It didn't take long for Butch and Theos to reach Butch's home and Dan was already waiting with a pillow on his back. "I've been waiting here for a while, my brothers teased me when I said I was having a sleepover." Dan said smiling at them, "Did they? What about?" Butch asked as he walked passed him heading for the flight of steps that lead to his basement. "They think I've grown overly fond of you two, saying that we've become to dependent on one another and that it was cute. They're right though, I have grown dependent on you guys. Is that so wrong?" Dan asked. Butch shrugged, "It's hard for me to imagine my future without you two so I don't think so." Butch opened the door to his basement and stepped inside, flicking on the light. "Here we are." Butch said walking inside and heading to a small couch. The outside betrayed the interior, though it was only the basement so the rest of the house was probably just as old and dangerous looking. The room was really big, much bigger then Dan or Theos' residence. It had just one other room which was the bathroom, it was probably the same size as Theos' home, the tub filled most of that room though. The floor was blue carpet and spread from corner to corner. The small couch Butch was sitting on sat across from a small TV. The couch sat three people coincidentally. The walls were painted a smooth white and they were bare except for one hanging scroll, it was old but it had digimon alphabet characters written on it, it read "Friends are power, Fight for all." It was slightly torn and had a few singe marks. It was likely a remnant of Butch's home village. Underneath it was to the boys, probably the biggest bed ever made. It would fit all three, three times over. Which given their current evolution level, was no surprise. It was made entirely from cotton which made it soft to the touch. The rest of the very large space was empty except from a corner next to the couch and TV. It had a small stove and a fridge and a table in front with a single chair.
It also had a sink, which was filled with dirty dishes. The single lighting fixture was a hanging chandelier, which had decorative clear crystals. It was to high up and out of reach for digimon of their size to reach. Dan's mouth dropped open as his eyes lit up at the inside. "This is......I don't even know! Are you a prince Butch!?" Dan asked running through out the large room laughing like a small child. Butch chuckled at his friends remark, "I'm no prince, I just made enough money to buy some of this stuff over the years. One day, maybe I'll actually do the whole home and move upstairs, from what W.A.D.A. told me, this used to be a Bai Hu nobleman's home." Butch laid across the couch and smiled. "So, make yourselves at home. My home, is your home. So, what do you wanna do first? If you need to use the bath, it's through that door next to the bed." Butch said pointing the the open door bath. Dan giggled as he ran into the room and jumped into the massive empty tub, "It's so biiiiiiiig! My brothers and I would never leave this bath! You're so lucky!" Dan exclaimed. "I do hope I cleaned up enough." Butch said his tail waving slowly back and forth as he relaxed.

Theos shook his head as Dan mentioned his brothers teasing him again. "Nothing wrong with it. We have survived this long because of it and we are all the happier for it too." Theos said smiling.
He followed Butch inside and was instantly amazed. One could guess when one only had one to buy for one they could put back a lot of money. It was amazing to say the least though he had to wonder if he ever felt lonely having such big furniture and no one to share it with. Maybe he was planning ahead for his family he'd have some day.
Theos laughed at Dans amazement. He too was equally amazed however and walked around his tail wagging. "We'd probably still be amazed even if you didn't. You have a beautiful home." Theos said smiling.
"We should all take a bath together. After all you worked so hard to clean up it wouldn't right to track dirt everywhere," Theos grinned and went into the bathroom. He looked into the tub where Dan stood. "It is really big isn't it."

Dan nodded to Theos when he approached, Butch turned a slight bit red at Theos proposal he had never done that before with anyone. "U-um...o-okay...." Butch jumped off the couch and met his friends in the bathroom walking over to the faucet and turning it on. Dan walked over to the faucet pouring water and put his head underneath it humming happily. The tub filled rather fast and was soon filled enough that Butch turned it off. Dan was letting the warm water soak in through his shell and he let out a sigh that resulted in bubbles since his mouth was underwater. Butch watched his friends in the bath and began to remove his armor. He had never removed it before, even when they swam in the oasis. He was a weapon digimon, and was always ready for battle at any given notice so in the wild he always kept it on in case he had to defend himself, but he was safe here in his home. He removed all the pieces he wore, and placed them in the counter of his sink. His face was flush as it was very difficult for him to be so open with others. Once he was ready, he approached the tub, stepping up on the ledge. Dan poked his head up, "Wow you look different when you aren't wearing your sword and armor." Dan said, "D-Do I?" Butch slowly settled down into the water. "Yea, that visor covers most of your face so it makes you seem tougher then you actually look." Dan got a devilish grin, "Now you look defenseless....I bet you're ticklish to." Dan began to move towards Butch. "Dan, don't get any bright ideas....let's just get clean okay?" Butch said. "To late!" Dan leaped onto Butch and began to tickle him which was surprisingly effective. Butch flailed around laughing and tearing from the eyes, "St-Stop...Dan! P-Please! STOP!" Butch bonked Dan on the head who fell into the water. Butch crossed his arms and looked away even redder then before. Dan slowly rose from the water with a slight bump on his head but he was smiling, "I'm glad we were able to peel away all your walls." He said. Butch looked at him, "You shouldn't wear that armor so much. You actually have a very pretty coat of white fur." Dan said smiling.
"D-Don't compliment me so much...." Butch said sinking into the water blowing bubbles. "It's true it's true! Right captain?" Dan said excitedly.

Theos lowered himseld into the water once it reach halfway. He sunk down til he looked like a crocodile in the water. He blew bubbles out his nose in laughter as he watched Dan's reaction. Theos began laughing as Dan tickled Butch. It was so much fun being here with them. He ducked under the water while their attention was on one another. "You shouldn't wear that armor so much. You actually have a very pretty coat of white fur." Dan said smiling.
It was muffled but Theos couldn't help but to agree as he swam over.
"D-Don't compliment me so much...." Butch said sinking into the water blowing bubbles. "It's true it's true! Right captain?" Dan said excitedly.
Theos grinned as he suddenly tickled Dan's toes then popped up. "It is very pretty. And also very soft I bet. Unlike my strange clay like fur.....if it is fur," Theos said looking up in wonder. He honestly had no idea himself. "And your shell is so durable and shiny," Theos said complimenting Dan as well.

Dan laughed and laughed as Theos tickled his feet and then turned and jumped onto Theos back, having his paws hang over him. "Your fur is smooth and still comfortable. I like it." Dan said to Theos, Butch looked at his friends, "Then...I guess I won't wear my armor so much...at least not in the home." Butch said. He never thought about his coat, it was always just there. Much like Theos, with his own but if his friends liked it, that was good enough for him. Butch moved over to his friends and hugged them. "Mmm...yup definitely still soft clay fur, and definitely a durable shell." Butch said. "I hope this night lasts forever!" Dan said embracing Theos and Butch. Butch laughed, "Well, we should probably actually bathe....I mean we're in here for that purpose...I didn't take my clothes off to just soak ya know." Butch said. Dan escaped his friends embrace by retreating under the water and popping up on the other side grabbing hold of the rag and soap. "Who's first then?" Dan said eyeing them both. Butch looked on at Dan and gave a half smile pointing to Theos, "He's captain after all." Butch said. "Theos it is then!" Dan laughed. They stayed in the bath for quite some time, having fun and Dan was even a bit naughty, but eventually it came to a close and Butch was the last one out draining the tub.
Dan was back to running around the loft as happy as happy could be, and Butch walked out of the bath, taking his armor and putting it off to the side. He walked around his fur still a bit puffy, but with a shake it settled down. "Okay, that was fun what should we do next? Watch some TV? Talk? Sleep?" Butch asked walking over to the cotton bed and jumping on to it. Dan came to a halt and spoke up, "I know I know! My brothers always talk about the person they like! Why don't we do that!?" Dan said. "Person we like? Like.....like?" Butch questioned. "Yea! Don't you two have a special someone in mind! We've been in this town long enough." Dan said eyeing his friends fiendishly. Butch looked away, "I dunno. Never really thought about it." Butch said. "Oh? You've been here longer so I thought you might." Dan said. "What about you Dan?" Butch asked. Dan laughed, "I don't know anyone besides you two. I usually work, stay home, or play with you guys. I'm just trying to spark conversation." Dan said. Butch shook his head.

"Your fur is smooth and still comfortable. I like it." Theos smiled and blushed a bit.
"I hope this night lasts forever!" Butch and Theos both laughed in agreement, "Well, we should probably actually bathe....I mean we're in here for that purpose...I didn't take my clothes off to just soak ya know." Dan disappeared making Theos watch him swim away. "Who's first then?" Theos was half tempted to point to butch, "He's captain after all." Butch said. "Theos it is then!" Dan laughed. Theos giggled as Dan came over and started scrubbing. They took turns washing one another. Then eventually broke out into play splashing one another. And finally they got out and dried off.
Theos smiled at Butchs fluffy fur it was cute. "Okay, that was fun what should we do next? Watch some TV? Talk? Sleep?" Butch asked walking over to the cotton bed and jumping on to it. Dan came to a halt and spoke up, "I know I know! My brothers always talk about the person they like! Why don't we do that!?" Dan said. "Person we like? Like.....like?" Butch questioned. "Yea! Don't you two have a special someone in mind! We've been in this town long enough." Theos looked to his hooves thoughtfully but didn't really know. He spent all his time with them. And he to say he like them.... the way Dan was implying though....that would be a hard choice. Not that it wasn't out of the cards in his mind, "I dunno. Never really thought about it." Butch said. "Oh? You've been here longer so I thought you might." Dan said. "What about you Dan?" Butch asked. Dan laughed, "I don't know anyone besides you two. I usually work, stay home, or play with you guys. I'm just trying to spark conversation." Dan said.
"Well I for one like you both," Theos said smiling. He wasn't sure if that was an acceptable answer but right now he didn't care. Because it was true. "Without the two of you I dunno what my life would be like." Theos said and hopped onto the bed as well. he patted the spot next to him for Dan to join them. "What about our dreams then?" Theos asked. "I for one came down here to learn. And I've learned a lot more than I ever thought possible just by staying in one place."

Dan jumped onto the bed and crawled in between them, he liked the different feels of their fur. It was like having two different pillows at the same time, he honestly couldn't get enough of it. Butch laid on his side so he could look at his two friends, "Well I for one like you both," Theos said smiling. Butch smiled at that, he had to admit he liked both of them to, the way Dan had meant it though...Butch turned a slight red at the thought and coughed, "What about our dreams then?" Theos asked. "I for one came down here to learn. And I've learned a lot more than I ever thought possible just by staying in one place." Dan picked his head up from his furry paradise and pondered the thought, "My dreams? Hmm." Dan looked like he was hurting himself thinking so hard. Butch raised his head and rested it on the palm of his paw, "I have one dream. I didn't know what it was until this month." Butch said suddenly the mood of the room became serious. Dan looked at him, "I want to run away from Bai Hu, with the two of you...and join W.A.D.A." Butch said. Dan looked surprised by Butch's confidence, "Knowing you two has been the single greatest joy of my short life and I never ever want to lose either one of you. Our mining spot is running out of ore and soon, we will be back to working hard and struggling. I don't want that life for us anymore. If we can join W.A.D.A., we can live together and help a good cause. I spent the last few days dwelling on Max's stories and they really resonated with me. Also, I think it will bring honor to my fallen friends..." Butch said his face saddening a bit. Dan put his head back down to think on it, "I've never left Bai Hu...or the side of my brothers but since meeting you two...I've grown closer to you then them. It must be the bond of working together. I often have dreams of us playing in a field of flowers and never growing tired. Which is funny, cause I've never actually seen a field of flowers. In all seriousness, you both mean the world to me. I would run away to W.A.D.A. with you guys in a heartbeat" Dan said, he rubbed his head against their furs and closed his eyes.
Butch's gaze softened at the youngest of the three, and smiled. "I don't expect you three to join me of course. I don't want to stand in the way of your futures." Butch said. "Stupid." Dan said and cracked open an eyelid, "I just said my future is with you two." Dan closed it again. Butch laid his head back down on the bed and let out a sigh and pet Dan's head. "What about your family?" Butch asked. "They'll always be here. Safe. It's you two I'm more worried about." Dan replied. "What about your dream Theos?" Butch asked.

To run away with them to W.A.D.A. it sounded like heaven really. They could join the same guild. Adventure together and protect others. Make even more friends. It would be a dream come true but his thoughts returned to hear. To his grandpa who had encouraged him to go but he had stayed.....so that an old man could live happily. He didn't regret it one bit but it made it harder on him at this very moment. He was sure they could see the torn expression on his face.
"I want to. It is the perfect dream. I don't want to leave grandpa though. If I do he will be alone in that house and when they come knocking on the door they may make him work the mines in my place. He couldn't survive that," Theos said. It broke his heart to say no. He wanted it so bad and he knew his grandpa would give his blessing. Life was made to be hard though wasn't it....and so it decisions could make or break his life.
"My dream is to learn and to help protect this world. A noble goal and I'm probably not the only one out there. I've grown a lot in this past month. So I do know this much I want to be by your sides no matter what. So I say let's do it....but we need to also ask them for help. For my grandpa's sake," Theos said smiling a bit sadly.

Butch nodded at Theos resolve, "W.A.D.A. would definitely protect Jared. No way they wouldn't, and if they can't we will. Once we're agents, Bai Hu's laws don't apply to us anymore." Butch said Dan kept his eyes closed, slowly drifting into sleep. He enjoyed it when he was being pampered. Butch raised his hand high into the air and clenched it, "We're so close to it. Let's ask Max tomorrow. Then we can do everything in our power to protect those we want, and those we need." Dan opened his eye, "Protect each other...to." He wearily said. Butch laughed and continued to stroke Dan's head, "I'm in my birthday suit about to go to sleep with two of my best friends. One of which is nuzzled against by breast mind you, I don't think I need to express how much I'd protect you guys." Butch stopped stroking Dan's head and placed his hand at his side. Dan let out a weak laugh, "I'm nuzzled against both of you." Butch smiled and looked at his ceiling as he reached for the dimmer next to his bed. "Friends isn't really the word I would use anymore though....family doesn't seem strong enough either...but I guess it's close." Butch whispered to himself. The light dimmed out and then they laid there in the darkness. Dan had exhausted all of his energy so he was out fairly quickly. Butch thought there laying in the dark for a while. He didn't know if Theos had fallen asleep yet but he was thinking softly to himself allowed, "I can tell them my true name.....if that is the case. The very last wall..." He said closing his eyes and eventually drifting to sleep.

"W.A.D.A. would definitely protect Jared. No way they wouldn't, and if they can't we will. Once we're agents, Bai Hu's laws don't apply to us anymore." Theos kind of doubted that. Maybe to a degree but not completely, "We're so close to it. Let's ask Max tomorrow. Then we can do everything in our power to protect those we want, and those we need." Dan opened his eye, "Protect each other...to." Theos agreed. They could protect one another no matter what, "I'm in my birthday suit about to go to sleep with two of my best friends. One of which is nuzzled against by breast mind you, I don't think I need to express how much I'd protect you guys." Theos chuckled and wrapped himself around Dan so his head was close to Butchs, "I'm nuzzled against both of you." Butch smiled and looked at his ceiling as he reached for the dimmer next to his bed. "Friends isn't really the word I would use anymore though....family doesn't seem strong enough either...but I guess it's close." Family was definitely the best way to describe them, "I can tell them my true name.....if that is the case. The very last wall..." Theos was already dozing when he said that so the meaning was a bit lost on him. Though he definitely heard it.
As he woke the next morning. The words he heard were lost to him. He stretched slightly and looked about. He couldn't tell what time it was but his internal clock said time to get up. He rolled out of bed and stretched not yet looking around to see if the others were up. He licked his mane a bit and started for the stairs to check and see if it was getting light out yet. He looked out at the grey sky it was indeed time to get up. He walked back down stairs to wake them should they still be asleep.
"Morning," Theos said his tail wagging.

When Theos came back down, Dan had come out of the restroom. "Morning." He said, working so much his internal clock also woke him. "Guess it's time huh?" Dan said he walked over to Theos and turned to look up at Butch was was still sleeping. Dan jumped back up and shook Butch, "Hey. Hey, come on it's time to go." Dan said, Butch simply turned it his sleep. Dan then got a devilish gleam in his eye, "Fine then. I guess we will have to use more drastic measures." He leaped down and walked over to the kitchen, grabbing a random cup and filling it with water. He walked back over and threw it onto Butch who jumped up with shock, "WHA!?" He said looking around reaching for a sword he didn't have equipped. He then understood what had happened, "Are you crazy!? Do you want to give me a heart attack!? Geez Dan, sometimes you can be so brainless." Butch said looking at his soaking white fur. Dan made a funny face in response to his scolding. Butch jumped up and grabbed a towel drying himself quickly before putting back on his armor. "Aw, bye bye white fur." Dan said running outside, "Come on fellas, Max and W.A.D.A. await!" He said running ahead. Butch was still a little upset as he fixed his sword to his side. "Now it looks like I wet the bed....I'm gonna have to clean the sheets....I hate laundry." Butch walked up to Theos and smiled at him. "Lead the way Captain." Butch said, he'd follow alongside Theos to a new work day.

Theos watched Dan try to wake Butch. The little Armadimon getting no where,"Fine then. I guess we will have to use more drastic measures." Drastic was right. Theos found it a bit cruel but couldn't deny the laugh he got from Butchs reaction. He stifled it a bit as Butch got up unamused and started getting ready. "Aw, bye bye white fur." Dan said running outside, "Come on fellas, Max and W.A.D.A. await!" Theos smiled and walked a few steps before stopping to wait for Butch. "Now it looks like I wet the bed....I'm gonna have to clean the sheets....I hate laundry." He chuckled at Butchs remark. "Lead the way Captain." Butch said, he'd follow alongside Theos to a new work day.
Theos walked outside and broke into a run to catch up with Dan who had stopped to wait on them. He tagged him slightly with his hoof and pranced ahead with a wagging tail. Playing a bit of tag as they walked, hopped, and ran to work.
