"Dude. Tristan's been absent for three days!" I exclaimed, kinda surprised. I mean I knew he would be, but that's just plain madness!'
"Seems he's been watching over the pet all that time." Tea said.
"Miho's pet is a shoe-in for the championship!" Miho told us, smiling.
I chuckled. And got up from my seat. The three of us walked over to Yugi and Joey.
"How cute! It's eating!" Miho exclaimed when she saw Yugi feeding his Digi-pet.
"I call him Yu-2." Yugi said.
"Yu-2?" Tea asked. "Mine is pretty good too." She took out her red one showing a plum like pet with a bow. I nodded and took mine out.
"Me three." I showed them Rion.
"Tea and Naru's are cute too!" Miho told us.
"I call her Sumomo."
"Mine is Rion." I said. "She's awesome."
"Wait a moment!" Joey shouted suddenly. We looked over to see him holding out his digi-pet. "Too bad…The championship is goin' to my Joe."
"It's not that cute." Miho deadpanned.
I fought back a laugh. Still… I'll have to be quick if I don't want my digital pet taken away.
"The only resemblance is that they're both cheeky." Tea noted.
"Shut up! Oh,Yugi, Naru. Mind if we do a data exchange?" Joey asked. I blinked. "We can make all three of ours grow.
"O-O-Okay." I mumbled shocked. "Rion is a bit fearful so it'd be cool if she had your guys characteristics."
"Yu-2 is kinda timid so it would be nice to have Joe's wild personality and Rion's kindness." Yugi told us. I fought down a blush.
"Alright then… link up!" Joey shouted and he and Yugi put their digital pet devices together. I watched as Joe kicked Yu-2.
"Joey! How could you!?"
"It isn't my fault!"
"The data exchange is done!" Yugi said and turned to me. "Your turn Naru." I nodded and we stuck our devices together.
I watched in shock as Rion approached Yu-2. Instead of being afraid like always she leaned down and kissed him on the cheek. I turned bright red. Tea glared and everyone else gasped and laughed at me.
"Looks like someone's embarrassed!" Joey shouted. I smacked him on the head.
"Am not ya nimrod!"
"AH! Look!" Yugi exclaimed and we turned back to the pet devices. Yu-2 blushed and hurriedly went back to his screen.
"After this there should be some change in his growth." Yugi said a bit red. Me and Joey hooked ours together only to have Rion run away from Joe.
"Alright! Australia is mine!" Joey shouted.
"He is taking it?" Kujirada asked. I hurriedly stuffed Rion in my pocket.
"Kujirada!" Yugi gasped.
"Quick! Put your pets away!" I whispered to them. They looked at me skeptically.
"Why?"
"Just do it!" They ignored me.
"The contest winner is definitely going to be me." Kujirada said and held up his gold pet.
"Kujirada! Don't get big headed just cause ya got a gold pet!" Joey warned. "There's no way someone like you can raise one!"
"Oh, really?" Kujirada asked. "This is my ultimate pet! He's DevilMaster!" He showed us a fat pet with a star on its stomach.
"He looks like he has a lousy personality." Tea deducted.
"No way, that's yours?" Joey asked. Kujirada laughed.
"If you pay money you can learn plenty of secrets." He told us.
"Money again!" Joey shouted. Kujirada reached down and took Sumomo from Tea. She screamed. And as much as I hated her I couldn't let him eat their pets.
I aimed a kick at his hand, knocking Sumomo out of his grasp but dropped Rion.
"His strength ain't just for show!" He exclaimed and grabbed Rion from the ground.
"No!" I shouted. But it was too late. He already linked the devices together and I watched as Rion got eaten, "R-Rion…"
He laughed. "DevilMaster grows by eating other Digital pets." He took Tea's and linked them up.
Sumomo got eaten. "My Sumomo…"
"Kujirada you bastard!" Joey shouted.
"Shall he eat yours too?"
"Works for me!" Joey shouted, linking his up with Kujirada. "Try it if you can! Beat him up Joe!"
We watched as DevilMaster got on Joe's screen, Joe disappeared and DevilMaster looked for him but got a surprise attack from behind.
"Alright!" Joey exclaimed. I sighed and looked away.
Those idiots, I thought in dismay, I try to save their pets and they ignored me.
Joey began crying anime tears. "JOE!"
Kujirada laughed. "The Australia trip is mine. Don't worry about it."
"How cruel Kujirada!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Yeah! How can you use the pets that others raise to go to Australia!?" Miho shouted angry.
I sweatdropped and Tea voiced my thought.
"Isn't that what you're doing?"
"Kujirada," Yugi continued. "Everyone raised their Digital Pet with care. It's wrong to eat them!"
Kujirada glared at Yugi. "Shut up! In the world, those who have money win! I'll eat yours too!" He reached down to take Yu-2 and I was going to aim another kick at him but,
"Stop!" I looked to see sleep deprived Tristan walk towards us casually.
"T-Tristan!?" Joey exclaimed.
"What is it?" Tea asked. He opened his eyes which looked a little creepy.
"I have raised the Ultimate pet!" He explained.
"Ultimate Pet?" Kujirada asked.
"Three days without sleep or rest…This is the Ultimate creation!" Honda showed us Miho's pet. "Digital Super Ichigo!" A trashbag with hands and legs holding a broom.
"It was raised by Tristan all right." I mumbled a little weirded out by the thing. The five of us laughed nervously.
"Did you think I, a beautification member, didn't know!?" Tristan asked. "This device will teach you!"
Kujirada laughed… again. "What can that pet do?! I will turn him into DevilMaster's food!" Tristan smirked.
"Try it!" He screamed and they linked their pets together. DevilMaster appeared and made to eat him. Miho screamed. I nearly laughed as Super Ichigo began to clean up DevilMaster with his broom, making him vanish.
"What!?" Kujirada exclaimed.
"He… He did it!" Joey shouted, shocked. I smiled.
Leave it to Tristan when someone tries to eat people's pets. I thought. 'But… if we're following the anime then that would be the glasses kid is going to abduct Miho.
"Super Ichigo does not allow trash to exist!" Tristan explained. "When he finds trash he completely destroys it. He's truly the beautification member of the digital world!"
"Damn it!" Kujirada cursed and stormed away. Joey laughed.
"That's what you get!" Then turned to me. I gulped. "How did you know we'd get our pets eaten?"
I sweatdropped and laughed nervously. It's not like I can tell them the truth. Hey guys guess what? You're all anime characters where I come from. Can we still be friends? Yeah I don't think so.
"Uhh… I'm physic?" It came out more of a question than an answer. Yugi noticed my distress and changed the subject.
"Tristan, that was awesome!" He exclaimed.
"Great job!" Miho thanked. I sighed in relief and mouthed a thank you to Yugi. He nodded.
Tea put her hand on the desk. "That truly is like Tristan!"
We heard a clamp of something being dropped and we turned to see glasses kid at his desk looking depressed.
"Haiyama!" Tristan called. "What's wrong?"
"No… nothing." He replied.
