Twas the season to be jolly, at least that's what most of the people seemed to tell the two little kids Alpha and Beta as they wandered around the crossing for a short while. It was both of their first times using their Holo-suits which thankfully wasn't too hard to get used to. A short blond haired boy and girl that currently couldn't see anything admist all the people wandering around the same as they were. Till eventually after a bit of shifting and deciding one head popped up over the crowd, now standing at double the height as Beta sat on her brother's shoulders for a moment looking around. "What do you see Beta?" Alpha asked looking up at her, she had her eyes squinting as she searched around the area.
"I see people, a lot of people and. Oh! Alpha over there! There's a clear spot over there!" Pointing Beta leaned forward as Alpha started to make his way over to where his sister was pointing, thankfully given his natural affinity with movement he was able to pretty effortlessly avoid the incoming people who didn't seem to notice him or his sister. Eventually the two broke away from the crowd and managed to get to a small open area with not too many people about. Though it was pretty early, just about 2-3 in the afternoon. Cold as heck but given the season that made sense.
"And I thought Terminus was busy, I could barely see anything!" Beta said aloud, not really too concerned about the people who might overhear. "Mom said it's a Holiday right? Chrismas I think?" However what a Holiday was, that was beyond her at all.
"Yeah, in a few days I think. Guess that's why it's so busy. Though I think I lost our bearings. Sorry." It was way too easy to get lost in a crowd like that after all.
However Beta simply hopped off her brothers Shoulders and gave him a hug. "It's alright! We're together so it's ok. Mom will find us sooner than later." Quickly transitioning from the hug to grabbing her brothers hand Beta pointed over toward the side area. "Plus there's a lotta stores here, oh we should see if they have any stuffed animals! C'mon!"
Alpha smiled a bit before he started walking alongside his sister, she seemed excited at least so that was good.

"Man, there's sure a lot of people wearing red today." Roche uttered, quietly. It was pretty unnerving to suddenly be the person wearing blue in a sea of crimson, but even odder was Gihai seeming all too comfortable with this. "...Why're you so chipper?" The holosuited dinosaur asked.
"Dunno! Seems to be a nice vibe out here." "There you go talking like that again...You're weirder than Namika-san." Roche had chided the green dinosaur! This particular stay within the Human World had turned out to be a touch longer since it was during a holiday. Both of the digimon were actually a little curious about it, so...why not? Why shouldn't they stay?
Of course, they were on a perilous crash course with Alpha and Beta at the moment. That was probably gonna end horribly if none of these fools ever alerted each other.
"...Oh SHIT WATCH OUT-" Roche exclaimed suddenly, before he got out of the way! Gihai was...clueless. "Eh?"

"....And there they go again," Daichi muttered, looking at tons of discounted packs of chicken. From KFC to Famima, they sure got many chicken deals around christmas. Heck, some starting to follow with offering grilled chicken wings to the more health conscious. Geo in the midst of all of this is looking at each deals with keen interest. He's not holosuited, no... he's currently covered up in some plastic box that would remind people of some sort of delivery robot that are now making more appearances in real world. Except bigger of course. Oh also equipped with light. In case of Geo, those are camouflage for his appearance.
"...They do look delicious, Daichi," Geo mused.
"Yeah, sure, but we only have limited amount of money... We should only buy one that we're sure about you know..."
"Why aren't there deals on apple tarts? Or apple pies? I feel they're much more festive than strawberry shortcakes!"
"I guess it's because strawberry shortcakes looked much more like "reds in midst of white"? It's the same with poinsettia. They're used for christmas too."
"Oooh, I can see that," Geo nodded in understanding. "...So what we're going here for again?"
"...Poinsettia, three white and three red... then get some fried chicken deals."
"Poinsettia... huh..."
"Dad loves them," was all Daichi said to that. Loves, not loved. Daichi still believes that his father is still alive out there. "And we always had poinsettia on the secret base for that reason. Still, six is a bit too much now that I think of it... Can I ask you to carry two?"
"Sure! Just put them above my trunk!"
"Alright then! Make sure to not get lost now.... there's a lot of people here--"
and hear the loud "Watch Out" from somewhere. Geo literally froze on spot, automatically thinking that they meant him and had someone tripped on the corner of his modified box, revealing what's underneath for a split second.
"HEY WATCH IT!" a man hollered. "DON'T PUT YOUR JUNK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD LIKE THIS!"
"E-excuse us!" Daichi instinctively apologized. The man mumbled something about kids looking for attention, grumbling all the way. Daichi shot a glare at his back right after. "...That was a bit too excessive... Are you OK Geo? I guess we should just move aside... see if we can... find emptier lane or something."

"Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry! You better not pout, I'm telling you why... Santa Claus is comin' to town!"
"He's making a list, he's checking it twice, he's gonna find out who's naughty or nice! Santa Claus is comin'... to town!"
This would be a Christmas song sung by both Serena Isono and her Digimon partner Gem, who she was carrying in both of her arms like a stuffed animal, as they walked through Scramble Crossing. Serena herself would be wearing a nice winter outfit consisting of a white knit headband, long red coat, a white dress, white knit gloves, dark transparent stockings, and black ankle-high high-heel boots. Gem himself was wearing a cute orange and yellow scarf as well as a Santa hat on his head. These two were on a mission: they had their Christmas gifts for everyone made and bought already, and all they needed was some fried chicken and a nice cake for a Christmas party they were going to later that night.
A Christmas party featuring all kinds of different Tamers and Digimon, to which she was invited to by both Gem's father and his own human partner, Adrian Boriker. Serena had only been paired with Gem for a couple of months by this point, so she figured it would be a good chance to network with other humans who knew what she was going through. Plus, her UNDYING love of Christmas helped influence her decision!
First things first: chicken, then cake. Serena stopped in front of one of those fried chicken stores where they had deals on chicken on display to entice customers. Serena and Gem were looking at the chicken longingly, both of them having the same opinion that it looked absolutely delicious. In Gem's case, the smell was so good that it actually got his stomach to start growling, to which Serena could both hear and feel underneath her hands. The Gammamon blushed as his new partner giggled a bit.
"You sure sound hungry there, Gem!"
"I'm sorry, Serena. It just smelled so good!"
"I don't blame you! I suppose we could get a couple extra pieces of chicken for a late lunch-"
And then that's when the "Watch out!" was heard. Serena and Gem looked around to see where the source was coming from, before they encountered two people that looked very familiar... well, one was familiar, considering they were masquerading as a big robot. So with a smile, Serena walked over to who she believed to be Daichi and Geo. "Shiki-kun! Isn't this a lovely coincidence? Merry Christmas!"
"Oh, Geo! Merry Christmas!"
Hopefully the shop owner didn't hear Gem say that...

Well Beta was distracted at all the pretty lights and sounds and Alpha was more or less similarly distracted by the same thing. However, both seemed to hear Roach yell out for Gihai to get out of the way... Not that either twin knew that was Gihai at the moment but still the warning came, and it was time to spring into action. "Tch, Beta lets move." Alpha said as he pulled hard to the right trying to drag Beta over and out of the way.
"Alpha this way." Beta said at pretty much the same time but instead of heading right like her brother she uhh, went to the left which canceled out either twin's ambition to turn in that direction considering they were still holding hands so right down the middle where their hands were the two ended up crashing into the Holo-suited Lizard knocking themselves backwards a little bit.
Alpha managed to regain his balance before he fell fully, however Beta didn't and ended up dragging her twin down to the ground with her since she still had an iron clasp grip on him. "Uhh, Sorry. You ok Alpha?" She asked quickly jumping back to her feet, pulling her twin up alongside her with a bit more strength than one would think a child would have.
"Yeah, Hey. Sorry about that we're uhh, new here and got distracted by all the lights." Alpha quickly shot an apology hoping they wouldn't be too annoyed they ran into them, this was what you were supposed to do in the human world right? At least Alpha hoped so.
"Yup! We're just excited cause there's something call Krismas going on around here!" Once again misspelling the holiday but technically not being incorrect with the pronunciation.

The moment of collision is always something able to be viewed as a tragedy by every party involved. This particular one stood out for a number of reasons--namely the moment Alpha hit Gihai, her holosuit flickered. For but a moment.
And ANYONE who knew Gihai could recognize an emerald Guilmon. Yet after that moment, there was the same green haired individual, reeling a bit. "A." They spoke, before rubbing their head. "I'm alright! I can sort of get being distracted by the lights, it's pretty disorienting..."
With a grumble of 'This idiot...', Roche glanced over towards the other two things he could take note of. Junk in someone's trunk, and...Other stuff? "C'mon, let's just get out of the way..." Roche spoke as he went and promptly pushed Gihai off towards an emptier part of the street. And beckoning Alpha and Beta over too.

This is... unexpected for sure. Geo muttered "merry christmas" back from under his cover. Still.... a lovely coincidence? "Not sure if this is 'lovely', positive sure, but not sure if lovely. Merry Christmas, Isono-senpai." Still, as of what happened prior... "...Huh? Wait, that girl..." and the fact that the boy doesn't even bat an eye, and even the kids... don't tell him, they're all Digimons?
Well, uh... maybe they will appreciate some kind of directions or something? Daichi decided to casually approach them. "Hey, you guys! Are you guys new to the city or something? Do you need... like, uh, some help in showing directions and whatnot?"
As he said this, he scratched the back of his head with his left hand... an obvious, but hopefully discreet enough attempt to like, bring the attention to his Digivice just in case. However, Hikaru did said that this Digivice device wasn't that common prior to certain point. The usual Digivices are more... like tamagotchi or something.
...Which makes Daichi confused as of how they could be carried around then. Like, won't it caught attention?

The collision happened as Serena was catching up with her underclassman, Daichi. The two (or rather four, considering their Digimon) were exchanging seasons greetings with each other before Daichi noticed something odd going on with those two kids and the girl they ran into. All Daichi muttered was something about a girl, to whom Serena turned around to look, as well. "Huh? What girl?"
The girl's holosuit had only flickered for a second, so Serena turned around too late to be able to see anything. All she saw were two little kids apologizing for running into someone, before that same someone got pushed over to a more open part of the street. Then Daichi decided to head over to the two kids, greatly confusing Serena and Gem; those kids seem pretty fine, why was he going over to them like that?
I better follow him and make sure this doesn't turn into something stupid...
And so, Serena stood close to Daichi, merely observing what he and the kids would do. She would of course smile and wave at them if they happened to look her way, but Serena was mostly there just out of morbid curiosity. Daichi was asking seemingly normal questions, like if they were new to the city and if they needed directions and such. Now that he brought it up, these kids did look pretty foreign. Maybe they were just here on a Christmas vacation. And so, Serena smiled and also spoke to the two little kids. "Tokyo can be pretty confusing to navigate, especially during the craziness of Christmas. My friend and I here would be willing to help you out, if you want."
However, while all of that was going on, Gem was squinting as he looked back and forth at the two kids. They seemed awfully familiar to him, but because he hadn't met many humans, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Did he meet them in the Digital World? Well, in any case, Alpha and Beta were definitely going to recognize him. What other Gammamons out there had blue eyes?

"Huh?" Beta was confused for a moment as something seemed to flicker about the girl she just ran into, it was just a moment but she could've sworn she saw something a lot greener and more familiar then the human in front of her.
"Gihai?"
"Gihai?"
The twins said almost exactly at the same time, seems they both had the same idea. "Is that really you? Oh wow I love your Ho-" Beta stopped as Alpha tugged at her arm, reminding her of where they were at the moment. "Oh, hehe. Right I uhh. Forgot for a moment. It's nice to see you regardless." It was an assumption that no other Guilmon was green but at the same time the chances of two green guilmon being around were pretty slim most likely.
Either way Beta was already following after Roche's beckoning and considering she still had Alpha in an iron clasp grip he was going to be following no matter what, which ultimately, he did but it's funnier if I phrase it like this. At least until two others decided to try and garner their attention after going into the more open area, one was a boy who was weirdly drawing some attention to some device he had, what the device was would be lost on the two kids sadly considering they didn't really know much about digivice. "We're definitely very super lost but we're ok with it! We found a friend in the crowd." Beta cheerfully called back to whoever that was.
Then came the second person who would offer the same thing, normally strangers offering Alpha stuff would put him on edge but ultimately considering the atmosphere of the place his guard was a lot more down, plus what Beta said probably applied to her as well but something else caught his eye.... A digimon out in the open in her arms like some kinda toy.
It was a Gammamon but, and here's a very important fact for now, Gem was the first Gammamon that Alpha had ever interacted with and the only Gammamon he has interacted with, so the fact that he has blue eyes and it was special became a bit lossed on him. Not on Beta who had interacted with another one without Alpha around so thankfully that little bit of confusion would be solved with a simple. "Gem? Oh, I see so that must be..."
Alpha finished her thought for her. "Adrian? Wow you look a lot different than last time we saw you." Alpha didn't know humans could change shape as well, that was pretty cool if he was honest.
"We look a lot different as well, but it's Alpha and Beta!" Well that cat was out the bag already and considering humans usually didn't have names like that... Well hopefully Gem would clue her in.
