Looking for two calendar looks…in one calendar

I need to have a calendar widget/plugin/whatever on my WP site, but need for a homepage listing of the next 5 days of events in the calendar, while on the internal calendar page I want the normal calendar view (like what is offered in widgets like Event Calendar). Anyone have any suggestions short of really breaking apart all the code of a widget like Event Calendar? Anyone done this before so I could at least see an example?
Thanks in advance for any help.
