Homeless and voice testing.

[sincerityinstyle]

So you would wait until right after I get back to Japan and see everyone before grabbing me off to here, huh?

[Mimi looks stern, but it fades into a grin after a few seconds, and she holds up her hand defensively.]

I'm kidding! It's fine, it's fine. I get to talk to everyone and meet all these new people. It would've been nice to stay back home for a little bit, but I can manage! At least Palmon is here too.

It's just.

You don't have any plans. You can't bring me here and then just leave me! I mean, you aren't planning to have me just sit around talking to whoever turns up and never actually do anything or go anywhere, right?

...Right?

That's gonna get pretty boring, you know. And I'll run out of candy to share!

[nevercuthishair]

So, what other kind of candy do you have that you didn't share with our Digimon earlier?

(He saw how Agumon scarfed down that bag. Then again, he had gone through a lot...)

[sincerityinstyle]

Why would I have other kinds when that is clearly the best kind?

[She offers him one. It's orange and blue colored.]

[nevercuthishair]

...'Cause there are days when I might want chocolate instead of gummies?

(Orange and blue. Is Mimi trying to tell him something? He shrugs after a moment and eats it. He can't deny it's not good. His expression even says so.)

[sincerityinstyle]

That's chocolate, not candy.

[She says this as if clearly he should know the distinction. But then she just grins at his reaction and offers him another one.]

[nevercuthishair]

...Yeah, you have a point there.

(To Taichi, chocolate's just another form of candy but even he knows trying to discuss things with Mimi won't work. He'd lose that round and every other. Still doesn't stop him from accepting another one.)

You're not the only one who doesn't have anywhere to go.

[sincerityinstyle]

[She just grins brightly because of course she has a point there. She has all the best points.]

You too?! It seems like everyone I talk to is stuck here not doing anything.

[nevercuthishair]

Yeah. It's not like I don't wanna go anywhere, but it's just that it needs to appeal to all of us. It's the same with you, right?

(True. She is their singing princess, after all.)

[sincerityinstyle]

Well, I'd rather go almost anywhere than be stuck here doing nothing. But I guess everyone else should like where we go too.

[nevercuthishair]

Exactly. And, it should be a place that accepts Digimon too.

[sincerityinstyle]

Yeah! This last year without Palmon has been awful. She has to come with me!

[nevercuthishair]

Right! Think anyone back home will notice if we're gone? Maybe we should have our parents cover for us. Then again, you're probably already covered so you're okay.

[sincerityinstyle]

Well, I'm sure they'll notice! But they know we go off to be heroes sometimes!

My dad would probably get pretty worried, but I think he trusts me.

[nevercuthishair]

...Yeah, of course they notice but they also know it's been a few years since we've done that!

That's good. Mom trusts Hikari and me to handle things pretty well by now too.

[sincerityinstyle]

Yeah. It's been pretty tame lately, huh?

[Part of her misses all the excitement.]

My parents pretty much let me do whatever, so they'll trust me!

[nevercuthishair]

Yeah-pretty tame and kinda lonely.

(He's obviously referring to Agumon and the Digimon, not the battles.)

Benefits of being an only child?

[sincerityinstyle]

Yeah...

[She was so glad Palmon was back.]

Pretty much! But I never let it go to my head.

[She so does.]

[nevercuthishair]

Good thing they're back, huh?

(He just hopes they get to stay for good this time.)

Right. Of course you don't.

(He knows she does but won't say it out loud.)

[sincerityinstyle]

It is! I mean, aside from all the bad things happening. I wish they could've just come back and not have some disaster happening.

[She just smiles brightly at his agreement.]

[nevercuthishair]

Yeah but then there'd be some investigation on why they came back, what to expect now that they were back, possible threats following after them...and those you-know-who guys...

(Even Taichi knows to keep things hush-hush concerning super private stuff.)

[sincerityinstyle]

Why? It's not like we'd have to tell anyone they were back.

[nevercuthishair]

True, but if Koushirou can detect things like the Digimon appearing, who's to say others couldn't?

[sincerityinstyle]

Yeah...

But it shouldn't matter if they aren't doing anything wrong, right?

[nevercuthishair]

...Of course not, but while we know our Digimon wouldn't do anything wrong others won't see things like us.

(He'd almost suggest to ask Yamato, but then again...)

[sincerityinstyle]

They might. People remember that they were saved by digimon last time things like this happened!

We'd just have to remind them.

[nevercuthishair]

Ha, yeah I guess we will. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

[sincerityinstyle]

Nope! I mean, who can resist them? They're adorable.

[nevercuthishair]

As long as they don't evolve past Child level, they are.

[sincerityinstyle]

Palmon is always adorable, in any form!

[nevercuthishair]

...Really? Lillymon I can understand, but Togemon?

[sincerityinstyle]

You mean you don't think Togemon is adorable, Taichi?

[Hands on hips. Answer carefully.]

[nevercuthishair]

(Uh-oh. Quick, similar answer he may or may not have given when they were kids and...go!)

That's not what I meant, Mimi! Palmon's adorable yeah, and Lillymon's gorgeous but Togemon...she's a giant, super-cool cactus with boxing gloves! She's adorable in that way, as in 'cross Mimi and I'll send you flying to the moon!' way!
