"Cool! The Crest of Reliability!" I said, looking at my crest.
"That crest will help me digivole John." Gomamon said.
"Then why don't you digivolve now?" I asked Gomamon.
"I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. I can't digivolve without eating." Gomamon said.
"That's a good idea Gomamon! Ally, can you give me some food?" Armadillomon asked.
"If it will help you digivole, then okay." Ally said, reaching into her bag and grabbing a sandwich. She placed it in front of Armadillomon. "Eat up!"
"Do you always have a sandwich in your bag Ally?" I asked.
"No. I have sandwiches." Ally said.
"Oh! Can I have one?" Shadow asked.
"Sure. Do you like peanut butter and jelly?" Ally asked.
"I'll eat anything!" Shadow replied, grabbing the sandwich out of Ally's hands. "Renamon, want to share?"
"Sure." Renamon said.
"Here you go!" Shadow said, handing Renamon half of the sandwich. Renamon took small bites, savoring it. "Is it good?"
"Yes." Renamon replied.
"I have sandwiches for everyone!" Ally said and we were soon all eating sandwiches and talking.
"This reminds me when me, Jackson, and my little sister would make ham and barbeque sandwiches and sit around and talk." Shadow said.
"Ham and barbeque? That sounds gross!" I said.
"It's great! Especially on toasted bread!" Shadow said.
"I've seen her eat one. Never tried one myself though." Max said.
"Sounds like it would make you sick." I mumbled.
"I also like ketchup and mashed potatoes!" Shadow said.
"Today we learned Shadow is crazy." I said.
"It's getting dark. We should get some sleep." Max said. "But where? I don't see a cave anywhere."
"I know a place we can stay!" Tentomon said.
"Really Tentomon? Ok, lead us there!" Max said.
"Follow me guys!" Tentomon said. He was heading straight for a tree.
"Tentomon! Look out!" Max yelled just before Tentomon walk into the tree.
"Come on guys!" Shadow said as she walked into the tree.
"If Shadow can do it, I'll do it too!" Alana said, walking into the tree.
"Come on." Ally said, the others following behind her.
It was bigger than I thought, and it was hollow. "Where are we?" I asked.
"A data tree!" Tentomon said.
"A data tree?" I said.
"It appears to be made of computer data that has taken on physical form." Max said.
"Well, we found a shelter so let's get to sleep!" I said. "You wouldn't happen to digital pillows and blankets?"
"Nope." Renamon said.
"Well, I can go to sleep on the floor. Renamon, let's go to sleep." Shadow said, lying down on the floor.
"Sure." Renamon said.
"Goodnight!" Shadow said.
When every person and digimon asleep, I walked outside. "Hey John!" Someone behind me said.
I turned around to see Alana. "What are you doing out here?" I asked her.
"I couldn't sleep. What about you?" She asked me.
"I just needed some time to think." I replied.
"What are you thinking about?" Alana asked me.
"None of your business." I said.
"I bet your thinking about this whole divivolving thing." She said.
"How'd you know?" I asked.
"I just guessed!" She laughed.
"I just think if Gomamon can't digivole I can't protect... us." I said.
"Do you mean us as the group or us as... us?" She asked.
I paused for a second. "The group." I said.
"Well, this was a good talk. I'm going to sleep. Goodnight!" She said as she walked into the tree.
I decided to stay outside, away from Alana. After what seemed like an hour, I decided to go inside. I lied down next to Gomamon, and went into a deep sleep.
