Little Richard's Intentions for Ryo & Rika
Where the Fun Begins and Ends
Little Richard – :walks in with a notebook and a script: Hi everyone! You all know me as Richard from this fic. DF103 said she wasn't going to put the fifth chapter out till next weekend, but she already had it written out in her notebook, so for the sake of you people, I got it out for ya. Yup. She then wrote on here, that she doesn't own digimon, but she owns me and Melanie. I just want to thank all the people who have reviewed. Without you people, I would not be possible nor would this fic. So, without further ado, DF103 presents Little Richard's Intentions for Ryo & Rika - Where the Fun Begins and Ends…
"Rika? Can I ask you a question?" Richard asked, while walking towards Rika's house.
"Sure," Rika said.
"Do you like Mr. Akiyama?" Richard asked.
"I thought you already asked me that before," Rika said, looking down at Richard.
"Um. Yeah, but you never answered it," Richard said.
"Well……no," Rika said, with an unsure look on her face.
"Then why'd you say we would go with him to the pool?" Richard asked, looking up at Rika.
"Well…uh…because I didn't think you would want to be bored all day," Rika said, hesitantly.
"Oh…" Richard said.
In the van…
While all that went on, Jeri had the headphones on and listened intently to everything Rika and Richard said.
"That is such a lie," Jeri yelled out.
"What's such a lie?" Ryo asked.
"Oh…heheheh, nothing," Jeri said.
"Right," Ryo said.
Henry drove up in front of the apartment building. Ryo got out of the van and said, "Thanks for the ride, Henry."
"No problem. Have fun with Rika and Richard," Henry said.
"Bye, Ryo," was all that Ryo heard before he closed the door.
Ryo went inside and unlocked his door.
"Now I have to find those trunks," Ryo said, going through all his clothes to find them.
To Rika and Richard…
They got to the house and went in. Richard went to his bag and started digging for his swimming trunks and towel.
"After you find your things, I'll put your bag in my grandmother's room," Rika said, walking into her room to grab her things.
Rika went through all her dressers and couldn't find her bathing suit.
'Maybe it's in the bathroom,' Rika thought, walking into the bathroom.
She walked into the bathroom and just as she thought, there was her bathing suit.
"Bingo," Rika said and closed the door to put it on.
Richard walked up to the bathroom door with his things, knocked on it a couple of times, before Rika said, "If you need to change, um, change in my room."
"Okay," Richard said, walking into Rika's room and closing the door.
Richard meticulously took off the microphone and put it in the bag with his towel. He then changed into his trunks and put his shirt on, putting his pants in the bag. After doing so, with nothing to do, he looked around the room. He sat on the bed and saw something strange under the pillow. He lifted the pillow and found a notebook. Being the curious kid he is, he opened the notebook only to see writing.
With some of the reading skills he learned in school, he made an attempt on reading the last entry written in the notebook.
"After being…as…asked…by the kid…may…maybe I rea…really like Ryo…or maybe ev…even more," Richard read.
He then heard footsteps, so he put the notebook back under the pillow.
"Are you done getting changed?" Rika asked, from behind the door.
"Yeah," Richard said, opening the door.
"Good. I just have to call Ryo and then we'll be going, okay?" Rika said, wearing a large T-shirt and a pair of shorts over her suit.
"Okay," Richard said, carrying his bag out of the room and following Rika towards the phone.
In the van…
Now that Ryo is out, Jeri unhooked the headphones so everyone could hear what was going on. There was a slight crackle through the speakers, and then heard a small voice.
"Richard probably put the mic in the bag already. That's probably him talking," Alice explained, as they continued to listen.
"…maybe I rea…really like Ryo…or maybe ev…even more," was all they caught.
"Has he always talked like that?" Kenta asked.
"No, I think he's reading something," Henry said.
Alice gasped and said, "That's probably Rika's journal or something."
"Bingo! Wait, Rika keeps a journal?" Kazu yelled out.
"Richard found proof!" Takato said.
Back at Rika's house…
Rika picked up the phone and dialed the number that's on her hand.
"Hello?" said the person on the other side of the phone.
"Ryo?" Rika asked.
"Hey, Rika. You ready for some fun?" Ryo asked.
"Ryo, you sounded really corny saying that," Rika said.
"Oh, sorry," Ryo answered.
"So, we're on our way, okay?" Rika said, looking at Richard, who is staring back at her.
"Okay, I'll see you guys when you get here," Ryo said, "see ya, pumpkin."
"Akiyama, I'm warning you," Rika said, but unfortunately for her, Ryo had already hung up.
Rika set the phone down on the charger again, and turned to Richard.
"You ready to go?" Rika asked.
"Yup," Richard said, carrying his little bag.
"Let's go," Rika said, opening the door, with her bag over her shoulder.
They both walked out and headed for Ryo's house. Few minutes later, when they got there, they walked up to the door with the large visible dent, and knocked.
"Hey guys," Ryo said, from behind them, making Rika and Richard jump.
"Why are you here," Rika asked pointing to the him, "and not in there," then pointing to the door.
"I went to get us some drinks. We have to stay hydrated, you know," Ryo said, holding up the grocery bag.
"Cool," Richard said, jumping for joy.
"Come on, lets go," Ryo said, leading the way to the pool.
The three of them walked a couple of miles before getting to the gate, right in front of the pool area.
"Wow, I expected people to be here," Rika said, "but no one is here."
"Well that just means that there'll be more fun for us," Ryo said, with his remarkable smile.
"Just go," Rika said.
Ryo opened the door and Richard ran into the pool area. He put his bag on a seat, took off his shirt, and jumped into the pool.
"Well, I guess he knows how to swim," Ryo said, walking up to the edge of the pool, with Rika following.
They watched Richard, who was still underwater. Ryo looked at his watch and his eyes widened.
"He's been under there for 30 seconds and counting," Ryo said, with a hint of worry.
"Well, he's moving," Rika said, pointing at the dark shadow in the water.
"40 seconds," Ryo said, still looking at his watch.
"He's not moving anymore," Rika said, starting to freak out.
"50 seconds," Ryo said, taking his eyes off the watch, "Richard? Richard?"
At this point Ryo and Rika started to panic, and were about to jump in until, Richard's face popped out of the water.
"Hi," Richard said, with a large smile on his face.
"Richard…you…you…" Rika stuttered, in an angry manner.
"Come on, Rika, he's just a kid," Ryo said, winking at Richard.
Richard made puppy dog eyes to Rika, which loosened her attitude a bit.
"I'm sorry. It's just that you scared me, staying down there for almost a minute," Rika said, with an apologetic smile on her face.
"It's okay. I guess it's sorta my fault," Richard said, then looking back at the two, "are you guys just going to stand there, or are you coming in?"
Rika took off her shirt and shorts, revealing her lavender bathing suit. She walked up to the edge of the pool again and took out her pony tail, letting it flow down to her shoulders.
Ryo took his watch and his shirt off, which revealed nothing more than his distinct abs, and his turquoise swimming trunks. He, too, walked up to the edge of the pool, next to Rika. They both looked at each other, but turned away. Watching this, Richard decided to break the silence.
"So are you coming in?" Richard asked again, swimming around in the large pool.
"Be my guest, Rika, you go in first," Ryo said kindly, looking back at Rika.
Rika grinned and said, "No, you can go in first," then pushed him into the pool.
Rika stood there laughing at Ryo, as he reached the surface of the water.
"I didn't see that coming," he said, smiling, then looking at Richard.
Ryo gave him a nod and they both splashed water on Rika.
"Hey, quit it. I'm coming, I'm coming," Rika said, jumping into the pool.
"It's about time," Ryo said, smiling.
"Yeah, yeah," Rika said, starting to swim around.
They swam around for a few hours, just enjoying themselves. They took little breaks, every once in a while, but in the end they seemed to have a great time. The three of them were heading into the showers until, Ryo spotted a Jacuzzi.
"Hey, how about we hit the Jacuzzi before we go," Ryo said.
"Okay, I guess," Rika said.
They all got in and relaxed as the water pressure soothed their body, after a long day of swimming. After a few minutes passed, Richard decided to head into the showers.
"I'm gonna go wash up," Richard said, grabbing his towel, and clothes, leaving the bag and the microphone close to where Rika and Ryo were.
"Okay," Rika said, closing her eyes, still relaxing.
To Henry and the others…
"Yes, he's got them alone," Kenta said.
"Yeah, in a Jacuzzi. Don't you know what people do in those?" Jeri asked.
"Ryo and Rika? They may like each other, but I'd doubt they'd do that," Alice said.
"Shhh…they're starting to talk," Henry said.
Back to Ryo and Rika
"Rika, do you want to leave?" Ryo asked, looking at Rika, "Rika?"
No answer.
'Aw, she's asleep, I think," Ryo thought.
He looked at her, but couldn't tell if she was asleep. So he moved next to her and looked at her, and indeed she was asleep. Her head kept on bobbing, from side to side, and finally made it's way onto Ryo's shoulder.
"Ryo, I love you," Rika said, softly, with her eyes still closed.
'Is she still sleeping?' Ryo thought, in doubt of what he just heard.
Ryo took his fingers and ran it through Rika's wet, auburn-colored hair.
"Hmm…she seems like she's sleeping," Ryo whispered to himself, as another risky idea sprung into mind.
He brought her chin up ever so slightly and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. As this happened, Rika's eyes flew open. She shoved him away from her.
"Ryo? What was that about!" Rika asked.
"I…I…uhh…" Ryo stuttered, looking for the right words to come out if his mouth.
Rika got out, took her clothes and went into the showers, as Richard came out. Richard looked at Rika, then Ryo, and back again. He seemed discouraged, as he tried to figure out what just happened. Ryo got out and got his clothes, heading towards the other set of showers, for the guys.
Richard walked over to his bag, took out the mic, and looked at it unpromisingly.
"I think the plan just failed," Richard said, sadly, into the mic, then putting it back in the bag.
Little Richard – Sad indeed, yup. What will I do to get them back together? Only one person knows. DigiFreak103. Maybe if you beg her enough, she'll write the next chapter soon. But, I don't know, that's just me. Anyway, please review. And I'll see all of you in the next chapter.
