The oddest sight on File Island was seen in that bush, as

the In-Training Digimon learned. ANOTHER Bukamon! This one was

sleeping peacefully, as the morning sun's rays glistened down upon

its purplish-gray skin. The Bukamon's eyes opened slowly, and its

view was filled with the In-Training Digimon friends. Noticing the

Bukamon's alarm, Bukamon toddled over, and rested a tiny flipper

upon the other's shoulder. "It's alright," Bukamon spoke, in a low,

comforting tone. "We're not going to hurt you." "Yeah, at this stage,

we can't even hurt a Rookie-form Digimon!" Called Koromon. The

Bukamon cleared its throat, blinking beautiful violet eyes. "My

name is Luna." "My name is Koromon," spoke the In-training form of

Agumon. He then pointed out the others with his ear. "That's

Tokomon, Yokomon, Tsunomon, Motimon, Tanemon, and Bukamon." "I'm

very pleased to meet you all," Luna said. "Do you live here?"

Bukamon asked. "Yes, I do," answered Luna. "And before you ask, I

don't mind if you swim here. You're all now friends of mine. Who

wants to take a dip?" The In-training Digimon friends cheered,

thinking 'The more, the merrier!' And began to bounce into the

pond.

Bukamon couldn't help but watch the pretty female swim so

gracefully beneath the pond's surface. His trance was broken by

a tiny green paw waving in his face. "Yoohoo, File Island to

Bukamon!" Tanemon called, grinning wickedly. Bukamon looked over

to Tanemon. "You've been staring at Luna ever since she stepped

into the pond water! ...Do I sense a shine?" That brought a

snicker from the others. Luna surfaced, looking to the snickering

Digimon. "What's going on?" She asked, a sweatdrop forming.

"Nothing!" Bukamon squeaked. Tanemon giggled. "I DO NOT have a

shine for anybody! Now knock it off!" The tone in Bukamon's voice

was surprising. He's never risen his voice before! That caused the

others to silence. Luna glanced about, and decided to break the

silence. "What do you guys want to do?"

The Digimon played games, told stories, and ate. When

the day was over, they settled in to sleep. They said their

goodnights, curled up around the campfire they made, and drifted

off to dreamland under the starry sky...
