Where did you go(Open)

[Kaze]

Jeri was really starting to question her abilities has a tamer, considering the situation she had placed upon herself. Kneeling down as she looked under a park bench, the girl held a near terrified expression while scanning the low area for any sign of her partner. How could she call herself a tamer if she couldn't even keep track of her own digimon? It seemed as if the Salamon just wanted to get her into trouble, even though she knew that the creature was simply playing. Even so, the sheer terror of someone seeing the small monster was enough to make her panic.

"Salamon......Salamon...."

Her cries were small whispers as she didn't want to cause too much attention to herself. It was weird enough that she was bending down and looking under benches in the middle of the day. Standing up as she held a concerned look over her face, the girl jogged lightly through the park in her continued search for the rookie digimon. Why did she have to let her out of the bag? The girl had thought that the two of them had some kind of understanding? Why wouldn't she listen to her?

Smiling as she noticed a young couple looking at her while passing, Jeri then stopped as she moved into a small patch of woodlands, looking behind bushes and trees for the cream colored monster. She had to find her, and quickly. It would be only a matter of moments before the park became even more crowded.

[Takato Matsuki]

It was fairly early in the morning as Takato headed into Shinjuku Park, walking with a noticeable spring in his step. No doubt the return of Guilmon and the rest of the digimon had made him very happy, and he was excited to get back into being a digimon tamer. Of course, Takato was still stuck keeping a low profile on the red dino. His parents were happy to have Guilmon back, but the general public were still in general oblivious to the return of digimon, and even Takato knew it would likely cause a panic, and he didn't want to lose Guilmon again!

So far, falling back on the kid in a costume story had allowed Takato to bring him along most places, though he still usually kept him at home or in the shed at Shinjuku park when he was at school. It was the weekend so he didn't really have much reason to leave him there right now, but it was still nice to hang around the park. There were a lot of memories here, and it made him all kinds of nostalgic.

"Takato! Look, Jeri's here!" Guilmon pointed out, ears momentarily perking up in excitement, but drooped slightly when he realized something was amiss. "Uh-oh Takato. She doesn't look very good..."

Takato looked to where Guilmon was looking, and sure enough there was Jeri, walking through the trees and looking very upset. "You are right Guilmon." He said, concerned. Looked like she had lost something. As he approached, he could to hear her whimpering quietly. She was clearly upset. "Jeri? What's wrong?" He asked gently. He only stopped himself from blushing a bit. He had had feelings for her for a very long time, though he always had trouble trying to express them. He cared a lot about Jeri.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Eyes glimmering like sapphires, the little ten year old still looked the same as she had a year ago. Wearing her normal outfit consisting of this, she straightened her hat so that it didnt cover just one side of her face. Perched on her shoulder was her digimon, Lala. "Hanako...theres a digimon ahead." Lala said quietly. "A digimon?" Hanako asked. Lala nodded and floated forward. Hanako followed after her digimon, both hiding behind a tree. The digimon appeared to be a large red dinosaur with a boy scampering after him. "Isnt that..." "...Takato-niichan?" Hanako finished with a curious expression.

The call of her name caused the young teen to turn, blinking as she saw the face of her fellow classmate and friend. Gasping in surprise, Jeri held one hand close to her lips while the other remain at her side. She hadn't expected to see Takato here, nor Guilmon for that matter. Then again, this was close to where the boy usually hid the red dragon, but it was still rather shocking to see the two of them out here as they were. Feeling the upper parts of her cheeks burn read, the crimson haired girl looking to the sky with a blank expression as she placed her hands behind her back,rocking back and forth on her heels.

"Takato!Guilmon!....Um...well...."

Jeri wasn't sure what to say. How could she tell him that she had lost her new partner? It just seemed so childish and unlike the others. Everyone seemed to be better tamers than she was, and this would just be another event proving it. But it wasn't going to do any good hiding it, if anything they could help her.

"I lost my partner...She just jumped out of my bag and ran off before I could catch her...."

Narrowing her eyes as she looked to the side, Jeri sighed as she knew that she really did look like an idiot. Even more, she looked like one in front of Takato. Why couldn't she be better capable of controlling the small rookie? What was she doing wrong? It just seemed like the creature wasn't going to listen to anything she said, and now she might very well endanger everyone else.

[Takato Matsuki]

"Don't worry Jeri, she couldn't have gone far. We'll help you find her!" said Takato, smiling reassuringly. He could only feel sorry for Jeri right now. Having lost Leomon, and now her confidence as a tamer was drained. "It's alright Jeri, not everyone can keep a perfect eye on their digimon. Look at me, first day with Guilmon. Leave him in a hiding spot and tell him to stay in the box when I go to school... He ends up following me to school in the box. Takato chuckled, remembering that day. Of course he was terrified of Guilmon being discovered at the time, but looking back on it now, it was pretty funny.

"Takato! Digimon!" Guilmon alerted suddenly, turning around sniffing the air insistantly. Takato went to investigate what Guilmon was alerting to, hoping it was Salamon, but when he approached, he found Hanako and Lalamon instead. "Hey there Hana-chan, Lalamon." He greeted the two. Guilmon came around to and immediately stuck his face in Lalamon's, sniffing curiously, only to end up sneezing in her face. "Guilmon, give them some space." He said, and Guilmon backed off a bit, rubbing his nose. "I'm sorry."

"Well, Jeri, Guilmon, this is Hanako and her Lalamon, and Hana-chan Lalamon, this is Jeri, and this is Guilmon!" He said, getting introductions through. He then turned to Hanako. "Hey, Hanako, you didn't happen to see a Salamon anywhere did you?"

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako blinked as she was noticed. "Hi Takato-niichan." She said as a smile erupted on her features. "So this is Guilmon?" She asked as she laid a hand on the dinosaur's muzzle. "Hes so cute!" She grinned. Lala went flying back when he sneezed after Hanako put her hand on his muzzle. Swirly eyed, the digimon floated nearby. "Its nice to meet you, Jeri-neechan~!" Hanako said brightly. "Hmm...a salamon?" Looking up to the sky thoughtfully, she frowned. "Unfortunatly no, but...hey!" A thought hit her mind. "Can't your digivice track Salamon?" She asked. Lala floated and perched on Hanako's shoulder. "A digivice is able to track its registered digimon -- however it is also able to track other digimon too...I could possibly track Salamon as well, if you liked, Jeri-san." Lala said in a gentle tone.

((hope you dont mind if I butt in XD))

So happy, Yori was so happy. She couldn’t imagine when she was happier then she was now! She was walking around, cuddling her new digimon lopmon. After some introductions, she and lopmon decided on calling her Loli. She was lucky lopmon looked like a stuffed animal, if anyone asked she just said she was carrying around a digimon doll. It was believable enough. Though she had to be careful around her house, she knew her dad would get upset if he knew. But Rei was helpful. Though she didn’t know that Loli was alive, she did know that her sister loved her ‘doll’ so she agreed to say that Loli was hers if anyone found her. Their father would be more likely to be kinder and let her keep it if he thought it was Rei’s.

Yori had put some ribbons on Loli’s ears, and the lopmon simply loved them! Though she had been very serious during the battle when they first met, once it was done her playful, sweet demeanor was shown. And she was enjoying playing with her new friend in the human world! But for now the two of them were at the park, Yori was hoping she could find a spot without people where she could let Loli run around, she did like flowers. Maybe there was a good spot with some flowers….

Before Yori found a place, she stopped when Loli’s ears perked up as she spoke up. “Yori! Digimon!” she said as she jumped from Yori’s arms and started running. “Loli! Wait! What if someone sees you!” she shouted as she ran after her lopmon. Loli ran up to the group of tamers and their digimon, ears perking up as she smiled at them. “Hi there! Whatchya doooooin?” she asked as she spun around a bit. She loved spinning, it was so much fun!

“Loliii!” Said Yori as she came upon the group of tamers and gasped, running in to pick up loli. “Oh, I am um….about that I…” then Yori realized, she didn’t have to explain why her ‘doll’ was walking and talking, the others they, had digimon to! “Oh! You, have digimon!” said Yori, as if she needed to confirm what she thought vocally. “Yoriiii! Let gooo please!” cried Loli as Yori let her go. Loli ran over to Jeri and cocked her head to the side. “You look sad Miss. What’s the matter?” she asked her with a sad face.

[Kaze]

Jeri smiled slightly towards Hanaka, then blinking as she her smile faded to that of a shocked expression. How could she have forgotten about the tracking system within her digi-vice? Reaching into her skirt pocket, the teen face remained red as she pulled out the yellow encircled and held it both her hands. Now she really did feel silly as she looked at its screen to try and see if she could figure out where the Salamon was. Though before she could get a good look, another duo appeared as if from no where, causing her to swiftly place the digi-vice behind her back.

But upon seeing another digimon and tamer pairing, the girl smiled as she saw the small Lopmon, almost thinking for a moment that it was Suzie. Yet this one appeared different, not to mention that the tamer was also different. Hearing her ask why she was upset, Jeri held a blank expression while pulling out her digi-vice with a small smile. She really wasn't that great of a tamer.

"Im looking for my partner....She ran off....But I think I should be able to find her now....I hope..."

((not at all))

[Takato Matsuki]

Cute? Takato couldn't help but laugh a bit. Jeri had thought he was 'cute' the first time he show her too. What was with girls and calling cool stuff cute? Whatever floats their boat he guessed. Unfortunately, Hana-chan hadn't seen Salamon. Darn. However, what she did know left him wanting to slap himself. How could he have not thought about that? "Wow, thanks Hanako. Can't believe I didn't think of that myself!"

Takato pulled out his digivice and clicked through a few screens before he found the tracker. Two red dots near the center were obviously Guilmon and Lalamon. Then to his excitement, he spotted a third coming right for them! That had to be Salamon! Disappointed again though, he saw that it wasn't Salamon, but this time a Lopmon. It wasn't Suzie's lopmon though, this one's ears were blue. Strange. Then a very flustered girl came up to them. "Wow, another new tamer huh? I'm Takato and this is Guilmon!" he said, introducing himself and Guilmon. His gaze then turned back to his digivice though. "Yeah, we should really find Salamon soon." he said after Jeri explained herself.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako grinned. "You learn alot hanging around a radar." She said pulling her digimon's yellow helicopter-like petal things. "Those are sensitive!" Lala chided, floating away from her tamer. "Sorry~ Sorry~!" She said letting her arms flail out. As Hanako continued flailing, Lala's sensors began going off. "Digimon nearby approximatly -insertrandomnumberhere-!" Lala said floating away. "Lalas on the move! Lets goooooooooo!" Hanako said taking off after her digimon who began navigating through the park. Luckily people werent here so she wouldnt be seen easily.
