A walk to the park [OPEN]

Myashita Park. António didn`t know why he and Henrique kept coming here, but still...

"I out now?" Henrique asked from his bag

"No pal, not yet. Just wait a bit more, you`ll see. The park seems a bit empty today, so I guess it won`t be long before I let you out. How about some ice cream?" António suggested

"Yum!"

"Ok...Just you wait. And be silent k?"

´They walked a bit more. Indeed the park seemed to had fallen silent this saturday. António enjoyed it, as it reminded him of horror movies. That kind of atmosphere was exciting for him. And he was clearly not the only who was excited. His friend was struggling quite a bit inside the bag, despite his best attemots to keep quiet, like pormissed, António searched for a place to buy some ice cream and asked for two, then walked away to find a secure location. With care, he removed the bag from his back and put down the ice-cream on the bench before opening it. Henrique jumped off, happy.

"Hey buddy! Got your ice-cream..." he said

"Dimimon." Henrique commented.

"What?"

"Dimimon."

António picked up his bag and the ice-cream.

"Ok, let`s go. Lead the way."

"Yay!" Henrique jumped towards the bushes.

After not long of walking he found what they were looking for, a boy and his digimon were seemly arguing with each other.

"Hey there." António greeted and pointed at Henrique "Can we help? He tends to be good at settling arguments."

Henrique looked back at António confused by his words. It was completly obvious that his memories from he turned rookie never settled on his in-training form.

The boy was holding what seemed to be a small purple digimon, which was clearly struggling to get free throught biting and jumping. To Antonio there was a sort of comical atmosphere in the whole scene and it reminded him of when he had to chase Henrique around.
"Don't worry, they get over it eventually." Antonio replied to the boy's justification about his digimon's behaviour. Then the boy introduced himself as Tatsuya and his digimon as Dodomon. "Nice to meet you. My name is Antonio and this is my partner Henrique."
"Why you angwy?" Henrique asked the other digimon.
"By the looks of it, our partners may end up befriending each other. You can let your partner go, I'm sure we thought worse things than him. He is a... In training?"
"Yeah, good dimimon. Wanna be fwiends and pway?"
Henrique sure seemed eager to have some fun, despite the attempts of Dodomon to appear menacing. António knew he would hardly succeed, Henrique had the brain of a baby while In-training. He was almost happy and bouncing around, like at the moment. Still, António would have to keep na eye on both digimon. He couldn`t let Henrique get hurt.

"I hope so too." Antonio responded to the boys greeting. When the boy attempted to list the levels of digimon, Antonio didn't resist the urge to correct him. "Well, you forgot Super-Mega and, if wanna be really precise, the armors. Still, nice try. I guess you haven't been at this for long?"

Meaningwhile, Henrique was confused by the fresh digimon's first response, but the second one really made him happy, causing him to bounce around again.
"Yay!Dimimon pway! Yay!" Henrique chanted as hr bounced around. Then he stopped in front of dodomon. "Ok,we pway tag. I run, you catch. Weady? 1,2,3!"
Henrique turned and began to run, happy and unsuspecting.

Antonio was aware of Tatsuya's warnings, but he had a hard believing a fresh digimon would be actually bad. Mischiefious probably was a better word to describe it, and he sure it would go away, after a few fights he and Tatsuya would have together.
"Don't worry. You'll be friends. Sometimes things cost you friends, sometimes friends cost you things...but partners always become friends, and the greatest of them, believe me. and besides, I'm you have friends other than just your digimon. Haven't you met anyone else like us, tamers, spirit wielders, xros generals...maybe even solo digimon? And if the answer is still no, me and Henrique would be glad to fill that role. And you must at least have some school friends or family, anything."

"So you met a spirit wielder? Interesting... And well, it`s always better to turn into a digimon through spirit wielding, than well,...than the way Henrique did. Still, that seems weird, I mean, why did that guy try to kill your digimon?" Atónio replied "And sure, I will gladly fill the friend role and show how things work, at least as much as we know. Starting by teaching Dodomon a lesson."

António gave Tatsuya a quick smile and and even faster took out his digivice and pointed it at Henrique, who began to glow as he turned on the incoming Dodomon.

"Dumpyard Rain!" Henrique shouted, a wave of junk coming out of the boxes in his hands straight for Dodomon. Then he looked at his tamer, a look of satisfaction on his face "Tag."

"I`m not as naive as I may seem, thought between me and Henrique, I am the naive one. Except when he is a baby. Learn your lesson Dodomon. If you won`t be friendly because you and Tatsuya are friends, at lest be friendly because you might need allies." António explained "Now, what should we do now?"

"How about you give my ice cream before it finishes melting?" Henrique asked

"Oh, right I almost forgot. Here." António throwed the ice cream to Henrique, who grabbed it and swallowed it whole. "Hum....Henrique? I think the digimon is getting on to you."

"What do you mean?"

"You just swallowed an ice-cream whole, paper and all."

Henrique realised what he had done and covered his mouth in shame.

Henrique's attack hit Dodomon, leaving the fresh digimon quite grumpy. But at least Tatsuya seemed to understand and accept what Antonio was telling them. That was halfway there.

The ice-cream  and paper eating seemed to produce a similar feeling of awkwardness in both Tatsuya and Antonio. But the subject quickly changed, as Tatsuya posed a couple of questions.

"Well Digimon come from the digital world. Poping out of computer screens is one of the many ways they have to appear in our world, from what I heard. The case was a bit different with Henrique, but I did promisse to tell you. And besides, I told the story so many times, I'm not sure if it has any impact on me anymore. Well, here it goes: Henrique wasn't always a digimon. He was human. We were friends since young, and one day during a school trip, which didn't go all that well, we found a digivice. Of course, we had no idea what it didn't and when someone showed up claiming to know and offering us to go with him for a scientifical experiment I said yes and persuaded Henrique to do so as well, and later to take the experiment first. And as soon as the guy saw that the experiment turned Henrique into an egg with a hatching gloating eye, he took off running and left me with him. And later that night we found out we had been robbed, and I think you can guess by who." Amtonio explained. Henrique didn't say a word, he was still too embarrassed from the whole ice-cream incident.

"Don't worry about it, you aren't making all that many questions. But to answer your questions, digimon come from a place called the digital world. A whole world as crazy as this guys. Me and Henrique have been there before, once. If you want to we'll go there one of this days. But you'll have to make preparations, that place has everything and it's to find supplies in moat of it." Antonio replied.

"Antonio you do remember what happened the last time right?" Henrique commented.

"Yeah, I know, but there can't be a Beelzemon gang on every corner of the digital world right? Besides in just a few weeks we'll have a job, so we'll basicly settle down around here. And with so many people with digimon around with may not need to go the digital world to get into a fight. In fact we just have to be anywhere near Tatsuya's partner"Antonio joked. He laughted a bit, but was interrupted his stomach growling followed by Henrique's. "I guess that ice cream wasn't enought to fill in for lunch, huh? What do you say we have an early dinner?"

"Fine with me."

"We can go to that Italian restaurant from the other day, it was cheap enought. You wanna come too Tatsuya? Hiw about you Dodomon? They have courtins in front of the tables, so it's great to be able to eat next to our digimon."

They all took a good laugh from the way Dodomon confused charging money with charging at someone or something. Dodomon seemed a bit offended by it, but Tatsuya was quick to try to explain, to no avail. Still, Tatsuya agreed to go have dinner with them, worried however about how Dodomon would react to the crowd in the restaurant.

"I ain't gonna lie, that might be a problem, Dodomon being this agressive." Antonio said trying his best not to scare Tatsuya from coming along "But I'm sure we'll figure something out."

"Hey Dodomon, do you wanna play a game? I bet there is something you can't beat: your own desire for fighting. Some people just can't stop, they're single minded. Maybe you are one of them. I bet you couldn't play nice for a single night." Henrique interviened in a teasing way. His plan was obvious, but maybe given Dodomin was a baby, and a pridefull one, he would fall into the trick.

"Well said Henrique, but I think we should go. If you two still wanna come, please do." Antonio said and he turned and started walking away with Henrique.

(This is my thread exit. I suggest us starting another thread in a place for the restaurant. If you don't mind I'll make it my digi-mental hunt thread, I'm still missing that one and I wanted to get it soon.)
