In the van…
"I think the plan just failed," Richard said, through the radio. The radio clicked.
Silence struck the van, as everyone just looked at each other, exchanging discouraging glances. All the work they had done up to that point was down the drain.
"What are we going to do now?" Kazu asked.
"I don't know," Henry said, thinking, "Wait. I got it. It's obvious by now that they 'love' each other, because both have admitted to it."
"Mm-hmm," the others said.
Henry gathered everyone together and whispered what he thought was the best idea he has ever had. Almost everyone's mouths dropped by that idea except Jeri, who had an extremely large grin on her face.
"I think that's a great idea, I mean, who could they be better off with than each other," Jeri said.
"That's true, I guess. Rika would pulverize any other guy that touches her," Kazu said.
"Yeah," Kenta said, laughing, "'Don't touch me you big jerk,'" he said, mimicking Rika's tone of voice.
"Come on. Stay on task," Alice said.
"Okay, I have the perfect plan," Henry said, as everyone moved in, to listen to what he had to say.
At the pool…
Richard sat at the edge of the pool, thinking. The cheerful kid-face didn't seem to want to show on Richard's face.
"Hey, Richard," Rika said, from behind him.
"Hi," Richard said, in a quiet tone.
"Are you okay?" Rika asked, concerned about Richard.
"Yeah," Richard said, smiling.
"So, are you ready to go?" Rika asked.
"Can I say goodbye to Ryo?" Richard asked.
"Sure," Rika said.
As if on cue, Ryo came out with his towel slung over his shoulder. He walked up to the two of them and looked at the two.
"Bye, Ryo," Richard said, giving him a big hug.
"See ya, Richard," Ryo said, kneeling down and hugging him back.
He got up again and looked at Rika, who had her face turned away from him.
"Rika, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, and if you can find it anywhere in your heart to forgive…" Ryo said, as his words trailed off.
"Thanks for the great day today, Ryo," Rika said, turning her head towards him.
"Yeah, no problem," he said, looking back at her.
"Well, I'll talk to you some other time, alright?" Rika said, picking up her bag.
"Yeah," Ryo said, almost in a whisper.
"Come on, Richard," Rika said, as she let him lead the way.
Ryo stood there, watching them leave, until their shadowy figure faded around the corner. He got up, gathering his things, and left also.
The Double "R" Force a.k.a. Henry and the other tamers…
"Okay, Jeri, you can head towards Rika's house, now," Henry said, opening the van door.
"Roger that," Jeri said, into the microphone, hidden within her shirt.
"…and Takato, you can go to Ryo's house," Alice said.
"Okay," Takato said, also into the hidden microphone.
"Remember, that you guys have to find some hard evidence that they both like each other, or this plan will backfire, too," Henry explained.
"Affirmative," Takato and Jeri said, in unison.
The two of them left in separate directions, taking their assigned places.
"Okay, umm, you two can monitor the recording of the two different conversations," Alice said, looking at Kazu and Kenta.
"Aw, do we have to?" Kazu complained.
"Yes, you have to," Alice said, glaring at him.
"I'll get the important item," Henry whispered, then turned to Kazu and Kenta, "And whatever you do, don't let anyone inside this van, unless it's one of us. Do you understand?"
"Wait, isn't Alice going to be here with us?" Kenta asked.
"I'm afraid not, I have to go to Hypnos headquarters to see if everything is alright," Alice said.
"Oh," Kazu said, as Henry and Alice left the van.
"Guess we better get set then," Kazu said.
They both crawled over to their respected radio devices and switched it on.
Rika and Richard…
They both walked into the house and put their bags down, taking out their wet suits and hanging them in the backyard. Almost immediately after they hung their suits, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Richard said, running to the door, to get it.
"Hi Jeri!" Richard said, opening the door, and hugging Jeri.
"Hey, buddy," Jeri said, "Is Rika around?"
"Yeah, I'll get her," Richard said, running back into the backyard to get Rika.
Jeri let herself inside and sat on the ledge.
"Hey, Jeri," Rika said.
"Hi Rika," Jeri said, standing up and embracing Rika into a hug.
"So what brings you here?" Rika asked.
"Oh, you know, like old times, just to hang out. I mean, we haven't talked to each other, in almost forever," Jeri said.
"That's true," Rika said, laughing, "very true."
As Richard looked at Jeri, she winked at him. He knew that she was going to take care of things for right now, so he went to his temporary room.
Ryo's apartment room…
Ryo sighed as he walked into his room. He was about to close the door until he saw a friendly face walk up to him.
"Hey, Takato," Ryo said, his face lighting up.
"Hey, um, can we talk?" Takato asked.
"Sure," Ryo said, "Come in."
They sat down in font of the coffee table.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Ryo asked.
"I came to talk about relationships," Takato said, hesitantly.
"Oh, you mean, you and Jeri?" Ryo asked.
"No, about you and Rika," Takato said.
"Oh," Ryo said, bracing himself for what might come next.
Rika and Jeri…
"So how was the day at the pool, with you know who?" Jeri asked.
"Great, I guess," Rika lied.
Ryo and Takato…
"It was fine at first, but in the end, it was terrible," Ryo said.
"How did it end up terrible?" Takato asked.
Rika and Jeri…
"You're not telling me something," Jeri said, giving her 'tell me now' look.
"Well, it was great for the first few hours," Rika started, as Jeri nodded, "but when we were heading towards the showers, Ryo spotted a Jacuzzi—"
"…and you decided to go in?" Jeri ended Rika's sentence.
"Yeah," Rika said.
"But, that's not everything, is it?" Jeri asked.
"No," Rika answered.
Ryo and Takato…
"What happened in the Jacuzzi," Takato asked.
"Nothing really, until Richard left to take a shower," Ryo said, "I was talking to Rika, but she wasn't answering, so I looked over and saw her sleeping. Well, like an idiot, I kissed her and she went berserk."
"Did she slap you?" Takato asked.
"Actually, she never did," Ryo said.
Rika and Jeri…
"If you got so mad, why didn't you slap him?" Jeri asked.
"I-I don't know," Rika said, stuttering.
"You're still not telling me something," Jeri said.
"Uhh…" Rika said.
"Come on, Rika, spill," Jeri said.
Ryo and Takato…
"She said, 'Ryo, I love you,'" Ryo said.
"Rika said that?" Takato asked, surprisingly.
"Well, technically, she was asleep," Ryo said.
"Still, at least you know that she 'loves' you," Takato said, grinning.
"Yeah," Ryo said, smiling.
"Why don't you take her to dinner? You know, as an apology," Takato said, nudging Ryo's arm.
"Good idea," Ryo said.
Rika and Jeri…
"I think you should apologize to him for over-reacting," Jeri said.
"I should, shouldn't I," Rika said, walking over to the phone.
RING RING
"Hello?" Rika said, answering the phone.
"Hey Rika, it's me, Ryo," Ryo said.
"Oh, hey. I was just about to call you," Rika said.
"Really? About what?" Ryo asked.
"I just wanted to apologize about earlier today," Rika started, "I was wrong to make a big deal of what happened."
"No need for an apology. I was wrong in doing what I did," Ryo said.
"Darn right, you were," Rika said, laughing, "So I guess I'll see you later?"
"Wait, may I take you to dinner tonight? You know, as an apology thing," Ryo asked.
"You've got some nerve to call me up and ask me if I'd like to go have dinner with you," Rika said, turning around to see a very excited look on Jeri's face.
"I know," Ryo said, giving a hopeful look towards Takato.
"I'd like to but, I have to watch Richard," Rika said.
"Oh," Ryo said, sadly.
"Rika, I can watch Richard for you. Go on, say 'yes.'" Jeri whispered.
"Just kidding," Rika said, changing her answer.
"Really? Uhh…great. I'll come around 7:30 tonight, okay?" Ryo asked.
"Okay, see you then," Rika said, "Bye."
Rika put the phone down and turned to see Jeri. Rika gave a hopeful smile and Jeri hugged her. Richard eavesdropped throughout the whole conversation. He was happy to know that there's still a chance of getting Ryo and Rika together.
As all this went on…
"Umm…this one looks nice," Henry said, pointing to the diamond ring, in the glass showcase.
The clerk took out and handed the ring, in it's box, to Henry to look at. He nodded as he gave it back to the man. The man gave Henry the boxed ring, as Henry paid for it.
"Thanks," Henry said, as he walked out of the jewelry shop.
He walked up to the van, and looked through the window, to see Kazu and Kenta, sleeping with their headphones hanging off their heads.
"Hey! Wake up!" Henry yelled, banging on the door.
"Ahhh! They've come to get us," Kazu yelled, as he looked at the dark figure at the door.
"It's just me, Henry," Henry said.
"Oh," Kenta said, as he unlocked the door.
"Okay, so when is the date tonight?" Henry asked.
"Umm…I don't know. We fell asleep a few minutes after you guys left," Kazu said.
"Ugh," Henry grunted, as he walked over to the radios, "At least you recorded it," Henry said, rewinding the tape.
"…come around 7:30 tonight, okay?" the recorder repeated.
"7:30?" Henry said, looking at his watch, "5:00, okay, I'll be ready."
Two and a half hours later…
Henry was still sitting in the van, waiting for Ryo to pass by. He looked out the window and saw a tall, brown haired, well-dressed man pass by. Henry got up and ran out of the van carrying the small box.
"Ryo!" Henry said, running towards him.
"Hey Henry," Ryo said, turning around.
"Here," Henry said, giving him the small box.
Ryo opened it and switched glances between it and Henry. Right when Ryo was about to say something, Melanie came around the corner of the building.
"Henry, are you gay?" Ryo asked, with the weirdest look on his face.
"Henry's gay?" Melanie whispered, heartbroken.
"NO! I'm not gay. I want you to ask Rika to marry you," Henry said, with his face flushed red from the remark.
"But what if—" Ryo started.
"She'll say 'yes,' I know it," Henry said, "Now hurry up and go, or you'll be late."
Ryo smiled and said, "Thanks. You're a pal."
"No problem," Henry said, as Ryo continued walking.
"What was that about?" Melanie asked.
"May I take you out for some coffee while I explain it to you?" Henry asked, smiling.
"Sure," Melanie said, smiling back at him, "but you're really not gay, right?
"If I was, would I do this?" Henry said, giving her a soft kiss on the cheeks.
"No," Melanie said, as they both walked down to a nearby coffee shop.
