My Furry Valentine

Disclaimer: I don't own or ever will own digimon...

Silver: (looks at the title; sweatdrops) Uh, Lisa...doesn't the title sound a little...corny to you?

I know, but I couldn't resist.

Silver: (smiles) Well, since we've had a great vacation, I'll look the other way.

Okay; now I know this probably seems obvious to you, but if you haven't already read Silver's first 2 stories, we suggest you read and review those before you move on...but for the rest of you...let's get started! (A:N/I know it's not Valentine's Day anymore, but this story was within Silver's series, so I had to move things along!)

Ch.1 (Valentine 's Day?)

It was a sunny February afternoon. There was a cold breeze blowing in the air, a sure sign that winter had not yet passed over.

Silver was out patrolling the area as usual; the day had been unusually quiet, so she decided to take a look around. As she secretly leapt through the city, something caught her attention.

"Hmm...?" she phased onto one of the streetlights nearby to get a better look. It was a department store window display, filled with dozens of red, white and gold roses, presented in beautiful bouquets. It also had white and red hearts along the window's sides. And there was a pink banner that spelled out VALENTINE'S DAY in white letters, right in the middle of the display.

'Valentine's day?' she thought, confused.

She then noticed that some of the people, mostly couples, were acting...strange. Some of them were laughing and holding hands, while the rest were admiring the other Valentine's Day displays, looking at each other with stars in their eyes, blushing all the while; obviously reminiscing about Valentines when they were younger.

"This Valentine's day...it must be a special occasion." Silver said to herself. She jumped off the streetlight and left the area. "Well, I'm certain Lisa has an idea of what's going on. After all, she knows about these types of things." She mused as she landed onto a rooftop.

ooo Change in POV ooo

Meanwhile, at a large community college, I was heading out of my last class for the day. Two of my friends followed me. One had jet black hair, while the other was a brunette they both had brown eyes and they both were sisters.

I grumbled to myself. "Damn; more homework tonight. As if I didn't have enough problems!"

The younger sister, Traci, turned to me. "Well, Lisa; that's what college is all about. More homework and more tests."

Her older sister, Tiffany, let out an exasperated sigh. "Yeah...you know, sometimes I wonder if graduating high school was worth all this." Traci and I looked at each other and smiled.

"So..." Traci quickly changed the subject. "What are you guys gonna do for Valentine's Day this year?"

"Hmm...I really don't know." Tiffany replied. Blushing, she then continued, "but I think my boyfriend's planning a surprise for me...at least that's what he told me."

"Hey; that's great! Mine's taking me out to an Italian restaurant that night."

As the twosome went on and on about their plans, practically leaving me out of their conversation, a sudden thought came into my head. 'Oh, no! I've been so busy with school, I almost forgot!' I panicked. 'I'm gonna have to do something for Silver, too!'

I then looked up to see the vulpine digimon in question sitting on the roof top across from us, smiling down at me. My worries faded away when I saw her. 'Well...at least this year, I have someone special to celebrate Valentine's Day with. Even if it isn't a boy.' I smiled dreamily at her...not even looking where I was going...

"Lisa, watch out!!" Tiffany and Traci shouted, but it was too late. I had slammed right into one of the brick support beams at the end of the walkway. They all winced.

'Ouch...now that's gotta hurt...' Silver thought as the two sisters went over to me.

"Are you okay, Lis?" they said together. I slid off the beam and fell to the ground, a red imprint of the bricks now upon my face.

"Yeah...I'm okay..." I said weakly. They grabbed my arms and helped me back up.

Up above, Silver couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she phased out of my friends' view.

After things had calmed down, we parted ways. As they disappeared, two arms whirled me around, catching me off guard. "Wha-!?" I gasped. I calmed down as I saw Silver in front of me. "Silver, how many times have I told you not to do that?"

She winked at me. "Lisa, you should know me by now...I'm always full of surprises." She said playfully, flashing a toothy smile.

I laughed. "Yeah; I'll try to remember that." I caressed her back as we gently kissed each other.

"Now we'd better head home before your mother sends the Army after us." She joked after we broke the kiss. I nodded, smiling in awe as she digivolved into Kyubimon, let me on her back and then took off.

On our way home, I explained Valentine's Day to Silver. To say the least, she was pretty intrigued by the whole concept.

"So, in other words, this holiday is for couples?" she asked as she rounded the next corner.

"Yeah; it's really special to 'em."

"And they celebrate by..."

I looked at her with stars in my eyes. "Showering each other with love and attention, going out to special places...not to mention, giving special surprise gifts to show their affection..."

Silver halted in front of our house. She turned her head. "Surprise gifts?" she questioned me.

"Oh yeah; surprise gifts are pretty common with Valentine's Day." I replied as I slid off her back. As we walked towards the house, Silver reverted back to her rookie form. She turned to me. "Lisa, do you mind if I ask you one more question?"

I unlocked the door and we went inside. "Sure."

"When exactly is Valentine's Day?"

"It's a week from Thursday, so don't worry; we've still got time." I reassured her. 'Thank God.' I thought to myself as I headed towards my room to start on my homework.

Silver then went into the living room and sat down on the couch, sighing heavily.

We both had the same question on our minds: 'How am I going to come up with a Valentine for her?'
