"what do you think lunamon?" anima asked, stretching her arms over her head. the digimon looked up and couldn't help but give a shy smile. so far she'd noticed that lunamon would often be a few paces away from her, or almost clinging to anima. the digimon was silent but that was okay. walking in the city wasn't something they wanted to do everyday, but after getting lost once, she was reluctant to head out again. confidence was shaken, that was obvious, and yet, she needed experience and what better way of getting experience than by heading out? now that was a catch-22 and she was torn as to what to do. and since lunamon wasn't offering advice, anima was merely walking about, hoping a solution would come to her.

He hummed a tune from his heart, a heart that did not beat in the virtual world but never felt livelier. He skipped, hopped, arms guiding him through his tightrope of fake cement on the side of the road. He'd reached the end and he relished to celebrate only for a second. Horizontal and vertical blocks lie ahead and should he step on the wrong block, then he would slip, lose his balance and the feeling of falling would be the last he would remember.

No one paid attention to the eight-year-old. Here in this world, everyone roamed free unsupervised. He was independent, responsible and on his own. It would spell out differently in the real world but that was because reality had always been unfair. It made one wait too much.

He laughed in excitement as he made the first steps toward on the vertical blocks. He did not wait with patience and pushed on forward recklessly. Left, right, left, left, right, forward. He needed to dodge the incoming waves of people because if he made contact with them, they would explode.

Opposite of his gaily twittering, his Digimon crawled with difficulty, huffing and puffing as he steered through the onslaught of feet and shoes punching him with aches. Maybe he should turn around, find a corner and just sit there. Lucius would look for him. He didn't want to follow him anymore.

But reality wasn't fair like that. He was the human's Digimon, created to be his companion in this world. Lucius said he could complain. Lucius said Gomamon X might never be what he was anymore.

A foot had hit him squarely on the stomach. He meant to get away quickly without standing. He kept his chest close to the pavement and dragged himself there.

what were they going to do? there were many things anima could do, but she didn't want to do something that lunamon didn't want to do. that would hardly be fair. but the digimon beside her stayed quiet, as if afraid of voicing her opinion. anima hated that, hated thinking her digimon was afraid of her. she gave lunamon no reason to be, but alas, who knew the reason behind it. programming maybe? seemed more likely.

she continued to walk, lunamon beside her, and she was careful to avoid bumping into people. there were many players in the game, from new players to veterans, even a staffer was around! she watched the red digivice above the pineapple styled hair, a renamon beside the girl before they both disappeared into a building. "did you see that?" she asked as lunamon nodded.

it wasn't disappearing into a building that amazed her but the fact she had seen a member of magami staff. the manual had read that players had blue, staff had red, and the girl had given her a slight nod of her head before she entered the building. it was pretty cool! she figured someone important wouldn't pay any attention to her, yet she was wrong.

soon it was time to start walking again until lunamon pointed at something, eyes scanning before seeing what lunamon was seeing; she hadn't seen what had happened, but instinct took over as she darted towards the boy, leaving lunamon to follow at a slower pace. "how are you enjoying digimon online?" the girl looked over the younger player, with a smile, wondering if the crawling. "where is your digimon?" anima asked, having not seen the gomamon x just yet, or if she had, didn't click that it was the boy's digimon.

notes: it's all good ^^
