"Hi, Shojo!" Coral waved Shojomon a hello, pinning the thingy that's apparantly called a digidevice by her waist. It took her a while to figure out that Digimon can come in any look, from cuddly plushies to cool ninga. I wonder what mine partner will look like. "Oh my god. That means you lost all your memories. " She gasped adn looked at Jayten sympathetically, fidgeting as she tried to think of something that would cheer him up. "If Shojo knows your name, then she must know something else about you, too." A question mark appeared on her head as her mind raced. "Mmm, how did you know his name?"

Coral gazed at the three digimon and human partners, imaginning how happy they must feel when they finally met their partner. It's like becoming instant buddies right after you come into a new place. She stood up, finding herself seeing more other small figures of digimons in her view. "I can't wait to meet mine partner." Shojomon's comment only made her chuckled, giving the new guy a shrug to show that she didn't mind. "Hehe. I get that a lot. Are you two siblings?" The dynamics between them suggested Coral that. For a moment she wondered what the meant by digidevice, then she realized that they coudl be talking about the thingy she got. When the light blue device was pulled out, a dot appeared brieftly on the corner of the screen and dissapeared.

She expected it? Coral's eyes rested on one face to another until they gazed down to the ground. Everybody here semed to be knowing why they came here, like they signed up for it, but she didn't have a clue about what was going to happen. She cluctched her arm, tilting her head down that her hair covered her eyes. "I didn't know that I would be coming here... or the kind of people I will meet. I was supposed to be in a summer camp...This... This..." Her melancholy mumbling ended up in a high note as she looked up with a bright smile, her eyes shone. "This is pretty cool! It's so nice meeting you guys." Coral crouched down on her feet and lightly stroke the bunny-like digimon on the ears. "My digimon should be waiting for me? But... I never told him-or her, that I am coming. How do you know we are coming?"

Coral scooted a little to balance Dorumon's weight in her arms, her eyes widen when she saw rows of sharp teeth in his mouth. Nevertheless, she shrugged and smiled after Leon and Dorumon's introductions. "Hi, I am Coral. Are they your...talking... pets?" Looking back and forth between the Digimons and their human partners, she started to feel a little dizzy. The idea of this not being a dream slowly sank into her mind as she held a blank stare to the horizon. "You mean...this is real? All real?" Like a lightning suddenly struck her, Coral dropped Dorumon out of shock. "Then, where are we? We... we are not in the afterlife, are you?"

"You can talk." Coral beamed, amazed by the elegant, yellow fox. Something furry brushed against her face. At first, she guessed it was a dog, then she saw its large claws and small talons. She gasped "A dinosaur puppy!" and held it up close for a nuzzle with her nose. Not too surprised by talking animals now, she lightly scratched the creature behind his ears "Ok, let's play. Do you want to play catch? What do you want to play?" Before she walked off to find a stick, Coral heard another voice and casually answered, "I am Coral." Three seconds later, she jumped and turned to face the person. "Oh my god, you are a human. Sorry, I thought everybody in my dream will be like creatures, but you are not. Are you okay?"

Coral was about to head down the hill when she spotted something yellow and white coming toward her way among the woods. "Ah, people!" Squinting her eyes to make out the other figures, she beamed. Hurriedly she skidded down and hopped forward to give the yellow fox a big hug excitedly. This was her dream anyway, so it didn't matter if there were monsters in it, especially cute and cool ones. "So there really are foxes in Japan? I remember they are called kitsune, but I never thought I will get to meet one.", squealed Coral.

Dissapointedly Coral looked up at the blue sky when no replies came back, her shoulder slumped. Oh, well... That means I got all the time to look around. A bright smile lit up on her face as she walked up the hill. I can probably see the whole place once I reach the top. Once arriving on the destination, she let go of her footing and dropped onto her back. The grass was soft underneath her, almost luring her into sleep. Another idea hit her. "Maybe...maybe I am in the wilderness. I always want to do a survival in my whole life." She sat up in excitement, imagining all the funs she could have, until a house by the lake caught her attention. "Oh... Hehe. Maybe not."

Reaching the top of the ravine, Coral stuck her head out to look down at where she was a few mintues ago. Her knees instantly weakened underneath her as she found out how high she had climbed. "I really climbed this? Wow, that was so scary." Quickly she stepped away with shivers running down her spine, heading into the forest. Unlike what she expected, not a single bug or bird did she see at this place. Stumbling through the forest with flipflops on, Coral was suddenly self-conscious about how alone she seemed in this world. I have to find people. Maybe I got washed away from San Diego and... ended up in Japan! "Hello~! Is there anybody there? Uhh...how do you say hi in Japanese? " She called out.

Hearing Fluttershy's instruction, Hurl looked down to see the Timber wolves' feet. All he saw were long, dangerous claws, not hooves. "Are they ponies? Is that why you can understand them?" Bandages, bandages, bandages... Ah! "There was a guy who had bandages to wrap Lark up. Maybe he had some.", suggested the small griffon, searching for his figure among the others. With one sweeping look, he was confused about why so many pegasus suddenly gathered up.

"This place is so pretty." Coral gasped in awe, looking up at the ravine over her head. "I didn't know this place is near our summer camp." Keeping her head above the water, she relaxed and thought about how she got here. One moment ago she was diving into the water, the next thing she saw was a portal made of light opened up beneath the water and sucked her in. When the current stopped, she held her breath and swam upward to reach the surface, ending up where she was now. Her attention was brought back to reality when her blue flip-flops floated by. In a couple strokes, she reached them and stepped up to the riverside. The device-thingy, which fell from the sky and dropped into water, casuing her to jump into the sea at the first place, was shoved into her pocket. Too excited to worry, Coral bounced up the path leading up. "Ok, time to explore!", cheerfully she chuckled. If this was a dream, she never wanted to wake up.

"I am not going anywhere.", answered Hurl defensively, fluffing his feathers. "Fine... I guess it is okay." Fluttershy's decision convinced the small griffon to follow, though he, tail lashing and talons curling, looked like he was ready to jump on the Timber wolves any moment if they were going to bite the ponies' heads off.

"Did I just hear somebody saying we need something from some trees in order to treat the wounds caused by other trees?", questioned Melon, shooting a daunting look over his shoulder. With his eyes rolling at the sky, he turned back to watch the perimeter. "Talking about irony." Treating wounds or not, he wanted a rest and called it a day, but definitly not here. It was chaotic when they got attacked by trees, but now it was just too quiet. Again he chipped away a piece of ice and ate it, for it was the closet thing to water. How many of us will still remain at the end of this?

Melon let out a breath when the commotions stopped, finding the place to be creepily quiet. Scooping up a hoofful of ahes, he examined it before letting it drift away with the breeze. "We sure are a notorious bunch. Even the forest itself doesn't welcome us here." Then he clicked his hoof against the frozen trees, chipping away a piece of ice. It melt quickly in his mouth, providing the moisture he needed. "You should be starting to hope those thorns are not poisonous.", noted Melon easy-goingly, standing guard not too far away from the group.

Melon was annoyed when realized he would probably never be able to live it down since Lockhart kept bringing the matter up. Laying the pony with gold-brown mane down in the center of the clearing. Althought most of the trees, except for one, had been taken care of by Ice Storm, he didn't think it was safe for the fact ice melt. They could use something more aggressive. "Is your head really as empty as a skull?" His right hoof stomped at the ground a couple of times before pointed forward to the ice-covered trees. "Fire!", ordered Melon in a shout.

Hurl wasn't too sure about this, looking at the timber wolves with suspicion and confusion. "Help?" Cocking his head, he gave the closest wolf an eagle glare. "Urr, how do you know that they hurt their paw? Are you a wolf?" In a few leaps, Hurl rushed in front of Lark to stop him from advancing closer to the pack. "Don't go! What if... what if they are pretending and wanting to tear us apart?!" He mimicked and slashed the air in front of him.

"Eat us?!" Hurl looked at Lark in horror, suddenly realizing that inviting these timber-whatever over sounded like a terrible idea. Or maybe it was really bad idea. At first, he wanted to run away as fast as he could, but he changed his mind after watching a sky-blue pony flied away and Fluttershy not only standing her ground, but also seemed quite eager. I am not going to run away like a coward. "Uh... Fluttershy doesn't seem to be scared...so?" More brown, bark-like heads appeared behind the bushes, having the younglings completly surrounded. Hurl took one solemn look and said matter-of-factly, "Gosh, they look ugly."

Melon held up his hooves before his face, bracing himself for impact as the tree branch whipped down on him. Instead of feeling the numbing pain, he saw brown-golden mane flying over him and was pushed to the side. Slamming his hooves down, he stopped and looked at the pony's limp figure. "Taking the hit... Are you too bored or something?" Melon sighed with frustration, taking out his plan b from his pouch as the living trees close in on them from all sides. Smokes erupted when he threw down the smoke bomb. In two leaps, he bit onto the pony's mane and threw him onto his back. Seeing the ground underneath him covered in a huge shaodw, he looked up and saw a huge tree falling right on top of him. Oh, yeah, trees don't have eyes. Skidding into a halt, Melon quickly darted left, galloped through the fog and crashed straight into Lockhart.

"Timber-what?", asked Hurl, scrutinizing his eyes at the darkest part of the forest. The howl's echoes rang in Hurl's ears. It looked like the forest wasn't as empty as he imagined. He raised his beak and mimicked, "Arrrrwwwoooooo~", listening to the responds. "Hey, it sounds like the howls are getting closer and closer."

Turning his attention on Lark, Hurl flicked off another acorn, which hit the tree and took the same pass again. "But if we are patient, we won't be able to get anywhere.", argued the griffon, his amber eyes trailed across the bandages. "At least they will have something, whatever medicines up there that will make you feel better. " Bored to a degree, he began to play acorns like he was playing marbles. His tail curled up when he heard a heartfreezing howl sounded from the deepest part of the forest. "What was that? A dog?", excitedly he asked.

The shadow darken and came forth, breaking through thick fog to strike. Melon, spreading his legs beneath him, ducked down and built up power in his muscles before he darted off like a bullet toward the tree. Spinning once in midair, he kicked at the tree hard with his hind leg. When it barely budged, roots holding on firmly to the ground, the sea blue pony rotated again for another kick. "Tsk." Something whooshed behind him. The next thing he knew he was slamming onto the ground. Out of the corner of his eyes, the whipping branch threw back high into the air, preparing another strike.

"That will take days~ Aaahhh~~~", grumbled Hurl, lying on his back like a big cat and rolling away from them, then rolling back again. He pointed out frankly, his talon flicked away an acorn, which hit off the tree and bounced over Lark's head. "And I believe Fluttershy can fly. She just has to be more confident at herself, that's all. Don't you want to believe her? "

"Ok, let's wait.", agreed Hurl, sitting down on his haunches. He looked left and right, scraped his talons against the bark, and nibbled on his chest feathers. Soon he couldn't toleratate the boredom anymore. Like a cat he flipped onto his back and rolled, complaining, "Aaahh. I am sooo bored! I want to get my wing fixed! When are we going to get out of here?" Finally he couldn't wait any longer. A single puff of cloud drifted not too far away from the tree top. Hurl gave Fluttershy a nudge and pointed at the cloud. "Fluttershy, why don't you go up that and bring the cloud over here? "

The sudden hug caught Melon off guard. Rolling his eyes at the sky in disbelief, he threw his hooves up beside him at shoulder level. "I might have saved your life?", asked him slowly, a small smile appeared on his face. Heavy fog surrounded them, covering his vision with ghost white. Thinking that the pony had enough, Melon pushed him away to a reasonable distance before he headed away. "Well, you know what will save mine? Just stop...shaking your saxophone like that ...It isn't going to scare any pony, you know." Melon turned his head to focus on retracing his steps back to the others, not noticing the huge shadow looming over him on his right. A whipping branch, parting the thick fog, clubbed down over him. Quickly he leaped into the air and watched it bounced on the ground below. Like a slithering snake it drew back and disappeared into the fog. "What the mane was that?", shouted Melon. The most important thing of all, why didn't he even hear it coming? All around them, a line of bald trees silhouetted against the fog. Melon shot a solemn look toward his only companion, "Uh... last time I check trees are not supposed to move."
