This one is a shorter chapter then what I've done before, but it's mostly a more for the transition. Thank you for reading and reviewing I appreciate it. I am really trying to keep in the vein of humor. So if I do happen to do things that seem cruel it's not intentional, but some of this stuff has happened to people I know.
And of course the standard disclaimers: I don't own digimon (just a few action figures) and I never will own it (except in my dreams). Thanks

Chapter 0.3 The Radio Incident.

A long black van pulled up in front of the digidestine as they talked beside the park wall. It looked like it was several decades old and was ready to be retired. It had dark tinted windows and large rust spots in the side. The front bumper was covered in stickers in different languages and the back bumper was missing.

The digidestine just stared as they watched Matt, Sora and TK file out of it with nervous grins. "Hi all." They greeted as their digimon rushed out of the van all to glad to be out also.

"Ummm Matt?" Tai asked eyeing the van.

"Yeah. Just don't ask....okay." He said as if he knew what was going to be asked.

"Um, No. I have to ask man, Where did you get that and what happened to your car?"

"This belongs to the guy who helps with the lighting at our concert. It was the only thing I could borrow on short notice that everyone would fit in." Matt answered obviously upset about the whole incident.

"Okay and?"

"His car blew its transmission this morning at the flower shop." Tk answered trying to save his brother the trouble of having to go through the story for the millionth time. "We're lucky we got this."

"Uh huh...." Davis broke in before anyone else said anything. "See told you. Today is cursed." He then walked up to look inside the van.

"Cursed?" Sora asked.

"Don't worry about it." Kari said waving off the idea, "We have a vehicle so let's not worry." She said picking up her bag.

"Well there are a few things we should warn you about." Sora said.

"Hey why are there no seats in here?" Davis asked from the van. Everyone immediately looked at Matt.

"They where taken out to haul equipment." He shrugged.

"Okay that shouldn't be too bad so long as we stay seated." Yolei said as the digidestine began filing towards the van to put their beach supplies inside.

"Well it also has no air conditioner." TK said helping Kari with her stuff.

"uh.. well. It's definitely going to be hot." Tai said nervously disliking where this was going.

"We can open the windows." Cody said still trying to look on the bright side as he climbed in.

"And well the radio broke this morning also." Sora said looking down at her feet. The others just stopped and stared blankly at Matt.

"Oh man this is going to be a long ride." Agumon said rolling his eyes.

"You have no idea." Gabumon whispered to him.

"What did you do to the radio Matt?" Izzy asked.

"It wasn't my fault!" he yelled throwing up his hands.

"It really wasn't." Tk said before anyone made a comment on Matt's loud music. "When we got the van the guy turned it on for us and as he turned on the radio it squealed and then sparks and black smoke came out of it."

"Man it was his fault he touched it first." Matt said.

"Hey!" Tk yelled back. "All I did was tap it. Tap it!" he threw himself down next to Kari and the digimon. "Taping something doesn't make black smoke come out of it."

"It did with the toaster this morning." Matt mumbled as he helped Sora into the passenger seat. The others just stared at the brothers with blank looks. Tk however didn't respond he just ignored his brother.

"Have they been like this all morning?" Gatomon asked Patomon.

"Uh huh." He said nodding.

"Come on guys!" Yolei said snapping the others out of their stupor. "It is just going to mean we will enjoy the beach more once we get there. So there are a few problems. Who cares."

"She right." Sora said "We can't dwell on the bad stuff all day." That earned her a chorus of moans. Davis mentioned a curse again but got smacked over the head by Yolei.

"Come on guys lets get this show on the road." Tai said, "There is a point to this trip." He reminded them as Matt began pulling out onto the road.

"So TK what happened to the toaster?" Kari asked. He didn't say anything. "Come on. It can't be that bad, we've all had accidents today."

"Yeah several." Davis added still rubbing his head.

"I put toast in it." Tk stared down at his sneakers. "And then something happened it got stuck and caught on fire." He rushed to finish.

"Geez everyone's catching their kitchens on fire." Izzy said. When he realized what he had admitted to he just blushed and looked away.
