"Nice work out there today," said MetalSeadramon, trying his hardest to keep his cool as he accompanied Machinedramon back to his cave. It had been a long and tough day of fighting for the newly formed Dark Masters...but that wasn't the reason why MetalSeadramon was feeling so flustered.
"Likewise," came his co-worker's laconic reply. Strike one.
"Umm...did you catch the battle going down between those kids and Myotismon in the human world? Pretty crazy, huh?"
"Yes, I did. Yes, it was."
Strike two. Apparently, small talk wasn't going to get MetalSeadramon anywhere. Time to be a bit more direct.
"Hey, I know this really awesome beach: it's peaceful, quiet...private. You wanna head over there?"
"Thank you, but I'm quite happy here at my cave."
Jeez, he knew Machinedramon was a robotic digimon...but did the guy have to be so damn literal all the time? MetalSeadramon found himself letting out a loud, frustrated sigh.
"You sound rather stressed," stated Machinedramon matter-of-factly.
"Ya think?" exclaimed the sea dragon, unable to hide his exasperation. "Sorry, sorry, it's just that...I'm trying to..."
MetalSeadramon paused and took a deep breath.
"Trying to ask you out on a date, and you're not giving me much to work with here..."
"Really? You know, I was hoping you would do just that."
"Wh-what?" stammered MetalSeadramon. "You were?"
"Indeed. I thought you were never going to ask."
"Are you kidding me? I've been dropping hints for ages now!"
"Really? You were?" asked Machinedramon, cocking his head pensively. "Perhaps you should've been a little more direct."
