"How hard can it be to find a couple of pre-teens at the fair?" Taichi yelled. Yamato threw him an incredulous look, and Taichi grumbled, "Well, you know what I mean!"

The two boys had been looking for their siblings for twenty minutes. "I do hope you realize this is all your fault." Yamato told him, running a hand through his blond hair. "If you hadn't been so intent on
analyzing that kiss..."

"My fault? No way!" Taichi exploded. "You-"

Just then, Yamato spotted a familiar brunette and blond, wearing hot pink and green, respectively. "Hey, I see them!"

Taichi shoved in front of him. "Where? Where do you see them?"

Rolling his eyes, Yamato pointed towards them. "Over there. Come on, do you want to lose them again?"

"I didn't lose them the last time!"

"Whatever." Yamato followed after Taichi, who was pushing through the crowds, with a slight smile on his face.

"They really could have used a few Bakamon to liven that 'Haunted House' up a bit." Takeru commented. Hikari giggled.

"A few of the tricks in there made you jump, TK." She told him fondly.

"I was just surprised!"

Hikari grinned. "Riiight." Just then, her eye caught on something. She smirked, a plan forming in her head. Latching on to his arm, Hikari asked, "TK, can we please go there?" She pointed with her free hand.

Takeru looked to where she was pointing, and a slight blush crept across his face. "Uh, the Love boats?"

"Yeah! Please? It'll be really romantic..."

"Uh..." He stammered, then looked down at the adorable face she was giving him. He melted under that gaze, and sighed softly. "Sure..." He breathed. Hikari giggled, and started pulling him towards the stand.

'What am I getting myself in to?' Takeru moaned to himself.

"Daisuke, will you slow down?" The brunette didn't even look back at Ken, who was trailing him and rapidly running out of steam. Both Chibimon and Menomon peered out his bag.

"What's got in to him, anyway?" Chibimon asked, confused.

"I don't know...but I think it has something to do with Takeru and Hikari..." Menomon replied.

Ken ignored the two in-training digimon, concentrating on catching up with Daisuke, and thinking up ways to keep him from trouble. So intent was he on his plans that he nearly ran in to Daisuke, who had
stopped.

"Well, this is the place." Daisuke muttered, looking up at the sign.

"Daisuke...?" Daisuke turned at the sound of his friend's voice. "Are you certain you want to do this? I mean," Ken colored slightly, but continued on in his quiet voice. "What do you plan on doing, exactly?"

With a sheepish grin, Daisuke shoved his hands in pockets. "I dunno...but I gotta make sure. You know, 'bout Hikari." He shrugged, and Ken gave him a slight smile.

"I see. Well then, you do realize I intend to come with you. So, shall we go?"

Chuckling wryly, Daisuke grinned, and gestured towards the entrance. "Let's!"

Koushiro finished off the last of the brownies, and stared at the screen of the computer. "Well, things in the Digital World seem pretty stable..." He said aloud. Leaning back in his chair, he sighed. "I have
the distinct feeling I'm missing something...where did everyone else run off to?"

Pulling out an advanced computer-programming textbook, Koushiro flipped open to his current chapter. "And why'd they leave me all alone?" He asked petulantly, to no one in particular.

"Mmm...thanks for the ice cream, Jyou." Mimi said happily. Sora nodded, smiling.

Jyou chuckled. "No problem. Anything to make a couple of beautiful ladies happy."

Mimi hit him playfully on the shoulder with her free hand. "Flirt!" She delicately licked her cone. "So, where are we going next?" She glanced slyly at the boy through her lashes. "Feel much like reminding
us how much of a 'man' you are?" Linking her free arm in one of Jyou's, she winked at Sora, her eyes darting towards a stand a few meters away. Sora quickly caught on, and grinned, grabbing Jyou's arm with her free hand.

"Yes, Jyou," She said coyly, helping Mimi lead the confused teen to their destination. "Seeing as we know you so have it in you!"

"Uh, huh? What are you-" His eyes widened with fear at the sight of the 'Strong Man Test of Strength'.

"Oh, yes." Mimi smiled evilly, and Sora pushed Jyou towards the attendant.

"Our friend here would like a try." She said sweetly, while Jyou moaned.

"I'm allergic to tests of strength, I'll have you know!"

"Miyako, don't you think we should be looking for Daisuke and Ken?" Miyako pulled her greedy eyes away from the sight of a couple cute older guys, and glanced down at Iori.

"Yeah, you're right." She laughed wryly. "There's just so much to see here..." She glanced back at teenagers.

Iori sweatdropped, and sighed. He looked around in vain for some sight of their friends. Then suddenly, the boy was aware of a loud rumbling. Embarrassed, he glanced down at his betraying stomach.

Laughing, Miyako grinned at Iori. "Sounds like you're as hungry as I feel! I've brought some snacks from my Dad's convenience store. What do you say we go sit down someplace to eat? We can easily watch for the others while we satisfy our hunger!"

Iori smiled, at nodded. "Thanks, Miyako." He did not mention his private opinion that his older friend would not be focusing on the boys they were supposed to be looking for.

Nervously, Takeru helped his girlfriend into the swan boat. His face was still tinged a soft shade of red, but he valiantly tried to keep his embarrassment from the ride under control.

Hikari was loving it. Not that she enjoyed seeing her best friend and now boyfriend in discomfort, but the brunette had always wanted to do something like this. As the attendant sent them on their way into the tunnel, Hikari leaned over and whispered, "Thanks, TK." Her lips softly brushed his ear, and once more a goofy grin lit his face.

"Anything for you, 'Kari." He replied back softly. She giggled, then wrapped her arm around his, leaning her head on his shoulder.
