It's almost like raising a child, they think.

He's playful, goofy, and hardly listens to a word they say. Scolding him is out of the question because neither of them can ever get through it with a straight face thanks to him. But he manages to make a dull day interesting, and he's one of the few people Jyou would risk his life for.

So, along with Piyomon, he's one of the first people allowed into their apartment. It's not much - the first apartment for a young couple rarely ever is - but it's enough for them at the moment, and the Digimon don't seem to mind it. Piyomon's curled up on the little sofa and Gomamon has decided to -

...oh no.

Sora's the first to react to the shattering of the fishbowl. She's already in the kitchen, filling one of their cups with water for poor Rei. By the time she's back to them, Jyou has scooped up their scaly blue pet in his hands, and he has to struggle to keep her from flopping out of them.

"Here," she says, quickly shoving the cup towards him. Together, they manage to get Rei safely into the cool water; Jyou mumbles that he'll pick up a new bowl when he goes out for dinner later as he goes to find a safer spot to put their little pet in.

Sora finds herself wanting to know how Gomamon managed to push the bowl over the edge of the table. There had been enough room on it for them both, after all, so how had he -

...oh, right.

She mentally scolds herself for not being more careful as she goes to get something to clean the glass up with. She can only pray that Jyou will remember to push the bowl further back than she did.
