I've said it before, I don't own anything except Doublermon, and also I'd like to thank Firestar001 who is the one who had the idea to call one of the Rikas Ruki to avoid some confusion.
…...
Chapter 3: Name's Ruki
…...
"…So…what idea do you have?" Terriermon asked staring at Takato who just smiled before pulling out a coin from his pocket.
"Simple, we flip this coin, and both Rikas call one side, the one who gets it right, goes home, while the one who gets it wrong can stay at Henry's place," Takato explained causing Henry, Terriermon and both Rikas eyes to widen.
"Wait what!?" they exclaimed in shock and Takato chuckled.
"Look, Henry's dad probably needs to study at least one of you to figure out what happened, so this is probably the best idea we can come up with," Takato explained as the others sighed.
"Fine, let's just flip it," Terriermon sighed before Takato held out the coin ready to flip it.
"Hey, is that a coin from the Pokémon card game?" One Rika asked staring at the coin.
"…Um…yes," Takato said looking at his coin as both Rikas stared at him in confusion.
"I didn't know you liked Pokémon?" Terriermon questioned staring at the coin oddly.
"Look, the games I play are none of your business," Takato groaned before he flipped the coin "Pikachu or Pokéball?" Takato questioned both Rikas as the coin flipped through the air.
"Pikachu," One Rika said without much care and the other simply nodded. Takato caught the coin and looked at it.
"Pokéball," Takato said looking at the coin, the Rika who said Pikachu scowled as the other smirked at her.
"Ok fine, I'll go see if I can stay at Henry's at least until you find a way to show that I am the real Rika!" The Rika who lost the coin flip growled in annoyance before walking over to Henry.
"You? The real Rika? You wish!?" the other Rika scoffed causing her double to glare at her.
"Oh ya, about that, I don't really think we should be calling you both Rika," Takato said nervously knowing this would not go over well with ether one of the Rika "twins."
"Wait what!?" Both Rika's shouted glaring at Takato with extreme intensity.
"Um…ya, so since the one who lost will be going to Henry's house, probably, I think we should think of a name to call her," Takato stuttered under the glare of the Rika he was talking about but was somewhat relieved when the other decided to calm down.
"I already have a name!" the Rika growled as the other one approached her.
"Oh ya, what?" the other Rika asked with a scowl, even though she already had a pretty good idea of the name her "sister" was referring too.
"My name is Rika!" the first Rika growled confirming the others suspicions only for Renamon to give a sigh.
"I'm sorry but that won't work, we cannot call you both Rika when we're all together, it would just get too confusing, so please just try to pick a name," Renamon pleaded as the Rika she was talking to gave a sigh of defeat before nodding.
"I don't want to be called something different than my name! But if I must I will be called…Ruki," the Rika now named Ruki said without much care causing all the others to stare in confusion except for Rika, who stared at her double in surprise.
"Why Ruki?" Terriermon questioned in confusion and Ruki just scowled at him.
"It isn't any of your business big ears!" Ruki growled while Rika went into thought, Ruki was actually the name of her imaginary friend she made up when she was young and lonely, for about three years Ruki was Rika's only source of company, of course then she discovered digimon which eventually led to Renamon, and the rest was history, Rika was just surprised her double would think to use that name, but after giving it some thought she concluded she would've probably chosen the same name had she lost the coin flip.
"Well…I better get home," Rika finally said glancing at her friends, giving Ruki a glare before she turned and walked away.
"Ya, I better get going too," Takato sighed as he began to walk away with Guilmon following him.
"Well we better get this horror of a sleepover started," Terriermon said with a laugh, which died down as he saw Ruki's intense glare "Er-I mean, hurray, sleepover," Terriermon said nervously as Ruki followed him and Henry.
…...
'Two Rikas, two Rikas, Two Rikas!?' Takato thought franticly as his mind worked over the horror of the situation he and his friends had found themselves in, there were now two of their friend Rika, the girl well known as "The Digimon Ice Queen" and Takato was just plain unsure of what to do about it.
"Takatomon, is something wrong?" Takato's digimon partner asked as he looked over at his tamer who was lying on his bed in thought.
"N-no Guilmon, not really, it's just…with Rika and…it's so confusing," Takato managed to say turning away from his digimon "And I'm concerned about that digimon, Doublermon, it's still out there, and who knows what else it will do," Takato said with a sigh thinking of all the chaos Doublermon could do with its powers.
…...
"…So…you're sure there was only one tree here before?" A man asked as he and another man stared at two identical trees that stood side by side in the park.
"I'm telling you, there was only one!" the other man exclaimed franticly, unknown to them a two headed reptilian digimon was watching and chuckling.
"You were right brother," one of the heads chuckled as the other nodded.
"Yes, you see, it doesn't matter what we double, these humans get freaked out just the same," the other head laughed before both heads burst into laughter.
"Oh man, I'm so lonely," the twin headed digimon heard a young sounding voice from above them before looking up to spot a small, white, big eared digimon, with a red triangle on his head, sitting on a tree branch.
"Hello little one," the left head said as Doublermon flew up to the branch the little digimon known as Calumon sat on.
"Oh, um hello there, I'm Calumon, who are you?" Calumon asked cheerfully as the new digimon flew around the tree he sat on.
"We are Doublermon, and why little one, are you lonely?" the other head asked as Calumon's ears shrank in sadness.
"My friends are too busy to play with me right now, so I am all alone with nobody to play with," Calumon said looking at Doublermon with large sad eyes "Will you play with me?" Calumon asked hopefully staring at the large iguana-like digimon as both Doublermon's head's eyes seemed to fill with sympathy for the small digimon.
"Very well little one, we were just out having fun ourselves, so we would be happy to play with you," the left head said as Doublermon leaned in closer to Calumon "But we think we could use another player," Doublermon added with a smirk.
"Another player? That would be great! Do I know him or her?" Calumon asked as Doublermon's other head smirk.
"Oh, we think you know him very well," both heads said as they began to glow.
…...
Rika stormed into her house with an angry scowl on her face, startling her grandmother who looked at her in surprise.
"Rika, is something wrong?" Rika's grandma asked in concern, Rika turned to her grandmother before sighing.
"It's nothing you should be concerned about grandma, just know me and my friends can handle it," Rika said and her grandmother gave a slow nod.
"…Ok Rika, I'll take your word for it," Rika's grandmother said with a sigh.
"Thank you grandma," Rika said as she headed to her room, she entered her room and looked around before sighing "Where's Renamon?" Rika asked looking around before giving another sigh "Probably confused herself, I can't really blame her," Rika said as she looked around her room some more "…I never noticed how empty this room is…maybe a sister wouldn't be so bad to have around," Rika said to herself before she gave a small gasp and shook her head rapidly "No, I don't need a sister to keep me company, especially not one who thinks she's me," Rika said in a angry tone that hid a slight tone of sadness before she dropped onto her bed with a sigh.
…...
"We're home!" Henry called as he walked into his apartment with Terriermon on his head and Ruki following close behind him.
"Henry, welcome back," Henry's father said with a smile as he walked into the room, before his eyes fell on Ruki "Henry, what's your friend Rika doing here?" Henry's father asked as Henry sighed.
"Dad…you should sit down," Henry said with a heavy sigh that told his dad this was going to be confusing. Henry then went on to explain to his father about Doublermon and how there were now two Rikas instead of one.
"A digimon that can copy other things? Fascinating," Henry's father said in awe as Henry finished explaining.
"And that's also why I wish to stay here for a little while, I just can't be home, there's no telling what Grandma, or heaven forbid, mom would do if they found out, and with my…"twin" around it would just be…awkward," Ruki said as Henry's father nodded.
"Well, I can understand where you're coming from Ruki-" Henry's father began before he was cut off by Ruki.
"Please, Ruki is only a name I use to avoid confusion with the others, I would like it if you called me Rika while…she isn't here," Ruki said with a small scowl before Henry's dad gave a nod.
"…Ok, I understand, anyway you're free to sleep on the coach," Henry's father said before Ruki gave a bow.
"Thank you Mr. Wong," Ruki said before she turned to the coach "Doesn't look too bad," Ruki said with a small smile.
"Yup, enjoy! I think it folds out…I think," Terriermon said as he walked by Ruki who looked down at him in confusion and annoyance.
"Also, a test to see if we can pinpoint the original Rika or a way to reverse this will be done soon, don't worry," Henry's dad said and Ruki gave a nervous smile.
"Thank you, I hope we can do it soon," Ruki said as her thought's began to wonder 'I know I'm the original Rika, so why am I so worried about this test?' Ruki thought as she looked down in confusion.
