And now that was done. They all exited the store, and the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed again. Mizu's happiness was a bit contagious, and Amelie found herself smiling at it.
"Yup! Just don't make sure to break to go around breaking hearts. Leave something to the rest of us, too!" Just a harmless joke, probably more suitable if they were closer, but she doubted Mizu would care.
It seemed like it would be a pretty normal day, at least until Ayumi seemed to react to... something; the first guess was pretty basic, and the brunette hoped that was the case, and not something more sinister.
"We better follow her. I have a hunch on what's going to happen, but alleys can be a little... iffy, even during daytime."
She didn't wait for a response before hurrying behind Ayumi. With any luck it'd be her finally finding an egg, or a partner and not something actually dangerous.

The daisy chain of running girls entered the labyrinthine side alleys, where trash piled up, unpleasant Digimon such as Sukamon or Nanimon hung out and wolfwhistled after the four, and where the occasional glimpse of illicit dealings urged the four to run faster. Not that Ayumi cared. She had a clear goal. The voice, growing clearer and clearer, called to her. It was monotone, robotic, and yet without a doubt urgent.
She had beelined for a big trash pile, with a large vent above slowly raining trash data onto it. It was messy, full of trashy images, fragments of paper of discarded stories, half-eaten digifood and scrap. And yet, Ayumi began digging with her bare hands.
Yukiko came to a halt, and watched her friend dig.
"A-a-a-ayumi, w-w-what are you doing??"
"The voice, it's coming from in here, I can feel it now!"
"B-b-b-ut..."
"I am certain, please, help me!"
The swimmer scratched her head, and Mizu shrugged. Then she turned to Amelie.
"Ah, w-w-well, no harm done in helping her dig, huh?"

Just as she had guessed, the alleys weren't the place to be if you expected decent company. Chances are that none of its denizens would lay a hand on them, but in case they did, Amelie had an eye open in case she had to... well, intervene.
Even though she sincerely hoped she wouldn't have to. Things could get just a little messy.
Alright, focusing on the matter at hand! It seemed that Ayumi had gotten them to their destination and that they had to get their hands dirty. "Of course there isn't. Let's get to work." Nevermind that after this the group would probably end up having to take a shower, but that was secondary to what could be hiding under that less than pleasant data clump of data.
Not even thinking it twice, the brunette soon was beside Ayumi, helping her dig in the search of the voice that was calling her. With any luck, it wouldn't be a false alarm.

All four girls were digging now, and sure enough, eventually they reached the bottom of the pile and a light shone from the pit they dug! It was bright enough to require eyeshielding, but soon enough dissipated. When it did, they saw that there was a Digitama at the bottom of the pit. A solid purple one, with a black marking on it resembling the octagonal Error sign. All three girls marvelled in wonder.
"Is...is this..."
Yukiko tried to pick it up, but the egg did not budge, jumping out of her grasp. Mizu tried it, too, with the same result.
"No, this, this is what called me, let me pick it up!"
She reached for the egg, and it jumped into her arms, vibrating gently as she held it, as if it was happy.
Ayumi stared at the egg.
"Does...does this mean..."

They found it soon enough! It was a little blinding and Amy had to cover her eyes for a bit, but when the brightness subsided, there it was. An egg; an unborn digimon that had beckoned to Ayumi. It was just like she had guessed, and that confirmation kinda made her smirk with some pride.
She watched how both Yukiko and Mizu tried to grasp it to no avail, the fact that it was meant for Ayumi becoming even more blatantly obvious that it was before. Amelie's smirk was quick to transform into a full-fledged smile as she patted Ayumi in the back.
"Won't say told you but... told you! Congratulations on getting your partner! Now you're fully involved in this Digimon stuff, or at least will be as soon as you they hatch!" She made a small pause, sure that some expression of happiness would erupt between the three. And then, she continued. "Now that you got the egg, you should check in your clothes if you've got a digivice and a D-Terminal. Those are almost as important as the egg."
Especially the digivice. Losing it could result in a catastrophe.

Ayumi grasped the egg firmly in her arms, staring a bit in disbelief. Eventually, though, she began to cry. Yukiko was immidiately concerned.
"Ah, Ayumi, are you ok?"
"Yes, I am, more than I have been in a long time!"
She looked up, crying but smiling. They were tears of joy!
"My wish actually came true! I actually have been chosen! I am part of this magical world! Oh, I am so lucky, I am so happy!"
She cuddled the egg, only stopping when Amelie mentioned a Digivice. She began searching her person, and eventually pulled out what used to be a pocket calculator. Now, it had become a Digivice, in black and white. That just made the girl cry even more. Despite the filth on them, Yukiko and Mizu both moved in to hug her.
"Ah, c-c-c-c-congratulations!"
"Yeah, grats, gal!~"
"Ah, thank you, thank all of you, all three of you!"
She smiled at them, even Amelie. Seems that she held absolutely no hard feelings.

Well, that had been a pretty heartwarming climax. Sure, everyone was kinda dirty from the whole endeavor but that couldn't matter less.
This was probably a day that Ayumi would remember fondly for the rest of her life. And, in a sense, Amelie was glad she got to be a part of it.
But that was her being sentimental. After tender hugs and congratulatory words were exchanged between the friends, the brunette finally found a window to speak.
"You're welcome, Ayumi. But... Now that has been taken care of, can we get away from this alley? It's not the most enjoyable place to be and its inhabitants are in dire need of deodorant. We can celebrate this small reunion elsewhere."
It was probably an insensitive comment, but for Amelie, it was something that needed to be resolved immediately! He nose would probably thank her as soon as they got away from this place, too.

No, no, Ayumi wholly understood the sentiment.
"Ah, yes, perhaps this is not the place to celebrate, we do kind of stink. Let's find a cafe!"
She then sniffed her own odour and her face crumpled.
"Aaaaand maybe some perfume."
Mizu chuckled, and even Yukiko managed a tiny giggle.
"Yeah, can't have people know we've been digging in the trash to recover your little fella there!"
She poked the egg, which wobbled.
"L-l-l-let's find perfume and a cafe, post haste!"
So, the three got up and made their way back to the main street, Ayumi still hardly believing her dreams had come true!

In a sense, Amelie was glad that Ayumi was being reasonable about this, even though she thought that no amount of perfume could wash away their... interesting smell. Luckily, most digimon didn't mind all that much, even though she was sure to take a good shower once every was said and done.
"Time to do some more shopping, I guess." They hurried back into the main street, and would probably search for the nearest... place that sold perfume. As far as she knew, those weren't all that common, but hopefully she would be mistaken!
In any case, she felt like this small outing was nearing its end. Everyone already had what they were looking for and both Ayumi and Yukiko seemed to be handling themselves fairly well in Terminus.
It was weird, but also... the brunette had derived some measure of satisfaction from the whole. It had been a pretty interesting day, hadn't it?

Indeed, it had been a very satisfying day. After obtaining perfume the group managed to somewhat mask their smell, and had a nice day out in Terminus. But, all good things eventually end, and by the end of the day they made their way back to the Trailmon station.
Once there, Yukiko bowed in gratitude.
"Th-thank you for escorting us today, y-y-you really showed us many nice things!"
"Yeah, it was a great outing for us girls, we should do it again someday!"
Mizu, still flaunting her holosuit, grinned and gently jabbed Amelie's side with her elbow.
Ayumi looked down at the egg, and then smiled at Amelie, too.
"Yes, thank you for everything! And...sorry about my outburst way earlier. But without your guidance, I might have never found this egg!"
"Ah, before we go, w-w-w-we should...w-w-w-we should...e-e-exchange phone and digivice information!"

The rest of the day had passed more or less normally. Even if the finish was a little unexpected! Amelie hadn't expected somebody bowing at her. She blushed slightly, immediately waving off the compliment.
"There's no need to bow!" She added, hurriedly. "I just did what I felt was the right thing to do. I mean, I guess you'd have done the same to me if you were in the same situation."
Or at least that's what she hoped. "It's what friends do for each other, right? I definitely hope we can hang around again someday! I had a lot of fun with you."
What was harder than wave off compliments? Downplaying an apology, of course. It was true that the teenager had been somewhat angry at Ayumi at first, but that just seemed so distant now... "Don't worry about it. Hope no more misunderstandings happen between us, though!"
Now that everything was said and done. Amelie took a notepad and a pen from her bag and began to scribble her contact information. Once she was done, she handed those to Yukiko and Ayumi, received theirs in return and smiled gently at the group.
"Hope to see you around. And make sure to tell me when your partner hatches, Ayumi! I'm already looking forward to it." With one last smile and a wave, Amelie began to walk away from the scene.
Somehow, she felt like this was the beginning of something great.

The three waved after Amelie. Ah, she'd called them friends! It was only the third day after having met Mizu, and Yukiko was already making more friends! She could hardly believe it! The high carried her as they boarded the Trailmon, which complained about the smell. Neither of them cared, however.
Ayumi held the egg tight, patting it. It wobbled in response. She had no idea when it would hatch, but for now she was just overjoyed to even have it. She, too, had been chosen to have a partner! This was so amazing!
As Yukiko watched Terminus fade into the distance, she thought of all the things she'd seen today. Digimon, technology, currency...this whole world had its own rules, its own things. Just, what was behind all of this? She really wanted to know! Her curiousity reached unimaginable levels! Within her mind, a plan for a research club began to form...
