[Mean while in the Digital world just after the last chapter.]

It was the end of beautiful day in the Digital world. The sun was setting, the bird Digimon where flying majestically through the sky as the digimon below where relaxing either in the Suns rays or in the shade under a large tree or rock. But unfortunately for us our heroes adventure starts else where. More specifically it takes place on the base of obsidian mountain not far from the stone ruins of an ancient settlement long since lost to the anoles of history and passage of time.

At the foot of said mountain there was a faded yet oddly familiar carving of a person or humanoid Digimon carved into the very stone itself. The only distinctive features that could be made out from the image was a mask three unique horns that resembled Fire Islands fabled warrior of old. Then it started to crack from the inside.

First it started as a single crack straight down the centre of the image, then multiple smaller cracks began to form spawning from the original until a complex web of cracks formed the outline of a familiar human Digimon. Seconds later it shattered sending debris every where and revelling none other then Lelouch, now as Agunimon, leaning as still as a statue, up agenst the the rock face with his eyes closed.

"Mmmh…?" grunted the newly awakened Digimon as he slowly opened his violet eyes allowing them up to a few minutes to adjust to the Suns light before he started moving.

After a few minutes had past and his eyes adjusted he slowly but surely began to lift himself out of what remained of the stone sarcophagus his new body was imprisoned in. He stared by jerking his right then left arm out of the stone that had moulded around them then he did the same with his legs in the same order before useing his newly freed limbs to push agenst the the rock holding his torso hostage and flung him forward on to his hands and knees.

"Well… that was something!" Lelouch the Agunimon said to himself thankful his voice stayed the same as it had when he was a human. He then stood up right and began brushing the dirt and remaining rocks off of his armor/body. Once he had cleaned himself off he took in his surroundings and noted the position of the sun in the sky.

"It's already getting dark. I should find somewhere to set up camp for the night." he said to himself as he carefully started getting used to his new body one small step at a time, literaly in the direction of what looked like a near be forest.

[Sometime time later in a nearby forest]

It had been almost an hour or two since he woke up in this strange new world and he had already managed to get a small fire going. It wasn't much but considering how small and weak his literal fire power was from when he was trying to start a fire by useing his element instead of rubbing to sticks together (like a chump) he dicided to wait until morning to start practicing with his new fire starting powers… for good of course!

But the most bazaar thing was the "meat plants" he found growing out in the wild about an hour after getting used to walking in his new body. Seriously? Meat that grows from plants or meat that is and grows like a plant from the ground upwards? Who came up with that screwy concept for a plant in the first place. Sure it meant that no on had to kill and eat each other or any animals that possibly may or may not exist in this world to survive but still it was just so wired, dispite also being quite delicious too from a hungry Digimons stand point.

"At least I managed to find something to eat in this world rather then starve to death." sighed Lelouch sitting next to the campfire form warmth as he fished off one of the chunks of meat he had found a short while ago. Hey it's literally free food. Like hell someone would pass that up starving or not!

"I might as well turn in for the night. I'll have a long day of training to do tomorrow." yawned the new warrior of Fire Island as he lay his head down on a pile of leafs he had gathered up earlier to use as a makeshift pillow and drifted off into sleep.

(A few hours later!)

The next day he awoke with a loud yawn and then proceeded to stretch his entire body before starting his day. From the position of the sun in the sky the boy could tell that it was only just starting to rise indicateing that it was around early dawn at the least. His attention was redirected by the sound of his stomach growling at him.

"Well it looks like I'll be having more of that strange meat of breakfast today. Oh, joy…" rhetorically stated the Ultimate level fire Digimon as he pulled out a chunk of said meat and began eating away at a nice slow, steady and well mannered pace.

After his somewhat disturbing morning meal plant meat he set out to find somewhere less flammable for training. Fortunately he came across a large clearing with a large rock about the size of a kneeling Knightmare frame all by it's lonesome.

"I suppose this will have to do for now." sighed former human as he instinctually changed into a fighting stance. "Wait. When did I…" he asked himself before four small objects made of flames appeared in his hands between his fingers and thumbs. "Are these… Darts!?" he asked himself as he looked over the so called dart shaped flames in his hands. 'They don't have wight to them not surpriseingly. I wonder…?' he thought to himself as he released the darts in his right hand which disappeared before they hit the ground then repeated it again with the ones in left hand and getting the same result yet again.

"Well… at least I won't have to worry about starting a forest fire with those, hopefully." he sigh in relief as a odd name ran through his head 'pyro darts? Is that what those dart things are called?' he asked himself just before he remembered the rock right in front of him. "Perhaps it's time for some target practice?" mused the once emperor turned Digimon world warrior as he gabbed a small hand sized rock and drew a bullseye onto the flat surface with a rather insulting image of Charles Zi Britainia in the centre.

"Not a bad look for you, hey Chariles? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Lelouch burst out into laughter, fell to the ground and started rolling around at his own joke as his sides began to hurt. "Ha ha ha ha… God damn I'm lonely." he sighed depressingly before getting back up on his feet and started throwing his darts at the poor representation of his deceased bastered of a farther. Aguni-Lelouch spent the next two to three and a half hours practicing in aiming and throwing his new fire darts useing different techniques, stances, angels and getting closer and closer to the bullseye each time. By the time finished his practice session he managed to hit dead centre of the target at least six times which raised a few alarm bells in him mind instead of Causeing him to celebrate.

"Normally I'd say any one who could get this good at throwing dart instently was abnormal. But I doubt human standerds of normal apply in this case, or in this world for that matter." he then began to wonder if all Digimon where this precise with there accuracy when it comes to there attacks. That was until his stomach started growling again. "Well I suppose I did work up an appetite from all that practice." the boy said to himself as he pulled out a chunk of meat from where ever he put it in the fist place and started munching away on it. "Much better." he sighed his appetite vanquished for now as noted how low the sun was in the sky. "I should probably fined a somewhere to set up camp for tonight soon." he said to himself as the continued on his path from earlier at a brisk pace.

'This place is strikingly beautiful for being made entirely out of liveing pixels.' thought Lelouch as he wondered further into the forest. Thankfully who ever was here long before him had the foresight to make a clearly visible road made from dirt, gravel, leafs and the occasional twig or two mixed in. The sound of the gravel, twigs, and leafs crunching under foot was to an extent claiming being as though it was one of the few sounds that was shared by his old world and this one. "The trees seem to be dispersing quite a bit here. It seams as though I am close to the exit by no…"

*Kra-Kaboom!"

The sound of an explosion and the tremors caused by it cut him off from his thought as the sound of screaming could be heard from not far up ahead caught his attention.

"Damn it! Looks like Ophanimon was right. The war has already spread to the Island already." The human turned Digimon cursed to himself as then for no apparent reason his body dicided to dash off in the same direction the noises where coming from at high speed. Or at least Suzaku levels of speed.

'What the… Why is my body acting on its own?' Lelouch asked no one in particular only to remember why a split second later. 'Oh, that's right. This was the original Agunimon's body. It must still have some residual traces of him left in it. Just perfect now I'm going to have to play hero like Suzaku did during the first black rebellion. Let's hope I don't also end up like he did afterwards.' Lelouch hoped for the best as he burst out the excit of of the forest and up a small hill only to come face to face with the scene of a lager town like settlement under siege from a small force of six Champion level Digimon and one Ultimate level standing at the back. In total there numbers where an even but still over powered seven Digimon and to make matters worse there was only six defenders, two of which where Champion, three where Rookies and the leader was some kind of blue lizard Digimon with haunched legs, white under belly, a flat curved steel like horn while wearing red armor with yellow flames. Needless to say they where horrible out matched in this one sided fight and one was using the confusion to sneak around to try and ambush one of the defenders most likely there leader.

"Looks like the attackers are Nature Digimon. Normally fire has an advantage over plants and insects no matter how many there are, but a doubt there playing fair here at all." Lelouch analysed the situation from atop the hill before makeing a mad dash for the battle field in the distance.


"GEO FLAME!" yelled the defending GeoGreymon striking an attacking kabuterimon square in the face sending it plummeting to the ground. "Bullseye! Ha ha ha." He ironically laughed before Stingmon shot him in his face with moon shooter.

"GeoGreymon?!" yelled Meramon as his comrade hit the floor. "MAGMA BLAST!" he then yelled as hot balls of magma descended from the sky onto the enemy while also acting as literal cover fire giving his friend enough time to get back up onto his feet.

"PYRO SPHERE!" shouted Guilmon as consecutive red fire balls shot out of it's reptilian mouth disorientating kuwagamon who then crashed into a building.

"PEPPER BREATH!" Agumon announced his attack as it bearly effected Veggiemon in the slightest before getting swatted away by one of Veggiemon's vine arms.

"POWER METAL!" roared Dorumon shooting it at RedVeggiemon but it had just as little effect as Agumon's did only to receive a barrage of red hot chilli peppers as compensation for her efforts.

"Stand your ground and fight!" ordered there commander, Flamedramon as she then used "FLAME FIST!" to shoot a fire ball at Stingmon that nailing him in the chest and sent him flying towards the back of the enamy formation. "We have to hold them off until the residents can get away safely." she elaborated as kuwagamon and kabuterimon got back up from there dirt naps and onto there feet. It goes with out saying that they where pissed off at this point.

"That's a lot easier said then done Flamedramon." called back Mearmon as he throw a fire ball at kabuterimon who only dodged it.

"He's right kid. These guys are putting all the Tyranomon that I've fought over the years to shame." agreed GeoGreymon after launching one of his GEO FLAMES at kuwagamon only for him to dodge as well.

"Just give up already, will you?" drowned the enamy commander, Okuwamon with a posh British ascent from the back lines. "If you hadn't tryed to fight back agenst us then we wouldn't be in this mess, now would we? Besides, I don't want to ruin my lovely completion from as the ash and dust." He argued stating his apparent "good looks" where more important then this battle.

"Shut it, you ugly scissor faced creep! There's no way in hell we're letting you slaughter any of our fellow towns folk." aggressively retorted Flamedramon as a small green Champion level Digimon jumped out of the shadows behind her.

"You're gonna regret saying that to the boss, bitch!" screamed Weedmon (as in the actual weeds that grow in ones garden, not the marijuana kind of weed) surprising the armor level Digimon. "Take this! Poison Iv… uuuggghhh!" yelled Weedmon who was punched in the face a split second before he could finish his sentence or use his attack by an unknown assailant with fire covered fists.

"I don't think so!" shouted the attacker as he then landed on his feet a few inches away from where Weedmon landed. "Go back to your blowpipe, pot head!" he the yelled as he punted Weedmon into his comrade Stingmon which also sent him flying backwards as well.

"You lot need to do some serious weed whacking around here! For fuck sake there popping up all over the place left, right and centre." joked the blonde Digimon while cracking his knuckles and lighting his fists on fire. "Need a hand around here?" he asked the Digimon he saved seconds earlier.

"Who the hell are you?!" she shouted at/asked him.

"That's not important right now, is it?" the new face answered with his own question.

"Are you two quite done, or do we have to wait another six hours or so until you are?" sarcastically asked Okuwamon both bored and annoyed with the sudden turn of events.

"What ever! Just don't come crying to me if you get hurt new guy." said Flamedramon giving up on the conversation in favour of returning to the battle.

"What ever you say madam." replyed the blonde Digimon in red armor as he joined the fray. Seconds later the battle started up again as Lelouch dodged an "ELECTRO SHOCKER" form kabuterimon and countered with "PYRO DRATS" hitting Kabuterimon, Stingmon and kuwagamon and giving them massive burns.

"Not bad." said GeoGreymon as he swatted the three burned Digimon with his tail sending them flying.

"Now everyone attack while there down!" yelled the red warrior before useing an uncollapsed building to gain some mor height and use Pyro darts again.

"MAGMA BLAST!" "POWER METAL!" "PEPPER BREATH!" "PYRO SPHERE!" "GEO FLAME!" shouted Meramon, GeoGreymon and the three rookie Digimon pelting the downed Digimon with everything they had while Flamedramon used fire rocket and dashed into the enamy and jumped back to her original spot again as the blonde stranger landed only to feel something coil around him.

"Not so tough when you can't move, can you asshole!" Yelled the beaten and battered Weedmon as he his fellow recolours latched there vine arms around the blonde warrior and started cackling like a mad men.

"Damn it!" silently Lelouch under his breath before he, or rather his new body began to cover itself in fire as thought quickly flashed though his mind almost as if someone or something was trying to tell him something. It was an image well him ,or the old Agunimon spinning around and cratering a tornado of fire around himself to attack someone wearing blue and yellow beetle armor and sending them flying.

"Oh well, what have I got to loss?" he rhetorically asked himself as he copied what his vision showed him and began spinning clockwise and pulling the plant Digimon towards him while instinctually shouted "FIRE TORNADO!"

"What the!" Yelled RedVeggiemon as he, Veggiemon and Weedmon where pulled into the fiery vortex and began cooking alive before all three lost there grip and thrown into the wall of a ruined shop and landed in a pile seconds later as two rings of data began to spin around each of them respectively.

"Now! Do it now!" shouted a deep mature voice from the back of Lelouch's mind just a split second be before his entire body moved on it's own. By jumping into the air. 'What the hell is going on here!?' he yelled inside his own head as he was un able to use his own mouth as his fists caught fire before the left one transferred the fire from it on to the right, regaled back said arm and then shoot it forward bringing his arm down on them in a punching motion while yelling "BURNING SALAMANDER!"

"Rrrraaaaggghhhhh!" screamed the repaints of one another as the intense flames barbecued them alive before the burst into pixels and there data was absorbed by Lelouch's new body this making him noticeably stronger and Causeing what was left of the three stooges to turn back into Digieggs and be sent flying back to Nature Island effective imeadetly.

"Did you just see that?" shrieked Kabuterimon talking a step back in horror of his realisation of who the mystery Digimon was. "There's only one Digmon with those moves in existence! I-It's A-Agunimon. The warrior of flames!"

"No way. This guy is the Ultimate level Digimon from the old legends? The Agunimon, the ancient warrior of Fire Island?!" asked Kuwagamon shocked by the not so big revile as the defending Digimon watched on in awe.

"That's impossible, Agunimon died over four thousand years ago! There's no way this could be the same guy." Rashinalized Stingmon not believeing a single word either Kabuterimon or Kuwagamon where spewing out of the insect mouths.

'That's right. I'm not Lelouch Lamprouge or Lelouch Vi Britainia anymore. I'm a Digimon now, and not just any old Digimon either. I might as well go by that name from now on for conveyance sake. Besides it will make thing a whole lot easier then having to explain that I and my name came from the human.' Thought Lelouch, no… Agunimon to himself as he decided to go by the name of the Digimon he was brought back to life as from there on out. (He'll be referred to as Agunimon by all the other Digimon in this story unless stated other wise.)

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It certainly took you long enough to put two and to together. Seriously, could it be anymore odvious?" taunted Agunimon as he made four pyro darts appeared in his left hand. "And here I thought the armor would give it away."

"So what if you even are "Agunimon"? Water Islands warrior Digivolved into an exact copy of Rananamon the Ultimate level fo there Islands ancient warrior Fove years ago. For all we know you're probably just a second rate pirated copy of the original!" accused Okuwamon as a shadow covered Agunimon's face before he did something rather unexpected for someone in his situation. He started laughing (the laugh he did in episode two of the second season). Whether he was laughing at Okuwamon or something he said that sounded funny to the fire attribute Digimon we'll never know unless he tells us. "What's so funny you miserable little pile of kindling?! You find something I said amusing, hm?!"

"It's the fact that doubt my capabilities you poor stubborn fool." he chuckled darkly as he began to slowly walk towards Okuwamon. "Tell me, since Rananamon, was it, Digivolved from what ever Digimon they once where has anyone been able to get even one solider onto there Island?" he asked rhetorically with only a dangerous smile being what the four remaining attackers could see of his face.

"That has nothing to do with this! You're just trying confuse us!" deflected the oversized Kuwagamon trying to keep ever one of his remaining soldier/cannon fodder clam as he thought of an escape plan for himself.

"Be that as it may you still have not answered my question, Okuwamon was it? The very least you could do is humour me, right?" Agunimon continued to asked as the ground he stepped on started to burn beneath his feet.

"… I-I don't have to answer the likes of you, y-you… you cinder brained bafoon!" was Okuwamon's stutered and poor reply in the face of a supposed reincarnation of a liveing legend who was now a walking, talking inferno which did nothing for his or own remaining forces morale as they began to start stepping back out of fear of the blonde Digimon or as to not get burnt by his flames.

"Wow… And here I thought I was hot stuff?" punned the impressed and awestruck Meramon as the scene of the return of a legendary warrior's return unfolded before he and the rest of the fire attribute Digimon next to him.

Lelouch's plan, dispite being,ad up on the spot, was still a good one. He would use his new form of Agunimon agents them by intimidating them into submission or if that wasn't possible shack them to the core by useing his new power to surround himself in fire and take there will to fight from them. Needless to say it was working… for the most part that is.

"B-Boss! I-I don't think he's messing around here Okuwamon!" buzzed Stingmon who practically backed up into his superior officer as he was retreating from the heat of the intense flames being given off by Agunimon

"Oh shut your trap Stingmon, now man up and fight already!" backed Okuwamon as he hit Stingmon over his head and then pushed him out of the way. "Are you idiots really just going to stand there all day? There isn't a snowballs chance in hell that he's as powerful as he lets on! Kuwagamon! Kabuterimon! get him!" shouted Okuwamon desperately trying to keep his wits about him as he ordered the other larger of his lankies to attack the smaller Ultimate level Digimon.

"Yes, sir!" yelled Kuwagamon and Kabuterimon who where more afraid of what Okuwamon would do to them if they disobeyed a direct order as flew at Agunimon at top speed ready to attack.

"Tch! Pathetic." Was all Agunimon said (while Digimon OST Brave heart (English or original) started playing in the background) as he then struck the red one of the two over sized bugs in the face with a flame covered fist stopping him in his tracks before picking him up by the pincers with great difficulty and swung him around anti-clock wise a few dozen times before throwing him into the blue one causeing them to plummet to and hit the ground with a loud thud. (Remember Lelouch is an Ultimate up agenst two Champions, who had also sustained injuries from the earlier battle. What did you think was going to happen?)

"Hey you five!" He called out to the Defenders who where just watching from a distance. "are you gonna just sit there, or are you gonna take out those two morons for free data?" he rhetorically asked as then turned towards Okuwamon and started running towards him at full speed.

"Ouch!/My head hurts!" was all the duo of Kabuterimon and Kuwagamon siad before they where surrounded by the six Digimon the tried to delete earlier who all smiled at them menacingly before the where turned back into Digieggs and sent back to who knows where as the Data was evenly absorbed by the six victors with there last words being "Uh, oh!"

"Don't just stand there you idiot. Do something!" roared Okuwamon as he threw Stingmon in Agunimon's way.

"Why me!?" shrieked Stingmon as he hit the ground on his chin with hard and dull thud.

"Because I'm too important and handsome to die! That's why!" was Okuwamon's pathetic response as he tried to take off for safety and leave his only soldier behind.

"Oh, no you don't!" yelled Lelouch as he used Stingmon as a spring board and got close to Okuwamon. 'I have to time this just right!' he thought to himself as he then shouted "You're not going anywhere! BURNING SALAMANDER!" as he punched the cowardly insect Digimon square in the back at the base of his wings burning them all to a crisp.

"N-No way!? H-He actually managed to hurt the boss!?" exclaimed Stingmon as a sence of pure shock shot up his digital spine.

"Rrrraaaahhhhgggg!" screamed Okuwamon in unimaginable pain as he fell back down to the ground with a almost as painful thud. "Who dare you, an insignificant Fire Island dwelling piece of living trash touch me!" screamed the the inraged bug Digimon as he swiped at Agunimon with his claw and only barely scratching the paint on his armor. "Look at my beautiful wings! They're ruined because of you, you humanoid abomination!" he swiped at him again this time actually managing to land a hit on him and pin him to a half damaged wall. "Lets see get out of this one you shit flinging monkey!" he's area end at the warrior of fire before his claw burst into flames sending him stumbling back and clutching it in pain.

Agunimon used this chance to jump up high into the air and deliver a fire covered kick to Okuwamon's head which he then used to propel himself backwards and throw a few dozen Pryo Drats at the beasts face.

"My face! My beautiful, well proportioned, handsome face! Look at what you've done to it!" sera he'd Okuwamon as if Agunimon had committed the offence of the century and almost pricing everyone's eardrums while he was at it. "Grrrrrr! You'll pay for that you little red bastered!" Okuwamon used "SCISSOR ARMS!" on the offender wasn't able to dodge in time then changed at him, grabbed him with his good claw and slammed Agunimon into the ruined buildings around him repeatedly.

"You like that you son of a glitch!? Then have some more then! Haaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha!" Shouted Okuwamon his voice dripping with sarcasm as he continued to smash Agunimon into the rubble and what was left of the buildings of once beautiful settlement while laughing like a madman.

"FIRE TORNADO!" yelled Agunimon as he used said attack to free himself from the towering gaint stag beetles grasp. As soon as he landed on the ground rocketed Wright upward and delt a powerful upper cut to Okuwamon's lower jaw before gabbing on to one of his pincers and used it to swing up onto his opponents head and jump into the air with the sun directly over head. "Take this! PYRO DRATS!"

"Ggggaaaaaahhhhh!" roared the grey monster stag beetle as the attacks hit home and lighted him on fire. "I'm burning, I'm buuuurrrnnning!" he's screamed in uncontrollable pain as three rings of data began to orbit the live barbecue stag beetle like what happened to Veggiemon, RedVeggiemon, Weedmon, Kabuterimon and Kuwagamon not long ago.

"See you in hell, beetle boy!" announced Lelouch as both his fists lit on fire before he transferred the fire on his left hand to his right and rallied it back for His finishing move. "BURNING SLAMANDER!" he shouted as he sent the fist of intense fire hurdling straight towards the oversized stag beetle Digimon.

"Nooooooooooo! not like this! I'm too handsome to be dele…" was the last words ever Hurd from that Okuwamon before Agunimon's attack flew through his mouth and out the back of his head before he exploded into pixels and a Digiegg. The battle now won Agunimon collected his prise, Okuwamon's data. (the song ends be now.)

as he absorbed the fallen combatant's he felt it boost his stats even more then Veggiemon's, RedVeggiemon's and Weedmon's data ever did. 'So this is what it means to be a Digimon? At least who ever I fell in a fight doesn't truly die. That's one less thing to put Wight on my mind.' he thought to himself after he had absorbed all of Okuwamon's data. 'I just hope I don't end up as vain as he was.'

'I-I-It really is him, Agunimon! I-I have to get out of here before he…' panicked Stingmon as he tryed to sneak away only to stop as a red armored foot stops down on his back.

"And where do you think you're going, bee boy?" Agunimon snarled down at the bug Digimon who looked up to see who hade there foot on his back.

"No! Please, don't hurt me! I-I'll tell you anything j-just don't delete me, I'm begging you!" pleaded the cowering Stingmon as he tryed to squirm out from under Lelouch's foot only for said human turned Digimon to applied more pressure. A painfully amount of pressure.

"Flamedramon? I assume you and your friends want to interrogate him and find out why they where sent to attack your homes?" asked the heavily injured Agunimon as he looked at said armor level Digimon out of the corner of his eye. "If not, I can just delete him and…" he added manifesting a fire dart in between his thumb and index finger causing Stingmon to shriek in terror and desperately try to crawl away before it was to late only for Flamedramon to knock him out by stomping on his head.

"No,no it's fine. We'll take him off your hands, so just put the uh… fire bullet or whatever you called it away." said Flamedramon with her hands out in front of her as Agunimon made the dart disappear.

"There called Pyro darts, not flame bullets. That just sounds stupid." he corrected he as he removed his foot from the out cold Stingmon's back.

"Yeah… sorry about getting you caught up in this mess and about what I said to you earlier." the she Flamedramon apologiesd as she picked Stingmon up and carried him over her shoulder with a surprising amount of ease.

"It's alright. I would have done the same in your place too." Lelouch waved off her apology as his vision started to fuzz up on him. 'Damn it!' He mentally swore as he brought a hand to his forehead and started swaying on his feet a little.

"Hey,kid! You Okay there? you're not looking to good." asked the elderly GeoGreymon out of concern.

"Looks like Okuwamon did more damage to me then I exsepcted. I'm… I'm just gonna lie down for a bit…" answered Agunimon/Lelouch as he fell to the ground with a thud.

"God damn it, not another one! Ugh… Geo. give me a hand would you?" asked Flamedramon after audibly sighing.

"It would be me honour to help out a pretty young lass such as yourself Flamedramon." GeoGreymon voiced his agreement as he walked over and carefully picked Agunimon up in his claws.

"Yeah, yeah. Just help me get these two back to camp already." growned the she Flamedramon who was not in the mood for her old friend's antics as the set off for camp.
