Disclaimer:
I don't own Jem and the Holograms....I only own this story. Also the only Jem episodes that I have recenlty seen are the ones on the Season one and two disc....so if things seem a little bit weird that's why...Also I don't remember the eighties that well...I was born in 84. Also this is my first Jem fanfic.

Jerrica Benton sighed as she finished the last of her paperwork in her office at Starlight Records. She couldn't wait to get back home.
It seemed like it was harder than ever to keep her secret. One person would want to talk to Jerrica then to Jem. She hated deciving everyone, especially Rio, but she couldn't let anyone find out about Synergy.
When she finally arrived at the Starlight mancion, she found Rio sitting on the couch.
"What are you doing here," asked a surprised Jerrica.
"I wanted to talk to you, so Kimber let me in," said Rio. He sounded surprised and Jerrica didn't like that.
"Talk?" Jerrica repeated as she slowly sat down next to him.
"I want you to finally tell me what you've been hiding." "I keep telling you, I'm not hiding aything." "Jerrica," he said looking in her eyes. "You are always busy and never have any time for me. I see Jem more than I see you." "From what I understand, you don't have any problems with being with Jem."she replied with tears starting to run down her face. She knew she sounded jealous, but she couldn't help it, probably because she was. "Besides, I am trying to run a record company, and it does take a lot of my time." "Jerrica," he said softly, "Maybe we shouldn't see each other anymore." "What?" asked Jerrica. She couldn't believe what he had said. She couldn't imagine a day with out him.
"I'm sorry," Rio said as he walked out the door.
Jerrica ran up the stairs into her room and was crying on her bed. She couldn't believe what happened. After a while she heard a knock on the door, and in a weird way hoped it was Rio, but knew it wasn't. "Come in." she said still crying.
Kimber opened the door and walked up to her older sister. "What happend?" Jerrica told her what happened and what was said.
"What?" Kimber said in shock. "I thought that you two would end up getting married or something." That made Jerrica cry even harder, "Sorry." "Maybe I should tell him the truth about me and Jem." Rio's POV Rio was on his way home thinking about what had just happened. He didn't go there to break up with her. His real reason was to ask her to marry him, he even had the ring in his pocket, but when she wasn't there he was thinking about everything, him, Jerrica, and Jem. Time and time again, he would ask Jerrica what she was hiding, but she wouldn't tell him anything. He knew her too well and the fact that she was hiding something was pretty obvious. There was nothing he hated worse than people who lie and deceive.
But he said all of that stuff with out thinking and regreted it. He had to help Jem with the stage tomorrow afternoon, but he didn't know if he could do it.
