"Sora, I'm not sure I like this place," Mimi announced.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Maybe we'd better get out of here."
"You're leaving?" the small girl asked. "Why would you want to go?"
"Well for starters you don't have a bathroom," Mimi mumbled to herself.
"We just have some place we need to be," Sora finished.
The small girl looked concerned. "But it's not safe outside the village."
Sora smiled and said, "Don't worry. We can look after ourselves."
The two girls waved goodbye to the child and retreated from the village. Soon they were on the outskirts of the settlement.
Mimi wrapped her arms around herself. "That place was creepy,"
"Yeah. Something about that place was just wrong. And the way everyone was dressed like a baby didn't help matters."
"So what do we do about finding the others?"
Sora thought about that for a moment. "Let's go back to the spot where we first arrived and see if we can find a clue about what happened before we woke up."
Several minutes later the two girls found themselves back in the grassy field. Sora declared "I don't see any sign of the streetcar we were riding in."
"Um, Sora, could you give me a minute?" Mimi asked while shifting from one foot to the other. "I kind of need to go."
"Oh sure. I'll be right here."
With that Mimi walked off. Sora tried to remember what had happened after they had all left the Digital world on their trip back home, but nothing came to her. Them she heard Mimi screaming. Sora turned to see Mimi running towards her.
"Mimi! What's wrong?"
"That's what's wrong!" Mimi pointed at the direction she had come from and Sora saw the problem.
About a dozen kids came towards them all riding big wheels, small plastic tricycles with an oversized front tire. At least they were usually small. The ones these kids were riding were big enough for either of the girls to ride. Most of the kids riding the big wheels were about their age, though some were smaller. The gang began riding in a giant circle around the two girls and Sora got a good look at the riders. Just like in the village, everyone was wearing diapers and baby clothes.
The circle of big wheels stopped moving and one of the older boys called out to them. "Well well, what do we have here?" The boy's black hair was moulded into one giant pointed cone that was sticking straight up. He wore only a diaper and what looked to be a leather jacket. He took out a pacifier and began to suck on it it in such a way that it looked like he was taking a drag on a cigarette.
"You girls are dressed pretty funny," the lead boy said as he leaned forward on his handlebars. "You don't look like you're from around here."
"We're not," Sora announced confidently.
The boy put the pacifier in his mouth again and took two big long sucks on it. "Well, then I think it's only proper that we welcome you to the neighborhood."
