On the cruise ship…

Yamaki and Riley were sound asleep in their cabin bed. The sun had already risen as the ship moved onwards in the clear blue sea. The two of them stirred when the noise of people were heard from the hallway. Riley was the first to get up, sitting up and stretching her arms.

"Hey, sleepyhead, wake up," Riley said, smiling.

"5 more minutes," Yamaki said, sleepily, moving onto his side.

"Okay, I didn't want to do this, but…" Riley started, as she grabbed his cheeks and pulled on them.

"Okay, okay. I'm up," Yamaki managed to get out, before Riley let go, with a large smile on her face.

"That's what I thought. Now how about we get some breakfast, huh?" Riley said, patting Yamaki's head.

"Sounds good to me," Yamaki said, getting up and smiling at Riley.

At Rika's house…

Rika woke up to the sound of Jeri, snoring.

"Sheesh, I never knew you snore that loud, Jeri," Rika said, to Jeri, who was still sleeping.

Rika walked out of her room and went out towards the backyard.

"Maybe, I was a little too harsh on the answer I gave Ryo," Rika said, softly to herself.

She watched the sun rise, once again thinking about Ryo.

Back inside the house, Richard was waking up. Not knowing about anything that went on from the night before, he peeked into Rika's room to see if she was awake so he can ask her how the date was and what happened. Unfortunately for him, all he saw was Jeri, about to wake up. He ran off and looked in every room until he stumbled across the room where Henry and Amber were staying in.

"Henry?" Richard whispered, "and who's that?"

Richard wandered into the room and climbed on the bed to see who the person was.

'It's not Jeri and I know it's not Alice,' Richard thought, looking at her hair color.

Amber moved a little, making Richard think she was going to wake up. He jumped off the bed and hid behind the curtain. Moving the curtain didn't seem like a good idea because the bright sun shined it's light into the room, waking Henry and Amber up.

"Bright light!" Henry said, falling off the sofa with a soft 'thud' that made Richard peek out from the drape.

"Am I seeing things or do I see a kid there?" Amber asked, sitting up and looking towards the window.

Henry looked over at the window and widened his eyes.

"Richard?" Henry asked, not sure if it were really him or not.

"Yes, Mr. Wong?" Richard said, coming out from his hiding place.

"What are you doing in here?" Henry asked, his eyes squinting from the bright light.

"I was looking for Rika and then I came in here and I didn't know who she was so I came in," Richard rambled, pointing at Amber, "and then I got on the bed to see who she is and then she moved, and I got scared that I'll get yelled at."

"Oh, this is Amber," Henry said, looking at Amber, who weakly smiled at Richard, "and don't come into a room when someone is sleeping, you understand?"

"Yes sir," Richard said, staring at the floor.

"Aw, you don't have to be so harsh, Henry," Amber said, with a smile on her face.

"You're right, I'm sorry, Richard," Henry said, walking over to the little boy.

Richard's face lit up and hugged Henry. Then he ran out the door to look for Rika again.

"Cute kid," Amber said, getting out of the bed and fixing it up, "is he yours?"

"Oh no. He's my boss's son. I'm just a single guy, with a job that has to do with computers," Henry said, smiling at Amber.

'I thought he would've been married by now,' Amber thought, sitting on the bed, watching Henry, "Oh, you work with computers?" Amber asked.

"Yeah. What do you work with?" Henry said.

"I sing. I'm not famous, but I've got a recording contract with Arista."

"Really?" Henry asked. It didn't surprise him that she would have a good voice.

"Yeah." Amber said.

"Can you sing something for me?" Henry asked.

"Oh, no." Amber blushed. "That's why I'm not famous. I'm kinda shy."

"Oh, okay. So how are you on this lovely morning?" Henry asked, getting up and stretching.

"Just fine. I feel refreshed. Though I don't know how I got in here in the first place," Amber said, trying hard to remember.

'Uh, should I tell her?' Henry asked himself, "Well, you fell asleep and Rika let you stay here."

"Oh, well," Amber said, "help me look for your friend so I can thank her for letting me stay here for the night."

Henry nodded and they both walked out of the room. Amber stopped outside in the hallway.

"Um, do you think Rika will mind if I took a shower?" She asked.

"Umm…why not?" Henry replied.

"Okay, I'll just get back into my clothes when I'm done." She headed off in the direction that Henry had pointed to.

'Hmm….' he thought to himself. 'I wonder if she sings in the shower…' and his curiosity got the best of him as he headed off after her. He waited till she turned the water on, and a while afterwards, she did start singing. She was singing an older Mariah Carey song.

"Spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you have become a butterfly, ohhhh, fly abandonedly into the sun, if you should return to me we truly were meant to be, ohhhh, spread your wings and fly butterfly …"

'Oh, my god,' Henry thought to himself. 'She really is a good singer.' Just then, the water turned off. He stood there, thinking of what he should do. He was still thinking when Amber opened the door, wrapped in a towel. "Oh, hi," she said, and blushed.

'She knew I was listening,' Henry thought.

"Um…do you…?" Amber said.

"Um, no." Henry interrupted. "I was just…" he trailed off.

"Um…okay...I gotta go put some clothes on. I'm freezing." She turned and walked away, leaving Henry behind. He watched the water drip off the ends of her hair and run down her back, the sound of her voice still playing in his head.

Meanwhile, Richard was still looking for Rika. He kept on going in circles in the house, not familiar with the house structure yet. He ran around until he ran into Jeri who was on her way out of the kitchen.

"Oh, Richard, if you want breakfast, it's out on the table," Jeri said.

"But I'm looking for Rika," Richard said, about to run off.

"Don't worry, I'll find her. Just go ahead and eat, okay?" Jeri said, kneeling down to his height.

"Okay," Richard said, running into the kitchen.

Jeri walked to the first place she thought Rika would be; the backyard. She walked up to Rika who had her eyes closed, face looking skyward.

"Hey Rika," Jeri said, "I made breakfast."

"Oh thanks," Rika said, giving her a weak smile.

"Come on, what's past is past. Today's a new day," Jeri said, sympathetically, "Now come on, Rika, lets get some breakfast.

They both got up and walked towards the kitchen. They ran into Henry and Amber and also got them to get some food.

Ryo's place…

"Good morning, thanks for listening to 99.3 rock radio station. The weather is currently—" the clock/alarm/radio blared, before Ryo slammed his hand on it. Monodramon walked into the room, opening the drapes of the room and waking Ryo up.

"Hey wake up," Monodramon said, poking Ryo, "aren't you supposed to be working today?"

"No, I took the day off today," Ryo said, muffled by the pillow covering his mouth.

"Oh, well, shouldn't you get out of bed anyway?" Monodramon asked.

"No," Ryo said, pulling the cover over his head.

"Oh, okay," Monodramon simply said, going back into the closet to go to sleep.

The Trio…

The three angels drove up and down different roads, looking for what they were looking for.

"There's the sign!" Mako yelled out.

Suzie pulled over and read the sign that said, 'Annual dance at the West Shinjuku Civic Center. Free for children under 10 and three dollars for anyone else.'

"This is the perfect time to get Ryo and Rika back together," Ai said.

"But the dance is tonight. How are we going to get just those two together?" Mako asked.

"We're not. The whole gang is going to be there with them," Suzie said.

"Oh good idea," Mako said.

"Come on let's go get tickets," Suzie said.

Back at the house…

"Richard, it's okay," Henry said, trying to calm the boy down.

"Yeah, you have nothing to worry about, okay?" Jeri said.

"But, Ryo and…and…Rika aren't friends…anymore," Richard said, sobbing.

"Don't worry, Richard. Ryo and I are still friends," Rika said, giving a hopeful smile.

"Really?" Richard said, wiping his tears with his shirt sleeve.

"Yeah," Rika said, "now let me see that always happy face of yours."

Richard's face brightened up and smiled. Rika smiled back as she got back up on her feet.

"Rika, thanks again for letting me stay here for the night," Amber said.

"No problem. Any friend of Henry's is a friend of mine," Rika said.

"Is it okay if you watch him for today, too?" Henry asked.

"Sure. Anytime," Rika said, "Just call me and he'll be ready for ya."

"Thanks. I'll see you whenever, okay? See you. You too, Jeri and Richard," Henry said, walking out the door.

"Bye," Amber said, following Henry.

"I guess I should be going, too. I told Takato I'd help him at the bakery today," Jeri said.

"Oh okay," Rika said.

"Bye, Richard. Bye Rika," Jeri said, also walking out the door.

Rika shut the door and said, "Well, looks like it's just the two of us again."

Henry and Amber…

They reached Amber's house. They walked through the gates and walked towards the door. There they spoke.

"It's nice to meet you, again," Henry said.

"Yeah," Amber said, "even if it was almost the middle of the night."

"Heheh, yeah," Henry said, "well I have to go try to make up with Melanie. I'll see you some other time."

Amber watched Henry walk through the gate.

'I can't let someone I like go like that without him knowing how I feel about him,' Amber thought.

"Henry, wait," Amber yelled out, running towards him.

"What?" Henry said, turning around.

"I don't want you to make up with Melanie," Amber said.

"Why not?" Henry said, curious of what she had to say.

"Because," Amber started, "because I really like you and I trust you."

'She's got some nerve to tell me that,' Henry thought, smiling.

"Okay," Henry said, "I guess I'll just head over to Ryo's then. I'll see you later."

"Yeah, bye," Amber said.

In the van…

"Gosh, what time is it?" Kenta asked, wiping the drool off his face.

"It's 10:30?" Kenta yelled, getting up.

"Well, no wonder I have to go so bad," Kenta said, "let me out. I gotta find a bathroom."

Kenta jumped out of the van and ran into the apartment building where Melanie and Ryo lived. Kenta knocked on every door until he got to one with someone inside, Melanie to be exact.

"Umm, yes?" Melanie asked, opening the door, "wait a minute. I've seen you somewhere before."

"Oh, my partner and I tried selling you one of my company's products," Kenta said.

"Oh yeah," Melanie said, smiling.

"Um, I'm sorry, but may I use your bathroom?" Kenta asked, smiling weakly.

"Sure, be my guest," Melanie said, while Kenta ran passed her to the bathroom.

'Man, what's with all these guys coming at my door,' Melanie thought.

Thinking about this made her really angry. Particularly at Henry, who she thinks lied to her at the coffee shop the other night. All those evil thoughts went away when Kenta came back.

"I like what you did with the bathroom," Kenta complimented.

"Thank you, that's so nice of you," Melanie said, with another one of her smiles.

Kenta gazed at her while she gazed back. They stood there for a few seconds, in silence, just looking into each other's eyes.

"Um, I have to go," Kenta said, "I'll see you some other time."

Melanie just watched him leave.

With Henry…

Henry walked along the busy streets on his way to Ryo's apartment. He was about to turn, when a taxi car drove right in front of him, barely missing his feet. He was about to yell at the driver until he recognized who it was.

"You know, I'm starting to wonder why you came back to life as a taxi car driver, when you died in a car in the first place," Henry said, into the open window.

"Ironic, isn't it?" Suzie asked. "Anyways, I got you and the gang tickets for tonight's civic center dance."

"The gang and I? Exactly who is in this gang?" Henry asked.

"Let's see, you, Ryo, Rika, Jeri, Takato, Kenta, Kazu, Melanie, Amber, Alice, and Richard. Masahiko said he had to work so he can't come. And of course, we'll be there," Suzie said.

"Melanie and Amber?" Henry asked. "How'd you know about them?"

"Oh, it's the angel's intuition thing," Mako said.

"Oh really," Henry said, grinning, "then who will I end up with? Melanie or Amber?"

"That, big brother, is something you have to figure out on your own," Suzie said, handing him the tickets, "see you tonight."

The three of them drove. Henry continued onward towards Ryo's house. He walked through the hallway and walked towards the door with the large dent. He knocked on it a couple times. No answer. He knocked some more. Still no answer. Henry grabbed the door knob and found that the door was unlocked.

"Strange…I would think someone as smart as Ryo would lock the door at night," Henry thought, walking into the apartment room.

"Ryo?" Henry said, looking around.

Henry walked into Ryo's room and saw a mound covered in sheets.

"Ryo, what are you doing still sleeping?" Henry said, shaking him.

"Leave me alone," Ryo said.

"No, I wont leave you alone," Henry said, "look, if this is about Rika, don't lose hope."

Ryo sat up in bed, with his hair sticking up more than usual. He looked at Henry and was about to fall back over to sleep. Henry grabbed his pillow, as Ryo fell flat on the bed, partially hitting his head on the headboard.

"What gives?" Ryo said, in a grouchy tone, rubbing his head.

"Look, I don't know if you lost all hope, but I have tickets to tonight's dance held at the civic center. Here's a chance for you to win her back," Henry said.

Ryo just lay there, not saying anything. He grabbed his pillow and put it over his face.

"I'll leave the ticket here," Henry said, setting the ticket on the table, "if you change your mind. Hope to see you there because I'm sure, everyone else will be there."

Henry left and closed the door, letting Ryo be.

"Poor guy," Henry said, walking out into the hall way, "I hope he's okay."

Few moments later, Ryo came out of his room.

"Henry," Ryo said, walking over to him, "here."

Henry held out his hand and Ryo gave him a very familiar small box. Henry looked at Ryo.

"Give it to someone that might actually accept it," Ryo said, as his eyes watered, "it wasn't even my idea to ask her the question, so I shouldn't be saying anything, but…"

"But what, Ryo?" Henry asked.

Ryo sighed and tried to keep his composure, and said, " But, knowing that I can never have her back, hurts so much on the inside."

"Ryo," Henry said, looking at him, as little droplets of tears, fell from Ryo's eyes.


DF103 – Like some of the reviewers said…don't give up Ryo…a little OOCness…but that's okay…Will Ryo go to the dance? Will Rika change her mind? And what about Henry with his relationship issues? Find out in the next chapter…till then PEACE
