I'm back from Disneyland & I had FUN! Okay, like you care. I don't own Digimon.

An hour later, Eden was tired & sweaty. "How far is this stupid city!" she complained.

Celina, in front of her, looked behind & smiled. "Not that far."

"You said that half an hour ago!" Eden whined, wanting to stop.

"Stop whining." Nicky told her, walking next to Celina.

Too tired to do anything, Eden just glared at his back & continued walking.

Caitlyn walked beside her, staring up. "Eden, are you OK?"

Eden looked down & nodded. "Yeah, just tired."

Caitlyn nodded, smiling. Then she looked downward. "Daddy's probably worried about me."

Eden looked down at the 6-year-old girl & felt bad for her. "Don't worry. We'll be home soon & then we can tell you Daddy about everything."

Caitlyn looked up, hopeful. "Really?"

Eden nodded. "Really."

Caitlyn began to jump up & down, happy. "I get to see Daddy soon!" She began to skip up next to the other two.

Eden watched, feeling a little better for helping the little girl. She closed her eyes & took a deep breath. "This is tiring…" she said.

"Too bad you don't have one of these." a familiar voice says behind her.

Eden jumped, freaked out. The other three stopped & turned. Nicky groaned & the other two girls looked confused.

Eden turned & saw Greta standing in front of her. Well, more like on a canopy-thingy (think Cleopatra), being carried by four green Digimon.

Eden stared at her, then the sweating Digimon. "That's mean."

Greta raised an eyebrow. "What? The fact that I have this & you have to walk?" she sneered

"No," Eden pointed to the Digimon. "Making them work in this heat is mean."

Greta laughed. "As if I care."

Eden glared at her. "Well, I do. It's not fair for them."

Greta stared at her. "Are you going to do something about it?" She challenged.

Eden glared right back at her. "Yes, in fact I am." Bending down, she smiled at the Digimon. "Hi, I'm Eden. Who are you guys?"

The Digimon stared at her, eyes wide, skin sweaty. "Gekomon." One of them answer.

Eden bit her lip & stood up. Walking over, she grabbed something from Nicky's bag.

"What are you doing?" he asked, but she took a bottle of water & walked back to the Gekomon.

"Here. You must be thirsty." Eden handed them the bottle.

The Gekomon who answered stared at it, then took a drink. Realizing it was water, he drank some more.

Eden laughed. "Hey, save some for the others."

The Gekomon blushed, then handed the bottle to the one behind him. By the time it had gone around, the bottle was empty, but four happy Gekomon stood in front of her.

"Thank you. You are so very kind." The first Gekomon thanked her.

Eden smiled. "It's fine. I'm glad you guys are fine."

The three other kids watched, smiling at her kindness. Greta, on the other hand, was becoming impatient. "Yeah, real nice. Now leave so I can get going."

Eden stood up, glaring at her. "You are not going to make them work in this heat."

Greta glared right back at her. "And who's going to stop me?"

Eden got up in her face. "Me." she said, quiet, but firm.

Greta laughed in her face. "Really? A little 7 year old baby is going to stop me?"

Eden glared right back at her & opened her mouth to say something, but felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up, she saw Nicky shaking his head at her.

Greta saw Nicky & smiled. "Hey, it's nice to see you again."

Nicky looked at her, face unreadable. "Can't say the same for me."

Greta bit her lip as Eden held in a giggle. Greta felt blood rush to her face. "Well, whatever. I'm going." Snapping her fingers, she said, "Gekomon, let's get going."

The Gekomon looked at her, then at Eden. "No." the first one said.

Greta cleared her throat. "Excuse me?" she said.

The Gekomon looked at her & said more firmly this time, "No, we are not going to carry you anymore."

Greta looked at the Gekomon, then at Eden & Nicky. Fluffing her hair, she smirked. "Whatever. I can get more Digimon. See ya losers!" she laughed & walked off, probably in search of more Digimon to do her bidding.

Eden glared after her. "And don't come back!" she shouted.

"Thank you for helping us." the Gekomon said.

Eden smiled. "No big. I just don't think it's fair to make you guys work so hard in the sun."

The Gekomon suddenly bowed to her. "We owe you our lives. Thank you, Princess Eden."

Eden felt her eyes widen. "Princess Eden?" she squeaked out.

Nicky couldn't hold in a laugh. "Guess princesses aren't what they used to be."

Eden glared at him. "Shut up." Turning back to the Gekomon, she smiled. "Thank you for making me your Princess, but it's too much."

The Gekomon looked up from bowing. "Do you not want us to bow, Princess?"

Eden sighed. "Well, actually I don't want you to call me Princess."

"Of course, Princess."

Eden rolled her eyes. "OK, we'll work on that some more. Do you guys want to come with us?"

The Gekomon looked up. "To where?"

"File City." Nicky answered.

The Gekomon exchanged glances & Eden sensed something. "Is there something wrong with File City?"

The Gekomon shook their heads violently. "No." "Not at all." "It's great."

Eden stared at them, not convinced. She didn't say anything though. "Well, you in or what?"

The Gekomon nodded. "Of course. We must protect our Princess." Two in front of her & two in back.

Eden held down a groan, but Nicky couldn't stop laughing. "Shut up!" she shouted.

"OK, Princess Eden." He laughed, walking up to the other two girls.

Eden glared at his back, mimicking him. "Princess Eden. Blah blah blah." But she continued walking, 'guarded' by the Gekomon.

If this turned out weird, I'm writing this running on coffee. Word of advice to all; don't drink Starbucks at 9:30 at night! Please RR.
