A/N: This is going to sort of jump ahead in the timeline of the two week stay at the cabin, and this is going to be the last event they do, so it's going to be long. Forgive me for not having more things for them to do, but I can just write more stories about things like that and I'm getting tired of having to think up everything for this one. And for the lateness of this chapter, I have an excuse. See, my mom banned me from getting on the Internet until the end of school, which was on Thursday, May 30th. I got banned the day I let out the last chapter, so I couldn't upload this one. I'm so sorry, but anyways I've decided to upload this one along with the next few, so how can you be mad at me? **sweet face** I'm doing this all for you guys. R/R please, and enjoy the fic.

A Trip to the Zoo

"Breakfast is ready!"

Eleven teenagers stumbled into the kitchen, tripping over themselves and each other, yawning. Sora couldn't help but chuckle at her amusing group of friends. She carefully took down orders and Miyako helped her serve plates. Hikari giggled as Miyako put on a fake French accent as she pranced around like a waitress.

Taichi yawned loudly and tried not to let his head drop forward into his breakfast. He felt a hand clamp onto the back of his head and pull it back, and turned his eyes to his blonde best friend, who sat beside him, grinning. He quickly shoved Matt away and they ended up having a shoving contest there at the table, and Takeru yelled at them to cut it out before their breakfast ended up in his.

Jyou and Koushiro shook their heads and tutted at their friends. "I feel sorry for one of them. I can't quite decide which one, though," Jyou pondered. He looked at the redhead beside him, who stared back at the bluenette, and they both cracked up laughing, as if at an inside joke.

Mimi shook her head wonderingly and glanced at Sora, who shrugged and raised her eyebrows. Then, they too began giggling.

"What's the joke and why have I obviously been left out of it?" Daisuke whined. Ken chuckled and patted his friend's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you not to know."

Daisuke sighed tiredly and gulped his breakfast down, Ken watching him in amazement when he licked his lips before his now-empty plate.

"You eat fast."

"I believe it would be stranger if he ate slow," Iori said, grinning. Ken and Iori laughed now, and Daisuke sputtered, looking indignant.

"Now now, everyone, settle down," Sora said in a maternal tone of voice, sitting beside Mimi as Miyako took the seat on the other side of her. "We're all going to choke out here if we continue like this."

This statement was responded to by many wisecracks, rolling of eyes, and laughs. Sora mock-glared at them and then cracked a grin, not able to pretend to be angry with her friends.

They ate the rest of their breakfast as calmly as they could, which had to be, to quote Ken, "the freaking loudest thing I've ever heard."

As soon as the plates had been cleared, Daisuke stated, "So what's the plan for today?"

They all glanced at each other uncertainly; no one had planned anything for the day.

"Let's make this special, since this is our last event for our stay here at this lovely cabin," Mimi said cheerfully.

"Let's have a soccer game!" Daisuke yelled, and Taichi, Sora, and Ken happily agreed. The rest all groaned and shook their heads.

"There's a TV marathon of Friends reruns coming out this afternoon...never mind." Ken hid from all of the strange looks he received.

"How about a karaoke contest?" Matt suggested.

Tai frowned. "But you're the only one that can sing," he stated.

Mimi gave a cry of outrage and Sora and Miyako had to hold her down.

"Um, do you have any suggestions, you four?" Sora quickly asked Jyou, Koushiro, Ken, and Iori.

The four geniuses looked at each other and began talking amongst themselves. After a while, they parted and Jyou stated, "We have come to an agreement that we'd like to drive to the zoo a few miles in town."

"There's a zoo around here?" Daisuke asked.

"I'd think you'd be the first person to know that," Koushiro said, grinning.

Daisuke glared at him and Jyou glared at Daisuke, which brought a glare from Ken, which brought a glare from Koushiro...and so on.

Finally, Miyako spoke between the glares. "Okay then, let's get ready for a day at the zoo!"

The glaring stopped and everyone leapt up to gather whatever they were going to take with them.

~ ~ ~ ~

"Are we ready yet?" Matt called impatiently. It was his turn to drive and he was quite irritated that the sun was so bright and he'd forgotten his sunglasses back at home.

The entire group assembled in front of the car and climbed in, with Daisuke, Ken, Sora, and Mimi in the back seat, Iori, Takeru, Hikari, and Miyako in the very, very back (A/N: What do you call that?), and Tai, Matt, Jyou, Koushiro, and an outspread map in the front seat.

"Okay, so we're gonna want to find the main road and go from there," Tai told Matt. Matt nodded and drove onto the main road, sliding into the right lane and picking up speed to go with the flow of the traffic. "Then?" he asked.

"Um, then you're going to get off on Exit 13."

Matt looked for the sign, spotted it, and took the exit onto the narrower side road, slowing down as the car neared a light. He got a red light and sighed, stopping. "Now what?"

"Now, we drive for another four miles or so and look for the sign that says, 'Gladys Porter Zoo.'"

"Right."

The light went green and Matt sped off, on the lookout for the sign.

"Are we almost there?" Daisuke called from the back.

"Yeah, just hold on," Tai called back.

"There. There's the sign," Koushiro said, pointing ahead. Matt nodded to show he'd seen it and turned onto the road leading to the zoo.

"Oh, yippee! The zoo, we're going to the zoo!" Miyako squealed.

Hikari giggled and Takeru groaned, rolling his eyes.

"Shut up already," he muttered.

Hikari and Miyako both glared at him, and Iori giggled.

"Okay everybody, get off," Matt called as he turned the engine off and opened his door. They followed his example and soon were all walking in a big bunch towards the entrance of the zoo.

Miyako and Hikari pointed at the signs around the entrance as Sora and Mimi paid entrance for everyone. Iori leant up to whisper something into Takeru's ear, and Takeru laughed.

The gate opened and they all rushed inside, assembling in the front of the large sign with a bear on it that said, 'Gladys Porter Zoo.'

"Okay, how are we going to do this? Split up or all together?" Tai asked.

"Let's split up, so we can all have more chances at seeing everything. This is a huge zoo," Ken said hopefully.

"Yeah," Jyou agreed quickly, with more agreements muttered here and there.

"Alright, everyone split up into groups of two!" Tai said happily.

"Groups of two? Wonder why," Mimi whispered to Sora, who giggled. This was all obviously a plot to get all of the certain future couples together.

"After we split up we'll wander the park for," Matt checked his watch, "a few hours. We'll meet back here at the entrance around six. Okay?"

They all voiced agreement and broke up into their pairs.

A/N: Forgive me for the somewhat shortness of this chapter, but I've decided to have the zoo-visit as a multi-chapter event. I've grown somewhat tired of thinking up ideas for every single day of the two-week-visit, so let's just say this is the last thing they're going to do before picking up and heading home. R/R please!
