A/N: My first ever Digimon fic. I have no idea how many chapters this is going to be, and as to the pairings, I've decided to play around with them. Well, we'll have a definite Taito, since I adore that pairing, Takesuke or Kensuke, Takari or Miyakari (how do you write that one?), Jyoushiro, Mira, and possible Takori. I may just make some people not get together, but it's just so fun when everyone's nice and paired up! I'm open to suggestions as to the pairings, but I'm definitely going to have Taito, so no suggesting Tai or Matt pairings. On with the fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon: Digital Monsters, or any of the characters mentioned. I do own situations that I came up with from my own mind. Now, on with the fic for real!
Cabins Aren't A Form Of Torture
"If you were stranded on a desert island, and you could only have one personal possession with you, what would it be and why?"
Ishida Yamato sighed and rubbed his temples. He could only take so much nonsense questions for three straight hours.
"Are we almost there yet?" he asked anyone who was still awake. Sora turned around in the front seat and glanced back at him.
"We still have about an hour left on the road before we get to the town the cabin's in. Then, we just have to find the cabin."
"We don't know where it is?"
"Well, we have directions, but no, I don't know the exact location. The directions seem simple enough. Even Taichi could figure them out."
"Hey!"
Matt laughed and glanced at Taichi, who seemed to have just woken up from falling asleep on his shoulder.
"Good morning, sunshine."
Taichi glared at him and he thought he saw the faintest pink coloring flush his cheeks as he punched Matt's arm. It's hard to tell when someone's blushing when they have skin as dark as Tai's.
"Why again are we driving in the middle of the night to a secluded cabin in the middle of nowhere?" asked Ken, who looked as if he'd just woken up from a nice dream and didn't appreciate it.
"We, the older digidestined, felt that everyone was growing too far apart and we needed to get together somewhere private to strengthen our friendship again. The middle-of-the-night idea was Taichi's, so you can ask him about that," Sora replied.
"I just like driving at night. It seems, I don't know, peaceful." He shrugged, and Yamato groaned.
"That's the only reason we're doing this half-asleep?"
"I have to admit that it's pretty spooky and peaceful, driving at night to a place where we'll be spending two entire weeks with each other. I wonder who's going to go crazy first?" Ken wondered to himself.
"Spooky and peaceful?" Sora mused.
"I bet Yama'll go insane first!" Daisuke yelled triumphantly. We were all quite awake now.
"Damn, Dai! You're, like, sitting right next to me, you know!" Yamato said, rubbing his ear. "And if you scream like that again, I really will go insane, and I'll take it out on you, understand?"
Daisuke sunk back into his seat next to the angry blonde, pouting. "You're no fun."
Tai laughed and punched Matt's arm. "Go easy on him, Yama. You know he's obnoxious and annoying, anyway."
"You should talk," he muttered.
"What?"
"How are all twelve of us going to fit in that cabin, anyways?" Matt asked, covering for himself.
"There are six rooms, so we'll just have to pair up over there, I guess."
He sighed, already knowing who was going to be paired up and that this was just a recipe for disaster. All twelve of them, in a cabin, in the middle of nowhere, driving in the middle of the night. He couldn't decide whether to groan or grin in amusement at the possibilities of what could happen in a place so far away from the rest of the world that no one could hear you scream.
"Is there television?" Ken asked.
Sora turned around and grinned at him. "Do pigs fly? Really, Ken, if there was no TV, then we would have killed each other in the first five minutes."
"That sounds like fun."
Tai inched away from his best friend and pressed himself against the car door. Matt just grinned.
For a while, everything was nice and silent. People started drifting to sleep again. Matt pondered the silence of the front seat, where Mimi (strangely, silent most of the trip), Sora, and Ken were.
And then, "So, what would you take to the desert island? You never answered my question you know."
"Daisuke, go to sleep."
"You're right, Dais. Yama really would go insane first."
"Taichi, don't start."

"Can I change the station?"
"No, I like this one."
"But I don't."
"Well, I do."
Yagami Hikari sighed as she watched her two friends, Takeru and Miyako, arguing over a radio station.
"Takeru, keep your eyes on the road."
"Well, tell her that I am definitely not going to put the radio station in *my* car on a dumb pop station!"
"But he's listening to the freaking news station, Kari! The *news* station, I ask you."
Takeru had just gotten his car for his birthday two months before, and he still had an amazing amount of pride in the dumb automobile. It was very nice, she admitted, but she never really saw the point in having so much love for something like a car.
"Why don't we just listen to a station I pick out?"
"Okay!" both Takeru and Miyako agreed happily.
Hikari sighed and changed the station to a rock station. She closed her eyes and withdrew into her own little world, filled only with the beat of the drums and the sound of the bass and lead guitar, the eerie voice of Jonathan Davis washing over her.
"KoRn?" Jyou asked from the back seat.
"Yep," Kari replied.
"Good choice," Iori commented, grinning. If there was anything everyone in the group of twelve their friends formed mutually liked, it was rock music.
Everyone in the car tapped their fingers or banged their heads to the music, and there was no more argument from the two on either side of Kari in the front seat. In the back seat, Jyou, Koushiro, and Iori talked quietly, no doubt about the latest in the world of technology.
Soon, there slid by a sign that read the name of the town they were supposed to be looking out for. It would be coming in another five miles. Hikari straightened up in her seat and turned on the overhead light, searching for the notebook pad that had the directions to the cabin scribbled onto it. Miyako found it first and handed it to her with a warm smile. Hikari smiled back and took the offered pad, peering at it under the dim light.
"Take the next exit on the left, Takeru."
"Right."
They drove on in silence, except for the occasional direction from Hikari and answering, "Right," from Takeru. Soon, as the sun began to poke up from the brightening horizon, the cabin loomed up in front of them.
It looked peaceful enough. It had a home-y look about it (A/N: homey? homely? I don't know!). It was a wood cabin, with two stories. There was a little bit of clearing surrounding it, and then a little behind it was a dense forest. The other six had apparently yet to arrive here. Iori turned in his seat to peer back through the back window, and he could make out the second car following theirs, rising over a hill.
Their car came to a stop in front of the cabin, and they all slowly filed out. Jyou, Koushiro, Takeru, and Iori went to the trunk of the car to get their belongings down, and Hikari and Miyako went up the steps and to the window in the front to peer into the house.
The second car came to a stop alongside the first, and the other six tumbled out of the car, arguing, laughing, and mumbling. They, obviously, had quite a drive over here.
As Yamato grabbed his bags and stopped to take a good look at his surroundings, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't figure out if it was anticipation or dread, as he looked over the cabin that the others were dragging their bags towards. "Man, this is going to be a long two weeks," he breathed, as he stepped forward towards the cabin.

If any of you could come up with funny situations I could stick our dear little friends in, review and tell me! (Hint, hint, review...) I'll use the ones that most appeal to me, but if I don't use your suggestion, I'm sorry .' I can't use them ALL you know...sorry the first chapter seemed so lame. Don't worry, I'll make it funnier later on. First chapters are always somewhat slow, and I'm still unsure how this is going to turn out. Bye!
