Camping With The Digimon

Disclaimer: You already know it. Toei owns Digimon.

Author's Note: Two or three more chapters to go. This is the longest one so far except "The Spring Break Bash" story. Recommend you read that one for more laughs if you like this one. I usually try to make them 3 chapters. Guess I got overboard. Oh yeah, thank you for the reviews. ^_^ Forgot to mention that in the last one. : P Sorry!! Please forgive me . . .

Summary: A nice and relaxing camping trip. Gathered around the campfire, listening to ghost stories, star gazing, and then sleeping with a bear next to you in the tent. Aaaaaaagggghhhhh!!! Another mischief of brought from the Digimon.

Chapter Four: The Joy of Camping on a Full Moon Night

"Hey, can we slow down? Starting to get tire back here," J.P. whined as he trek up a hill.

The marooned and abandoned Digidestines and Tamers were stranded in the forest after the bus had exploded, looking for civilization somewhere else to get help. They've been hiking their way through this place for already an hour or two. Only the full shining moon lit their way through this treacherous hike. Now they were complaining how tired and hungry they were.

"Fine we'll set up camp here for the night," Takuya replied.

Anybody here know how to make a fire?" asked Yolei.

"The survival kit should have a fire starter," Koji remembered, as he dug through the backpack to retrieve it. He opened the survival kit but couldn't find a fire starter. "Funny, there isn't a fire starter in here except this book."

Cody took the book from Koji and looked through it. "It's a Survival Skill booklet. Says here, if you want to start a fire, build a fire pit with rocks to barricade it. Gather some firewood and put it into the pit. Then get either two sticks or two rocks and rub them together to cause a fire from the friction of these two items. Guess the Survival Kit was too cheap to actually put in a fire starting kit for us."

"Great . . . Just great . . ." Rika complained. "Who here knows how to make a fire?"

Davis raised his hand.

"Besides Davis. I've see you lit a barbecue pit once and it exploded like an inferno," Rika reminded.

"So? I don't have a bunch of lighter fluids with me at the moment so it won't happen again," Davis mentioned. "Plus I don't have a whole gas tank with me."

"Ugh." Rika gave her annoyed look. That was one terrible day she wished to never experience again.

"Hey Takuya, don't you know how to make one?" Tommy asked. "You did it on the TV show."

"Yes, but that was fake and it blew out," Takuya remembered. "Koji, you know how to do it."

"Fine, get me some sticks, firewood, and stones," Koji ordered. "I have to carry this gurney, y'know?"

"Okay, okay. Takato, you get the sticks and stones," Takuya ordered.

"Why me? I can't go off by myself," said Takato. "What if there's wolves, or bears, or wild boars, or even ravens?"

"Ravens?" Ken asked.

"Ever read that Edgar Allen Poe book with the raven in it that always screech 'Never more! Never more' ?!" Takato reminded. "It was scary!"

"Fine, big baby. I'll go," Kazu sighed, as he grabbed Kenta by the collar and dragged him. "You too, Kenta."

"But I have to carry the gurney too!" Kenta shouted as he was taken away, as Henry quickly ran over to replace the support.

"I'll follow too!" Davis volunteered.

"Great, 3 Stooges and Goggle-Head #2 left," Rika sighed.

"How are Kari and Zoe anyway?" Yolei checked.

"Fine for now," Kouichi replied, as they placed the gurney down.

Kari and Zoe still haven't awakened yet since the bus crashed. They were both in stable and good condition with just minor wounds but being unconscious for this long doesn't seem right. They were like two deep in sleep angels that will never awake. T.K. and J.P. sat by them and watch.

"Oh, Kari . . ." T.K. sighed.

"Oh, Zoe . . ." J.P. mourned.

"Oh, gag me . . . !!" Rika sneered, feeling sick at the moment from the mushy feelings around her. "I should've gone with the 3 Stooges and Goggle- Head #2 to gather the firewood."

Henry and Suzie stood afar as Henry took a drink from a water canteen.

"Will they ever awake, Henry?" Suzie asked her big brother.

Henry shook his head and answered, "Dunno," as he gulped down his canteen.

"How come?" she asked.

"They're just . . . sleeping. Like a very deep sleep," Henry replied, not wanting to dwell on the matter that they might be near death or so. Slipping into a coma or worse is a possibility to the two unconscious girls at this point now. Death may be another too. A child this young like Suzie doesn't need to learn this so early.

Suzie sighed and looked back at the two girls. "It's so sad. Kari reminds me Sleeping Beauty and Zoe reminds me of Snow White. They both go into a deep sleep and everyone is so sad. Later prince charming comes and wake them with a true love's first kiss, right Henry?"

"True love's first kiss?" Henry pondered as he took another gulp of water. Suddenly it hit him in the head and he realized what they could do. With the shock of this discovery, Henry had shot the water out of his mouth and on to Suzie. "Hey you guys!! Guys!! I know a way to wake them up!"

Suzie stood there soaked and wet from her brother.

"Heeeeeeeennnnnrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!" Suzie cried. "I'm wet!!"

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" Henry turned around as he ran to the others.

"What are you so excited about that made you spew out water like a cannon on your sister?" asked Ryo.

"I just got an idea to wake Kari and Zoe up!" Henry announced.

"Yeah, we can try to shake them by the shoulders to see if they'll wake up," Takuya suggested.

Koji hit him on the head with his fist. "You idiot! You wanna give them some sort of neck trauma?!"

"Well at least I got an idea!" Takuya replied.

"Oh, yeah?!"

"Guys! Guys! It's not like that," Henry cleared.

"Than what is it?" Tommy wondered.

"You guys heard of the story Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, right?" Henry asked.

"Uh, Sleeping Beauty was about a beast and Snow White was about a rabbit sneaking into a farmer's garden, right?" Takuya thought.

"No, you idiot! That's Beauty & the Beast and that's Peter Rabbit!" Koji corrected.

"Well, sorry, but I always get the story mixed up," Takuya replied. "So what were we talking about? The story of Aladdin and Lady & the Tramp?"

Henry chose to ignore that part. "Anyway, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White both have one thing in common," Henry hinted.

"They're both mushy and romantic?" said Rika.

"They both have a prince?" said Cody.

"They both have an ugly and evil sorceress lady?" said Tommy.

"They're both very confusing stories?" said Takuya. "We're still talking about Beauty & the Beast and Peter Rabbit, right?"

"Close but no, Takuya, they're not confusing and for the last time, it's Sleeping Beauty and Snow White," Henry answered. "The point is that the princesses are both in a deep sleep until true love's kiss."

" . . . . . . . . . . . And?" Rika questioned.

"Well, what I'm saying is that if one of us boys kiss Kari or Zoe, they might wake up," said Henry. "True love's first kiss? They might wake up."

They were all dead silent. Why didn't they think of this before? It was brilliant!

Takuya was the first one who couldn't hold it in any longer and hollered out laughing with the rest of the gang who followed laughing after him like a pack of hyenas. Yeah, it was brilliantly stupid . . .

"So then what, Henry? You want us to come running in as a shining knight on his noble white steed to swoop our fair lady and run off into a mystical castle to live happily ever after?!" Ryo joked, laughing wildly like the others.

Suzie came walking next to his big brother, still soaking wet. "See, Henry? If I told it, they would've thought I was cute to think of something like that but if you told it, then it would've sounded stupid and crazy from an old big brother like you."

Henry sighed. 'Seriously, I should've kept my mouth shut like most of the time in the TV series . . .' Henry thought silently. 'Oh well, I could try throwing myself over a cliff if this keeps happening.'

"So who's gonna be the fair young prince? J.P. for Zoe?! Bwahahahahahaha!!" Tommy giggled.

"Hey, I actually vote for that plan," said J.P.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

An extensive and eye watching battle had broken out between the two Patamons suddenly as they took an offensive stand, exchanging looks in their now unmerciful eyes. Waiting until the other one flinch and go down in one call.

" . . . "

" . . . "

" . . . "

" . . . "

" . . . "

" . . . "

" . . . "

" . . . "

Nehmon walked into the tent to notice the two Patamons in a stare down. "Oh, it's a staring contest!!"

"Haha, you blinked!" Patamon cheered.

Patamon_F pouted. "Phooey. And I really wanted to sleep on that side of the tent."

"Okay, get to bed! Get to bed!" Bokomon ordered.

Well it was an 'eye watching' battle with the unmerciful eyes of Patamons . . . ; ) Hehehehehe . . . Okay next scene.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

"Guilmon!! Guilmon!! Guilmon!! Guuuuuiiiiiiiiillllllmmmoooooooonnnn!!!!!"

Guilmon popped his out of the tent. "What?!"

Calumon, now in the burlap sack, up in the tree, said, "I can't breath up here. Can you poke me some air holes, please?"

Guilmon gave him a dumb look. "You already got plenty of air holes!! It's a burlap sack!!"

"Pwetty pwease . . . ?!?!?!" Calumon asked in a sincere voice.

"No! You ate my Guilmon Breads and this is your punishment!" Guilmon stated clearly. "I'm grounding you!"

"Actually, he's way up in the air and in a tree," Veemon corrected. "How are you gonna ground him?"

Suddenly Calumon started choking. "*gasp* Gah! Air! I need air . . . Guilmon . . . Air, I need air . . . !!!"

Guilmon gave him a second dumb look. "Be happy I didn't put you into a garbage bag . . ." Guilmon then withdrew his head back into the tent.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

"All right, g'night, Hawkmon," said Terriermon, now sleeping in another spot of the tent that isn't wet.

"G'night, Terriermon," replied Hawkmon, settling into his nest/bed. "G'night, Wormmon."

"G'night, Terriermon. G'night, Hawkmon," Wormmon sighed, stifling a yawn. "G'night, MarineAngemon."

"G'night, Terriermon. G'night, Hawkmon. G'night, Wormmon," yawned MarineAngemon, being the last one to say good night to everyone.

Sleeping and snoring filled the air of the tent as they all slept. MarineAngemon was the only one not asleep.

" . . . Isn't anybody gonna say good night to me?" asked MarineAngemon.

All three Digimon said simultaneously with a yawn, "Good night, MarineAngemon."

"Much better," MarineAngemon sighed, now going to sleep. " . . . Who's gonna tuck me into bed?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

All three female Digimon of the group slept with a wonderful dream that they all liked. Gatomon dreamt of a field of catnip that was all hers. Lopmon dreamt that Suzie was gone for the day and she didn't have to be Miss Pwetty Pants. Renamon's dream was the most intriguing one of all.

Renamon dreamt that she poured grease, pepper, salt, chives, and onions all over Terriermon, Veemon, and Beelzemon and started chasing them with a frying pan, occasionally being able to smack them on the head once or twice when they start to lag behind. I guess she has a couple of strange issues with the three of those mons . . .

Anyway, speaking of Beelzemon . . .

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

Cyberdramon rested his head and sighed. He couldn't sleep, even though he is in the nice and comfortable tent (unlike Guardromon out there), but something was bothering him. Not because Ryo and the others haven't come yet, or that they could've gotten stranded out there on the road, or that their bus could've broken down in the middle of the night where werewolves can reach to them and eat them but one particular thing bothered him. Especially his head that started to feel sore and including his neck.

Cyberdramon gave an irritated sigh, "Beelzemon . . . "

"No," he quickly answered.

"Come on!" Cyberdramon nudged.

"No!" Beelzemon replied.

"You gotta share!" Cyberdramon growled.

"Since when was the last time you shared anything?!" said Beelzemon, turning over to face him. "I got these pillows first so ha!"

"You got three freakin' pillows under your head and I have none! Not even Guardromon out there has one!!" Cyberdramon stated.

"Sure, just because I'm a robot doesn't mean I have feelings too . . ." said Guardromon in a flat tone. "I wanted a pillow too . . . For my can- can!"

"You see?" Cybedramon stated.

"Well finders keeper and losers weeper! I got these three pillows first so there! Ha! End of story! Tough luck, toots!!" Beelzemon cleared, turning back to face the wall of the tent. "Baby sniffling dragon. Hmph!"

"Pillow hog!" Cyberdramon snorted.

"Ugly!" Beelzemon replied.

"Psychopathic demon!" Cyberdramon snarled.

"Psychotic dragon!" Beelzemon shouted.

"Sociopathic cock!" Cyberdramon snapped.

"Screwballing dragon!"

"Fruitcake eating demon!"

"Bloodlusting freak of nature!"

"Sex neurotic freak f$%&*@!"

"Ooooh . . . That's it!! No one cusses or swears at Beelzemon!! You ninny loon of a *&%$# dragon!!"

"You lamebrain, scatter headed, sex thinking, dysfunctional, dumdum of a blue ass ape!!"

"You raving, raging, craving, flesh eating, blood sucking, ding-a-ling of a whacked up job dragon!"

"You moonstruck, loose loon of a baboon, crack and fruit suckin', virgin sleeping, demon of an inferno hell!!"

"Oh, playing rhymes with me, eh?! Well, you foolish, bullish, bull of a shit eating, butt picking dragon!!"

"You demented freak!! Damn you Beelzemon!! Die you Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic cockamamie foolhardy dip whip!!" Cyberdramon roared.

"Agh! Shut up! Shut up!! Shut up!!! You know I have a phobia for long words, remember??!!" Beelzemon shouted, covering his ears with his pillows.

Suddenly Cyberdramon got an idea. "Deoxyribonucleic Acid!!!"

"Agh!!" Beelzemon screamed.

"Supercalifradulousanexpialidocious!!"

"Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!!!"

"Ribonucleic Acid!!"

"My doctor says be careful with your words around me!! Remember?!?!" Beelzemon squirmed, curling into a fettle position. "I have sensitive ears!!"

"How the heck do you know all of these words?" Guardromon asked.

"Read it out of a medical book," Cyberdramon replied.

"Even that supercali something, something, XP, something, docious word?" Guardromon said.

"That, I got out of a Disney movie," Cyberdramon remembered. "Hehe, Disney is actually good for something."

Suddenly Beelzemon, out of nowhere, leapt at Cyberdramon and wrestled him into submission. "Say uncle you bloody dragon!!"

"Never!!!"

Cyberdramon bit through Beelzemon's boot and then started snapping at his tail. "How you like me now!!"

They broke a part from each other and faced off in a pouncing stance.

"I'll shoot your ass off with my double barrel gun!!" Beelzemon threatened. "Wait a- Shit! I don't have them!!! Stupid damn mother bear!! I'll kill her!! The next time I see her, I'll kill her in cold blood with my bare hands on the spot!!"

"You can't even kill anything without your guns," Cybedramon stated. "Even when you tried to kill that fly in your room, I gave you a flyswatter but you took out your barrel guns and started shooting everywhere!"

"Wanna bet?!?! I can, too, kill someone with my own hands!! LIKE YOU!!! Heeya!!" Beelzemon leapt and grabbed him at the waist as he punched the dragon in the face over and over again, left and right. "How do you like them apples?!"

Guardromon just watched afar from outside through the opened tent. "To believe, this all started because of a pillow."

Guardromon reached in and grabbed a pillow without Beelzemon seeing it to put under his 'can-can'. "Ah, much better. Don't have to sit in the dirt anymore. G'night."

He then shut off his programming and rested.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

"Jeez, this is tiring!" Kazu moaned as he picked up some firewood. "Why the hell did I even go with you, Takato?"

"Because I'm very convincing?" said Takato, finding a good rock to make a fire in the moonlight. "Sheesh, you expect to find a couple of rocks around this forest but, no, you can't find any."

"Well there's plenty of sticks. Lots and lots of sticks!" said Davis from a afar. "I never knew they can be so fascinating.

"The fresh air of the forest is getting to your head," Takato realized.

"Good thing we only need sticks and stones," Kazu sighed, finding his last firewood. "Okay, I'm done here."

"Yeah us too," said Takato, with Davis behind him, as Goggle-Head #2 was examining a particular stick. "Where's Kenta?"

"Guys . . . !!!" Kenta shouted from somewhere, in a worried tone.

"Something is buggin' Kenta again," Kazu sighed. "Man, first it's that bug on the tree and now what?" Kazu started to follow after Kenta's voice. "I'm coming, chumley."

"Hey, don't leave us behind!!" shouted Davis, followed by Takato.

They followed Kazu through the forest as clouds above them started to form and started to haze out the moonlight. Later they found Kenta with his back to them, but he looked like he was staring down at something else on the ground.

"What's the matter, Kenta? See a bug on the ground that you want me to smush for you?" asked Kazu.

Kenta replied, "Look."

"Look what? All I see are piles of rocks and a pile of stick," Kazu noticed. "Hey, you can get some of the stones from these piles and use them to make the fire. Great! Now let's get back to the others."

There were exactly four neatly piled up rocks forming a sort of circle closely together around the pile of sticks that just happened to be in the shape of a human.

"Well, what do you know? Those pile of sticks actually look like a human stick figure," Kazu laughed.

"Don't you get it?! Haven't you seen this before?!" Kenta shouted.

"Seen what?" asked Kazu.

"This is almost exactly like that American movie about that legend in Maryland!! You know, that Blair Witch Project movie!! Well except there were three piles, but, oh well!! We're all gonna die!!" Kenta answered in a feverishly scared tone as if he wanted to melt on the spot and run around witless.

"Blair Witch Project?!?!" Takato and Davis shrieked, shaking like a bunch of Mexican maracas and hugging each other.

"Get off of me, Davis!" Takato said first, pushing Davis away.

"Phhht!" Kazu snorted, ignoring the scared boys. "It's a legend and it's in America. This is in the middle of nowhere of Tokyo, Japan. What do you think? The only thing we got to be afraid and freaked out about are bears and wolves wantin' to chew on our bones. Sheesh, you've been watching too many foreign movies."

"No I haven't!!" said Kenta, now shaking in the knees.

"Yes you have so pick up two of those rocks and let us get back to the others," said Kazu. "When we get back home, I'm gonna put you back into watching good ol' fashion Japanese movies like Godzilla and samurai movies."

"I am NOT picking up 'these' particular rocks!!" Kenta stated, now running behind the other two scaredy cats. "The Blair Witch is said to eat wandering people in the forest whoever comes and disturb her sanctuary!!"

"Do I have to do everything myself? Sheesh!" Kazu then bent down and picked up two of the rocks from the pile but suddenly it knocked over and collapsed. "Oops."

Suddenly a high-pitch and horrible cackling of some kind was sounded out through the forest.

0_0!!!;;; "Eeep!!!" The three boys were in shock and feeling a deep and strong urge to all run simultaneously back to the group. Suddenly it did happen but not simultaneously.

"Every girly man for himself!!!" Davis proclaimed as he turned around and made a rush.

"Oh no you don't!! You're not leaving me behind!!" Takato shouted afterwards, grabbing on to Davis' jacket and letting him be dragged along.

"Wait for me!!" Kenta screamed, as he leapt and caught Takato by the back of his leg and now was, too, dragged by Davis in the lead.

Soon in less than ten seconds they were gone with only a trail of leaves rustled behind them.

"What the? Guys, it's just a pile of rocks," Kazu replied. "Sheesh, I guess I'm the brave one of this group of chicken musketeers. What the . . . Ewwww, is this slime?"

Kazu tried to wipe the slime off his fingers when he suddenly felt a sharp tap behind him on the shoulders. "Now what?"

A hairy old lady with a hunchback was behind Kazu and looked at him. She had long nails, black hair all over her body (including around the face), large yellow eyes peeping through her curtains of hair, and a cauldron in her hand. "Hello, young lad. May I have my two rocks back? I need it to prepare a grand feast. Would you like to join in?"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0_0!!!;;; . . . .

Kazu suddenly felt all the colors in his face disappeared and his spine wanting to cease up with a deep tingling chill of fear like a cat clawing into his nerves as he stood there in front of what may be the 'Blair' witch . . .

All the way, fifty or seventy yards away where Davis, Takato, and Kenta are now, they could hear the blood-curdling, fear stricken, 'nobody-can-help- you-now', scream that defined someone was gonna die tonight and will no longer walk among this Earth . . .

"Did you hear that?! The witch got to Kazu!!" Kenta cried.

"Mush, Davis! Mush! Mush! Mush!!" Takato ordered, yanking Davis at the back of the jacket harder.

"I'm no sled dog!!" Davis shouted from the front with the two of them dragging behind him as he ran faster than the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. "For Gawd sake, let go of my jacket!! You're stretching the material!! You're slowing me down!!"

"Well then, mush!! Mush!! Mush!! Mush!! Mush you son of a mutt!! Move those legs and run!!!" Takato shouted.

Kazu jumped nearly five feet in the air, dropped the two rocks to the old lady, and ran like the living daylights out of him to get as far as possible from this lady.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"

Less than five seconds, he was gone. Must be a world record to dash over fifty yards less than in five seconds. But it might be cheating since he had a push start . . .

The old hairy lady picked up the two rocks and threw it back on the pile. "Strange young lad. Well, at least the lad returned my two stones. I needed them. Tis a shame he can't stay though. It would've been a grand feast with a boy his size like him."

She had piled back up the rocks and grabbed two of the smallest rocks from the four piles.

She pulled her cauldron out and put it over the pile of sticks with the four rock piles underneath them as supports and lit a fire under the cauldron. She then picked up the two rocks and threw them into the cauldron and along with a bucket of water she poured in. She then threw herbs into the pot and mixed them with a wooden spoon.

"Well, I guess I'll just have Stone Soup for dinner by me old self. Ehehehehehehehehehehehehehe . . ." she cackled.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~

"Did you guys hear someone screaming out there?" asked Tommy.

"It's probably the 3 Stooges and Goggle-head #2," answered Rika. "Davis must've dropped a rock on Kazu's foot or something."

"Okay, the only way I can think of to awaken them is if one of us boys kiss Zoe and Kari," said Henry.

"Henry, give it up, will ya?" said Rika.

"No, I'm serious! I really mean it!" Henry replied. "We got to wake them up soon no matter what. If we don't now, then what if they slip into a coma or something? Or worse?!"

"Fine, we'll try it your way," Koji sighed, taking charge now. "Takuya, you get Zoe. T.K., you get Kari."

"Me?! Why not you?!" Takuya asked, directed to Koji. "There's plenty of written fanfictions of you and Zoe together out there! I know those fans would REALLY love it!!"

"Well whoopie-doo, same to you too! And I think there's one or two stories with my brother, Kouichi and Zoe," said Koji, turning it back on him. "So kiss Zoe and she'll probably wake up."

"Why won't you kiss her?!" Takuya asked.

Koji thought hard of a good answer from his experience with Zoe once when they were on a date. " . . . She bites."

"Ohhh, yeah, riiiiiiight . . ." Takuya said in a sarcastic and sly way. "Her 'bark' is worse than her 'bite'. Hehehe . . . Ruff! Ruff! Bark! Bark! Bow-Wow! Bow-Wow! Bow-Wow! Aaaaawwhhrrooooooooooooooooo!!! Bwahahahahaha!!" Takuya broke out in laughter from his imitation of 'Zoe'.

"Remember, Kazu owes Kenta ten yen because Takuya barked like a dog and howled like a dog," Yolei reminded Rika.

"Nah, it's five yen. Takuya barked like a dog but howled like a monkey," Rika corrected.

"Hmmm, yeah I guess it was a monkey howl."

Koji metally sighed, '*sigh* I'll be in deep with Zoe if she heard what I said . . . Sorry.'

"Will you cut it out?! You'll lure the animals here and we don't even have any weapons to protect us!" Kouichi stopped Takuya.

"Don't worry, with Zoe, who's the animal?! Hahahaha!!!" Takuya lolled in laughter of his own joke.

Koji grabbed him by the neck and pulled him into a straight sitting position. "Sit up right and stop bad-mouthing Zoe! Now why won't you kiss her?"

"I hardly know her," Takuya simply replied.

"Hardly? You told me you had a dream of her with your head on her lap after the defeat of Cherubimon!"

"It was a dream! And dreams mean nothing. Besides, there's a different meaning to it in Japanese if a guy wakes up to find his head lying in a girl's lap than in the America version. Phhht!! Perverted minded Americans. Thinking EVERYTHING relates to sex and-!!"

"Hey, don't bad-mouth the Americans, okay?!" Koji scolded, slapping him in the back of the head. "They actually have good TV shows."

Takuya slapped back.

Koji did too.

Then Takuya.

And now Koji.

Takuya.

Koji.

Takuya.

Koji.

Suddenly the both of them burst into a brawl of hands slapping each other, here and there on the head. Oooh!!! Cat fight! Cat fight! (A/N: So what? Okay, the term 'cat fight' may be used only for girls when they fight each other with hands and nails but hey, these two boys can also be in touch with their feminine side deep inside . . . ^_^;;; Hehehehe . . .)

"Well, T.K., guess you're gonna be the lucky 'knight in shining armor' to kiss Kari," said Ryo, patting him on the back for good luck. "Right?"

"Uh, yeah, I guess . . ." said T.K., feeling a bit shaky and weak in the legs.

"T.K., if you need tips on kissing, you can ask Yolei," Kouichi joked.

"Exactly! I even won 'Best Kissing Scene" award with Ken," Yolei remembered. "Right, Ken?"

"Please stop spreading that news," said Ken in a shy tone. "It's getting old."

"Awww, come on! Here, T.K., if you need tips, watch me and Ken," said Yolei, grabbing Ken by the shoulders.

Yolei was about to lean in to kiss Ken but he pulled his face back so she wouldn't get a chance. "Yolei, had Davis been handling your water canteen?"

"Naw, Davis is a good little boy," she replied.

"He called you a bear and you practically almost reversed his kneecaps . . ." Ken reminded, seeing that scene replayed in his head.

"And don't forget his butt cap," Cody added, remembering Yolei grabbing Davis and kicking him a couple of times here and there.

"Right, remember, Yolei? Yolei? Uh, Yolei?" asked Ken, as he saw Yolei falling asleep in his arms. "Well that answers it. Davis did spiked her water canteen. *sigh* Just like on New Year's Eve . . ."

Koji just gave a blank look at the group. "Anyway, Takuya, pucker up and kiss Zoe!!" He grabbed Takuya by the neck of his coat and the back of his belt and tossed him right at Zoe. "Away you go!"

"Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"You too, T.K.," Ryo pushed. "Now go and give thy young fair Princess Kari a kiss from her noble shining knight."

"Okay, you can quit the Shakespeare talk, Ryo," said Henry in an annoyed way. "You've already made fun of me with the idea in the beginning."

"Hehe, sorry but I'm just so good at it," Ryo snickered.

"Tommy, Suzie, Cody, you shouldn't watch this because this is big kid's stuff," said J.P.

"No fair!" Suzie and Tommy shouted.

"I'm mature enough," Cody replied.

"That's what they all say . . ." J.P. answered.

Takuya barely stopped himself from landing on Zoe but now was in a push-up position hovering over Zoe. With his arms stretched a part from each other with Zoe's face right under Takuya's, he started to feel that nauseating butter-fly in your stomach feeling now as he started to sweat. "Okay . . . This is awkward but . . . Well . . . Pucker up . . ."

T.K. walked reluctantly over to Kari's motionless body on the ground in the gurney. He kneeled down and looked at the young girl. "Well, not what I expected but . . . Now or never . . ." He slowly leaned his head in as he was almost mouth to mouth with Kari.

Suddenly T.K. was interrupted by Koji's yelling.

"Awww, great! Takuya!!" Koji shouted. "I can't believe you fainted!!"

"And I can't believe he can faint and still be holding in a position like that?" Kouichi added, looking at their leader. "I can't even hold up in a push-up position for that long."

Takuya was still in his push-up position over Zoe and his lips were right above hers but the only thing that kept these two from touching lips with each other was that Takuya had passed out right above her. Koji sigh. So much for their leader. "Great, someone move Takuya over before his arms give away and he collapse on Zoe. And get J.P. to kiss Zoe now."

It seemed Zoe's lips twitch at the mention of that name and hers together with the word 'kiss' in it.

J.P. heard his name. "Me?!?!"

Koji sighed. "Yes you, so go and-"

"Whooooo!!" J.P. ran over and knocked Takuya out of the way to get a clear shot of kissing Zoe.

"This isn't turning out to be much of a Sleeping Beauty or Snow White movie ending, huh?" said Suzie, watching the scene unfold like a bad movie. "They have to switch princes."

"Yeah I know," sighed Tommy.

"Weird, no?" said Cody, watching too.

After that distraction, T.K. concentrated on thinking about kissing Kari. He never done it before but he sort of expected it to come naturally. He closed his eyes like in the movies and went forward. 'Here goes nothing . . .' he thought. 'Hope it's good . . .'

Suddenly two delicate fingers pressed against T.K.'s lips and stopped him from making contact. "You don't have to do it, T.K."

T.K. snapped his eyes opened. "Huh?"

T.K. now stared into the eyes of the awaken Kari. He felt his heart throb and his head spin. Kari was awake! Kari was awake!

"Kari you're awake!" T.K. cheered, hugging her around the neck.

"Of course I am. I was awake the whole entire time," she answered, returning the hug.

"What?" T.K. asked, feeling his mind spin again.

She stifled a giggle. "Back there when the bus crashed, me and Zoe woke up and we decided to pretend to be unconscious and be carried by you guys. We were both kind of tired so we thought we let you boys do the work. Later we made a bet on who we were gonna be kissed by if you guys ever thought about the Sleeping Beauty of Snow White scenario to wake us up. I said T.K. would kiss me and Zoe said Koji would."

"Uh, yeah but . . ." T.K. directed his view over to Zoe with Kari following his gaze.

J.P. was millimeters away from kissing Zoe on the lips just like last time at Takuya's New Year's Eve party when suddenly . . .

"SLAP!!"

"PANK!!"

"THUD!!"

J.P. was thrown back and ended up landing on Tommy, Suzie, and Cody with a red beating hand mark across his face.

"Oh god I can't believe I was this close to kissing you!!!" Zoe shouted with revolt. "Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!"

J.P. lied with a dazed look on his face. "Wow. What a woman. That kiss was great!!"

"We didn't even kiss!!" Zoe screamed with disgust, as she calmed herself. "*sigh* Well, I guess you won that bet, Kari."

"I was just lucky that T.K. would pull through and kiss me," Kari smiled innocently, looking at T.K.

"Hehe, lucky . . ." T.K. looked behind him to see Ryo giving him a thumbs up and mouthing the words, "You did great."

Zoe then turned her gaze among three particular boys . . . "Koji . . . Takuya . . . J.P. . . ." she said with a particular sneer to that first name.

She stood up and walked over to Koji.

"Hehe, hey you're awake Zoe . . ." Koji muttered, feeling uncomfortable with the look in her eye. "Want me to get you some water to drink?"

"I heard the whole thing. Everything you said. Including that I 'bite'. I felt fine with Takuya maybe kissing me but you went and ordered J.P.?! Ugh!!" Zoe shouted.

"Whoa! Wait! Don't do anything rash and try to-!!"

"SLAP!!"

"PANK!!"

"POW!!"

"Whoa, that's something you don't see Koji getting into," Rika laughed.

Kouichi sighed, as he put his hand to his face. "I don't think Koji is exactly my brother because if he was, he would've known how to handle girls better than this . . ."

"J.P. . . ." Tommy choked.

"I don't think he can hear us," Suzie replied. "He's sleeping. Maybe we need princess charming on a white hoarse to kiss him. And maybe one for Takuya too."

"Great . . . My asthma is coming back," said Cody, trying to help stop his asthma attack. "I knew I should've packed an inhaler."

Ken shook his head. "Someone roll J.P. off of the kids, please?"

And they lived happily ever after, the end . . . Oh wait, I forgot that Takato, Kazu, Kenta, and Davis are still lost somewhere out there. And plus Takuya is out cold, Yolei too, J.P. is out in dreamland of Zoe with him, Suzie, Tommy, and Cody are about to be crushed, and Koji is in a world of hurt.

"I said I'm sorry!!!"

"Since when?! In your head?!"

"Yes!! Don't you believe me?!"

"No!!"

All was quiet on the campgrounds of the Digimon. They all slept peacefully without anyone disturbing them, having wonderful dreams of their desire. Eve Calumon who was up in the tree was quiet, even though he was still super hyped on sugar . . . All was quiet as it was, except in one tent. One PARTICULAR tent with TWO PARTICULAR Digimon . . .

"Give me my pillow!!" Cyberdramon demanded, as he tried to claw at Beelzemon.

Beelzemon had his hand on Cyberdramon's head and pushed him afar as Cyberdramon tried his best like a little boy up against a bully to hit Beelzemon. The both of them were pretty beaten up and tired from the fighting and yelling but still continued to fight.

"You can't do nothin' you wimpy dragon," Beelzemon laughed.

Beelzemon then flickered his tail whip and made a strike right into Cyberdramon. Cyberdramon fell back with a thud on his tail and looked like a miserable pathetic dragon sitting on his butt after a fall like that.

"Sheesh, you are a wimp," Beelzemon laughed, as he went back to sleep on his two pillows. "Hey, where's my third?"

Cyberdramon curled up into a ball on his sides as he knew that he'll have to sleep like this if he can't have a pillow. He sighed. Suddenly a malicious idea came to him. He was a good campfire storyteller so he could put it to good use to get to Beelzemon. He chuckled heartily in his throat before he began.

"Hey, Beelzemon."

"Yeah?"

"What's the name of this campsite."

"I dunno. What?"

"Bloodlust."

"What? Yeah, right! Who would name a campsite 'Bloodlust'? Wouldn't attract anyone to come camp here. Well, except us right now because we ARE here . . ."

"The reason why they name it 'Bloodlust' is because a werewolf once exist in this part of Tokyo and killed any victim that exerted fear that camped here," Cyberdramon lied, getting Beelzemon into the mood to be afraid.

"Uh-huh, sure . . ."

"He would first make a flicker at the victim's tent and give a low whistling sound to sooth his victim so it wouldn't notice it's presence."

"Nice story, Cyberdramon, now good night."

'Haha, phase one complete. Phase 2 . . .' Cyberdramon scratched against the wall of the tent, making that raspy sound with the material.

Beelezemon's tail flickered as an indication that he may have heard it.

Cyberdramon then made a whistling sound like the wind between his hands.

Beelzemon scratched behind his head and tried to cover his head with the pillow.

This was the perfect moment and feeling now to frighten the demon. Cyberdramon grinned.

" . . . The blood thirsty werewolf dripped with blood. His claws stained with crimson as his mouth drooled with his victim's blood across his glistening yellow teeth. He snapped at the forest mouse that scurried along the ground with his jaws as blood gushed and flowed through his mouth. He was delighted by the smell of it but he wasn't satisfy by it. He wanted more. And lots of it.

Suddenly he smelled fear nearby. Fear of something strong. Fear that was rarely expressed by a creature as this, making the blood of this soon to be victim even more tantalizing. The werewolf breathed in a strong whiff of that fear as he headed toward a campsite with five tents. He swerved his head towards the one near the forest and scurried over. The fear was coming from in there.

He sneaked his head between the tent's door flap and looked in to see two large creatures sleeping but only one emitting the smell of fear. It was the one on the right of the tent that slept silently, gripping at his two pillows that he greedily held and sweated with desperation as the werewolf walked in and hovered over his newest victim. This was it. His ultimate bloodlust. The ultimate bloodlust to fill this supernatural creature of the darkness hunger. How he wants to savor it.

The werewolf wanted to keep his victim still alive to have the lovely music of his victim's scream of agony filling his ears. He wanted to feel his victim struggled between his teeth of daggers and knives as blood would freely flow and drip like water. He wanted to see his victim's blood stain his fur. He wanted to see his victim's heart pump it's last round of blood to flow across the floor in a pool. But what he really wanted to see now was his victim to face him now in the tent and stare into his yellow moon- like eyes and scream in fear. Fear, was what the werewolf wanted to see. Fear, was all he ever desired to fill his hunger as he opened his jaw of knives and flared his claws of daggers and sang the spine-curdling howl of bloodlust -

AAAAAAAAAAWWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

Beelzemon had enough as he jumped up and slapped Cyberdramon with his pillows. "SHUT UP!!!! SHUT UP!!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR STORYTELLING!!!"

"I'll start howling again if you don't give me this pillow!!" Cyberdramon yelled as he grabbed one of the pillows.

"NEVER!!!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAWWWHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

Nearby the forest that their tent was, something was watching them and crawling towards their campsite to find their own "bloodlust" . . .
