[Action]

[Hey Garden! Guess what. You get to hear a teenage girl and a giant pink bird arguing today! They're at the cafeteria, and Piyomon's glaring at his partner.]

Why did you sign up for that class!? I'm not some sort of pet!

[Chika sighs, leaning back in her chair.]

Because it's probably a good idea for us. I mean, we kinda fight similar. The only difference is that you're sentient. And probably a lot stronger.

Still! Everyone's going to think I'm some sort of thing you pet!

[... Piyomon, she was pretty sure that everyone thought that.]

Well, it's kinda too late now. You'll just have to suck it up.

[Piyomon huffs, but doesn't say anything else.]

[Uwuh?]

What's wrong?

[scatterflower]

Don't mind him Tobias. Piyomon's just being silly.

[Glare from the bird.]

I'm not being silly!

[corruptedsouls]

If he's upset, it can't be that silly, right?

[He looks to Piyomon.]

What's wrong?

[scatterflower]

I'm not a pet and she's taking a class meant for fighting with pets!

[Chika sighs.]

For the last time, just because we're taking the class doesn't mean that anyone with a brain is going to think you're a pet after you actually open your mouth and talk.

[corruptedsouls]

[Tobias blinks a little, nodding in agreement.]

The classes are named and described for the people in this world, aren't they? So of course it says it's about pets. But you're like Pikachu -- you're Chika's partner, not her pet, right? So while the class still helps you, the "pet" part doesn't apply!

[Pikachu nods her head, making "Chu"s in agreement. If anything, Tobias is her pet.]

[scatterflower]

... I guess?

[Chika sighs, before leaning over and hugging him.]

No guessing. He's completely right! That's what I was trying to tell you!.

[corruptedsouls]

Yeah. Things are really different here, so we just have to figure out stuff ourselves.

[scatterflower]

Still...

[Chika sighs.]

Piyomon. Trust me, we'll be fine! And who knows, maybe we'll learn something really useful and awesome! Right Tobias?

[corruptedsouls]

Right! And if people call you a pet, you can just tell them you're her partner! Then there's no one confused.

[scatterflower]

[Piyomon grins at that.]

Right! And I guess if they keep insisting on it I can just beat them up, right?

[Chika frowned.]

... You spent a lot of time near my brother back in the Digital World, didn't you?

[corruptedsouls]

I don't think you need to beat them up for it.

[scatterflower]

But if they don't listen, then what should I do?

[Chika sighs.]

They'll listen. Right Tobias?

[corruptedsouls]

Yup! Just be firm and polite about it and they'll listen.

[scatterflower]

I guess that's the only thing I can do.

Don't worry, like we're saying, it'll be more than enough.

[weddingcrasher]

[Nena, who heard the whole thing, simply walks on over and starts petting Piyomon on the head.]

[scatterflower]

[Piyomon glares, and Chika can't help but giggle a bit. You're such a troll Roomie.]

Stop that!

[weddingcrasher]

Oh, sorry! I just heard you say "I'm some sort of thing you pet" and so I did! Hee hee!

[scatterflower]

[Piyomon glares up at her. Chika just giggles.]

Come on, being pet isn't really all that bad, is it Piyomon?

Yeah it is! I'm not a pet!

[weddingcrasher]

What's wrong with being a pet?

[scatterflower]

[Well, so much for ever being calm.]

Because I'm sentient! I talk and think and everything!
