What, the baby?

Yeah. Well, you can come too. I need something blue! And borrowed, for that matter.

I'd rather not leave the baby alone right now.

Why something blue and borrowed?

Because that's what brides need, and Daisy's getting married! I guess one of your teammates would count too, if you just wanna sit in the audience. A girl from Corvus is going to come with her baby and you can have a baby party or something!

Isn't Daisy male?

Well, it would be a good thing for the dolls to socialize. Or at least Anchor thought so.

Yes. But he's the mother, so it would be confusing if he was the husband.

Then you should do it! Bring your friends! I'm pretty sure it is good luck!

[...]

But how can a male be the mother?

It surprised me, too. But the feelings were just so maternal, there's nothing else you could call it! Ah, I guess our kid should come, too. It's important that it sees its parents at this special day!

[man, humans. Go figure]

I would think so.

I think so, too!

Oh yeah, I'm Cheer, from Apus. Are you a digimon, too?

[shakes his head]

My name is Akin. You'd say I was an alien.

Whoa, I don't think I've ever met an alien before. I guess this is a real close encounter!

Well, now you have.

Cool! What's it like?

Being an alien?

Yeah. I mean, I don't think I've ever been an alien, so.

Well, it would probably be different depending on what sort of alien. For me, it's... there's some differences in thinking that I can't really explain, but what would be clearest is senses. Sight, hearing, taste, touch... mine are all a lot stronger than human, even when I have to keep most of my skin covered.

*nods, pondering this* So...things are more intense?

More intense, and more detailed -- I can see body heat as well as light, and can taste individual molecules.

Whoa! Do they taste good? Or I guess it would depend on the molecule.

They taste... [shrugs] It's not really good or bad. It's more complicated than that.

But do you like some better than others?

Yes, I do. I like tasting new things, or things that remind me of home.

Then, those ones are better!

Oh! Have you ever had a burger?

I don't think so...
