You Were In My Once Upon A Time
Chapter 2: Revisioning
Rika woke with a start as she shot straight up from the surface of her bed and leaned on her elbows on her mattress. "Holy crap, that has got to be a bad dream, Ryo Akiyama, the, "Legendary Tamer", coming to help me? Man, how deluded was that." Rika sighed as she got her heart rate back to normal as she looked over to her clock. It was 2:47 in the morning.
Rika woke up again, but now at 7:00, she still felt groggy from her early awakening but got up anyway and decided to walk to the kitchen where her grandmother would be. Rika got dressed quickly into her school uniform and walked to the kitchen to see her grandmother making tea over the stove. Rika walked up to her grandmother and hugged her quickly. "Good morning."
"Good morning, Rika, how are you?"
"I'm good, grandma, what's for breakfast?"
"Whatever you want, I will make it for you."
"Well, you don't have to go to all that trouble, grandma, I'll just have toast or something." Rika's grandmother carried the tea to the table and set it down on a hot pot mat, and turned to Rika and smiled her ever- warming smile.
"Alright, Rika, would you like me to get it for you?"
"No thanks, I'll get it, I'm strong enough, grandma."
"I know, Rika, I know." Her grandmother replied and left the room. Rika smiled again, it was her grandmother that gave her her courage and strength each day, and the advice from Renamon, her friends and her mother.speaking of Renamon.
"Renamon?" Rika called out and in from the shadows, Renamon appeared before Rika.
"Good morning, Rika."
"Hello, Renamon. Do you want some breakfast or something?"
"I'm quite good, actually." Renamon nodded and turned to the tea on the table. "That smells quite good, did you make it?"
"No, grandma did." Renamon nodded in approval and left the room, feeling there was nothing more to discuss with Rika at this particular moment, and Renamon always knew she could talk to Rika once she returned from school each day. With that, Rika turned and headed towards the island in the kitchen where she pulled out the toaster and started to make some toast.
After school, Rika returned home to change into her normal outfit of her white shirt with the blue sleeves and the blue heart in the middle, her yellow scarf wrapped around her neck snugly, her red shoes, her blue capris, and her red wrist cuffs. Also, since Rika felt she was on a roll, she redid her spiky ponytail. As she did this, Renamon entered the room and caught Rika's attention when Rika looked into her small mirror on her dresser. "Hi, Renamon."
"Hello, Rika. How was school?"
"Good, I guess, still boring, but it was okay."
"That's good to hear, Takato called a few minutes before you got home and he said to meet him and Henry at their school." Rika nodded as Renamon paused. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Rika smirked.
"That's okay, unless you made me miss something important, no, it's okay, Renamon." Rika quickly grabbed her D-Arc and her cards and headed to the door. "I'll talk to you later, Renamon, and come if you want to."
"Thank you for the invite."
"No problem." Rika closed the door behind her and started running towards Takato's school. She felt the wind breeze past her, it made her feel brave. She felt the sun shining on her face, it made her feel confident. She saw the atmosphere of plants and buildings before her and she wondered how she there could be so much in this world that could tear the tranquil peace apart. Like fighting, like what she and Renamon and the group did in the real world, in the Digital World to keep alive.Rika kept her head up though and kept running until she was in the school's park and she saw Terriermon, Calumon and Guilmon up ahead. Terriermon was rolling on the grass like usual and Guilmon was eating bread and balancing Calumon on his head.
"Hiya, Rika!" Calumon shouted as he jumped off Guilmon's flat head and jumped into Rika's arms. Rika caught the little guy and smiled down at him.
"Hi, Calumon. Do you know where Henry and Takato are?" She asked politely. Terriermon walked over and Guilmon scrambled over to her as well.
"Hello, Rika." Guilmon said in his scratchy dinosaur voice of his.
"Hey, Rika!" Terriermon said as he flapped his ears slightly. Rika smiled at both digimon and waved slightly.
"Hi, you guys, now, where's Takato and Henry?" She asked once again.
"They're over there, by the shadows, they must be wall roses or something." Guilmon said, Terriermon laughed.
"You mean wall flowers."
"That's what I said." Guilmon and Terriermon started fighting and Calumon looked up confusingly as Rika scanned the grounds looking for the boys. She finally found them and started heading over there when she felt a tug on her shoe. She looked down to see a saddened Calumon.
"Can't you play first?"
"I can't, but I will after I talk with Henry and Takato over there." Rika said, pointing to Takato and Henry. Calumon smiled gleefully and let go of Rika's shoe, jumping up and down.
"We can have cream puffs when you come back, too, and we can play hopscotch!" He smiled and Rika walked away, as she turned, Calumon was back to his old tricks, playing the balancing game on Guilmon's head with Terriermon. Rika ran over to the two boys leaning on the school walls up ahead.
"Hey, Rika, glad you made it." Henry said with his ever so familiar grin. Takato smiled and waved at Rika.
"Hey, Rika, I was wondering when you would show up."
"Hey, goggle-head." She teased and stood in front of them. "What's going on?" Takato looked at Henry and Henry smirked back, which left Rika slightly confused. "Somebody tell me." She said quietly.
"Well, we were wondering if you would like to come with us to this digimon tournament coming up and-"
"Scratch that, you guys!" Kazu and Jeri said from afar. The trio turned to see two urgent looking kids running their way.
"What's up?" Henry shouted to them, since the boy and girl was still half a school ground away from them.
"There's another digimon in the area and he's a tough one!" Jeri shouted. Kazu nodded in agreement.
"Where is he now?" Takato shouted back to them.
"He's in Shinjuku Park!" (Sorry, I can't remember how to spell it.) "He's terrorizing everyone down there!" Rika looked at Takato and Henry and balled a fist and brought it up to chest height.
"We're going to take this guy down!" She said in determination. "Let's go get him." The boys nodded and all three of them started running towards Jeri and Kazu. "Renamon!" Rika shouted as she was running towards Jeri and Kazu. Renamon appeared in the trees near where Guilmon, Terriermon and Calumon were still playing.
"Yes, Rika?"
"There's a new digimon that's going down, let's take care of him!" Rika shouted to her digimon partner. Renamon nodded and looked at Guilmon, Terriermon and Calumon.
"Guilmon, little rabbit-"
"I'm not a little rabbit, I'm one with attitude."
"Momentai." Guilmon said enthusiastically. Terriermon looked menacingly at Guilmon.
"That's what I say, dino-breath!"
"Don't call me dino-breath!" Guilmon squealed and started fighting with Terriermon while Calumon sat on the sidelines, laughing.
"Kids, stop fighting!" Renamon said urgently and caught all three digimon's attention. "There's a new digimon in town, let's wipe him out!" She said enthusiastically and the digimon instantly raced for their tamers.
As Rika watched on, she was glad she had her partner's support in what she did, what she had to do, at that moment, not the first, but at that moment, Rika felt proud.
