Zoe walked over to Ami and sat next to her. It was getting dark, and Takuya, Koji, and Koichi were out getting more firewood. Tommy was playing with Patamon and Neemon, and JP was showing Bokomon some of his new magic tricks.

"What do you think about Takuya?" Zoe asked after a while.

Ami sat up. She had been lying down, staring at the sky. "Huh? I dunno," she said. "He's good friend and all, but he's kind of annoying. Why do you ask?"

"So, you don't, you know...like-like him or anything?" Zoe asked.

"No," said Ami, trying not to laugh. "He's like a brother to me. Why, do you?"

Zoe blushed. "Yeah, I think I do," she admitted.

"Good, because I know that he adores you," said Ami. "Really."

"He does?" said Zoe excitedly. "I can't believe it."

"You mean, you never noticed?" asked Ami.

"Well, there was this one time three years ago when he said he liked me," said Zoe, "But not as more than a friend. He was really embarrassed."

"Yeah, well, don't let him fool you," said Ami. "He really likes you."

Takuya, Koji, and Koichi came back a little while later, carrying firewood. They placed the wood in a pile near the fire.

Zoe got up and pulled Takuya away from the others. When they came back, about 5 minutes later, both were blushing terribly.

Ami giggled. "Looks like she told him," she said to herself.

"Told him what?" asked Koichi. He had walked over to Ami and sat next to her.

"Hm? Oh, Zoe must've told Takuya how much she likes him," said Ami. She smirked and shook her head.

"Oh, right," said Koichi. He smiled, still watching Ami.

Ami sighed. "Why are you and your brother always doing that?" she asked.

"Huh? Doing what?" asked Koichi.

"You both keep staring at me, and it's kinda weird," said Ami. "Do you this to all the girls you meet or something?"

"We do?" asked Koichi. "Oh, sorry. No, we don't usually stare at girls. I guess it's just because you're a friend of Takuya's, and we don't know much about you."

"Oh, alright," said Ami. "Just try to stop it, okay?"

Koichi nodded. "Yeah, okay." He sighed. Good, he thought. She didn't figure it out. But she said Koji keeps watching her, too. I wonder why.

Koichi looked over at Koji, who had been watching him and Ami. He should be careful around her, Koji thought. If he says something at the wrong time, who knows what could happen. When he noticed Koichi was looking at him, Koji quickly looked away.

Ami looked over at Zoe and Takuya, who were sitting next to each other. Takuya had his arms around Zoe, who was blushing, but not as much as before. Ami then looked over at JP. He was watching Takuya and Zoe, a look of anger and jealousy on his face. Ami rolled her eyes.

"It's getting late," said Bokomon. "And we should all get some rest. Who knows what will happen tomorrow."

The kids all nodded in agreement. Everyone soon fell asleep. Well, everyone but Ami. She stood up and looked around. "This place is so beautiful," she said quietly as she started walking away from the others. "Why would anyone want to ruin it?"

"Oh no dear, not ruin. Never ruin," came a voice behind her.

Ami turned and saw Cherubimon. She only knew who it was because she had seen a picture of him in Bokomon's book. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I've come to talk to you, little Ami," said Cherubimon.

"Wait, how do you know my name?" Ami asked.

"Oh, I know more about you than you think," he said. "Anyways, I'm here because I need you. I must bring Lucemon back so he can rebuild this chaotic world, and I need your help in doing so."

Ami shook her head. "No way," she said. "Lucemon won't rebuild the world, he'll destroy it! I won't let that happen."

"I don't think you have much of a choice," said Cherubimon. He grabbed Ami and was about to disappear, but a beam of light hit him.

"Let her go," came a voice behind him.

Cherubimon turned and saw Lobomon and Lowemon.

"Lobo Kendo!" shouted Lobomon. He attacked Cherubimon.

Cherubimon dropped Ami, then disappeared.

Lowemon caught Ami. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine," said Ami.

"Good," said Lowemon. He set her down then turned back into Koichi. Lobomon turned back into Koji.

"Please don't tell the others what happened," said Ami.

"Why?" asked Koichi.

"I just...Don't want them to know," said Ami.

Koji nodded. "Okay, we won't say anything," he said.

"Thanks."

They started walking back to the others.

"Why did you two do that?" Ami asked after a few minutes.

"Do what?" asked Koichi.

Ami didn't answer him. "I can take care of myself just fine," she said.

"Okay, next time we won't come after you, even though Koichi and I know what it's like here and you don't," said Koji coldly. "If you get hurt next time, it won't be our fault."

"You're right, it'll be my fault, and I don't really care!" replied Ami, just as coldly.

Koji shrugged. "Fine, whatever," he said.

Ami started walking faster. Every now and then, she's look back at Koji angrily.

Koichi looked at Koji, then at Ami. "What was that?" he asked.

"What?" asked Koji.

"That," said Koichi. "Why did you have to be so mean?"

"That wasn't being mean," said Koji. "She needs to use common sense."

"Stupid Koji," Ami mumbled. "Why does he have to be such a jerk?"
