It was late, Timothy was late getting home, everything felt slow, and he was trying to go fast. Not a good combo. He had run through the train station he had memorized many a time, only never this late. It was crowded, if he wasn't careful, he'd be lost for sure. Timothy was busy forcing his way through the crowd to even know where he was going now. "Oh great... At this rate, my parents will kill me... And why am I talking to myself?" He honestly didn't know why he was talking to himself, or if he had always done it and was now just noticing. His only goal was the train in front of him now, he didn't know where it was taking him due to all the people blocking his view, he only knew it'd have to hopefully be the right one that he normally takes. He stole a glance at the time before being blocked by people again, 10:01, way past the time he was trying to get home at. He was now sweating of nervousness, "How can you even be so nervous..." He raced onward through this seemingly impossible crowd, by the time he reached the train, he wouldn't even bother to see if it was headed towards his home at this point, he was just hoping. He ran into the train and sat himself down. Oddly enough, it was empty, and he couldn't for the life of him tell why...

Crowds. The one thing Shi hated more then anything. He was just on his way home alongside Yasuo and Yuudai figuring they should just go later, it was Yuudai who kept begging them to go later, just stay a little longer. And they listened, and this was what they got for it. With a heavy sigh Shi leaned against a pile pulling out his phone and looking at it, it wasn't that late but there was a lot of people around, maybe he could duck somewhere and wait for everyone to leave. People pushing one another trying to block others from moving, yeah he hates crowds with a passion.
With a sigh he gave a quick glance to his partners, luckily in suits to look human but one was missing, he looked to the blind haired golden eyes teen that remained before sighing. "Yuudai, where's Yasuo? He asked calmly, the golden eyes youth shrugged as Shi gave a small sigh before going off to find him. Eventually out of the corner of his eye he saw a blond get stuffed into a train by the crowd, and with a mix of red it was clear who it was.
Yasuo having tried to push his way though somehow managed to get thrown on a train, a empty one. He didn't notice which one it was but why was it empty. He stood up before dusting himself off as Yuudai and Shi managed to get on also. "You ok?" Shi asked the teen before glancing over, only one person on this train. That was weird he hadn't noticed which one he got on but this was weird.

Timothy looked towards Shi as he enters the train and then waited until he asked his question, "Uhh... Yeah, crowds are horrible tonight." He looked around at the train, everything seemed perfectly normal, so why was no one on it? He continued looking around for any sign of where this train could be going or why it was empty, it made absolutely zero sense to Timothy. He looked out the window and saw some door-frame like devices that you would often see on a plane terminal to scan for metal objects. Why would one of those be there, and more importantly, how did he not notice going through it?
Timothy didn't put any more thought on the devices and looked back to Shi, trying to think of a thing to say. There was only one other person on this train and everyone seems to be ignoring it for some reason. "No one else is on the train... Odd, right?" He wasn't too sure this was the best question, but it worked fine for him. Timothy continued looking around for some clue as to where this train was gonna go.

Shi noticed the only other person say something, something the teen fully agreed with. "Yeah, horrible every night though." She responded with a small sigh, maybe he could wait here since no one was coming on this train he would be safe, though the question of why there was no one on this train still messed with his mind more then he would like, but for all he knew this was a trailmon, but he silently hoped there was another reason for this. Taking a small glance around he saw the same thing the other person saw, but quickly disregarded it.
Shi then noticed the other person had said something else. "Yeah, odd." he muttered in agreement, though in retrospect they could just not be caring since this wasn't the train they should be taking, but Shi knew better and figured there was probably a better reason. "But, why are you here?" Shi asked wondering why he stayed, was it like him since no one else was on or did he know what he was doing?.

Timothy gave a shrug to the other passenger, "I'm just hoping this train is going in the direction of Tokyo and for once it's empty." Now that he had said it aloud, he realized how ridiculous it sounded. He now was wondering exactly why the train hadn't left yet, and why he felt like he was sitting on something. Timothy had moved a little, showing some discomfort, not noticing the small black and blue device that had fallen onto the floor. He continues looking around the train, still wondering why it hasn't left. Timothy looks outside the other window just to see a wall, then back at the thing in the station, noticing the walls by it. Did he go somewhere he wasn't supposed to, is he asleep, or is he just even more lost than he's ever been? He quickly pinched himself to confirm if he was asleep or not, letting out a small wince. Nope, he still felt pain, so that means he's either lost, in some place he's not supposed to be, or both. He then took some more time to think and concluded that he isn't in some place he's not supposed to be because no one has gone after him yet. Timothy got up from his seat, knocking the small device that fell from his seat into the middle of the train car, and said, "I'm gonna go see what's going on up in the control car thing." With that, he walked over to the control car, opening it to see nothing. He then looked back at the other passenger and said, "The control car thing is empty, not a single part..." He was so confused now, what train didn't even have some form of automation?

If Shi was honest he would admit how weird that sounded, a train going to Tokyo would be packed with business people and other assortment of people, no this train was most likely going someplace else, some place Shi knew fully well. Once he said that he would go and check the control car Shi noticed it, a small device he at first mistook for his own, bending down he picked it up before notcing the blue design on it. He quickly reached into his pocket before pulling out his own black and grey version of the same device. Stalling for a moment as he got up he turned his head just in time to notice the other person say the train had no conductor.
Shi stood up before walking over to him device in hand, he then handed the device to the stranger. "Is this yours? It fell from your seat." Shi asked handing it over to him. One of the blond haired companions next to Shi looked at his brother before noting what he said. "No conductor, no one on the train, no one noticing." he said before the other one finished his thought. "You mean, oh yeah I guess it would make more sense." the other muttered out.

Timothy looks at the device, "Uhh, I've never seen that thing before, what is it?" He looked around the train wondering why it was empty. He then looked back at the device, having never seen anything like it before. Is it some sort of mobile phone, maybe a game system, or even some sort of fancy new mp3 player. He was going to ask something else right as the train starts moving, throwing him back a little. A voice came out of nowhere saying, "Next stop, the Digital World." It came from the walls, or around them, or the train itself? Timothy didn't know, nor did he care to know, he was now more curious about where they're going, "The Digital world? What's that?" Timothy decided that wherever they were off to, it was too late to stop now anyways and it definitely wasn't Tokyo.
This whole experience is very new to Timothy, he's already trying to figure out what it is on the way there. He has never heard of such a place and he's been to quite a few places. He begins asking questions aloud, not really expecting an answer, just asking for the sake of asking. "What does this place look like? Who would leave a gadget like that lying around? And why am I talking to myself again?" Seriously, why does he do that, soon enough, people are going to think he's insane.

Shi figured he never would of seen this before, but judging by everything he has went through before Shi knew a thing or two about the digital world, and the random way people get digivices. Now the train was moving and Shi was now stuck going to the digital world yet again. Yuudai would be happy. "The digital world, it's a whole world connected to this one." Shi said with such firmness in his voice it would be hard to tell him he was lying.
"It looks similar to this one, and the device is yours." Shi said before handing off the device once again. "I know, because I've been to the digital world multiple times." Shi said using his other hand to reach in and take out his own device before showing the stranger. Shi would of continued but he figured he would let the aspect of a whole new world sink into this person for a moment, it was hard to swallow.

Timothy takes a moment after receiving the digivice to let this all sink in. He'said going to another world right next to his own, or linked, or connected? He looks back down at the digivice and then asks, "We'll then... Seeing as this train has already headed towards said Digital World and I have this device relating to it... What's next about this place?" He can now confirm that he is, in fact, lost.
Timothy only now notices the strangers two companions. "You guys have been... Quiet? Is something wrong?" He wasn't sure if that was rude in any way, or if it even counts anymore. He kept looking from left to right in hopes of seeing something.

Shi was glad this person didn't object, either due to the fact that he was already heading there on a train, or he was nice enough to hear the would normally be called crazy Shi out on this whole event. "Well, considering you have the same device as me. That means you're going to get a resident of that world as a partner, or two." twins were common, or just rare and Shi happened to have them also.
Yuudai looked up before shrugging. "Nah I'm just not talking much since I like to let Shi explain stuff he's good at it. Yasuo is also but he might not be one you want to openly ask." Yuudai said as Yasuo shook his head. "Nothings wrong, just don't have much to say other then we know of the digital world also." Best to save the we are actually dinosaurs speech for when they actually get to the digital world.

Timothy spend at least fifteen minutes processing all of this, by now the train was probably halfway there. What do they look like, will there be more people, and is it at least semi-safe there? These were all questions that came to mind. He eventually looked up from his thoughts and asked, "So, if we all have partners, where are your partners?" He continued thinking up questions, but only asked the seemingly important ones. "Do you know how we generally find out partners?"
Timothy had so many questions, but so little time, and didn't want to annoy Shi with all of them. However, he continued on with the ones that struck him as important. He looked down at the device in his hand and pushed a few buttons, not sure what he's doing at all. "Uhh, how do I use this device and what is it called?" After that question he realized the only thing he hadn't thought to ask was for Shi's name, even though he already heard it. "So, your name's Shi, right? I'm Timothy."

Shi simply grabbed his digivice once he asked where his partners were. "Right behind me." he said simply as he pressed a few buttons on his digivice disengaging the Holo suit which made the twins behind him look human. Yasuo and Yuudai suddenly shifted from the blond haired golden eyed twins to two dinosaur like creatures, two Agumon. Yuudai the one in the left was the normal one, while Yasuo on the other hand had red arm bands surrounding his hands. "The way we find them is always depends on the person, but most of the time it's a bit after you get your digivice." Shi explained putting his digivice away.
"The device is called a digivice. Its model D-3. There are others but those are reserved for others with, well let's just say others with different powers then from what I and my partners have to save time." Shi explained, best not to say all the different types of tamers. "It has different functions you can put on it, but it's main function is allowing you to make your partner stronger. I would demonstrate but, well if I did these two wouldn't fit on the train." Shi admitted. "And yes my name is Shi, nice to meet you. Any questions you have I would be happy to answer, I've been at this for a while and I know how it feels to have all this information fronted at you all at once."
Yuudai simply smiles and waved. "Heyo named Yuudai, my brother next to me is named Yasuo. We're both Agumon. Digimon is another term for us though."

Timothy sees the two Agumon and jumps a bit in surprised, "W-w-wait, you both aren't people?! You're... Agumon?" He says Agumon as if he's trying to sound it out. He mumbles silently to himself, "Well, this isn't just the greatest prank ever..." He then thinks for a moment about what he just witnessed and heard, "So... You're both Agumon, and this device can make one's partner stronger, and I'm gonna get a digimon in some way or another, and- This is a lot to take in, but I think I got the gist of it. So, what do you mean by getting stronger?" Timothy really wished he had brought some form of notebook with him, or if he would know to prepare himself to get all this information.
Timothy looks around the train, "Is there any other Digimon around, or are they all at the Digital World." As he finishes saying this, the train says, "We're approaching the Digital World, it'll only be five to ten more minutes." Timothy looks up, "What should I do once we arrive, just go off and search for my partners?" He actually had no clue on what to do, he really wished there was some brochure for this or something.

Yuudai just smiles his normal large grin. "Yup I'm not a person, pretty convincing huh? I have this human thing down." Yuudai said triumphantly. Yasuo just shrugs figuring his brother would do enough talking for the both of them. Shi waited for him to finish before nodding. He got the gist of it. "Well by stronger I mean different forms you can change into, it goes from Fresh, to In training, to Rookie, to Champion, to Ultimate and finally to Mega level. I myself have up to Mega level. The forms come naturally with time and experence. Everyone has a different pace and depends on the type of person and digimon combo." Shi quickly explained.
Yuudai perked up when hearing that, they were going back to the digital world. "Most of the time digimon are just in the digital world, there are quite a few in the human world. But it's a secret that we can't afford to let out. So please keep it a secret." Shi added then headed the announcement. Yuudai headed what he said and decided to offer. "We could come with you and look, Mr and my brother are powerful so we could help you find it." Yuudai again offered without asking anyone else in the group, his mouth always runs ahead of his wit in situations like this.

Timothy looked at Yuudai, "Umm, sure, so long as you're all fine with it. Don't want to be in the way if you guys are going somewhere else or anything." He then looked around some more, glad he's gotten most of this down now. He then asked, "So, when I find my partner I'm guessing they'll be in their 'fresh' form?" He continued thinking about all of this, "Also, would this be a digimon or am I jumping to conclusions?" He finally stopped thinking of questions, knowing that anything else will probably be answered once he's there.
Timothy was now ready to get off the train and see this new world, he was actually starting to get excited at seeing this Digimon and was half looking at the door. He looked back down at his digivice again and was wondering what he'd have as a partner. "This is so cool..." Right as he says this, the train started slowing down, saying, "We're approaching the station now, get ready to depart, I have more people to pick up you know! Well, actually I don't know, but whatever, you get the point."
