Guilmon's hungry adventure turned bad

Guilmon woke up in a start. He stood up from his cozy bed and looked up with a little "ohh". Guilmon sniffed and smelled the content of his underground home. Which consisted of his grassy bed, piles of rotten leftover food, (he hadn't cleaned that month) and droppings he really should have taken care of. But nothing else was in his cavern. He sniffed again to make sure there was nothing else and while sorting out the variety of smells he was interrupted and suddenly the sensation that had woken him up grew.

"Growlllll"

"Bad stomach, bad stomach," To emphasize he hit his stomach, "There's no food and I don't want to go out in the creepy dark and look for food. There might be scary creatures out there."

In response his stomach made another growl.

"Oh! Why did Takotomon made me have a big stomach and a taste for bread? Maybe I still have some around."

Officially it wasn't 'bread' it was 'Digi-Bread' Guilmon taught some digimon how to make bread, with different ingredients of course. It was a big success and for teaching them they brought Digi-Bread to his little den once a week.

He searched but wasn't successful.

"Oh! I'll have to go to the deep, dark, and spooky forest to get berries."

So he climbed out of his den and headed toward the forest, forgetting that he was only a mile from the town that baked the bread. He went into the forest, looking here and there for berries, looking for just the right ones. The right ones being they weren't expired and weren't like they are in the beginning of the season, which were hard and too sweet for his taste. But this was hard because it was late in the season and a rain had come in earlier that day and it washed out all of the scent that the berries flowers would have created. So he was completely blind to where they were, not to mention it was middle of the night. He looked at the sky but failed because the canopy of leaves blocking the way.

"Oh no. I'm too deep and those Renamon's will try to kill me just to get stronger."

Then he spotted them, the perfect berries, and the ones that are ripe and had a touch of morning dew on them. Perfect. Guilmon licked his lips. But, of course, there was a problem; they were on the tree limb hanging down because of the weight of the berries and of course just out of reach of Guilmon's hands.

I guess I could jump and get them." Guilmon said to himself.

Guilmon readied himself and took a leap in an attempt to catch the berries with his extended height. But his newfound height didn't help anything. He tried a couple of more times before giving up that idea and moving on to another one. He then studied the tree. The closest branches were the berry branch itself, which, also, didn't help matters. An idea hit him, a very clever idea for him and would seem disastrous to us. He punched the tree locking his spiky fingers in it. He continued to do this with all his limbs, planning to climb up with his limbs in a stepping pattern, like rock climbing but no rocks. But a problem arose while doing this. His legs got stuck. He didn't have the flexibility to pull his legs out unless he took his hands out and pushed his hands on the tree to get unstuck. Which he did to be on the ground again, hitting the ground and all of his other ideas seem to go out of his brain because of that bump. All the while his stomach growling and reminding him he needed food. Finally he slumped down in defeat. Then he looked at the berries longing in his eyes, then something remarkable happened. A yellow blur stepped on the tree holding the berries and jumped off. The effect was the berries fell off the trees and landed in front of Guilmon's paws. He licked his lips again getting ready to eat it when.

Smash.

In place of the berries came a purple foot, obviously smashing the berries to flat skins and juice. Guilmon looked up at the digimon who did this. Who it was didn't surprise him.

"Hey there Papinfuss. Watcha doin'? Said the sly digimon putting his hands on his hips.

"Impmon, that was mean you knew I was going to eat that."

"Eat what? That spoiled stuff." Impmon said lifting his foot and revealing the mess.

"Why are you here?" Guilmon said getting frustrated.

"To see Renamon. Do you know where she is?"

"No, probably in her tree. Asleep."

"Oh well. Bye bigfoot."

Guilmon sat there for a while not knowing what to do. Just listening to distant rustles.

"Oh, give me a sign what to do." Yelled Guilmon.

Flash! A blinding light came. He covered his eyes and yelled, "Okay, turn off the lights."

Then, miraculously, it started to dim until there was nothing left. Guilmon ran to it, ignoring the hunger cries his stomach called to him. Finally he reached it. He knew he was there because a girl was glowing in the sky, wings spread out. Then the light started to dim around her and she gently put up her arm as if sucking in the light. So she came down, eyes closed and landed on the ground. She put down her arm.

"The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed. You, my joyful friend hasn't laughed, why not?"

"Because Impmon murdered my berries."

"Hmph…. Hear me now, Guilmon. This will help you on the journey ahead.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. So, my joyful friend, believe in yourself and stand up in your rocky future ahead. He closed his eyes and opened them to find that he was in a building. Metal surrounded him and it was dark and cold. He rapped his arms around himself to keep warm when he noticed. He looked down on himself, shocked. One thought came into mind.

"Takato!" Yelled Guilmon running out of the building and onto a street lit by streetlights and cars. People surrounded him.

"Excuse me, miss." Politely said Guilmon.

The woman ignored him and so did everyone else he talked to. He was puzzled and was pushed and shoved out of the street and into an alleyway. He followed it to another building. But the building was surrounded by trees and could easily been missed. It was the metal shed. He walked over to it and peered in, wondering if anybody lived in there when he heard somebody.

"Hey, you. Do you live in there?"

Guilmon spun around and saw a man there.

Long time no write. Anyway the two quotes also don't belong to me and I hope to update sooner on the fic because my other one has only a couple of chapters to go.
