SLEEPY-BYE-NAPPY TIME

By milesprower06

A/N- I was never one for poetry, but one night, I just got this one in my head and started working it out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Setting: Shinjuku Park, Guilmon's Hut. Shortly after the conclusion of Season 3. The partners have recently returned, and Takato is sitting in the stone hut in Shinjuku Park, with Guilmon, who is leaning against him, sleeping. Told from Takato's POV.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I sit, leaning against a stone wall

Thinking of all the times we've had

I recall everything we've shared; I remember it all

All the times good, and the times bad

I remember our fights against Renamon

And Rika, her fiery Tamer

But she soon stepped away from fighting on and on

So I can't really blame her

I remember when you first Digivolved

Growlmon you became

I didn't think it'd ever get resolved

I never thought you'd be the same

I remember our fights against the Devas twelve

And our journey to the Digital World

None of these memories, I ever want shelved

Except maybe when my anger unfurled

Beelzemon became hungry for power

He took the life of one of our own

We stood helpless outside the Sovereign's tower

Jeri thought she'd forever be alone

I wanted Beelzemon to pay for his crime; to suffer so much

I lost my sense of reason; I had completely lost my touch

I'll never forget what happened to you; what my rage had done

I realized my mistake, and then we became one

My Digivice lay in pieces, yet I still wanted to fight

I was standing there next to you, when we both saw the light

No Digivice to connect us; yet we felt the energy surge

At last, we came together – our first Biomerge

I remember returning home, to fight the D-Reaper's war

To fight to save Jeri trapped inside the core

We never gave up; we never gave in

Though victory was not being found

We kept finding the courage within

Even Beelzemon came around

The battle was won, the D-Reaper gone

At last through the darkness, then came the dawn

And even though you had to leave; one of victory's costs

I knew that you'd be back; without you I'm lost

And now here I sit, against a stone wall

With you by my side, sleeping through it all

I remember you called it 'Sleepy-Bye-Nappy Time'

And a nap with you would be just fine

Guilmon boy, you're the very definition of a dream come true

And right here; right now, it's just me and you
