themainframe | What a wonderful day for a parade!

[The broadcast begins located outside of pallet town. The camera tilts to see that Harley's Dracmon "Judy" is holding onto it. She waves and the eyeball on her hand blinks curiously into the camera before she turns it back on a gathering of Digimon and Harley Quinn herself shouting at them. The Digimon are all locals from the area, who either volunteered or were "Voluntold" by Harley they were going to participate. She is dressed in a jester costume, red and black with her face painted white and is holding a baton with a ghoulish looking clown face on it.

Plugging two fingers into her lips she whistles and the Digimon all form up into marching lines as her other partner, Opossumon floats into the air and releases some colorful balloons that explode showering the crowd with confetti.

That appears to be the signal as the crowd surges forward and loud music starts playing! The camera watches it all as Harley leads the crowd into the districts and amazingly enough, there's more then just marching, music playing Digimon!

Some Digimon are pulling carts with colorful paper and items stacked on top to act as parade floats! The first one shows the city itself, but it's made out of flowers! It's a colorful sight that betrays the time of year. Plant Digimon stationed on this float are throwing candy out to anyone who happens to be looking out their windows or on the street as the parade passes by.

Next is a massive (And hideous) balloon that Harley apparently stitched together out of whatever she found laying around. It's doing the job though as it drifts through the air...and it looks oddly out of place and yet familiar at the same time.

Another float, this one showing some unfortunate chosen dressed as Titanmon. Some smaller baby Digimon are on this float and having fun spitting out bubbles, biting and bouncing on the stand in for the recent citywide terror.

And then more balloons. If nothing else it's impressive what Harley can apparently accomplish using the ruins and wreckage from the city. The candy is salvaged from the wrecked candy shop, and if you look past the paint and colorful paper on each float it's clear they were constructed from salvaged parts.

And all the while Opossumon is floating about exploding balloons of confetti to rain down on the crowd as Digimon sing and dance and cheer to the sky. They city may be broken, their lives may be shaken. But they are still living. There's still hope for a better tomorrow.

And for that they are all thankful.

The parade will weave through the districts of the city, around the wreckage as best they can till they complete a full lap and return to wear they started in pallet town. Are you awoken by the noise? Were you drafted to participate in one way or another? Maybe you have your own float or balloon to keep track of.

Either way it's loud, messy fun with free candy and music and lots of smiles that you can enjoy either live as it passes by your home, or via the broadcast.]

Kaldur was not expecting to find a parade on his way to visit some friends, and yet, there it was. He couldn't help but to stop and watch as several digimon passed by with floats and balloons. Including some rather familiar looking balloons at that.

"Why'd you stop Kal?" Sedna asked, clearly she hadn't looked up yet.

Scipio, his new Kotemon partner, had, the yellow glowing dots that served as his eyes were squinted and his head was titled back. "What are those things above us? Are they invading?"

Sedna looked up now and frowned, "I hope not."

"They are just balloons. I think someone is having a parade."

"You got that right bub!"

Hopping down from one of the buildings that was still standing, Dracmon grabbed a bent lampost and hung from it, pointing the camera at them.

"Dr. Quinn says back in her home there was a big holiday and parade around this time. So she figured it would be fun to make one of her own."

The Digimon grinned impishly as another confetti bomb exploded over them.

Everyone looked up. Scipio pointed his kendo sword at the Dracmon, stepping not so subtly in front of Kaldur and Sedna. The pair didn't seem to notice or if they did they didn't mention it. Mostly because Scipio would probably take offense to it.

Recognition dawned on Kaldur's face. "Right...I suppose it is that time of year. Thanksgiving already." Time had certainly flown and it was coming full circle for him, he had left his world during New Years which meant that hear it was getting close to that time as well. Of course, he'd arrived HERE in August, so it wasn't like a full year had passed or anything of the sort. Honestly, Kaldur tried to avoid thinking of time in any case because his head started to hurt.

He was distracted by the sudden explosion of confetti. Scipio actually jumped and cried out, but Sedna nudged him forward with her nose, "Don't be such a baby Skippy. It's confetti," Sedna looked up at Dracmon, "She put all this together? That's pretty amazing considering what's been going down the past few days."

"That's Dr. Quinzel for ya!" Dracmon purred and hefted herself over to the pole and sliding down to the ground.

"When she sets her mind to something? It gets done!"

Kaldur now recalled seeing a post requesting items of a seemingly random nature. So this is what had been going on there. Kaldur looked from the Dracmon to his two partners.

"Well, it sounds like you two have never seen a parade like this before. Would you like to see more?"

His partners had not had the opportunity to have much fun as of late. Between the Virus sweeping the city and Titamon's attack, he was certain Sedna had not had a moment of peace. He was still trying to figure Scipio out, being new and all, but even he deserved a moment of enjoyment out of all of this.

"Sure, why not." Sedna replied and nudged Scipio who seemed to be hesitating.

"But what about..."

"It can wait until after the parade, Scipio." Kaldur put his hand on the kendo stick, lowering it for Kotemon. The small kendo-themed dragon sighed but complied.

"That's the ticket!" Judy gave a two fingered salute and a nod.

"Have fun! Make some noise! The city may be dented but we're still here!"

Scurrying after the parade with camera in claw Judy cackled and resumed filming the precession of partygoers.

Kaldur returns the salute with a smile. He looks forward to seeing what this parade has to offer. Scipio seems a little hesitant, but he's the new guy and he doesn't feel like he has the right to say anything just yet.

"Hey," Sedna chirps, getting both boys' attention, "They're throwing candy."

And sure enough some attractive Palmon and Floramon were throwing some gently battered candy, likely fished from the ruins of the candy shop.

One Palmon kisses a sucker and throws it to Kaldur with flirtatious eyes.

Kaldur catches it without thinking about it. Scipio looks impressed that he was able to do that. Meanwhile, Sedna eyes the plant-digimon warily.

"Looks like someone likes you," Sedna mutters.

Kaldur offers the sucker to Scipio, "They're throwing candy to everyone, relax Sedna."

What a wonderful day for a parade!
