"Garurumon"

So after we all were attacked by Shellmon we were all just standing on top of a cliff for some odd reason, which seemed stupid to me considering the luck we have with them so far.

"Yo, Agumon." Tai said.

"What's up, Tai?" Agumon asked walking over.

"I like it when you're Greymon, and no offense, but why don't you stay that way?" my brother asked.

"I can't. But even super heroes need their rest." Agumon joked.

Tai sighed at that and then lost his balance since he was standing too close to the cliff and Agumon grabbed his shorts, making him flail his arms and one leg around making us all laugh at how funny he looked.

We were all cut off by a roar and some rocks were destroyed by a black and white dinosaur that looked like a…triceratops I think it was called.

What is with this place and dinosaurs, they're supposed to be extinct.

Who's that digimon?" asked Izzy.

"It's a Monochromon, but don't worry about him. He's a laid-back digimon." Tentomon assured.

"But it would be wise to be cautious of them. They came be quite miffed when they are hungry." the lady bug said.

"Then he must be starving, because he looks really mad!" Tai said.

"And I think he wants to eat us!" cried Mimi.

Monochromon started walking over to us, growling and we all stood our ground, but were surprised when we heard another growl from behind us and turned to see another one there.

Seriously, this is not funny.

"There's two of them!" Joe cried.

"We're stuck between a rock and two sets of teeth!" Matt said.

The two dinosaurs charged at each other, so we all dived down behind the large boulders that were thankfully behind us and just watched as they fought.

"Something must have set those Monochromon off." Tai said as he peered from behind the boulder.

"They're fighting over territory." Tentomon explained.

"They can just have it then!" Palmon ran off.

"Hey, don't leave without me!" Mimi ran after her and everyone else followed.

"They definitely don't need us hanging around!" Tai panted.

I heard someone trip and looked back to see that TQ had tripped and Matt was kneeling down by him to help him up.

"Hey, you OK?" I called running over as TS got back up on his own two feet.

"Better hurry up, you guys!" I heard my brother call back to us.

"OK, we're coming!" TE said as he ran beside me, V-Mon and Patamon close by.

As we ran I heard more growling and what sounded like a splash and really hoped that meant that those Monochromon threw themselves off the cliff.

I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I'd rather not be dino dinner.

(Later)

We were all still walking and the sun was starting to go down.

I was tired, hungry and really just wanted to pass out right now and from the looks of it, I wasn't the only one.

"I don't walk this much unless I am at a mall, and as you can see, we're nowhere near one!" she complained as she put her head on a tree.

"Mimi, stop whining." Tai said as he walked pass her.

"No! My feet hurt!" the girl complained.

"Maybe if you take off your boots and socks, you'd feel better, Mimi, it's much more practical, I think." Agumon offered.

"I'm not walking in dirt in my bare feet!" she exclaimed looking at him with an 'are you crazy?' type of look.

"I love the feel of dirt under my feet, especially between my toes!" Palmon said.

"Gross!" Mimi yelled and Palmon sat on the ground.

"It appears we may be losing our light source." Izzy said, looking at the darkening sky.

"What a weird sunset." Sora said.

"This whole island is weird! And who knows what will come out at night." Izzy said.

"Wait, I detect water! Stay here while I check it out." Tentomon flew off.

"Yes, as usual, I'm right! It's a lake with fresh clean water and a variety of tasty fish! The perfect campsite!"

"Maybe I can finally soak my poor, achy feet!" Mimi said as she sat down next to TS.

"Yay, we get to swim!" Gomamon cheered, but he was held back from going to the lake by Joe grabbing his tail.

"Gomamon, you better wait to make sure it's safe first!" Joe said.

"That's why I think we should start walking and stop all the complaining." Matt said, noticing how worn out his brother was.

"Everybody's hungry, we have to find some food." Tai said.

"That is a good plan. I like that plan a lot." Joe said.

We all walked over to the place Tentomon had seen and we saw that there was a lake and a forest circled it, the sunset turning the water red, orange and purple.

"It should be safe to rest here tonight." Biyomon said.

"Yeah, I love camping outside!" Sora said.

"Me too!" I said.

"If I won't walk in dirt, what makes you think I sleep in it?" Mimi complained.

"Mimi, do you see a hotel around here?" Tai asked.

"Look!" she gasped.

Everyone turned to look where she was pointing and saw a trolley car light up.

"What's that?" Tai asked.

"It looks like a trolley car." TK said.

"That's odd! The lights just...came on!" Izzy said.

"Well, maybe there are some real people in there." Sora said.

"Let's check it out!" Tai ran towards it, Agumon following.

"Maybe it can take us back home! In air conditioned comfort!" Mimi panted as she ran ahead and went into the car.

"Mimi, wait up!" Tai yelled as the girl ran a head and went in with Palmon.

"Bummer, its empty!" my goggle headed brother said.

"Totally empty." Sora chimed in.

"No trolley car is this clean." Izzy stated as he looked at the floors.

"Oh, goody, these cushions are comfy." Mimi said, seating in one of the seats.

"Something's wrong. Remember those weird phone booths we saw on the beach? Something just as freaky could happen here." Tai said.

"Yeah, like it suddenly moving by itself." Joe said sitting in the driver's seat, Biyomon in front of the windshield looking in at him.

"Possibly, then again, maybe that's our only way of getting home." Tai said.

"So we have nothing to lose by staying here." Sora smiled as she sat down.

"Can we eat now?" Tentomon groaned from his seat next to her.

"That's right, I forgot." Tai said.

Everyone went off to complete a different chore to get ready to eat.

Izzy , TZ and me were fishing, or at least trying to with Gomamon swimming in the water.

"Gomamon, stop playing in the water! I can't catch any fish if you keep warning them away!" Izzy complained.

"I don't think he's listening." I said as he didn't stop.

"Hey, pal, can ya at least lead the fish over here?" V-Mon asked.

"Sure." Gomamon said and then dived into the water and then we saw a school of fish, perch I think, swimming over to Izzy's hook.

"Wow, great idea, V-Mon." TA said.

Soon enough, we each had an armful of fish and ran over to where Tai, Matt, Sora and Agumon were to show off how much we had caught.

"Hey, look-it!" TK called.

"We caught a bunch of fish!" Izzy said.

"Awesome, Izzy, Dai, let's eat 'em!" Tai said as he took some of the fish we had.

"Thanks, Squirt!" Matt said, taking a fish from TJ, who laughed at the praise.

"This is where I wish we had a microwave." Tai muttered dangling the fish above the fire.

"Me too, because you're about to lose your fingers! Why don't you use a stick?" Matt said walking over and stuck a stick with a fish on it by the fire to cook.

"How did you come up with that, Matt?" he asked the blond.

"Because I'm the man." Matt said.

"And he's not dumb." I chirped innocently making my brother shoot me a look as Matt smirked and V-Mon giggled.

Later on everyone started eating, enjoying the food and I was starving so I think that just made the food taste even better.

"This is surprisingly good!" Tentomon said as he nibbled on a melon with Biyomon and V-Mon and I ate our fish.

"Mm-mm, delicious!" Izzy said as he munched on his fish.

"Matt, Mom only lets me eat fish sticks." TA said as he stared at the fish in his hands.

"I won't tell." Matt said.

"I never eat with my fingers." TA said.

"TK, it's all right." Matt said it looked like Mr. Cool was losing his cool.

"Yeah, you're hangin' with the big boys, now. And look at Dai. She's fine with it." Tai said looking over at me and I waved.

"Yo." I said playfully making V-Mon chuckle.

"OK." TL said and he started eating the fish.

I saw my brother walk off to where Sora was gathering some water and wondered what they were talking about.

Pretty soon, I heard someone yawning and turned to see it was Patamon as my blue dragon fell onto my shoulder, snoring.

"Ah, look, Patamon's tired." TK said as the orange hamster curled up to sleep.

I also saw that Palmon and Gomamon were snoozing together.

"I'm getting really tired myself." Tai yawned as he stretched.

"Wait a minute; I think we should each take turns standing guard." Izzy said.

"All right, who wants to go first?" Joe asked.

"How about if each of us guards for about an hour?" Tai asked.

"Not TK." Matt said standing up.

"Ah, come on, me too, Matt!" TK said standing up and held onto his brother's green shirt.

"No, you're too young and you need your rest." Matt said.

"I'm getting cold. I need a warm blanket to help me sleep." Mimi said trying to change the subject.

"Hey, Gabumon. Watch it, Mimi may sneak up on you and steal your fur." Tai said in a creepy way making Gabumon step back, freaked out.

"So if you feel a little tug, it might be her about to cut your tail off!" Tai said as he held onto Gabumon's fur.

"Stop, Tai, that's not funny." Gabumon said running away as my brother laughed.

"Quit it!" Matt said pushing Tai back.

"What are you buggin' about?" Tai asked and the digimon woke up as they sensed the tension in the air, Patamon sitting on TK's shoulder and V-Mon was standing beside me.

"Gabumon told you to stop, so knock it off!" Matt said.

"Hey, you can't tell me what to do!" Tai said and he and Matt grabbed each other by the shirt collars.

"You guys, stop fighting!" TK yelled.

"This isn't a good influence on us younger kids, ya know!" I pointed out as I stood beside TK and our brothers looked over at us before they turned away from each other, frowning with their arms crossed.

Jeez, I hope TK and I never act like that.

"You'd both make great guards. Who goes first?" Joe asked.

"I will." Tai said turning to him.

"I'm next." Matt stated turning to Joe too making everyone relax.

"How about if Izzy takes over after that and I finish up the night? I propose that the rest of us trek back to the bus and get some shut eye." Joe said.

"Yay!" V-Mon and I cheered as we both ran off to the car, TK and Patamon following us.

We all settled down in the seats as our digimon slept on a leaf pile on the floor.

"I can't sleep with all of you here." Mimi whined.

"Quit complaining. So, it's not perfect, just be glad we have a place to sleep." Sora said as I sat next to her.

"That's right, Mimi." Izzy said.

"Good night." Joe said.

"Don't let the Monochromon bite." TK said making me giggle.

The guy has some humour, great.

We all laid down to sleep and I looked over to see that Matt was sitting far off from us and had Gabumon come over and sleep with TK to keep him warm.

"Thanks, Matt." TK said as he looked over at his brother who looked away with a blush on his face.

Aw, Mr. Cool is a softy after all!

I just cuddled up on the seat and tried to fall asleep, but I was having a hard time.

Soon enough I gave up and walked out to see that Tai was by the fire with Agumon and then heard some harmonica music, so I looked over to see Matt was playing.

"Dai, what cha doin' up?" V-Mon asked as he rubbed his eyes and came up beside me with Gabumon.

"I couldn't sleep." I said.

I tilted my head as I listened to the lone wolf play his music and then walked over to where he was and the two digimon followed me.

"What a wonderful sound." Gabumon said as he bobbed his head.

"I didn't know you could play." I said as I sat down beside him making him stop and look at me confused.

"Daisuke, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Same as you, I guess. Couldn't really sleep." I shrugged with a smile.

Matt shook his head at that and then looked over where Tai was.

"Hey, Daisuke, can I ask you a question?" he asked.

"Uh, sure." I said.

"What's it like…having Tai as a brother?" he asked.

I gave him a shocked look, wondering why he was asking me this.

"Well, he's not perfect, but I guess not all brothers and sisters have that kinda relationship. Anyone that says they do is probably the biggest liar ever. Tai, Kari and I get along most of the time, but there are times we argue. Kari and I normally double team him half the time, that's fun." I said with a laugh.

"But how is he a good brother?" Matt asked.

"Well, I guess he's a good brother when he's…just around I guess. He tries to be my friend and then acts like a brother. He tries to look after us and that's what matters the most. That he's trying." I said and looked over at Matt to see some sort of unfamiliar look on his face.

"So what'd ya wanna know that for?" I asked.

He cleared his throat and shook his head.

"No special reason." He said and then went back to playing his harmonica.

OK, this guy is weird.

Just the land started to shake and some sort of large water snake came out of the water.

"Oh no!" Matt said standing up.

"Oh, come on!" I groaned in annoyance.

This is the fourth time today!

"Dai, be careful. That's Seadramon and he's a very bad guy. He's even meaner than Shellmon and that's saying a lot." V-Mon warned.

Seadramon then pulled the island away from where we were and we watched as the digimon fought, but Agumon couldn't digivolve this time and we were doomed.

"TK!" Matt yelled diving into the water and swimming after the island.

Gabumon jumped in and swam after him and V-Mon and I watched as Matt swam over and TK fell into the water when Seadramon whacked the island.

"TK!" I yelled in worry.

"Dai, stay here. It's not safe." V-Mon said taking hold of my arm when he saw me step towards the water.

Gomamon dived in and swam back up with TK on his back, safe.

Matt then swam over to Seadramon making the giant water lizard go after him as Gomamon took TK back to the island.

I screamed in worry when Matt was dragged down by Seadramon's tail and was then tied up in it.

"Uh oh. This is very bad. When Seadramon his prey wrapped up, he won't let go no matter what." V-Mon said.

"Oh, this sucks. I wish some sort of miracle would happen." I said with tears of worry in my eyes.

Just then, Matt's gizmo started glowing and Gabumon was covered in white light and he then transformed into a large blue wolf.

"Whoa, who is that?" I asked amazed.

"That's Garurumon and now Seadramon's got his tail fins full." V-Mon said as Garurumon got into a fight and the wolf was the one who won, making us all cheer.

Seadramon went back down into the water and Gabumon returned to the island and Gomamon used his fishes to bring the island back over to where we stood.

"TAI!" I yelled running over to him.

"Daisuke!" he laughed when I jumped on him and he swung me around in a hug.

"You OK?" he asked me.

"I'm good." Said to him when he set me down and then I turned to Matt.

"Dude, you were so awesome out there!" I said to him.

"Thanks." He said with a blush.

"Great job." V-Mon said patting Gabumon's back.

"Thanks." Gabumon said.

Soon enough the sun rose and I finally fell asleep against my brother as everyone talked.

Man, this is some adventure we're on.

I know I'm going to regret this, but; I wonder what's gonna happen next?
