Chapter 7 - "Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo"

 

"I know this is no day at the beach Joe, but that's no reason to be a worrywart about it and make all your friends unhappy. Pardon the pun, but chill out. Only you have a problem with the cold. Right guys? Everyone think warm." Gomamon said as the group walked through the forest.

"I'm allergic to fur." Joe whined as Gomamon and Gabumon laughed as they walked along.

The temperature had dropped and most of the group were cold and rubbing their arms to try and keep warm.

"Aw, come on you guys. The cold isn't that terrible." Tai smiled as TK, Patamon, Mimi, Palmon, Serena and Impmon looked at him in disbelief.

"Perhaps not if you're a polar bear or a penguin." Izzy said with a grimace.

"Yeah, but if it snows, we'll throw some snowballs." Tai winked.

"And make snowmen." Mimi smiled.

"Who do ya think Snowmon is?" Gomamon asked Gabumon.

"A digimon from their planet." Gabumon suggested.

"It's difficult to explain." Izzy said.

"Well, if it's edible, count me in." Tentomon said.

"No, the best thing about snowballs is that you can throw them at each other. It's a fun game that we play in the winter months." Izzy smiled down at him.

"You throw food?" Tentomon asked his human feeling stunned.

"We could even build a snow fort." Matt said.

"You'll need one." Tai challenged.

"I bet I could beat you both blindfolded." Sora joined in.

"I'll take that bet." Kol said with a smile.

Everyone was excited now, but Joe was standing off to the side as he looked down, feeling a bit upset.

"I want to build an igloo." TK said.

"I'll help if you tell me what it is." Palmon offered.

"An igloo sounds scrumptious to me." Tentomon commented.

"Too bad they're not edible." Izzy said.

"Hey, Kol, what is an igloo? It sounds funny to me." Leormon said as he stood beside his human.

"An igloo is a house made out of house." Kol explained.

"People actually live in those things?" the dragon asked with a confused expression.

"Come on, get serious. It'll be horrible if it started snowing right now." Joe spoke up making everyone look at him.

"Lighten up a little, Joe. We're just trying to look on the positive side of things." Sora walked over to him.

"Bleh." Joe groaned.

"Hey Tai, when's it gonna snow?" TK asked excitedly.

"Probably any second now." Tai answered.

"Right on Joe's head." Matt joked.

"That'd be so funny." TK said.

"I can't wait to see his face." Tai grinned.

"If the temperature drops any lower than it is already, we won't be able to camp out any more. We'll be frozen digi-treats." Joe said.

Izzy, TK, Tai and Matt were laughing while Joe frowned in annoyance at the fact that no one was listening.
