[Hi Yu. The teen is on the screen, his apartment in the background. Raidou, usually an Elecmon, is currently a Tsunomon... and there is a new mon, a Gaomon]

I wanted to thank everyone for their hard work recently. Things looked bad for awhile, but we all managed to make it through- everyone should be proud, even with all the unfortunate lead up.

Also, I wanted to introduce my new partner, Tatsuya.

[Gaomon waves shyly, smiling]

Please be kind to her, and if she doesn't respond to you don't be insulted- she can't speak, but she can hear and understand you just fine.

[Tsunomon bounces in his lap]

Yu got his crest too! I digivolved into Caturamon!

[He seems to realize he's being bold, and blushes]

Don't be shy, you fought hard. I might had gained the crest, but you and Roze's partner saved the day. I heard that others got a crest too... is that so? I'd like to hear about it.

Sure seems that way. I guess you guys are friends huh?

I'd like to think so. We had a lovely afternoon together.

[Tatsuya nods, tilting her head back in mimic of singing, soft hollow noises escaping her muzzle- like wind through a tube, nothing based off a working voicebox. Then clasps her paws over her heart, swaying slightly as she remembers Rita's music, tail going a mile a minute]

...I'm not sure I got all that, but she looks pretty happy, regardless.

[changelingdude]

She's the best audience I've ever had at the park. And I'll be happy to sing for her anytime.

Wow! That's pretty sweet!

[leaderkun]

Ah, you sing Rita? I'd be interested in hearing it too.

O-oh well...I don't have anything prepared...

Aw sure you do Rita. You've always got a song in your heart.

Are you sure? Should I get my keyboard?

Just sing.

[Rita sings and when it's over Beastboy claps and whistles, Chili gives a respectful and restrained applause]

[leaderkun]

[Tatsuya looks entralled, and Yu outright charmed, both clapping as well once she's done]

That was lovely Rita. You have a real talent.

[changelingdude]

O-oh gosh...thank you! Really I appreciate it.

So modest.

[Beastboy laughs and pets her head affectionately. Even chili speaks up]

Modesty in one's talents is a virtue. But pride in one's skills is a reward that should be earned. And in your case it has. You train every day to sound like that.

W-well...I suppose that's true.

[She's blushing so hot she's practically glowing]

[leaderkun]

He's right. You should never be ashamed of your talents.

[changelingdude]

I-I guess I just still haven't learned how to accept praise.

Well you keep up that musical stuff and you'll be getting plenty of praise to practice with.
