Darren heard the cry from somewhere to his right. It sounded like Alex.
"What was that screeching?!" Botamon said, looking around panicked. Definitely Alex, thought Darren.
"Don't worry Botamon, that was one of the girls from my camp. She must be nearby. Maybe she can hel- hang on a sec, I think I hear other voices too." Sure enough, Darren could hear a few other voices. They weren't being as loud as Alex, so he couldn't really make anything out, but they were definitely there. If he could hear them though, then they should be able to hear him too.
"HEY GUYS!! ALEX?! Heelllloooooooooo? It's Darren! I'm stuck!" Botamon followed suit, deciding to join in the yelling.
"PUNIMON? NYAROMON? JYARIMON? PURURUMON? IT'S BOTAMON! DARREN'S GOT HIS FOOT STUCK IN A TREE, I CAN'T GET HIM DOWN!!" Darren looked down at the surprisingly loud little black fuzz-ball. He's certainly an enthusiastic little fellow.
Ryoko followed the small digimon for what seemed like hours until it finally stopped and looked around. "Well..." It paused, bouncing around in a circle to look around. "This was the meeting spot...." Nyaromon stated a little puzzled. "I'm not sure where everyone else is...." Again, it paused and looked to Ryoko. The girl simply stared back at the digimon. "I don't know where they are." she finally stated. Her shoulders hurt from carrying her bag and the fact that no one else was around was somewhat annoying-since they were supposed to have met in this stop from what Nyaromon said. Slowly, Ryoko brought her hand to her head in almost a face-palm while sighing. Though she was fine with being alone in this new world, it troubled her to know that the others were there and were lost. Just as Ryoko went to speak, she heard someone scream from a little bit away. "HELLO ANYBODY HERE?" "Come on!" Ryoko called while taking off in the direction of the female voice. It sounded like someone was in a panic and she was worried if someone was hurt. As she ran, she mentally battled herself. "Why should I care about any of them?" she thought but pushed it away. Just past a few more trees, Ryoko saw Alex stomping her foot. She stopped dead in her tracks and nearly glared at the girl. "That was the rich girl...." She thought then sighed, turning to see Nyaromon. "Its just Rich Girl." Ryoko mumbled while huffing from the run a little bit. Nyaromon hopped forward and smiled a big toothy grin. "Punimon!! Glad to see you found your partner too!" Nyaromon cheered before turning to Ryoko. "Hopefully the others are near too!!" "Yeah...hopefully...." Ryoko mumbled somewhat sarcastically while crossing her arms over her chest.
