Return of the Digital Princess

Chapter 5 Island of Misfit Kids

Kiari, Koji, Takuya and Tommy were sliding down a tunnel until they reached the end of it and fell into a giant ball pit. They got out of the ball pit and started to look around for Zoey and the others.

"Keep your eyes peeled for Zoey and the others guys." Takuya noticed a flying red robot flying nearby. "Maybe that flying guy has seen them."

"Hey! A flying toy robot!" Tommy started running after the toy robot with Takuya running after him while Kiari and Koji just stood where they were. "Come on!"

"I don't know which one of them is worse."

"Well they're not that bad. After all, they did help fight against Grumblemon." Kiari started to walk after Takuya and Tommy until she noticed that Koji was still standing there. "Is something wrong, Koji?"

"So I guess you can spirit evolve now that you've found your spirit." Koji was looking down at the ground as Kiari started walking towards him. "Looks like you might not need me to protect you if anything bad happens."

"Koji, even though I can now spirit evolve doesn't mean that I don't need you to be there to protect me if I ever get into any trouble. What I'm trying to say is that when we're fighting against our enemies, I might need you to watch my back." Kiari and Koji continued walking until they caught up with Takuya and Tommy. "Hey guys. Did you find that flying toy robot?"

"Not yet, but we did find these neat toys to play with." Tommy picked up a toy car and started playing with it. "You guys should try playing with them."

"We don't have time to play around. We have to find Zoey and the others. Maybe if we start heading to the Forest Terminal, we'll meet up with them there." Kiari, Koji, and Takuya started walking to look around. "There has to be someone around here who can give us directions to the Forest Terminal."

"Hey guys, check this out." Kiari, Koji, and Takuya looked back at Tommy and saw that he was holding a green balloon and a toy pig. "Watch this."

Tommy pushed to toy pig's snout as it made some pig sounds. Kiari found it funny and laughed a bit. They saw a train track nearby as a train big enough to carry them rode down the tracks. They ran after the train and quickly got on. They rode the train down the track when Takuya noticed a large walking teddy bear.

"Maybe that giant walking teddy bear can give us directions to the Forest Terminal." Takuya, Koji, Kiari, and Tommy got off the toy train and ran up to the giant teddy bear. "Hey buddy! Wait up!"

Unfortunately for Takuya, when he was arm's-length away from the teddy bear it grabbed him and threw him down on the ground. The teddy bear mentioned about it still being the champion and that it was time to start Round 2 of whatever game it thinks they're playing. Takuya quickly got up as he, Koji, Kiari, and Tommy started running away from it and hid in a giant pirate ship. The ship started to sway back and forth as Takuya and Koji hung onto the sides of the boat while Kiari and Tommy hung on to the ship's mast.

"Whose idea was it was to hide on this crazy thing?" The ship started to sway forward and caused Kiari to lose her grip and start falling towards the back side of the ship until Koji grabbed her wrist. "Don't worry, I got you. Just hang on."

Kiari held Koji's wrist while Koji was holding onto hers as he pulled her up to the side of the ship so she can grab onto it. Kiari hung onto the side of the ship, but lost her grip when the ship started to sway back, causing Kiari to fall into Koji's arms. They started to blush since their faces were almost close enough to make them kiss, but were lucky that the boat started to slow down before coming to a halt.

"Are you guys okay?" Takuya and Tommy walked over to Koji and Kiari and saw the position they were in. "Wow. I didn't know you guys were that close."
