Disclaimer- I don't own Digimon or Ken, happy? Okay!

This story is a little depressing but then most stories about Ken are... lol!

Oh and there's no coupling or yaoi or anything in this story. I don't really go for love interests, but maybe that's because I can't write romantic stories, eh? Lol

This is the only story I've written that I've actually finished as well! But I'm only going to post new chapters if I get reviews, because I need to know whether it's a good story or if it's just not working out.

Well I'll shut up now, lol....

Ken's Birthday...

"Ken, hey, happy birthday!" a blue spiky haired boy with glasses cheered as he held a present out to his little brother.

Ken looked at Sam surprised then smiled happily; "Thanks Sam, you didn't haft too..." he gently took the present and sat down, his legs crossed.

"Well, go ahead, open it Kenny-boy," Sam teased kindly.

Ken widened his mouth happily then nodded as he obeyed his brother's command. He slowly unwrapped the present, starting from the edges and working in, until he eventually made his way to the present. His eyes widened as he gazed down at the present....

Sam smiled thankfully as he watched Ken come close to fainting.

"Wow!" Ken cheered as he picked up his toy octopus, "It's soooo great! Thank you Sam!!"

Sam nodded, "I knew you'd love it!"

Ken smiled as he hugged his new toy, "I do! I do!"

He looked over his toy once more then looked up at his brother, he smiled just as he ran over to Sam and threw his arms around him, "Thank you Sam..."

Sam looked straight ahead, his face expressing sheer surprise then he relaxed and smiled as he hugged Ken back...


"Ken!" a voice called.

Ken weakly opened his eyes, he blinked a few types as he tried to adapt to the bright morning sunlight.

He sat up and pushed his shoulders back as he stretched, he looked down from the top of his bunk bed.

Mrs. Ichijouji was standing at the bottom smiling kindly, "Oh good, you're awake. It'll soon be time to get ready for school, you better get up."

"Em, sure, thanks mom," Ken nodded as his mum left the room, gently closing the door after her.

He fell back onto his bed and looked straight up at the plain white ceiling, It was just a simple dream... A memory...

He sighed as he tried to picture his dream/memory again when suddenly a little voice cut in.

"Um, Ken? Don't you have to get up now?" Minomon slowly floated up, hovering beside Ken, rubbing his eyes tiredly, like he had just woken up before Ken.

Ken smiled kindly, "Hey Minomon... Yeah I should, shouldn't I?"

"Then why don't you?" Minomon continued.

Ken sat up and shrugged, "I'm not sure... I just don't feel like getting up today... I guess I'm still just abit tired..." he smiled again.

Minomon raised an eyebrow, (does Minomon actually have eyebrows? Anyways,) "Are you okay Ken? You didn't have another nightmare, did you?" Minomon asked caringly.

"No... No, don't worry Minomon, like I said tired, that's all," he yawned then gently jumped off his bed and landed softly on the ground where he began to get ready for school.

Minomon wasn't quite sure he believed his friend though....
