Taichi stood. "Are we going or not?"

Ken looked up. "No, really, I'm okay!" Ken smiled at Daisuke, "But I can tell you, that was the funniest head rush I've ever had!" Ken hiccuped. "Oh, God," he protested. "Did I just do that?" Daisuke giggled and helped Ken off the ground. Everyone got up and started to walk through the forest.

About ten minutes later they were almost at the place where they'd seen the flower. Ken kept tripping and Daisuke finally got fed up. He took Ken's hand and walked a little ways ahead of him so that he wouldn't fall again. By another five minutes they had all forgotten what they were looking for and were just exploring.

Daisuke sat Ken down on a log as the rest of them stopped for a game of thumb wars on the soft moss. Daisuke wandered off about twenty feet from Ken who was watching the others with a smile. Daisuke looked around and spotted a cliff about ten feet away from him. He got on his hands and knees and looked over the edge. What he saw was a deep lake thirty-eight feet down. All Daisuke could see of the cliff was the little bit that he was kneeling on which meant he was probably on an overhang. Daisuke remembered how easily an overhang could collapse with weight, and, as if on cue, the dirt crumbled beneath him. He stifled a scream as he lunged for the nearby ground that hadn't fallen yet, gripping it with his fingers. Ken jumped up and ran to help, suddenly becoming very sober.

"DAISUKE!" he yelled as he came closer to the edge.

Daisuke struggled to say his next words because he was so scared but he knew he had to anyway. "Ken! Don't come any closer! It's an overhang! We could both fall!"

Ken looked panicked but lunged forward and grabbed Daisuke's hands despite what Daisuke had said. "I don't care!" he yelled as he pulled Daisuke up with all his might. Daisuke didn't argue back, but was just thankful that Ken was being reckless. With one last hoist, Daisuke was up and Ken collapsed from exhaustion. Daisuke jumped to his feet, grabbing Ken's arms and dragging him away from the crumbling edge. He fell beside Ken. The others raced up to them. They'd seen the whole thing but feared to come near just in case the extra weight sent them over the edge.

"Daisuke!" Koushiro cried. "Are you hurt?"

Daisuke began to answer but was cut off by a sharp shooting pain in one of his ribs. "Ah!" He turned over and held his side. Ken, still panting, leaned over and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Daisuke, what's wrong?" Ken asked. Daisuke cracked an eye open.

"It's…nothing! I…just got slammed into the wall of the cliff when I fell."

"Are you gonna' be all right?" Taichi asked.

Daisuke turned to the group. "Yeah, I'll be okay…"

Ken propped himself up on his elbows. He took in a very large breath and let it out in a very gusty sigh.

"Ken?" Takeru asked putting his hand on Ken's shoulder.

Ken looked up. "Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" Takeru looked worried. Ken nodded.

"Mmm, I was just scared."

Takeru nodded. Ken looked up at the setting sun and frowned at the increasing dark clouds. It was at that moment that they all noticed the dark menacing clouds not so far away.

They all belted out a scream as a huge lighting bolt struck a tree across the lake that lay before them.

"LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Taichi yelled taking control of the group as he usually did in tough situations. Ken jumped to his feet bending over to wrap his slender but strong arm around Daisuke helping him up. Daisuke stood up and with Ken's help was able to walk with minimal pain to his bruised side. The group moved quickly leaving time for Daisuke and Ken to catch up every few minutes.

They finally reached the tent and Ken helped Daisuke sit down as the air around them sped up. Ken reached into his bag and pulled out an ice pack. He bent the package activating the chemicals inside. The ice pack became ice cold within seconds and Ken gave it to Daisuke. Daisuke placed it on his sore spot and almost immediately felt better.

A crack of lighting shot through the sky. Ken jumped, grabbing onto Daisuke's leg. There were few things that could scare Ken, but lighting just happened to be one of the few that could scare him shitless. Daisuke chuckled at his best friend. The thing that made it worse for Ken was Taichi and Takeru loving the lightning storm and that they were getting more and more excited as each second passed.

Koushiro grabbed the pegs and staked the tent to the ground. Takeru set off to put the fire out. He grabbed a big jug of water that had been left for situations such as this. He threw it on the flames and smoke and steam flooded out. Takeru splashed Taichi with the remainder of the water. He just missed him as he jumped away.

"You little shit!" Taichi giggled. He grabbed a laughing Takeru and put him in a headlock. Another clap of lighting ripped them away from one another as they instinctively shrank down a little. Ken was literally hugging Daisuke's leg now.

"Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap!" Ken shouted, squeezing tighter. Everybody laughed at Daisuke's painfilled face as Ken squeezed the hell out of his leg.

One more strike of lightning and they were all bombarded with rain. It washed over everyone like a sheet of water. Koushiro was the first to dive into the tent and the rest followed his example. Once they were all in, they glared at Taichi again, cursing him for bringing the wrong tent. Taichi giggled nervously.

"What? I said I was sorry!"

The rest of the night they all played card games and talked about the girls they liked.
