Cruising the Caribbean

By Fiery-chan and Angel13.

A/N: Oh joy, Angel left off at the truth or dare part. This is going to be fun.

Fire: Especially watching you torture them all.

Fiery: I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Note to Takato Matsuki: we're going to use your idea, but tweak it a little. If we used yours, Jeri might pose as a problem. But don't worry, I'll try to bring Takato into the story during this chapter. Now then, I'll get right into it. On with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I've had complaints because I've put away my sarcastic disclaimers. I never knew that anyone read them. So, I own digimon! Akiyoshi Hongo is in my closet along with all of the other hostages I have out in there over the years. Of course, I supply them with the three "p"s. Pizza, pop, and poker chips. LOL. And I also own the ocean in Kansas along with the help of my dear friend and partner in crime, Angel13. Bidding begins at $1000.

Chapter 17: Truth or Dare. (What an "original" title. I bet you never saw his one coming.)

"So who's going to go first?" Rika asked, leaning against Ryo's bed.

"I will." Emily said. "But is anyone actually going to pick truth? Or are we all going to do dare?"

"Depends." Henry replied.

"Ok then, let's get this party started! Truth or dare Ryo?" Emily asked.

"Crap, I knew I would be asked first. Um dare, I guess." Ryo replied. Emily gave an evil smirk.

"Ryo's in for it now." Evan said. "I've played enough "truth or dare" games with Em and our friends to know that she's going to do something evil. That's the evil smirk."

"Damn." Ryo replied.

"Ok, Ryo. For your dare, you have to; damn I'm not coming up with anything good! Oh well, you have to do your Elvis dance." Emily said. "Jeez, that sucked." Ryo laughed.

"That I can do." Emily turned on the cd player and the music started playing, with Ryo dancing just like he did in chapter 15. (Hehe!)

When the song ended, Ryo sat down again.

"So that's what you guys do when we split up." Takato said. "Very interesting."

"Now then, this is payback Kila. Truth or dare?" Ryo asked.

"Dare, duh." Kila replied.

"Bwahaha! You're going to regret that! For your dare, you have to pretend to hit on Evan for exactly sixty seconds. Pretend to be madly in love with him. Sit in his lap, touch him, everything." Kila made a face of disgust.

"Can I just gag myself instead? The result will be the same and it will be a lot less humiliating."

"Nope. Get ready, your dare begins, now!" Ryo started counting to sixty, as Kila fulfilled the dare. Everyone was laughing hysterically, even Henry.

"I actually pity Evan." Rika said when the sixty seconds were over. Kila through a pillow at her head.

"Pick on Ryo day has just switched to pick on Rika day!" She cried attacking her with every pillow in sight. "Those were the longest sixty seconds of my life."

"It could have been worse." Emily said.

"How?" Kila asked.

"Ryo could have had you hit on another girl."

"Ew!" Kila shrieked as the others made disgusted faces.

"Hmm, why didn't I think of that?" Ryo asked himself aloud.

"Whatever it's my turn now. Ok Rika truth or dare?" Kila asked.

"No matter which way I go, I know what you're going to make me do. But I'll go with dare."

"Good. Now then, I could have you make out with Ryo but there are children in the room." Kila said, meaning Kazu and Jodie because of the video game incident earlier. "So instead, you're going to be a model for all of us. And you'll be modeling whatever Jeri has that's pink and poofy with lots of ribbons, bows, and lace."

"You know, these dares really suck." Rika said as Kila led her into the other room. Rika emerged later in a pink dress with flowers and bows and everything feminine. "Yuck." Kila had also put her hair in pigtails with two ribbons. "Ok, I've modeled, now I'm going to get back into my regular clothes."

"Not yet!" Kila pulled out a camera and took a dozen pictures.

"Your mom is going to love these!" Jeri said.

"And I want those blown up poster size and displayed all over school." Ryo said.

"Don't tempt me Akiyama!" Rika cried, getting ready to pounce on Ryo.

"Ok Rika, you can get changed now." Kila said. Rika sighed and quickly got back into her clothes.

"Now it's my turn. Truth or dare Henry?" Rika asked, once back in her original clothes.

"I'll be daring and pick truth." Henry said with a laugh.

"No offence Henry, but that joke just sucked." Evan said.

"Agreed. Ok now, your question how much do you like Kila?" Rika asked.

"Didn't see this one coming." Henry said, turning red. "A lot, I guess."

"And how much is a lot?" Rika asked.

"Rika, he answered the question, that's it, it's over." Ryo said, saving his friend from the humiliation.

"Ok then my turn. Truth or dare Takato?" Henry asked.

"Um, truth." Takato replied.

"Ok, what exactly did you say to Jeri on the train ride to Motsumoto?"

"I told her how much I really cared about her and how sad it was seeing her like that and how I felt terrible even bringing her to the digital world because I thought it was all my fault." Takato said.

"Aww Takato, you're so sweet!" Jeri cried, hugging her boyfriend. Rika smiled.

"Wait, digital world?" Emily asked.

"Oops, forgot about Evan and Emily." Takato said. "We'll explain some other time if we feel like it."

"Ok." Emily replied. "But I won't let you forget."

"Now whose turn is it?" Takato asked. "Oh yeah, mine. So who's the next victim? Kazu!"

"Yeah chumley? I pick dare."

"Ok, I dare you to give up video games and digimon cards for the rest of the trip."

"Man Takato, and I thought Kila's dare was stupid. This one takes the cake." Rika said.

"And that's a good thing because it's easy. I accept your dare chumley!" Kazu added.

"Now it's your turn." Rika said.

"Aware of it. Truth or dare Kenta Kitagawa?" Kazu asked.

"Truth."

"Ok then, what's the most you've ever done with a girl?" Kazu asked. "Even though I already know the answer."

"I held hands with a girl on a school trip in kindergarten." Kenta replied sheepishly.

"That's really pitiful Kenta." Rika said.

"Hey! Ok my turn, truth or dare Jeri."

"Dare." Jeri replied.

"Fine, I dare you to skip your turn." Kenta said. Jeri glared at him.

"That was cruel." Jeri replied.

"Kazu taught me that one. Now then, truth or dare Jodie."

"Truth." Jodie replied.

"Good, for your truth, you have to tell us what you and Kazu have been up to whenever you two are alone."

"Stupid. We play video games, watch tv, and we went to the spa once, courtesy of Rika and Ryo." Jodie replied.

"Well then that's everyone." Emily said.

"Nope, Jodie has to ask you." Evan replied.

"Darn, I was hoping no one would remember." Emily said.

"I'll make it an easy one if you pick dare." Jodie said.

"Fine, dare." Emily replied.

"I dare you to pick the next game." Jodie replied with a laugh.

"Easy. Spin the bottle. But there are rules. Fifteen seconds if it's the opposite gender ten if it's the same. And you have to be at a good angle from the camera so we can take lots of pictures." Emily said pulling out a water bottle. "So who goes first?"

"I will. Nothing to lose but my dignity." Evan said. He spun the bottle. And it landed on, Ryo. "Ryo!?! Crap, this just isn't fair." Evan whined.

"No one said you had to go first." Ryo replied. "You spun so you're starting it."

"Fine." Evan grumbled and crawled over to Ryo from his position on the floor.

"On the count of three pure gay pleasures will abound for ten, count them, ten seconds! One, two three!" Kila cried. Evan leaned in and pulled away.

"I can't! I can't even get within six inches of his face without getting sick!" He cried.

"Just do it already!" Kila yelled. Evan sighed and kissed Ryo for ten very long seconds. As soon as it was over, the two boys jerked apart and wiped their mouths off.

"Oh gross!" Ryo whined. "That was terrible."

"And I stopped laughing long enough to take a bunch of pictures!" Kila cried holding up a camera.

"Damn you." Evan growled. He returned to his seat and crossed his arms. "Who's next?" He asked.

"I'll go." Ryo said, spinning the bottle. "I'll do anything to get rid of the taste of Evan." He spun the bottle and it landed on Rika. Rika quickly darted her eyes away, and thought of anything to get rid of the blush. 'A freezer, flowers, pink things…'

"Well, let's get this started you two. Fifteen seconds now." Kila said, getting her camera ready. Rika sighed and turned to Ryo.

"C'mon pumpkin, it won't be that bad. Besides, we've already done it before." Ryo said.

"What!?!" Kazu, Kenta, Jodie, Jeri, and Takato cried.

"Oh right, they weren't there." Kila said. "Don't worry, we have pictures. Now get it over with you two." Ryo leaned in, kissing Rika on the lips and holding it there for fifteen seconds, trying hard not to make it too passionate.

When the time ended, he held it a second longer before pulling away. Everyone noticed the additional time. Emily smiled and Jeri gave a big "Aww."

"Ok, who's next?" Rika asked, once her face had returned to normal color.

"I'll go." Emily said. She spun the bottle. "Ew!!!! No way! That totally goes overboard!" Emily's spin had landed on Evan.

"I'll say it does. That's just gross." Evan replied.

"It was your game." Rika said.

"Damn, next time I suggest a game for the evening's activities, just shoot me."

"Gladly." Kila said with a laugh. Emily threw a pillow at her.

"Ok now, we're mature here right Evan?"

"No!" Evan cried.

"But relatives kiss each other all the time. We can do this."

"Yeah, but not on the lips, not for fifteen seconds, and not when they're so close in age!" Evan whined.

"Shut up you big baby and just kiss your cousin." Kila said. Evan grumbled and kissed Emily for exactly fifteen seconds and not a millisecond more.

"Aww how cute, family love." Rika said sarcastically. Evan glared at her but laughed.

'Can't stay mad at her for long, can you Evan?' He asked himself. 'Don't fall in love with her buddy or the pretty boy boyfriend will whoop you good.' He sighed and resumed play.

"Who's up next?" He asked.

"I'll go." Henry replied. He spun the bottle and it landed in Kila. He leaned in and kissed her trying hard not to make it too passionate. Kisses like those would be saved for private times. When the time ended, he pulled away and saw how lit up Kila's eyes were. He couldn't help but smile.

Takato reached forward and spun the bottle. H sighed a deep sigh of relief. He was fortunate enough to have to bottle land on Jeri. He grinned and kissed her, just like any old day. When their fifteen seconds were up, Kenta spun.

"Dude! You have the worst luck in the world!" Kazu said. This was because the bottle had landed on him.

"C'mon it won't be that bad." Rika said. Kazu glared at her.

"Fine but I'm not starting it." Kazu said. Kenta grumbled and kissed his friend for ten seconds. When he was done, Kazu gagged. "Where the hell is the mouthwash?" He asked.

"Top shelf in the cabinet above the sink." Henry replied. Kazu raced off and gargled with mouthwash. When he finished, he returned and sat down.

"Gah, that was terrible. You're next Jodie." He said. Jodie spun and the bottle landed on Kazu. "Thank god." He grumbled. Jodie kissed him, trying hard to avoid the temptation of running her fingers through his hair. She pulled away at the end and returned to her seat.

"Up next shall be Jeri." Henry said. Jeri spun and the bottle landed on Kila.

"Ew!" Both girls cried at once. The boys roared with laughter.

"Now you get to see what it's like to kiss someone who's the same sex as you." Kazu said. "It ain't a pleasurable experience."

"Aw man, this is gross, disgusting, revolting, it's just plain icky!" Jeri cried.

"Don't worry Kila, she's a good kisser." Takato said. Jeri blushed, then threw a pillow at him.

"Let's just get it over with." Kila said.

"On the count of three pure lesbian delights will abound for ten, count them, ten seconds!" Evan cried, mimicking Kila from before. "One, two three!" Kila and Jeri leaned into each other and kissed for ten seconds. When it was over, they both pulled away gagging and making faces.

"Ugh, that was terrible!" Jeri cried.

"Yeah, I know. Ok Rika your turn." Rika spun the bottle and gasped when it landed. Ryo and Emily gasped too. Kila couldn't stop laughing. It had landed on Evan.

"Aw man." Rika cried. "Not cool." Evan sighed.

"Let's just get it over with Rika." He said trying not to sound excited. Rika moaned and kissed him.

'Oh my god! Rika's kissing me! Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod!' Evan was screaming inside his head. Rika pulled away when Emily called time.

"Ew." Rika replied. "Let's never do that again."

"Agreed." Evan said. He returned to his seat but not before giving a wink to Rika. Rika didn't see it though. However, Ryo did. He tensed up and took a deep breath.

"Calm down. You'll cause a scene." Emily whispered to her friend. Ryo nodded and slumped back down.

"I'll go next." Kazu said. He spun the bottle and it landed on Jeri. "Dude! I will not kiss my best friend's girlfriend. That's like Jerry Springer material." Rika laughed.

"C'mon Kazu, pucker up!" She said. Kazu groaned and shot a glance at Takato.

"You don't need my permission, it's only a game." Takato said.

"Yeah but still dude, this is just too much." Kazu replied.

"Just get it over with so I can spin and we can end this game." Kila said. Kazu took a deep breath and kissed Jeri for the fifteen seconds that the kiss was allowed.

"Man my conscience is screaming right now." Kazu said.

"You have a conscience?" Rika asked.

"Hardy, har, har, Rika. Very funny." Kazu replied. "Now it's your turn Kila." Kila nodded and spun the bottle.

"Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Pinch me, I'm having a nightmare." Kila said for the bottle was pointing directly at Ryo.

"Funny, we're having the same nightmare." He said.

"Ok this just sucks completely." Kila said.

"C'mon you two, pucker up!" Emily said.

"He's a good kisser Kila, I swear!" Rika said with a laugh. This caused Ryo to blush a deep shade of red.

"Ok Ryo, let's get this over with." Kila said. She quickly leaned in and kissed Ryo as Emily counted to fifteen. She pulled away as soon as it was over and gagged. "That was as bad as kissing Jeri!" She said.

"It was no where near as bad as kissing Evan. Nothing, not even kissing you, is that bad." Ryo replied.

"Hey! I resent that. I'm a good kisser, right Rika?" Evan asked.

"Yeah, whatever." Rika replied, rolling her eyes.

"Well even if we didn't enjoy tonight's festivities, the developers at the photo shop sure will." Emily said.

"I'll say." Rika replied. "They'll make us pay extra for having them bust a gut."

"They wouldn't do that, would they?" Kenta asked.

"Baka." Kazu grumbled, hitting him with a pillow. "Let's order smoothies to get rid of the accursed taste of each other."

"Good idea." Henry replied. They called room service and ordered eleven smoothies.

"I'll be on the deck, call me when they come." Rika said, walking out.

*****

Rika looked out at the water and smiled. It was so peaceful on this island. She leaned against the bar and watched as the marine life swam by the boat. She stretched and gave a big yawn. All the activities from the day had worn her out. Rika felt a tap on her shoulder, and she spun around, tripping and landing on top of whoever tapped her.

"Evan! Don't you know you shouldn't sneak up on people?" Rika asked, when she saw who she had fallen on.

"Sorry, I came to get you. The smoothies are here and they look really good." Evan said, taking her hand and pulling her up. Rika smiled.

"Good, I'm starving." She replied.

"Then let's go!" Evan cried, throwing an arm around her shoulder. Rika groaned and pulled his arm off her.

"Don't even think about it Cole." She replied.

"Your call, queeny." Evan said. Rika sighed and hit him lightly.

"Baka." She muttered.

"Sometimes it's fun to be the idiot of the group." Evan replied.

"Whatever." Rika said.

"So, did you enjoy our little kiss?" Evan asked.

"It's not something I'd do everyday." Rika replied. "It's not something I would do outside of a game either."

"Oh, ok then." Evan replied. "Are you sure?"

"Very sure Evan." Rika replied. Evan sighed.

"It's your call." Evan then did something very spontaneous. He kissed Rika on the lips very quickly; unaware that Ryo was a few feet ahead and had a clear view of the entire thing. Ryo did happen to see the entire thing and had to work hard to control himself from either screaming, throwing something, or attacking Evan. He took a deep breath and tried to ignore it. Ryo closed his eyes but jerked them back open when the image replayed in his mind. He took a sip of his smoothie and waited for them to walk up.

"What was that for?" Rika asked, putting her hand to her cheek.

"Because I felt like it." Evan replied, heading into the cabin. "Hey Ryo." He said as he passed the now fuming teen.

Rika sighed and stood next to Ryo.

"You look tense." She said to him.

"I'm fine." Ryo replied sharply, turning and heading inside, closing the door behind him.

"What did I do now?" Rika asked herself. She slapped herself mentally when the realization sunk in. "Did he see Evan kiss me?"

A/N: Payback Angel! You made me do that truth or dare scene, now I'm making you pick up from here! Bwahahahaha! I'm so evil at times.

Fire: You follow in my footsteps so well.

Fiery: Yeah well I always do as my master does.

Fire: Yeah right.

Fiery: Review please!

Luv'n'stuff!
