Wednesday 11: 30 pm, midnight is near. A young boy wearing a red sports jackets unzipped, a black shirt underneath. "Damn it, I have not realized it got this late. Well anyways hopefullybI can still take a train back to san-gen jaya, this is why I hate parties" The young man rubbed the back of his neck as he looked annoyed, he was at a party celebrating the end of highschool with his fellow classmates but the night just passed by them. But that's behind him now, he looked at his phone sighing as he notices he only has 15% left in his battery. He then but his phone back in his pocket and walked towards the station, thinking about his future and what he should do from now on.
He reached the station before realizing it, as he was lost in the sea of thought. Questioning a lot of thinga including whether to change his hobby into a fully fledged job or not , and many more things about his future but he realized that he reached the station "crap, I must dozed of. The fact that this place is almost empty makes it kinda creepy, but whatever I just need to go back" The boy murmured, as he took his phone from his pocket and took a quick look at his watch.
But it was not going to be this simple, as Ren was suddenly attracted to an elevator that he thought was closed only to see in front of it a giant yellow and white egg. And his first instinct was to grab and lift it "the hell is this ? Must be some kinda joke but why ? And man the craftsmanship on this egg is impressive, got hand it to whoever made it they are stupid but talented" Ren began examining the egg thoroughly, as he grew more and more unaware of his surroundings.

"Don't go getting that stuff in my hair now."
Talia had insisted the rabbit eat her precious ice cream in a cup as opposed to a cone, despite her partner's insistence for otherwise. Unfortunately the image of holosuited Lopmon spilling goopy vanilla ice cream all over her precious leather jacket. "I'll be careful, I promise!" Hackmon in his typical fashion had proceeded to swallow his scoop of ice cream whole and probably the cup and spoon had Talia not intervened, which got the girl to thinking - while holosuited, would such a move affect him as if he was an actual fox or as a digimon? Based on the fact they seemed to retain most of their digimon-like behavior she'd have guessed the latter - holosuits were really just skin deep. "Also, you know most rabbits don't eat ice cream with a spoon like a person right?" Talia asked the question as they headed downstairs to catch a train back home The hare scoffed, repulsed by the thought of being compared to a common beast. "Tch, I'm a digimon, not a lettuce chewing bimbo who defecates in hay." Nope, the little hare had come to prove to Talia she was quite the little diva, taking pleasure in bossing around her brother, and yet oddly kind and gentle. "As you wish, my queen." The smartass comment earned Talia a glare.
Speaking of little brother, the furry fox was taking utmost pride in his leather harness, shoulders back, head raised, having been a bit hesitant about the whole playing a pet thing but had decided he looked rather handsome both as a silver fox and in the soft brown lead. The three had spent the day putzing around the city, Talia showing the twins her favorite places in the area and just overall banking in some much needed bonding time - the girl worked so much that she'd sort of felt guilty leaving the pair alone as often as she did and since the company's latest project was at an antler lock (due to delays and such, it was fairly common) the blonde had opted to take the day off with the twins. "Don't worry Talia, no one's around to see us anyway - hey!" Seeing Ren holding a digiegg sparked the attention of Foxy Hackmon enough his leash slipped from Talia's hand, dashing over to the two, apparently forgetting he was holosuited. "H-hackmon come back, you can't just - I mean - Todd! Come back Todd, bad fox!" The twins had progressed to their rookie forms, but their level of impulse control was unfortunately still the same. Used to her brother's childlike behavior, Lopmon continued to enjoy her custard, opting to let her human foolishly get involved instead. "Eh, she'll learn one day."

Ren was so focused on the egg so much that he was seperated from reality, something about its placement and apperance caught the young man's interests "What are you !?" Ren said not knowing that some one is probably close, his mind went completly blank unable to figure out a logical answer for his question. he spins the egg around trying to study its structure, but try as he may he is not learning anything from it. to the point where is despair and frustration is clearly obvious in his facial expression, at this point the outer world does not exist to him.
moments after he heard a voice call out for something, he did not hear it clearly but it was enough to snap him out of his thought. he then turned around and a saw a young woman with a long flowing blonde hair "He- woah!" Ren gasped out of shock as the fox ran towards him , he fell to the ground almost dropping the egg. out of his jacket fell a device, it was black and silver but Ren did not notice it. the device's screen lit up and the word hatching right now, too bad Ren did not see it.
a quick glance at the fox and he noticed a leash on it, assuming the fox was the woman's pet as it looked like a domestic fox. "Ah geez I must have drifted off, your fox caught me by suprise." He said as he got up and brushed off the dirt with his right hand, as he is holding the egg with his left hand. the egg began to slowly shake, it is not clear unless you look directly at it.
"ah where is my manners hello nice to meet you, the name's Ren, Ren yoshida what brings you here now ? " Ren asked his brow raised with intrigue, and who can blame him ? the woman is walking a fox at night, and what it seems like a bunny with her.

"Todd here is a bit mischievous, forgive him." She bent down to her knees, scooping up the bushy tailed creature, stroking his soft smoky toned fur as the creature affectionately nuzzled her, making fox cries that sort of sounded like meowing with high frequency. "If you can't tell, he likes to act cute when he makes trouble." While not nearly as soft as his holosuit, Hackmon, despite looking metallic on the outside, she'd found was actually quite comfortable to cuddle with like a puppy dog, or maybe that was just because of their little bond.
And for a creature that resembled a bunny Lopmon had a hilarious aversion to cuddles, declaring herself too mature for them - basically, she was the older of the twins and would likely never let poor Hackmon live it down. That of course didn't mean Talia listened, she snuggled that rabbit whenever she damn well pleased. "I'm Talia and this is Todd and uhhh... Tohru." It was cute and she couldn't think of anything else at the moment - actually come to think of it she'd never given the twins actual names, or even asked if they had them. "Me? Ah well..just taking my pets for a casual night stroll, Todd here y'know had to do his business."
Dismally, Talia's teasing was a domino effect as the fox glared at her with red cheeks. "H-hey don't tell people about what I do in the bath-" He covered his mouth realizing he'd given himself away, Talia making a bit of an 'eep' sound, thinking for a minute how to explain the reasoning behind a talking fox. "Cool right? He's uhhh...an AI in the form of a fox, a prototype from the company I work for!" Lopmon however, had been watching the moving egg while finishing her ice cream and saw no need to hide herself more. "You have a digimon, little human! Or will, very shortly." The rabbit jumped off her human's shoulder, hopping toward the egg. "Lopmon!" Foxy Hackmon followed his sister, making Talia sigh dramatically. "Well, guess the cat - fox is out of the bag."

Ren looked at the fox intently something about him felt different, but he couldn't put his fingers on it. Then Talia asked Ren to forgive...... Todd? that was a weird name for a fox, well Talia did look like a foriegner so that would explain a lot of things. "Well its no big deal foxes are playful creatures after all" he said with a faint chuckle, possibly out of embarrassment. He then looked at the egg to make sure nothing happened to it during the fall, he really does not want any trouble but the egg is too interesting for him to just let go of it.
"Well its nice to meet you Talia. I would say its a little late for a walk but, here I am" Ren then paused for a moment, thinking of a way to phrase his next question without being offensive. "Umm...if you do not mind me asking you are not japanese right ?" He said looking a little embarrassed from his question. It was just he never met a non japanese person before in his life, hoping that his question did not anger her.
A moment later something weird happened the fox TALKED!!? Ren jaw dropped his eyes bugging out for a second, "What just happened, did Todd just talk ? No it can't be." After talking a deep breath and hearing Talia's fake explanation that he decided to accept as he can wrap his head around that "oh an AI thats cool, technology is amazing" He said with a fake smile, honestly lying to himself only made it worse on himself but what else can he do ?
But then the bunny talked aswell telling him that he has a digimon with him, "what ? Ok guys this is getting scary, what is digimon and what does it have to do with me ? " Ren said as he walked backwards slowly. As he did he accidentally stepped on the digivice that was on the floor "what is this ? Was it always here. Ready to hatch.....what? " after he said the egg began to shake violently and before he could react the egg hatched and a blinding light filled the area for a single second, hindering Ren's vison.
After its gone, a yellow blob with a red horn was floating in front of Ren "Greetings earthlings, I am the great fufumon looking for a great human named Ren Yoshida, have you seen him ?" The blob said with a smile on its face. Ren on the other hand was speechless and said nothing, the poor kid had a lot of information dropped on him in a short amount of time. He wondered if this blob was a digimon ?

The blonde shook her head. "Nope, just an American that came here to study abroad, got too attached to the culture and never left." Back in those days she'd have taken any job just to afford to stay here - as a matter of fact she'd once found herself working both in a flower shop and grocery store just to save extra money for a months worth of rent after her graduation. "Yeahhhh people apparently like these animatronic talking animal things - I see them all the time in the toy department at stores so I guess our marketing department figured try and push sales toward the world of adults, although I'm not what adult would have time to play with these-" she'd been cut off by Lopmon speaking, sighting dramatically. "Uhhh I can show you? It's kinda hard to explain." Soon where the rabbit and fox stood now stood a bipedal looking hare with dragon like features wearing a red hood, joined by a dragon with metallic scales wearing a matching red hood, the blonde kneeling between them proudly. "These are my partners, Lopmon and Hackmon, you could say they're kinda far from home."
After Fufumon hatched and introduced himself, the twins curiously migrated over to the new being, Lopmon gently and protective scooping the yellow blob in her arms, stroking the top of his head a bit. "So cute! I wonder if I met one in the digital world before." Hackmon watched the smaller creature curiously, wondering if he'd been that tiny at one point in time. "Don't scare him Hackmon! He's new, we must protect him until he can manage on his own!" The blonde couldn't help but giggle watching the two of them fuss over the baby like proud siblings. "So uhh..to put it short, computers are spitting out these creatures from a digital plane, a lot of them seem to be pre-matched to humans. Aka, congrats its a...Fufumon."
(sorry its late, Im slow AF)

Ren suspicion was on point, Talia was infact not Japanese but an american. He was not going to treat any different, he was just curious."so an american huh ? I am glad that you liked it here. " he said with an honest smile on his face, as a Japanese that brought him a certain degree of pride, Ren might not seem like it but he is a very patriotic man who is in love with his country. Ren then listened to Talia's fake explanations, his facial expression made it obvious that he did not believe her, he was not an idiot but he chose to believe her lie that was atleast somewhat convincing I guess. but alas the illusion was not meant to last as the bunny also spoke, leading him to panic once more.
"far from home ? partners ? what ? I have so many questions " Ren was understandably confused, he backed away slowly before stepping on the digivice accdientaly. "wait what ?" he said as he picked up the device, looking at curiosly turning it around trying to understand it. "is this related to the egg ?" he said as he began to calm down a little bit.
Fufumon on the other hand just let out a purr, not fighting lopmon's hug "Fufufufufufufu" is all what he could say when Lopmon patted its head, smiling happily like a bubbling idiot. Unaware of its environment only seeking Ren, which is probably his partner as that is all it knows.
"Wait, so you are telling me that that egg came out of a computer, and is matched with me ? If I am not seeing your partners and this fufumon with my own eyes I would have called you a crazy person. " He said chuckling, fixing his glasses into position as his initial fall left them uneven. "But that does not answer my original question, why me ? I don't understand, and what is this computer they come from " Ren said, his tone got alot more seirous in an instant, as the scariest thing about this situation is the fact that he has zero knowledge and everything is unknown to him.
(Its ok xD)

"I did! I was doing an internship that offered me a full time job after I graduated and I didn't really see any reason to turn it down." Why go back to the states jobless to a broken family when she had everything she wanted right here? "Sure I miss some stuff from home and I'll always be an American girl at heart but this is where I ended up building a life for myself! How about you, are you in school?" If there was anything she could be relieved about it was that she hadn't needed to attend high school here, just for the sake of how rigorous it seemed - school had never been her favorite thing in the entire world, not the studying part (she liked learning things unlike most people), just the same mundane routine day after day, the cranky teachers, the way students were made to feel like they were in a strict dictatorship, how so much of it seemed to be one big babysitting game, etc.
If she really tried, she could have been an A student, but the hierarchy of high school unfortunately prevented that - it was funny how teachers were strict but bullying was something people got away with on a daily basis - pretending to be an average student saved her from that. "I'd be happy to answer your questions, but I'm not sure if this the best place to do it." This subway station was a little too public for that - anyone could walk in whenever. "Yup, we're digimon, digital monsters!" Well there was one question answered, thank you twins. "Guys, maybe you shouldn't use the word monster, you'll scare him." She'd come to find that their word context and human context was as different as day and night. "But we were introducing ourselves!" At least their intentions were benevolent? "When humans think of monsters they think of the bad ones, you know like in Robot Monster that you watched with Carlos and Dio." It was one of those 'so cheesy and ridiculous its funny' pictures, one that had kept the two of them awake for days (and forced Talia to hide the spaghetti strainers and anything similar of the sort).
"He's so so cute! I remember when you were this small Hackmon." The dragon rolled his eyes. "We were babies at the same time dummy!" Even if they were twins Lopmon for whatever reason liked to think she was the older one of the two, if anything the mature one. "Yeah, but you're still my kid bro!" She'd said as she affectionately put an arm around the dragons neck and rubbed the top of his head with her free arm. "S-stop, that tickles Lopmon, hehehe, I'm not ticklish, hehe!" Their bond was such an adorable sight to see, one that only the two of them could understand. "Random chance?If I knew I would tell you! All I know is that Fufumon is your responsibility now, hope you're a pet person!"
