Title: His Eyes
Author: Kimiko Mizu
"Palmon!! I'm home!" shouted 13 year old Lily Akiyama as she walked into her three story white house in West Shinjuku. "LILY!!" shouted Palmon, swinging down from the ceiling and jumping onto her tamer.
"Hey, come on! Knock it off!" Lily laughed. "At least let me take my jacket off!" "Alright!" exclaimed a very perky Palmon. "What did you have in your coffee this morning?" asked Lily, sliding off her jacket and hanging it on the back of a chair.
"I didn't have coffee this morning!" cried Palmon. "I had water with eighteen cubes of sugar! That's all!"
"Oy......" replied Lily, falling over.
"But here!" said Palmon seriously, holding out a magazine article. "Look!!" Lily blinked curiously and took the article from her digimon's hand. "What is it...?"
"A CONTEST!!!! FOR SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Palmon at the top of her digi-lungs.
"Oh...my....GOD! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Palmon knew better than anybody how much Lily wanted to be a singer. "Yea! You have to be within the ages of 13 and 18, so you're perfect!!"
"OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" Lily grabbed and hugged her best friend. "THANKS, PALMON! YOU'RE THE GREATEST!"
"No need for thanks! Just pay me back with food!" exclaimed the plant-like digimon. Lily laughed. "Wait'll I tell Ryo and the others about this!"
"Hey, wait!" cried Palmon. "I think you're gonna end up telling Henry first." "WHAT? Excuse me, but did you just mention the name of the 'O-Evil-One' in front of me?"
"You're baby-sitting his sister tonight, remember!" exclaimed Palmon.
"Oh yeah." x.x
"Dang....why can't he baby-sit his own sister?!" Lily jumped onto her living room couch. "I thought you liked Susie," said Palmon. "You were so ticked off when Henry looked like he was going to slap her when we were back in the Digital World."
"I DO like her, but I don't understand why His Evilness can't watch her himself." "Maybe he's got a date or something....." replied Palmon, happily munching on a cookie.
"HAH!" scoffed Lily, sitting up. "Then that is one very UNLUCKY girl! Maybe I ought to give her a forewarning before she leaves with him...." "Well, if you really think he's THAT bad Lily, I'll go with you."
"Thanks, Palmon. I think I may need you, not just because of him. But because of how hyper Susie gets." "No problem-o!" winked Palmon.

DING-DONG!!
Lily rang the doorbell of the Wong Household. In her backpack slung over her shoulder, the "flower" petals on Palmon's head stuck out.
Henry's mother opened the door and poked her head out. "Yes?"
"Hi, Mrs. Wong, I'm Lily, the baby-sitter you arranged for Susie." Lily held out her hand.
"Oh, yes!" Mrs. Wong shook hands. "You're early, but please, come in."
"Thank you," replied Lily as she stepped in, glancing around at the house. "Your house is so nice," she added.
"That's because I recently cleaned. Sooner or later my kids will mess it all up again. Lily was giggling as Susie suddenly came from nowhere and jumped on her.
"WILY!" she cried. [Lily] "YOU'RE HERE!" "Whoa!! Calm down, Susie!" Lily exclaimed, setting the hyper girl down. "Give me some room to breathe."
Janyu [SP?] suddenly ran into the room, grabbing a jacket and putting it on. "Honey, we have to go! We'll be late for the dinner!"
"Oh my! You're right!" exclaimed Mrs. Wong, grabbing her own coat. "Henry! We're leaving now!" she called.
"Oh, great..." thought Lily sarcastically. "The spawn of Satan ISN'T going out? I'm stuck here with him and his hyperactive sister? Man, I'm SOO glad tomorrow is Saturday. I'm gonna need a long nap after tonight."
Mrs. Wong kissed Susie good-bye and Janyu told Lily how late they would be, and they left the building.
Susie spent most of the night goofing around with Palmon, as Lopmon sat on the couch, Lily on the other end. Lily held a small notebook in her hands, and wearing a pair of blue tinted sunglasses which she propped up on her head sometimes.
"What are you writing?" asked Lopmon curiously, moving over to take a peek. "Well, see, I'm trying to enter this music contest, and I'm trying to think up a song to perform. It's gotta be really...special. Something that'll blow them away." said Lily.
"How about your mother's cooking?" asked Palmon as a joke. "Every recipe of hers goes wrong!" "Hey!" exclaimed Lily, throwing a pillow at Palmon's head. Susie tossed another pillow back, and soon it became the first pillow fight between tamers and digimon.
Their fun continued with an ice cream food fight, and then a game of Monopoly. Lopmon fell asleep after the ice cream, and Susie and Palmon got bored with Monopoly. So Lily sat again on the couch after tucking Susie into bed.
Just when she thought the night was going pretty good, the O-EVILE-One had to appear from his room.
Henry blinked as he saw Lily on his living room couch. "What are YOU doing here?"
"I'm Susie's baby-sitter for tonight. Got a problem with it?"
"Yes," he thought. "No, of course not," he said. Lily looked at him for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. "What is so funny?!" Henry exclaimed.
"LOOK WHAT YOU'RE WEARING!! HAHA!!" Lily leaned back in laughter. Henry looked himself over and blushed a deep crimson.
"DAMMIT! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" he shouted, running back into his room and putting on a bathrobe.
"I though you knew!!" exclaimed Lily, calming herself down. "I'M NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO WALK OUT IN FRONT OF YOU IN MY BOXERS!!" yelled Henry, walking back out.
"Alright already! I'm sorry! Besides, I didn't notice it at first!" replied Lily. Henry sat down on the other end of the couch. "So....what are you doing?" he asked, peeking over to look at what she held in her hands.
Lily scoffed. "That's funny, you've never had an interest in asking what I do before. Why the sudden change of heart, O-Evil-Overlord?" "Hey, I'm just trying to be nice, okay? You're the only one here and awake." replied Henry.
"If you MUST know, I'm entering a music contest and I need to think of a song to perform." stated Lily somewhat coldly.
"Oh. That's....interesting..." said Henry, blinking a bit. "You like to sing?"
"Of COURSE I like to sing! I did it most of the time with Palmon when we were in the Digital World, remember, dummy!?" She 'thwapped' him on back of his head.
"Ow! Yeah, I knew that! But I didn't think you do it in front of people or anything....geez...."
"Well.....now you know." she replied, putting away her notebook.
Henry opened his mouth as if he were about to ask her something, but just then, his parents walked in.
"Lily?" asked Mrs. Wong, flipping on a light. "Ah, there you are! Henry? I see you finally left your room. Is Susie in bed?"
"Yes, ma'am," replied Lily, discreetly snatching Palmon, who was on the floor and shoving the digimon into her backpack. "Out like a light."
"Well, thank you, Janyu and I needed this night off," replied Mrs. Wong, pulling out some money from her purse. "Here you go, this is your payment for tonight."
"But I didn't request a payment."
"Nonsense! Here, take it." insisted Mrs. Wong, pressing $7.50 into Lily's palm. "I believe you've earned it."
"Well....alright..." Lily reluctantly putting the money in her pocket. Janyu snuck over to Henry and whispered loudly enough for his wife and Lily to hear, "Getting on the good side with the lady, eh son?"
A chorus of "DAD!" "JANYU!" and the slam of a door resounded at the same time, and everyone's head turned to see that Lily had left in a huff of anger.
"What happened?" asked Janyu, clueless.
Henry scoffed and returned to his room. Mrs. Wong hung up her coat and shut the door to her room.
"What? Was it something I said?" asked Janyu aloud.
In his room, Henry laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.
"Another opportunity lost..." he thought before falling asleep.
