(the events in this story take place shortly after the D-Reaper events, and ignores the fact that all the digimon were sent back to the digital world and the movies. Finaly this goes off the English ages not the Japanese ones so Takato is 12 and Rika is 13.)
"Hey guys what's up, why'd you call us here, and where's Henry?"Takato asked. Rika and Renamon were standing in front of him and Guilmon.
Rika blushed and turned her head. "Goggle-Head maybe I wanted to talk to you alone."She said. She nodded towards Renamon.
"That's my cue to leave, come Guilmon I believe our Tamers need to talk." Renamon said. Guilmon looked confused but followed her away.
"So what did you want to talk to me about Rika?" Takato asked.
"Well... It's... I just wanted to say." Rika stumbled out. She sighed this was much harder than she thought.
"Rika what's wrong, are you okay?" Asked Takato. He looked at his friend she was acting weird and her face was turning an alarming shade of red.
She sighed and walked over to Takato, she pulled him in and kissed him, after about seven seconds she let him go. "Keep that to yourself Goggle-Head." She said, before walking off.
Takato stood there letting Rika kiss him, without any resistance when it ended he was actually a little sad, but mostly he just felt very confused. What was that all about, why did she kiss me? I guess I'll just ask her later when things cool down.
"Hey Takato I'm back, so what did Rika want was it official tamer business? Asked Guilmon. Takato smiled and replied. "yeah boy something like that, now let's go it's getting late." (It was in fact almost eight.)
(Rika in her room laying on the bed.)
Damn, I messed up and couldn't tell him, what's wrong with me?
"Rika, are you alright, can I come in?" came a voice she recognized as her mom.
"Yeah, it's cool come on in." She replied.
"So, what's wrong sweetie, you've been ignoring your friends calls for a few days now?" She asked concerned.
"(Sigh), it's nothing I guess you'd call it boy troubles." She said while blushing, she only told her mom that because she had promised to share her felling more often.
Her mom smiled and sat on the bed next to Rika, "so Takato, or is it Henry, Maybe that other boy, Ryo?" She asked.
Rika blushed harder. "Mom stop guessing it's embarrassing, I'll just tell you, it's Takato there are you happy?" She said.
"Honey I'm only happy if your happy, Are you?" She asked.
Rika looked up and smiled. "You don't need to worry about me mom I just need to get this off my chest to Takato, I'm going okay mom."
Her mom nodded and moved out the way.
Ahh young love. Her mom thought as she watched her daughter rush off to the Takato's house.
(Takato hanging out with Jerry, over the past few weeks they had developed a sort of brother, sister bond rather than a romantic one. "So Rika kissed you, sounds like a good time." Jerry said while giggling.
"This isn't funny Jerry, what do I do, I mean I've never even thought of Rika like that." He said.
Jerry raised an inquisitive eyebrow. "Oh really Takato, I think somebody needs to stop lying to his friends." Jerry said.
"I'm not lying, Rika's just a girl, whose a friend, no different from you."he said.
"Oh you mean she's smart, funny, and extremely cute?"she asked smileing
"Yes that's... wait no thats not what I meant at all, stop twisting my words jerry I don't like her like that.
"Honestly Takato will you just admit it, I'm your best friend, I know these things about you, and you should tell Rika too" said Jerry.
Takato blushed "yeah, yeah, yeah whatever but I guess your right, I can't keep denying it especially to myself, I need to say something to her, thanks Jerry I owe you one." He said.
Jerry nodded and ushered him out the door.
Rica looked at her D-power and saw a message from Takato Meet me in the park please. She smiled so goggle head wants to talk to me, well I better get over there fast.
"So what did you want to talk to me about Takato, I hope it was worth me coming all the way out here." She asked. She and Takato were sitting in the the old tank house where they used to hide Guilmon.
Takato blushed. "I wanted to talk about what happened earlier, you know the kissing thing." He said nervously.
"Ohh that, I should have guessed, well what is it, you want an apology or something?"she asked blushing.
Takato gave a nervous grin no more like an explanation, like why you did it." He said.
"I really can't say, I guess I just wanted to kiss you, is that so weird I mean we've been through so much tog..." She was interrupted by Takato hugging her.
"Rika you should have just told me, I've always dreamed of telling you my feelings but I thought you'd just laugh or beat me up or something." He said still hugging her.
Rika stood there speechless, she returned the hug.
"Well Takato this is weird, what do we do now?" Asked Rika still blushing.
Takato smiled. "Well whatever feels natural I guess." As he said this he went to kiss her.
Rika smiled and went to meet him, but before they could meet Takato's phone rang. "Sorry let me get that." He said.
Yamaki called. "Takato, there's a Digimon bioemerging not to far from your location, it looks like it's at the champion level." He said.
"Got it, thanks Yamaki we will handle it, see ya later man." Takato replied, and hung-up.
He looked at Rika and asked. "You up for a fight?"
"You know I am goggle-head." She said. She walked over to him and reached for his hand.
After meeting up with Renamon and Guilmon, who had followed the digital field to the area, and they were ready to fight.
"Umm, Takatomon why are you and Rika holding hands, and why is your face all red?" Asked Guilmon.
"Not important Guilmon, do we have visual yet?"
"No Takato, we don't, but it's weird we can sense it but no matter what we do we cant find it." Renamon explained.
"The digimon looked at her partner and Takato's hands then to her face and smiled.
"So it went well I trust." Said the vixen(female fox).
She nodded her head, her d-power went off and it showed a data screen that said
(Bakemon a small trixter digimon who can turn itself invisible)
"Ohhhh crap, we won't be able to see this thing to hit it."Said Rika.
Suddenly Renamon flew into the Side of a building. Rika ran over to her digimon and and helped her to her feet. "Takato, renamon is hurt preaty bad, can you and Guilmon take this one?" She asked.
"Yeah, but I never thought I'd see the day when the Digimon queen would back away from a fight." He said with a smirk.
As Rika yelled out her comeback, Takato got a weird feeling, and started to run towards her. He reached her with no time to spare, he threw himself in front of her and intercepted the invisible fist, the force of which sent him sprawling into her.
(Up on a rooftop) ("Digi-Modify, (card scanning sounds) digivolution activate." )
"Takato!"Guilmon yelled, he then blasted his powerful pyro-sphere and made slight contact with the Bakemon.
As the orb of pure fire slammed into it , the Digimon just laughed, he grabbed it and threw it back towards Takato.
"Watch out Takato." Guilmon said, he jumped in front of the blast and was sent sprawling on the pavement, he didn't get up.
(Creepy ghost voice.) "nooow it'ssss your tuurrnn." Said Bakemon to Takato, he floated up slowely to him and prepared to strike.
A fist penetrated the ghostly body turning it to code, the Bakemon dissolved into code.
