Weee let's annoy Katie M. to death by ignoring her pleas to have the medieval fic continued… heh, sorry… friend from school… obsessed friend. Alright, I guess I have been reading to many other stories, I'm borrowing and modifying stories left and right. Here ya go, people… with a nice little name change…

Biggest Dreamer

Kat rolled over and stared at the digital clock on her headboard for a moment. 5:30… on a Sunday morning. If Willis isn't up yet, I'm not getting up… she thought with a smile, rolling back over and sitting up. Images of the day before filled her mind… but for some reason, she thought she could see two 'days before' that were Saturday in her mind. She looked to the foot of her bed, but saw no sign of Imemon… her mind seasoned up, as she looked to her wall… Digimon pictures were plastered all over it… people, Digimon, that she couldn't possibly know the names of… but she did…

In a state of panic, she jumped up, slinging off the sleeping bag she always slept in and ran into the hall and around the corner to the spare bedroom… it was just as cluttered as it had been the week before, the bed still made neatly. No Willis, or his Digimon, or any of his bags… Kat fell to the floor, holding her head silently, shaking it as her mind flooded… "Why do my dreams have to be so damn real…" she cursed quietly, standing back up slowly… She stared back at her room, and the clock still indicating 5:32… Dreams… Maybe he's still there… in my dreams… she thought sleepily, walking slowly back in and collapsing on her bed, almost instantly falling back asleep…

**********

As she opened her eyes again, she sat up and blinked at the clock. 8:50. She shoved her sleeping bag away pulled a sketchbook out from under her bed, snagging a pencil and started drawing… her eyes fell on a sailor moon poster on her wall… She was tempted to do something from that, but she kept looking for now… dozens of CCS and pokémon posters decorated her wall, covering it completely except the window. The only picture of any Digimon was her own picture of Imemon grinning… and an identical one, sitting on her windowsill. "Alright, ya little brat. Get over here and help me choose something to draw." Imemon giggled and nodded to the best of her ability, hopping with a noticeable 'boing' over to Kat's lap.

Quiet footsteps approached the room and stepped up behind Kat, unnoticed to her. He stared carefully over the brunette's shoulder, staring curiously at the sketch of Sakura and Syaoran she was working on. "Not bad.. not bad at all," he said suddenly, shaking Kat from her thoughts.

"Oh… Willis, ohayo- I mean, good morning," she corrected herself from the little Japanese mood she'd been in.

"Ohayo. E… Nani desu-ka?" Willis countered, shocking Kat as he questioned her Japanese tapes sitting in a pile by her bed. ['Morning. Hey.. What's this?]

"Lots of things… Hey, where are the twins?"

"Still asleep… Like I said, that drawing is really good, but I think it needs one little change… can I?" he nodded towards her pencil and she nodded, then gasped as he reached over and took the pencil and her own hand in his. "You see right here? The staff isn't straight enough… but if you go like this," he pulled her hand gently across the picture, creating a nearly perfectly straight line alongside Kat's previous, slightly curved line. "It becomes straight. You have to do it all in one movement."

"Th-thanks… Arigato, Willis-kun," she added with a nervous laugh, still shocked that he knew Japanese yet somehow she felt like she'd always known he could. She shook her head suddenly, looking back at him to see if he had anything else to see. [Thanks, Willis]

"You're obviously very good at this," he smiled , staring straight into Kat's face only inches away, and smirking in amusement as her face turned tint to a deep red slowly. "Now then," he kissed her cheek gently, "It's breakfast time. We'll draw and talk later… Meet you downstairs in a minute or two…"

Kat stared, still in mild shock as Willis walked casually out of her room and down the stairs. Then, it finally struck her, as Imemon tried her best to get her attention, that she was still in her pajamas… a lavender tank top and shorts. The blush on her face grew brighter, if that was at all possible, and she rushed over to close her door and get dressed. As she pulled a tank top over her head, a distant voice called her name… she glanced around nervously…

And sat up, glancing around and seeing her room, Digimon posters and all. She sighed, getting up to get dressed and head downstairs.

*********

"Katie, you're awfully quiet this morning…" Kat set her head down on the table stubbornly as she heard her 'mom' (Really her grandmother, long story, ask if you actually care to know why I consider my grandparents my parents.) use - yet again - the name she hadn't gone by for about a year. There were only four people she let call her that still, and most those people she'd known for years or it was less confusing to go by that around them.

"Yeah, sorry mother but I'm just distracted this morning…" she sneered, shoving another slice of bacon into her mouth and flipping the page on the Sunday comics.

"Well, missy, you better be out of that snappy mood of yours soon after breakfast. You've got a lot of cleaning to do…"

And afterwards I can go back to writing… or sleep. And then I can see Willis and Imemon again… She gulped down the last of her Sunny Delight and set her glass and plate down firmly in the sink, storming up to her room and staring blankly at her computer, ignoring the still-existent mess on her floor that she was to clean. "Reality bites."

With that, she calmly typed the password under the log-in name of 'Lyra Kamiya' for her (ancient '95 version) windows system and set to work on D2G yet again, quietly humming the theme she'd created for it. She locked her eyes on the blank page before her… and then the last thing she knew, was her grandmother yelling in the background about the location of the vacuum, then starting it as she found it.

**********

"You have to clean?! Even with a guest? And I thought my parents were harsh…" Willis scolded with a sigh over the low roar of the vacuum, leaning against the railing as Kat vacuumed the adjacent steps carefully.

"Actually… this is only about half as much as I'd normally have to do, what with my aunt, her family, and my uncle coming next week. They cut it down so I could actually hang out with you between cleaning and the Girl Scout meeting, but once you've been here a good month it'll go back to normal," she responded.

"By the way… what took you so long to get down here to breakfast, huh? It was nearly an hour after I told you to come down."

"I… don't really know. I think I fell back asleep or something. Sorry, I'm like that sometimes…" she said shyly, pausing her ascent of the stairs momentarily.

"Less chat, more work missy," her grandmother scolded, walking past and out the front door.

"Yeah, yeah…" she sighed back. Imemon came hopping down the stairs.

"Hey… I could go get the other vacuum for you, and Willis could help so you'd be done twice as fast," she suggested cheerfully, glancing between her Tamer and new friend.

"I couldn't ask him to do tha-"

"Heck, why not. I'd like to actually go somewhere soon, and if it'd be faster… I'd love to help!" he answered enthusiastically.

"Well… I guess…"

**********

So about half an hour later, Kat found herself in the car on her way to Park Meadows. (a great mall, mostly because there's lots of card and electronics stores, and a Suncoast!) she slowly spaced out as they drove along, however, her mother's voice droning on in the front seat, and was asleep within 5 minutes of their leaving the house.

**********

Kat woke up and stared groggily at the screen. An x and 28 pages worth of spaces filled the screen, as her arm had fallen on the keyboard when she'd gone to sleep. She deleted the contents, then grabbed her CD player and headed out of the room, hearing her mother droning on downstairs about how she 'never got any help around here'. "Well'p," she said to herself, yawning. "Time for a Frappuccino and vacuuming."

Oooo strange enough for you all yet?! The whole situation will soon be explained… my only question is, which world IS real? Review, please! Ja ne to heiwa, ai Lyra-chan!
