It was a fine day, almost afternoon somewhere outside Terminus-- more specifically, the road that leads to one of Terminus' gate. All incoming cars are to be inspected, the usual stuff. Each inspection takes about thirty seconds to a minute. When it's not busy, generally the line is not as long, but today apparently is the monthly import of Terminus, hence the line is a bit long.
Among many in the line that's waiting their entry to Terminus, one car in particular is unique... in a sense that it's a new car. It's futuristic looking, with black body and golden circuit lines. It's a Ys production, albeit one that's kept hidden due to its status as car of royalty and leader. Its development name is [Verum | True Blue], and is currently under test drive. While the plan was for it to be tested by official testers, after a certain event... let's just say the one who meant to use it ended up testing it themselves.
"...I told you before, but you worked too much." the Dorumon on the front passenger seat commented
A sigh followed as then youth on the wheel inhaled. "Yeah I know, I know it already."
What happened before was Yuuki suddenly collapsed. They said that he's too stressed out. Considering his amount of works, and the fact that he's doing it without any assistant... this was the result.
"...We need to hire some workers," Hikaru repeated.
"That we does... ah, wait, the line is moving."
And soon, it's their turn. The knightmon tapped at the mirror, to which Yuuki lowered...
"Hey, is there something matter?" he asked.
"No, we just never saw your car registration number before. May I see your proof of ownership, sir?"
"Sure..." and he handed a disk shaped object to scan. The Knightmon nodded soon after. "It's all clear, sir..."
"Tatsuya," Yuuki lied between his teeth. It's the name that Hikaru said for them to use while in incognito. True enough, their appearance is different than the usual. Yuuki dyed his hair dark pastel pink and changed his clothes into short sleeved one with a vest and cargo pants. Hikaru meanwhile forgoes his kilt and is wearing a special made holosuit that hids his kingly features, making him looks like a regular Dorumon with fedora and scarf. He waved at the Knightmon.
"Alright then, please take care and welcome to Terminus!"
After parking their car, Yuuki and Hikaru stretched out their body as they exited. "Whew, alright, what's the speed?"
"About 380 kilometer per hour max, it's a speedy machine, pretty much. Not to mention, it grows stronger with us. Quite the interesting thing, right?" Hikaru commented. "Oh just so you remember, my name is Blake."
"Right, right... It also does help that the starter for the car is one that's bonded to me... Anyway, where to go?"
"Hmm, good question. Want to just walk around maybe?"

It truly was a nice afternoon in Terminus City. It seemed like every Digimon who lived or worked in Terminus was out and about today, as the streets seemed busier than usual. And among those out on the streets involved two rookie-level Digimon... and a twelve year old human girl?
That's right, Kaya decided that she would use her day off of school to explore more of Terminus with her Hawkmon partner Hawkeye and their newly-made otaku friend, Kazuo the Tentomon. She only saw a little bit of Terminus so far, and she wanted to know more about what the city was like.
"I could be at home watching anime right now..." Kazuo pouted as he hovered in mid-air beside Kaya.
"If you ask me you watch too much television, Kazuo," Hawkeye replied, "and you don't read enough real books. All you read are those silly picture books."
"THEY'RE CALLED MANGA, AND THEY ARE MORE DEEP AND INTERESTING THAN MEETS THE EYE!"
"Not to mention your dietary habits, or should I say lack there of. Who lives entirely off of snacks and nothing else?"
"Both of you calm down, you're giving me a headache," Kaya finally spoke up. "Kazuo, this'll be so much fun, you can spend one day away from TV, right?"
"...in theory, yes."
"Alright, remember, we're just here to have fun. Explore the city, see new things, maybe even meet new kinds of Digimon! I wonder what kind of Digimon live in Terminus, probably all kinds since there's so many shapes and sizes a Digimon can come in-" Kaya would've continued rambling, but an incoming car that had parked caused her to stop herself. "Whoa, I've never seen a car like that before..."
"Truly remarkable..."
"A car from the future!"
"I wonder who's in that car...?"
"Well it's rude to just stare. Just walk up and say hello when they come out, but don't come off too strong."
"Since when do I ever come off too strong?"
Hawkeye and Kazuo both gave the human girl the "-_-" look. "...okay, fair point."

Also present in the city, somewhat tired and in eager search of respite, but unable to due to the volatile situation between the two worlds, was a trio of a 17-year-old human and his twin partners, an Elecmon and Impmon. These were the AEGIS agents, Colin James and his partners Luke and Bellamy. And they were here in Terminus City, keeping an eye on the place due to a delicate situation that was happening here.
Groups of digimon determined to disrupt the city in protest of the increasing presence of humans were increasing in number. And since the trio could biomerge into their Super Ultimate stage, they were on hot demand to remain somewhere in the city to be quickly on notice in case the worst happened. Thankfully it didn't, but, spending so much time in this massive, expensive city was starting to put a number on the three of them.
"Ugh, so tired of patrolling around this place..." Bellamy whined, his legs exhausted. The furred Impmon was wearing a dark red t-shirt in addition to his red gloves and scarf. While the white fur of his underside was mostly covered, it was still visible at the top and bottom where his shirt didn't cover. "Can we just bunk up somewhere and catch up on important stuff like the popular anime series My Hero College?"
"Sorry, Bells, part of the agreement was that we'd be a visible presence on the streets." his brother Luke told him, wearing a dark blue t-shirt as well as his usual blue scarf. "Andromon of the Terminus City Security said that it increases morale of other officers if they see us on the beat."
"Yeah, cheers, Luke, thanks for clearin' up that information for anyone that might be listening in on us." Bellamy drawled in return. "But yeesh, we've done enough walking, can't we settle down for a bit for a drink or somethin'?"
"As long as the drink is a milkshake and not a triple scotch." Colin answered.
"Of course, yeesh, who do ya take me for, your aunt?" Bellamy asked, glad to quickly take a seat in an outdoor cafe in one of Terminus City's shopping malls. "Hope this place has salted caramel shakes..." he looked at the menu, then a grin broke out on his face. "Ohh yeah, jackpot!" he said as he saw the relevant option available.
"Welp, guess it's break time." Colin shrugged, not finding enough reason to deny Bellamy this break. And so he and Luke sat down at the table, eager to find an appropriate snack. They were in full view of the general public here.

The king in disguise is honestly enjoying this little excursion. No bodyguard, no nagging people who tried to win his favor by showing him only the best of the city, and well... he's really enjoying this, it feels like they're back to their first day adventuring... except obviously, they're much more experienced. Something tells him that if he got stage locked again, he'll probably enjoy this more, but... Obviously a KING of all post can't be stage locked. How will he protect his realm like that?
"...Hmmm? Ah, looks like there's an old acquaintance. Excuse me, my dear partner."
"...Uh what?" Yuuki asked back, not really catching what was it that caught his partner's eyes. But before he could ask further, Hikaru suddenly moonwalked... yes, moonwalked to the cafe, complete with the fedora movement. Yuuki's eyelid twitched at the attention Hikaru's pulling toward himself. No, seriously, what is he doing? Aren't they supposed to stay low profile?
"...Oh well, I'll let him do whatever today," Yuuki decided. He quickly walked to one of the table and picked up the menu. There's part of him that just want to pull the Dorumon back by his tail, but he's honestly too tired for that. "...One order of apple juice please," he decided. "And some food crispy chicken steak set would do."
Meanwhile, Hikaru... stopped right in front of the trio's table, pulled a chair and sit on it while crossing his leg. He looked absolutely proud of himself. Yuuki meanwhile is dying inside.

Kaya had prepped herself up to say hello when the passengers of the car walked out. The passenger door opened, and who walked out was probably the fluffiest and one of the cutest Digimon she had ever seen. The Digimon had primarily purple fur, with white on his muzzle, belly, paws, feet, and the tip of his fox-like tail, as well as wearing a fedora and a scarf.
So cuuuuute~!
Then the Digimon started moonwalking right into the cafe, followed by a human that looked fairly embarrassed by the Digimon. Now, neither Hawkeye nor Kazuo had seen moonwalking before, so they immediately assumed that something was wrong with that Dorumon. "Um, Kaya, are you sure you still want to say hello to them?"
"More than ANYTHING."
"I mean, you're friends with me, so he can't be any worse, right? (Self deprecating joke for the win!)"
"...well, if Kaya wishes to befriend that Dorumon and his partner. Besides, it is time we stopped for a snack, no?"
"Yeah, I'm starting to get hungry..."
Kaya, Hawkeye and Kazuo would also walk into the cafe, and they would sit at the table next to the one that the Dorumon would sit at. He seemed to be sitting with another random human, along with an Elecmon and a furry Impmon...
Wait, a furry Impmon? Hawkeye thought to himself. Maybe his data was corrupted as well...?
The trio couldn't help but just observe the customers at the next door table. They'd use their menus to hide their faces, but every once in a while they'd peak to get another good look at them. Hawkeye did the best job at looking inconspicuous, but it would most likely be obvious to them that Kaya and Kazuo were spying on them.

As they awaited their orders, the trio were joined at their table by another digimon. Bellamy was facing the entrance, seeing a Dorumon with a fedora and a scarf moonwalk in. While he was clearly in disguise, Bellamy knew no other Dorumon in the world like him.
Once it was confirmed in his mind who this digimon was and he had the audacity to sit at their table without notice, and the beastlike senses he had thanks to his brother's data made it clear that he was correct, Bellamy responded by standing up and offering a cuddle.
"Heh, you fabulous dork, good to see you" the Impmon said, glad to see his old friend. Bellamy thought of Hikaru as a close friend ever since the Dorumon's wedding in the previous year to Owen the Gaomon, who had invited him and Luke to be his groomsmen. They had met in Ys several times since, when their mercenary Daedalus flew the trio over to deliver news and supplies to the new civilization.
"Nice to see you again." Luke said, also offering a hug. Colin, while confused at first, quickly recognized that the uniquely marked Dorumon appeared to be in disguise as simply a standard one. As such, he wouldn't say his name out loud.
"Heya, good to see you." he said instead. He looked around the cafe for either Yuuki or Owen, and sure enough, he spotted Yuuki. He waved to him. "Heya, why not sit over here and join us?" he invited.
There were others too. Also a girl, a Hawkmon and a Tentomon who seemed to be peering over their menus at them, well, since Hikaru's entrance, he couldn't really blame them. Colin, Luke and Bellamy meanwhile paid more attention to their friends.
"So, it's a small world that we meet up suddenly like this." Luke remarked. "How're you going? I take it everything's going smoothly at home given that the two of you are here in Terminus?"

"Fabulous bastard would be fine too," Hikaru countered and hugged the Impmon back. He immediately hugged Luke next. "Good to see ya, though, Bells, Luke. It's a small world indeed. Colin too, you have grown much taller than the last time I saw you! Then again as a Dorumon I'm pretty short, so humans like you are rather massive in comparison, heh heh."
After Yuuki noticing it's someone he knew rather than someone that he knew before his amnesiac bout, he smiled and raised his hand to greet the trio. "Sorry about our fluffy menace, you three. He just saw you and suddenly wanted to say hi, and here we are."
He did note there are people who are spying on him... but that one is a bit too young for some reason? What someone so young want from him and Hikaru? Oh well...
"Call me Blake and this guy Tatsuya over here," Hikaru whispered to the trio. Afterward, he checked the menu book. "...I'd love some steak and melon juice please," he ordered to the waiter before returning to the topic at hand. "Well, I can't really say that everything going fine either... this guy here you see, he worked solo for too long, and with problems that keeps cropping up, he's sort of... overworked and passed out.
The floofeh doctor ordered for immediate cease of work and forces us to go on a vacation, so here we are."
"As much as I'm feeling guilty admitting it, it's very nice to go out freely like this," Yuuki commented, chuckling nervously.

It was surprising how much one could learn about another just from eavesdropping. Kaya and Kazuo learned that the black haired human was named Colin, the Elecmon was named Luke, and the Impmon was named Bells. Hawkeye heard this too, but he wasn't as focused as Kaya and Kazuo were, simply looking at the menu and deciding what he was going to order.
Judging from their conversation, the two groups really did sound like good friends with each other. According to the Dorumon, the other human that was with the Dorumon apparently worked so hard that he overworked himself and passed out. That did not sound good at all, and he was even ordered by a "floofeh doctor" to go on vacation, which Kaya assumed he meant the Dorumon.
Maybe I should stop listening in...
"Are you ready to order?" A sudden voice from the said, startling Kaya so much that she threw her menu upwards, causing it to land right on the Dorumon's head. She looked back and forth between the Floramon waitress and the other group, blushing before getting up and doing the walk of shame to grab her menu. "So sorry, Mr. Dorumon," she would say as she went back to her own seat. "I'll, uh... just have a personal cheese pizza with a cola, please..."
"Waffles with strawberries and an orange juice, for myself."
"So many food choices... I'll go with a personal pizza as well, but make it supreme, with a lemon lime soda!"
The waitress would then take their menus and walk off, leaving Hawkeye and Kazuo to both comfort Kaya, who was still feeling heavily embarrassed...

Colin chuckled a little at the compliment about how tall he was growing. "Hehe, well, my mom is at the stage where she's begging me to stop, given how quickly I grow out of the clothes she buys me. I think I'm slowing down at least." he replied, smiling. He measured 6'1" or 185cm at his recent 17th birthday. And he hoped he wouldn't be too freakishly tall after this.
"Well, you're both welcome at this table." Luke reassured Yuuki, remembering that the poor young man had recently lost a lot of his memories. Which was a shame too, since he, Bellamy and Colin remembered him and Hikaru as two of the earliest fellow Chosen that they had met in the digital world. While Yuuki might not have remembered, the trio did, and they were very grateful for his assistance from back then.
Hikaru then whispered for them to call them Blake and Tatsuya. "Okay, gotcha." Bellamy whispered back, winking. Luke was silent for a moment, those names being significant to him, but he eventually nodded too.
They then listened as to why they were here. Apparently they were overworking and the "floofeh doctor" in which the three knew was Hikaru's son Haku, said that they needed a break right away. And so here they were.
"Heh, that's a good remedy I reckon." Colin said. "My sister had a long vacation after... something of a breakdown last year. She's all right now, so it's a thing that works in my books."
Their conversation was interrupted when one of the eavesdroppers at the next table was startled by the waiter, and accidentally launched her menu into the air. It was hurtling towards Hikaru, but Colin used his honed reflexes to catch it before it hit him.
"Whew, close one." he remarked. As the girl went to retrieve it with apologies, Colin smiled and presented it to her politely. "That's alright. I'm sure you meant no harm by it." he said.
That said, he couldn't help but not notice that they had been peering at them from their table, her and her Hawkmon and Tentomon partners. "So, given that you're not freaking out about being in the digital world, can I take it that you're experienced as a chosen?" he queried. "If that's the case, nice to meet you. I'm Colin James."
He offered a polite bow here to indicate nothing more than good intentions, then would resume his seat as they awaited their orders.
