Hi people!!!
Terriermon: Why are you so excited?
Me: I have six reviews now!!
Lopmon: Well done!
Terriermon: Only six?
Me: Oh, be quiet, for me that's a lot. My last story got 2 reviews, and the one before that got... wait, let me check... Hey, it got 12. Well, anyway. So thanks so much to Raakshii and duckie lover 151 for reviewing! And just so everyone knows, request just about anything for this story, and I'll do it. I want this story to be confusing, so it's fine if I end up with lots of pairings that contradict each other. And people do actually like it when we all talk, Terriermon, Lopmon.
Terriermon: (groans) You mean I have to talk to you and Lopmon again now? Aww...
Lopmon: So, what are we talking about?
Me: Umm... Hey look, it isn't raining!
Lopmon: When was it?
Me: When I was outside.
Terriermon: What's this chapter going to be about?
Me: Um, that depends... What happened at the end of the last chapter?
Terriermon: You wrote it yesterday. How can you not remember?
Me: I don't know! Anyways, I think Rika said she was going to ask Takato out, which means I can't change the POV for this chapter like I had wanted to.
Lopmon: Yes you can. I'm sure other people do that.
Me: Yes, indeed they do. Huh, I guess I can do it then. Yeah... It all makes sense now...
Terriermon: Why are you writing this while listening to depressing music?
Me: My music is not depressing! Well, it's not actually mine, I just listen to it, but it's not depressing, it's cool!
Lopmon: It's about pain being better than numbness.
Me: Which it is!
Lopmon: Which is depressing.
Me: No it isn't! Besides, not all my music is depressing, listen to this song.
Terriermon: I hate Kidzbop.
Me: How about we stop arguing about music and I write the chapter before I forget what I want to do.
Terriermon: I bet you've already forgot.
Me: Yes I have, but who cares. Wait! Oh no, never mind.
Lopmon: Okay... Are gonna start writing the chapter now?
Me: Good idea.
It was a Monday morning, and all the kids in the city were getting ready for school. All the tamers (except Suzie, Ai, Mako, and Ryo) are now in the same class, as Henry and Rika got transferred. However, the tamer in particular we are focusing on, is Kazu Shioda.
As he was lying in bed, his alarm clock went off, he ignored it, the usual. Then he remembered that he was going to meet up with Takato, Henry and Kenta in the park to play digimon cards before school. Even though he'd been doing it for over two years, he still couldn't remember to get up early enough.
When he got there, they were talking and laughing.
"Hey guys, whatcha talking about?"
Takto and Kenta looked at each other. "Oh just... Stuff." Takato said, looking away slightly.
"Dude, be more specific. What kinda stuff?"
"A rumor." Kenta replied.
"What?"
"Well," Henry said, "There's a thing going around that... That you put a camera up in Ayaka's bedroom, and watch videos of her at night. I'm sure it's not-"
"Why would I do that?!" Kazu yelled, interrupting Henry mid-sentence. "If was gonna watch video footage of girls changing, 1, it would be on the internet, and 2, it would not be Ayaka. It would be anyone but Ayaka."
"I'd say she started the rumor herself to try an make people not like you, anyway." Takato said.
"Wait, what was that you said about girls changing on the internet?" Kenta asked.
"Yeah," Kazu laughed, "You'd want to know, wouldn't you, you pervert."
Kenta blushed. "Hey I was just wondering, it's not like I want to see it or anything."
"Anyway," Henry interrupted, "Didn't we come here to play digimon cards? And if we're not gonna do that, could we at least talk about something more... Appropriate?"
"Yeah, like your date with Rika yesterday!" Takato said.
Kazu and Kenta stared. "You went on a date? With Rika?"
"And you didn't get killed?"
Henry blushed. "Well... It-it wasn't really a date... Uh... Hey, what time is it, I bet we're late!"
Kazu laughed. "Ha! You're not getting out of it that easy." He looked at his watch though. It said 8:25, they had to be in school by 8:30. "Oh damn it, we are late! Come on guys, let's go! But I expect to hear all about your date later!"
And so they ran to school, making it into the classroom a second before the bell rang. They sat down, Kazu and Kenta next to each other, Takato next to Jeri, Henry next to Ayaka, as all those seats were the only ones free.
Jeri giggled when Takato sat down. He whispered to her. "What? What's so funny?"
She whispered back. "All of you arriving at the same time, the second the bell rings." She giggled more, except quieter, as their teacher had walked in.
"Alright, all of you. Be quiet. Takato, Jeri, stop talking." As Ms Asagi began a maths lesson, Henry passed a note to Ayaka.
"The thing about Kazu and the camera, did you make that up?"
She passed a note back. "Maybe, why?"
"Just wondering. He said if he was going to spy on any girls at night, it wouldn't be you. It would be anyone but you."
"So he would spy on other girls... Hmm..."
"So why did you make it up?"
"To make him look bad. And it is plausible."
"Okay then."
They stopped passing notes, and concentrated on the lesson.
Eventually, lunch came around, and everyone went outside.
Rika went over to Takato, who was talking to Kazu, and dragged him into a corner.
"Gogglehead."
"Um, yeah. What?"
Rika blushed. "Will you go out with me?"
Takato looked stunned, and blinked a few times while trying to comprehend what she had just said.
"What? But... Don't you like Henry? Isn't that two-timing?"
"No, I don't like him. I asked him out because- Well, ask Jeri about it. Anyway, I like you. Will you go out with me later today?" She blushed very deeply. She really hoped he would say yes, but it annoyed her that her happiness depended so much on his answer.
"W-well, uh... Um, uh, w-well, y-you see... Uh... Do I have to answer now?"
"Yes."
"Is it okay if I'm blunt about it?"
Her heart sank. He was going to say no, she just knew it. She tried to hide the disappointment in her voice, but failed. "Yeah, whatever."
"Okay. Sorry... It's just... Well... No. I like Jeri... Sorry. I hope you're not too sad..."
Rika felt like her heart had been smashed into pieces. She felt like she was going to cry. "I'm not sad, why would I care what you think?" She screamed the last bit, and yelled even more. "Why would I even want to go out with someone like you?! I hate you! And I hate Jeri! And... I... Just go away and leave me alone!" She glared at him, but she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes, no matter how hard she tried to suppress them.
"You he-heard me, (sob) just go away! (sob)" She leaned on the wall and cried into it. There was no point trying not to cry anymore, because it just wasn't going to work.
Takato wished he hadn't said anything, and really wanted to make her feel better. But, there was nothing he could do now, except to go away like she told him to. As he walked away from her, he thought abut what had just transpired.
"Rika asked me out... And I said no... And now she's upset and hates me and Jeri... (sigh) I suppose it was kind of mean to just say no like that, but if don't like her that way, then what's the point? Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that I like Jeri... Or maybe... Um... (sigh) Why does it all have to be so hard?" He came out of his thoughts, and noticd Jeri talking to Ayaka and Miki. He went over to her.
"Hey Jeri, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ayaka and Miki giggled, but Jeri seemed almost oblivious to it.
"Of course! What about?"
"Um... Just come with me."
The two of them walked a bit away, and Takato started talking.
"It's just, you see, Rika asked me out, and I asked her didn't she like Henry, because she was on a date with him yesterday, and she said no, and to ask you about it."
"Oh, you see, she likes you, and asked me how to get you to notice her. So I told her to go out with some other boy and you'd realise what you were missing, and ask her out. So what did you say?"
"Well firstly, Jeri, that kind of thing only works in movies, not even. And I said no, because I like someone else, and now she hates me, and you, and she's crying."
"Takato! How could you do something like that?!"
"Sorry. But if I don't like her that way, then what would be the point?"
"Okay... Good point, I guess. I'll go comfort Rika, but first, who is it that you like? I could set you up with her!"
"Um... Well, considering what happened when you tried to set Rika up with me... I don't think that's such a great idea..."
"Aw, okay. Bye then! Tell the girls what happened and where I'm going!"
"Okay..."
(Switch POV)
Jeri walked up to Rika, who was done crying and sitting on the ground.
"Hi Rika!"
"Hi... This is all your fault!" She stood up. "I asked Takato out, and he said no!"
"I'm sorry... There are other boys out there, but I'm sure that doesn't help." Jeri smiled. "If you want, I could try and convince him to-"
"No." Rika interrupted, "It's fine. You're right, there are other boys out there, and it's not like they matter anyway. (sigh) Besides, he'll regret saying no to me someday..."
"Exactly! So don't worry, everything will be just fine!"
Lunch ended and everybody went back inside. Everyone sat down, and Ayaka sat next to Kazu, pretending she didn't know he was there. She stared at the clock until Ms. Asagi started talking, then looked at Kazu who was giving her a weird look.
She passed him a note.
"What? It's not like I sat next to you on purpose. I'd move if I could."
He replied; "Yeah right, you knew exactly what you were doing when you sat here."
"Answer me this then, why would I want to be next to you?"
"... How am I supposed to know?! You're a girl, girls are weird!"
"You like me sitting next to you, don't you?"
"If I liked it, I wouldn't have said anything! Besides, you're the one that likes it, you sat here."
"How could you possibly accuse me of wanting to sit next to you?! You're crazy!"
And with that, she put her hand up.
"Yes Ayaka? I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with world war two, but go on."
"Can I swap places with somebody? Kazu's being a pervert."
"No I'm not!"
"Yeah you are!"
"No I'm not!
"Yeah you are!"
"Prove it."
"How am I supposed to prove you touched me?"
"I didn't touch you!!"
"Yeah you did!"
"No I didn't!"
"Prove it!"
At this point, the entire class was staring at them, and Ms. Asagi had had enough of it.
"Stop arguing, both of you! Kazu, stand out in the hall,"
"Why me?!"
"Be quiet. And Ayaka, go to fifth class, and make sure to tell them you're in trouble. The teacher will ask how severe, you say 3 out of 10."
Both Kazu and Ayaka knew they had been defeated, and Kazu went out into the hallway, as Ayaka made her way to fifth class.
"Now class, where were we? Ah yes, world war two, and you had better take notes on this, there'll be a test next week."
The history lesson went on for another tediously slow hour, until Ms. Asagi told Kazu he could come back in, and asked Jeri to retrieve Ayaka.
The schoolday went on for another couple of hours, until finally it ended. Everyone began to make their way home, but Ayaka stopped Henry.
"Give me Kazu's phone number or I'll make you sorry."
"Okay then..." He gave her Kazu's number.
"Why?"
"So I can prank call him and put his number on the internet, duh." But there was a tone of uncertainty in her voice as she said that. Henry knew better than to believe her, but didn't say anything.
"Okay. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Good."
The two parted ways, and Ayaka celebrated silently. "Yes! I've got his number! Not like that's really great or anything. I'll call him today, and I'll call somone else on another phone, and put them next to each other. Ha! That'll be fun." She smiled to herself as she walked home.
And that's the end of that chapter!
Terriermon: Your chapters are getting longer and longer, that's scary.
Me: Not scary, good! But I was writing for about an hour or two straight, that can't be good for me...
Lopmon: Oh well. At least the story is turning out well.
Me: Yeah, I might actually be able to write something longer than five chapters!
Lopmon: The way it's going it sure seems like it, considering this is chapter four and the story is nowhere near being ended or resolved.
Me: Yay!!! Let's celebrate! Well, we can celebrate if/when I manage 6 or 7 chapters.
Terriermon: Everything's been going right for you recently, hasn't it?
Me: Yeah... I'm lucky!
Terriermon: Well give us some of your luck!
Me: I don't know how...
Terriermon: Aww...
Lopmon: It doesn't matter.
Terriermon: Well that's fine for you to say.
Me: That reminds me, when people were passing notes, things are underlined for emphasis. Like, instead of italics. Anyways, please review! And the next chapter should be up tomorrow, or whenever I get a chance. (Which will probably be tomorrow) So, bye!
