Shrub: Hooray for Chapter 6! Since I have nothing better to say, I'll just quote, "Nobody pouts before they jiggy!" –Nelson from "The Simpsons".



"Hey Takato!" Jeri said excitedly.

"Erm, hi Jeri." Takato replied.

"Whatcha up to?"

"Well, I'm getting punch…" Jeri was starting to scare Takato.

"Will you dance with me?"

Takato blushed. "Um, I'm sure Rika's waiting for me, so I'd better – whoa!"

Jeri pulled Takato over to where some people were dancing. "Aww, c'mon Takato. Lighten up!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Takato saw Rika stand up and storm out of the room. "Rika, wait!" He turned to Jeri. "Look, um, I gotta go." With that, he turned around and went after Rika.



Rika was on the front porch, sitting on a bench, hands clenched in fists. 'How could he,' she thought, 'after all we've been through?' Suddenly, the front door opened, and Takato came out. "Rika, there you are! We need to talk."

Rika kicked Takato in the groin, and he bent over in pain, whimpering. Rika eyed him. "Hey Blackbeard, if you don't explain what you were doing with Jeri, I'll give you two Captain Blackeye's to think about."

"Alright, just…give me a minute to, uh, recover."

Rika tapped her foot impatiently. "Hurry up, you're wasting my time."



1 hour later…

Takato slowly got up. "I think I'm feeling better. Oooh, maybe not. Here, let's sit down. Why are you so mad all of a sudden?"

Rika snorted. "Don't play dumb with me. You know why."

"What, are you mad because…because I talked with Jeri, and then she asked me to dance, but I refused, because I'm here with you?"

"You're making me look bad."

"No way, you always look good." Rika couldn't help but smile at this.

"Look," Takato tried to explain, "You're the only one for me. Nobody can take me away from you." 'That's classic,' he thought. 'This has got to make her forgive me.'

"Okay, but promise me this: that you'll always be with me."

"Anything for you." 'Heh, another classic line,' Takato thought. "I promise that I'll always be with you."

"Oh yeah, and you have to quit with the corny jokes for a month."

"What!? No corny jokes? Isn't that why you love me?" Takato grinned.

Rika giggled, hugging him. "You're too cute."

A few trick-or-treaters walked up to the door. "Trick-or-treat!" they said in unison.

"Umm, we don't have any candy, so try ringing the doorbell." Takato confessed. They rang the doorbell, and a moment later, Henry opened the door, munching on a slice of anchovy pizza. The trick-or-treaters screamed.

"Aaaagh! It's a vampire!"

One kid pointed to Henry's chin, which was stained with tomato sauce. "Look! He even has blood on him! Let's run away before he bites us!" The kids ran away.

Henry tried to explain. "No, wait! It's just pizza sauce! Oh, they're gone anyways." He turned and went back into the house.

Just then, Guilmon burst out from the house with Terriermon on his back. "Looks like we win!" Terriermon bragged.

A few seconds later, Calumon floated out of the house. "Boy you guys are fast!" Of course, Calumon didn't know that Terriermon had cheated, or that they got a headstart.

"You lose the race, Calumon!" Terriermon exclaimed.

"Awww…" Calumon's ears drooped. "Heeeey! Let's play some more!"

Rika asked, "Hey, where's Renamon?"

Terriermon shrugged, "Probably upstairs, taking a nap."

Calumon yelled, "Race you back upstairs!"

"You're on!"

And then, the Digimon disappeared into the house.

"So, do you wanna get back to the party?" Takato offered.

"Sure, let's go." The two Tamers headed back inside.



Shrub: Huzzah, I'm done (with the chapter, not the story). Gimme 5 reviews on the chapter and I'll continue. Actually, it doesn't matter how many reviews you give me, I'm continuing anyways because I want to, so there! Read and review! I'm a hypocrite, aren't I? And no flames, I don't wanna get burned. (pun not un-intended) And remember, a pun is funny only once, and only to whoever made it up, which would be me. Ha-ha, I'm laughing already.
