ZN: Nothing in here is mine. Except the baby digimon. Which really isnt mine either.

The computer woke him up. He stared at it's light blue screen until his eyes focused, and he could make out the writing. He glanced back to his digimon partner, and got out of bed, careful not to wake the sleeping mon. He sat down in front of the computer.

NEW MESSAGE

He clicked enter, mind still foggy from sleep.

He struggled to make sense of the writing, then minimized it, deciding that whatever it was, it could wait until morning. As the program left the screen, he remembered that the computer was off before he went to bed. He blinked. And yawned, moving to shut it off again.

BEEP.

CHIRP CHIRP.

An image appeared on screen, and he froze halfway to the power. It was a digi-egg.

Ken removed his hand to stare in shock as the egg hatched in pixel form on the computer. The creature that emerged was small and cute, with golden-blue eyes. He had seen too many digimon to automatically judge by appearances, however. The screen flashed, and the baby digimon was deposited in his lap. The computer shut down. "Pree?"

Ken moved to pat it awkwardly on the head. It was only a baby. What could it do?

In response it chomped down on his fingers. He almost pulled away, then realized that it wasn't holding hard, but looking up at him.

"Are you hungry?"

"Pree! Pree!"
"Ken?"
He looked back to his bed, where Wormmon was now standing on the ruffled covers.

"What's going on?"
"I recieved an email encrypted with a digi-egg. It's only a baby." Ken replied. He picked up the small digimon and carried it over to Wormmon.

"I'm getting a strange sense of deja-vu.."

Ken smiled. "What should I feed it? Oh, by the way, is it a boy or a girl?"

"She's a girl. She's also a carnivore. I would try lunch meat. What are you going to do with her?"

Ken looked down into her eyes again. "I'll keep her for now. In the morning I'll contact the others and see if they know what to do."

Ken walked quietly into the kitchen, careful not to wake his parents. "Okay, I'll set you down on the counter, and see if I can find some food for you."

"Kri!"

"Ssh. We have to be quiet."

She lowered her eyes, koromon-esque ears drooping slightly.

"It's okay. Here, try some of this." Ken held up a piece of ham.

She sniffed it, and in one bite, it was gone. "Kri?"

"Still hungry? Here."

"kri, pree!"

"Alright, come on, let's go to bed."

He picked up the baby digimon, walking back into his room. A glance at the computer told him everything was fine. "Here you go."

She looked around in curiosity as he set her down.

"Where are you going to sleep?" Wormmon asked her.

Ken got into bed again, pulling up the covers. Her eyes lit up, and she bounced over to his side, and curled up. "Pree.."

Ken smiled. "Goodnight, Wormmon."
"Goodnight Ken."

"Goodnight to you too." He adressed the baby digimon.

She blinked tired eyes, and yawned, nestling down. "Ken."

His eyes widened in surprise. "Did you hear that, Wormmon?"

"She's taken quite a liking to you Ken."

He closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Ken stared at the ceiling for a moment before his eyes closed as well.
