Silver: (she and the rest of you look at me with angry eyes)

(Sweatdrops) I know why you guys are angry with me…it's because this story's 2 days late…

Silver: Humph! (Turns away from me, arms folded) you were supposed to post it Tuesday (starts crying) …for our anniversary…

(Kneels apologetically) I know, Silver; and I'm really sorry…but school kept me busy and-

Silver: (angrily) School always keeps you busy!

(Hesitates) Anyway…in this one-shot, we celebrate our first year anniversary as partner and tamer; and this story's dedicated to all of you who've been with us since that day…it might be on the short side, but I hope you enjoy- (notices Silver has left the room) Hey, Silver; wait up! (Chases after her)

6. (Happy Anniversary, Silver!)

A gentle breeze was blowing through the trees as I made my way down the empty sidewalks. The leaves had changed colors and they were now falling to the ground. A sure sign that fall had arrived once again.

'Hmm…I wonder why Silver didn't pick me up as usual…' I thought to myself.

Today seemed like a special day, and it wasn't because classes had started up again at school (of course, school's never that special anyway…). A smile then graced my lips as it suddenly dawned on me: today was the first anniversary of when Silver and I first became partners. 'She must have a special night planned for the two of us…'

ooo Silver's POV ooo

Little did Lisa know; I was indeed planning something special for her…

I smiled. "There…I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be…" I finished setting up her gift just as Lisa's mother came into the room.

"Well, I'm off now; and if Lisa asks where I am, just tell her I've been called in to work, alright?" she winked at me. I nodded. (She and I had already discussed Lisa's surprise beforehand and she so she was going out with Lisa's step dad for the night).

"Alright; and thanks again for all the help, Anna."

"Oh, it's no trouble at all, Silver. Have fun, now." She said before stepping out of the room.

ooo Normal POV ooo

A little while later, I came walking in through the front door. "Man…what a day…" I thought aloud, placing my backpack in its usual place in a corner of the room. At that moment, two furry paws come up from behind and covered my eyes.

"Guess who?"

I laughed to myself. "Silver…"

She whirled me around playfully. "You know you're getting too good at that…" she smirked. I held her close as we kissed each other deeply. After we broke it, we sat down on the bed and I handed Silver her gift.

"Here, Silv. Happy Anniversary." She grinned at me as she took the box. "Lisa…you didn't have to-."

I cut her off. "Nonsense…it is a special day, after all; I hope you like it." She smiled as she undid the red ribbon and opened the lid of the box, gasping happily as she saw what was inside. It was a gorgeous kimono made from ruby red silk and had beautiful cherry blossom leaves all around it. The straps of the kimono were silver to match her fur.

"Lisa this is amazing! How did you know?" I chuckled to myself.

"I figured you would like it after we went window shopping in Foxwood Village a couple of weeks back." She embraced me lovingly.

"Thank you so much!" I blushed softly. "It was no trouble at all. I was saving for a special occasion, anyway."

"I've gotta try this on." She then phased into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

I smiled. "I didn't know she'd like it that much…" after a few minutes of waiting, Silver finally came out in her new kimono; and just as I thought, it fit her perfectly. She twirled around, showing it off.

"Well, how do I look?" she grinned. I smirked at her.

"Beautiful as always, Silver." She blushed a bit, smiling at me.

"Of course…I didn't forget your gift, Lisa. It's waiting in the digital world." She walked out the door and I followed close behind, locking the door behind me.

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

ooo Silver's POV ooo

Once we were in the woods behind Lisa's house, I checked to see if there was anyone else around. After I sensed there was no one, I then closed my eyes as a familiar aura of light surrounded me. The light then shot out into a clearing and the portal to the digital world was formed in front of us.

Lisa smiled at me as we took each other's hands and walked through it. We reappeared in our secret place; (The part with the cherry blossom trees). She looked around. "Um…Silver; I don't notice anything different…"

I smirked. "Oh, don't worry, Lisa. You'll know it when you see it…" While she was distracted, I conjured a few items, including her stereo; I placed it in the gazebo while she had her back turned. It already had a CD inside, so all I had to do was press play.

As soon as I did, a familiar love song began to play; well, it would be familiar to Lisa, since she listens to slow songs all the time, anyway…at that moment, she turned around and gasped. In the little time I had, I managed to decorate the entire area and set up a special dinner for us. She looked around. "Silver…how did you do all this???"

I gave her a warm embrace. "Oh, it was nothing really; it was just a little something I whipped up for you." She smirked at me, raising an eyebrow. I chuckled softly, knowing what that meant.

"Actually, it was a trick I learned from Lady Sakuyamon…fortunately; I was able to learn it just in time for tonight."

She laughed. "You never cease to amaze me, you know that…" I smiled as we sat down to enjoy our meal.

-

It was nighttime when we finished our meal, so we look at the stars for a while. The gentle sound of the Digi-gnomes playing amongst the cherry blossoms added to the romantic mood.

"It's almost hard to believe we've been together for a year now, Lisa…" I mused, playfully wrapping my tail around her waist.

She nodded. "Yeah…especially considering all we've been though together…" she looked up at me. "Of course there have been some good times, too."

"Of course, every moment I spend with you is enjoyable." I kissed her gently on the forehead as she blushed lightly.

"I can say the same for you, Silv." She replied, returning the kiss. Suddenly, the CD switched to another love song, this time it was familiar to the both of us. Lisa then got up and took my paw.

"Would you care to dance?" I smirked.

"Since when can you dance, anyway?" She only twirled me around, stopping me at just the right point. "Let's just say that this was something that I was learning just in time for tonight…" she winked playfully at me. I smiled back, taking her by the hands as we began to dance slowly to the music.

(A/N: Damn it…I forgot to mention that I don't own the song All My Life by KC & Jojo)

I Will Never Find Another Lover
Sweeter Than You
Sweeter Than You
And I Will Never Find Another Lover
More Precious Than You
More Precious Than You
Girl You Are…
Close To Me You're Like My Mother,
Close To Me You're Like My Father,
Close To Me You're Like My Sister,
Close To Me You're Like My Brother
And You Are The Only One My Everything
And For You This Song I Sing...

All My Life
I Prayed For Someone Like You
And I Thank God
That I…That I Finally Found You
All My Life
I Prayed For Someone Like You
And I Hope That You Feel The Same Way Too
Yes, I Pray That You Do Love Me Too

I smiled to myself. 'Who knew Lisa was this romantic…' I thought to myself as she twirled me around once again, then dipped me and brought me back up as soon as the next verse began, picking up the tempo in perfect sync to the music.

Said I Promise To Never Fall In Love With A Stranger
You're All I'm Thinking Of
I Praise The Lord Above
For Sending Me Your Love
I Cherish Every Hug
I Really Love You

All My Life (Ohhhh…Baby, Baby)
I Prayed For Someone Like You
And I Thank God
That I...That I Finally Found You
All My Life
I Prayed For Someone Like You
And I Hope That You Feel The Same Way Too
Yes, I Pray That You Do Love Me Too

As we continued to dance, the digi-gnomes flew around us, their lights twinkling in the night sky. I closed my eyes and listened to the lyrics, memories of when I first met Lisa and all that we had been though came back to me at that very moment.

You're All That I Ever Know,
When You Smile All My Face Always Seems To Glow,
You Turned My Life Around,
You Picked Me Up When I Was Down,
You're All That I've Ever Known,
When You Smile My Face Glows
You Picked Me Up When I Was Down
Say...You're All That I've Ever Known
When You Smile My Face Glows
You Picked Me Up When I Was Down
And I Hope That You
Feel The Same Way Too
Yes, I Pray That You Do Love Me Too

I then caressed Lisa gently and placed my head behind hers as we continued to sway to the music, my eyes closed out of enjoyment. I could tell she was smiling back at me as the song went into the final chorus.

All My Life
I Prayed For Someone Like You
And I Thank God
That I...That I Finally Found You
All My Life
I Prayed For Someone Like You
Yes, I Pray That You Do Love Me Too

As the song finally came to a close, she slowly dipped me one last time and brought me back up, giving me a loving kiss on the lips. I returned the kiss, murring deeply. "Thank you…not just for tonight, but for everything." I said, after we broke the kiss.

She smiled at me lovingly. "Hey, I should be the one thanking you…I don't know what I'd ever do without you in my life, Silver…"

I returned the smile. "I can say the same thing about you, Lisa." We embraced each other once again; and we stayed in that position as shooting stars traveled across the sky.

THE END

Meanwhile…

(Finally finds Silver sitting outside her house in a tree) C'mon Silver, don't be this way…you know I didn't mean for the story to be late…

Silver: (she turns away from me) I don't know why you did that…and on our anniversary no less…

(Smiles) well, at least it's finished now…and if you come down, I'll have something to show you back inside…

Silver: (at that, she leaps down from the tree and follows Renaki back to her house) alright…
