Sweet Treats Still Require Feats [Meta]

Alpha laid there for a moment contemplating his life choices that lead to this situation that was going on right now while Beta was simply laying on top of him picking up the change around the two of them, she had absolutely zero intention of getting up anytime soon it would seem. "Nah, that's ok Sis. Take your time." Alpha said as he stared up at the ceiling, Beta, not understanding sarcasm simply smiled and nodded picking up more loose change around them.

However she stopped as Serena came over offering to help the two of them up, Beta took her hands without hesitation and let the girl pull her up while she grabbed Alpha and pulled him up with, more strength than a little girl like her should have, right up to a standing position. "Thanks Miss! I'm alright. We're tough." Beta said as she flexed her tiny noodle arms, not at all proving her point in the slightest. "We were being careful, but I got startled and lost my balance." Beta said a bit downcast at having fallen like that.

"Yeah, we're alright. Just got the wind knocked out, of uh?" Alpha stopped as he glanced behind Serena for a moment, looking right at Gem behind her, Beta looked over towards Alpha and followed his eyes landing right on the digimon in question.

"Big Sister! You're being haunted by a Gammamon!" Beta said, completely using the wrong description while also not at all worrying about if they knew what a Gammamon even was or not.

"No, Beta she's no- Eh never mind. Wait, those eyes. Gem?" Alpha and Beta had only met one other Gammamon around with eyes like that, but there was no way, Gem didn't have a partner before.

"Oh wow, Adrian you've really changed. Ah, did you evolve! I like this form more!" There was, so much wrong with that sentence the funnily enough even Alpha didn't know enough to be able to correct it!

We wanted to make sure we had enough to buy something before walking in, we're not used to counting money." Beta said looked at the yen coins confused. "Most of the time mom handles that stuff but she had to go visit a friend up north." Beta had no idea who this friend was but at the same time she didn't seem to be concerned with that, just the money thing.

Alpha and Beta both seemed confused at the question, Beta tilting her head to the side before responding. "Yeah? I mean he's a little harder to see but I can." Beta said pointing directly at the Gammamon without any hesitation, this did cause some people to glance at them but the moment they saw the twins were just kids their interest immediately left.

Alpha was going to mention where they knew him from but thankfully Gem realized who they were before he could tell them. "Yup it's us, yeah its been a bit. We've been uh. Training in secret for a while, it was nothing too much just couldn't get out of it." Alpha lied slightly, he just didn't wanna worry Gem about what was going on in their lives, if he found out the twins actually had gotten attacked then that might cause some panic.

"Yeah, we got super stronger. Even stronger then when we fought your dad! Plus I learned a bunch more about the digital world and Alpha started talking differently. " He did sound a lot more like Beta then he had before, almost hard to tell which one was talking at times.

"A pleasure to meet you, I'm Beta and this is Alpha. We're twins! and the children of two legendary heroes!" No more reincarnation talk, Beta was Jes' kid and she was sticking to that.

"What, human's can go traveling around our world but we can't visit once or twice?" Alpha joked but his mood seemed to shift a bit as he continued. "Honestly we're mostly here cause it's a lot safer for us, with all these tamers, those teams. Fight's don't happen too often here, least not ones we can't avoid."

"We get attacked a lot in the digital world, for now me and Alpha just kinda wanna know what being two little kids feels like. Even if it's not for that long." Beta added her attitude shifting down a little but, but she perked up right after. "And apparently, kids eat candy so that's why we're here!"

"Wait we don't?" Both of them looked genuinely shocked at that information, which the reason for being shocked would be revealed in a moment. "Honestly we never buy stuff ourselves, usually our mom goes out and gets stuff for us." Though Alpha's face switched to looking annoyed for a moment before adding. "We do have our own money but Beta won't let us break the piggy bank it's stored in." Which sadly was what they needed to do with it because it no longer fit out the little hole.

"You leave Mr. Wiggles out of this! He doesn't deserve to get hurt." She even had a name for it also, huh. Sounds about right.

"Then stop putting our money in there!"

"He gets hungry! And it said on the box he eats money!" Alpha simply waved off Beta's explanation, he understood she didn't want to hurt anything but like, it was a glass pig! It wasn't real but telling her that was more trouble than it's worth.

After that little thing tho the twins heard about the ability to make their Holo-suits invisible, Beta glanced at her current form before surprisingly shaking her head. "That's cool but, I like this Holo-Thingy, I get to wear a buncha outfits just like mom does!" Beta said giving a large twirl in a circle to show off her clothes. "I got a bunch and I get to match my brother, it's a lotta fun!"

"You mean like this right?" Alpha instantly switched tones regaining the same gruff voice he had before. "I used to do this all the time cause I didn't like the way I sound but..." Alpha smiled glancing over at Beta for a moment before adding. "Some people made me, happy to just be me." Alpha said dropping the voice as Beta gave him a hug.

"Oh? Yay! Thank you so much! C'mon Alpha lets go see." Beta said excitedly as she grabbed her twin by the arm and pulled him back towards the store.

"Thanks a lot, see you inside I guess!" Alpha said quickly as he was pulled by the stronger twin into the candy shop. When they got there Beta seemed a bit awestruck and Alpha was caught pretty close behind as well, there was a lot of stuff they had never seen before! It was a pretty intense experience for just starting out.

"Wow, I've never even heard of these names before! So many flavors too!" Beta said as she started grabbing and looking at random assortment of candy, picking out basically anything that looked interesting to her. Though she made sure to check the numbers on the side, it was the only thing she really knew about shopping but she didn't want to make that number go too high if she wasn't paying.

Alpha meanwhile glanced over at what Serena had mentioned, walking over to the selection. "Well, you're the expert here so might as well." Alpha said looking at the colors, he didn't really understand flavors in general at the moment so he just grabbed one with a red label and one with a blue label to match the twins cloaks.

All and all the duo seemed really happy, Beta's face was beaming and Alpha had a smile as they looked around, though both seemed like they had no idea just WHAT they were looking for it was nice.

Yay, someone agreed with Beta on something, which made the young girl smile. Though she then looked confused for a moment. "Picture? What's that." Surprisingly that seemed to be something that neither twin knew about, she looked over at Alpha and he shrugged, was it a human world thing? "Eh, regardless I wanna see!"

Beta had no idea what any of this stuff was but it looked great! And while she was grabbing randomly she overheard Gem asking if she had that before. "Nope! I haven't had anything here before, but I've heard a lot of good things. I wanna try it all!"

As Alpha grabbed his stuff Serena mentioned all the stuff she used to do with her parents, a reward treat. Being as close as can be. Alpha's memory slowly drifted back to before Beta and Ciel, back then he did everything he could to try and get Myotismon's attention, he wanted to be that close with him but, thinking about that now made the Hackmon's stomach churn. However he managed to quickly shake that feeling off. "Sounds like a lot of fun while it lasted though, I'd ask my mom to come with me and Beta but, she's always seems so busy I, get worried about asking." Ciel definitely wouldn't react like Myotismon but, the idea that it could be bad tended to freeze Alpha in his tracks.

Gem mentioned doing all that stuff with Serena now, which made Alpha smile a bit. "I don't understand how tamers work still but, good to see you two get along so well at least." When mentioned spending their lives together though Alpha looked over to Beta, she was looking at everything with such wonder and amazement, just happy to be here. "Yeah we are, for a long time I didn't even know I had a twin but, now that she's here I, I can't imagine ever being apart."

Then came to the question of their parents, which Beta had an answer for them, calling over to them with a smile. "Our mom's a Sistermon named Ciel, she's crazy strong! She spent a looooooooong time learning how to fight from others. She's gentle, sweet and pretty!" As to where she was Beta also had an answer to that. "She's passed out at her workshop, she's being doing a lot of training lately to make sure she can keep us safe. We didn't want to wake her so we came here since it's pretty safe."

As for their father, Alpha had that one. "Our dad, isn't with us anymore but, from what we know he was seen as a legendary hero, he has our red eyes and was a Jesmon. We never got the chance to meet him but we hear a lot of stories from other people and mom." Alpha paused for a moment as once again Myotismon came to mind. "Yeah, Jes is my father. I mean, our." Alpha corrected ridding the vampire from his head.

"O.K!" Beta responded with a smile, learning more stuff was always good. Whatever this picture thing was she'd learn it better than anyone else, the more she learned about the human world the better after all. Though once she got into the store those concerns were dropped when Gem mentioned something about not being able to have all of it, alongside something else. "Sick? What's that?" thankfully, more for her sake then anything else Beta had never gotten sick before, nor did she really know about stuff like that. Alpha knew but sadly he was busy talking to Serena instead of listening to all of Beta's questions.

Alpha could feel his face get a bit hot at the look Serena gave him, she was right it was definitely a lame excuse. "Yeah I know, I just. I'm not used to someone doing so much for me, mom and Beta tell me it's all in my head but, it's hard for me to imagine them wanting to spend time with me for some reason." It was still pretty unreal to him that they cared this much about the Hackmon, it wasn't something he was going to get used to overnight.

"Yup! We've only been together for about a year and a half I think, which is also the amount of time I've been awake so far, it's been great! I love every single day!" That was definitely a bit telling on their situation.

Before Alpha could reply Serena got very close to Alpha's causing his already slight embarrassment to just become a lot more obvious, not used to anyone doing that, not even Beta at this point. "Uhh, well. Long story short an enemy of our father sealed up Beta and our mom in a locked room using some weird ability to make them sleep, for some reason he tried to raise me as his kid but eventually I found them and ran off with Beta and Ciel." Which would probably explain Alpha disposition on spending time with the two of them, and his worry about their mom.

"We left her a note, used one of her little notepad things and stuck it to her head. We should be fine so long as we stick around crowded places in the human world, plus me and Alpha ain't no slouches when it comes to fighting either." Beta said smiling as she punched her open palm with a shocking amount of force for her frame. "Mom told us that if we're in trouble just make a huge fuss and Tamers will start running to check it out, for saftey only of course." Beta added that last part with a laugh, not like they should start fights randomly. "Oh I get that, our mom can yell pretty loudly too! Apparently a lotta digimon feel like battle cries are important and she learned from all of em!" Oh boy.

"Yeah, getting sad won't help anything. You done picking stuff out Beta?" Alpha glanced over at his sister who had a decently sized bag of treats, all of different flavors and different styles of candy. Too much for the narrator to care about listing it all but just know there was two pieces each, one for her and one for Alpha.

"Yup! There was a buncha pretty colors and shapes I didn't know what to pick, so I just grabbed a few. Not too much though, Moderation in things!" Beta said repeating a line Ciel had said before, she didn't know what it fully meant but luckily for Serena's wallet she had the right idea!

Despite Gem's definitely more childish explanation on what Sick was, Beta was also a kid so she fully understood what he meant. "Oh no! Definitely want to avoid that at all costs!" So from now on she would never ever get sick because that sounded horrible to deal with!

Serena had some decently good advice for dealing with Alpha's problems, honestly it was the same advice he got a lot of the time. Just stop the feeling and that it's nothing but bad thoughts. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Though he did that a lot, was that all that was needed? Maybe it was that simple and he was just overcomplicating it. After all so far most people who have met him seems to like him, maybe he didn't need to know the exact reason why...

"Yeah the digital world can be a pretty harsh place, But ultimately, I'm fine just, the fact that Beta and mom went through that while I got off easy, always hurts a b-" Before Alpha could finish though Beta covered his mouth with her hand, preventing him from talking.

"Me and Mom keep telling you Alpha, you can't keep thinking you got off easier than us! It was a bad situation all around but, the moment it came down to doing the right thing you did it instantly." Beta quickly moved over to a hug right after pulling her twin in close. "You saved me Alpha, gave me a chance to live. Never forget that" From that, without saying anything it would seem Gem was right, despite the bad situation they were ok for now, they'll be fine.

As Serena and Gem went through what to buy it would seem that Gem reeeeeeeally liked his chocolate, like to an insane degree. "Is it that good?" Beta asked, it must be considering the fact that Gem wanted so much, thankfully Serena managed to pull him back surprisingly easily.

And then she instantly lied to the clerk with absolutely no issue, like it was the simplest thing around. "Hey, she's about as good as you are at that!" Beta said quietly as she bumped shoulders with Alpha, seems lying was a trait even humans could easily have.

Beta's eyes lit up once Serena handed the candies over to the digimon, she was ready to just dig in right then and there, before that though the obvious answer to sit down somewhere came up first. "Alrighty! C'mon Alpha!" Beta used her free hand to grab Alpha's before walking ahead, making sure to keep holding her brothers hand as the two made their way over to find a place to sit, despite the fact that neither of them really knew where that would be!
