By: Smashfriends
Freak: Here is the next chapter.
Aerisakura: Thanks for your reviews.
MMX2: Yeah, and now, you will see what evil, well not evil, but you will see what Henry's plan is.
Terriermon: I have to agree with BlackTerriermon here, Rika is going to…
Freak: You little bunny, know what we have planed, and the D.I.Q. hasn't discovered were we are, so I think we still have some time.
MMX2: Here we go to the next chapter, now we hope you like what we planned.
Terriermon: You know it, they don't own Digimon nor CCS (Why is me the one that has to said that?)
Chapter 8: The Play Part 2 and…..
"Well kids, that will be all for now, after lunch we'll have another rehearsal" Celes said and the kids went to do their own things, Tomoyo for example asked….no, forced her friends-Sakura, Naoko, Chiharu and Yamazaki to come with her and let her take their measurements and make their outfits, she tried to take Takato too, and make some plans to make him, confess his "love" to her, of course Takato avoided her with Henry's help.
Takato decided to go to see Rika and gave her the letters, Henry invented an excuse to leave the goggle-head alone with the D.I.Q., and Takato as usual didn't suspect anything.
Henry decided to tag along Tomoyo, just to keep a close eye in here, and make sure that she wouldn't try any other stupid act against the girl that his goggle-headed friend.
###To The D.I.Q.###
Rika was lying on her bed, Renamon, for a long time, make her appearance to observe her Tamer, she really didn't know what was happening, she had been hiding, knowing that her Tamer wanted to be left alone, but now, she was getting worried, not because Rika looked sad, no, it was something worst, she looked angered, and really angered, in other words, Renamon was afraid that her Tamer could try to harm that crazy girl with the camera or that other girl, but Renamon knew that asking what was wrong would be worst, so she just waited until her Tamer decided to talk to her.
Rika was staring at the ceiling, thinking on a way of get revenge on that camera maniac, then she would take the rest of her anger in that Sakura girl, and if Henry messed with her again, she will have to give him another lesson. Rika sighed and in that moment she hear someone calling at the door.
"Hey, Rika, it's me, Takato" came Takato voice through the door, Rika blushed lightly, at this Renamon let a little smile come to her face and then disappeared, leaving her Tamer alone with his friend.
"Come in" Rika said while she stood up, then Takato come inside her cabin, holding the envelope in his hands.
"Hi. Ummm, this letter is for you, I wanted to bring it to you" Takato said smiling to her and then he gave her the letter.
"Thanks" was all Rika said.
"How are you feeling?" Takato asked as he took a seat next to her.
"Why do you ask?" Rika said confused.
"Well, is just that, since you didn't went to eat breakfast and you didn't went to the rehearsal, so I thought that you could be sick or something" Takato said not daring to look at her.
"I was…I feel better now, thanks goggle-head" Rika lied and thought 'No need in telling what that camera maniac did'
"Ummm, to bad you couldn't go to the rehearsal, the headmistress gave the part of the Princess to Sakura" Takato said with disappointment in his voice, which Rika didn't noticed.
"Well, I didn't like the idea of wearing a dress, let alone a Princess dress" Rika said with annoyance in her voice, which Takato decided to ignore.
"Well, I think that you would look very pre…nice" Takato said blushing at what he almost said. Rika blushed at what he said and because she did noticed what he was about to said.
"Well…thanks" Rika said, still blushing.
"Hey, is almost lunch time, would you like to come with me?" Takato said trying to change the subject.
"Ok, thanks" Rika said and the two walked to the dining room.
###Meanwhile…with the camera maniac and the brainiac###
Tomoyo had already fixed the outfits for her friends and Henry's, she only needed hers and Takato, she will do Takato's outfit later, for now it will be better if she follows Henry, but now she noticed that Sakura has been to quiet, and kinda dreamy.
'What's up with her' Tomoyo wondered looking at Sakura, who when noticed that Tomoyo was looking at her as if she was crazy, blushed and sweat dropped.
"We should go to eat lunch, I'm starving" Naoko said and all of them nodded.
"Did you know that the expression 'I'm starving' comes from an…" Yamazaki said but as usual Chiharu grabbed him by the ear pulling him away from the others yelling "Lies, lies is all you can say" the rest of them sweat dropped at this.
###At The Dining Room###
Takato and Rika were had just got there and took a seat in front of each other avoiding eye contact.
Henry and the CCs gang (for short) entered the dining room to, Henry saw at Takato and Rika and, again, decided to leave them alone, Tomoyo was about to go, not wanting get her plans ruined but Naoko asked them to seat with them and since Sakura agreed, she went with them, Henry followed them, or more like Tomoyo dragged him.
'What one does for friends' Henry thought as he let Tomoyo drag him.
Rika and Takato eat at silence, there were moments when the goggle-head tried to say something but then stopped himself and continued eating, same with Rika, and from afar Henry and Tomoyo keep an eye on them, Henry cursing every time that they stopped them selves from talking, and Tomoyo cheering every time that happened, thinking that Sakura has a chance now, but then again, Sakura has been acting weird lately, after she got that letter.
(Lets jump time to the play, just a short briefing about what happened after the lunch time)
After the finish their lunch, Celes called them to have another rehearsal, Rika, not being in the play, left to her room, in there she thought in a way of confessing her feeling to the goggle-head. After the rehearsal, Tomoyo asked Takato to stay and let her do his outfit, Henry stayed to watch what was Tomoyo planning to do, Sakura stayed a while, talking with Takato while Tomoyo was fixing his outfit, but after a while she decided to take a walk, she needed to think, then Henry decided to put his plan in action, it was the perfect moment, Sakura away from Tomoyo, meaning that Tomoyo wouldn't be able to try to pair them up, since she was to occupied making the Hero's outfit, and Sakura was walking around there, he left, Tomoyo tried to stop him but her liking for making this outfits got her and continued with her work, since tomorrow morning will be the last rehearsal.
The next morning Henry was smirking for an unknown reason, what make Tomoyo feel uneasy, however, the last rehearsal went very good, then lunch came and again, Takato and Rika seat alone, but now Takato had found a topic of conversation with her, and it was why was she her in this camp, her answer, her mother wanted her to make new friends, then their conversation turned at what their parent make them do, which believed or not make the D.I.Q. smile at Takato, Henry, again, just watched from afar, the same that Tomoyo, but she wasn't as happy as Henry. After lunch, they went to prepare for the play.
(End of the not so short briefing, now let go with the play)
The scenery was set, now that it was night, with the help of some kids were controlling the lights, to illuminate the scenery and the characters. Everyone was getting ready, Takato looked at the crowd, looking for Rika, but she was no where to be found, this make Takato a little sad.
"Ok, everyone lets start with this" Celes said and everyone got to their respective places.
The crowd grow quiet, and the curtain opened, the background was a castle in a green valley, then the narrator (Naoko) says:
Long, long time ago. An evil shadow appeared over the peaceful Kingdom of Galgia.
Princess Rose was just kidnapped by the Evil Dragon King, Valvados.
What will become of her?
Just then, the legendary Hero, Alfred, appears!!!
Takato enters running to scene, he turns to look at the public and he frozes forgetting his dialogs.
The knight walks in and says "Oh….you must be the legendary Hero…Alfred!"
Takato looks confused, he still doesn't remember his dialogs, and Yamazaki the supposed Knight sounds weird.
The knight whispers to him "Hey, is you line"
Takato looks at the knight and then points to himself, still confused.
The knight nods and says "Yeah, you…ahem….you must be the legendary Hero…Alfred! I know it in my soul, please…please save Princess Rose. Now talk to the King!!!"
The King (Chiharu) enters to scene and Takato runs to him/her.
The King looks at him and says "Oh…legendary Hero Alfred. You have come to save my beloved Rose" the King rest a hand on Takato's shoulder and says "On the peak of the dangerous mountain…dwells the Evil Dragon King, Valvados….who's kidnapped Princess Rose" then the King takes his/her hand of Takato's shoulder and says "But you can't beat the Evil Dragon King now!!!" he points towards the knight and says "Talk to the one who can help you!!"
In that moment, the wizard (Henry) enters to scene and looks at Takato.
'Who was I supposed to talk to? I think it was to Henry' Takato thought as he ran to the wizard.
The wizard smiles and says "I am the great wizard, Vorman. What do you wish to know?"
'What was I supposed to ask?' Takato thought and then he decided to ask "Could you tell me the Evil Dragon King's weakness"
The wizard nods and says "Ahh, the weakness of the Evil Dragon King. It must be, it must be….Yes it must be….true love! (-_-;;;) The power of love… (-_-;;;;;;;;;). Is the only weapon that can withstand the fangs of the Evil Dragon King..!!!"
The wizard turns to look up and says "Oh what is going to happen next!! Oh legendary Hero look!!"
The Evil Dragon King appears like flying, with the help of ropes, and is carrying the Princess Rose (Sakura).
The Evil Dragon King "lands" and says "I am the Evil Dragon King…Valvados!! I have not harmed the Princess…I have expecting…you!!"
The Princess looks at Takato and says "Please help me…legendary Hero"
The Evil Dragon King releases the grip on the Princess' arms and says "Here I come, legendary Hero…Alfred!! I already know your name!"
Then the wizard takes a step forward and says "And now…legendary Hero…here is what will happen to your beloved…A kiss!! The power of true love!!! (-_-;;;;;)"
Takato is to nervous now, and forgetting even more what he must do, while Henry thought 'I hope this works, if not, Rika will kill me'
Takato turn to look at Henry, as if asking for help, Henry smiles and mutters something, Takato, is confused by this, but nods, and then walks to the Evil Dragon King, kneels in one knee and kiss the hand (paw?) of the Evil Dragon King, the lights went off and when the lights went on again, in the place of the Evil Dragon King was Rika dresses as a Princess too (Terriermon: You didn't saw that coming, did ya?), Takato blushed madly and the crowd went wild, the rest of the characters of the play as well as Celes were shocked, except Henry who was smiling, his plan was a success, to bad that he had to look Tomoyo in the dress room and now she didn't see his triumph.
Rika smiles at Takato and says "Thank you…You've released me…from the spell and I'm back to my normal self"
The King, to continue with was supposed, says "Oh..look!! Love has triumphed…now let's all return…and celebrate.
The wizard smiles and says "Yes let's" while the knight stays where he is.
Now everyone but the princess and the knight leaves the scene, the knight walks to the Princess who is to shocked what with just happened, to notice the knight now steeping in front of her, he takes out his helmet and (Kero: Duuunduuuunduuuunnnnnn…..the return of the Chinese gaki. Terriermon: That's for the S&S fans) revels that he is no other than the Chinese gaki a.k.a. Syaoran. He took her hands in his (Kero: The gaki been sensitive).
The narrator started to talk again and said "Oh, how profound the power of love…and so the legendary Hero Alfred and….our story live on happily ever after"
***********************************
Freak: So, what do you think?
MMX2: Does this counts like a cliffhanger?
Aerisakura: Thanks for reading.
Terriermon: I don't think that the D.I.Q. would want to kill you guys now.
Kero: Well, for a moment there, I would have killed you if you leaved my mistress like that, alone in the scenery and all.
Aerisakura: Well, someone asked us to make Syaoran appear on the fic, and this was the perfect opportunity.
MMX2: Yeah, in this way, Rika is a Princess too and she ends with her goggle-head and Sakura stays with Syaoran.
Freak: If you wondered who sent that letter to Sakura, by now you must have already guessed that it was Syaoran who sent that letter to her…or maybe was her brother saying that the gaki wanted to see her…you decide.
Aerisakura: Hope you have liked this, now please review.
Freak: And by the way, about our FF7 Fic, we already have at Yuffie and Jessie, thanks to those who asked for those parts.
