Things you should know before you start reading. Chapter 1- 4 are really bad, but please wade through them, I wrote them along time ago. Trust me, it's worth it. Along that note as well, I'm looking for somebody to rewrite these first four chapter's, so I can continue on with the story and not waste time rewriting them, so if anybody is in kind of a slump in the writing aspects, could you give me a ring?

Thanks, F.t

Dimensional Echoes

Frozen Twins here, your Farthest northern Digi-Tamer, so hope you enjoy the story, here's a background check of it. On the Tamers side their was a four week period after they beat the D-reaper before the digimon where taken back to the digital world. It was then that the 6th movie occurred (at end of the second week, yeah Rika just turned 15). This story starts out with Takato finding the Portal again.
On the Adventures side of things it's 4 years since they beat MyoMyotismon. The ages are so. I have altered them from the series, so don't thrash me too much about that.

So here's the Disclaimer then. I don't own digimon or any of the songs I will put up

through out my story, in which I will specify who's they are and won't take credit. If they are taken directly out of the show, I just won't do anything as its part of the Non-
Digimon Disclaimer.

Betamon: What about us, you own us Right?

Gomamon: Yeah, gonna cut us out of the picture?

Frozen Twin: I already told you guys, No one else can see you, so technically you don't exist.

Betamon: Don't Exist! What do you mean I don't exist? "Beta Slugger" See, I exist.

Frozen Twin: Owww, Dagnab you Betamon, (Holds Shoulder) I'm sorry but I have some teaching to do, do excuse me and enjoy the show.

Chapter 1 Here we go again

"Oh, sweet!" Takato started to walk into the light, but then he stopped, having second thoughts. "You know, I'm sure that Henry and Rika miss Terriermon and Renamon just as much as I miss Guilmon. I really should get them…" He started to get really happy,

"Just think of all the good time we could have! The three of us in the digital world, fighting Digimon in mock battles, just hanging out! We won't need to eat since were digital, and with Yamaki's device we still will be able to contact the real world. Wow, it hasn't even been two weeks and I already miss Guilmon that much! My parents will be mad again, because this time it's like a vacation. I'm sure the monster makers will be able to make another ark," Takato was starting to be doubtful, then reinforced himself mentally, "Of course they can! I have a promise to keep and I won't break it." Takato got out of the hole and started walking to Henry's house. He passed by the part of the park where Guilmon and his friends used to play. He stopped and laughed out loud and then said, "I remember when I tried to get Henry and Rika to play in the water with us. Henry had Judo practice and Rika was, uh, well, Rika. She just walked off. I wonder if she would still do that." He started to get sad again, "Probably, she really hasn't changed like that… Oh well," He continued his way to Henry's house thinking about Rika and how she had changed, and how she hadn't.

Henry's father came in. "You're home early dad." Henry said.

"Well you know, I am the lazy type." His dad replied, smiling like he always does.

"So you guys come up with any new programs yet?" Henry said hopefully. His dad told

him that they had been working on a way to gain contact with their Digimon. They

wouldn't be able to actually be with them, but they could still see them through a T.V. screen. He had really wanted to see Terriermon again, even if he couldn't touch him, he wanted to know he was alright?

"Actually we did make quite some progress. The system is still too unstable to bring you children there, but this might cheer you up." His dad tossed him a tape player.

"What is it?" Henry said, wondering.

"It's a tape player." His dad told him putting away his coat and hanging his hat up.

"I know that!" Henry said, "But what does it have on it?"

"I guess you'll just have to find out!" His dad said with his grin.

Henry pressed the play button on the portable tape player. Terriermon's voice started playing over the recorder, "Hi Henry, your dad says this message will get to you. I'm fine, we're all fine, it's really quite amazing how well all of us are handling not being with you guys." Terrimon's voice started to sound a bit more cheerful and Henry's eyes started filling up with tears. "Everyone has digivolved to the Rookie stage! Guilmon was even able to digivolve without Takato, but then we couldn't figure out how to get him to dedigivolve. It was funny seeing him try to do a hand stand. He couldn't even stay up for 3 seconds. He even almost fell on poor Lopmon, but super Terriermon was there to save the day!" The tape player went silent for a minute. "Impmon isn't taking it very good, and he really misses his tamers. He tries taking on Ultimates just so they will load his data. It takes us a while, but we can finally convince him that he needs to stay alive so that he can see them once again. Then we have to convince him again 2 days later. Really quite funny. Guardramon and MarineAngemon are doing just peachy. They weren't with their tamers very long, so they don't feel quite the same as we do. Cyberdramon just left to go fight. We see him once in a while though, but he's always looking for somebody stronger to beat, and I'm surprised he hasn't gone Mega yet." Terrimon went silent for a few more seconds, "I'm worried about Renamon though. She doesn't say much. She doesn't even fight at all. She doesn't show any emotion, she's solemn and quiet while looking over the horizon, I tell her to momenti, but she just get's mad at me and throws me off the cliff. We need some way to help her. Maybe when she can speak to Rika like I am to you, she'll she be able to relax. Remember Henry, even if I can't be with you always, I will always be watching over you, tell Suzie I said hi, and don't forget to momenti." The tape player stopped.

Henry just went over to his dad with a river of tears coming from his eyes. He hugged him and said, "Thank you dad, thank you."

Rika was going over her cards again, for the 16th time, when her mom then called out from the kitchen, "Rika, one of your friends is here."

"Finally," She thought as she got up from her table, "I've been waiting for Takato to come; you would think 2 weeks would be too much for the poor kid." She walked out of her door and the kid with that perfect smile was standing right there talking to her grandma. "Ryo," Rika said with surprise and disgust.

"Oh, hi, Rika," he said. "I've come to ask something very important of you."

"Oh, go on!" Rika's mom said, "She needs to get out once in a while,"

Now Rika was really confused, then Ryo said stuttering over his words, "Um, Rika, I was wondering if you wanted to, uh,"

"What's this?" Rika said smugly, "Is the great Ryo stumbling over his words? The answer's no, now leave." She walked back into her room.

"Rika Nonaka," Her mom said in a stern voice, "Ever since the incident you've been locked up in that room of yours! You need to go out and Ryo's a very fine young man. So I expect you to be there at exactly 7:00, and I will not take no for an answer."

"You know, if she doesn't want too…"

"No, she'll go, Ryo," Rika's grandma said. "Just be careful, she's a ticking time bomb."

"Stupid Ryo actually coming over…" Rika thought. At one point there was a time when she would have fought against her mom to the ends of the earth about something like this. But ever since the incident, she listened to what her mom told her. She couldn't lose somebody else. "She's right, I do need to get out, but on a date with him… where's the challenge?" She was bored these days because nothing was a challenge anymore. Ever since they left she had nothing to take on. As she looked at her cards she was sorting, she got an idea. "Wants to take me out on a date huh? Well I'll teach him how painful it will be…"

That night at 7:00 Ryo came into the restaurant; Rika was already sitting down in her usual attire except for two things: She had on the shirt that she had when he first met her and her hair was only being held back by a blue bandana, with the Yin-Yang symbol on the part that covered the top of her head. "I didn't expect you to be early," he said with surprise.

"Look, Pineapple Head, there's only one reason I'm here. And that's because you went to my mom." Her voice had the fierceness it had before Renamon digivolved to Kyubimon.

"So I played your game. I trust you have your deck." She pulled out her Digimon cards.

"Ok, I'll bite… I'll ante up Justimon if you ante up Sakoyamon," He said as he grinned and got out his deck. Rika just put her Sakoyamon card on the table, 5 minutes later she picked up both the Sakoyamon and the Justimon cards off the table. She then said, "Later, I've got another boy to see so I won't be able to stay for dinner. If you don't mind, will you tell the tournament group that I beat you? I'm going to be away for awhile, so I won't be here then." She then headed off to Takato's leaving Ryo bewildered and jealous.
Ryo just sat there for a sec, then said, "At least she didn't just say she was here at 7 and leave. Maybe I do have a chance."

A/N: No it is not a Ryo-Rika, but the bad pairs (SoMato, Jerkato, Dakari,) will come into play in the story, BUT, they are not the couples.
