Shadow-Assassin: *Sits on a large rock and waits for requests and money.* Anyone?

Ianumon: I've got a request!

Shadow-Assassin: Ok! Let it rip!

Ianumon: How about you never dance again?!

Shadow-Assassin: I like dancing! *Sobs* But I really need the money... ok no more dancing...

Ianumon: *Hands Shadow $5*

Shadow-Assassin: YAY!!! My first $5!!!

Jessamon: Request two! No more sugar for you!

Shadow-Assassin: WHAT?! NOOOOO! I will not! *Crosses arms and looks away*

Jessamon: Looks like the Virus digimon are going to revolt... What's that Flame Leighomon is holding? Is that a... Sladge Hammer I see? *Smirks*

Jessamon: I knew you'd come to your senses. *Hands her the five dollars and walks off*

Shadow-Assassin: Why does this $5 bill say " Shadow-Assassin does not own digimon?"

Shadow-Assassin: Oh... ok

Chapter 12: Circus Act

Kimamon

                I awoke to the gentle smile of the sun coming through the trees. I got up and began to pack some mushrooms I found and let the others sleep. I finnished packing and walked over to the river and took a sip of water. We would need all the water we could before we headed out. It would be a long hot day.

                When I finnished a went and nudged Ianumon, "Wake up. It's mornin."

                "I'm up." He said as he got up and looked around.

                "help me wake the others." I said as I nudged Jessamon.

                "Huh?" She asked sleepily.

                "Wake up you." I said as she opened her eye and yawned.

                "Jayjmon! Come on! Wakey, Wakey!" Ianumon said as he nudged Jayjmon. Jayjmon just turned and went back to sleep.

                I laughed. He really wasn't a morning person. I walked up to Mattamon and nudged him up and he smiled.

                "JAYJMON!!" Jessamon shouted.

                "AH! Hey!" He shouted as he jumped up.

                We all laughed and grabed for berries for breakfast. We all drank as much water as our stomachs could hold and headed off towards the desert.

Ianumon

                We left our camping spot and headed towards the desert. We would be wide open for attack but I didn't think that anything would attack in a place like that.

                After about an hour of walking we reached the edge of the swamplands and the desert. We all looked out at the desert with dread.

                "I hate heat. It messes my beautiful fur." Jessamon complained.

                I smiled and giggled, "Don't worry. I don't think it'll do too much damage and you'd look beautiful anyway."

                Kimamon roled her eyes and Jayjmon giggled. Jessamon smiled and kissed me on the cheek and we walked on into the desert.

                As we walked on I kept getting the feeling like we where being watched. I shrugged it away and smiled at the others.

                The sun beat down on us as we walked and our water was getting low. We where all hot and thirsty but we knew we had to ration our water.

                "Sand Blaster!" A voice came and suddenly a wave of sand covered us.

                I poked my head from out of the sand as did the others. What we saw was a great big dragon digimon that looked as if he was made of sand.

                "The Names Sandramon," He laughed as he stepped on my head.

                "Ah! Get off elephant!" I shouted. the others stiffled laughs.

                "Hey! That was uncalled for!" He said indignantly, "And for that i'm afrain i'll have ta kill ya'll."

                Suddenly we heard the sound of hooves on sand and what looked like a fuzzy tv picture of a cart or something. I sighed thinking it was a marage.

                "Storm Hoove!" Came a voice from the marage and Sandramon went flying.

                From the cart came six digimon. There was also one that was driving but he didn't move. The Unimon who had been pulling the cart had used one of their attacks to stop Sandramon.

                A yellow and orange digimon camp and helped me out of the sand while the other's faught.

                "Magic Spray!" Called out a orange, blue, red and yellow digimon as she shot out an aray of colours from her finger tips. The colours seemed to blind Sandramon but he continued to swipe at the air.

                "Wing Claw!" Shouted a blue digimon with wings as he slashed at Sandramon.

                "Sand Blaster!" Sandramon shouted covering the blue digimon in sand.

                "Bubble Blast!" Shouted a small green digimon as he spit out a large bubble and it exploded in Sandramon's face.

                "Ninja Kick!" Shouted a blue cat like digimon as he kicked Sandramon in the gut.

                "Cactus Scratch!" He shouted as he clawed the cat digimon.

                "Digi Canonball!" Shouted another digimon that looked similar to us. She was blueish purple with purple spots and light blue hair. Her attack sent Sandramon flying but he wasn't about to stop now.

                "Sand Blaster!" He shouted once more.

                The digimon who'd helped me stepped up, "Ribbon Bond!" She shouted as ribbons appeared in her hands and she wraped Sandramon up in them.

                "AGH! Let me out of this!" He said squirming.

                "Ha! Ya right!" Said the digimon who looked like us.

                "What ya gonna do about it? Your a little wraped up at the moment." Laughed the yellow digimon.

                They helped the others out of the sand and began to introduce themselves.

                "I'm Neepimon." Said the yellow digimon who'd helped me.

                "I'm Pantarumon." Said the cat digimon passing me his hand to shake.

                "The names Jeerimon!" Laughed the high flying blue digimon.

                "I am Haramon." Said the orange, red, blue and yellow digimon with a graceful nod.

                "I'm Faurumon." Smiled the little green digimon.

                "And I'm Saramon." Said the digimon that looked like us.

                "Thank you very much for saving us." Said Kimamon smiling.

                "You saved our live!" Jessamon sqeeled as she hugged them.

                We introduces ourselves to them and they invited us to join them on the trip across the desert. We thanked them and accepted. They also introduced their ring leader, Giovanomon.

                "So what exactly do you do?" Asked Kimamon as she looked around at all the odd equipment.

                "We're circus performers and this is our traveling circus." Jeerimon smiled proudly.

                "Wow!" Jayjmon said in awe, "I've always loved the circus."

                "Then why don't you all join us for our performence tonight in the village at the edge of the desert?" Saramon asked.

                "We should really be..." Kimamon started.

                "We'd love to." I interrupted. I had the feeling that a night of fun would be good for us. We needed something to liven our spirits and relax us.

Jayjmon

                I smiled at the thought. I'd always loved the circus, though I always snuck in and had to hide half the time. Kimamon wasn't impressed but I had the feeling she would enjoy herself.

                I'd always wanted to run away and join the circus, but now those dreams had changed. Now all I really wanted was to help my new friends on their quest and possibly make up for all the wrong things I'd done in my life.

                The circus digimon invited us to ride in their cart and gave us food and water. We thanked them happily and replenished ourselves. The walk had taken allot out of us.

                Soon enough we'd reached the city and we all piled out of the cart. I looked around and smiled. It wasn't a big village, but it sure was beautiful. Flower gardens adorned every hut and a fountain, shaped as a dragon, was set in the middle of the town. There where digimon of all shaped and sized in this small village. The whole place was mesmerizing.

                We helped the circus digimon set up near the edge of town in a grassy field. A large ten now stood there like a small mountain. Digimon from the town gathered as the circus opened to the public.

                Our group got free admision and front row seats. I smiled at my comrades and looked on as Neepimon entered the ring with an introduction from Giovanimon. She climed up to the top of the tipe rope and slowly stepped onto it. She gently treaded the slim rope and stopped in the center smiling at the crowd below her. Then she jumped high into the air and gasps where heard from everywhere. Then as easily as she had jumped she landed once more gently onto the tipe rope as if she'd never left it. Everyone cheared her as she climbed down from the tipe rope and bowed to the public.

                "WOW! That was sooo cool!" I stated happily.

                "Ya! She rocks!" Jessamon giggled.

                The others agreed and we watched as the other digimon came out to do their acts. Jeerimon and Faurumon did a clown act. Pantarumon did an acrobatic act. Then Haramon came out and did a magic trick.

                Haramon was amasing. She had some kind of magic ball that could change into various things and floated by her side. She changed it into a pigeon and then into a small Tsunomon then back again. Everyone was amaised at her magic tricks and applouded her loudly.

                Next up was Saramon. We looked on as she stepped into the ring. She looked very pretty and I felt my face heat up as I looked at her slender figure. She stepped onto a small stage and looked over the croud. Her yellow eyes seemed to glow gently like tiny suns. 

                "Hipnosis Beam." She wispered softly as her eyes got brighter.

                Then everything seemed to go black...
