Double Birthday Surprises ch. 2
#17 of Silver the Renamon (stories included: How I Met Silver & Merry Christmas, Silver!)
Ch. 2 (Preparations) ooo Silver's POV ooo When we arrived home, we told Anna everything. She gaped at us in shock. "W-What? Are you two serious?" she stuttered, trying not to faint. We both laughed at her expression, and then joined her on the couch. "It's true mom." Lisa said after we calmed down. "Oh my goodness...this-this is wonderful! How are you two going to celebrate?" she asked smiling. Lisa turned to me. "Silv has something in mind. But she wanted to run it by you first." "What is it?" I cleared my throat. "Actually, I was thinking that maybe Lisa and I could visit Foxwood Village in the digital world." "Foxwood Village? You mean the place where you were born?" "Yes; so I can introduce Lisa to my family. I'm sure they'll want to meet her." She looked at me. "You know, that's a pretty good idea, Silver. To be honest, I've been wondering about the rest of your family." I smirked at her. "Oh, really? And why's that?" I asked, folding my arms. She copied the same look. "'Cause if they're anything like you, things are going to get pretty interesting around here." "What?" I gave her a puzzled look. Anna chuckled to herself. "As if they already aren't..." she winked at Lisa. She laughed to herself. "Can you two please tell me what this is about?" I asked gawking from her to Anna, the look still on my face. "It's nothing, Silver." Anna said, quickly changing the subject. "And I think it's a sweet idea that you want to introduce Lisa to your family; when do you plan on going?" "Well; seeing as I don't have classes tomorrow, I was thinking along the lines of either tomorrow night or early the next morning. What do you think?" Lisa asked, turning to me. I nodded. "I agree with that. And we'll stay until the evening of our birthday; that way, we'll be able to celebrate as a family as well." "That's fine by me, girls. Oh, but Lisa; you may want to run this by your father, just in case he tries to contact you and can't reach you." "Good idea." she replied, getting up from the couch. "C'mon, Silv; we've gotta get ready." she headed towards her bedroom. I smiled. "All right, all right; I'm coming..." I quickly followed suit. Anna smirked to herself, an idea suddenly forming in her head. 'And I'd better make some phone calls...' she thought as she went to her room.
ooo Normal POV ooo The next day, after training, Silver and I went to my father's house in town. "Do you think your father will remember me?" Silver asked as I rang the doorbell. "I have a strong feeling he will, Silv. You're pretty hard to forget..." I added the last line as an afterthought. She looked at me confused as dad opened the door. "Lisa, what a surprise." He smiled warmly at me. "Hey, dad!" I said as we embraced each other. "You remember Silver from the Christmas party?" She bowed to him. "Hello again." she said with a smile. He chuckled to himself. "Of course. And hello to you as well. Come on in, girls." He held the door as we went in. - "Your birthdays are on the same day? That's incredible!" Dad said astonished after we got settled in. "Yeah; isn't it amazing?" I beamed. "It sure is. How are you two going to celebrate?" Then we told dad our list of plans. After getting a full understanding, he nodded smiling. "Well, that sounds like a great idea. You know you two are more than welcome to spend the night here if you want." "Thanks, dad; I just have to get my suitcase from home and-." Silver cut me off. "Ah...there's no need for that." She replied with a grin. She then closed her eyes, waved her paws and conjured my suitcase. "There you are." "Thanks." I said as dad looked at her in surprise. 'I forgot she could do that.' "How-how did she..." we could clearly see the reaction on dad's face. I turned to him. "All Renamon can do that trick!" Silver smiled. We all had a good laugh after that was said. - The day passed by quickly; that evening, Silver and I turned in, full of high expectations for the journey ahead. - ooo Dad's POV ooo Later that night, after Lisa and Silver went to bed, my phone started ringing. "Who could that be?" I picked it up. "Hello? Anna...how are you...?" my face then brightened with excitement. "For Lisa and Silver? Yes, uh-huh...I see...Saturday night at 7:00? Of course...yes, all right, I'll see you then. Good-bye." "Wow...are those two in for a surprise..." I thought with a smile.
