TC: Okay, I finally got my 15 reviews! (Snickers at Night Dragon)
Takato: Does that really count as 15 reviews? I mean, the dude reviewed twice on purpose!
TC: ^_^; Uh…on with the story…
The Trip to Mt. Fuji The ArrivalRika was standing at Takato's door with all her things as Renamon appeared behind her.
"Are you ready Rika?" Takato asked as he opened the door.
"Yeah, I am." Takato let Rika in and joined the rest of the Tamers.
"Okay everyone here's the plan. We have Rapidmon, WarGrowlmon, Taomon and Panjiomon (Leomon's Ultimate) to fly over there while we board the train." Takato looked at everyone to see his or her approval. Everyone nodded and Takato continued.
"The bus ride is about 2 hours from Shinjuku, but I know the Digimon can get there in an hour. I want the Digimon to go and hide at my house in Mt. Fuji and wait for us to get there. Is everyone clear?" Henry stood up.
"Two questions. Why can't we just go on the Digimon and how are we supposed to make the Digimon digivolve to Ultimate without a Blue card?" Takato took out a Modify card that read "Mega-Digivolution." The Tamers all stood at awe as they saw the card that Takato was holding.
"Where did you get that? There are only a hundred of those in the whole world!" Rika exclaimed.
"I got it on E-bay for $40 and referring to Henry's other question, if people saw us on the Digimon, they'd know we were involved. At least if the Digimon go, if people saw them, they'd think they were imagining things." Rika grinned as she realized how much thought Takato put into this.
"Let's do this!"
"Digimodify! Mega-Digivolution activate!" Takato yelled as Guilmon digivolved all the way to WarGrowlmon. The Tamers shared the card until Rapidmon, Taomon and Panjiomon were standing.
"Alright, our train leaves at 5:00 pm and right now, it's…4:45?! We gotta go now!" The Tamers quickly took their things and ran to the station while the Digimon all took to the air.
4:58 pm, Shinjuku Train Station
The tamers arrived in the train station to find they had 2 minutes left to get in their train! Takato and the others quickly flashed their tickets and boarded the bus.
Whew! Takato thought. The train started its engines and began its journey to Mt. Fuji. Rika took a seat next to Takato (wink wink) as the others made themselves comfortable by sleeping on their luggage. Takato looked at Rika and Rika looked at him. They both blushed and looked away. Takato looked at her again, or rather the back of her head, and began to break the silence.
"So Rika, how are you?" Rika was surprised that Takato just spoke to her and turned her head.
"I'm fine." Takato was about to speak again, but Rika broke his thoughts. "I was thinking about what you said, Takato, about how I've changed just as much as you and the others have. I guess I took a walk in Memory Lane last night and I found out that I really did change. And that…it was all because of you. I got closer to my mother because you showed me how to love, even though I never really showed it. You also showed me that it was okay to cry and that I shouldn't keep my feelings bottled up inside me. I just wanted to say thank you, Gogglehead." Takato was taken back by how much he had done.
"Your welcome Rika…" Takato noticed that the others were sound asleep so he decided that it was time to confess his feelings. He had to. The setting was just perfect. Everyone sound asleep and Rika telling him that he had helped change her. But what if she said no? What if she refused and said they should stay friends?
"Are you okay Gogglehead? Sorry if my sudden burst of emotion scared you…" Takato snapped out of it and grinned.
"No, it's okay Rika. I just had this thing that I wanted to tell you, but now, I don't know if I should." Rika gave him a weird look, as though she was encouraging him to tell her. Suddenly, there was a big explosion outside and the train came to a halt…in the middle of nowhere. The rest of the Tamers woke up and looked outside. There was a big shadow that hovered above the train that Takato couldn't quite make out. Everyone in the car came out and ran for their lives as the giant foe started attacking the train. The Tamers all ran one way as the other passengers ran at all directions, away from the danger.
It was nightfall when the Tamers finally reached the base of Mt. Fuji, where Takato's house resort was. It seems the train stopped 3 miles away from Mt. Fuji and the Tamers had to walk the whole way. They all went inside and checked Takato's house out. It was huge! It was like a mansion compared to where Takato lived back in Shinjuku. Rika began to wonder why Takato didn't live here instead. Suddenly, the sound of pans banging together came from the kitchen. The Tamers dashed to the kitchen to find Guilmon and Terriermon wrestling on the ground over…bread.
"No Terriermon, I got the bread first!"
"Oh yeah? Well I got it second so there!" Henry and Takato both sweat dropped as they saw Guilmon and Terriermon duke it out.
"Stop it you guys! There's enough food in the refrigerator for all of us to share." Guilmon stopped and sat on his bottom.
"Oh hi Takatomon, what took you so long?" Takato sighed.
"We got a little sidetracked…"
