"I'm Richard and I'm six," the little boy said, holding up 6 fingers, "my mommy is Riley and my daddy is Yamaki. They said that they helped you get out of the Digital World."
"Wow, no wonder you looked so familiar. You know for a six year old, you know a lot of vocabulary," Rika said, stooping down to his height.
Richard smiled showing his two missing front teeth.
"I get it from my dad, I think," he said, putting the papers down and looked at Rika.
"That sounds pretty reasonable," Rika said.
"So, do you like him, Rika?" Richard said, looking at her, curiously.
"What do you mean? Who's 'him'?" Rika asked, wondering who he was talking about.
"Mr. Akiyama. Do you like him?" Richard asked, walking over to Rika.
"What is it to you, Richard?" Rika retorted.
"Just asking. Whenever I saw him, he used to talk about you; how a great person you were, how much you loved to fight, and a lot of other stuff," Richard said.
There was a slight pause. Rika and Richard kept on exchanging glances at each other. Then, a distant person was heard saying, "Richard! Where are you!"
As soon as that was heard, a young lady, about Rika's age, with blonde, shoulder length hair walked in.
"Alice?" Rika said, at the first sight of her.
"Huh? Do I know you?" the lady asked.
"Ms. McCourt, that's Rika. Don't you remember her?" little Richard asked, tugging on Alice's shirt.
"Rika? Is that really you?" Alice asked.
"Yup, up and living," Rika said, "I've been in America for the past seven years."
"America? I loved it there when I went with my dad," Alice said.
"Yeah, great place," Rika said.
"Well, Yamaki wants Richard to come back to headquarters, so…"
"No, wait, I have to finish putting these up," Richard said, picking up the pile of papers and starts to hang them.
"Okay," Alice said, walking over to Rika.
The two of them talked for a few minutes before another voice was heard.
"Hey, Yamaki and Riley are getting worried, you two," a man said, as he stepped into the hideout.
Rika looked at him and then remembered, he was the man that she first met on the train. He turned to her and stared for a few moments.
"You look familiar," he said.
"Of course she looks familiar, Henry. She's Rika," Alice said, acting like she knew it all.
"Rika's dead, Ms. I-Think-Know-It-All," Henry said.
"No, I'm not. I'm here, in person. I was in America," Rika said.
"I can recognize that voice anywhere. It really is Rika," Henry said.
"Rika? Where?" said a green and white rabbit-like creature.
"Terriermon!" Richard said, running over to him.
Terriermon looked around in the hideout. It's been a while since he's been in here again.
"You really fixed this place up, Richard," Terriermon said, looking around some more.
Rika watched him as he walked around.
'I wish I could see Renamon again,' she thought.
Then Terriermon's eyes met Rika's.
"Ahh…she's really back! And I thought she was gone for good! Now she's come back to haunt me!" Terriermon said, hiding behind Henry's leg.
"Tact, Terriermon. Tact," Henry said.
"Man, after all these years, he still doesn't understand the meaning of that word, does he?" Rika said, chuckling a little.
Henry smiled, and said, "Well, whether Terriermon likes it or not, it's good to see you again."
"Thanks," Rika said.
"Richard, are you done yet? We really should be going before your parents get mad at both of us," Alice said.
"Coming," Richard said, "I'll see you later, Rika," as he waved good-bye and ran to catch up with a Alice and Henry.
Meanwhile…
Ryo searched across the city for Rika. Whenever he asked someone if they have seen her, they'd just say something like, "You crazy? She's dead," or "Who are you talking about?"
Ryo decided to rest, on a bench in the park. With cold sweat running down the side of his face, he leaned back, hoping Rika would be okay.
'Rika, wherever you are, I hope you don't get yourself in trouble,' Ryo thought, standing back up to resume the search.
Back to Rika…
Rika got up and looked around the hideout some more.
'Wow, he really did fix this place up,' Rika said, looking around.
She walked around until she stepped on soft ground. She knelt down and dug up whatever was buried there. To her surprise, it was a box full of Digimon cards.
"I bet Richard got these cards from Takato," Rika said, looking at the various cards in the box, "those were the days."
Rika was about to walk out when she heard a soft voice.
"Rika?" it asked.
