[It took a bit of time, but after the physical and mental stress the Field put on Hiccup and his aquatic partner, things for them finally seem to be leveling out somewhat. The job the viking managed to get at the Ice Cream Shoppe has been...well as smooth as a job like that can go. (especially when he's spending part of his time keeping an eye on Arcee and the customers) Ever since Gomamon's last video, the two haven't really talked about their experiences as they went to rescue Taichi, but a difference can be clearly seen between them. Their bond definitely isn't a typical one, but it's strengthening.

Hiccup at least has recovered almost fully from the incident, save for a still healing burn that's still quite visible along the side of his face. It doesn't appear to be causing him much discomfort anymore. One thing is for certain: Hiccup has found himself restless in this city. Compared to Berk, the place is so unfamiliar that even the time he's spent here hasn't completely gotten him used to the advances in technology and the like. Either way, something feels....missing.

With a low grunt, Hiccup rolls his shoulders and tugs on the handle of what appears to be a wooden wagon, fairly crude in its make but artistically crafted, something he must have built himself sometime. The wheels squeak audibly as he pulls it along the sidewalk, and upon further inspection it can be seen that the wagon is lined with a rubber tarp of some sort. There's a soft splashing coming from the inside of the tarp...]

Ahahaa! Now this is what I call a chariot! Ya shoulda' built me this weeks ago Hic, this is great! The ONLY way to travel.

[Gomamon snickers, rolling over onto his back before dunking his head beneath surface of the water-filled wagon, obviously enjoying himself as he rolls around and around in the cool little pool the area forms. Hiccup just rolls his eyes a little, careful to walk slow so all of the water doesn't slosh out of the wagon.]

Well I'm glad you like it, but don't get used to it alright? It's just kindof hot today, and I wanted an excuse to finally build something.

[The seal Digimon pops back up and shakes his head, neatly spraying Hiccup with water before plopping his fins on the edge of the wagon.]

Aww, but ain't this nicer than me just ridin' on your head all the time?...
....Oh speakin' of which! Are ya ever gonna give me a nickname kid? I mean geeze everyone else is doin' it.

Gomamon that has nothing to do with what you were just talking about. ...And maybe? I'm getting used to just calling you Gomamon-

No no, that's lame! Ya gotta think'a somethin' better than that! Somethin' cool. Ya aren't really just gonna call me Gomamon forever, right?

....Weeeell-

Aw come OOON, Hiccup!!

[Wipes water off face in annoyance]The wagon? I don't-

KAMEMON!!!

[Kamemon gulped and turned. He didn't see DOnnie, but he sounded close. Real close.]

Okay, wagon it is! [Climbs into wagon] Don't tell him I'm here! [Takes a deep breath and dives into the water...

Just as a furious-looking Donnie runs over, the other half of his staff in his hand. He stops to catch his breath, and sees Hiccup.]

Hiccup, glad I caught you! Have you seen that little brat Kamemon around? He and I have to... discuss sometihng.

Ahhh...Kamemon?

[Hiccup smiles weakly, exchanging a quick glance with Gomamon. All Donnie has to do is step closer and peek into the wagon to find his partner. It's not really the best hiding spot, but it's working in a pinch....for the moment.]

Nope, nope! Haven't seen hide nor shell'a him! ...Woah what happened to yer stick?

[Glares at his broken staff] While I was working on building some things with the new equipment I bought, Kamemon decided to mess with my staff since he claimed to be bored. And he broke it! When I find him, I'll-!

[Donnie then paused when he noticed the burn along Hiccup's face. He had known that the viking had been though quite a lot during the Digital Field, but this was the first time that he was seeing him since the incident.]

Your injured?

...?

[Hiccup blinks, his expression falling for a split second before softening.]

No. No I- I'm fine, really. I'm a lot better than I was, this was just...you know, the worst from that place.

[Gomamon nods sagely, trailing a claw lazily over the surface of the water in the wagon.]

[Donnie nodded in understanding, he himself had recovered from the incident with the Devimon, but he still has some scars from the fight. Just another few added to the many that he had gained over the course of fifteen years.]

I'm glad that your doing better Hiccup, and if you need anything, I'm here for you.

[Donnie then looked at the wagon. If he got a little closer, he'd probably be able to spot Kamemon, who is trying his best to remain out of the former turtle's line of sight. But instead, Donnie gives Hiccup a curious look.]

Did you build this wagon?

Thanks Donnie. ..And yeah, I did actually. I couldn't volunteer to help rebuild the city, so I needed to get to work on something to keep me busy. Turned out to be a wagon. ...Er, well- a portable pool for Gomamon, technically.

Yeah! Best idea he's ever had as far as I'm concerned.

I can understand that, if I hadn't gotten that re-building job, I'd have gone crazy without being able to build something. You did a really good job on it.

[He looked a little closer... and he could have sworn that he saw something turtle-shaped inside. He lifted an eye-brow and gave Hiccup a sideways glance.]

So... you absolutely sure that you haven't seen Kamemon? Your sure that he isn't hiding somewhere nearby?

...Uuuhhh.

[Ok, the way Donnie said that pretty much gives it away that he feels like something's up. He shouldn't really be hiding Kamemon anyway, since he did break Donnie's staff...]

...Well he...he might be. Maybe you just need to keep looking?

[Ok so that's not totally a lie, right?]

Hmm... Maybe...

[Donnie already knew that his little trouble-making partner was in the wagon. But he also knew that turtles could hold they're breaths for a long time, so the turtle Digimon wasn't coming out anytime soon.]

Weeellll.. I guess I'll just have to keep looking. It was nice seeing you Hiccup, I guess I'll see you later.

[He starts walking away. Once Donnie was a good distance, Kamemon finally re-surfaced.]

Wow, that actually worked. Thanks weird kid, your a lifesaver!

[Hiccup lets out a heavy sigh, rolling his eyes as Donnie walks away. He'll have to apologize later. For now, Gomamon just pokes Kamemon's nose with a claw.]

Just remember ya owe us BIG TIME, got it Kamemon? Also stop callin' him that. Only I can call him that, got it?

[Eye roll] Yeah, yeah. [Jumps out] Man, I can't believ ehe fell for it. I guess he isn't as smart as he claims to be!

Oh, really Kamemon.

[Kamemon gulps, turns, and he sees the purple-banded ninja towering over him.]

Ugh... hi Donnie. Ugh... here's the other half of your sti.... I-I mean staff.

[Donnie takes the piece, and then picks up Kamemon before looking at Hiccup.]

Let me guess, he talked you into hiding him?

Somewhat.

[Hiccup chuckles weakly, rubbing the back of his neck.]

Sorry about that Donnie.

....I don't care if ya got caught, ya still owe us.

What?! I don't owe you any-mph! [Donnie covers the turtle's biog mouth... again.]

It's okay, I understand, Not like I haven't fallen for that before...

[Oh, he had lost count of the many times that he hid Mikey from Raph...]

And don't worry, he'll pay you back. Whether he likes it or not.

[Since he can;t do much of anything else, Kamemon crosses his arms and glares at everyone.]

Well....for what it's worth, I think I can fix your staff, if you'll let me.

[Hiccup holds out a hand in a silent request for the pieces of his broken staff.]

It shouldn't really be that hard at all to repair.

[Donnie stared at his broken staff. As much as he hated to admit it, he wasn't very good at repairing it himself. That was why Splinter often did it, or just made a new one all together.

He made a note to convince Splinter to teach him that when he got home.]

Well... Okay. [He hands Hiccup the broken pieces] Thanks, I owe you big time for this.

It's no problem. I should be able to find something to fix it with back at the apartment- ...I'll bring it home and repair it, and we can meet up and I'll get it back to you later. How's that sound?

That's great! Just message me when it's done and I'll meet you as soon as possible. Now if you'll excuse me... [Glares down at Kamemon] I need to get this little pest back home, where he'll be staying for a week.

A week?! I'm being grounded over a stupid stick?! [Groans]

Anyways, it was nice talking to you Hiccup. I'll catch you later, and thanks again. Bye.

[With that, Donnie turned and started to head for the apartment, with Kamemon complaining the entire way.]
