MARAJAMONM
These children are very powerful. I must find a way to stop them from wrecking my evil plans, but how? I've tried almost everything! Hmmm…
MARAJAMON PUTS A HAND ON ONE OF THE STATUES...
MARAJAMON
Sphinxmon… awaken!
THE STATUE SLOWLY SHANGES FROM ITS STIFF FORM INTO A LIVING, BREATHING, ANGRY CREATURE.
SPHINXMON
Rrrahhhhhhh!!!
MARAJAMON
Go Sphinxmon! KILL the Digidestined. I WILL NOT let them defeat me AGAIN!

MATT
Are you okay?
JENNIFER
(Sarcastically)
I'm terrific.
We've been walking for so long. And my feet hurt!
FOXIMON
Maybe you should rest for a while.
TAI
(Sternly)
We can't rest! We have to keep going!
JENNIFER
Come on Tai, pleeese.
TAI HAS TO THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT.
MIMI
Now that you mention it I'm a little tired too.
JENNIFER
See Tai! Mimi agrees with me.
TAI
(Smiles)
All right. take five everybody!
EVERYONE GIVES A SIGH OF RELIEF. JUST AS EVERYONE IS SITTING DOWN, JENNIFER’S TAG STARTS TO GLOW.
JENNIFER
(Holding up tag)
Hey, my tag's glowing
MATT
Then that means your crest is near by.
JENNIFER
Hmmm.
I'm gonna go check this out!
FOXIMON
I'll go with you Jen.
JENNIFER
That’s okay. You stay here and get some rest I'll be back I promise.
MATT
Then at least let me go.
JENNIFER
Matt I'll be fine on my own... really.
MATT
Are you sure... I mean you have no idea what's out there.
GABUMON
Matt's right, this whole forest could be infested with evil digimon.
JENNIFER
Like I said Gabumon, I can take care of myself.
TAI
I think I'll go with you, just to make sure you don't get lost or anything.
JENNIFER ROLLS HER EYES.
JENNIFER
Fine. Then lets go.
SHE GIVES MATT A GOODBYE KISS AND WALKS OFF WITH TAI.
FADE OUT:

EXT. WOODS - DAY
TAI AND JENNIFER ARE WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS. JENNIFER IS STILL HOLDING UP HER TAG. THEY FINALLY COME TO A NEARBY CAVE.
JENNIFER
Hmm. This must be the place.
JENNIFER AND TAI EXCHANGE GLANCES, THEN WALK INTO THE DARK CAVE. LITTLE DO THEY KNOW THAT SPHINXMON IS WATCHING THEIR EVERY MOVE…
TAI
Jennifer, hold your crest up to the wall.
JENNIFER DOES SO, THEN AN IMAGE APEARS ON ONE OF THE ROCKS.
JENNIFER
That’s it!
THE SYMBOL RISES FROM THE ROCK AND INTO JENNIFERS TAG. THE SYMBOL IS A TRIANGLE AND A CIRCLE LINKED TOGRATHER.
TAI
You did it Jen!!!
JENNIFER
It’s ... it's the crest of loyalty.
SHE STARTLES TAI AS SHE RUNS UP TO HUG HIM. JUST THEN, THEY HEAR A GROWLING NOISE…
TAI
What was that?
JENNIFER
I don't know but I don't want to find out. Lets go while we still can.
TAI
(Whispers)
Good idea.
JUST THEN, SPHINXMON JUMPS RIGHT INFRONT OF THEM.
JENNIFER
Uh, Tai?
TAI
Yeah?
JENNIFER
We're going to die aren't we?
TAI
Oh yeah!!!
SPHINXMON
RAAAWWWWWWW!!!!!
TAI

TAI AND JENNIFER RUN AS SPHINXMON FLIES THROGH THE DARK CAVE AFTER THEM. JENNIFER AND TAI FIND A CAVERN UP AHEAD…
JENNIFER
(Panting)
This way Tai!
TAI
I’m right behind yah!
THEY RUN INSIDE ONLY TO FIND THAT IT'S A DEAD END.
JENNIFER
Oh no… we're trapped!!!
THE ANGRY BEAST REACHES FOR THEM. JENNIFER AND TAI THROW ROCKS AT HIM.
JENNIFER (CONT’)
GO! GET OUT OF HERE GET!!!
SPINXMON BUMPS HIS HEAD ON THE CELING. THE IMPACT CAUSES ROCKS AND DIRT TO COME FALLING DOWN. SPHINXMON RUNS OFF BUT TAI AND JENNIFER ARE STILL STUCK IN THE CAVERN.
TAI
Oh no! Now the entrance is blocked!!!
Now were definitely TRAPPED!
JENNIFER
Well, what'll we do now? Oh, "fearless leader"?
TAI
Well uh… Hey! You’re the one who insisted that we go into this creepy cave in the first place!
JENNIFER
Well we got my crest didn't we!
TAI
Yeah but...
JENNIFER
Argh. Never mind!!! Geez you know what? I'm sorry I even let you to come along!!!
TAI
Hey!!! Be happy, okay!!! At least you’re not all alone!!!
JENNIFER
I think I'd be better off that way!!!! Look, just don't talk to me any more okay?
TAI
FINE!
JENNIFER
FINE!
THEY BOTH CROSS THEIR ARMS AND TURN THEIR BACKS TWARDS EACHOTHER. THERE IS A LONG MOMENT OF SILENCE. JENNIFER FINALLY WALKS OVER TO A NEARBY ROCK AND SITS DOWN. SHE BURRIES HER FACE IN HER HANDS…
JENNIFER (CONT’)
Tai, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm glad you came… and… I… well… thanks
JENNIFER BLUSHES
TAI
It's okay Jen. You're just upset, I understand.
TAI PUTS A COMFORTING HAND ON JENNIFER'S SHOULDER…
TAI (CONT’)
Don't worry, I'll find a way to get us out of here. I promise.
JENNIFER'S TEARFILLED EYES GAZE UP AT HIM. SHE HANGS HER HEAD DOWN.
JENNIFER
(Crying)
I'm so sorry.
TAI SMILES AND GIVES HER A HUG. HE RUNS HIS FINGERS GENTLY THROUGH HER LONG RED HAIR.
TAI
Shhh. It’s okay. It’s ooookay.
EXT. WOODS - DAY.

SORA

FOXIMON

TAI
HELLO, ANYONE OUT THERE? HELP US!!! LET US OUT!!!

TAI (CONT')
ARGH!
JENNIFER
Sigh
It’s no use. No one can hear us.
TAI SITS DOWN NEXT TO JENNIFER WHO IS FIDDLING WITH HER TAG.
TAI
So.
JENNIFER.
So...
JENNIFER LOOKS AT TAI, ALMOST HOPEFUL.
JENNIFER
Tai do you think the others are looking for us.
TAI
I'm sure they are.
JENNIFER
Poor Matt.
TAI
Hey the others will fine without us for a while. Right now we need to focus on getting out of here.
JENNIFER GAZES BACK UP AT TAI. SHE WAS FEELING ACKWARD AS IF SHE ALMOST FELT SOMETHING FOR TAI. TAI GIVES HER THE SAME ACKWARD GAZE. THEY BEGIN TO LEAN IN. BEFORE HE KNEW IT, HIS LIPS WERE PRESSED AGAINST HER'S. THEY RELIZED WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND QUICKY JERKED AWAY FROM EACHOTHER.
TAI
Uh oh we didn't just…
JENNIFER
Uh… yeah, we did.
TAI (V.O.)
Matt is going to kill me!
JENNIFER (V.O)
Man, I feel like such a two timing slut!
JENNIFER (CONT’)
We can't tell Matt or anyone about what just happened TAI! Promise?
TAI
Don't worry Jen. My lips are sealed.
JENNIFER
Yeah, with my lip-gloss!
TAI
Hey we're kids we're supposed to make mistakes.
JENNIFER
Yeah but… oh never mind. It’s getting kind of late. Maybe we should get some sleep huh?
TAI
(Yawns)
If you insist…
THEY EACH FIND THEIR OWN PLACES TO SLEEP. JUST AS THEY GET COMFERTABLE…
JENNIFER
Tai?
TAI
(Sleepily)
Yeah?
JENNIFER
Just out of curiosity, did that kiss mean anything to you?
TAI
Uh… no nothing at all, How 'bout you?
JENNIFER
Nope. Didn’t mean one bit! Goodnight Tai.
TAI
Good night Jen.
WITHIN MINUTES THEY FALL ASLEEP. ALTHOGH THEY BOTH KNEW THAT THAT KISS REALY MEANT SOMETHING… THEY HAVE TO DENY IT OR ELSE THEY WOULD LOOSE THEIR FRIEND'S TRUST. NOT TO MENTION THEIR FRIENDSHIP.
EXT. WOODS - NIGHT.
