"Well…?" said Daisuke, who had been waiting quite a while for Dark to say something for the past ten minutes. He sat in the train station, waiting for his train to finish its rather slow climb up the hill leading to his school.

"Ah, yes. I'm sorry. I was busy thinking of how I'm supposed to begin this," Dark said, snapping out of it. He glanced around the area outside of Daisuke's brain. "This setting isn't right."

"Oh give me a break-"

"I'm serious! I want a nice, story telling setting. The woods and a campfire will do." Dark clapped his hands and chop-chopped Daisuke.

"Hey! You said that the first time I met you eighteen chapters ago!" Daisuke said.

"And that's when you poisoned me!"

So the both of them had a good laugh about that until Dark realized he was still mad at Daisuke for poisoning him and refused to say anything to Daisuke until he arranged a good story telling setting.

"Daisuke!" Takeshi shouted before Daisuke could leave the school grounds.

"Takeshi, I'm kind of busy right now," Daisuke growled, trying to walk away.

"Aw, come on, man! Mio Hio won't leave me alone!" Takeshi yelled, turning around to reveal a Mio Hio who was hugging Takeshi around the waist, her arms refusing to release him even a smidge. A grin was plastered over her happy face.

"The Takeshi has saved the Mio from the evil car that almost hit the Mio! The Mio must repay the Takeshi by hugging him day and night without refusing to let go!" Mio said happily.

Daisuke blinked. "Um, why is she talking in the third person?"

Takeshi mouthed "I don't know" as he tried to pry Mio off him with a crowbar.

"Mio, get off me! I don't like you!" Takeshi yelled to her through gritted teeth.

"You… don't?" Mio said, finally releasing her death grip around his waist to stare at him with shiny, tear-filled eyes.

"Not really," Takeshi growled.

"What a cruel thing to say." Mio took out her pepper spray, spritzed Takeshi in the face and walked away.

"OWWWWW!" Takeshi yelled, clawing at his eyes. "What the heck was that for, huh?! What did I do?!"

"I don't know, but I'd have to say you made the Mio unhappy," Daisuke replied, watching Mio scamper off into the train tracks. "Mio. Get out of there. You're going to hit by a train."

"The Mio doesn't care." Mio lay down, her arms and legs spread out as if she was making a snow angel. "The Mio will only come out of the Takeshi saves me."

"Dude, I think she likes you," Daisuke said, turning back to Takeshi. Takeshi's red, blotchy eyes opened wide in fear.

"This... This can't be right!" Takeshi pulled something out of his pocket. "But… My Pokemon cards said that Mio would fall in love with the captain of the football team!"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"They work for Risa. Aw, man." Takeshi began to pout.

"…Please save her from the train, Takeshi."

"No."

"Come on."

"No."

"Mio! Get out of the way," Daisuke shouted. He looked around. "Where'd she go?"

"I don't know. And, more importantly, I don't care."

"Do we have any woods around here?" Daisuke asked.

"Um… probably. Why?" Takeshi asked, boarding the train as it finally arrived.

"I need to go there. School project," he added quickly.

"What project?" Takeshi said, his eyes growing even wider. Daisuke remembered that they had nearly all their classes together.

"Um… the one that only I have to do. For grade elevation," Daisuke added quickly again.

Takeshi was in awe, wondering what class he possibly be doing better than Daisuke in.

"The train is going really fast today," Takeshi said suddenly.

"Yeah, that's weird," Daisuke said with a shrug.

"Hey, look, the wheels just caught on fire," Takeshi yelled, pointing.

"Maybe we're going faster than I thought…" Daisuke looked around. They were the only ones on the train.

"We should see if the driver is okay," Daisuke said hurriedly. He ran to the front of the train while Takeshi watched the wheels sparking with great enthusiasm and making "oooooh" noises.

"What's going on-? MIO?!" Daisuke yelled as Mio turned around.

"You! Short boy! Stop the train!" Mio shrieked, hugging Daisuke in fear.

"What are you doing here? And why were you driving?!" Daisuke asked, pulling Mio off him.

"Mio wanted Takeshi to get home on time and the train man was too slow, so Mio tied him up and threw him by the side of the tracks!" Mio exclaimed, exhaling deeply as she once again forgot to breathe.

"YOU IDIOT! Whatever. I'll deal with you later." Daisuke pulled on the break. The train halted abruptly and fell onto its side before sliding down the mountain. So Daisuke turned into Dark while Mio preoccupied herself with Takeshi, picked up the train and carried it off into the woods before falling asleep and transforming back into Daisuke.

Takeshi emerged from a cracked window, Mio clinging to him like an extra arm. "Hey, that was weird, but at least we're alive," Takeshi said, shrugging.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING DRIVING A TRAIN?!" Daisuke yelled at Mio.

"I was being useful!" Mio said gleefully.

Daisuke and Takeshi slapped their foreheads simultaneously. Stuck in the woods with the biggest idiot in the school was not how they planned their Friday afternoon to go.

"Hey, Riku, I'm thinking about getting a tattoo."

"Are you now?" Riku said, turning the channel on the TV. Her sister got a crazy idea once every month. Risa happened to know she had a fear of needles. "Of what?"

"One of a huge flaming panda bear with its mouth dripping with blood so that when I go to the beach and I'm wearing my bikini, single creeps will take one look at it and walk away," Risa said intensely.

"I don't know you," Riku mumbled.

"Pardon?"

"Won't that scare away single nice guys too?"

Risa pondered this. "You have a point. Hmm… Maybe it should say across the bottom in bones 'Single Creeps Beware'."

"That's great." Riku flipped the channel again. "Hey, look. A train broke down near our school."

"What's the damage?" Risa asked, a suspicious excited glint in her eye.

"That's bizarre. It says they can't find the train…" Riku blinked in confusion. "And they found the train guy tied up next to the tracks."

"Weird. Anyway, I'm hungry, and Mom and Dad are gone tonight. You gonna cook something?"

"For myself, yeah."

"But I'm hungry!" Risa pretended to cry and crouched down directly in front of Riku's face. "I could really go for one of your lobster pot pies right now."

Riku sighed. "But we spent all day cooking. Let's order something."

"Yay! Let's get sushi!" Risa said clapping her hands.

"Right. Because we just needed something to make this Asian, didn't we?" Riku mumbled, trailing after her sister to dial the number.

"Hi, welcome to Mooshy Sushi. We'll make good sushi for you-shi. What can I get for you tonight?" said a bored voice over the intercom.

"Just some sushi."

"Hey, we have a message!" Risa said happily.

"Wait till I finish ordering," Riku muttered. "To go, please. The big mansion near the lake. You can't miss it. No, I don't have a boyfriend. Why-? HEY! JUST GET ME MY SUSHI!" Riku slammed the phone down.

"If you had a tattoo, that wouldn't have happened," Risa said. "That proves my point."

"Risa… they can't see a tattoo over the phone…" Riku stated flatly, rolling her eyes. She played the message.

"Riku? It's Daisuke. I know you hate me, but we're trapped in the woods. Me and Takeshi that is. With Mio Hio. And if you could come save us that would be really great… Um… Mio says hi and she loves Takeshi- What am I saying?! Just come get us."

"Drat. Guess we'd better go get them." Riku got her jacket and her infamous bike.

"I'll wait for the sushi!" Risa called after her. Riku sighed and continued pedaling.

Satoshi was trying to sleep on the ground of his mansion because he couldn't find his room. He had to sell his house tomorrow anyway. But then he heard a knock on the door.

It took him seventy two minutes to find the door, but when he did, his visitor was still there. He opened the door and looked down-

"Dad?!" Satoshi shouted.

"Hey, Satoshi!" his dad said and hugged him. "I came to have some special bonding time with my favorite and only son!"

Suddenly, Satoshi blacked out.

Um…

Dun, dun, dun!
