The group follows him while Joe protests that they should stay put until the grown ups come get them. They arrive at the beach and discover telephone booths and try them. However only weird facts are heard from the phone. The children then rest and are very hungry. They each take out what they have and they discover that along with T.K.'s snacks that have emergency rations from Joe. They also discover little devices on their pants or bags (digivice) Joe then splits the food but it can only be good for a day with the digimon.
