In a camp setting, in the sweltering heat, we meet a young boy about the age of Eleven. This young boy has dark, but light colored red hair. His eyes are hidden behind purple square rimmed glasses. He wears his long hair in a ponytail held at the crown like a half-pony. He wears on his torso a black turtleneck-like shirt with no sleeves, underneath that is a red vest-like garment. He wears a necklace, a locket in the shape of a crescent moon. He never takes that trinket off. On the under-half of this young boy, he is wearing dark purple shorts with a chain on his left belt loop. His shorts are being held up by a black belt. His shoes are a little like combat boots, but the laces are red.
"Maki! Where are ya, buddy?!" One of the campers, who was significantly older than him, yelled. This young boy's name was Maki, and he loved it, and yet hated it at the same time. He looked over to one of the older kids, and sighed. He nodded, and brightly smiled at him. "Hi, Tai! What did you need?" He asked, politely. "Have you seen T.K.? Matt's kinda looking for him, and I'm trying to find him." Tai said, exasperatedly. Maki looked at Tai, up and down to scan him as a person. Tai was an eccentric one, he'll give him credit for that. Wearing goggles on his head in the middle of summer, Maki would hate it the first time he would wear one. "T.K.? Is he one of the littler ones, like me?" Maki asked, politely trying to remember who T.K. was. "Oh, that's right! You haven't been acquainted with anyone yet, have you?" Tai asked Maki, while Maki was smiling like a goofball.
Several minutes later, after Tai was talking to Maki, he noticed something white. He held out his hand, and he felt snow. 'Snow? In the middle of the summer? Okay, global warming, quit acting funny.' He thought to himself. He wasn't left to his thoughts very long as he heard people saying there was indeed, snow on the ground. Arbitrarily, he wouldn't care. But this is snow, Maki is from the mountains. He missed it when he moved to live with his Gramma and Grampa who live in the same apartment complex as most of the kids here.
A white light was beaming up select children, and when Maki was in that light, he started cackling softly to himself as sort of a laugh. Everybody looked down at the subtle redheaded child, but nobody had the means to correct him as why he was laughing. There were eight children in the light, and Maki, Tai and the rest of the children were going to have a rough ride ahead of them.
Maki made quite the fall, and when he went on the ground, his glasses fell off not too far from where he was standing. He searched around, and when he went to a specific place, he felt a feeler. This feeler was round at the top, but went soft down the tube, when the tube met, there was a round character. "Maki! I'm so glad to find you!" It talked, and then Maki yelped and then laughed. "What do you mean, trying to find me?" He asked, politely to the creature. "That's what I meant! I was trying to find you, then I got lost." The creature started to pout, but being the gentleman Maki is, he didn't allow that. "I'm glad you found me! Now could you direct towards my friend Tai? He and I got lost!" Maki said, making a gesticulation towards the creature.
Looking closer at this creature, it was Maki's favorite color, well a variation of his favorite color. "I'm Moonmon, and of course I'll find your friend! Just, could you be my friend and partner, too?" Moonmon asked, smiling. "Of course! Now, onward my steed!" Maki said, trying to make a joke while trying to find his friend with his new friend in tow. Moonmon led the way to Tai, and another kid Maki hasn't met yet. "TAI!" Maki yelled, about to cry and have a miniscule panic attack. Maki ran over to Tai with Moonmon in his arms trying to not have Moonmon fall from his arms. Moonmon went on his head, and Maki hugged Tai. "Tai, since when did you have a redhaired brother?!" Izzy made a joke, and it made Maki scared and made him cry. "Maki. Maki, it's alright. I'm okay, you're okay, all of us are okay. Can you look at me?" Tai was trying his hardest to calm Maki down. Maki nodded, and looked at Tai. He still had tears going down his face, but he calmed down a little. "Izzy, this is Maki. He lives in the same apartment floor as me and my sister." Tai introduced Maki to Izzy, and they nodded to eachother. Maki was still hugging Tai tight.
"Tai! Izzy!" A girl with a helmet said, relieved to see her two friends. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think I've met the little one." Tai looked over to the girl, and smiled and said "Sora!" Maki looked up at the girl, and Sora went down to Maki's height. "Hi, I'm Sora!" She said, and Maki looked up at Tai, and looked back to Sora and said "I'm Maki. Nice to meet you, miss." He said politely and elegantly. "Wow. You sound a lot like Joe when you talk like that." She said, and Maki didn't know very many people who went to the camp.
Maki stopped his crying when all of the people were there, he was still clutching Tai's pant-leg. "Who's the kid, Tai? He looks a lot like Matt, you know that look he always does." One of the boys, Joe said. "I don't think most people have met the kid. Everyone who hasn't met Maki because he's shy and doesn't really like crowds. This is Maki, he lives in the same apartment floor as me and my sister." Tai was explaining Maki's situation. "Nice to meet you, it's my pleasure to be all acquanted with you. I hope all of us can get along." Maki said, smiling a genuine smile. "Maki has got some manners, almost reminds me of Joe!" T.K. said, smiling as he had a friend his age to hang around.
They found a walking pink person, and Maki being Maki, was hiding behind Joe. Maki warmed up instantly to Joe. "Are you okay, Maki? It's only Mimi. You too, Moonmon." Joe tried to calm down the cowering duo. When they both came out of hiding, Mimi squealed about how adorable both of them were being at this very second. Maki hid behind Matt, and Matt laughed at their antics. Maki went out of hiding, and sighed.
T.K. and Maki were together, and they found a red bug. "TAI/MATT!" Both of the boys yelled at the top of their lungs, and everybody came running to see what was going on. "That's Kuwagamon, don't tempt it!" Koromon said, and Moonmon stayed her ground. The digimon all digivolved.
All of the digimon did an attack, and Maki was shaking because of his nerves. "Maki!" Izzy was worried, and Maki shrugged it off saying he's always like this. "Explain the twitching. It seems to me like you're having a low blood sugar bout." Izzy said, and Maki started to smile all shy-like. Maki grabbed into his bag, and when he went into his bag, he got some candy out. Everybody looked at him, and Maki smiled. "Would anybody like a jelly?" Once he said that, he gave out eight jellies, including himself. "If you have a sugar problem, just tell us." Matt said, knowing of the problem. "Alright, I'm just so used to people not caring. I'll tell you if I have another." Maki explained.
They looked for shelter for that night, most of the people were asleep or trying to get to sleep. "Maki, try to get some sleep for tonight. We have a long day tomorrow." Izzy said, trying to get comfy himself. Maki nodded sleepily, and fell asleep automatically next to Tai. He tossed and turned for the first part, and when that stopped, he started whimpering in his sleep. Sora woke up to it, and just stayed by the child. He stopped when she got there, and she went back to her spot and went back to sleep. All the Digimon looked at their partners, and smiled.
