~~Hello readers, I'm back with a new chapter.
I do not own anything from Digimon.
Only my original characters belong to me.~~
It was now the middle of the afternoon.
The eighth grade graduation ceremony had just ended.
Ariel and I were quietly sitting down, waiting for the huge crowds of people to disperse.
I cautiously scanned the area for any signs of Julie.
My eyes were still filled with tears of sadness and defeat.
Luckily, I didn't see her anywhere.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Ariel tapped on my shoulder. "Hey Sioku, how are you feeling?"
"Okay I guess," I answered quietly.
Ariel gave me a sympathetic look.
"I'm really sorry that happened to you," she said while wrapping her arms around me.
I gratefully returned the hug.
"Don't worry Ariel, you have nothing to apologize for. It's not your fault that Julie is a total nut case," I replied jokingly.
"Cheer up Sioku, things will get better. She can't keep you down forever," Ariel said as she released me.
I gave her a small smile in response.
The field began to open up as people exited the area.
My luck had officially run out when I spotted Mira walking toward Ariel and me.
Mira is a 15-year-old girl with red eyes and short, brown hair.
She was dressed in black shoes and socks, black sweat pants, a grey, long sleeved shirt, and a grey hoody.
I looked away to avoid making eye contact with her.
"Oh no, look what the cat dragged in," started Ariel.
I smiled as a light chuckle escaped me.
Mira ignored Ariel and immediately focused her attention on me.
She grinned and stared at my red cheeks.
"Oh wow Sad Sioku, my mom really did a number on you! I enjoyed watching you break down," she teased.
I just closed my eyes and remained silent.
Tentomon would freak out if I got into a fight.
"Get out of her face Mira," ordered Ariel as she stood up.
Mira threw my best friend a glare. "I don't take orders from you."
Ariel stood behind Mira while keeping a sharp eye on her.
Come on Sad Sioku, have you gone mute? I know you want to fight me," Mira taunted.
I still didn't move a muscle.
Ignoring Mira was the best thing I could do to preserve my sanity.
Ariel forced herself in between Mira and me, her face filled with rage.
"Mira, I'll fight you if you don't shut your mouth! Leave her alone," she yelled.
I couldn't help but chuckle at Ariel's threat.
Mira let out a careless laugh. "Oh my gosh, you are hilarious! I always knew that Sad Sioku couldn't fight her own battles."
Ariel furiously raised her fist in the air.
"You're wrong, Sioku is smart and won't sink down to your level. Go away from us right now," she warned.
"Oh I'm not scared of you," Mira replied.
Ariel held back a growl of frustration.
"I mean it Mira," she shouted.
Mira sighed and pulled out her phone.
"Maybe this will lure the fight out of her," she said while tapping on the Yutube App.
We heard clicking sounds as she typed in the search box.
Ariel stared down at Mira's phone in anticipation.
Mira scrolled down to a link and pressed on it.
A song from VeggieTales began to play at a loud volume.
The air around me suddenly grew thick.
Julie's painful words echoed loudly in my mind.
My body began to shake violently as I tried to ignore the infectious tune.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I lowered my head.
My heart pounded rapidly in my chest.
It was getting difficult for me to breathe.
I silently prayed for Tentomon to speak to me again.
"What's the matter Sad Sioku? Don't you love VeggieTales?" asked Mira as she moved closer to me.
I focused on trying to calm myself down instead of answering her question.
Mira's relentless actions caused Ariel to lose her composure.
"You've gone too far!" she screamed.
I slowly opened my eyes.
Without warning, Ariel's fist came in contact with the left side of Mira's head.
Mira cried out in pain as she fell to the ground.
Both girls then started wrestling with each other.
The fight didn't catch my interest at all.
I saw this moment as an opportunity to escape.
Without hesitating,I stood up and took off running through the field.
The wind blew my hair around as I turned down the dirt path.
"Sioku, where are you running off to?" asked Tentomon.
"I don't know," I thought.
I picked up speed even though my body was getting weak from all of the strain I was putting on it.
My body eventually gave into the weakness, and I collapsed on the ground with a hard thud.
"Sioku!" Tentomon cried out.
I heard him calling out to me, but I just couldn't respond.
The sunlight shined in my eyes as I slowly started to wake up.
I looked around and noticed that I was still outside.
There was a chain-link fence to my right.
"Where am I? What happened to me?" I groaned.
"You collapsed from dizziness," Tentomon answered.
I carefully sat up and brushed myself off.
"That's weird," I thought.
"You really scared me," Tentomon replied.
I giggled at the sound of his voice.
"Please don't worry Tentomon, I'm perfectly fine. I promise," I assured.
Suddenly, a beam of bright light floated down toward me.
I curiously stared up at it.
"What the heck is that?" I asked out loud.
To my surprise, a weird looking device landed in my lap.
The device began to beep as I picked it up.
I gasped in awe as a circular portal mysteriously opened up above my head.
"What's happening?" I asked.
Within a matter of seconds, I was immediately pulled in by a vortex of energy.
Once I landed, I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar place.
I let out a yawn as I stood up.
"The best thing to do now is to look around," I said.
I started to wander around the area hoping I would find something or someone.
There were many plants and tall trees everywhere.
I heard the peaceful sound of streaming water and decided to follow it.
The path led me to a river.
"This place is beautiful," I whispered with a smile.
I sat down in a patch of soft grass and closed my eyes.
All that mattered to me right now was being out of Mira and Julie's sight.
Just as I was about to slip into my thoughts, the strange new device I had started beeping again.
I curiously looked down at the device and saw a bright light emitting from it.
"What is going on?" I thought.
"Hey Sioku, I have arrived. I'll be at your side in a second," said a familiar voice from behind me.
I gasped happily as I remembered who that cute male voice belonged to.
My mind started to race in all directions.
"Tentomon! Is that really you?" I asked hopefully.
"Of course it's me," he answered.
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.
"I'm coming now Sioku," said Tentomon as he flew down from a tree branch.
I jumped in surprise as the ladybug like creature landed on my shoulder.
"Please don't be afraid Sioku. I do apologize for frightening you," he said, looking slightly embarrassed.
I turned to him and smiled brightly. "Don't worry Tentomon, you didn't scare me at all. I'm just happy to finally meet you."
"I could say the same about you Sioku. Welcome to the DigiWorld," he replied.
"This is the DigiWorld? No way! I've always dreamed of coming here," I said while blushing.
"Your dream is reality now," he replied.
A feeling of pure joy washed over me as I felt the Digimon lean himself against my neck.
All of my worries began to disappear one by one.
I stared passionately into his large, green eyes.
"Thank you for entering my life Tentomon," I softly whispered.
Tentomon let out a yawn in response.
He then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Tentomon looks exhausted," I thought.
Using my other hand, I carefully reached over to where Tentomon was sleeping and gently lifted him off of my shoulder.
"Come here Tentomon," I whispered lovingly.
I leaned against a tree and gently laid him on my chest.
Tentomon reminded me of Milo whenever he slept on me.
My mind wandered off as I watched him.
I let out a sigh of relaxation.
Meeting Tentomon in person was the best thing that has happened to me today.
I gently placed my hand over his sleeping form.
He just looked so precious.
The sound of the river beside us pulled me deep into my thoughts.
Tentomon and I relaxed for what seemed like hours.
I was finally in a better place.
Suddenly, we were startled awake by a loud roar.
I looked up to see a large, winged creature flying down toward us.
The giant insect was red and black with two pincers on the top of it's head.
"Could this be another Digimon?" I asked.
Tentomon wearily looked around as he woke up. "Sioku! We've got to get out of here!"
The tone in Tentomon's voice sounded as if he was frightened.
I held the Digimon close to calm him down. "Are you all right Tentomon? Do you know what that is?"
Tentomon quickly climbed up on my shoulder to get a closer look.
"I'm worried about you Sioku! That Digimon is called Kuwagamon. It is protected by its tenacious power and sturdy shell. Once Kuwagamon clamps down on an enemy with its powerful pincers, it will squeeze until the opponent's life is extinguished," he explained.
I smiled in admiration of his intelligence. "Wow Tentomon, I could learn a lot from you."
"That's what I'm here for," he replied.
The vicious looking Kuwagamon roared again as it flew closer to us.
"Super shocker," hollered Tentomon.
I watched in awe as Tentomon spewed volts of electricity at Kuwagamon and paralyzed it.
Kuwagamon roared in pain as it fell to the ground.
"Nice shot Tentomon," I praised.
"This is our perfect opportunity to escape. Let's go Sioku," he said.
"Right," I replied.
I grabbed onto Tentomon with both hands, and he lifted me in the air.
A feeling of elation washed over me as I felt the rush of energy between us.
We then took off in the opposite direction of where Kuwagamon was.
I looked down at all of the beautiful scenery as we flew.
"The DigiWorld is a wonderful place," I said.
"It can also be dangerous," Tentomon replied.
Tentomon spotted a thick forest and proceeded to land in the middle of it.
I slowly released him once we reached the ground.
"Thanks for the ride," I said happily.
"It's no trouble at all Sioku. Keeping you safe will always be my first priority," he replied.
"I love you so much already," I said while rubbing the top of his head.
Tentomon just blushed in response.
I walked around the thick forest with Tentomon hovering at my side.
Fortunately, i didn't see a sign of Kuwagamon anywhere.
There was a long period of silence between us.
I decided to break the silence by starting a conversation with him. "Hey Tentomon, have you ever Digi-evolved?"
Tentomon gasped at that and lowered his head.
"Hold on Tentomon, what's wrong with Digi-Evolution?" I asked in utter shock.
His body started to tremble as he remained still.
"Please tell me what's wrong Tentomon. I want to help you," I said calmly.
The Digimon silently turned to face me with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.
He seemed as if I had just hit a nerve inside him by accident.
"What's the matter Tentomon? Did I upset you?" I asked, feeling concerned for my new friend.
There was no answer from my partner.
I never expected him to shut down on me like that.
"Poor Tentomon, I must have accidentally triggered a bad memory. He has probably been through some kind of trauma. I need to figure out a way to help him," I desperately thought.
I reached my hand out and gently pulled him closer to me. "Tentomon, did something happen to you? You can tell me anything that's on your mind. This conversation will be between us, I promise."
Tentomon started to calm down as I softly whispered to him.
I then paced around with him in my arms.
Caring for Tentomon like this made me think of my little dog at home.
Once Tentomon had settled down, I found a tall tree and sat beside it.
Tentomon and I relaxed as we listened to the wind.
Without warning, Tentomon climbed on my shoulder and then jumped onto my head.
I jumped in surprise at his action. "Tentomon, what's going on?"
"I thought I saw Kuwagamon. Sorry Sioku," he replied while floating down to my side.
"Don't worry about it," I said with a smile.
My smile then faded revealing a frown of remorse. "Hey Tentomon, I'm really sorry for upsetting you earlier. I would never ever do that on purpose."
The digimon leaned against my side in a comforting way. "I know Sioku, that wasn't your fault. I should have answered you right away."
"I'm not going to put any pressure on you," I assured.
"I appreciate your patience," he replied.
Tentomon softly landed on my chest and curled up.
After much thinking, Tentomon looked up at me.
Hey Sioku," he said.
"Yes Tentomon?" I replied.
"I'll tell you my story now," he answered.
"I'm right here if it starts to get rough on your emotions," I reassured.
Tentomon took a deep breath to relax himself. "A year before I met you Sioku, I belonged to a horrible person in this world. Her name was Mira, and she treated me like her personal slave. Mira wasn't kind like you. She forced me to Digi-evolve and fight against vicious Digimon who are stronger than Kuwagamon. I got severely wounded in the process, but she didn't care at all. Mira would also physically strike me every time I informed her about a Digimon she encountered."
"Mira... I recognize that name," I thought angrily.
My heart sank to the floor after Tentomon finished telling his story.
Knowing that Mira had hurt this innocent Digimon in the past made me hate her more than ever.
Tears of sadness mixed with anger welled up in my eyes as I embraced him.
"I'm so sorry Tentomon, you never deserved any of that. I also know Mira, and she was a bully to me. I'll get her for hurting both of us," I said quietly.
Tentomon stared at me with a look of concern. "Sioku, do you know if she is here?"
"I sure hope not," I answered.
"Hey Tentomon," I said as a curious thought crossed my mind.
"What is it?" he replied.
"How did you two separate?" I asked.
It happened one night while Mira was asleep. I secretly Digi-evolved into Cabutarimon and destroyed her Digivice with my Electro Shocker. The girl was immediately sent back to her own world through a portal," he explained.
I picked up the new device in my lap. "This little machine is called a Digivice?"
"Yes, you must have a Digivice in order for me to Digi-evolve. Humans arent allowed to enter the DigiWorld without one," he answered.
"That's good to know," I replied.
I then smiled at Tentomon with a look of pride in my eyes. "Hey Tentomon, were you serious about sending Mira away like that?"
"I would never lie," he answered.
I almost couldn't believe what I had just heard.
"Wow Tentomon, you're the most amazing little creature I've ever met in my life. I wish I had your courage," I said.
Tentomon grinned at me in response.
"It's true," I added
I comfortingly held the Digimon close to me.
"You don't have to worry anymore Tentomon. I'll always be here to protect you. You are safe with me for sure."
"Thank you Sioku," he replied.
Tentomon yawned and closed his eyes.
"Sleep well my friend," I whispered lovingly.
I sang one of my favorite songs to him as he drifted off.
Tentomon looked as beautiful as a new born puppy.
I couldn't help but stare at him and smile.
Thinking back, I remembered us being attacked by Kuwagamon a while ago.
I stayed awake to watch over the sleeping Digimon.
Protecting him from as much danger as possible was my main priority now.
I decided to watch the sunset, and it was very pretty.
My body eventually gave into exhaustion, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
Tentomon was still curled up on my chest.
We slept peacefully through the night.
~Time Skip to Morning~
The bright sun was just about to rise in the clear sky.
I woke up to Tentomon shaking like a leaf.
My eyes shot wide open as I gasped in surprise.
I looked down at him and noticed that his eyes were still closed.
His heart rate rapidly increased as he breathed heavily.
"Tentomon, are you all right?" I whispered.
There was no answer from my Digimon.
"He must have had a nightmare," I thought.
I carefully lifted Tentomon into my hand and soothingly stroked him.
"It's okay Tentomon, I'm right here. Calm down," I said softly.
He didn't show any reaction to my voice.
I continued holding and whispering reassurances to him.
Tentomon finally opened his eyes after a few minutes.
"Sioku, is that really you?" he asked weakly.
"Yes Tentomon, it is me. I've been here with you since yesterday," I answered.
Tentomon started to relax as he stared into my eyes.
"Thank you for staying by my side," he said.
"You're very welcome Tentomon. I'm so relieved that you still recognize me," I replied while holding him close.
I stood up and started pacing back and forth with him.
His heart rate slowly decreased back to normal.
After a few minutes, I sat back down beside the tree.
I then sang another song to keep him calm.
Tentomon fell asleep toward the end of my song.
I decided to stay awake in order to monitor him closely.
He didn't show anymore signs of a nightmare which put my mind at ease.
~A Few Hours Later~
I was still sitting beside the tree with Tentomon sleeping on me.
He just looked so adorable.
The sunlight was very bright today.
I patiently waited for him to wake up.
To my surprise, I heard voices coming from another part of the forest.
My curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to go follow them.
With Tentomon secured on my shouldr, I stood up and started making my way toward the voices.
A light breeze lightly brushed against my face as I walked.
Tentomon woke up on the way to our destination.
The Digimon remained silent as he looked up at me.
He was definitely looking like himself again.,
"Hi Tentomon," I said happily.
"Good morning Sioku," he replied.
He definitely seemed a lot calmer now.
I gently lifted him into my hand. "Hey DigiDearest, are you feeling better?"
"I feel just fine," he answered wile blushing.
I was relieved to hear his beautiful voice again.
"What are you blushing for?" I asked before laughing out loud.
"That nickname is really cute," he answered.
"I'm glad you like it," I replied.
We had a brief moment of silence.
Tentomon then hopped off of my hand and floated beside me.
He looked relieved to be back in the air.
"Wait Tentomon, are you sure you're feeling strong enough to do that?" I asked with concern.
Tentomon gave me a reassuring smile.
"Of course I am," he answered.
"You recovered from that nightmare quicker than I thought," I said in admiration.
"I couldn't have done it without you Sioku," he replied.
Tentomon sounded as if he never had a bad dream.
His lively spirit was back to normal.
I followed Tentomon as we traveled through the thick forest.
There were many tree branches scattered on the floor.
I tried not to trip as I stepped over them.
"By the way Sioku, where are we off to?" asked Tentomon curiously.
"I heard voices in the distance. They sounded like other people," I answered.
After much walking, I finally reached the other side of the forest with Tentomon hovering at my right side.
The voices grew louder as we walked around a cluster of trees.
"Hey, you were right Sioku! There are other humans in the DigiWorld," Tentomon exclaimed.
"Nice work Tentomon! Let's go," I praised with joy.
The Digimon happily led me to a group of seven kids sitting around a burning wood fire.
Each one of the kids had a Digimon at their side.
The kids were having conversations with their DigiPartners.
"Hey guys, I see a girl walking toward us. She also has a Digimon with her," one of them said.
All of the other kids watched as I approached the group.
"Hello," I said.
"Greetings everyone," added Tentomon.
I was immediately approached by a kid with spiky brown hair and brown eyes.
He wore a pair of light grey goggles with a black strap.
"Hello Mis, my name is Tai. It's a pleasure to meet you," he greeted with a smile.
I was attracted by this kid's friendly attitude toward me.
"I'm glad to meet you as well. My name is Sioku," I replied.
Tai had on white and blue sneekers with a yellow line in the back, black pants with a grey vertical line on each side, and a blue long sleeved shirt with orange stars near the shoulders and a yellow collar.
I followed Tai as he walked over to the river.
We stood near a giant rock covered in moss.
"Wait up Tai! I'm coming too," called another voice.
I curiously turned my head to where the voice was coming from.
"Oops, sorry Agumon," said Tai.
I watched as another Digimon came running toward his human friend.
"Sioku, this is Agumon. He Digi-evolved from Koromon," Tai explained.
"That little guy is so cute," I exclaimed while staring down at him.
"I can't argue with you there," Tai replied.
The creature standing in front of Tai was a yellow, T-Rex-like reptile with green eyes.
I carefully knelt down to the adorable creature's level and reached my hand out to him.
Without hesitating, Agumon happily jumped into my arms.
I jumped in surprise at his action.
"Hi Sioku, my name is Agumon. I'm so excited to meet you," he said in a high pitched voice.
"Agumon, settle down! You need to give Sioku her space," Tai hollered in annoyance.
Agumon lowered his head in shame.
I patted the Digimon's head in reassurance.
"He's okay," I reassured.
"I grinned and wrapped my arms around the cheerful Digimon. "I feel the same way about you Agumon. You're just as adorable as my little Tentomon."
Tentomon flew over to my side to see what was going on.
He gently landed on my shoulder.
"Oh hi Tentomon," I said before laughing.
"Hello Sioku, I'm glad to see that you have made a new friend. Tai seems really friendly," he replied.
"Look Tai, Sioku has a Tentomon as her partner," Agumon said cheerfully.
A feeling of embarrassment washed over me as I looked up at Tai.
"Oops, I forgot to introduce you to my Digimon friend. This is Tentomon," I said.
"I'm pleased to make your aquaintance Tai," added Tentomon.
"My friend Izzy has a Tentomon as well," Tai replied.
I stared down at Agumon who was leaning against my chest.
"You should come join us," the Digimon said to me.
"That sounds like a great idea," Tai continued.
"Okay, I would love to meet your other friends," I agreed.
I gently lowered Agumon to the ground and released him.
Agumon quickly ran back to Tai and stood beside him.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," he said.
I giggled at Agumon's enthusiasm.
Tai and Agumon happily led Tentomon and me back to the wood fire where the rest of their friends were still sitting.
All of the other kids looked thrilled to see us.
"Hey guys, we're back with a new friend. This is Sioku," said Tai.
"Hi Sioku, my name is Sora," said one of the girls.
Sora had long, orange hair and marroon eyes.
She wore dark grey sneakers with crimson highlights, blue jeans with a pink belt, a yello sleeveless turtlenecked shirt with a white collar, red gloves, and a blue beanie with a cyan brim and straps.
"Hello Sora," I replied.
She pointed to a pink bird-like creature that was perched on her shoulder. "This is my friend Biyomon."
Biyomon had a blue striped feather on her head.
"Hy Sioku," she said.
"It's nice to meet you Biyomon," I replied.
"Please excuse me," I said suddenly.
Sora nodded and turned back to the others.
I turned around to see a boy walking toward me from behind a tree.
He stopped in front of me and smiled.
This boy had short, spiky red hair and dark eyes with thick eyebrows.
He had on purple and grey shoes, green socks, olive green shorts, an orange button up shirt with rolled back sleeves, and light yellow gloves.
"Good morning Sioku, I couldn't help but notice that you also have a Tentomon. My name is Izzy," he said politely.
"Same to you Izzy, it's a pleasure to meet you. I just met my Tentomon yesterday," I replied.
Tentomon looked at Izzy and then back at me.
He seemed anxious about this boy for some reason.
Izzy cautiously approached my Digimon. "Sioku, may I examine him? This will only take a nanno second."
"Sure," I answered.
Just as Izzy was about to grab Tentomon, the Digimon jumped off of my shoulder and flew away from him.
I gasped in astonishment at the Digimon. "Tentomon, what's gotten into you?"
Tentomon didn't respond and hovered against my left side while trembling in fear.
I quickly pulled Tentomon into a comforting embrace.
"Come here Tentomon," I whispered.
Tentomon's heart raced as he breathed heavily.
"It's all right DigiDearest, I've got you. Calm down," I said softly.
Izzy narrowed his eyes in confusion as he stared at me. "Why did he do that? What's wrong with your Digimon?"
I let out a disappointed sigh.
"My Tentomon has been through trauma that I can't explain to anybody," I answered.
"That's understandable," he replied.
I started pacing back and forth while still holding Tentomon to help him relax.
Izzy seemed fascinated by my way of helping Tentomon.
"I've never seen somebody care for a Digimon like that," he said in admiration.
"I observed my mother whenever she tended to my little sister and learned from her," I replied.
"I can tell that you two already have a strong bond," he complemented.
"Thank you very much," I replied.
I decided to sit back down next to izzy because Tentomon had fallen asleep on me.
"Rest well DigiDearest," I whispered to him.
We listened as the others conversed amongst themselves.
"Hey Izzy," said the other Tentomon.
"What is it?" Izzy replied.
"Our new friend is quite gifted," Tentomon answered.
"I agree," Izzy added.
I smiled warmly at the Digimon floating beside Izzy.
Izzy and I remained silent and watched as my Tentomon slept peacefully.
A few minutes later, I spotted another girl walking toward Izzy amd me.
This girl had long, wavy light brown hair and light brown eyes.
She wore brown and white shoes, pink socks, a western-style red dress with a buttoned poncho, a dark brown belt with a golden buckle, light brown gloves with brown straps around the wrists, and a large, pink cowgirl hat with a drawstring.
"Hello you two, are you coming back to the group?" she said.
"Yes, we'll be there shortly. My Digimon is resting right now. My name is Sioku," I answered quietly.
"It's great to meet you Sioku. My name is Mimi," she replied.
Mimi pointed to a green, plant-like Digimon standing beside her.
It had a tail and small bumps lining its back.
The top of its head was adorned with a pink and yellow flower.
"This is my friend Palmon," she said.
"I'm pleased to meet you Palmon," I replied.
Palmon curiously looked down at Tentomon who remained still in my arms. "Your Digimon looks exhausted, what happened?"
I immediately thought of a way to cover up Tentomon's situation.
"We were attacked by a Kuwagamon yesterday," I answered.
"You'll be safe with us," Mimi replied.
I gave her a nod before carefully standing up.
Tentomon began to shift in his sleep, and I tightened my hold on him.
"Relax Tentomon," I said smoothly.
"I'll lead you to the others," Izzy said quietly.
"Sounds good," I whispered back.
I slowly followed Izzy andMimi back to the group.
"Welcome back Sioku," said Tai.
"Thank you," I replied as I sat down on the ground beside him.
The fire was still blazing in front of us.
A few minutes later, Tentomon opened his eyes.
"Sioku," he said.
"I'm right here DigiDearest," I replied soothingly.
The sound of my voice prevented him from getting nervous.
Tentomon let out a yawn as he stretched his body.
The Digimon then flew up to my shoulder and sat down.
"Be careful DigiDearest," I said.
Tai chuckled as he looked at me.
"You heard that?" I asked while blushing.
"Yes, but it's nothing to be ashamed of. I could already tell how much you love your Digimon," he answered happily.
I smiled at Tentomon as he looked around.
This little Digimon was already the love of my life.
I wouldn't trade him for the world.
