: What? A Floral Arrival! : (Open)

[Hanako Hitoehi]

It was early morning and Hanako was on her daily walk through Shinjuku park. The cherry blossoms always bloomed in this park it seemed. Looking up, standing beneath a cherry blossom tree, a strange light began to glow from one of the petals. Floating down to her, Hanako took the pink digivice in her hands.



It was then the cherry blossom tree began to blow softly. A small pink creature with a green body came floating down, she had hollow black eyes and a small O for a mouth...but something about her seemed gentle. "Hana-chan..." She said smiling. "H-How do you know my name?" Hanako asked in fright. "Im your digimon!" She said floating down to her and touching her digivice gently. "My name is Lalamon."



Name: Lalamon
Attribute: Data
Type: Vegetation
Attacks: Seed Shot, Lala Screw, Sing-A-Song

The stats flashed over the digivice. "Lalamon...?" Hanako tilted her head. "Yes. I've come to be with you." Lalamon floated around Hanako once. Hanako's face lit up. Taking the digimon into her arms, she headed down the path, holding Lalamon.

Takato's body moved up and down slightly as each foot impacted with the ground, pushing him forward in a run, more like a mild jog. Headphones in his ears, goggles on his head, the boy practiced running at the park almost every day of the week. It's not that he found it overly joyful to run, but it helped him relax and took his mind off of things. Also, it wouldn't hurt him to get some good exercise in him and build up some big, strong legs. He was a rather small framed guy, building up any kind of muscle was good for him at this point, even if it was in his scrawny legs.

On this occasion, he wore his regular running gear. A white beater, a pair of athletic shorts and a pair of sneakers that were designed specifically for running. The shorts he wore were rather short, but for good reason, they cut down on drag and allowed for more airflow around his legs so that he'd keep cool. But all of the pluses came at a cost, a rather obvious cost. First of all, they showed much more leg than he would have liked, stopping at his upper-mid thigh region and second of all, well...the first reason was good enough to count as too. But one thing was alright about them, they made him seem more athletic and would probably attract more females to him while in such gear.

He slowed down to a slow jog, switching songs from his mp3 player to something more mellow and calm, one of his favorite songs by the band Keane. A yawn escaped him out of nowhere, apparently his run wasn't physical enough if he had enough energy to yawn. He stretched out his arms and legs as he yawned, a lack of muscle could easily be seen for a mile away, but hey, that's why he was out exercising.

"Today is really nice day..." Takato said, looking up at the sky, a sakura pedal flying right into his eye. "Huh?" He looked over at the beautiful cherry blossom tree, his vision obscured by a torrent of pedals, but was that a digimon....with a girl? What's going on! That's the second one this week! "Hey you!" Takato called out.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako swung her head in the boy's direction. He was dressed oddly in her opinion. She simply wore a dress with flipflops and a coat with bear ears on the hood that was currently over her blonde hair (see display pic). "Me?" She asked tilting her head. "You're dressed funny." She giggled. Lalamon looked from her spot where Takato was, floating out of Hanako's arms, she floated forward. "Yes?" She asked gently. She seemed almost motherly in a way. "May we help you?" She asked as Hanako ran forward her hand touching Lalamon's small one.

Takato walked over to the duo, looking at both the small digimon and the girl quite oddly. The girl was a full head or so shorter than himself, which meant that she was much younger than himself, but he could tell that just by looking at her face. The hoodie she wore was rather cute, overly cute to be honest, it made him want to laugh a bit at how cute it really was. But this was no laughing matter, he wanted to find something out, he wanted to know something. What did he want to know? Why digimon were reappearing after being gone for so long, what business did they have in the Real World?

"Me? Dressed...funny?" An inquisitive look spread across his face, wondering what she meant by it at first, but gazing down at his shorts gave him the answer to that. "Huh..? Oh. I..uh...these are athletic shorts! You know...for runners!" Takato began to pantomime the action as he spoke, for visual reference. "They're not that much different from regular shorts....the material is slightly...different..." His thoughts trailed off for a moment, thinking about something totally unrelated to the topic.

He shook his head, shaking away the stupid thoughts that were in his mind. Now his gaze shifted solely to the floating digimon, who had just spoken to him. "You're a digimon." Takato said, tilting his head to the side to observe the plant-like creature. "What brings you here..?" He asked, wondering what his answer would be, but he already had a thought of what it might be.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako nodded. "I see! Whats athletic?" She asked tilting her head. "My names Hanako! This is Lalamon." Hanako said pointing to herself then to the digimon who nodded her head. "Yes, my name is Lalamon. I came here to be with Hanako." Lalamon said floating to Hanako and touching her hands to her tamer's shoulder. "The scent is faint...but you smell of digimon. However...the scent is old." Lalamon said floating over to him, floating around him a couple of times, she came to float before him. "Are you a tamer too?" She asked tilting her head gently to one side.

[darkdiety666]

"You know. Running. Swimming. Playing Soccer. Athletic stuff." Takato said as he slipped his earphones of and turning off his mp3 player, his full attention going to the little girl and her digimon now.

"Hi Hanako. Lalamon. I'm Takato, nice to meet you." The boy said, crouching down slightly so that he was eye level with the two of them, a sincere smile spread across his face. He stood back up to his full height, stretching out his muscles as he extended both arms upwards toward the sky, letting out a slight grunt as he did so until he let his arms fall back down to his sides.

He let out a nice, long sigh as Lalamon said that to him. That was exactly the answer he was expecting, nice and cliche with no real answers pertaining to what was going on in the Digital World or with the Real World for that matter. Something was going on and he had to get to the bottom of it, with or without Guilmon. Would he ever see...him...again? "Hm...I thought you might say something like that... Huh...well..." Takato got a little bit nervous at that last question, but he just choked it down and answered the digimon. "I used to be one."

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Lalamon smiled, floating to Takato's hand, she touched her small hand on top of his. "A digimon tamer is a digimon tamer for life. I'm sure you'll see your partner again. If you told me what he looked like, I might be able to tell you if i've seen him. Trouble is, theres so many digimon..." Lalamon sighed, moving back to Hanako. "But you shouldnt lose faith." She nodded. "I love swimming and walking!" Hanako said brightly. "Takato-oniichan...can I call you that?" She asked bouncing up and down a little.

Takato felt a little something on his hand, looking at Lalamon, who now had her hand on top of his own. He was a bit surprised, though he didn't look it, possibly because Lalamon seemed so calm and nonthreatening. "Thanks Lalamon. But I'm sure Guilmon's okay. I'll just keep having faith like you said. Oh. I'm pretty sure you've seen the guy, he's hard to miss! Red digimon with cool black designs on his body, with fire breath that goes PYRO SPHERE!" Takato flung his head back in laughter at the very thought of how cool he still thought his digimon was, despite being more mature than he once was.

"I like swimming too, Hanako-chan." He really did, as a matter of fact he had been recently thinking about trying out for the swim team. Not only that, but he was preparing to go for a swim after his run. Takato blushed at how Hanako addressed him, it was just so cute that it made him feel a bit uncomfortable and that happy-go-lucky expression just wasn't helping either. "Sure. I don't see why not." He said, smiling a bit. He just couldn't say no.

[Hanako Hitoehi]

"Hm..." Lalamon thought back to her time in the digital world. "Ah! Now that I think about it, I heard someone mention something about him...they said he was last seen near the legendary dino valley. However, he may have moved by now." Lalamon said sighing. Hanako smiled. "Pyro Sphere? That sounds like a candy name!" She giggled. "Ne ne, Takato-oniichan, how old are you?" She asked. "Im 9!" She said cheerfully. Hanako spun around, landing with a thump on a nearby bench, pulling out her digivice, she examined it closely.

"Dino Valley..." It seemed that Guilmon was alright after all or at leas that he's been spotted being around. It was somewhat relieving to know that his partner was still alive and kicking after two years of being on his own. But knowing Guilmon, he probably wasn't on his own, he loved company and loved to be around his friends. Hopefully the digimon wasn't lonely or bored, that would be the cause of all sorts of mischief if he was. Takato laughed at what Hanako said, thinking about it for a moment and decided that could be true. "Like one of those hot cinnamon candies...the ones that burn your mouth a little bit."

He looked at the bench near them, sitting down looked so enticing, but he could rest now, not when he was about to get a good workout in. Hanako seemed to have beat him to the punch, sitting down first, which sort of forced him to sit down as well. "Well I'm 14 now, even if it doesn't look that way.." He said, hinting at his small framed body which he was often wary of. "Your digivice is really important. You can scan cards to make your digimon powerful and it helps your digimon digivolve. You can use it find other digimon and scan their data and stuff. It's really useful!" Takato said enthusiastically, about to jump up at any time, but somehow he calmed himself down. "I'm sorry. I got a little bit excited."
