Ickiakki- Whee! More AkaRik love for the Fanfiction community! 3 These are just short drabbles, the whole "20 Themes" shit. Actually, this stuff is made up of things I can't fit into my long RxA fic.

Hikaru Usada's heart was brimming with joy. Even if it was only for a minute, she was going to see her favorite idol again! Her heart suddenly froze; this was probably the last time she'd ever see Akari again. The older of the two friends had recently been married to the General of the Black Gema Gema Dan, Rik Heisenberg.

The store clerk had even been invited to their wedding, which she had attended, and she even felt a pang of jealousy when the two lovers kissed. Not because she was a lesbian, (folks, let's not get too carried away;), of course, but because neither member of the married couple would ever be lonely again. Recently, Dejiko, Piyoko, and Puchiko had all moved back to their homes, making life in Akihabara seem lackluster and dull. Plus, Usada had nothing to look forward to in life anymore, now that Akari was no longer on Earth! The pink haired girl had even given up her dreams of being an idol, since Dejiko no longer made her efforts worthwhile. Usada had even styled her hair for this occasion, and was wearing her best clothes, but she didn't feel as happy as she looked.

Sighing, she raised her hand to knock on the door, hoping that it would be the right one. After all, the palace on Analogue was immense. Dejiko had said that this planet was poor, but then… Why was it so prosperous now? Mm, Usada didn't really care, and knocked on the door.

It was opened by a certain young military officer, who was clad in merely a pair of heart print boxers. The young Hikaru issued a scream, and Rik turned red, but said nothing. As he recovered from shock, he put a hand over the younger girl's mouth, and whispered, "Sssh, you'll wake her!"

"What?" Usada blinked.

"Akari's sleeping," he sighed, and looked behind him, his eyes suddenly full relief. "Thank goodness! She's still asleep."

As he watched over his wife's sleeping form, his face was overcome with love and adoration, and a warm, dreamy smile lit his face. Usada was extremely disappointed, and suddenly realized that her "brother-in-law" so to speak, seemed to have forgotten that he was naked, for the most part, in front of someone he barely knew.

Well, the shoujo couldn't say that her older friend hadn't made a good choice. Her husband was apparently quite sweet, despite what Dejiko had said about him, and had a high status on the planet he lived on, being a leading military officer. Oddly enough, he was well-built, and much better looking than she had known him to be. He wasn't wearing his glasses (or his pants, for that matter, but, we'll ignore that for a sec), and his hair was down, bangs falling over one eye. Not to mention, he looked very good in boxers, although Usada decided to keep that to herself.

((bear with me people, we're imagining here))

"Oh, well, I really wanted to see her again," the idol-to-be sighed. "I don't even have enough money to buy a wedding present for her."

"Oh, cheer up, dear," Rik said, feeling sorry for the girl in front of him. "I'll tell her you visited, if that'll help."

There was silence for a while. Suddenly, she looked up at him, her face red, and asked, "Do you really love her? With all your heart?"

"Mm," he nodded, "She's someone I was lucky to find. God gave her to me… So it's my duty to protect her."

"I'm jealous," Usada stated bluntly.

"Took her for granted, huh?"

"I shouldn't have taken any of you for granted. Dejiko, Piyoko-"

"Pyocola-sama."

"Fine, Pyocola-sama, Puchiko, and especially Akari-san!"

"Mm, Akari-san and I both made that mistake. We took each other for granted, and ending up hurt. But, God had mercy on us, and brought us back together."

"I wish someone loved me like that. How can you tell who your soul mate is?"

"You can't. Strangely enough, I met Akari looking for a part-time job that would save us from bankruptcy. I didn't even think she was cute, at the time."

"Oh," the Gamerz employee suddenly remembered a certain fan of hers back home.

As if he had read her mind, Rik asked, "Is there someone you've been neglecting lately?"

The younger of the two nodded, and smiled. "Thank you! I think I know what to do. Best of wishes to you both!" she waved, and walked down the hallway.

Feeling a bit better, she opened a bag of sweets the Queen of Analogue had given her, and began to bite into one. Halfway through it, she began to choke, and realized something.

Rik and Akari had been sleeping together. Bastard!

Ickiakki- NO, THEY DID NOT DO THAT, YOU SICK PERVERTS. In order to prevent bad images, I won't be specific. Usada's the one that got it wrong. Yes, you know what, idiots!
