------------------------
Grace Matsuki was busy preparing her backpack for tomorrow.
Tomorrow was her thirteenth birthday, and everyone knows that when someone turns thirteen, they are allowed to pick out their first digimon.
Grace had been waiting for this for years. She happily thought about the digimon she would pick. 'Um, a Lunamon! Yeah, they are so cute, and so powerful! If I get one of those it'll put Night Crow in power! Mine will be so quick; Light Fang won't have time to react before they are defeated! I'm going to make my dad proud with Lunamon!'
She picked up her teddy bear, and looked at it lovingly. "I've had you since I was a baby. I don't know if I should take you, Teddy." She said. She drew in a quick breath, and laid it down her pillow. She covered it with a red and blue hand-made quilt.
She kept it with either her, or her teddy bear; because it is the only thing she had left to remember her mother. Her mother had died from lung cancer on Grace's tenth birthday, and her mother had made this for her on her ninth birthday. Nice tenth birthday gift. And she hardly new her mother.
Someone walked into her room, and she turned around to see her father.
"Hey, honey," he said. "Are you ready to get your first digimon?"
Grace nodded.
Her father looked around her room, and saw Teddy underneath her mother's handmade quilt. "Thinking about your mom?"
Grace almost started to cry, but bit it back, and nodded again.
Her father picked up her quilt, folded it, and laid it down with the stuff she was going to put in her backpack. He picked up Teddy and put it on the same pile. "You should take those two. If you don't, you won't have anything to remind you of your mother."
Grace thought about this, and nodded. "Unless I meet a Terriermon, Lopmon, or Renamon!" she added quickly.
Her mother's favorite choice of a digimon was either Terriermon or Lopmon, or a Renamon, because that had been her partner. Mostly Renamon.
Mr. Matsuki nodded, laughing a little.
Grace heard a scream, not like a frustrated scream, or a help-I'm-going-to-get-kidnapped scream. More of a scream for someone. "Daddy, it's time fow my stowy!"
It was her four-year-old sister Joanna trying to say: Daddy, it's time for my story.
"I gotta go. See you in the morning honey." Mr. Matsuki kissed his daughter on the forehead.
When he walked out, she changed into her pajamas, grabbed Teddy, and climbed into bed. She pushed a button on a remote attached to her bedside table. The lights shut off, and she fell asleep.
--New time--
Beep, beep, beep!
Grace's alarm went off at 6 o' clock in the morning. She jumped out of bed, and got dressed quickly. She grabbed Teddy and stuffed it into her backpack, zipping it shut. She slung it onto her back. She squealed with glee, and ran upstairs.
Just as she rounded the corner into the kitchen, she was toppled over by something holding her in a vice grip.
It was Joanna, singing her version of 'Happy Birthday.'
Grace thought it was hilarious but cute.
"Happy biwfday to you! Happy biwfday to you! Happy biwfday deaw Gwace! Happy biwfday to you!" Since she was still only four years old, she still couldn't say her r's or l's right. She still held Grace in a vice grip.
"Gwace, Daddy had to go to wowk weawy eawy today, so he towd me to sing my bestest. He says he wishes you a happy biwfday, but wants you and me to come down to his wowk station today so you can pick out youw fiwst digimon!"
Grace hugged her right back. "Okay, but why are you coming?"
Joanna looked at her sheepishly. "Daddy says I stiw can't stay home by mysewf just yet." She let go, but quickly grabbed her hand, and dragged her out of the door. "So, what do you pwan on getting? How about a Gaomon or a Gabumon, or a Gobuwimon! No, not a Gobuwimon. They'we ugwy. You'we not going to get one, awe ya?"
Grace thought about this as they entered Dark Gate. They walked past the Dark Terminal portal as she answered.
"Naw, not if you don't like 'em."
Joanna breathed a sigh of relief. She started to skip to the Dark Office, with Grace a few feet behind.
KingChessmon nodded to them in greeting as they entered the Union Room.
The two were very well known in Darkmoon City. They stepped onto the portal, and allowed it to take them to see their father.
"Happy birthday, Grace! I'm sorry I couldn't be there, but I was busy." Mr. Matsuki's digimon, Gallantmon, flew over and landed by his partner. "Yes, we are both very sorry young miss."
Grace couldn't help but giggle a little.
Gallantmon had always been kind hearted, especially to her and her sister, and always treated everyone as if they were his own son or daughter. "It's okay, I understand perfectly."
Gallantmon breathed a sigh of relief, but stood still.
Mr. Matsuki led the way to the edge of the room. He grabbed something on the floor and opened a trap door. There were stairs that spiraled down about ten feet.
When Grace reached the bottom, she saw a fake outdoor area. It had real earth and plants, and it was where the digimon could play. She watched as a rookie Betamon rushed by her. It stopped, turned toward her, waved a flipper, and ran off again. Its chaser was a little Biyomon. The pink bird flew past her, spun around, waved and went back to chasing the Betamon.
'Hm, energetic digimon. They would be perfect. Oh wait, I'm getting a Lunamon, remember?' She asked herself. She stretched and yawned, it seems she didn't get enough sleep the night before.
Her father whistled, and all the rookie digimon stopped what they were doing, and rushed over. "Today my daughter has turned thirteen years old. You all know what that means!" he said.
All the digimon started to jump up and down, chanting, "She gets to pick out a new digimon!" They all rushed excitedly over to her, wrapping around her legs.
When Grace looked out of the huge mass of digimon, she saw her sister had fallen over. She was laughing so hard she was splitting her sides. "Is this what they always do?" Grace asked her father.
"Yep, that's how I met Guilmon. He almost killed me. Well it wasn't necessarily like this, but you know what I mean!" Mr. Matsuki laughed whole-heartedly.
Off in the distance about ten feet away from her father, but at least twenty feet back, she saw a brown little bunny digimon. The tips of its ears and around its neck were pink. It was a lop eared digimon. It was a Lopmon. It looked up at her, let out a fake smile, and sighed. It looked down at the ground again and walked off.
She looked back at the huge mass of digimon.
Three of them seemed to be pushing to get closer. The three were a Lunamon, a Gaomon, and a Solarmon. 'Great! It's a Lunamon, just who I was looking for.' She bent over a little, and scooped the little digimon into her arms.
The Lunamon cheered happily, while the others moaned.
"Is the Lunamon the one you want? Okay, if you are sure."
The digimon all turned back and went to what they were doing. The Gaomon and Solarmon looked at her, as if saying "Why not us?"
Lunamon turned toward her friends and looked at them sympathetically. They just turned and ran off behind a box.
Grace's father happened to have a big job. He was the chief tamer of Darkmoon City. "Hey, its okay. If you want you can pick two more you can." He said.
"What, no really I'm fine with Lunamon!" Grace answered.
She didn't want it to be unfair to the other Tamers.
"No, no, no, I insist! A select few get to do that as it is. I selected you, now please do it."
Grace held up her hands in submission. She thought about the digimon she saw. "Um, I'll take Gaomon and Solarmon." She said at the same time she thought it.
Her father called out to the two digimon, who came rushing back. He knelt down, and whispered to them. Every time he said something, their eyes brightened happily. Then he stood up, and the two rushed over to her and hugged her.
She put Lunamon down, who was chirping happily because her friends would be able to travel with her.
Lunamon hopped around her friends and they all couldn't help but jump up and down as best as they could.
Grace's father walked over to her, and handed her a tamer home card, a digivice, and a medal to prove that she was a tamer.
She took it and hugged her father gratefully. Her three digimon followed her as they walked out of the trap door, and into the light.
The three covered their eyes, and walked toward the portal to Dark Office.
Joanna followed right behind them. "I'm coming too!" she yelled as her older sister turned around.
She rushed forward, and squeezed in between Grace's body and arm. She wrapped her arm around Grace's waist, and they walked off together. When they got to their house, Grace showed Lunamon, Gaomon, and Solarmon around. She introduced them to her sister, who was petting them frequently. She then went to the Dark Market, and bought her tamer home. The five of them explored the tamer home, and Joanna stayed there the first night.
--Over the years--
Over the three years that followed, Lunamon watched as Solarmon digivolved into Clockmon and Gaomon digivolved into Gaogamon then MachGaogamon, while she still stayed at the rookie level.
Grace went on quests and adventures to various different places, leveling up her digimon. Then not only was she known for being the chief's daughter, but for being a really powerful and compassionate Tamer.
Eventually, MachGaogamon was on Ultimate level 35 and Clockmon was on Champion level 30, while Lunamon stayed at rookie level 20. She felt heartbroken.
Then, in the third year that followed, something terrible happened.
Grace's house set fire at one 'o clock in the morning. Her father was killed, and her sister was severely injured. MachGaogamon took her to the hospital in Dark Square.
The next chief was Julia, whose own digimon was ChaosGallantmon.
Gallantmon was so heartbroken, that he degenerated all the way back to a Guilmon, and ran off.
Grace wasn't sure what happened to him, but was pretty sure that he is now a wild digimon.
A few times she would go out to look for him, a few times she would see him. A few times she would actually find him to invite him back. Each time, he got away. Sometimes MachGaogamon would chase him, he almost caught him once.
He still got away.
