White radiance emanated from the lamps on the ceilings. A Christmas tree stood on the corner of the rectangular room. Beside a couch, a small, blue dragon-like digimon was standing while yawning.

I'm sleepy… Veemon hopped to the couch and rested his head on his arms. Ah, nothing is better than sleeping after work! The Christmas tree is really heavy. He could feel the softness of the couch he was lying on. For one moment he felt like sinking. The couch is so soft with the smooth texture. What a good place to lie on!

Soon, his breath was slow and rhythmical. His vision was black, but he could smell something. It smelled like butter… No, it was more than that. There was a mixture of pepper and onion. The combination of sweetness and saltiness had reached Veemon's snout. Oh, the roasted turkey is for our dinner, isn't it, Davis? Veemon could feel that the sides of his lips were growing wet.

Veemon suddenly muttered, "Yummy!"

A boy's voice suddenly called out, "Veemon, stop drooling!"

"Eh?" Veemon snapped open his eyes. In front of him, he saw that Davis was standing with a small bowl in his hands.

Davis asked, "Don't you know that a couch isn't food?"

Veemon got up and jumped on the couch. "But Davis… I thought you've done roasting the turkey!"

Davis sighed. "How do you know that?"

Veemon jumped down the couch and landed on the wooden floor. "I smelled butter, pepper, and onion! C'mon, where's my turkey?"

"I can't give you the roasted turkey until dad, mom, and sis are back!"

"Then what should I eat?"

Davis walked closer to Veemon and shoved the bowl to Veemon's face. "This!"

Veemon looked at the bowl of brown liquid and yellow 'threads'. "Noodle?"

Davis nodded.

Veemon frowned. "I'm a dragon-like digimon and I want meat!" He opened his mouth, baring his sharp and shiny fangs.

Davis simply replied, "I know that, but I thought you said that you loved noodle when we visited Digitamamon's restaurant."

Silence. Veemon then snatched the bowl. "Because I'm hungry, I'll just eat it."

Veemon took a sip of the soup. Mmm… Tasty, but roasted turkey is definitely better. Only in a few seconds, he had gulped down the entire noodle.

Davis asked, "So?"

Veemon licked his lips. Heh, maybe if I tell him that this is so delicious, he'll give me a piece of turkey. He handed the empty bowl to Davis. "Oh, it's so delicious! Can I have some more?"

Davis picked up the bowl and chuckled. "I'm glad that you love it! I'm one step closer to be the best noodle seller!"

Veemon raised an eyebrow. "Davis?"

Davis smiled. "I've been dreaming to be a noodle seller ever since we ate noodle at Digitamamon's restaurant. Because you want more, I'm gonna cook some more for you!"

With that, Davis walked away.

Veemon closed his eyes and shook his head. Aw, jeez! He's smarter than I thought!
