Author's Note
This is the one I got stuck in, but all things considered, I think I got myself unstuck well enough. Enjoy, and thank you everyone.
The First Adventures of Bokomon and Neemon
Even before they met the Legendary Warriors, they had adventures. Only, they weren't quite so...adventurous.

'Bokomon, would you be sad if I left?' Neemon asked suddenly. His timing wasn't too good though, seeing as though Bokomon was absorbed in trying to decipher a text in digi-code and thus in no mood for his friend's antics, nor really sparing the required energy to fully understand the others statement in any case.
'No,' he muttered distractedly in reply, focus absorbed in his attempt to read and translate and thinking the other meant simply leaving him alone so he could study.
'Would you miss me?' the yellow rabbit asked, somewhat sadly.
'No,' came the response again.
'Okay.' The sigh was wistful, but like the sadness, it was lost to the white gnome.
Until the silence left behind stretched unnaturally far, and Bokomon finally realised the implications of their conversation.
Then he berated both himself and his friend in his mind before setting off to find him.
'What were you thinking Neemon?' he asked in a mixture of emotions once he eventually found him (luckily, he was predictable enough to be found easily).
'You told me you wouldn't be sad if I left!' the other wailed miserably.
'That wasn't what I meant,' Bokomon reasoned. 'I thought you meant something else.'
'Then why did you say no?'
'I just wasn't paying attention,' he said, before apologizing. 'I'm sorry. Now let's go home.'
'Okay,' Neemon said cheerfully, the earlier episode already forgotten as they began the trek home.
Bokomon followed in silence as well, marvelling at the ironic turn of events; evidently, he needed to pay more attention to what was going around him and less attention to his studies.
