[Lopmon appears on the screen, a mix of concern and frustration on his face as he glances around quickly before turning his attention to the screen.]

S-so...I'm...only supposed to be monitoring the D-Terminal for if anything happens that we should know about. And I'm only supposed to make calls if it's an emergency, but... [He hesitates, glancing around again.] Well...I think it's important, anyway.

See...Fluttershy's been really upset lately. Ever since she and Beastboy... [He pauses, a look of anger passing over his face as he exhales shortly. Then he shakes himself out of it.] Anyway, ever since then, she's just been...sad. She won't leave our room except to go to work, and she'll only smile around the younger Digimon. And even they know something's wrong with her, 'cuz they ask her about it.

She keeps saying she's fine, but I know she's not...And...I-I don't know what to do. [He hates to admit that, because he was her partner. It was his goal - his purpose - to help her, and the fact that he couldn't was hard for him.

But this was about Fluttershy, not about him. And if this would help, than he'd gladly swallow his pride and do this.]

Uh...Twilight, Rarity...if you're seeing this...I-I know we haven't...really met yet, but...You guys are friends from Fluttershy's world, right? Maybe you two can help her?

Or just...anyone really...Please? Fluttershy...could really use some cheering up...

[He pauses for a moment, seeming to think over something.]

She's still working at the elementary school. She gets off at 2.

[With that parting statement, the feed cuts out.]

[A very concerned Terra. Very concerned.] I got him locked up, in his room. Beastboy, I mean. I... I think it was something... ...Doesn't matter.

Has she found someone to talk to, Choco?

Well, yeah...but I still think she could use all the cheering up she could get.

Then tell me when she gets home. I'll be right over.

[He hesitates at that.] Yeah...okay...Just as long as you can catch her before she gets back to the apartment...

I'll wait outside.

Okay...Thanks Terra.

[Just as she'd promised, Terra's waiting outside, the apartments for Fluttershy, to cut her off before she goes inside.]

[She pauses curiously as she nears the building, seeing Terra standing there.]

Terra...? Is...everything okay?

C'mon. [She walks up to Fluttershy.] You must be hungry after a long day at work.

U-uh...w-well, I'm...okay really...

[On the ground beside her, Choco shakes his head, as if denying that was true.]

[She smiles.] Just for a bit. I know a nice little cafe.

W-Well...[She hesitates for a moment.] A...A-all right...

[She takes them to a shop close to the apartments, an open-air place, with pastries.

She gets a muffin for her.] Want anything?

[She thinks for a moment, looking over the menu.]

Maybe just a drink...

What do you want? Got paid yesterday, so my treat.

O-oh, you don't...you don't have to do that...

Don't be silly. I...I want to. [A gentle, gentle smile.]

[She blushes, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear...] U-um...o...o-okay...If...if you're sure...

[After she orders their snacks -- that come impeccably fast, by the way -- Terra picks at her muffin and...] Hey, um. The other day, I heard those things. That Beastboy said.

[She winces a little, her eyes focused on her food.] R-really...?

Hey. [She reaches a hand across the table, but doesn't grab her; Fluttershy's a very jumpy one, after all.] You know he didn't mean any of that, right? And even if he did, none of it's even true.

...I-I know...I...I-I had a feeling...something was wrong...

But it still got to you. [Not a question.]

...W-well...y-yes, but...th-that's not really...the problem...

Then...what is the problem?
