“Ahhh!” exclaimed Takato as a snowball slammed into his face, right between his goggle-covered eyes.

“Got you, Takatomon!” yelled Guilmon happily.

How does he make and throw these anyway!? thought Takato. His hands are just claws!

It was actually rather amazing that that was Takato’s main concern at the moment. The past few days had been weird. Even weirder than normal. Several days ago, the mansion had, for some reason, thought it was Valentine’s Day. Rather, Valentine’s Days. There had been two. Guilmon had actually been hit, and oddly enough, had become totally infatuated with a TV. Takato guessed that because Guilmon was made of data, electronics counted as something (someone, maybe?) to fall in love with. Go figure.

It was good, too, because it distracted Takato from thinking of his own crush. He remembered Kazu once calling Valentine’s “Singles Awareness Day.” For Takato, that ended up leading to not only thoughts of Jeri, but all his other friends that weren’t there. He had noticed lots of people that appeared to know each other showing up, even if, from what he had heard, some of them wanted to kill each other. That had got him hoping that another Tamer would show, but so far there was no one.

However, to the gogglehead’s horror, Jeri hadn’t been the only girl on his mind. Another girl, or rather, another woman, went through his head occasionally too. Ever since his little “mistake” with the rooms, Takato hadn’t been able to face his neighbor, Fred. After all… how do you talk to someone after running into their room, jumping into their bed (with them IN IT), screaming, and running out? It was all very confusing.

After that, it had oddly become Christmas. Guilmon had been very excited to find snow around the copy of his shed in Takato’s room. Takato, on the other hand, just thought it was cold. It had been quite a relief to find that his closet had suddenly provided him with clothes for the situation. Once he was changed, the pair had gone outside in the snow and made snowmen (Guilmon insisted they were, in fact, snowmon) and had several snowball fights.

And so far, today was the about the same. For that, Takato was grateful. It was a nice distraction from all his worries, out here having fun with Guilmon.

Even if he cheats by digging under the snow AND the ground all the time… thought the boy as went to throw a snowball, only to find Guilmon had done just that. Takato stood ready to strike, surveying his surroundings carefully, when, suddenly…

“GOT YOU, TAKATOMON!”

A crimson colored dinosaur burst from the snow to his right, tackling him to the ground. Takato let out a yelp in surprise before they both fell to the ground, laughing. It had been a while since they had had this much fun. But suddenly, Guilmon stopped laughing, and looked up from where he was laying on top of his Tamer with an inquisitive look.

“Takatomon, someone’s here,” said Guilmon.

Takato tried to look, but because Guilmon was still on top of him, he ended up tilting his head in a way that would have been looking to the sky, had he been standing. As it were, everything just looked upside down instead.

“Um…hey there.”

“Ahhhhh… what time is it?” yawned Takato as he got out of his bed. Unable to find a clock (the room had, for some reason, provided him with everything he could need but that), he instead grabbed his D-Arc and checked it.

“Wow, it’s evening already… hey Guilmon, ready for dinner?”

The dinosaur, who was asleep in an exact replica of the shed he used to stay at in Shinjuku Park, awoke instantly.

“YAY DINNER!” he yelled, running over to the door and waiting for Takato to come open it, unable to do so himself due to his claws.

“Haha, I thought you’d say that, boy,” laughed Takato as he approached the door. As he walked, he glanced around at his room. It still amazed him… it was an almost exact replica of his room back at his parents’ bakery. Only it was larger, and there was a copy of Guilmon’s shed in one corner. It even had grass around it and you had to walk up about four steps to get to it. It was as if someone had literally torn it from the park and put it in his room, which had been similarly torn from his home.

That wasn’t the only thing that amazed him, either. The whole mansion was fascinating. The day before, he and Guilmon had just sort of wandered around for a while (and, curiously, ran into absolutely no one). The place was HUGE. They had done the same thing today, this time over-hearing some things about new arrivals. He had made a mental note to go find some of them, or anyone really, but had come back to his room for a nap first. And now it was time for dinner.

“Come ON, Takatomon!”

And Guilmon was hungry.

“Alright alright, let’s go,” said Takato as he opened the door.

Legolas knew that the other two could handle the rest of the new arrivals. He wanted to get the boy out of there, the boy and the beast. He smiled over at them, his hand moved to encompass the mansion. "Shall I show you around then?" He moved in between the staircases, circling the fountain. He kept his ears peeled for anything going on behind him, knowing that it was rare for someone to turn their back upon a could be enemy. He just couldn't stand all the anger, hurt, pain, rejection, all those bad feelings any longer.

It was tolling on him.

Already with just the small distance between him and such dark thoughts, he felt his energy coming back to him. Life seemed to glow around him, a faint light of hope. He turned his head, looking back at Acheron and Kakashi. He was worried for the two, but he knew if any could handle the other two boys then they could. He was sure of it. Glad of it as well. If he had been left here alone to deal with the three, he would have surely fell ill.

His eyes trailed back to Takato. "I shall show you the lower level first, then as we go up, I will show you to your room, yes? You did get your key and map did you not?" He looked at the boy's hands for a moment, wondering if he had. There had been so much going on Legolas wasn't sure if any of them had actually gotten their items.

He led the boy first to the kitchen, all growing teens needed their food. He assumed that Takato and his scaled friend would be spending a lot of their time here. Legolas smiled as he opened the doors for the two of them. "Here is where you will find food, it appears as needed. Are you hungry? We can eat if you wish, I have all day and all night to entertain you, unless something goes wrong of course." Which he hoped it wouldn't. He had long thought that his days of war were over.
