We all screamed as we plummeted off the cliff, as if it would save us from a bone-shattering doom.

"FISHES!" someone yelled, and we looked at him with the same, 'Are you CRAZY?'  look that the others had given me about 2-3 chapters ago. You know, when I yelled what might've been my last words and got the most unamused looks ever? Yeah, that look.

Miraculously, when someone said "FISHES!" an ACTUAL school of fishes rose to the surface and somehow did not collapse under the combined weight of, like, TEN kids. Something is very fishy about this.

We all floated down the river on our DIY raft, relieved that we were all still alive and for some reason hadn't broken our necks or even gotten very hurt at all from falling off a cliff. Like I said; MEGA fishy.

"Gomamon, did you do that?" asked... Mo? Toe? I dunno?

...

Whaddaya mean his name is Jo? OBVIOUSLY it is Ho.

Anyway, Mr Santa Claus over there asked a question, and Gomamon(?) answered.

"Nah; it's lucky those fish were having a school reunion!" I'm not sure whether to be impressed at the pun or indignant at his encroaching on my turf. I make the corny jokes around here, thank you very much! Anyway, "I'm just kidding, it was totally me! Aren't I awesome?"

"Yeah," you weren't supposed to answer him MK(?) you idiot, "you really saved our lives back there!"

While they were having their little dialogue, we whooshed along faster than sarcasm flies over idiot people's heads. AKA light speed. Within the blink of an eye we were standing on a beach and the fish had disappeared. Seriously; I blinked and opened my eyes in an entirely different place.

We had a little sequence of introductions, but Imma just... skim over that...

We all already know Taichi and Sora, the two dangerous criminals accused of pencilcide, right? Right. The others were Pink-Hat-girl who I called Vivi but is apparently trying to tell us her name is Mimi, Glasses-boy Ho, Tiny-child MK who lied and said his name is TK, Frisk who unfairly got the better version of the little creatures, Mr Cool-guy Natto, Super-nerd-guy-with-the-pineapple-computer, and the FABULOUS Chara, ME!*strikes pose*

Just then, we all heard a loud ringing. Why did everyone run to what was probably a trap? I dunno, but I forgot my resolution to never follow the others again and... well. Followed the others again. The ringing was coming from a long row of phone booths on a beach.

Fishiness to the EXTREME.

"Alright! Let's order some food; I'm so hungry I could eat a house!"

We all rushed towards the phone booths, dialling number after number in hopes of finding a fast food place or Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. No one remembered the bag of emergency food that, looking back on it, was actually being carried by Ho the entire time. In case you can't tell, I'm face-palming right now.

No matter what we tried, we couldn't get the phones to work. They all spouted weird nonsense, and made no mentions of any kind of food until...

"To call a pizza, press one now. To preserve your lives, please duck now. Duck. Seriously, duck. DUCK!"

I followed the phone booth's instructions, and narrowly avoided getting my head taken clean off my neck. Soon, everyone else was shot at, destroying the phone booths and prompting us to run away from whatever it was.

"GROARH!!!"

A giant pink shellfish thingummy roared loudly at us and splurted everything with water. Wow, so usef--- HOLY CHOCOLATE! Yeah, we better run for it.
