[It's Perry!

He looks a little worse for wear, but happy nonetheless. A satisfied smile that the worst is over and the clean up can begin. He waves at the camera and then gestures across from him, turning the screen around...to a Tokomon wearing a fedora that is WAY too big for it.]

Hello everyone! It's Bartholomew. Perry just wanted me to get the chance to tell you all we are okay and to get to brag. I finally evolved to my ultimate form, Silphymon. Perry even said so. That means he activated his crest, of course, and I'm trying to convince him that it's a sign we should move to our district.

[Tokomon is beaming and happy. The fedora slips down on his head, covering his eyes. A chuckle can be heard off screen and Perry reaches over to adjust the hat back into place. Despite it being too big, Tokomon just won't give up on wearing it.]

Thanks Per. Anyway. I have more good news. We met a new friend. Perry said I should introduce her since she's under my command now, apparently I'm the senior partner for Perry which means I get to call the shots for the new one.

Okay, Perry, you can show her now.

[Perry moves the camera to show a Renamon leaning against a nearby wall. You can tell she is a part of Perry's team because he's apparently already gotten her a fedora. She has it tilted forward and looks like she stepped straight out of a noir film in the way she stands and her hat tilted like that.]

Say hello to Gertrude.

[Gertrude tips her hat, turning to the camera.]

Hello. The name is a bit long, but I suppose if my partner finds it fitting then I shall try to live up to it. After all, it apparently holds some significance for him.

It is good to meet you all. Perry and I have already discussed how we will start repairing the city. But first he must rest...he has apparently been over working himself before I arrived.

[Perry turns the screen away from Gertrude and Bartholomew. He nods at the camera to sign off.]

Heh, was the meet n' greet your idea? Or your fuzzy little friend's?

[Perry shrugs, gesturing at his partners. Part of one, half a dozen of the other. He knows he's been kinda antisocial lately so he was trying to fix that by letting his partners introduce themselves. He hadn't really gotten a chance to do it during the battle.]

Eh, guess it doesn't matter.

Might as well return the gesture.

[The feed turns to the two bunnies on the floor.]

Ya know You. The other one's....Him.

[You can almost feel the Lopmon's internal anger as those ears droop.]

[Oh, your poor partners Wheeljack. Are those seriously the best names you could come up with? Then again, Perry's not really surprised and his face is just kind of neutral. After all, your first partner was named You so what did he expect.

His partners aren't as silent.]

I suddenly don't feel so bad about my own name.

[Apparently at some point in the conversation Gertrude had picked up Bartholomew the Tokomon. He's not protesting.]

Aww don't make that face Lopmon. I think Him is a unique name. Besides, it matches You's...sort of.

[The best ones he can come up with for the moment, yeah. He's at least glad you aren't too expecting of him. You should (and do) know better, after all.]

I'd prefer something more like yours...

Hey, give it time.

You mean you'll rename us eventually?!?

[Is that a...glimmer of hope?]

Well, names are hard.

[Perry concedes this point, inclining his head towards Bartholomew.]

I mean, our names aren't as original as you think. Perry borrowed them. My name was the one he was almost given back home by Phineas and Ferb and Gertrude is the middle name of a girl in Perry's family named Candace.

[Perry has a feeling Candace wouldn't like Bartholomew sharing that information and puts a finger to his lips.]

Borrowed or not, they are actual names.

Wheeljack just needs time. Besides, it's not the names that matter. It's the bond between partner and digimon. I know your bond with him is really strong You. I bet yours will be the same, Him.

...Borrowed.

[That's something Wheeljack never even considered. Then again, you usually named them out of respect for someone else, and Wheeljack had only just started becoming more of a people...robot. It made sense why he couldn't name them properly.

But with that in mind...he looks to his Digimon.]

Yeah, I mean, we could not be named at all, right? I'm starting to really warm up to 'You', anyway!

[Don't make that face, Wheeljack.]

..! Right. I'm sorry...I wasn't very grateful for mine, either.

[Perry isn't sure 'borrowed' is the correct term. But he's also not quite sure how else to put it. Honestly, the names had been a bit of a joke for him, but he hadn't let anyone else in on it.]

See? It all works.
