Eventually they came to a part in the forest full of what appeared to be useless road signs.
"I don't walk this much unless I'm at a mall," Mimi complained "and as you can see we're nowhere near one." Mimi stopped and leaned up against a tree.
"Mimi stop whining," Tai said, exasperated. He, like many of the others, was tired as well but Mimi's complaining was grading on all of their nerves.
"No! My feet hurt."
"Maybe if you take off your boots and socks you'd feel better Mimi," Agumon suggested "It's much more practical I think." Amaya grimaced, that wasn't going to go over well with the other girl.
"I'm not walking in dirt in my bare feet," Mimi denied.
"I love the feel of dirt under my feet, especially between my toes," said Palmon, hurrying over to them.
"Goss!" Mimi cried. Palmon ignored her and got down on her hands and knees to feel the ground better.
"It appears that we may be losing our light source," Izzy pointed out, looking towards the fading light in the sky.
"What a weird sunset," said Sora
"This whole island is weird," said Izzy "and who knows what will come out at night." Izzy was right, Amaya wasn't sure she wanted to know.
"Wait," said Tentomon "I detect water! Stay here while I check it out." With that Tentomon flew up above the trees to get a better look around.
"Yes, as usual, I'm right. It's a lake with fresh clean water and a variety of tasty fish." Tentomon called down "It's a perfect campsite." Amaya agreed wholeheartedly, it was always best to camp near fresh water.
"Maybe I can finally soak my poor achy feet," said Mimi.
"Yay! We get to swim!" Gomamon cheered, beginning to run towards the lake, only to have Joe grab him by the tail.
"Gomamon," he called "You better wait and make sure it's safe first."
"That's why I think we should keep walking and stop all the complaining," said Matt
"Everybody's hungry," Tai pointed out "We have to find some food,"
"That is a good plan, I like that plan a lot," said Joe.
"I still have some," Amaya pointed out "And once we reach the lake we can catch some fish to eat as well," So they continued to walk until they reached the lake. Sticking out of the lake were what appeared to be power lines and towers. Plus there was an island in the middle with something on it that Amaya couldn't quite make out.
"It should be safe to rest here tonight," said Biyomon
"Yeah," Sora agreed "I love camping outside."
"If I won't walk in dirt what makes you think I'll sleep in it?" asked Mimi
"Mimi do you see a hotel here?" asked Tai, fed up. Mimi looked past him and gasped, making Tai turn around to see what it was.
"Wow..." he said. Out on the island the thing that Amaya had noticed earlier lit up, it was a trolley car.
"What's that?" asked Tai
"It looks like a trolley car," said T.K.
"That's odd," said Izzy "the lights just...came on."
"Well maybe there are some real people in there," said Sora
"Let's check it out!" called Tai happily as he and Agumon ran towards it with the others close behind.
"Maybe they can take us back home!" Mimi cried "In air conditioned comfort!"
"Mimi, wait up!" Tai called. As they got closer the doors opened and Tai, Sora, Izzy, Mimi were the first ones on.
"Bummer, it's empty," said Tai
"Totally empty," Sora agreed
"No trolley car's this clean," said Izzy from where he was kneeling on the floor.
"Oh goody, these cushions are comfy," said Mimi as she bounced slightly on the seat.
"Something's wrong..." said Tai "remember those weird phone booths we saw on the beach? Something just as freaky could happen here!"
"Yeah," said Joe "Like this suddenly moving all by itself."
"Possibly, but then again maybe that's how we're gonna get home," said Tai
"So we have nothing to lose by staying here," Sora pointed out, leaning back in one of the seats.
"Uh," moaned Tentomon from next to Sora "Can we eat now?"
"That's right," said Tai "I forgot."
