Christmas Break Diary Chapter 9 = A Daring and Truthful Christmas
Everyone woke up to the noise of Jeri jingling Christmas bells. It was around the afternoon on Christmas day. Everyone decided to sleep in because pretty much everybody besides Jeri had a head ache from her squeaky yelling.
" What time is it?" Kenta asked sleepily.
" Sometime in the afternoon." Jeri said happily.
" IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kazu yelled.
" Hooray." Rika said sarcastically. Rika wasn't happy at all. Not one bit. She hated Christmas more than anything. She just wished the day would disappear and never come back, even after she departed from Earth forever. She didn't want to feel the pain anymore.
" Oh come on Rika. Today is joy! Wouldn't you want to be happy?" Henry asked.
" No." Rika said dully.
" Wika, will you mawwy Henwy so you can be muy sistur?" Suzie asked. (I know Suzie is 11 or 12 in my story, but lets leave her the same age she was in the episodes. Around 5 or 6.)
" Suzie!" Henry said." You shouldn't ask people those questions!" Henry began to blush. He would have agreed to that in an instant. He did like Rika. A whole lot more that a friend too.
So, a few hours later, everyone was ready to have fun and open gifts. ( This is important! Pretend that there is only one Erik! I am lazy to go look and see which Erik is which. Only ONE Erik) Erik was sitting next to Henry and Suzie. Lacey and Ryo walked over to the same corner they were in yesterday. Rika, Kay, and Hollie were sitting at a table with drinks. Jeri, Takato, and Jay were at a different table with drinks. And Kazu and Kenta were sitting by the largest Christmas tree.
" Who's going to open the first present?" Jeri asked cheerfully.
" Ooooooo!!!!! PICK MEEEEEEE!" Kazu screamed out.
" Ummm, I'll say… Rika! You go first." Jeri said totally ignoring Kazu jumping up and down yelling "pick me, pick me"
" Do I have to?" Rika whined.
" Oh come on Rika. Don't be such a little pathetic whiney baby." Lacey said. Lacey then started to mimic Rika. " Oh, do I have to? Please! Not me! I can't take it! I don't want to open presents! Plaese Jeri! Not me!" Rika got pissed off. So what she hated opening presents. That's when Lacey got her first present of the day. Rika walked over to Lacey and punched on her right eye.
" Oh. I guess I didn't get the first present. Merry Christmas Lacey." Rika said, then walked back to her table. Lacey got a black eye. She deserves it too. No one should mess around with Rika.
" Rika! Why did you do that?! She's like, the hottest girl ever!" Kazu yelled.
" Oh shut up Visor Brain." Rika said.
Everyone tried to ignore what just happened, and get on with the day. Trying to make it happy and joyful. They were down to one present left, it was about eight at night. It took so long because Jeri bought lots of presents for everyone. She probably spent over 5,000 dollars. Also because Kazu put too much tape on the presents he wrapped. Each present probably had three rolls of scotch tape on them. The last present was for Rika. A present from Ryo Akiyama. The guy she thinks she loves.
Ryo walked up to Rika and handed her a small present wrapped with light shiny blue wrapping paper with a golden bow on the top. " Here Rika. It's for you. Hope you like it." Ryo said trying to avoid eye contact with her.
" Uh, yeah, thanks Akiyama." Rika took the present. She didn't want to open it, so she put it in her bag.
" Now that we are FINALLY done! Lets play a game!" Hollie said with a large smile on her pretty girly face.
" Yeah! I agree!" Said Kay sitting down on the floor.
Everyone sat down on the red carpet floor. Everyone sat in a large circle waiting for somebody to pick a game to play for a few hours.
" Lets play Monopoly!" Kazu blurted out.
" No! That's too boring!" Kenta said," Chess is way better. We'll have to take turns though. It's a two player game."
" I am NOT going to play chess!" Rika screamed.
" Okaw. Ummmm, wet's pway Simon Says!" Suzie said with delight.
" Suzie, lets pass on that one. Its too babyish. Maybe you should head off to bed." Henry told his little sister.
" Oh, fine." Suzie said, walking off to a different room. " Can I stay up and pway a video game Henwy?"
" Sure." Henry said. So Suzie walked off.
" I know! Lets play Truth or Dare." Lacey suggested.
" Yeah, lets play that game." Ryo agreed.
" Everyone agree to it?" Jeri asked. There were soon "yes"'s and "Sure"s and "okay"s in the room. " Alright! Lets play Truth or Dare!"
" I'll go first since I thought of it." Lacey said.
" Okay." Jeri answered.
" Kazu, truth or dare?" Lacey asked.
" Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….."
~~~10 minutes later~~~
"…ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… I pick Dare!" Kazu said.
" I dare you to kiss Kenta!" Lacey said starting to laugh hard. Everyone in the room started laughing besides Kazu and Kenta. Kazu did what he was dared. He walked over to Kenta, and kissed him on his cheek. The laughter grew louder.
" Ewwww!!!! Kazu and Kenta are gay!" Hollie screamed out.
" *laugh* Kazu, your turn." Ryo said.
" You may look like an angel Lacey, but you sure have the heart of a devil." Kazu said wiping his lips.
" Thank you Kazu!" Lacey said.
" Ummmmmmm, Takato! Truth or dare?" Kazu asked.
" Dare." Takato answered.
" I dare you to…umm… oh! Chew my gum that's in my mouth!" Kazu said. Everyone started laughing again.
" Your gross Kazu!" Takato said.
" Fine. Be a chicken!" Kazu said.
" I'll do it! I'm not afraid!" Takato took the chewed gum from Kazu's hand and started chewing it.
" Yuk!" Kay said.
" I think I'm gonna hurl!" Jay said covering up his mouth.
" Can I spit it out now?!" Takato asked. His face was turning green. He kept wondering how old the gum was. How long has Kazu been chewing it.
" Not until the game is over." Kazu said with a smirk.
" Oh great!" Takato said sarcastically.
" Your turn Takato." Henry said.
" Okay. Hollie. Truth or dare?" Takato asked.
" I pick truth." Hollie said sweetly.
" How much do you like Kazu?" Takato asked.
" Just great. When I decide to keep it a secret you ask me this?! *sigh* Fine. I really really like Kazu." Hollie said. Kazu dozed off. He couldn't believe it. He never even knew that Hollie liked him.
" You're sooooo mean Takato!" Hollie said.
" KENTA! GET YOUR FIBGERS OUT OF THE CAKE!" Jeri screamed.
" Sorry!" Kenta said taking his hand out of the cake.
" I'm not going to eat that cake." Rika said looking disgusted.
" Okay, truth or dare Jeri?" Hollie asked.
" Um, dare." Jeri picked.
" I dare you to take off your shirt and leave it off until the game is over!" Hollie said evilly.
" Do I really have to?" Jeri asked.
" Yes." Hollie said. Jeri took off her shirt. Poor Takato. He could do nothing but look at Jeri.
" Kay, truth or dare?" Jeri asked.
" Since I don't want anything like that happening to me, I'll pick truth." Kay answered.
" Okay, is it true that you went to Jay's house for the night? Alone?" Jeri asked while her evil smile grew bigger and bigger after each word she had said.
Kay bit her bottom lip. " Uh. Yes." Kay said quietly. The whole house was filled with laughs. After everything calmed down, Kay took her turn.
" Rika, truth or dare?" Kay asked.
" I'll pick dare." Rika answered.
" Uh…I dare you to go topless just like Jeri!" Kay said.
" What!?" Rika screamed.
" Oh, I'd love to see Rika go topless!" Kazu yelled out. He shouldn't have said that.
" Why you little pervert!" Rika yelled. Takato and Jeri made sure Rika didn't go beat up Kazu.
" Just do it." Kay said." You picked dare, so you have to do it."
" Or are you scared?" Lacey said.
" Lacey stop. Don't be so rude." Ryo said.
" I don't need you standing up for me Akiyama." Rika said as she glared at Ryo. That's when Ryo noticed it. Rika still had that necklace he gave her all those years ago.
" So Rika. Do your dare." Jay said.
" Fine! Why do most of the guys in here want me to do it anyways?!" Rika asked as she took off her shirt.
" They like you." Jeri said. All the guys besides Takato was looking at Rika.
" STOP LOOKING AT ME!" Rika screamed. It didn't really work. "Ugh, never mind. Kenta! Truth or dare?"
" Uh, I pick dare." Kenta said.
" I dare you to get contacts and never wear those goofy glasses again!" Rika said. She meant it too. He looked really dorky.
" Awww! But I love these!" Kenta said.
" Oh come on Kenta! Just do the dare!" Erik said.
" Fine. When this is over I'll tell my mother." Kenta said.
" Your turn Kenta." Jay said.
" Okay, um, Ryo. Dare or truth?" Kenta asked.
" Its truth or dare you geek head!" Rika scolded.
"Fine, truth or dare?" Kenta asked.
" Um, dare." Ryo answered.
" Um… Oh, I dare you to French kiss Rika!" Kenta said.
" WHAT?! I don't want him to kiss me! I'd rather go topless for the rest of the time we're here!" Rika yelled out.
" Oh come Rika. It won't mean anything." Ryo said.
Rika thought for a minute. She didn't want to kiss him…right? She does, but doesn't.
" Oh, fine Akiyama. Only if it doesn't mean anything I guess it'd be ok." Rika said. So Ryo walked over to Rika and he came closer and closer to her. A few seconds later their lips met. Rika opened her mouth a little to let Ryo's tongue explore the inside of her mouth.
' I can't believe I'm doing this. Why do I feel all happy and warm? Why do I feel like being nice for the rest of my entire life? Can it be? Do I really love this boy whose tongue is in my mouth this very second?' Rika thought.
It had been a few minutes and they were still kissing.
" Ahem… you guys?" Jeri said trying to interrupt them.
" They didn't have to kiss that long." Kenta said.
" TELL THEM TO STOP! RYO'S MY MAN!" Lacey screamed. She didn't want to see Ryo and Rika kissing anymore.
" Lacey! I think they love each other." Kay said happily.
" No! He doesn't lover her! He told me he loved me!" Lacey said.
" Oh shut up Lacey! For once try and be nice to Rika." Henry said. He didn't like Rika kissing Ryo either, but he knew Rika loved Ryo. Ever since they first met.
" Maybe we should continue this game tomorrow night. It's getting late anyways." Jeri said as she put her shirt back on. Takato spit out the nasty gum and kissed Jeri good night.
