Author's Note: Just wanted to give a shoutout to my friend Jamie, who spent the last month designing the cover image for this story. He just got one of those drawing pad things, and this is the first picture he drew with it. I watched him put the finishing touches on the cover, and wow, it's a lot of work! He said his favorite part of drawing this was creating the logo, lol!


Recap: Lily disbands the four teams and divides everyone into two new teams. These new teams must hop on their boats and race each other to a new continent. The common problem these teams have is deciding who should be the team captain. Kick-Ass Firepower caves in and lets Zoe lead the ship, while the BAMFs takes a long time arguing who should be captain. Thanks to a popularity contest, the BAMFs choose Thomas over Izzy as their team captain. Kari finds a weakness that stops the BAMFs from advancing forward, and TK is sent knocking over the water. Man overboard anyone? If that wasn't enough, everyone sails peacefully until they run into a demon of the sea. Both teams work together to defeat this ugly digimon by throwing paint balloons at it. Each team runs out of balloons so it's all up to the captains' navigation skills to get them to the continent. Unfortunately, Thomas gets the team going around in circles and Izzy takes over as captain. Although Izzy moves the ship in the right direction, it wasn't enough to reach Server Continent first. Thomas didn't only get his team lost at sea, but he also lost a chance to stay in the competition.


The Carnival Games

"What better way to start off on Server Continent than to head to an amusement park?" Gennai grinned.

"Are you serious?" Jeri asked excitedly.

"Oh baby! Pinch me cause I think I'm dreaming!" Davis gushed.

"Okay," Kari grabbed a piece of Davis's skin and twisted it.

"Ow ow ow! It was just an expression!" Davis rubbed his arm.

"I only wanted to help," Kari said coyly.


Camera Confessions:

"Did I mention I hate Kari? She's such a Mary Sue. 'Oh look at me! I'm so perfect with my little self, hee hee hee!' Give me a break. Seriously. That girl could take a dump in someone's hat, and everyone would still think she's adorable. Oh wait...," Zoe took off her hat and held it to her chest, as if she were protecting it. "Why is she on my team?!"


"This isn't a dream! You guys get to spend the whole day having fun!" Gennai waved his hands in the air.

"But?" Tai asked.

"But what?" Gennai said innocently.

"Chicken butt what!" Kazu yelled. Kenta automatically cracked up.

"What?" Koji scowled.

"I said what what, in the butt!" Kenta laughed.

"Stop...you went too far," Kazu put his hand on Kenta's shoulder and shook his head.

"We don't trust you, Gennai. We know there's a drawback, so get it over with and just tell us," Matt stood akimbo.

"Wow, smart boy you are," Gennai wagged his finger at Matt. "Okay, so you guys will be playing carnival games, but you'll have to win them if you want your team to avoid the Campfire Ceremonies. There are nine activities, and each team has to decide which person does which game. For every game that someone wins, they will be awarded a gold medal. The team with the most gold medals wins. Any questions?"

Joe raised his hand. "You said there are nine activities, right?"

"Yes," Gennai clenched his fists.

"And you said each team has to pick one person to do a certain activity, right?"

"Yes boy, yes! Weren't you listening to a damn thing I said?" Gennai snapped.

"I did, but I don't understand this. If there are nine games, with two people to each game, then that means 18 contestants can play," Joe explained.

"Wow, someone's a mathematician," Gennai rolled his eyes.

"But there's 19 of us, so we have one person extra," Joe pushed up his glasses.

Gennai pulled a calculator out of his robe, and then counted the contestants. "Jiminy Cricket, you're right! For that, I'll reward you by letting you play the funniest game out here," Gennai hugged Joe.

"What will I get to play?" Joe said.

"Ticket ripper!" Gennai let go of him.

"Ticket ripper?!" Joe spazzed.

"Yeah, ticket ripper!" Gennai enthusiascally.

"Really? You've got to be kidding me," Joe slumped.

"I know you're totally stoked, but you don't want to show it because you don't want to make people jealous. You're so modest!" Gennai patted Joe on the back. "Now go with the nice Gotsumon and head to the ticket booth. Have fun!" he called as the Gotsumon dragged Joe away. "For the rest of you, here's a list of the activities:

Carnival Games

1) Hot dog eating contest

2) Horse Derby

3) Cake Walk

4) Skeeball

5) Soccer Kick

6) Shoot the Hoops

7) Duck Pond

8) Mechanical Bull

9) Kissing booth

"When you decide who does what, tell me so I can jot it down in my Hello Kitty notepad. I just got it yesterday so I'm really excited to use it," Gennai held up a small, pink notepad.

"What doesn't he keep in that robe?" Takato whispered.

"Tell me about it. It's like he has a whole convenience store in there," Yolei muttered.

"Hey Gennai?" Kouichi raised his hand. " What's up with the kissing booth? That's not necessarily a competitive game."

"Well, the digimon who usually run the kissing booth caught a nasty virus, so they need someone to fill in for them. Naturally, me being the good humanitarian that I am, volunteered you guys out," Gennai grinned. "Whoever gets the kissing booth has to get more kisses than their opponent. I would say 'Any more questions?' but I just want to head back to my nice, fancy RV as soon as possible."

"I wanna do the Soccer Kick," TK said.

"Are you sure?" Matt raised an eyebrow. "I think Davis is the best choice for that game."

"Yeah!" Davis nodded. "Me too."

"Davis is the captain of his soccer team, so he should play that game, And besides, you're really good at basketball, so we need you for Shoot The Hoops," Yolei said.

"Are you guys saying you don't think I can do the Soccer Kick?" TK frowned.


Camera Confessions:

"I hate when TK does that puppy dog look. How can anyone with a heart say no to that face?" Matt brushed his hair back. "That's pretty much how he ended up taking my favorite motorcycle jacket..."


"Fine, but don't screw it up," Davis grunted.

"I get dibs on the Hot Dog Eating Contest!" Marcus said. "Man, I remember how me and Agumon used to eat a mountain of fried eggs all the time. I miss my mom's cooking."

"I volunteer as tribute!" Zoe raised her fist up.

"What are you talking about?" Rika snapped.

"I'll do the kissing booth," Zoe flipped her hair. "I am attractive, so I'll definitely win this one."

"Okay then," Kari shrugged. "Saves the rest of us from having to make out with digimon."

"Hey Takato," Jeri pulled at his sleeve. "You should do the Cake Walk."

"Yeah! That's a good idea!" Tai nodded his head.

"What?! Just because I work at a bakery doesn't mean I can do a cake walk!" Takato held his hands in front of his chest.

"Don't belittle yourself like that," Sora said. "We all know you can do this."

"But-"

"Awesome, so Takato's doing the Cake Walk," Tai said. "Now we gotta decide what the rest of us are gonna do. Let's get down to business here," he cracked his knuckles.

"What?!" Izzy exclaimed. "Why?"

"Because you were taking too long to choose what game to play," Davis said.

"Well, how could I choose when everyone snatched up all of the other games in a millisecond?!" Izzy gripped his head.

"I told you, you took too long," Davis shrugged. "Besides, you look like you need to get some."

"But with a digimon?!" Izzy screeched. "Kazu, switch with me?"

"I'd like to, but no. I'm pretty boss at Skeeball," Kazu smirked.

"You know you can't just walk up the ramp and drop the ball in the bullseye, right?" Kenta scoffed.

"But that's how I win," Kazu frowned.

"Yeah, so you should let me do Skeeball. I know physics, so that will give me a great advantage to win this game," Izzy said.

"Physics? More like physical, which is what you'll be doing when you snog your face off!" Kazu stuck his tongue out.

"Come on! Yolei?" Izzy begged. "You like to make out with anything that breathes...and sometimes things that don't breathe."

"That's true, but sorry, you're on your own," Yolei laughed.

"Everyone's assigned to their activities?" Gennai loudly asked.

"We sure are!" Mimi smiled.

"Oh brother...why me?" Izzy sighed.


Game 0: Ticket Ripping

"Look kid, it's not that hard," the Gotsumon said. "A sheet of 20 tickets are 10 bucks, and the unlimited ticket pass is 25 dollars. All you gots to do is rip the tickets from this," the Gotsumon put his hand on a big roll of tickets. "And if people buy the unlimited pass, then you get to put these orange bracelets on their wrists. That's my favorite part of the job. Got it? Good."

"I guess," Joe sighed.

"Look, here's your first customer. Now sell, sell, sell!"

"Okay," Joe groaned as he shuffled his way to the booth window. "Hello, how many tickets do you want?"

"That's my boy! I love how you sound completely uninterested! People like it when you look like you hate your job!" the Gotsumon gave Joe a thumbs-up.

"I hate this challenge," Joe muttered.

"Good work, good work! You sound so convincing! At this rate, you'll be ripping more tickets than everybody else!" the Gotsumon happily said.


Game 1: Hot Dog Eating Contest

"Oh, it's you," Marcus grumbled.

"I could say the same thing about you," Tai made a face.

"Whatever. Just know that I'm gonna tear this place around like the badass motherfucker I am!" Marcus jerked his thumb at himself.

"Please," Tai rolled his eyes. "I'm gonna kick your ass so hard, it'll explode and pieces of your ass will end up in Pluto!"

"I know what you're trying to do!" Marcus grabbed Tai by his shirt. "And it's not gonna work!"

"Break it up, break it up!" a Burgermon stood in between the boys. "The hot dog eating contest is starting so you better get seated!"

"Ha ha, you're a Burgermon and you're taking over the hot dog eating contest. That's so ironically funny!" Tai laughed.

"What's so funny about that?" the Burgermon glared at Tai. "Just because I'm a burger digimon, I can't hold a hot dog eating contest?"

"Uh...," Tai hesitated.

"You just pissed off a digimon!" Marcus sneered.

"Just get in your seats," the agitated Burgermon pointed to a table.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to the 879th annual Hot Dog Eating Contest," a Floramon stepped on stage. "The rules of the game are simple! You have until sundown to eat as many hot dogs as you can. You must eat the whole hot dog, and you can only eat one hot dog at a time. If you throw up, you're automatically disqualified. If you do not finish your hot dog, you are disqualified. And if we catch you spitting out or hiding your hot dogs, not only are you disqualified, but you will also get hit by a bunch of paddles for cheating. That's pretty much all of the rules, so when I blare the horn, start eating!"

*SCREEEECH*

"You're going down!" Tai snatched a hot dog out of Marcus's hand.

"Oh yeah, buddy?" Marcus grabbed another hot dog. "Well, I'm not scared! I've had a lot of practice!" he said while chomping down on a hot dog.

"You know it's rude to talk with your mouth full? Did your mom teach you any manners?" Tai grumbled in between bites.

"Whatever, at least my mom's not banging Gennai!" Marcus retorted.

"Uh oh," Tai put his hand on his stomach. He sat backwards in his seat and threw up.

"You're disqualified!" a Floramon waved a red flag in front of Tai's face.


Game 2: Horse Derby

"Come one, come all for a game of Horse Derby, where there's always a winner in every round!" an Etemon stood on top of the counter. "Oh, look! Whaddya have here? You guys ready for a game?"

"Sure," Kouichi shrugged.

"I'm down yo!" Kenta stood in a gangster pose.

"Right...," the Etemon made a face. "Here's the rundown! You guys have water guns attached to this counter. You press the handle buttons and water will shoot out. Aim for the red center over here," the Etemon motioned at the little targets on the wall. "When you hit the red, your horse will move farther down the path," he pointed to four horses attached to the wall. The first horse to cross the finish line gets a prize! Ready...set...go!"

Kouichi and Kenta started to shoot their water guns. "Dammit! Why are you ahead?" Kenta grunted. Kouichi simply ignored him as he concentrated on the game. "Hey! Are you listening to me?" Kenta yelled. Kouichi was still fixated on the game. "Okay, maybe this will get your attention!" Kenta aimed his gun at Kouichi and sprayed him with water.

"What was that for?!" Kouichi let go of his gun.

"Ha ha! Sucker!" Kenta laughed as he shot water at his target. "Go pony, go!"


Game 3: Cake Walk

"I seriously can't do this," Takato looked at the clear pool in front of him. There were podiums on each side of the pool, with only two narrow, wooden planks acting as bridges connecting the podiums together.

"I don't think I can do this either," Matt winced. "I thought the Cake Walk was an eating contest."

"How could this be an eating contest?" Takato looked at Matt as if he said something stupid, even though Matt did say something stupid.

"Well, I thought a Cake Walk is when you eat as many cakes as you can while walking," Matt said.

"Okay...," Takato turned away from Matt.

"Welcome to the infamous Cake Walk!" a Candlemon spoke through a microphone. "Who wants to be our first contestants?"

"We don't want to, but we have to," Matt said.

"Okay, come on up, children," the Candlemon said. Takato and Matt climbed the ladder up to the podium and stood next to the Candlemon. "Glad you boys want to play! The rules are simple! All you have to do is walk on those planks from one side of the pool to the other, and then back. The first person to do so wins. If you fall into the pool, you lose. Any questions?"

"How is cake involved in this?" Matt asked.

"Oh, that's right! Thanks for reminding me!" the Candlemon motioned two smaller Candlemon to him. The Candlemon carried four cakes with them. They handed two cakes to each boy. "I forgot to mention, you need to hold up a cake in each hand, with your palm flat underneath the cakes, kinda like how the pizza guys carry pizza pies. The winner gets to keep his cakes to eat. Ready to play?"

"I guess," Takato gulped. "Just one question. How high up are we from the pool?"

"Twenty feet," the Candlemon said.

"Wow, that's gonna be one nasty fall," Matt remarked.

"It sure is," the Candlemon said. "So if you do fall, try to fall inside the pool."

"We'll try," Takato began to tremble.

"Hey, buddy? Wanna trade cakes with me? I don't like lemon creme," Matt said.


Game 4: Skeeball

"Watch out, cause I'm gonna wipe the floor with your ass!" Kazu poked Koji in the chest.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Koji threatened. "How about you stop talking smack and start losing?"

"What are you trying to say, you ponytail wearing dude?"

"Just what I said," Koji coldly said. "I'm going to win."

"Wow. You really are a jerk," Kazu grimaced.

"And you're a homo. Truth hurts, huh?" Koji nonchantly adjusted his bandana.

"Okay, you know the rules," a Jijimon said. "You've got ten balls. Roll them up the ramp to put them in the holes. The person with the highest score wins. Now get started!"

Koji began to roll his balls up the ramp while Kazu put all his balls under his shirt. "Hey Jijimon! There's a Babamon over there!" Kazu pointed in a random direction.

"Oooh, where? I sure do love me my Babamon!" the Jijimon squinted.

"Over...there," Kazu pointed. "Do you see?"

"Not really. I have to get a better view," the Jijimon began to wander off.

"Heh heh," Kazu chuckled as he ran up the ramp.

"What are you doing?" Koji grunted.

"Winning," Kazu said as he dropped balls into the 500 point zone. "Like a boss!"


Game 5: Soccer Kick

"TK?" Sora asked. "I never thought I'd be competing with you. I naturally assumed Davis would play this game."

"Why? Don't think I can play soccer too?" TK said defensively.

"No, I didn't say that. I just thought you guys would pick Davis because he seems like the best choice for a game like this. I guess you must be really good yourself."

"Geez! Does anybody believe in me?" TK gripped his head.

"Sorry, sorry," Sora apologized. "Someone's a little touchy."

"Yay yay yay! I love to play games!" Calumon jumped up and down in his stool. "This game is really fun! You get ten soccer balls, which you have to kick through the holes!" Calumon excitedly pointed to two pieces of plywood with big holes in them. "Whoever gets the most balls through the holes wins the game! Yay for winning!"

"I've got this, I know I can do this," TK gave himself a pep talk. He watched as Sora effortlessly kicked her soccer balls.

"Shoot, I missed one," Sora said.

"Okay, time to prove how awesome you are," TK talked to himself. He kicked a soccer ball really hard toward the plywood. He missed it and the ball flew back and hit him in the face. "Owww!" TK fell backwards, clutching his face.

"Ohhh," Calumon's ears went down. "Owwies hurt."

"Are you okay?" Sora asked.

"I'm fine," TK got himself up from the floor. He kicked another ball and missed again. The ball ricocheted and hit him on the crotch.

"Ummmph," TK whimpered in pain and dropped down on his knees.

"That looks like it hurts," Calumon looked at TK in pity.


Game 6: Shoot The Hoops

"Stupid TK," Davis grumbled as a basketball bounced off the rim. "I'm not that good at this! He should know that! Stupid bastard!" he furiously kept throwing basketballs at the hoop, missing every time.

"Can you keep it down? Some of us are trying to win," Rika scoffed.

"I know, right?" Davis said. "It's pretty hard to win when the blasted hoop keeps moving back and forth!"

"Please don't talk to me," Rika said in monotone. She threw a ball and it went through the hoop.

"I see someone doesn't like conversation. Fine then. I'll be quiet," Davis said. "Just pretend that square area is TK's face. Yeah, that'll work," he mumbled.

"Whatever happened to you being quiet?" Rika said in annoyance.

"Okay, okay! I'll seriously be quiet...starting now," Davis said. He picked up a basketball and aimed for the square area on the backboard. The ball gracefully went through the hoop. "He shoots, he scores! Bank shot bitches, woot woot!" he pumped his fists up in the air and thrust his pelvis back and forth.

"Amateur," Rika threw a basketball at Davis's head.

"Oww! You just messed up my victory dance!" Davis whined.

"That's not the only thing I'll mess up," Rika grit her teeth.


Game 7: Duck Pond

"Awww, aren't the ducks so cute?" Mimi gushed.

"They are! I want one," Jeri smiled.

"Hey girlies," a Betamon trudged it's way up to them. "Are you the people that Gennai sent?"

"Yes," Jeri said.

"Okay!" the Betamon walked them over to his booth. "Pick a fishing rod."

"I get the pink one!" Mimi yelled.

"That's fine cause I want the gold one," Jeri reached over to grab a fishing rod.

"The rods and the ducks are both magnetic," Betamon said. You girls will take turns fishing the ducks. For every duck you get, I open the cabinet that has the same number as the one written on the duck. The gold medal is in one of the cabinets, so if you get the duck that opens that cabinet, you win the game. So who wants to go first?"

"Me!" Mimi shot her hand up in the air.

"That's fine with me," Jeri fiddled with the magnet hanging off her fishing rod. Mimi walked over and cast her rod in the pool. "Mimi? What are you doing?" Jeri said, confused of why Mimi was avoiding the rubber ducks.

"I'm trying to get the pink duck," Mimi said casually. "Darn, I got green."


Game 8: Mechanical Bull

"Oh, wow. That looks dangerous," Kari bit her nails as she watched a Pawnchessmon get flung over by the bull.

"That's nothing," Yolei said. "Besides, he'll be fine. All that armor will protect him."

"Are you sure?" Kari said.

"Who wants a chance to challenge the bull?" a Deputymon said.

"Me! I can take this bull down for sure!" Yolei cracked her knuckles.

"Okay little lady! All you have to do is stay on the bull for as long as possible," a Starmon said.

"Oh, that's nothing!" Yolei said as she hopped on to the bull. "I'm ready! Show me what you've got!"

"Okay!" the Deputymon punched a big red button, which started the bull.

One hour later...

"Wow, Yolei. You've been on that bill for a while," Kari commented.

"She broke the record for most time on the bull!" the Deputymon said.

One hour later...

"Yeehaw!" Yolei took her beret off, cowboy-style.

"Okay, this is getting old," the Starmon checked his watch. He walked over to the red button and slammed it with his fist. The bull shut down and stopped moving.

"Hey! What gives?!" Yolei yelled.

"Sorry, but it's time for other people to get a turn," the Deputymon said.

"Fine," Yolei grudgingly got up from the booth and stomped over to Kari.

"Your turn, pretty little lady," the Starmon waved Kari over.

"Oh boy," Kari gulped.


Game 9: Kissing Booth

"Ughhh," Zoe slammed her elbows on the counter and rested her head on her hands. "It's been two hours and no one's come to our booth!"

"Good," Izzy muttered.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Zoe sat up and looked at him.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" he held up an issue of Popular Mechanics magazine.

"No wonder noboby's come to our booth!" Zoe sat up and glared at Izzy.

"What?" Izzy was getting agitated.

"Nobody wants to approach the booth when you look uninterested!" Zoe yelled.

"Well, I'm just playing hard to get," Izzy went back to read his magazine. "I think the real problem is the fact that you're scaring clients away with your desperation."

"You know what?!" Zoe got up from her booth and snatched the magazine out of Izzy's hands.

"Hey! I was reading that!" Izzy yelled.

"Well, not anymore!" Zoe chucked the magazine toward the candy apple booth across from them. The magazine fell into a vat of caramel.

"Are you kidding me?!" Izzy spazzed. "You can't just take other people's things and throw them wherever you please!"

"I can if it will get us some points!" Zoe clenched her teeth.

"Desperate," Izzy mumbled.

"What did you say?" Zoe grunted.

"Desperate," Izzy repeated. "If I looked up the definition of the word 'desperate' in a dictionary, your picture would be right next to it."

"Well if I looked up 'ginger memes' on Google, the first result that would pop up is a demotivational poster with your face on it, and underneath in captions it will say 'I got 99 problems but a soul ain't one of them'."

"Something tells me you've already seen it. Tai and Matt thought it would be funny if they uploaded that demotivation poster on the Internet. I guess it has more hits than I thought," Izzy shrugged.

"No soul! No soul!" Zoe shakily stood up on her stool and pointed at Izzy.

"Come on, no chit chatting!" a MarineAngemon said. "You guys won't be getting any kisses if you keep getting distracted!"

"That's just what I was just telling Izzy. He was reading a magazine on the job!" Zoe tattled.

"Well, I don't see a magazine around," the MarineAngemon said. "You have quite an imagination. If only you could use it to find a way to attract people to our booth."

"I am very attractive! People are just intimidated by my beauty!" Zoe yelled.

"*Cough cough* desperate *cough cough*," Izzy pounded on his chest.

"There goes that imagination again," the MarineAngemon shook its head and hovered behind them.

"This sucks," Zoe sighed. "Hey! You!" she hollered at a Beezlemon, his arm around a Rosemon. "Wanna kiss me?"

"Who is that crazy girl?" the Rosemon asked.

"I have no idea," the Beezlemon whispered. "Uh...I'm not interested in your offer," the Beezlemon winced at Zoe.

"Hey, how about a 2-for-1?" Zoe asked. "For only one ticket, you can kiss me and your girlfriend can kiss that," she pointed at Izzy.

"Did you just call me a 'that'?" Izzy said, offended.

"Shut up," Zoe shooed him away. "I'm trying to help us."

"I think we'll pass," the Rosemon cringed.

"Really? Really? Am I really that horrifying?" Izzy crossed his arms.

"Yes," Zoe said.

"Let's get out of here," the Beezlemon talked through the side of his mouth. The Rosemon nodded and they dashed off.

"Waaaait! Where are you- hey, Kouichi!"

"Hey," he walked up to the booth.

"Wanna do me a favor?" Zoe said coyly.

"Depends," Kouichi shrugged. "What is it?"

"Kiss me," Zoe said.

"What?!" Kouichi dropped the stuffed animal he had in his arms and he jumped back. "Did you just ask me to kiss you?!"

"Yes. No one's come to kiss us, and I need to get more kisses than Izzy in order to win this challenge," Zoe explained. "Also, it would be heartbreaking if I had the same score as Izzy, especially when it's a big fat goose egg," she made a circle with her hand.

"Hey!" Izzy snapped.

Kouichi picked up his stuffed cat and walked backwards. "Sorry, but I wouldn't kiss you, even if our team depended on it. I gotta go," he ran away.

"Someone needs to learn how to take one for the team!" Zoe yelled after him. "Also, you look gay carrying around that ridiculously huge cat!"

"Desperate," Izzy said.

"For the last time, I am not desperate!" Zoe pulled the stool underneath from Izzy and began hitting him with it.

"Oww! Oww! Stop it, you freak!" Izzy said in between beatings.

"Attention, attention! There are lost children in the park! Tai, Sora, Zoe, Joe, Kari, Jeri, Kouichi, Koji, Takato, Rika, Marcus, Matt, Yolei, Mimi, Izzy, TK, Kazu, Kenta and Davis! Your guardian, Gennai, is waiting at the Lost and Found for you," the speakers blared.

"I guess you guys have to go. That's good since you guys couldn't get ANY digimon to kiss you," the MarineAngemon shrugged.

"Finally," Zoe said.

"Tell me about it," Izy staryed to puck bimself up fron the floor. "I don't have to work with a lunatic like you."

*WHACK* Zoe hit him with the stool. The stool broke apart and Izzy fell back. "I might consider what words you choose to say when you're around me," she twirled a leg of the stool like a baton.

"Crazy girl," Izzy muttered. Zoe smashed the other stool on his back.

"I heard that!"


Kari and Yolei were the first ones to get to the Lost and Found. "Wow, how did you stay on the bull that long?" Kari asked.

"Oh, it was easy," Yolei said. "I just pretended like I was humping it. It felt pretty nice."

"Right," Kari looked away from Yolei.

"Hey guys!" Davis waved at them. "I totally kicked ass!"

"He means he totally got his ass kicked," Rika smirked.

"Whatever," Davis said in a Valley Girl accent. "Talk to the hand!"

"Uhhh," Tai groaned. Marcus was carrying him on his back.

"For a guy that lost an eating contest, you sure are heavy," Marcus remarked.

"You cheated," Tai slurred.

"No I didn't. Since when is stating the facts considered cheating?" Marcus said.

"Hi guys!" Mimi ran up to them. Jeri walked in her normal pace.

"Sup?" Davis said.

"Look at this pretty metal I won," Mimi held up it up for the others to see.

"Yeah, it was kinda funny," Jeri sounded like she was gonna hold back tears. "The only thing she cared about was getting the pink duck, cause it's her favorite color. Who knew it was the winning one."

"Hey Takato, hey Matt!" Yolei waved. "What happened to you, Matt? Why are you wet? And Takato, why are you carrying two cakes?"

"Fell in pool," Matt shivered.

"I walked the planks just fine. Cake anyone?" Takato handed a chocolate cake to Marcus.

"Get that thing away from me," Tai groaned. "I can't...I don't feel good."

"Gah! If you're gonna throw up, I don't want to carry you around!" Marcus dropped Tai on the floor.

"I don't even want to know," Yolei shook her head at a limping Kazu.

"Just teaching him a lesson," Koji said.

"You didn't have to beat me up!" Kazu said.

"Hmph," Koji shrugged and walked away from him.

"Hey guys," Sora said as she pushed TK in a wheelbarrow.

"TK! What happened to you?!" Matt yelled.

"He kicked the soccer balls so hard, they bounced off the wall and hit him back," Sora explained.

"I got one goal though," TK said.

"You idiot!" Davis screeched. "You should have done Shoot the Hoops like we told you to!"

"I should have listened," TK yawned.

"Zoe, I know it's a kissing booth and all, but you didn't have to get all S&M on Izzy," Marcus joked.

"Please! It was more like I was teaching him a lesson!" Zoe crossed her arms and turned her nose up in the air. Izzy's knees gave out and he collapsed on the floor.

"I really really don't want to know," Yolei shook her head at Kouichi and Kenta. They were both dripping wet.

"I got you a cat cause you know, your digimon was a cat and yeah, so here," Kouichi handed his stuffed animal to Kari.

"Awww, thanks! That's so sweet," Kari hugged him. Feet away, Zoe was fuming.

"Yo broad," Kenta put his hand on Zoe's shoulders. "I didn't know your ears were chimneys cause there's a lot of smoke coming from them."

"Shut up!" Zoe smacked him in the face.

"Damn, girl. You don't have to hit on me!" Kenta clutched his face.

"You moron!" Zoe slapped him again.

"Stop hitting on Kenta," Gennai stood behind Zoe. "Okay, it looks like everyone's here! So let's count the medals! Who won the eating contest?"

"Right here, buddy," Marcus flashed his gold medal.

"Awesome," Gennai scribbled in his pink notepad. "Who won what?"

"Whoa whoa whoa! What happened with the Kissing Booth?"

"We didn't get anyone to kiss us," Zoe huffed.

"I wonder why," Gennai muttered. "So you're telling me both of you lost?"

"Yeah," Zoe grit her teeth.

"But that makes us tied!" Sora said. "How are we gonna going to decide which team wins the challenge?"

"Good question," Gennai rubbed his chin. "How about you flip for it?"

"Okay," Kazu did a backflip. "Beat that suckas!"

"That's not what I meant," Gennai said. "I meant this," he pulled a quarter out of his robe. "Pick a side and the one that shows face up gets to avoid elimination.

"Tails!" Mimi blurted.

"GENNAI!" the Gotsumon ran up to him, pulling Joe by the wrist.

"Dammit! Don't tell me Joe did something wrong," Gennai groaned.

"No, no! He actually did a good job selling tickets. He sold more tickets than everyone else!" the Gotsumon said.

"Here's my medal," Joe handed his medal to Gennai.

"Hmmm, I guess that settles it," Gennai shrugged. "Kick-Ass Firepower! You win again! Badass Motherfuckers...you guys lost two times in a row. Good way to start a team, right? Campfire Ceremonies it is for you!"

"But that's not fair! The other team had more games!" Matt protested.

"Hush hush," Gennai shooed Matt away. "Don't be a sore loser!"

"But I'm-"

"Matt, stop being a whiner," Gennai said. "Just accept the fact your team lost!"


Campfire Ceremonies

"Well, well, well," Gennai paced around the campfire. "It's down to the four people who lost their games. Who will be safe from tonight's ceremony?" he paused.

"Come on! The suspense is killing meee!" Davis rocked back and forth in his log.

"Here, I'll ease it up. Davis, you're safe for one more week," Gennai said. "Now only three remain...Kenta. You also dodged elimination. Gotta admit, you spraying your water gun at Kouichi was hilarious!"

"Phew," Kenta wiped his forehead.

"Now, it's brother versus brother. One brother couldn't keep his balance. The other brother ended up being the goalie...either way, they have have really bad coordination. Now the tricky part is deciding who gets to board the Loser Cruiser," Gennai circled around Matt and TK.

"Matt," Gennai paused. "Say goodbye to your brother because he's the one who got voted out!"

"What?! Why me?" TK was shocked.

"Easy," Matt said. "This was not a good time for you to try a sport!"

"He's right," Davis said. "If I played soccer, we would have won! Thanks for screwing things up!"

"Yeah, and you're basically a casualty to our team. We can't have someone like you on our team if we wanna win. We had to save your ass in the last challenge because you couldn't swim," Yolei explained.

"Also, what doofus ends up hitting himself with the soccer ball?" Kazu sneered. "Every. Single. Time."

"Okay , okay," Gennai said. "No more kind words, it's time for TK to go now! Shoo, shoo!"

"Okay," TK shuffled away.

"Now who wants some cake?" Marcus held up his chocolate cake.

"Nooo," Tai barfed on the fire.


Last Words...

"Gotta throw the whole me getting hit with the soccer ball thing...and me not knowing how to swim in my face. If you ask me, that soccer game was rigged!" TK shook his head. "Who knew this is how I'd be voted off? I wish I got voted off for a cool reason, like I did something really badass...wait, that didn't make sense. I wish I won the damn competition!"
