I sighed. Another gorgeous sunset alone. Well, alone as in not with a girl. Leon was tuning his violin, humming our new song we made up. We, Los Dos Minstréls de México, were going to perform for the Chavez fiesta tonight. We were offered twelve pesos for it. The best we've done all week.
Lupimon yawned and looked up at me with a grin. "Can I come this time?" he asked me with those puppy dog eyes.
"Not tonight," I replied, his cuteness having no effect on me. "Felimon's not coming either, right, Leon?"
"Hmm?" Leon asked, looking up from his violin. "Oh, right. Both of you must stay home." He returned his attention to rosining his bow, ignoring Felimon and Lupimon's moans of disapproval.
You're probably wondering why we know these two digimon. They came to us, and I should tell you how I met Lupimon, I suppose.

It was early morning, and I was up before Leon had the chance to wake me again. One of my lucky days, I guess. Anyway, I was pulling my shirt on when I heard a wierd barking noise outside the window.
I peered out the window, only catching a glimpse of a gray and white tail speeding away. I was heading towards Chapultepec, the park in México City.
Stumbling with my old leather shoes, I shuffled outside, pulling my way-too long hair back into its ponytail. I closed the rickety old door to my one-room house and headed after the creature with the funky tail.

I made my way to Chapultepec, still following the pawprints left by the animal. They led me in front of a park bench near the water fountain. Puzzled, I looked under the bench and found myself staring right at a gray and white fox with big orange eyes, wearing a pendant or something, and carrying a fancy-looking watch.
"Who-Owch!" I cried out as I slammed my head on the bottom of the bench. Wincing, I scooted out from under the bench, whining and rubbing my brand new bump.
The fox slowly crept out, eyeing me with amusement. After a few seconds, it took the pendant off and dropped it in my hand, as well as the watch-thing.
Confused, I asked stupidly, "What? What's all this?"
"Your digivice and crest," it replied as though it were normal for foxes to talk. Caught by suprise, I fell onto my back, yelping out when my back came in contact with a friendly jagged rock.
"Garh!" I growled, pulling myself up, remembering the talking fox thing. "Hey...How did you talk? What are you?"
It laughed. "All Digimon talk. I'm Lupimon, your partner."
"Um...Okay...Then, what's this stuff for?" I demanded, holding the two items up.
"The digivce lets me digivolve, and your crest of Perserverance can make me stronger. Simple." It smirked, like I was just joking around with all the questions, which I wasn't at the moment.
I propped myself up against the bench and sighed, exasperated. "Grreaat...My life gets just a whole lot stupider..."
"Look on the bright side!" it grinned sarcastically. "At least I'm here to protect you, not eat you!"
"So, are you going to explain this?" I asked, rubbing my head. It nodded, beginning to tell me all about the digital world and Magemon. As crazy as I said it was, some of it actually made a little sense, seeing that my life doesn't.
"And that's all?" I questioned him.
"Pretty much. Hey, I'm hungry. Can we get some grub?"
"Why not?" We got up and headed towards home.

"Roberto! Vamos!" Leon yelled from ahead. Pulling my guitar case out, I waved goodbye to Lupimon and Felimon and hustled as fast as I could while lugging my guitar to the fiesta.
"Leon! Amigo! Get over here and help me! Come on! Get back here!"
