[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!!

Oh, don't worry about it. You couldn't help it, so no harm done!

[She giggles at Gomamon before tilting her head back as if trying to look up at Hawkmon.]

May I have my bag back, Hawkmon?

Of course! Here you go! [The bird Digimon hands over the shopping bag, as he grins excitedly at both Hiccup and Gomamon.]

We actually got you two something! See, there was a scavenger hunt thing, and I got a little bit of money from it, so...here!

[Marley first pulls from the bag a black driving cap. With a smile she reaches up to put the cap on Hiccup's head, tilting it somewhat to the side.]

There! It looks good!

Oh-!

[Hiccup smiles brightly and looks up, trying to look at the hat already on his head before lifting his hands to feel it a bit before looking back at Marley.]

Wow, thank you!

[...Well he and Gomamon had no idea there was anything of the sort going on, they were still in the process of recovering. The gift though is surprising. Gomamon bounces a bit from his spot in the wagon.]

Ya got me somethin' too?

[Giggling excitedly, Marley digs through the bag to pull out another hat, this one a pinstripe fedora. It's smaller than the hat on Hiccup's head, and when Marley places it on Gomamon, it is not at all uncomfortable.]

There! What do you think?

[And so she turns to Hiccup, waiting for approval or disapproval.]

Woow! This is slick! I love it, thanks Marley!

[Hiccup chuckles, nodding to Marley and Hawkmon.]

This is really nice of you both. Thank you.

Well, I...we ended up doing it on our own. We didn't include our roommates when went. I didn't think there were going to be prizes, so we just left and...

[A bright blush took to her cheeks as she twists the handle of the bag in her hands.]

We didn't think it was fair that we got such a big monetary prize, AND something else on top of it, so we've been shopping for our friends.

Well that was really nice all the same. We would have gone too, had we known about it.

[He's sure they would have been healed up enough for a little fun, at the very least.]

Maybe next time there's something like this, Gomamon and I can be on you and Hawkmon's team?

Oh, that'd be good! Especially since Marley's been training and stuff! All of us would make a great team!

[Marley's cheek's manage to turn a brighter shade of red.]

I would like that, actually. So long as you two wear your hats!

[Hiccup snickers, tilting his hat forwards a bit with a smirk.]

Can do. Speaking of training, me and Gomamon really need to work on training a bit ourselves.

Yeah, I haven't even....digivolved yet! How lame is that?

[Gomamon falters a bit, trailing off. He keeps remembering how the Dark Field prevented him from Digivolving to help Hiccup. ...He still feels haunted by that.]

Hey, it's okay. I haven't Digivolved either. But that's the other prize that we got for the scavenger hunt.

[Hawkmon takes to the air for a brief moment before settling down on the edge of the wagon.]

We got...it's a joint Digivolution thing. Hawkmon and the Undertaker's partner can Digivolve together. We haven't tried it yet, though, so I'm not sure how it's suppose to work...

[Marley shifts the weight on her feet some.]

After the fight with the Beemon, I've taken to training with Commander Uzuki. Hand to hand stuff right now, though.

...Really?

[Gomamon tilts his head with a small frown, resting his claws on the edge of the wagon next to Hawkmon's feet.]

Huh....that sounds kinda weird. But I guess that's...kinda cool?

To be honest, I guess you can say Gomamon not having to Digivolve yet is lucky. Means I haven't gotten into any trouble recently....if we completely ignore the uh...Dark Field thing for a moment.

I'm a little worried about it being the Undertaker. He's...not the most conventional person I know, but we were chosen to work together, so...

[With a shrug, she goes back to twisting the handles of her bag.]

We haven't gotten into anything either. We...We were in the convention center. Setting up beds and stuff. Nothing major. [She bites her bottom lip.] Are you guys...doing okay? Do you need anything?

[Hiccup nods, hoping the gesture is reassuring.]

We're fine, thank you. Things are a lot better than they were a week ago, I can tell you that much. I wish I could repay you somehow for helping us.

[Hawkmon waves a wing about in a dismissive manner.]

Marley insisted on helping you guys. I swear, she visited so many people after all that, I'm surprised she kept track of herself.

[Boy, is Marley ever red...]

I just...wanted to help. You don't need or have to repay me. I-I'd do it again and again if it came down to it.

[Hiccup and Gomamon are not at all surprised to hear that, really. From what they know of Marley so far, it sounds like she'd help just about anyone without so much as a second thought.]

Well....if you guys ever need anything, just let us know- alright?

Okay. Thank you. And really, we're not hard to get in touch with, either. If you need anything, just give us a holler! We don't have a job yet, so other than training, I'm free for whatever really.
