[When the feed comes on, Hawkmon's face is extremely close to the screen. There's...Is that music in the background. The bird Digimon sits back a little bit and holds a feather to his beak with a wink.

Things shift around, the scene of the bedroom Hawkmon shares with Marley passing by rather dizzily until what could only be the living room comes into view. The music, now easily made out to be just one person singing, can be heard clearly, and when the D-Terminal finally focuses on a single point...

That's Marley...dancing and singing on the couch.]

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it like oh my God
Jump off that sofa, [It's here that she actually jumps off the couch and continues to dance.] let's get, get off!

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out and losing all contr-- HAWKMON!

[Uh oh! He's been spotted! Rushed, the D-Terminal is shut off right as Marley comes running up.]

I...Thank you, Ed.

[Yup, all the bright red.]

I wish Hawkmon hadn't recorded that, though. I'm so embarrassed...

Yeah, but if he hadn't then nobody would know how cool you are!

Do you do stuff like that a lot?

...I'm not cool. [The many slushies to the face back home were testament to that.] And...yeah, at home I was in a show choir. The New Directions. We sang and danced in competitions.

...so you were part of a professional singing and dancing group?

I dunno, that sounds pretty cool to me.

Oh, it's not professional. It's a club at school. Glee club. We compete against other schools. Last year, before I transferred to McKinley, they won Nationals. We've actually been practicing for Regionals.

Oh! I was in a club back when I was in school, too. [Of course that particular club was a lot different than the normal school fare, but...] Still though, if your club won the national championships you're definitely really cool.

The club was popular for a while after winning Nationals, but...to be honest, we're kind of on the bottom rung of the social ladder at school. We get beat out by the marching band and drama club.

[She shrugs.]

I don't mind it so much. I've...never been popular, so it doesn't change anything for me.

Ahh...

I've never really been all that popular either so I guess I know how that goes, but I'll bet your friends in the club are all really close at least.

Yeah, we are...

[Though her passing out at sectionals made things a bit rough for a while.]

I wouldn't trade them for the world.

I'm the same way with all of my friends, too. They're the most important things on earth to me.

I understand that. I love my friends. Even Kitty isn't so bad, even if she is a bit brash.

Kitty?

What's she like?

Well...she's a Cheerio. Uh--One of the cheerleaders. She's also in the glee club with me. She um...can be a bit possessive and can say mean things, but I don't think she means half of it...

Most people who say mean stuff don't, somewhere inside them.

Somewhere inside everyone is a person who just wants to be understood and to make friends. You just have to be able to see it.

Yeah, that's what I think, too. I mean, she's helped me out a bit, so I can't really hold it against her that much...

Yeah, I get what you mean. A lot of my friends are like that, too.

Oh? [You have her attention.] What were your friends like back home?

Well... probably my best friend right now is this girl I know, Cass. We were kinda' stuck in an alternate dimension together for three years and she taught me a bunch of stuff about how to draw magic out of the environment and harness it...

She's also kind of a jerk a lot of the time, but I'm pretty sure that's because she's just not used to dealing with people.

Wow...that sounds quite a lot like Kitty, actually. I mean, without the magic and dimensions and all that.

Seriously?

...I guess there's people like that in every universe.

I guess so!

[She smiles and shrugs.]

Just means that all these place aren't so different after all.
