Why was he so red? "Uhm, uh, I think it must be the sun. Y-yeah, sometimes when my armour gets hot, it gets redder." Nevermind that Rinji was looking like a freshly cooked lobster from all the blushing.
"Coolmon and Rinji's Jamming Jives, it is then!" Rinji laughed as he entered the store with Coolmon. "Oh! I think these are the phones!" The excitement creeping into his voice as he rushed to the phones on display. The shelves were stacked with human brand phones, and even a couple of digimon brands. They ranged from old flip-phones to cutting edge smart-tech phones.
"I suppose these ones are the newest models?" He said, referencing the touch-screen smartphones. "Should we ask someone?" The phones were on display in such a way that one could pick-up and demo them, but as always, Rinji wasn't entirely sure what to do.

"Man, am I glad I don't wear anything like...black or something. Did you know that's the worst color to wear on a hot day?" Maybe pink was like...also really bad to wear. It seemed super warm. It was actually Coolmon being super, duper red. Nonetheless, with shared laughter, the two entered the store, with the rosy rabbit (...isn't that a cartoon?) staring at the phones. Man.
What even was this? "...I feel like an alien setting foot on Planet Earth..." She mumbled, stumbling over towards one of the touch screens and...tapping an icon on it.
The screen then loaded...
...
Rustled Biyomon.
"...Is it bad I've never seen one of these before and have no idea what to do here? Because I've not only never seen this before, I have no idea what to do here...Uh...Shoot, let's ask someone!"

"Oh, maybe that's why Devimon's always so angry?" The thought of the ever-so-infamous dark digimon came to mind as Coolmon commented on the colour black. He was glad that he was red, now. There again, Coolmon was starting to look quite red as well.
"Uh okay, um, excuse me?" Rinji tried to call over what appeared to be a staff digimon.
Said 'staff digimon' turned around, eyes gleaming and green-staff apron whipping in the non-existent wind. "Customers! Customers! How can I be of service to you? Do you need me to demo something? Or did you want to buy something?" A (was that a blue Biyomon?) yelped, brimming with enthusiasm.
What a coincidence that this Biyomon was almost just like the one on the mobile screen that Coolmon had just touched, apart from the colour switch.

"I'd...really not be surprised if that were the case...Maybe it's like that for all Digimon like that? Eheh...I dunno, I'm just babbling at this point. Or ranting." ...Did the AC break? Either way...Oh, geez, uh. Coolmon took a moment or five to look down at the screen. What was she supposed to do? Tap it? She tapped it and a bird flew into some...poorly rendered Oinkmon. Coolmon felt a vendetta. She looked up towards the overtly enthusiastic customer with a smile and...
...That Biyomon looks like the one on the phone. Oh no. Coolmon, don't crack a joke. No, no. Think CAREFULLY.
"...Yeah so me and my really nice buddy here were looking for...uh...Rin, was it holosuits or cell phones?" WHAT DID WE COME HERE FOR AGAIN?
"...Okay yeah let's go with both of those. Neither of us have used either so we're kiiiinda lost here."

"Umm..." Rinji was about to reply to Coolmon, but before he could, Biyomon butted in.
"Oh! Ohh," the Biyomon looked thoughtful, not noticing how the birds Coolmon had been playing with on the demo phone looked strikingly similar to her. "Nope! We got banned from selling holo-suits here. Wait! I wasn't supposed to tell that to customers! Sorry!" The bird panicked, looking around and hoping her manager really hadn't overheard that. Phew.
"But we definitely have cell-phones! 'Cause we sell phones! Get it?" She leaned over, inspecting Coolmon's paws and Rinji's chitin. "Hmm... I'm thinking a touch screen for you," she pointed to Coolmon, "and I know exactly what to do for you!" She chirped happily and motioned for the two to follow her down the aisle while she talked.
"A lot of our customers have problems with the human keyboards see. I knew one Gaomon who refused to take his gloves off - even just to text!" She looked over at Rinji and Coolmon again. "There again, I'm sure you won't have any trouble! Not when I'm in town!" Biyomon stopped as soon as she reached some larger screened smart-phones.
"We only keep the small screened ones for human shoppers or very small digimon, but these should be just the right size for you two." She pointed to the shelf where a multitude of colours and models of touch-screen smart-phones were displayed. Pausing, she looked thoughtful again, before she picked the phone with the largest screen off from the shelf, unboxed it, tapped the screen a few times, and gave it to Rinji.
"Normally I would let customers pick their own phones... but with such huge arm-thingies like those you're gonna need the biggest screen you can get! And don't worry, I turned glove mode on even if you don't wear gloves. The screen should still work if you tap it now, even if you aren't a fleshy."
Rinji looked at the phone the bird 'mon had handed him. This one was chrome silver. He looked back at Biyomon tentatively tapped a few icons. "Looks like it works, they don't normally?"
"Huh? Nope, they're designed for fleshy human fingers, see. Unless they're wearing gloves..."
"And Cutemon, is it?" The Biyomon looked a bit confused, hoping she'd gotten the species right. "Sorry, there aren't many of your kind around these parts... but as I was saying, I don't think you'll have any problems with any phone you pick, unless you want my recommendations?"

"...What? Banned fro--...How does -that- happen?" THat is sincerely the most confusing thing Coolmon had heard today. "...Well, guess we gotta find those somewhere else, then..." She'd shrug at Rinji before looking back to Biyomon. "...Tou--Oh! Like the one I've got?"
She held the phone up! With the Rustled Biyomon on screen and all. It looked real fun but also real...I dunno. Weird. She decided to follow Rinji and the Biyomon and listened. "...Why would you text with gloves is my questi--...WOAH RIN-RIN LOOK IT'S LIKE A BIG BUNCH OF RAINBOWS!"
See, remember when it was mentioned that despite her name, Coolmon was still a Cutemon?
This is one of the instances where one can see that. She just jumped up and down a bunch while waving her arms at the phones. "...So is it gonna work for him? And what would you recommend for me? I...Uh. I kinda want a silver one too. So we can match."
...WHY WAS SHE SAYING THIS?

Rinji laughed at Coolmon's cute reaction to all the colourful phones. "It kind of is! Isn't it?"
Biyomon also looked particularly chuffed at how happy her customers were. "It definitely will indeed! Looks like he's already got the hang of it as well!" She said, seeing him tapping on the icons without any trouble at all.
"Matching phones huh? Oooh, I see," Biyomon grinned, thinking she'd cottoned onto something. "So we're looking at chrome silver phones, let me seeee..." she muttered to herself as she started sorting through the models, hoping to find the perfect one she had in mind.
Rinji watched, his phone still in hand/claw, curious as to what the bird digimon was going to pull out. Then, she appeared to reach right back into behind the shelf.
"Got it!" She yelled, finally managing to fish the box out of the shelf. It was a different model from the ones that had been placed in front of it, and as Rinji looked around, he couldn't see any others like it in the store.
"This is the last of that kind we ever stocked." She admitted as she tried to smear some dust off with her wings. The box was brand new, but it was obvious it had been untouched for some time. Then she popped the lid off, took out the phone and held it to Coolmon to hold. It looked almost identical to Rinji's, chrome silver colour scheme included.
"Now if you look closely, it's actually the same brand and has the same specs as the one I gave Rinji, only it's lighter and the screen is smaller! Perfect for your size," she said, hoping Coolmon actually did like it.

Coolmon's glee at the phone rainbow, the phonebow, if you would, persisted. Why wouldn't it? It's a gatdang PHONEBOW. The rabbit was stuck looking at Rinji and Biyomon then back at the phones and then Biyomon as she made a valorous ascent to fetch a PHONE.
...Yet the phone fetched was ancient.
Ancient like an indestructible brick with unlimited battery that can only be destroyed in the fires of an ancient mountain. That old. But...
Coolmon took the phone in hand, examining it closely.
Yep. It was like Rinji's. Exactly like that...It wasn't actually possible for Coolmon's smiling to get wider but it did. "...Miss Biyomon, I have a declaration. My love for this phone is about as big as my love for red and yellow. So it's like...uh...pretty big." She nodded...And began to tap away at the icons on the phone.
"...Hey so how much do these cost? My buddy and I were stopping by for some shopping while we were on our trip through here..."

Rinji watched keenly at the exchange between Coolmon and Biyomon. The phone he'd been handed was still resting in his arms, temporarily forgotten. Coolmon just looked so excited. It was infectious. He almost leaned forward in anticipation as Biyomon unboxed the mysterious phone.
"Oh," he whispered to himself as he realised it was an identical yet smaller version of his own. It looked cute. Like the certain someone that was currently and excitedly smiling at it and holding it and...
Declaring her love for red and yellow. Hearing that felt like being knocked right out of the park. A fierce blush was now currently resting on his face. She... she loved red and yellow. He felt like jumping up and down in joy; he was ecstatic.
While Rinji was swooning in happiness, Biyomon cheerfully announced the price-tag. "6000 bits for the both of them!" Chimed the bird digimon. "Don't worry, they're the same price, so if you want to pay separately..." She trailed off, realising that she'd forgotten she was supposed to tell customers the price first and not last.
Then she smiled; an idea coming to fruit. "Buuuut I can offer you both of them at a discount! 4000 bits! 'Sides, we've had those phones for aaages - our boss won't even know they're gone!" She really wanted them to buy the phones. It would be too heartbreaking to watch them not walk away with identical phones and smiles on their faces.
"So how about it?" The Biyomon pulled out a barcode scanner and smiled at the pair.

Coolmon was wide-eyed. Really snazzy phones that matched and at 400 bits and stuff? SIGN HER THE HECK UP. Coolmon quickly put the phone on sleep for now and reached into a bag...?
Nobody really knows what she reached into but one could assume it was hammerspace, as she whipped out four hundred whole bits and put them on the table. "I've got bits to throw around so throw them around Iiiiii shall!" There was confidence BRIMMING in Coolmon's voice.
"...I don't think I can thank you enough too so I'll throw in a high five too!"
The perfect way to seal a deal.
A high five. Coolmon would slide the bits to the blue Biyomon before holding a hand up for the aforementioned high five.

"Uh... that's great!" Choked Biyomon. That rabbit digimon had definitely not heard her correctly. Four hundred bits for two phones worth four thousand? Oh geez, what would she do? She didn't want to lose the sale but her boss would kill her. Screw it, she wouldn't let her customers down! They were too cute. How could she let them walk away empty-handed? They even bought matching phones!
"High five!" She shouted along with Coolmon, slamming her wing onto Coolmon's paw after taking the cash. Immediately afterwards she scanned the boxes with the barcode scanner. It only took one button to take off the extra zero from the price tag. She was basically giving the phones away for free.
Rinji was watching quietly. He was definitely happy for Coolmon, but to him, Biyomon looked subtly panicked. He'd been initially surprised that Coolmon offered to pay for both of their phones - but then the situation had gotten even weirder when she offered four hundred bits. Was it possible Coolmon was actually a master swindler?
Still, he felt sorry for the Biyomon. It didn't feel right not to pay the full price - like they were stealing. He didn't want to ruin Coolmon's moment though, and sneakily took out 3600 bits from under his carapace. While Coolmon and Biyomon were high-fiving, he left the money on the counter, hoping Coolmon wouldn't see.
He made eye contact with Biyomon, and the bird digimon suddenly looked relieved. She took the cash from the counter, pocketed it into the till like a ninja and quickly decided to wrap this up.
"Alright guys! Here's your receipt - " She tore the paper printing from the machine. "And here are your phone's boxes! You can keep 'em or trash them if you want, but they're yours now!" She handed over both cardboard boxes for each phone. "And if that's everything, then I thank you for your business!" Chimed the digimon with her usual staff-customer sing-song voice.
"I think that's everything for me," replied Rinji. "Unless there's anything you want, Coolmon?" Maybe she'd want to buy new headphones or something?
"Oh, right, we still need to add each other to our phones!" He remembered, taking out his silver phone and getting ready to add Coolmon's number. "What's your number?"

Coolmon DEFINITELY didn't hear Biyomon correctly. And she didn't realize it until it was TOO LATE. She was certainly no master swindler, more akin to a master BUMBLER. This was evident when she saw Rinji sliding the rest of the money.
...
That's when it actually hit her that she messed up. Thankfully it wasn't visible that she was...sweating? Yeah, it definitely was. "Yep, uh...Thanks! I'm gonna use this box for my Switch that I definitely have."
Eighty bit cardboard! Anywho. She turned to Rinji and nodded. "I mean does having fun count as wanting something? Anyways, uh....It's..."
Coolmon listed off her number. 693-3713. Yep. Definitely meaning there? Maybe. Coolmon lowered her voice to a whisper. "I really hope that Biyomon doesn't send a Astamon after me because I heard the amount wrong..."

Fortunately, or unfortunately, Rinji didn't notice that Coolmon noticed that he noticed the money mistake. Instead, he simply smiled at her, happy for them both to finally have their phones. And now he had someone to add to his phone!
"Six-nine-three," he repeated after Coolmon, tapping the numbers into his phone. "Three-seven-one-three. Okay, I think it's done." The device seemed happy with the added number, and he labelled the new contact 'Coolmon.' Then he texted her a short 'Hello!' message to test it. It worked!
Then, he looked up in surprise when Coolmon whispered something to him. "Oh!" She had realised that she'd paid wrong. Rinji looked back at said Biyomon, who was now writing something into a ledger of some sort. "Is that what Biyomon do?" He questioned, confused. The bird digimon had seemed pretty friendly to him. But maybe that what she was doing right now? Summoning some kind of digital assassin?
"Uh, maybe we should go," he suggested, suddenly feeling a little more wary of the blue feathery rookie. She looked to the two, and waved with a friendly smile. "Mall next?" He asked, remembering their plan. If Coolmon agreed to leave, they'd make a hasty exit from the store and continue walking down the street to their next destination.

"Works! Uh...I don't think it's what they do but I really don't wanna find out...Um..." Maybe she was writing her name into some sort of Digital notebook that deletes bAD PEOPLE. Like some kind of digidelete note. "...Um. Tell me your number? While we're going to the mall?"
Coolmon might have just sealed her fate because man, copying a number down in city noises was going to be difficult. But, the hasty exit was made as Coolmon desperately sought to escape the proverbial Astamon. "Have a real nice day blue Biyomonnnnn!" Coolmon called out as she made her exit and...quickly pulled out the map, reading it fast before starting to walk down the street with Rinji!
"That was close...I think."

"You toooo!" The Biyomon called out after the two as they left. What a nice couple of digimon!
Rinji followed closely behind Coolmon, peering over her at the map she was reading. "Yeah," he agreed with her. "Hopefully that's the end of that." Maybe Biyomon would just forget about the two and their blunders? "At least she didn't know our names." It wasn't unusual for digimon that didn't really know each other just to call each other by their species name, although that could become confusing if there were more than one digimon of the same species.
What would it be like to live in a village full of Coolmon? Or to be surrounded by other Scolomon?
"Oh right, my phone number!" Rinji remembered, forgetting about his past musings. "It's uh, four-six-seven, and four-six-five-four," he spelled out, trying to project his voice as clearly as possible over the city noise.
As they walked, they soon approached a gigantic square. "Is that the city square?" Rinji asked Coolmon, referencing the giant open space that every other road appeared to converge into.
Paved slabs encircled the wide open space as groups of digimon walked past, or stopped to rest on the concrete benches plastered around the site. What was most impressive, however, were the gigantic Leomon statues that ran down the centre of the square.
Normal Leomon, SaberLeomon, BanchoLeomon, GrapLeomon, even a small Liollmon had its own statue! "Woah," Rinji said, admiring the stone effigies. Had they been real digimon once? Only the plaques carved under each statue would tell.
And past the statues, a gigantic modern-looking building stood, electric sliding doors parting to allow Digimon past them. "I think that building over there must be the mall," Rinji suggested as he cross referenced Coolmon's town map and the town centre.
