"Hmmm..."

He leaned forward. A hand was placed beneath his chin as he examined the items displayed thoroughly. He wanted to buy something neat and awesome for Guilmon, but just what should he get? The super awesome stuff was kinda costly. In his price range, he was looking at the really, really cheap looking stuff.

Guilmon mimicked his tamer, though he was far closer to the items. A clawed hand placed on the display glass. Several times already had the dinosaur digimon been told to back away from it.

"What do you think, Guilmon?" Takato said finally. "Maybe we should train a little more and then we can get you something awesome?"

The digimon in question stared at the glass for a moment. He, too, gave a questioning sound before turning back to his tamer. "Whatever you like, Takatomon."

He should have expected that sort of answer.

“I see you driving down town with the girl I love…”

Pepper quietly sang to the lines of a familiar song as he walked casually at random directions. See, it was ‘his’ first time entering Digimon Online. Naturally, anyone who has just started playing the game would want to explore the area; have a feel of the environment they will be playing in before jumping it to action. In Pepper’s case however, that didn’t happen immediately. He spent the first twenty minutes cuddling with his digimon, Terriermon, until the poor thing was almost blue. Now, his digimon was safely placed a top his head, his… ear-hand thingy just dangling at the side. It was like wearing a head piece for Pepper, with much more weight. But he didn’t mind. It seemed like the little fellow enjoyed the view from the height.

“You have a lovely voice, Pepper.” Terriermon chimed in. Pepper’s features broke in to a grin.

“Why thank you for the compliment, Terr.” He said before his hand went to pat Terriermon’s head. “Now, where do you reckon I should go next?”

Instantly, his digimon’s… ear-hand pointed to somewhere, Pepper simply went over to where the other would point. In a minute, they were in an area that looked like a supply store. Pepper took this time to scan over the items being sold there, assessing the price of each item. Well, it looks like he’ll have a long way to go till he buys his digimon something decent. For now, there was nothing wrong with just window shopping.

Green orbs continued to scan over until he spotted something that caught his attention. It was another player with his digimon and somehow, Pepper couldn’t contain himself from gazing in awe at the red reptile.

“Oh wow! It’s a dinosaur with ear wings!”

[gogglehead]

The two of them turned around at the sound. Takato pointed to Guilmon and Guilmon pointed to himself. "These?" The goggle head said. The digimon and human pair both wore the same confused expression. Guilmon then wiggled his "wing ears." While Guilmon was kinda, sorta, new, there were a lot of digimon that were kinda different. Agumons were pretty common, but Guilmon are special. (And he'd always be to Takato(mon)).

"Um, yeah. Heh." Takato rubbed the back of his head, and gave an awkward laugh. He looked at the other male and his partner. Terriermon. That meant he was probably a good guy, considering they picked a group of digimon according to the guy's personality. "He's Guilmon and my name's Gogglehead." Guilmon walked forward, sniffing the ground up to terriermon, and Takato could feel his face gradually heat up from embarrassment. What a great way to make a first impression, he thought as he pulled the dinosaur away from them. "Don't mind him. He's friendly, I swear." He gave an awkward grin.

Guilmon stopped and straightened suddenly, causing his tamer to jolt back. "?!" He looked down at Guilmon, "what's up, boy?" The digimon gave a toothy grin and rest his jaw on Terrermon's head, careful of the horn.

Pepper could barely contain himself as the reptile digimon wiggled his wing ears. It was just so cute! He wanted to just jump over and coddle the digimon in his arms. He was cutter than his little piglets back at home and that’s saying something. But not as cute as his Terriermon; the guy just rules out everything. In any case, Pepper simply stood there consumed by his own desires, out of politeness and not wanting to freak the other out, while his own digimon decided to jump off his head and plopped on the ground. Terriermon’s beady eyes stared intently. It was somewhat unnerving. Perhaps he was analyzing? Assessing the other? Somehow, Pepper really didn’t care much.

“Ara~ It’s nice to meet you Gogglehead-kun… GH-kun! Sorry, your name’s kind of a mouthful.” Pepper spoke sheepishly before he grasp of the other’s hand for a firm handshake.

“Nice to meet ya, kid! That’s Terriermon,” his gloved finger pointed at the still midget digimon. “And I’m Pepper. But you can call me Peps or Pepi-chan.” He beamed his ever winning smile at the other, filled with his usual enthusiasm. He couldn’t really help himself. He was totally hyped even before he entered the game. It doubled when he entered the game, tripled when he met his digimon and quadrupled when he now knew someone online. How he felt could be clearly surmized even in the smallest of gestures he would conduct. As soon as he finished his introduction, he could hardly avert his attention to anything else as he watched the two digimons interact.

“Eh?”

Emerald hues watched as the reptilian circled his Terriermon before he settled his jaw on Terriermon’s head. The little midget didn’t even flinch. But it only took ten seconds before his ear hands began to move and pap the other’s jaw and let out inaudible words. Needless to say, it took a lot of his will-power not to drool over and humiliate himself. Pepper, instead opted to put on a dazed and somewhat delighted expression on his features.
