By: crystal-eidolon, but for this fic call me Dylan
Dylan: I got to admit this is my first fic. But my instincts tell me it will go well, maybe.
Rika: Why are you so sure about your self?
Dylan: I have read a dozen fic why wouldn't my brain think in making a masterpiece myself
Rika: Even though. I still have a feeling your gonna drop out
Dylan: Oh yeah
Rika looks interested (or maybe not) to punch Dylan
Dylan: here, for you Queenie
Dylan grabs a plastic bag with white stuff on it and throws it at Rika
Rika: Do you call that a hit
The pressure of the throw was too massive, the plastic bag exploded in front of Rika's face
Takato comes in running
Takato: Have anyone found a plastic bag with some stuff on it
Rika: Is this it
Rika brushes the white powder off
Takato: Yeah, it's my auntie's foot scrapping
Rika: What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rika: Dylan I'm going to kill you!!!!!!!
Dylan: Hey don't take it so hard. Cool down man
But it was too late. Rika has release a punch. It hit Dylan on the eye. Dylan was feeling drowsy but spoke his last words
Dylan: I'm going to leave the recording machine for my place.uwa...
Dylan finally fell over
Rika: Now that's done, we can finally have some peace and quite , goggle- head. Nice face powder, our plan had work
Takato: Yeah, It was just for you Rika, Now we're finally getting to watch the fic for our selves.
They blush and sit together.
Voice of Dylan: oh ya I don't own Digimon or the other people here in this story so don't sue please
It Doesn't Seem Right Thoughts of wondering
"Mom I'm going to go outside" said Takato
"Ok but be back at 8:00" replied her mother
Takato really seemed that happy and jolly, but since it has been 3 weeks after they have defeated the D-reaper and their digimon came back, life seems pretty boring without those things. He realizes to getting over it because he knew for some reason everything will end and that's one of it. Even though, he is still same as ever, happy, jolly, aggressive but something is still missing, true love maybe for someone. He thought of walking down the street, bumping to other people who have their own life, will make him feel better, in a way.
-----At the house of the Nonaka Family.-----
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Rika your tearing apart the house," her grandma replied
"But honey I can't do anything in your situation. It is very compulsory in your school during festivals you know that," her mom replied.
"You should have just told the board of commissioners to pick someone else instead of me!" Rika said furiously.
"For your information honey they voted for you though there were other more beautiful nominees for the pageant . Could you imagine there where 21 judges, 10 nominees and 20 voted for you," her mom proudly said. Actually it was 16, her mom whispered to herself.
Rika stood there like the world shook down to pieces.
A beauty pageant! What could I've done wrong, I was a good daughter, a responsible student. I always watch "Buffy the vampire slayer" every night and you have betrayed me.
Why?!?!?!?!?! She screamed in desperation.
This is worse than the D-reaper. This is very unexpected. What could make my situation worse? She thought of it as her mother look at her with mixed expression.
"Oh, by the way dear, I've got this letter for you. Make sure you read it. It's about the rules about joining the pageant," her mother said unwillingly. She thrust the letter to Rika's hand who looked frozen.
Rika went to her room to mourn about her ending life. She just laid on her bed thinking.
What will people say? She asked her self
She just couldn't bear it. Her mind remembered Renamon. Renamon, the only true friend that she had, but now it's just a memory of her past. She accepted that Renamon was gone and she has to cope up with her mother and grandma.
"Sure it's fun being with them but something is missing inside me." She thought.
Unable to remember reality she just lied there, thinking of happy times that just happened to her. And then a figure showed up to her mind, a boy with wearing white with green colored sneakers, pants, blue jacket shirt and a funny-looking yellow goggles on his uncombed hair. Kinda familiar? Of course! it was Takato. It was plainly obvious. Her mind started to drift away. She felt like thinking of Takato was the only one cheering her up.
"What am I thinking, about Takato and me, together? Dumb feeling don't need it anyway. " She thought
Her grandma knocks at her door.
"Come in" said Rika
"Rika dear if you haven't read the rules and regulation there should be something in it that might interest you" said her grandma with slight hope for her.
"What would that be?" Rika quickly asked fast.
"No. 3 Rules for the contestant" said her grandma with some delight.
Rika read the content.
"No. 3 Every contestant have a chance to forfeit the pageant if the contestant share his/her heart with someone to avoid jealousy. "
Rika's "Life End bar" suddenly drops some points upon getting the good news. The only problem is who will she chose to be her fake boyfriend. Her grandma went out to leave Rika thinking. Rika thought whom to make her fake boyfriend. Her rules of picking were.
1. Someone who is not very smart (I really don't why) 2. Someone innocent Someone that people doesn't know about or in other words not popular 1. Someone not from her school 2. Most of all, knows to keep his mouth shut
Her mind couldn't decide, so she walks out to her room. She was about to get out the house until her grandma spoke.
"Go back when you decide Rika" with a little laugh from her grandma
Rika didn't took her grandma's advice to serious. Besides is she really that desperate of having a fake boyfriend before the pageant?
Rika was walking down the street thinking about whom to pick. Suddenly she saw Takato who was walking depress. Rika knew he was a good victim to pick on and maybe cheer him up. Takato wasn't looking forward, he was just looking down, think and thinking, unsuspected that Rika was in front of him. They were gonna bump each other until Rika steps aside and laid a foot beside and in front of Takato the victim. The unsuspected Takato fell on the predator's trap and trip over . OUCH!!!!!!!
Takato was just lying down. He looks behind, then suddenly a flash came out. He stood up with a no-bow tie on a sharp black suit with matching gel- combed hair. He reached out his hand and there was Rika, walking down from an elegant stair with a golden gown and swayed hair. Rika accepted Takato's hand out and both couple dance with the most romantic music ever. Takato just daydreamed for a minute until he went back to the real world.
He looks at Rika who was going to burst in laughter and people looking at him. His blood reached the top of his head and run for dearest life. His mind was only determined to run and run maybe until he is in the end of the world, where Rika won't see him. Unfortunately he ended up panting and sat on a bench in Shinjuki Park.
-----At Shinjuki park-----
"What did I do that for? Stupid me. Now I can't face Rika anymore." Takato thought
"Hey their Takato what's up" said a voice
Takato looked forward where she saw Jeri. Takato was happy because he hasn't seen Jeri for a long time.
"Just the same thing everyday. What about you, any news today?" Takato replied.
"Where gonna live town in four days, for a month because of my dad's job. I must admit I'm going to miss you cause your one of my closest friends" Jeri said.
"Oh thanks and I'm gonna miss you to a lot" Takato replied
"Ah yeah I forgot" Jeri added but it was no use. Takato's mind started to drift away.
Yeah Jeri and I are close friends. I liked her at first but she said where just good friends. It was hard to accept her decision at first but I tried. And now I like Rika. What would she think about me? After doing that magnificent move she would surely like me. to tease. Maybe she will say " Hey goggle-head what stupid thing have you done stupid! " Or maybe something worse.
"Ok bye Takato and don't forget" Jeri said running with a wave
"Sure?" Takato said back to Jeri, as if Takato missed something Jeri said
Forget what? Oh no I mind shifted! I was to focus at my thoughts.
He laid his head back down. Looking at the wonderful sky, Takato wondered. I wonder what Jeri has said.
Will she gonna be depressed when I forget the thing she told me?
"Hey Takato" a voice said.
Takato recognized the voice. He thought it was Rika, but his greatest nightmare wouldn't come true, or would it. Takato looked forward and saw his nightmare, Rika who looks like, she just had a very good laugh.
"Ah, eh Rika" Takato said shaking and looking down because of embarrassment.
"You gave me a very good laugh there" Rika said delightful
"Um, e you know me" Takato said it like it was the only word he knew
"Yeah. Right" Rika, said insulting.
"Now since you're here, laugh-o-boy goggle head, lets go to Jeri's place " Rika said shifting the conversation fast.
"Why would we go there?" Takato asked
"what else, to celebrate her farewell party. Remember? She wouldn't have a heart not to say that to you tell you" Rika said
"Yeah, Rika saying that now, Jeri won't be sad after all " Takato whispered to himself
"Well she told me that yesterday" Rika added.
"Oh yeah that part. I couldn't forget that" Takato said proudly
"But a minute ago you were sweat dropping" Rika said to over come Takato's pride (maybe because Takato was just impressing her).
"Now let's go" Rika said.
The two walked together to Jeri's restaurant. They talked along away about how things are going after the battle.
"Um Rika what's been happening since Renamon left" Takato started.
"Nothing much really " Rika said. " You know defeating helpless kids, getting stuck in my room, getting bored and still having a great time with my mom and grandma" Rika said with a joke. "Hey goggle-head what's been happening to you, since Guilmon left?" Rika turned over the question to Takato.
"Much like yours really" Takato said. "Well, getting defeated by kids in card battle, eating Guilmon bread, fooling with Kenta and Kazu. Um I guess that's all but I still miss Guilmon a lot after the battle on the D-reaper" Takato said.
"Yeah I miss Renamon to, there's no one to speak in the house." Rika added
And then there was a great idea that struck her head.
"Hey goggle-head, since we're board. Why won't you go fetch me at our house tomorrow say 8:00 AM to go to the amusement park ." Rika said with an evil smile.
"This way I will make him agree to be my fake boyfriend and to see if remaining characteristics of a fake boyfriend is on him." Rika laughs a bit
"What! Is the world upside down. Is Rika really inviting me on a date? Well really it's just the amusement park but it's a very big deal for me. Oh thank God!" Takato dreamed
"Of coarse I will! I mean I'll surely accept it, besides it'll help me cheer up" Takato said.
Sucker! Now I'm just going to be romantic with goggle-head
"What are you thinking about! You and goggle-head, together"
No he's just my lifesaver
"Your Digimon queen remember that, a cold, insensitive and serious one"
Even though. Rika thought
"Well now that's done let's continue to Jeri's place" Rika said
-----At Jeri's restaurant-----
Rika and Takato saw their fellow tamers enjoying the party. Kenta and Kazu were betting on the food they will be eating. Susie listening to Jeri's stories. Henry was listening to but his mind was drifting because of Jeri's dreamy eyes.
"And a thunder struck down" Jeri continued the story
Looking at that wonderful dreamy eyes make me light Henry thought
"Hey Henwy why are you looking at Jeri's eyes like that?" Suzie ask
"Um.it's nothing," Henry said while blushing lightly
"But a minute ago you were day dreaming" Suzie added
"I was listening. Now Jeri what happened next?" Henry said low
"Oh Henry your making me laugh" Jeri said with a little laugh
Henry blushed a little bit. Then Jeri continued. When Jeri noticed that they were both here, she invited them to sit on the couch. Takato sat the couch. He admired the view of his friends playing and enjoying their time together. When he looked around the place, he hasn't found Rika's beautiful face. He was sad because Rika already left.as he thought.
"Hey goggle-head, don't the view makes you happy" said Rika that Takato thought she was already gone
When Takato looked left he saw Rika. Rika was so close to him, one grab at her right shoulders and they will stick together, that made Takato blush- lightly.
"E? Um. Yeah it brings back memories." Takato said
"Yeah. devas bio-emerging" Rika said
"Soviegners turning to our side" Takato added
"Digimons matrix evolutions" Rika added
When Takato look at his left, Rika was siting very close beside him. And actually they're sticking together. Takato was blushing deep red .He can't take the tension and went to get something to drink
My plan is working and a few more sweet movements and maybe he will agree to take the job to be my fake boyfriend. Hahaha!!!!!!!!. Rika thought evilly with in herself.
Takato went to the table to get some lemonade. He got a cup and drank. He thought that it would cool him off.
Why did I get up? Why am I not beside Rika now? I was the one who had a "crush" on her or maybe fate is making time for me and Rika "fast forward".
Takato finish the cup of lemonade. What would I do now. will I come back to her? He looked back at where Rika sited. He saw her sad and lonely. Maybe she didn't noticed that we were so close together or maybe not. There is only on thing to know for sure.
Takato went to sit beside Rika.
"Good decision Takato. Hehehe." Rika thought nastily
Kenta noticed that Rika and Takato was in the couch. Kenta went closer to them.
"Hey both of you, want to battle me, in a card game" Kenta said proudly
"If you want to be defeated, you have chosen the right person" Rika proudly replied
"Oh yah!" Kenta almost shouted, "let's battle to know who's better" What am I talking about Kenta took back what he said.
"Sure? Ok, if you want that fate then it will be done" Rika again said proudly.
"Um. Come on, here's the way" Kenta said frightened and showed them the way room where they will fight and went there.
"Come on Takato, look at me win" Rika said while she grab his hand softly, in other words they were holding hands.
"Um. yeah.sure" Takato said while he was terribly blushing with nervousness
Hehehe. I'm getting good at doing this
"Don't push it!"
Sure, this is just to spy on him. Rika thought.
They were in the room. The room was the place where they will party. It was encircled with party food and a large stereo system for maximum party experience. There was a small table at the middle, where they will card battle. Kenta already sat down and was about to look at Rika and Takato, when Rika removes her hand off Takato's to avoid humiliation with goggle head.
That was close
"See, be careful the next time you do that"
Ok I will. Rika's thought reminded her
They started the card battle. While Kenta and Rika was card battling, Takato was always looking at Rika's superb dreamy and beautiful, violet eyes. Every time he looks at her, his mind always daydreamed about himself and Rika. Rika knew her acting effected him. Takato was always looking at her and when she look at him he always look in another direction in short they were always having an eye to eye contact.
It was lunch and the digimon queen was still defeating Kenta. Takato reminded the two whom was battling what the time was. Kenta breathe for relief after that total humiliation. The others went inside the room to eat. After eating, everyone had his/her own things to do. Kenta and Kazu was listening to Linking' park's reanimation version album. They turned on the music at Paper Cut remix and was jumping insanely at the very wild music(Whoa! Kazu and Kenta have a taste for music).
-----On the other side of the room-----
Jeri and Henry were watching MTV. They were watching John Mayer's "No such thing as reality" and "Back to you"(Yeah you're watching the greatest thing). Henry was so thinking dreamily because he was beside Jeri.
What's the matter with me? Why am I so happy when I see her? What's this strange feeling at my stomach? Am I having a "crush" on her? Henry thought with mixed expression.
"Uh. Henry don't you think John Mayer is really great" Jeri started
"Uh. eh. yeah I think his songs are great" Henry replied
"His a 25 year-old song writer. hmmm. I really like him in a way" Jeri said
"Yeah, he has a 22 year old girlfriend, Vanessa Carlson. I envy him" Henry added
"Huh? Why do you envy him?" Jeri asked
"Ah. e.I really want to be like him" Henry said blushing
"Why do you want to be like him?" Jeri asked again
"Because he's popular. to" Henry said
"To people or to girls?" Jeri said with a laugh
Yeah Jeri you're right. I wish I could be popular to girls too. Henry thought
"I was only kidding Henry, don't take so hard. Besides you're popular to girls. Well your popular to me. To tell you the truth" Jeri said to cheer Henry up.
Is it me or the gate of heaven just open for me to hear the singing angels. And I can't believe it, Jeri said that I'm popular to her. Henry thought after hearing it from Jeri
"Thanks Jeri that really cheers me up" Henry said with thankfulness to Jeri
"No problem. Hey that's why I'm here for" Jeri said with a welcome
"Now let's watch Eminem" Jeri said
"Yeah" Henry said with delight
-----At the center of the room-----
"Hey goggle-head wanna be defeated?" Rika said proudly
"Oh yeah I've been practicing" Takato said
"Sure? Let's just start"
They both shuffle their cards and started. Takato was first. He turns and opens his card, a Veemon card. Rika turned open her card, a Demidevimon card. Of coarse Takato armored-digivolve to Imperdrialmon. Takato's luck seems in his side. But Susie butts in.
"Hey Takato don't you know there's a card existing that can destroying you're armored-digimon" Suzie said
"Hey Takato, Suzie is more bright in card battling than you, but don't worry I know you don't have any rookie in your deck anymore. I'll make your day quite humiliating" Rika proudly said.
Like it haven't yet Rika. What could her plan be? My mind is full of thoughts today, because she was so nice or is she romantic with me or the most unlikely to happen is she does like me and then maybe not. Takato wondered
She drops a card. The card was a "Warp Digivolve". Rika suddenly changed her Demidevimon card into Malomyotismon (You can find him in Digimon World 3. He's a card). The card instantly killed Imperdrialmon. With no rookies to use, Rika is the winner.
"That concludes the battle" Rika said
"Gee. Rika you're really good."
"Don't worry Goggle head" Rika said then holds his right hand in the center of the table
"Come on I'll teach you" Rika continued
"Really?" Takato said with joy
"Yeah" Rika said
"Now few more of this and he will be hypnotize by me, so I can figure out if he is the right one to be my---"
"Don't say it"
"I was going to say FAKE BOYFRIEND"
"You can risk your inner self to think of that thing again"
The day has passed and it was dinner already. Jeri stands up in front to get everybody's attention and of coarse Henry was the first to notice it.
"Hey everyone the restaurant 5-star dine-in in ready so let's come in side the restaurant to experience the food of my thanks giving" Jeri said
Jeri I wish you won't leave us for a long time. Henry thought sadly.
When all of them entered the room, it was filled with a 5-star service. Cool table setting, smell of good food and wonderful decoration. They all sat down and waiter arrives and gave them their meal
They started to go outside to say goodbye to everyone especially to Jeri's party. They all had at great time. Henry practically didn't want to go away, but he still has to guide her little sister.
Outside they all splitted up except Takato and Rika. Rika was trying to plan out the most magnificent move for Takato. On the other hand, Takato had no idea that this not for real and it was just a plot. They were walking on the street and were starting to get near to Rika's house. When Rika started.
"Hey goggle-head don't you think it was a great party." Rika started
"Yep. But still I'm gonna miss Jeri" Takato replied
"I was happy to see everyone alright" Rika said
Takato nods his head
"And what makes me more happy today is because" Rika said romantically.
Rika leaned closer to Takato and close her eyes. Takato, with some unexplained force leaned forward too and close his eye. Their lips joined together. They kissed passionately for a 5 seconds.
"because I spent a day with you goggle-head" Rika continued.
Rika walk nearer at door, waves and said
"Don't forget, 8:00" Rika said
"I won't" Takato replied
Takato continued walking home with a smile on his face. While Rika entered her house, her grandma joke.
"Had a great time" Her grandma joked
But Rika didn't really took her grandma's joke. Instead she continued to her room. She laid to here bed thinking.
"Why did I kiss him? What it all part of my plan?"
"Now look what have you done! He will practically tell it to everyone. It's all your fault. You're starting to change"
"Did felt sorry and sad for goggle-head because I'm gonna lie all over to him in the end. And will totally break his heart if he really likes me."
"You're the digimon queen!"
"I don't care what my conscience think. What is this strange feeling inside? What is up with that kiss anyway? I'm showing the weaker me, which practically hate the most of my self. Oh Takato what would I tell you to be my fake boyfriend or boyfriend instead?"
Then her cellphone rang the "In The End" tone.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hello Rika speaking
Um yeah it's me Takato. I just called to for no very special reason really
Yes?
My inner self can't stop thinking about you. I really want to see you tomorrow. I'm spilling out aren't I
No, not really
Rika are you with your self?
Um I guess so
Well it's been nice talking to you. Bye
Bye ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Takato I don't really wan to hurt you." Rika said into thin air
-----At Takato's Bedroom-----
Takato was lying on his bed, balancing his cellphone on one of his finger
"What would I do now? I made a total fool of my self. Even though she said I didn't spilled up. Some thing's bothering me, why is she so nice? Nobody will know for sure. I can't sleep either way. Maybe I'll just draw or write on my diary." Takato thought
Takato grab a pencil and ballpen and sat on his desk. He took out his diary and started to draw and write what happened.
"Hmmm...Rika"

Dylan looks at his side and saw the end of the chapter

It Doesn't Seem Right Thoughts of wondering
"Mom I'm going to go outside" said Takato
"Ok but be back at 8:00" replied her mother
Takato really seemed that happy and jolly, but since it has been 3 weeks after they have defeated the D-reaper and their digimon came back, life seems pretty boring without those things. He realizes to getting over it because he knew for some reason everything will end and that's one of it.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Rika your tearing apart the house," her grandma replied
"But honey I can't do anything in your situation. It is very compulsory in your school during festivals you know that," her mom replied.
"You should have just told the board of commissioners to pick someone else instead of me!" Rika said furiously.
"For your information honey they voted for you though there were other more beautiful nominees for the pageant . Could you imagine there where 21 judges, 10 nominees and 20 voted for you," her mom proudly said. Actually it was 16, her mom whispered to herself.

A beauty pageant! What could I've done wrong, I was a good daughter, a responsible student. I always watch "Buffy the vampire slayer" every night and you have betrayed me.
Why?!?!?!?!?! She screamed in desperation.
This is worse than the D-reaper. This is very unexpected. What could make my situation worse? She thought of it as her mother look at her with mixed expression.
"Oh, by the way dear, I've got this letter for you. Make sure you read it. It's about the rules about joining the pageant," her mother said unwillingly. She thrust the letter to Rika's hand who looked frozen.
Rika went to her room to mourn about her ending life. She just laid on her bed thinking.

She just couldn't bear it. Her mind remembered Renamon. Renamon, the only true friend that she had, but now it's just a memory of her past. She accepted that Renamon was gone and she has to cope up with her mother and grandma.
"Sure it's fun being with them but something is missing inside me." She thought.
Unable to remember reality she just lied there, thinking of happy times that just happened to her. And then a figure showed up to her mind, a boy with wearing white with green colored sneakers, pants, blue jacket shirt and a funny-looking yellow goggles on his uncombed hair. Kinda familiar? Of course! it was Takato. It was plainly obvious. Her mind started to drift away. She felt like thinking of Takato was the only one cheering her up.
"What am I thinking, about Takato and me, together? Dumb feeling don't need it anyway. " She thought
Her grandma knocks at her door.
"Come in" said Rika
"Rika dear if you haven't read the rules and regulation there should be something in it that might interest you" said her grandma with slight hope for her.
"What would that be?" Rika quickly asked fast.
"No. 3 Rules for the contestant" said her grandma with some delight.
Rika read the content.
"No. 3 Every contestant have a chance to forfeit the pageant if the contestant share his/her heart with someone to avoid jealousy. "
Rika's "Life End bar" suddenly drops some points upon getting the good news. The only problem is who will she chose to be her fake boyfriend. Her grandma went out to leave Rika thinking. Rika thought whom to make her fake boyfriend. Her rules of picking were.
1. Someone who is not very smart (I really don't why) 2. Someone innocent Someone that people doesn't know about or in other words not popular 1. Someone not from her school 2. Most of all, knows to keep his mouth shut
Her mind couldn't decide, so she walks out to her room. She was about to get out the house until her grandma spoke.
"Go back when you decide Rika" with a little laugh from her grandma
Rika didn't took her grandma's advice to serious. Besides is she really that desperate of having a fake boyfriend before the pageant?
Rika was walking down the street thinking about whom to pick. Suddenly she saw Takato who was walking depress. Rika knew he was a good victim to pick on and maybe cheer him up. Takato wasn't looking forward, he was just looking down, think and thinking, unsuspected that Rika was in front of him. They were gonna bump each other until Rika steps aside and laid a foot beside and in front of Takato the victim. The unsuspected Takato fell on the predator's trap and trip over . OUCH!!!!!!!
Takato was just lying down. He looks behind, then suddenly a flash came out. He stood up with a no-bow tie on a sharp black suit with matching gel- combed hair. He reached out his hand and there was Rika, walking down from an elegant stair with a golden gown and swayed hair. Rika accepted Takato's hand out and both couple dance with the most romantic music ever. Takato just daydreamed for a minute until he went back to the real world.
He looks at Rika who was going to burst in laughter and people looking at him. His blood reached the top of his head and run for dearest life. His mind was only determined to run and run maybe until he is in the end of the world, where Rika won't see him. Unfortunately he ended up panting and sat on a bench in Shinjuki Park.
-----At Shinjuki park-----
"What did I do that for? Stupid me. Now I can't face Rika anymore." Takato thought
"Hey their Takato what's up" said a voice
Takato looked forward where she saw Jeri. Takato was happy because he hasn't seen Jeri for a long time.
"Just the same thing everyday. What about you, any news today?" Takato replied.
"Where gonna live town in four days, for a month because of my dad's job. I must admit I'm going to miss you cause your one of my closest friends" Jeri said.
"Oh thanks and I'm gonna miss you to a lot" Takato replied
"Ah yeah I forgot" Jeri added but it was no use. Takato's mind started to drift away.
Yeah Jeri and I are close friends. I liked her at first but she said where just good friends. It was hard to accept her decision at first but I tried. And now I like Rika. What would she think about me? After doing that magnificent move she would surely like me. to tease. Maybe she will say " Hey goggle-head what stupid thing have you done stupid! " Or maybe something worse.
"Ok bye Takato and don't forget" Jeri said running with a wave
"Sure?" Takato said back to Jeri, as if Takato missed something Jeri said
Forget what? Oh no I mind shifted! I was to focus at my thoughts.
He laid his head back down. Looking at the wonderful sky, Takato wondered. I wonder what Jeri has said.
Will she gonna be depressed when I forget the thing she told me?
"Hey Takato" a voice said.
Takato recognized the voice. He thought it was Rika, but his greatest nightmare wouldn't come true, or would it. Takato looked forward and saw his nightmare, Rika who looks like, she just had a very good laugh.
"Ah, eh Rika" Takato said shaking and looking down because of embarrassment.
"You gave me a very good laugh there" Rika said delightful
"Um, e you know me" Takato said it like it was the only word he knew
"Yeah. Right" Rika, said insulting.
"Now since you're here, laugh-o-boy goggle head, lets go to Jeri's place " Rika said shifting the conversation fast.
"Why would we go there?" Takato asked
"what else, to celebrate her farewell party. Remember? She wouldn't have a heart not to say that to you tell you" Rika said
"Yeah, Rika saying that now, Jeri won't be sad after all " Takato whispered to himself
"Well she told me that yesterday" Rika added.
"Oh yeah that part. I couldn't forget that" Takato said proudly
"But a minute ago you were sweat dropping" Rika said to over come Takato's pride (maybe because Takato was just impressing her).
"Now let's go" Rika said.
The two walked together to Jeri's restaurant. They talked along away about how things are going after the battle.
"Um Rika what's been happening since Renamon left" Takato started.
"Nothing much really " Rika said. " You know defeating helpless kids, getting stuck in my room, getting bored and still having a great time with my mom and grandma" Rika said with a joke. "Hey goggle-head what's been happening to you, since Guilmon left?" Rika turned over the question to Takato.
"Much like yours really" Takato said. "Well, getting defeated by kids in card battle, eating Guilmon bread, fooling with Kenta and Kazu. Um I guess that's all but I still miss Guilmon a lot after the battle on the D-reaper" Takato said.
"Yeah I miss Renamon to, there's no one to speak in the house." Rika added
And then there was a great idea that struck her head.
"Hey goggle-head, since we're board. Why won't you go fetch me at our house tomorrow say 8:00 AM to go to the amusement park ." Rika said with an evil smile.
"This way I will make him agree to be my fake boyfriend and to see if remaining characteristics of a fake boyfriend is on him." Rika laughs a bit
"What! Is the world upside down. Is Rika really inviting me on a date? Well really it's just the amusement park but it's a very big deal for me. Oh thank God!" Takato dreamed
"Of coarse I will! I mean I'll surely accept it, besides it'll help me cheer up" Takato said.
Sucker! Now I'm just going to be romantic with goggle-head
"What are you thinking about! You and goggle-head, together"
No he's just my lifesaver
"Your Digimon queen remember that, a cold, insensitive and serious one"
Even though. Rika thought
"Well now that's done let's continue to Jeri's place" Rika said
-----At Jeri's restaurant-----
Rika and Takato saw their fellow tamers enjoying the party. Kenta and Kazu were betting on the food they will be eating. Susie listening to Jeri's stories. Henry was listening to but his mind was drifting because of Jeri's dreamy eyes.
"And a thunder struck down" Jeri continued the story
Looking at that wonderful dreamy eyes make me light Henry thought
"Hey Henwy why are you looking at Jeri's eyes like that?" Suzie ask
"Um.it's nothing," Henry said while blushing lightly
"But a minute ago you were day dreaming" Suzie added
"I was listening. Now Jeri what happened next?" Henry said low
"Oh Henry your making me laugh" Jeri said with a little laugh
Henry blushed a little bit. Then Jeri continued. When Jeri noticed that they were both here, she invited them to sit on the couch. Takato sat the couch. He admired the view of his friends playing and enjoying their time together. When he looked around the place, he hasn't found Rika's beautiful face. He was sad because Rika already left.as he thought.
"Hey goggle-head, don't the view makes you happy" said Rika that Takato thought she was already gone
When Takato looked left he saw Rika. Rika was so close to him, one grab at her right shoulders and they will stick together, that made Takato blush- lightly.
"E? Um. Yeah it brings back memories." Takato said
"Yeah. devas bio-emerging" Rika said
"Soviegners turning to our side" Takato added
"Digimons matrix evolutions" Rika added
When Takato look at his left, Rika was siting very close beside him. And actually they're sticking together. Takato was blushing deep red .He can't take the tension and went to get something to drink
My plan is working and a few more sweet movements and maybe he will agree to take the job to be my fake boyfriend. Hahaha!!!!!!!!. Rika thought evilly with in herself.
Takato went to the table to get some lemonade. He got a cup and drank. He thought that it would cool him off.
Why did I get up? Why am I not beside Rika now? I was the one who had a "crush" on her or maybe fate is making time for me and Rika "fast forward".
Takato finish the cup of lemonade. What would I do now. will I come back to her? He looked back at where Rika sited. He saw her sad and lonely. Maybe she didn't noticed that we were so close together or maybe not. There is only on thing to know for sure.
Takato went to sit beside Rika.
"Good decision Takato. Hehehe." Rika thought nastily
Kenta noticed that Rika and Takato was in the couch. Kenta went closer to them.
"Hey both of you, want to battle me, in a card game" Kenta said proudly
"If you want to be defeated, you have chosen the right person" Rika proudly replied
"Oh yah!" Kenta almost shouted, "let's battle to know who's better" What am I talking about Kenta took back what he said.
"Sure? Ok, if you want that fate then it will be done" Rika again said proudly.
"Um. Come on, here's the way" Kenta said frightened and showed them the way room where they will fight and went there.
"Come on Takato, look at me win" Rika said while she grab his hand softly, in other words they were holding hands.
"Um. yeah.sure" Takato said while he was terribly blushing with nervousness
Hehehe. I'm getting good at doing this
"Don't push it!"
Sure, this is just to spy on him. Rika thought.
They were in the room. The room was the place where they will party. It was encircled with party food and a large stereo system for maximum party experience. There was a small table at the middle, where they will card battle. Kenta already sat down and was about to look at Rika and Takato, when Rika removes her hand off Takato's to avoid humiliation with goggle head.
That was close
"See, be careful the next time you do that"
Ok I will. Rika's thought reminded her
They started the card battle. While Kenta and Rika was card battling, Takato was always looking at Rika's superb dreamy and beautiful, violet eyes. Every time he looks at her, his mind always daydreamed about himself and Rika. Rika knew her acting effected him. Takato was always looking at her and when she look at him he always look in another direction in short they were always having an eye to eye contact.
It was lunch and the digimon queen was still defeating Kenta. Takato reminded the two whom was battling what the time was. Kenta breathe for relief after that total humiliation. The others went inside the room to eat. After eating, everyone had his/her own things to do. Kenta and Kazu was listening to Linking' park's reanimation version album. They turned on the music at Paper Cut remix and was jumping insanely at the very wild music(Whoa! Kazu and Kenta have a taste for music).
-----On the other side of the room-----
Jeri and Henry were watching MTV. They were watching John Mayer's "No such thing as reality" and "Back to you"(Yeah you're watching the greatest thing). Henry was so thinking dreamily because he was beside Jeri.
What's the matter with me? Why am I so happy when I see her? What's this strange feeling at my stomach? Am I having a "crush" on her? Henry thought with mixed expression.
"Uh. Henry don't you think John Mayer is really great" Jeri started
"Uh. eh. yeah I think his songs are great" Henry replied
"His a 25 year-old song writer. hmmm. I really like him in a way" Jeri said
"Yeah, he has a 22 year old girlfriend, Vanessa Carlson. I envy him" Henry added
"Huh? Why do you envy him?" Jeri asked
"Ah. e.I really want to be like him" Henry said blushing
"Why do you want to be like him?" Jeri asked again
"Because he's popular. to" Henry said
"To people or to girls?" Jeri said with a laugh
Yeah Jeri you're right. I wish I could be popular to girls too. Henry thought
"I was only kidding Henry, don't take so hard. Besides you're popular to girls. Well your popular to me. To tell you the truth" Jeri said to cheer Henry up.
Is it me or the gate of heaven just open for me to hear the singing angels. And I can't believe it, Jeri said that I'm popular to her. Henry thought after hearing it from Jeri
"Thanks Jeri that really cheers me up" Henry said with thankfulness to Jeri
"No problem. Hey that's why I'm here for" Jeri said with a welcome
"Now let's watch Eminem" Jeri said
"Yeah" Henry said with delight
-----At the center of the room-----
"Hey goggle-head wanna be defeated?" Rika said proudly
"Oh yeah I've been practicing" Takato said
"Sure? Let's just start"
They both shuffle their cards and started. Takato was first. He turns and opens his card, a Veemon card. Rika turned open her card, a Demidevimon card. Of coarse Takato armored-digivolve to Imperdrialmon. Takato's luck seems in his side. But Susie butts in.
"Hey Takato don't you know there's a card existing that can destroying you're armored-digimon" Suzie said
"Hey Takato, Suzie is more bright in card battling than you, but don't worry I know you don't have any rookie in your deck anymore. I'll make your day quite humiliating" Rika proudly said.
Like it haven't yet Rika. What could her plan be? My mind is full of thoughts today, because she was so nice or is she romantic with me or the most unlikely to happen is she does like me and then maybe not. Takato wondered
She drops a card. The card was a "Warp Digivolve". Rika suddenly changed her Demidevimon card into Malomyotismon (You can find him in Digimon World 3. He's a card). The card instantly killed Imperdrialmon. With no rookies to use, Rika is the winner.
"That concludes the battle" Rika said
"Gee. Rika you're really good."
"Don't worry Goggle head" Rika said then holds his right hand in the center of the table
"Come on I'll teach you" Rika continued
"Really?" Takato said with joy
"Yeah" Rika said
"Now few more of this and he will be hypnotize by me, so I can figure out if he is the right one to be my---"
"Don't say it"
"I was going to say FAKE BOYFRIEND"
"You can risk your inner self to think of that thing again"
The day has passed and it was dinner already. Jeri stands up in front to get everybody's attention and of coarse Henry was the first to notice it.
"Hey everyone the restaurant 5-star dine-in in ready so let's come in side the restaurant to experience the food of my thanks giving" Jeri said
Jeri I wish you won't leave us for a long time. Henry thought sadly.
When all of them entered the room, it was filled with a 5-star service. Cool table setting, smell of good food and wonderful decoration. They all sat down and waiter arrives and gave them their meal
They started to go outside to say goodbye to everyone especially to Jeri's party. They all had at great time. Henry practically didn't want to go away, but he still has to guide her little sister.
Outside they all splitted up except Takato and Rika. Rika was trying to plan out the most magnificent move for Takato. On the other hand, Takato had no idea that this not for real and it was just a plot. They were walking on the street and were starting to get near to Rika's house. When Rika started.
"Hey goggle-head don't you think it was a great party." Rika started
"Yep. But still I'm gonna miss Jeri" Takato replied
"I was happy to see everyone alright" Rika said
Takato nods his head
"And what makes me more happy today is because" Rika said romantically.
Rika leaned closer to Takato and close her eyes. Takato, with some unexplained force leaned forward too and close his eye. Their lips joined together. They kissed passionately for a 5 seconds.
"because I spent a day with you goggle-head" Rika continued.
Rika walk nearer at door, waves and said
"Don't forget, 8:00" Rika said
"I won't" Takato replied
Takato continued walking home with a smile on his face. While Rika entered her house, her grandma joke.
"Had a great time" Her grandma joked
But Rika didn't really took her grandma's joke. Instead she continued to her room. She laid to here bed thinking.
"Why did I kiss him? What it all part of my plan?"
"Now look what have you done! He will practically tell it to everyone. It's all your fault. You're starting to change"
"Did felt sorry and sad for goggle-head because I'm gonna lie all over to him in the end. And will totally break his heart if he really likes me."
"You're the digimon queen!"
"I don't care what my conscience think. What is this strange feeling inside? What is up with that kiss anyway? I'm showing the weaker me, which practically hate the most of my self. Oh Takato what would I tell you to be my fake boyfriend or boyfriend instead?"
Then her cellphone rang the "In The End" tone.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hello Rika speaking
Um yeah it's me Takato. I just called to for no very special reason really
Yes?
My inner self can't stop thinking about you. I really want to see you tomorrow. I'm spilling out aren't I
No, not really
Rika are you with your self?
Um I guess so
Well it's been nice talking to you. Bye
Bye ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Takato I don't really wan to hurt you." Rika said into thin air
-----At Takato's Bedroom-----
Takato was lying on his bed, balancing his cellphone on one of his finger
"What would I do now? I made a total fool of my self. Even though she said I didn't spilled up. Some thing's bothering me, why is she so nice? Nobody will know for sure. I can't sleep either way. Maybe I'll just draw or write on my diary." Takato thought
Takato grab a pencil and ballpen and sat on his desk. He took out his diary and started to draw and write what happened.
"Hmmm...Rika"
