Author's Note: Sorry that I haven't updated in awhile. Been busy planning for a trip to Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas! Also, this chapter doesn't get to the main part of the story, like the last one. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and for those of you are reading this for the first time, please review! ^_^

A New Kind Of Digivolving-Chapter 2-The Planning

"What are you guys sitting around here for? Go get your stuff!" Matt said to them, a sarcastic smile on his face, "And while you get your stuff, and please do it quietly, I'll go and wake up Joe!" After Matt saw that his new group was packing up their stuff quickly, yet quietly, he smiled to himself.

As he walked over to where Joe was sleeping, he decided that inviting Mimi, T.K., Kari, and Izzy was a very good idea. Luckily, he had already packed up his stuff earlier, about fifteen minutes after his shift had started. He had been very eager to leave, and he still was. He shook Joe softly, yet hard enough to wake him.

"Huh? Wha?" Joe muttered, blinking as he tried to figure what was going on.

"It's time for your shift, Joe" Matt said. Joe nodded his head. He got up and leaned over again to pick up Gomamon, trying not to wake him. He walked over to the spot where Matt had kept watch. Matt had Gabumon move his stuff for him, when Matt had gone over to wake up Joe.

After Matt had confirmed that Joe had not seen Mimi, T.K., Kari, and Izzy, Matt went over to T.K.'s side, quietly telling him to go and hide behind a tree with Patamon. After Matt had told him, he walked over to Kari and told her the exact same thing, except for her to hide with Gatomon. He told Mimi and Izzy the exact same thing, except, of course, telling them to hide with their own digimon. He then went and got his stuff and Gabumon, then headed towards his rebeling friends.

"Where are we going to go, Matt?" Mimi whispered.

"Izzy, which way do you think we should go?" Matt asked, not wanting to make a wrong decision.

"There's a city not to far ahead. It's deserted, but there are a lot of places that we could hide. What do you think, Matt?" Izzy whispered back to the blonde, half expecting him to make a decision without consulting the others.

Matt put a stop to that thinking when he asked, "Do you guys feel up to it?" All of them nodded their heads.

"Hey, Matt? Shouldn't we ask Joe if he wants to come with us?" Kari asked, always the considerate one.

"I asked him earlier today what he would do if someone left Tai's group and gave the others a chance to come with him, and he said that he would stay with Tai. And since Mimi said that Sora is siding with Tai, there's no reason to ask about her," Matt said, hoping that he could protect his friends.

He felt like a leader when Mimi asked HIM where they were going to go. He decided that if he did become the leader of the group, he would protect them.

"We should probably get going. I don't think that Joe's noticed that we're gone," Matt said, watching the others as they nodded their heads in agreement.

Just then, Matt remembered something very important, "Izzy, is there water in that town you told us about?"

Izzy was suprised at this comment. Tai would never have asked a question like that, "I don't know. Let me check on my computer real quick," and with that said, he started typing on his laptop. After about a minute or two, Izzy looked up from his laptop and said, "That city doesn't have ANY water, which is probably why it's deserted. But I did find another town that has everything. Food, water, medicine, even a motel! The only thing is, Machinedramon's base is very near there. We could go to Primary Village, but the only water and food that it has, is that lake that's nearby."

Matt pondered this for a few seconds, then asked, "Where do you guys want to go?"

Gatomon spoke up first, "If we go to Primary Village, I could fish."

Patamon started getting into the swing of things, "I can help carry the fish back!"

Matt smiled. He felt a lot nore welcome without Tai there.

"I can make fishing poles," Kari said, very happy that she could do something to help.

"I can help boil the water, so we won't get sick," Mimi informed with a huge grin on her face.

"I'll help make the fire!" said Gabumon.

"I can gather herbs. I can also find big leaves that we could use as plates!" Palmon spoke, happy to know that she could be of some assistance.

Tentomon was trying to think of something he could do, while Izzy said, "I took a survival class once. I know how to build a fort! I can also give you information on different berries that I'm sure Tentomon will find."

Tentomon brightened at that comment, "Yeah! I can also look for wood!"

Matt looked at the smiling group of kids and digimon, "I'll help you with that, Tentomon. I can also help cook the fish that Gatomon is sure to catch! So, what are we waiting for? Lets get out of here before Tai finds us and starts to act like he's all that." So they were on their way to Primary Village, talking along the way.

To Be Continued...
I know that this didn't have much action/adventure/romance in it, but that will come in later chapters. I'll get the next chapter up after I get 5 more reviews. I need the motivation. Please Review!
