Ann and Felinamon silently traveled through the forests. Felinamon
had used up most of her stamina running, so now she was pacing herself with
a comfortable stroll. Ann didn't mind Felinamon walking either. When the
Champion digimon ran, the bumpy ride sometimes got to be too intense for
her liking.
The two had no particular place to go at the moment, so Ann decided that they should look for food and shelter for the night.
Felinamon slowed down to a stop, and quietly asked Ann to get off her back, as the drained Digimon's body began to shiver from lack of energy. Ann agreed, and as soon as she dismounted, Felinamon de-digivolved into Enzoromon.
"I'm sorry Ann, but I'm just really hungry." Enzoromon said apologetically.
"That's okay, I'm hungry too. We just really need to find a place." Ann trailed off as her nose caught wind of an extremely pleasant smell of food.
"Am I daydreaming, or do I smell food?" Ann tried to find the direction the smell came from.
"I'm not sure, but I smell it too," Enzoromon was now searching for the trail of the scent as well. "The smell is coming from over there!" And Enzoromon bounded after the scent, suddenly renewed with energy from the hopeful promise of food. Ann did her best to keep up with the swift fox-like digimon.
The two passed several trees before the outline of a cabin could be seen not too far away. Smoke was drifting out of the chimney of the cabin. Finally, Ann and Enzoromon reached the clearing that the cabin resided in.
The cabin was very pretty. It looked like it came out of a beautiful landscape painting. A lovely garden bloomed profusely around the cabin's perimeter. A narrow walkway lead to the front door.
"I must be hallucinating from hunger, because this can't be real!" Ann blinked several times, expecting to see the beautiful cabin to disappear at any moment.
"If I'm seeing it too, then this must be one really good hallucination. I'll race you to the front door!" And Enzoromon dashed off, Ann was quickly on her Digimon's heels. The two were giggling at each other, their cares totally washed away.
"I won!" Enzoromon giggled as she pressed her paw on the door. But Enzoromon didn't expect to see the door actually swing open from the pressure of her paw.
"Well, the door isn't locked, so perhaps this means they don't mind visitors." Ann guessed, and walked inside.
The two took some time exploring inside the cabin, looking to see if the owner was home.
As Ann explored the cabin, she discovered it housed more than it appeared able from the outside. She found a well-stocked kitchen, a comfortable bedroom that even had a bed that Ann could fit in, a bathroom that included a natural hot spring as a bath, and a sitting room with several comfortable chairs sitting next to a cozy fireplace. Ann felt that if she could, she would live in this beautiful cabin with Enzoromon.
"I didn't find anyone home. You don't think the owner would mind if we made ourselves at home and spent the night, would they?" Enzoromon suggested.
"Whatever can keep such a lovely home must be kind enough to lend their home to needy strangers. No, I don't suppose they would mind." Ann grinned, "How about we make ourselves a big dinner and go to bed?"
"Yes! Finally! Food and a bed is what I need." Enzoromon agreed.
Instantly Ann and Enzoromon went about the kitchen, preparing a fine meal. Ann found some meat in the refrigerator and cooked it on the grill attachment of the stove. Enzoromon went into the garden and picked some vegetables for steaming. Ann found a fresh loaf of bread in the oven and sliced it up for the meal. The two set the small table in the kitchen, and served the food.
"I can't believe I actually made some edible food. The only thing I can do right is boil pasta." Ann commented after swallowing a piece of grilled meat. Ann questioned for a moment whether the Digital World had cattle or poultry.
"Cooking meat and steaming vegetables seems easy enough, so I don't think it was too hard for you, right?" Enzoromon replied.
"Enzoromon, where do you suppose the meat came from? I haven't seen any cattle in the Digital World yet."
"I don't know where you get your meat from in your world, but here in the Digital World we grow meat in the ground." Enzoromon explained, "I was going to get some from the garden, but you already found some in the fridge."
Ann stopped chewing on her piece of meat.
"Where did you say you got your meat from in your world?" Enzoromon asked.
Ann decided to forget about the thought of meat growing in the dirt and finished chewing her piece of meat. She swallowed and did her best to think of how meat really came from in her world.
"Back home, people raise animals. When the animals are at a right stage of their life, people kill the animals and butcher their meat and sell it in grocery stores." Ann explained.
"Ewww! That's so barbaric!" Enzoromon made a face.
"Growing meat in the dirt isn't much of an ideal version either." Ann commented.
Enzoromon decided to change the subject, since it was disgusting her so much now.
"I'm sure glad the owner of this house forgot about this bread." Then Enzoromon tried to stuff a whole potato in her mouth. Ann giggled at her Digimon's hunger.
* * *
Enzoromon curled up on the foot of the bed and waited for Ann to get out of the bath. When Ann reemerged, wearing a long sleeping gown she found in one of the dressers, Enzoromon yawned.
"Why do you take a bath before bed?" Enzoromon asked Ann
"I like to feel clean before I get into bed." Ann explained to Enzoromon.
"I can only take a bath in the mornings." Enzoromon commented.
"Since when do you take baths?" Ann chuckled.
"Uh. That's beside the fact. I can't stand not taking a bath in the morning. I have to start the day off all squeaky clean." Enzoromon pointed out.
"Well then, you take a bath tomorrow while I make breakfast." Ann planned. She then crawled between the covers of the bed, got comfortable, and quickly slipped off to sleep.
* * *
The morning sunshine in Ann's eyes woke her the next day. Ann's movements of getting out of bed roused Enzoromon.
"Are you going to take that bath yet?" Ann asked the drowsy Enzoromon.
"In a bit. I just want to sleep some more." Enzoromon closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
"Get up! I want to make the bed. Go take that bath." Ann picked her Digimon up and carried her into the bathroom. Ann stood over the hot spring bath tub and dropped her friend into the warm water with a huge splash.
"GAHHH!!" Enzoromon sputtered and crawled to the edge of the bath. "I'm up! I'll take a bath!" Enzoromon shook her wet head as a way to wake herself better. Ann tried to shield herself from the splashing water, already wet from the water Enzoromon displaced when she landed in the water. Ann left the bathroom to get her dry clothes on, and then make the bed. Once she was done, she went into the kitchen to look for ingredients to make pancakes or waffles with.
As a stroke of luck, Ann found everything needed to make both, as well as enough ingredients to make french toast, there was some sliced bread left over from diner to make plenty. Ann also discovered a waffle iron perfect for making the waffles. Ann had the batters all mixed for all three items when a lightly damp Enzoromon stepped into the kitchen.
"What are you making?" Enzoromon asked.
"Pancakes, waffles, and french toast." Ann replied, "We'll have some of each. Unless you can find me some fruit and bacon, that's it."
"There were a few fruit trees out in the garden, but I didn't see any bacon." Enzoromon recalled.
"Okay, so can you go pick me some fruit then? I should be done cooking when you get back." Ann asked.
Sure enough, by the time Enzoromon came back with a basket full of fruit, Ann had finished cooking the last piece of french toast.
"Do you want any maple syrup on your food?" Ann asked as she looked around for the breakfast topping.
"Maple syrup? What's that?" Enzoromon asked.
"Figures. Oh goody, I found some peanut butter though. Just as good as syrup. Almost better." Ann placed the jar on the table.
"Peanut butter, on this stuff? The only thing I eat peanut butter on is sandwiches." Enzoromon looked skeptical.
"At least try it. I tastes so good melted on top of a warm waffle." Ann took out a spreading knife, and started spreading peanut butter into every crevice of her waffle. As Ann began spreading peanut butter on her pancakes, Enzoromon grasped another spreading knife, with surprising dexterity of her paws, and spread a small glob of peanut butter onto a corner of her waffle. Enzoromon put the spreading knife down, and gingerly took a nibble off the peanut butter covered corner of the waffle. Chewing and making a face, expecting a disgusting taste, Enzoromon was taken by surprise at how good the combination tasted. Enzoromon proceeded to eat the rest of the peanut butter covered corner of her waffle, then enthusiastically covered her waffle in the same fashion as Ann's. Ann had to giggle at how funny her partner looked holding the spreading knife covered in peanut butter.
After finishing their breakfast, and cleaning all the dishes they had used, Ann and Enzoromon were sitting down and enjoying themselves. Ann and Enzoromon were busy discussing the similarities and differences of the Digital World and Ann's world when they heard someone walk through the front door.
"I knew taking an overnight camping trip would relax me. I can't wait to get in that bath and clean off all that camping dirt." A squeaky-sounding voice said from the front entrance.
Cautiously, Ann and Enzoromon took a peek through the hallway to see who it was. Enzoromon instantly recognized the rookie-level digimon as Psychemon. Ann interpreted the Digimon as a lupine lizard wearing a colorful wolf's fur on its' back. The Digimon resembled Gabumon, except the coloration on this Digimon was completely different. Psychedelic purples, greens, and blues gave a good hint as to why the Digimon was named Psychemon.
While quietly observing the colorful Gabumon look-alike, something odd clicked in Ann's brain. Something told her that this Digimon was Gabumon, the Digimon partner to the Digidestined Matt. That something told her she had to kill this Digimon. Ann stepped into full view in the hallway, a shadow over her eyes, and an evil grin seeming to have suddenly covered her face.
"Gabumon!" Ann shouted at the Digimon, "I am Ann of the Dark Digidestined, I am here to fulfill my purpose and destroy you!"
"Huh? There is no Gabumon here. My name is Psychemon. I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never heard of Dark Digidestined before." The Psychemon innocently stated.
Enzoromon, shocked at this sudden change in her partner, she looked up at Ann's face puzzled, which now had a dark shadow over her eyes and an evil sneer across her mouth. Enzoromon then took a second look at the innocent Psychemon, and suddenly the thing that possessed Ann took over Enzoromon as well.
"Liar! You are a Digidestined's Digimon partner and you must be destroyed. Enzoromon, Digivolve and destroy this filth!" Ann pointed an accusing finger at Psychemon.
Ann's Digivice glowed, and Enzoromon first Digivolved to Felinamon, then, when Ann's crest started glowing as well, Felinamon digivolved again to SabreFelinamon. The Ultimate-leveled Digimon unsheathed both her katanas, and used them to slice down onto the Psychemon, who was petrified with fear. The innocent Digimon died and dematerialized into tiny particles that dispersed and disappeared.
"SabreFelinamon, help me set this horrible place on fire." Ann ordered. SabreFelinamon waited outside, as Ann found an oil lamp and a dry rag. Ann also picked up a box of matches, and put them in her pocket. She then headed out the cabin's door.
"SabreFelinamon, destroy that cabin so it will be easier to burn." Ann ordered as she strode out to SabreFelinamon, holding the rag and the oil lamp.
SabreFelinamon crossed both katanas in front of herself, and concentrated on gathering up energy for the attack.
"Hyper Blade!" SabreFelinamon shouted, uncrossed her katanas in a sweeping arc, and launched an 'X' shaped beam of energy towards the cabin. The beam tore through the building, and in a matter of seconds, the building toppled into a pile of broken logs and rubble. Ann then stuffed the rag into the lamp, made sure it got soaked in the oil well enough, then lit the end of the rag with a match. She then hurled the Moltov Cocktail she just made towards the shambles that were once the cabin, and watched as the cocktail softly landed onto what was left of the thatch roof.
"Arrgh! It didn't hit hard enough! SabreFelinamon, do something to the lamp so it breaks or explodes or does something so it will burst into flames!" Ann shouted in frustration.
SabreFelinamon lifted one katana, pointed it at the Moltov Cocktail, and shot a narrow, blue beam at it. The beam hit with surprising accuracy, and the Moltov Cocktail exploded into flames like it was supposed to. The thatch roof provided excellent tinder, and within minutes, the ruins of the cabin were engulfed in flame.
Before the cabin did become a giant flaming mass, Ann picked out a good torch-sized piece of wood by her feet, walked up to the flaming cabin, making sure not to catch fire herself, and lit the end of the piece of wood. She quickly rushed through the garden with the torch, and trailed the flaming part through the patches of garden, setting all the plants ablaze. With everything possible on fire, Ann and SabreFelinamon watched the cabin burn to ashes from afar. An evil laughter flowed from Ann's lips. SabreFelinamon soon joined, the evil sound echoed through the forest.
