[i][color=orchid]"Hello. My name is Katsuo. My friend's name is Captain. Do any of you own the baskets along the beach?"[/color][/i]

The kid was Japanese, but speaking English. Evidently he thought Tadashi was from America or something. Thankfully, Tadashi's parents had been making him take English lessons. They weren't exactly his favorite thing in the world but he had to admit they would be paying off big time now, [b]"Don't worry, I'm from Japan too. I'm Tadashi, and the blue lizard over there is Yuki."[/b] he replied in English, jerking a thumb over in the Digimon's direction to indicate who he was referring to.

[color=lightblue][b]"I can speak English too! ...Mostly."[/b][/color] said Yuki. He wasn't quite as fluent as Tadashi, but maybe this situation would be the perfect chance to practice more, [color=lightblue][b]"Guess I'd better practicing more."[/b][/color]

[b]"Not a bad idea, Yuki."[/b] said Tadashi with a thumbs-up approval, [b]"In fact, let's make a challenge out of it. From here on, we're only allowed to speak English, got it?"[/b]

[color=lightblue][b]"Sounds fun, you're on!"[/b][/color]

[b]"Anyway,"[/b] Tadashi returned his focus to the kid in front of him, [b]"We have no idea who these baskets belong to."[/b] One by one, others spoke up. It sounded like nobody knew what the deal was with those baskets. And it also quickly became apparent that Tadashi wasn't the only one with a monster buddy.

[b]"Hold on, let me guess... you all had that weird dream about an egg that became real, too?"[/b]
