Soccer Time !!! (Open)

[Somei Yamada]

" C'on Budmon, Soccer Time ! "

Somei jogged down the concrete sidewalk, leaving behind the sounds of honking horns and buzzing junebugs. The feeling that today was going to be exceptionally good had grasped him and hurried him down to Yoyogi Park. Even the earlier prediction of rain wasn't going to keep him from enjoying what little sunlight he had left in the day.

The sound of a dangerously close car passing by him had snapped him from his thoughts. He had come to a stalled walking light could barely contain his energy, instead of stopping it he briskly stepped in the same spot, waiting for the light to turn green. " Come on, come on. " he cried as he rushed traffic onward. He had really wanted to make it to the park before it started raining. Even if he could get just a few minutes of soccer practice in, then that would be good enough for him. Just kicking the ball around had brought him so much joy. The only thing that could possibly rival it was hanging with his buddy.

A moment of waiting and Somei had found himself hurrying down the path again. In the crook of his left arm was his soccer ball and on his right shoulder was his gym bag, his gym bag was mostly for show though. In its dark and empty space was the one being that Somei had grown the closest too and the shortest amount of time. " So, cantcha slow down just a bit ? " a small voice cried from within the gymbag. " We're almost there buddy. Just hold on a bit more. " he assured him as he adjusted the sac on his shoulder and re-doubled his pace to the park.

It took a round curve and few more minutes of jogging for Somei to finally reach the large field, where he usually practice when not capable of practicing at the school. With a sigh he placed his gymbag on the ground and watched Budmon's dark eyes and small spikes poke out the top of it. Somei looked over towards the bag as he busily played with the soccer ball on the grass. " Come on out, you wanna play right ? " Budmon wasted no time in hopping out of the gymbag and onto the grassy floor of the park, Somei could tell that more than anything he had enjoyed the presence of greenery.

Somei looked around him cautiously before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his D-Touch. " You wanna digivolve to Tanemon ? " A slight smile came onto his face as he held the D-Touch towards Budmon and it begin to glow a dim green color.

"It takes an idiot to do cool things!"

"That's why it's cool!."

It was a nice day over the fields of Yoyogi park as Crowley walked across the lush, grassy field. The was a powerful breeze and the sky overheard was slightly moody, but he preferred it like this. It felt nice and cool just how he liked it. Drake, who was sitting atop of his head was less than pleased, however. "Blue, this stinks... Why're we outside on such a gloomy day?" the little Ketomon grumbled. "Hey, it cant kill us to take a walk around. Besides, it might not even rain..." Crowley fibbed. It was most definitely going to rain by the looks of it, but keeping Drake upset wasn't going to help.

After a slight distance, Crowley felt repeated impacts on his head, as Drake bounced up and down excitedly. "Hey, hey, Blue! Look! A digi-thing's digivolving!" Drake cried out excitedly. Crowley quickly turned in the direction Drake was indicating to and watched with interest as a small plant-like digimon digivolved into a slightly larger plant-like digimon. "Yeah, look at that..." Crowley mumbled, slightly jealous; he still hadn't quite figured out how to digivolve Ketomon. "C'mon, Blue! Go say hi! Maybe he can tell you how to do it!" announced Drake excitedly. Crowley had to admit, he was a little for the idea. He did want Drake to digivolve further... "Yeah, why not" Crowley responded, making his way over to the other younger looking guy.

"Hey there!" Crowley called out as he approached. "That's a pretty neat digmon you have there. I was wonder--" he began but was cut off when Ketomon bounded off his head with a gleeful yell and hopped its way over the the duo. "Hey! Hey! How'd you digivolve?! How'd ya do it?! I wanna digivolve too! C'mon tell me!" it said quickly, bouncing up and down. Crowley quickly followed after it. "Gah, dang it Drake learn some manners would 'ya?" he said, frowning. "Sorry about that, the name's Crowley and this is Drake. It's nice to meet you"

Mood: Relaxed.
Digimon Mood: Excited.

The sequence had begun with Budmon's affirming nod. The dim green light had brightened the area shortly before Tanemon had now been in the spot where Budmon once was. " I didivovled ! I didivolved ! " he celebrated in a scruffy, child-like voice. Somei couldn't help but smile, he was always so hyper after digivolving into Tanemon, it was like a shift in personality. With a wide grin Somei did footwork with the soccer ball, backing up into the field and without motion or sound invited Tanemon to join him.

The round digimon's stem and twin-leafed petal wiggled slightly as he dashed off with speed that would have made anyone think that he would have a burn on his bum. Fortunately, with his years in soccer, Somei was capable of countering the digimon's speed. " Come'on you have to do better than that Tanemon ! " He swayed the left, moving the soccer ball with him gracefully and allowing the digimon to pass by harmlessly. " Gimme ! " Tanemon cried as he readied himself for another charge.

It was then that a youthful voice spoke out to them. Somei and Tanemon both halted their fun and looked towards them. Somei had his foot on the soccer ball and Tanemon made his way on the other side of his partner. " Hmm.. You think ? I do too, Tanemon is pretty awesome. " he agreed with a wide grin and closed eyes. Tanemon, in a way brought himself forward and smiled too. Somei took a few steps backwards as a small horned ball of cheerfulness approached him, all the while he brought the soccer ball with him. " W-Well I'm not sure myself. Its more of a feeling then a type of knowledge. " he explained to the two. The boy smiled as his soccer uniform begin to fill up at the belly and then the steam and plant of Tanemon popped out the top of his shirt. " I'm Somei Yamada and he's Tanemon. And we're Digi-desssss - " he had begun before catching his own blunder. Somei smile nervously as a even more nervous laughter accompanied his bandage phrase. " Digi-peopleee I meant. "

"It takes an idiot to do cool things!"

"That's why it's cool!."

" W-Well I'm not sure myself. Its more of a feeling then a type of knowledge. " answered the boy to Ketomon.

Drake looked down at the ground frustrated and gave a little grumble. "Well... Thanks..." he responded sadly before bouncing off slowly back to Crowley. Crowley watched as the usually energized digimon hopped back to him with much less energy. He looked back up at the boy. "Knowledge, huh?" he repeated. He pulled out his d-touch. Ketomon looked up with a surprised expression. "Alright, Drake... Let's see if this works..." he muttered, after which a bright purple glow began to emanate from his D-Touch. This purple glow soon surrounded Ketomon as well, causing his entire form to become luminescent. In a few seconds, a swirl of digital pixels left its form and a returned back into it, only leaving a bigger form. In a blink, the light had faded out and rolling before them was Drake in his new form, Hopmon.

"Yes! Yes!" the little digimon cried, bouncing around happily. This form allowed for much higher bounces than his previous form and he fluttered his little fin-like arms with glee. Crowley grinned at the newly evolved digimon "Well look at that! You're one step closer to being cool!" he said. "Yeah, I-- waaaaait a minute!" said the Hopmon, playfully tackling Crowley in the stomach. With a laugh, Crowley looked back up at the boy. "Thanks, man. That was pretty helpful. Somei, huh? Good to meet 'ya! I'm a... Digi-person too, heh" Crowley responded. He glanced down at the soccer ball under the boy's foot. "Hey, you play?" he asked him, nodding at the ball. "I'm pretty terrible myself, but why not have a go before the storm comes in?" Crowley suggested. "Yeah! Yeah I wanna play! I wanna see what i can do with HANDS!" Hopmon announced excitedly. "Betcha I can score more than you, Tanemon!" the arrogant little digimon taunted.

Mood: Relaxed.
Digimon Mood: Excited.

Somei and Tanemon looked cluelessly at the two as Crowley pushed his D-pad towards the small-horn digimon. Somei raised his hand over his eyes and Tanemon dropped his leaf steam below his, until the light had faded away. Afterwards a happy, slightly bigger digimon was now hopping around. With a wide grin Somei spoke. " Well look at that, you're a quick learner Crowley. " he complimented.

" Oi, It was no problem really. I didn't do much to be honest with you. " Tanemon, for some odd reason had staid beside Somei, as if curious and yet afraid at the same time. Somei raised his hand to his head and adjusted the side of his band, unobservant of his digimon. " Oh, now I feel silly for trying to hide it. " He followed Crowley's eyes to his soccer ball then back to him. A confident gleam suddenly inhabited Somei's stare. " I'm actually the best on my team. Yea, why not ? "

Tanemon finally came out from behind Somie's leg when Hopmon challenged him. " Oh yea! " he countered, sprinting pass the hopping Hopmon and into the field. Somei smiled lightly as he maneuvered the ball out into the field, his footwork showing only the minimal of skill that he possessed. He cocked his foot back. " Let's play !! " cried Somei as he kicked the ball out towards Tanemon.

(OOC: Holy shit, Somei im REALLY SORRY! School was slamming down pretty hard and I couldn't find much time to hop on for a reply Hope i can make it up to you)

" Well look at that, you're a quick learner Crowley. " said Somei.

Crowley scratched the back of his head and let out a nervous laugh. "Ahaha... Thanks, this is about all im good at though" he responded back. Somei revealed that he was actually the besst player on his team an Crowley arched his eyebrows in acknowledgement. "Whoa, that's pretty cool. Ha! I don't stand much of a chance now, do I?" he responded, grinning.

"Oh yea!" the excited Tanemon responded excitedly, dashing into the field.

Hopmon eagerly jumped after it, determination burning in his eyes. "C'mon Blue! Let's show these guys how it's done!" he yelled out. Crowley laughed as he ran towards the speedy Somei who dribbled the ball with much skill. Crowley attempted a very badly timed tackle, resulting in Somei kicking the ball towards Tanemon. "Draaaake!" Crowley called out in desperation. The little Hopmon ws one step ahead of him, though. The bouncing digimon leapt high into the air. "Hyaaaah!" it cried out, 'headbutting' the ball back down. Crowley stumbled back onto his feet and dashed ahead in attempts to retrieve the ball. He just hoped that Somei wouldn't get to it first!
