In Terminus City "But Musclemooonnnn..." Tink whines, as her bodyguard examines a flyer. "Why do we need to help out this 'Rosewood Village?' We have so much other stuff we need to do!""This is a great opportunity," Musclemon yell-splains. "We can be a part of something bigger! Wouldn't you like that a lot!?""I don't know... I'm not really the 'work-y' type. I'm more of a pretty, cute, adorable, fragile little flower, y'know?"
Musclemon "HMMMMMS" loudly, scratching his 'chin'. "What about Kinkakumon!? She's a heavy lifter!" "But.... she's not cute like me.""I beg to differ! Besides, we could use the extra money!""I suppose...." This was not enough to win Tink over, however. Her wings shimmer with frustration as she crosses her arms and looks away - or would, if she wasn't on top of Musclemon's head. "Money can be used to get stuff, and I like stuff, but...""I'm sure everyone would love you even more if you helped out! You could get adoring fans!" In Rosewood Village "Hi everyone, I'm here to help!"

"I-i-i-i'm not sure about this outfit, Mizu!" Yukiko was pulling on the outfit Mizu had recommended her: A black tank top, and jeans shorts, putting all her unsightly -limbs- on display. Mizu chuckled and waved her off. "Darling, please, this is heavy lifting work, you wanna sweat to death because you're too modest to wear anything but long-sleeved shirts? No no no, I won't let your embarrassment make you faint from heat shock~" Yuki gulped, but could not refute that reasoning. The job description in the newspaper had been simple: Help build a new village, carry heavy stuff, get paid. As Yukiko wanted to buy a few more things for her club, this was ideal, she can do heavy lifting! This outfit made her wholly embarrassed!
So, her entire face was beet read when she turned up near the fairy and her friend Mr. Musclemon High-Five Flexington. "A-a-ah, w-w-we're here to help..."

"You're here to help too! That's great!" the big buff ball grins at Yukiko. "So are we! The name's Musclemon! What's your name!?"
Tink knocks on Musclemon's head a few times. "Volume, Musclemon," she chastises, "volume. You're going to break my ear drums, and maybe scare away these nice people, y'know? Then how would I get admir-...I mean get the job done? I'm only a teeny tiny fairy, and you are big and strong but only one Digimon. We need help, y'know?"
Since Musclemon began the introductions, Tink might as well introduce herself. "My name's Tink! It is super nice to meet you! I'm going to do my best to help! Who are you, and how dare you be" - she whispers 'almost' under her breath - "as cute as me? You're going to make me look less cute in comparison, meanies!" She sticks her tongue out, then giggles. "sorry for being silly~"

Yukiko flinched as the Musclemon yelled at her. Eep, that was loud! And now a fairy was sassing off to her! Sassy fairy? Was this Titania? No, she'd never go anywhere without Naoko, and she couldn't see the sleepyhead anywhere. She put on a shaky smile, and bowed to the two. "A-a-ah, I am Y-y-y-y-yukiko, Yukiko Armstrong! N-n-n-n-nice to meet you two!" She blushed hard at the "almost as cute" comment. "And I..." Mizu appeared from behind Yukiko, acting all confident and mysterious. "...am Mizu-chan, the most gorgeous gal in the sea, and the partner of the wonderful Yukiko!~" She stepped closer, looking Tink over. Eh. She preferred Titania. But she would never say that out loud. "Hmmmm, I got to disagree! I think you and Yuki are equally cute!~ There's enough cuteness in the world that you can both be precious~" The Betamon gave her warm, wide smile! "So, where do we start, then?~"

Musclemon tries to lower his volume. He manages to lower it by half a decibel. "Yukiko...Armstrong!? I sure hope your arms are strong, because we're going to have some heavy lifting to do! Though it looks like you're prepared! If not, I could help you exercise to pump up those biceps!"
Tink groans, covering her face with both hands. "Musclemon... please don't be rude to our new friends!" Mizu makes her spectacular introduction, earning a big grin and applause from the tiny fairy. "Nice to meet you, Mizu-chan! Most gorgeous in the sea, huh? Well... I don't know that many Digimon from the sea, but I doubt many can be as glamorous and gorgeous as you!"
It seems the 'almost' from Tink was caught by Mizu, but she was nice about it. "Thank you Mizu," Tink sweetly replies. "I'm glad you think so! You're super-cute too, y'know! Let's all be cute, precious, hard workers together!"
Where should they start? "You think we should gather lumber or rocks," Musclemon asks loudly. "I'm down for either! Carrying heavy rocks is good exercise, but so is tree-felling! What do you think they need more right now?"

Mizu posed a bit for Tink and giggled. "Why thank you! Your kind words are deeply appreciated~ Let's be gorgeous and brilliant together now, eh?~" The Betamon gently poked Tink before turning to Musclemon. Hmmm, rocks, or lumber? "Well, if you ask me, more lumber would be more useful. You need lumber for the skeleton of the house, don't you?" "A-a-ah, yeah! T-t-t-that's true, w-w-with more lumber, m-m-more houses can be erected, good call Mizu!" "Ah, I try~" Then she turned back to Musclemon and winked. "Now then, hunk, how about you show us where we can get some lumberly actions done~"

Tink lightly pokes Mizu back. "Yes, let's~ Team Brilliant Diamonds to the rescue... or some other awesome name that describes how great we all are!"
Lumber was the order of the day. Mizu was completely correct, more lumber means more houses. "Good idea, Mizu~ Lumber it is, then! But... um..." Tink frowns, pushing her finger against the corner of her mouth thoughtfully. "Trees grow back, right? We aren't ruining the woods are we?" Was Tink an environmentalist? Who knew?
Musclemon looks puzzled at Mizu's flirting with him. "Um... hunk!? I don't... oh! Thank you! It was a compliment, right! Well, you are quite beautiful, Mizu! Now... uhh... er... right! Lumber! Follow me!"
Musclemon heads off towards the woods, Tink along for the ride. He soon approaches a makeshift sawmill. "Here we are! Right where my information said it would be! Now let's start knocking down trees!"
"What about axes," Tink asks.
"...Axes...!?"

"Don't ya worry your pretty little head off, tress do grow back! Just make sure you plant a seed where you felled the tree!" She then waddled along. "Team Insane Diamonds is on it, go go go!" Soon they stood before the trees. Yukiko was quite intimidated. "Oooooh, th-th-th-those are some big trees...a-a-are we even gonna be able to fell and carry them?" Mizu, who was batting her eyelashes at Musclemon and making a kissy face, turned back to her partner. "Why, of course! With the dreamboat there and you, we can carry a whole forest!" "Uuuuh.....b-b-b-ut, what are we gonna do without axes...?"

Tink is quickly reassured that the trees grow back. She wipes non-existent sweat off her forehead. "Phew, thank you Mizu! I feel much better now!" Then Mizu gives an alternative take on their team name. Insane Diamonds? That sounds kind of cool. "Woo, Team Insane Diamonds! Let us shine like crazy!"
There were so many big, tough trees. Yukiko feels the pressure, but Mizu tries to assuage her fears - while flirting with Musclemon. The poor orb is so flustered. He flexes and poses fabulously, winking back. However, this was not an arrogant Musclemon. In fact, his big round face was blushing brightly like fires under his cheeks. "You got that right, you ... uh... beauty-cutie... fabulous... fish...!" He was not the best at flirting. "Eheh...eh.... ahem! Right! We'll have this done in no time!"
Even without axes? Tink was just as unsure as Yukiko. "I don't know..." she begins, but trails off. ".....about... th...well. I guess we were just being silly. There's axes right over here!" It seems there was an 'axe station' hidden near the sawmill.

Mizu laughed loudly, not in a mocking tone, but in just an amused one. "My, Musclemon, you're quite precious when flustered~ Thank you for the compliments~ Let's have a drink once we're done with work~" She then winked at him, and turned towards the axes. "Ah, Yuki, there's the axes!" "E-e-e-eh? Oh, yes!" The girl walked towards them, grabbed three, and returned, giving one to Musclemon, leaving one aside for later, and holding the last one herself. "W-w-well, guess we gotta start..." With a deep breath, the girl dug the axe into the trunk. The blade went in -deep-. So deep in fact that Yukiko had to spend 30 seconds trying to get it back out. This flustered her quite a bit. "E-e-e-e-e-eeeeeeeee...." With a red head, she continued felling the tree.

"I uh um er uh... yes Mizu I'd uh like that very er much." Musclemon didn't shout? What sorcery was this, what spell, what charm did Mizu cast over him? "N-not too much, something that won't be too unhealthy for me- ah what the heck I'll burn it off or something and now I'm rambling when I should be chopping wood." Poor flustered Musclemon!
Axes would definitely make chopping wood easier! Musclemon shakes off his embarrassment and grabs a somewhat heavy one. "Okay! Time to turn trees into houses!" Back to yelling it seems. Tink flies off of Musclemon and sits near Mizu.
The mighty Mamemon-cousin gets to work. With a mighty strike, he buries the axe into a nearby tree. For a rookie, he has a pretty good amount of strength! Tink watches him chop and hack into the tree, making somewhat quick work of it. "So... Mizu... what's the sea like?" A strange question for Tink to ask all of a sudden, but one that was full of curiosity.

Mizu giggled once more at Musclemon's reaction, then sat nearby to watch him and Yukiko work. Yuki had quite a lot of strength behind her chops, felling trees with a few choice axe swings! Ah, and Tink was keeping her company! Eh? The sea? Mizu had to think for a bit. "The Sea? Well, look above! See the sky? With it's sheer infinity, it's awe-inspiring beauty, and with the terrifying secrets that lurk beyond what you can see from here? The sea is like that, in inverse! It's gorgeous, it's vast, and the deeper you go, the spookier things get! It's wonderful! It's like you're flying, only without having to be one of the few blessed with wings!~"

Musclemon was quite impressed with Yukiko's work. "Good job!" he calls out, "keep it up! You'll be done in no time, and get even bigger and stronger!" His own work was very impressive itself. Soon they would have more than enough lumber for a good haul if they keep this up!
Tink listens, smiling serenely at Mizu with her hands on her chin as the Betamon describes the sea. As deep as the sky is high, and filled with wonder and mystery... it sounds so wonderful. She always saw the sea as romantic, and had some kind of connection with it - or someone associated with it - but she's finding new layers to be amazed about.
Tink sighs softly. "Wow... your description sounds wonderful! I'm sorry I asked you all of a sudden but I'm glad I did. I just... something reminded me of it. I just had to know." She then hops up and begins to cheer. "Go Musclemon, go Yukiko! You're doing great!"

Yukiko cringed and shivered a bit. The very thought of getting even bigger and stronger made her anxious and upset. She shook her head, and quickly got back to work, trying to ignore the quip. There was work to be done, after all.
"Eh? What could remind you of the sea this far away from it?" Mizu tilted her head quizzically, then she smirked and posed. "Unless it is -me- that is reminding you of the magnificence of the sea~" She giggled, then turned to the two workers. "Yeah, go Yuki! Go Hot Stuff! You're doing amazingly! These are gonna be great pieces of wood!~"

Musclemon is completely oblivious to the way his words affected Yukiko. He keeps his big goofy grin as he continues his hard work, knocking down trees for lumber. Meanwhile, Tink attempts a cheerleading routine, shaking non-existent pompoms, jumping and dancing to a non-existent beat. "Yu! Ki! Ko! Muh! Sol! Mon! Chop those trees until they're gone! Go team!"
Tink grins at Mizu as she asks what reminded her of the sea just now. "You're right," she exclaims sweetly. "Your beauty reminded me of the beauty of the sea-" she pauses, giggling softly. "Maaaybe I sound a bit too flirty there. Don't want to make Musclemon jealous~"
That quip, along with Mizu calling him 'hot stuff', caused Musclemon to lose focus and end up striking the next tree with the handle of the axe. "I-uh-yeah... we're doing good, aren't we Yukiko? Ju-just got to keep working at it, and the village will be happy!"
