NOTE: to make things a lot easier to read, thoughts will now be in italicizes.

---------------------------------

The first thing Joey felt was pain. He hurt from when he had landed. Soon enough he was also aware of the fact that he was lying on his back, and that something furry was lying next to his head. He opened his left eye a little and saw a still unconscious Terriermon. that must have been some fall, he thought, it knocked me unconscious.

Then he completely opened his eyes. He was lying in….. a jungle? And it wasn't just any jungle. The trees were all sorts of colors. Red, green, pink, anything. Just name a color, and there was a tree that color. Joey sat up, but it took a lot of effort to do so. Then he became aware of the fact that Veemon was there, but Taylor was not. He stood up, but was still a little weak from the fall, and had to lean against a tree. At that moment, something grabbed Joey's shoulders and yelled out, "BOO!"

Joey jumped up in surprise and turned around. A cheeky-looking Taylor was hanging upside-down from a tree branch. "Don't do that," Joey said in a loud voice, "You scared the crap out of me!"

The yelling woke up the two digimon. Taylor laughed and jumped down from the tree. He said, "it's about time you guys woke up. You've been asleep for practically forever!"

"Well you didn't have to scare me," Joey murmured as he looked at the surroundings again. He then said aloud, "So where are we?"

"the digital world," Taylor said. "I know that," Joey said in an irritated voice, "but where in the digital world are we?"

Taylor shrugged and said, "Dunno. I've never been to the digital world before."

"I dunno either," Veemon said. Terriermon simply shook his head. They all probably would have been content just standing around, but their stomachs made it nosily clear that they were hungry. Taylor sweat dropped and said, "We should probably find some food."

"Good idea," Joey said, "But where do we get food here?"

"Silly," Terriermon answered, "you get it from lots of places. Trees, rivers, vending machines…."

Taylor and Joey exchanged glances and said, "Vending machines?"

"Yup," Terriermon said, "And don't forget restaurants!"

"yeah," Veemon said, "Digitamamon's restaurant has the best food!"

"Where would we find him," Joey asked. Veemon pointed to a cliff not far away and said, "His restaurant is on a cliff. So if we want to find it, we should look along the cliffs!"

In the end they all agreed to go looking for this restaurant. As they set off on their quest, Joey couldn't help but wonder what else could there be in this strange world.

---------------------------

Many hours later, two hungry humans and two hungry digimon still hadn't found anything to eat. And, it was getting close to sunset as well. They had found and walked along a river for some time, then they had reached the ocean. They walked along the beach looking for the cliff with the restaurant on it, but had not had any luck yet. "Argh," Joey said, "I'm starving! This is worse than the time when we got hungry at the duelist kingdom!"

"What's the duelist kingdom," Taylor asked. He was not a big fan of duel monsters, and didn't know much of anything that happened with the game. Joey said, "The duelist kingdom is a place where a duel monsters tournament took place not too long ago. I was in it along with Yuugi, and we didn't any food with us. We were practically starving when Mai found us and shared her food with us."

"Who's Mai," Taylor asked. Joey said, "Mai is a girl we met at the duelist kingdom. She's kinda nice, but is really tough."

"Is she cute," Taylor asked. Joey nodded and said, "Oh yeah. She's hot! Very hot!"

Taylor grinned at the thought. He asked, "Is she single?"

Joey glared at him and said, "Hands off, buddy. She's mine!"

Taylor grinned his cheeky grin and said, "Momentai, Joey!"

Terriermon and Veemon exchanged glances. Terriermon said, "Human boys are weird."

Then, Veemon saw something on the cliff above them. He said, "Look, it's the restaurant!"

They all looked up. Sure enough, the restaurant was up above them on the cliff. Joey said, "Alright! Looks like we get to eat after all!"

There was a path up the cliff, and they all ran up it. When they reached the door, they were surprised to be greeted by many digimon. A digimon in an egg shell said, "Welcome to my restaurant! Have a seat and pick something to eat!"

Taylor, Joey, and Veemon were already drooling at the smells, but Terriermon was apprehensive. Something just didn't feel right.

----------------------------------

After the meal, Joey went up to pay the bill. The digimon in the egg shell (Digitamamon) rang up the bill and said, "alright, it will be seventy….."

"Seventy yen," Joey said, "Wow, that's really cheap!"

"I'm not talking in yen," Digitamamon said, "I'm talking In dollars."

"That's more like a few thousand yen," Taylor said. Joey looked into his wallet and said, "But all I have is yen….."

"Don't worry," Digitamamon said, "We will take yen here."

Joey bent over to Taylor and whispered, "How much yen is seventy dollars?"

Taylor whispered the amount in Joey's ear, and Joey's eyes went wide. He said, "I don't think I have that much with me…..how much do you have."

"Not enough," Taylor said dismally. Digitamamon became mad. He said, "So you are trying to skip out on the bill!"

"No, it's not that," Joey said. It looked like things were about to go from bad to worse, when a small digimon came out from the kitchen and said, "Digitamamon, you have to see this!"

Digitamamon glared at the tamers and digimon and said, "Don't you dare go anywhere," then disappeared into the back. After a few minutes, he returned with a smile on his face. Well, his face was hidden by his shell, but his eyes told everyone that he was smiling. "I'm so sorry about that," he said, "your meal is free."

Taylor and Joey breathed a sigh of relief. Veemon was relived as well, but Terriermon was apprehensive. He's up to something, Terriermon thought, but what?

"Why don't you come out back," Digitamamon said, "We have something for you."

The two tamers nodded, and Joey said, "He must have heard that we are tamers."

They went out back, and were immediately jumped by several yellow digimon with vines for arms. Soon, all four of them were tied up by these digimon. "these are Vegimon," Taylor said, " but what are they doing?!"

"We have heard of you," Digitamamon said, "Lord Myotismon warned us of humans traveling with digimon. He wants you to be turned in to him, dead or alive."

"Oh great," Joey said while gritting his teeth, "figures that scumbag would set a trap for us!"

"But how," Taylor said, "He wasn't that far ahead of us. We were only a few minutes behind him before we got separated. And even then he should have only been a few hours ahead of us!"

"Time flows much faster in the digital world," Digitamamon said, those few minutes he was ahead of you became a few days. We were warned four days ago of your coming!"

That means he has had four days to hurt Mokuba and Yuugi, Joey thought, who knows what has happened to them.

Terriermon said, "You overgrown egg! How can you be so dense! Myotismon is the enemy, not us!"

"You dare to insult me," Digitamamon said in an evil-sounding voice, "I will crush you!"

"No," Taylor yelled, "Digitamamon is an ultimate level digimon. Terriermon will be killed with one attack!"

No, Joey thought, Terriermon………

Digitamamon yelled out, "Nightmare Syndrome," and unleashed an attack at Terriermon just as Joey screamed, "No, don't!"

Then, Joey's digivice glowed. So did Terriermon. Terriermon said, "Terriermon, digivolve to…. Gargomon!"

The Vegimon were surprised and they let Gargomon go. He jumped out of the way of the attack. Taylor yelled out, "Alright," as Joey breathed a sigh of relief. Gargomon then attacked the Vegimon that were holding Veemon down. He said, "you get the others loose while I distract the walking egg."

Veemon nodded and went over to Joey. He yelled out, "Vee-head butt," and hit the Vegimon holding Joey down. He then went to go free Taylor, but the Vegimon holding him down had become wise to this. He had grabbed Taylor around the neck and said, "if you even try, I'll snap his neck like a twig! And you better get your other friend to stop fighting."

"What a dirty move," Gargomon practically spat out at him as he stopped fighting. Taylor said, "Don't worry about me! Just get out of here!"

"I can't," Veemon said, "you're my tamer!"

Taylor then came up with a plan. He pulled his head forward a little, then snapped it back really fast. His head hit the face of the Vegimon, causing it to drop him. He scrambled over by Veemon and said, "We better got out of here. Digitamamon will crush us if we try to fight."

Joey nodded. Gargomon picked up the two tamers and set them on his shoulders. Veemon then jumped up on his head. He then jumped off the cliff. He then pointed his hand-gun things at the ground and said, "Gargo laser!"

The bullets coming from his gun things caused him to slow in decent. He landed on the ground with ease, and everyone jumped off his shoulders. They then took off like bats out of hell down the beach. As soon as they were far enough away, they stopped for a moment to catch their breath. Gargomon also de-digivolve to Terriermon. "I don't get it," Joey said in between breaths, "How did you digivolve? I didn't even slash a card."

"Maybe it was your heart," Taylor said, "Maybe your fear for Terriermon's safety caused your digivice to activate."

"Maybe," Joey said. Terriermon jumped up on his head and said, "awww, I didn't know you cared."

Joey smiled. Veemon said, "It's getting dark, so we better find a place to stay for the night."

They eventually did, and went to sleep. But not before agreeing to never eat at a restaurant in the digital world again.
