I no own Digimon. I dream, but no own.

"So, where do we start?" Caitlyn asks.

Celina looks in her backpack. "First, I think we should get some items."

"Like what?" Eden asks, staring at her symbol.

"Food for one." Celina grinned.

"OK, but where do we go?" Nicky asked.

A little white Digimon waddled up. "Do you need items?" it asked, baring it's teeth.

Eden looked down at it & noticed something familiar. But she just shook it off. "Yeah, actually. Can you help us?"

The Digimon nodded. "Right this way." It began to waddle away.

"What kind of Digimon is that?" Caitlyn asked.

"A Tokomon." Upamon supplied.

She nodded. "OK. I think it's cute…"

They walked in silence until they reached a building. It had a dome-shape, was brown (most likely dirt) & a straw door.

"Is this the shop?" Nicky asked, following Tokomon in.

"Sort of. It's Jijimon's house actually." Tokomon jumped behind a counter. Turning, he smiled again. "Now what can I get you?"

"Food & water." Celina said plainly.

"What kind of food?" Tokomon asked.

"What kind do ya got?" Nicky asks, leaning in.

"All kinds. Vegetables, fruit or bread?"

Celina nodded. "OK, um…we'll take 4 servings of each."

Tokomon went back in the room. Eden began to look around, Hawkmon & the four Gekomon following her.

"What's this?" she stops, pointing at something that looks like a lollipop.

"That is licking stick." Hawkmon said.

"A licking stick?"

"Yes, you lick the stick. It's quite delicious." Hawkmon went on.

Eden looked at her. "Sure…" She walked back to the group as Tokomon came back, leaded down with food.

"There you go." Tokomon smiled.

Nicky grinned, but then thought of something. "Um, guys? There's a problem."

"What? Allergic to vegetables?" Celina joked.

Nicky smirked at her. "No. We don't have money to pay for this."

"Shoot, you're right!" Celina said, frowning.

Nicky nodded. "I always am." Then he turned to Tokomon & sighed. "Unfortunately, we can't pay for this."

Tokomon tilted his head. "Money? What's this money?"

Celina was shocked. "Um, you don't know what money is?"

Tokomon shook his head. "Well, money is…" Nicky started.

"Money is…" Celina tried, but failed.

Eden smiled. "Money is paper & coins that we use to buy stuff."

Tokomon nodded, understanding. "Oh, I see. So your 'money' is like our assets."

"Well, yeah." Eden nodded. "And we don't have any of that."

Tokomon began to laugh. "No need to worry. This is on me."

Caitlyn smiled. "Really? That would be really nice."

Tokomon nodded. "Sure. You are the Digidestined, right?"

They nodded, so Tokomon began putting the food in bags. "It's fine. I'd be happy to help any Digidestined…" He became sad all of a sudden.

"Tokomon, what's wrong?" Eden asked, cocking her head.

Tokomon was silent until Eden put her hand on his 'shoulder.' "Tokomon, did someone hurt you?" she asked.

Tokomon looked up at her blue eyes that look so much like…

"No!" Tokomon yelled, jumping back.

"What was that about?" Nicky murmured.

"Tokomon, what's wrong?" Eden asked, her eyes softening.

Tokomon shook his head, refusing to look at her. "Just…go…" he cried out, tears coming down his face.

Eden was about to walk over to him, when she felt a hand. Looking up, she saw Celina shake her head.

Nicky & Caitlyn walked out, followed by Celina. Eden looked at Tokomon, feeling a stab in her heart.

Turning, she murmured. "I'm sorry, Tokomon." She walked out, tears forming in her eyes.

In case you didn't know, Tokomon is Patamon's In-Training form…Please RR
