Finding Strength Within | Digimon Savers/Data Squad |

Tohru let out a grunt as she struggled in her sad attempts to get into the spandex bodysuit she was given. She began to mentally curse whoever had thought making this the official DATS uniform as she finally pulled the suit up past her hips. Getting the rest of it on was much easier and the brunette soon pulled on the short sleeved jacket that all DATS members had to wear over the bodysuit. She clipped on a white belt around her waist and tried to suck in her stomach a bit so it wouldn't seem so tight on her, but she couldn't hold it like that for too long. After pulling on her white knee-high boots, she stood up and peered into the fullbody mirror attached to the wall.

Her eyebrows furrowed in disapproval, her emerald hues scanning her reflection up and down. "I look horrible in this..." Tohru mumbled to herself and Terriermon was quick to protest against this claim.

"No you don't Tohru! If you looked horrible, I would have told you so!" The stuffed animal looking Digimon reassured his human partner, hopping up onto her head and laying on his stomach. His long and floppy ears hung down the sides of her head. Tohru rolled her eyes at his failed attempt to convince her that she didn't look so terrible in this very uncomfortable, tight fitting uniform.

"Thanks Terriermon, at least I know you'll always be honest with me." Tohru droned sarcastically as a small chuckle rumbled from her throat and a tiny grin tugged at her lips. For a few more moments, the brunette found herself studying her reflection in the mirror. Her uniform was similar in appearance to Yoshino's, it went down to her mid thigh instead of being an entirely fullbodied suit like Masaru's. She sported the same short jacket to wear over her upper area and a white belt around her waist along with the same knee high boots. The only real difference between the two female uniforms was the color. Tohru's was green and Yoshino's was magenta, matching her hair and eye color.

Breathing out a heavy sigh of defeat, her shoulders drooped as Tohru replaced Terriermon on top of her head with her gray beanie and held him in her arms to her chest. She exited the changing room and reluctantly walked into the main surveillance area. The moment she stepped through the automatic double doors, the familiar sound of her childhood friend's angry complaints echoed off the metal walls. From what she could tell, he was pissed off because his target, a PetiteMeramon, was able to get away from him.

Masaru sulked in the corner, sitting backwards in a swivel chair across the room from Yoshino who was starting to regret letting him try to secure a Digimon on his own. "I kind of figured it was too early to let you do it on your own..." The magenta haired girl sighed with a shrug of her shoulders. A silent turtle-like Digimon called Kamemon went around with a tray holding tea cups and a pot of piping hot tea. He offered some to Yoshino, who graciously accepted the offer. Kamemon turned and walked over to Tohru, offering her some tea but she smiled and shook her head.

Floating near Yoshino's head was what Tohru presumed to be the older girl's partner, a pink and green flower bud looking creature. It had two black hollow dots for eyes and a constantly open oval shaped mouth and stubby little limbs. A small yellow root was sprouting out the top of its head. Tohru thought the little flower bud was cute.

"Um...good morning Yoshino, Masaru." Tohru greeted her comrades as she approached the sulking teenager. The moment he heard his childhood friend's voice Masaru's head perked up and a wide grin formed on his lips. The taller boy stood up, bringing Tohru into a semi-headlock and giving her a noogie.

"Jeez, shorty! You don't have to be so timid!" Masaru's laugh was light and carefree as he ruffled her head. Tohru had gone red in the face and her body tensed up from the sudden contact. The auburn haired boy released her from under his arm and affectionately pet her head. Yoshino had been observing this little scene before her, thinking it strange at first that Masaru's mood would change so suddenly. Though she recalled how his forest green eyes had lit up the moment his close friend walked into the room. It became clear to her then and a tiny hint of a smile tugged at her lips.
