When Friends Meet
Do you know those days when everything goes right and in the end you go to sleep, calm, happy and in the next morning you still feel great about it? This was not one of those days.
Justin got out to the supermarket. His mom had asked him to go there again. It was around the fourth time he went there that day,and she just kept telling him she forgot to ask for something the moment he returned. In return, he would just put down what he brought that time and go back. His birthday was coming, he really didnt want to piss off his mother so close. He got out again, walking with care along the streets of Shibuya. The city was a mess today. He heard people speaking about some company called "DATS" that was getting in everyone`s way again. It was really starting to be too much for people, they never even told them WHY they kept doing it, fencing everything. It was not good for their image, but they just kept doing it, always polite and all, but still...in the very least it was on one hand anoying and in the other something rather curious. Something that was worth searching about. But not right away.
Suddenly a car passed by, throwing an intense amount of water from the road against Justin.
"Hey watch were you`re going!" he shouted at the car, completly wet and not any less angry. There were some people that simply didn`t have any care, and he hated when people did this kind of thing. At least they could apologize... But anyway it was time to get back on his, way, he couldn`t afford to worry his mother today, he had worked far too hard to blow it all up because of one incident. So he returned to the supermarket, picked and the stuff he needed and got in the line. But after putting his wallet back into his pocket after paying, Justin realized something was missing...his phone.
He ran back into the supermarket, and searched for his phone everywhere. Only then did he remember that he might have lost it.when the car through a wave on him. So, he ran again, this time towards the sidewalk in which the "event" had taken place. However, he was stopped by a fence. A fence with "DATS" logo all over it. He was about to climb it when a blond boy who seemed to be around his age approached him from inside the fence with an angry look in his face. Justin dropped the fence and stared at the boy, hoping to not having the police show up and arrest him or something.
"What do you think you`re doing?!" the boy asked him.
"I think I lost my phone in there." Justin replied coldly.
"Is it this one?" The boy asked, taking Justin`s phone out of his pocket "We found it lying around in the middle of the sidewalk completly soaked. Just like you in fact."
"Yeah that`s the one. Thanks..."
"Now please leave. This is restricted area."
"What`s going on?"
"That`s classified. Please leave."
The boy was being polite, but Justin knew what he ment was "get out of here now, or something really bad may happen to you". So Justin turned and left. He called his mother, to assure her that he was Ok. And then, in a curve he saw this strange creature. It looked like a head with a campfire on top of it, and with two ears that also appeared to have campfires in the top. He was shocked, but curious. The creature turned and seemly spotted him. It`s first reaction was to start running from Justin and started running after it. Something was drawing him to it, something he couldn`t explain. It took a while, but he managed to catch it in the middle of some woods. It had gone dark arledy, but the creature was faster than one would suppose and Justin was still carring the shopping bags.
"Let me go! Let me go!" The creature complained,struggling to free itself from Justin`s grip.
"You can talk?!" Justin asked, shocked
"Of course I can talk! I am a Digimon!"
"A what?"
"A DI-GI-MON. Short for Digital Monster. We all talk. And fight and other stuff, Happy? Now let me go!"
That`s when Justin`s phone began to shale and fel from his pocket. It then began to shine and changed into a some weird device. This was way too much for Justin, and he released the creature, grabbed the strange device and walked away slowly. But he was only half the way home when another weird creature appeared in front of him. It reassembled a grey crab, but it was really big and didn`t have the same kind of eyes. They both froze at the sight of each other.
"Human Tamer..." the creature whispered to himself before pointing it`s claws at Justin and jumping. But out of nowhere the creature he chased earlier appeared and bashed into the crab throwing it out of Justin`s way. "You will pay for this...Scissors Execution!" the crab shouted poiting his claws at the other "digimon" and grabbing it.
"Get out of here!" The other "digimon" screamed at Justin, clearly in pain. Instead he ran to it and kicked off the crab. "Why...why did you help me?"
"Because you helped me. Who do you think I am to just run after you saved me like that?" Justin responded. Then his device began to shine again and so did the creature he befriended. Somehow it grew into a dinossauro-dragin-like thingie, still with a campfire in it`s forehead.
"My name is Chriosmon, by the way, or at least now it is. And I may have forgotten to mention... we digimon also evolve. It makes us stronger, fit for battle. Battle with pests like that Crabmon over there. Spark Spit!" The "digimon" explained, before turning and spitting several fireballs against the crab, who seemed angry but also quite scared. It dodged many of the fireballs, but after one of them hit it, there remaining ones did too.
"I`m gonna..." the "crabmon" began to say when they all started to hear the sounds of sirens approaching "Oh my... I have to get out of here." the crab turned and started to run.
"Hey were are you going?" Justin shouted
"We should leave too. Those are DATS they go after digimon." Chriosmon whispered to Justin
"Okay, come to my place." He suggested "My name is Justin."
They both got out of there and ran to Justin`s home. As they got in, he had an idea. He went to the kitchen, put down the bags ( who were a bit damaged, but oh well...) and grabbed a saucepan, then invinting Chriosmon into his room. They were lucky, his mom and brother were asleep and his dad was out, so he could hide Chriosmon now. He opened his wardrobe and the socks draw, which still had enought space for the digimon to sleep in it. Then he put the saucepan on Chriosmon`s head.
"Why do I have to wear this?" Chriosmon complained "And sleep in there? Tha`t place stinks, literally!"
"You have to sleep in there to hide yourelf. You don`t want my mom to come in and cal DATS or something do you? That is the one place where they will never look for you, in fact my mom doesn`t dare try to wash them anymore. Besides it´s cosy. But don`t you dare take off that saucepan or leave without my permission, I don`t anyone to find out about you or have any of my stuff burned by that campfire on the top of your head. Got it?" Justin replied, kinda annoyed.
"Ok." Chriosmon responded as it got into the drawer"But just because we`re partners."
"You`re going to have to explain this whole "digimon" thing to me tomorrow"
Justin closed the drawer and lied down on his bed, praying for some good, quick and long sleep. What a day he just had!
