Chapter 1: Everyday

3 months ago...

"Party Member!" a brown-haired boy shouted. "Party Member wanted! It's for an adventure!"

"For an Adventure!" His red reptilian Digimon with a white scarf repeated.

"You really think anyone will answer you?" I commented, eye twitching of the stupidity before me.

"Well, at least they didn't dance for attention," Note followed.

Immediately, the boy & his reptile Digimon turned around. "GOOD IDEA!" Both thumbs up.

"WHAT THE HELLL!" He reacted with a snap.

I face-palmed. "As expected from no-brain Walter & his idiot Guilmon,"

"HEY! WHO YA CALLING "NO-BRAIN", BOOKWORM NOEL!?" He yelled.

""Bookworm" is somewhat a compliment to me, Walter. I'm a writer, after all," I said calmly.

"AND WHO'RE YOU CALLING AN "IDIOT", STRAIGHTMAN NOTEMON!?" Guilmon yelled at Notemon.

"I DIDN'T SAID ANYTHING!? AND WHY AM I A STRAIGHTMAN!?"

"Calm down, Note. At least these two can be offended," I said sarcastically.

"Then, what's with that face!?" Walter pointed abruptly at the my tired expression. Obviously, to his eyes, it's like the face of an old man who's smoking & gotten tired of an conversation. "AND YOU TOO!" He then pointed at Note's.

Note & I... We then sighed.

One advice I must gave to the Tamers out there: "Reacting to an idiot's antics will consume your stamina... even if you're just watching them..."

Allow me to introduce you to my friend, Walter Banagher & his Guilmon, Guil. As you know, Walter's a Digimon Tamer like myself but he owns a different type of Digivice than mine. Mine's a Xros Loader & Walter's Digivice is called a D-Ark... if I remember correctly. He's 16 -the same age as me- & had first discovered the Digital World some time around my discovery of it. And -although I've mentioned it- he's an idiot, the type you mostly see in the animes so even though he's "heroic" in some ways, he's quite difficult to handle in the "usual" days. And worst of all, his partner's the same as him.

Beep. Beep. Beep!

"Ah, my Xros Loader," I pulled it out & check the timer. Right now... it's... 11.00 a.m.

"Walter, it's time for a Quest,"

It was then Walter instantly stopped his childish nagging. He then dashed off & quickly scooped up his giant travel-bag from the pile under the tree nearby.

"Hey! What are you guys waiting for?" Walter waved his hand, excited, signalling us. Guil took off as soon as he said that, sprinting off to his Tamer's side.

Note & I looked at each other & shrugged with smiles. Oh well...

Walter & Guil maybe the "perfect idiot duo" but to us... they're the most passionate & hot-blooded travel-freaks we've ever seen. His passion is bright as the sun, a lot brighter than my passion to write. I don't know what made him the travel-freak he is but... it catch my curiosity. All I want to know, no, All I want to see... is how he walked on his path of life.

He's a "bright" guy, the one who never fail in getting the "Good Ending". Perhaps that's what inspired Note & I to tag along.

30 minutes passed peacefully... a little too peaceful... especially in a group with Walter & Guil in it.

I turned to my partner. "Er... Noel,"

He just took a sip of coffee. He's calm... and just 3 minutes ago, when Walter & Guil had gone to get us a Quest, his head almost explode of the joy of -finally- having some private time to himself. This happened everyday... And of course, I, too, almost burst like Noel. But just to let you know, Noel screamed "YES!" like the doctor that created Frankenstein while I just smiled till my face hurts. That's the difference of our outbursts, as you can see.

My Tamer, Noel... To be frank, he's moody as in very moody. His "Moody" Level is already to the Level where his moody persona can be counted as a slight "multiple personality disorder". Give him a insult, he might kick you to the sky. Give him a compliment & he might blush. But other than that, he's all normal, I think...

A group of children soon ran pass our table.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a fight at the Questboards!"

"Really!? Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go see!"

After that, the children quickly dashed off.

A fight? Just who in the Digital World would-

The table then started shaking, no, vibrating! Plates to spoon & forks dancing, my juice almost fly out of its glass & even the buns started to bounce! This can only mean one thing...

"Noel... quit shaking the table," I said.

"W-What d-d-d-do you m-m-mean?" He shuttered. No, it's more to "His voice's shaking along with the table".

"You're thinking this, Noel. OMG! IT'S WALTER! THAT NO-GOOD TROUBLEMAKER! Am I not wrong?" The vibrating worsened after my impersonation. "Guess I'm-"

"WE GATZ TO STOOP HIIIIIIIM!" He abruptly screamed.

"Hey, shouldn't you wait for me to finish my sen-" A hand immediately grabbed my collar & I was pulled before I can act! I take that as a "NO!" to my question...

All I can do while being dragged is either screamed or sighed. This time I sighed. Seriously, shouldn't comedic scenes like this happened once per week? We got it everyday & I somewhat think it's already a routine! Well... at least, things won't get dull boring, especially when Noel's moodiness here.
