Little Richard's Intentions for Ryo & Rika
In Your Heart?
little Richard: Hi everyone! Rika went somewhere and DF103 is out somewhere else, so I'm being watched over by all the other different DF103s.
immature DF103:pokes and aggravates morbid/dead DF103:
morbid/dead DF103: Can you stop that? It's pretty annoying…
immature DF103: No, it's fun. Yup yup!
little Richard:sneaks up on morbid/dead DF103, takes her hat, and runs:puts hat on and pretends to be morbid/dead DF103: "Can you stop that? It's pretty annoying." :falls over, laughing, along with immature DF103:
Rika:comes in and laughs: Come on, Richard. Give the hat back. :looks at morbid/dead DF103 and mouths "You better not have used bad language, or else…" then smiles: Thanks for babysitting.
little Richard:throws hat and morbid/dead DF103 catches it: Thanks for babysitting me! Bye DF103s… :leaves with Rika:
morbid/dead DF103:sighs and gets stares from readers: You people are still here? You're supposed to be reading the fic…well, while you're here…I'll do the disclaimer since everyone else is preoccupied at the moment…we dun own digimon, Amber, Ashley, or the show 'American Idol'…so, scram and read the fic… :sits down: Oh yeah, this is inspired by the song "Have You Ever" by Brandy
immature DF103:sits next to morbid/dead DF103 and pokes her again:
morbid/dead DF103:slaps forehead: Great……
Alice sat in her office, at Hypnos headquarters. Since there was really nothing to do, she decided to sleep. Little did she know, the phone started ringing in her office. Being the deep sleeper she is, the phone continued ringing until the answering machine picked up.
"You have reached Hypnos headquarters, office of Alice McCoy. She is not here at the moment, but your call maybe important, so please leave a message after the beep…"
BEEP!
"I wanna know an explanation for this, Alice. Why are you and Henry not in your offices? Unless you two are out of your offices doing your job. Anyway, I just called to tell you that Riley and I are coming back early, due to bad weather towards one of the islands we were headed to, and um, let's just say a health condition. I'll see you two there maybe tonight or tomorrow, and I expect everything to be the way it was before I left," Yamaki said, then hanging up.
To Henry and his life…
Henry trudged into his home, and glanced at the clock.
"11:30, huh?" Henry said. "At least I have some down time to relax for now."
Henry fell on to the couch, and buried his face into a cushion. He fell deep into thought of what the outcome maybe, if Rika and Ryo found out that the rest of the group was trying to get them together, the whole time.
"Man, they'd probably kill us all," Henry mumbled, through the cushion.
"Who would kill you?" Terriermmon asked, coming out of Henry's room.
"Ryo and Rika," Henry said, throwing the cushion into the air.
"Why?" Terriermon asked, rubbing his eye and dragging a light green blanket, as he walked towards Henry.
"Oh, nothing," Henry said, sighing.
"Come on, Henry, tell me." Terriermon tugged on Henry's shirt.
"Well, we're trying to get Rika and Ryo together."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? They're both hotheads!"
Henry only sighed, and buried his face into the cushion again.
"Why did I even bother asking?" Terriermon yawned and walked over to the kitchen.
He struggled to open the refrigerator, but when he was successful, he grabbed a couple of eggs and let the refrigerator door, slowly close. Attempting to hold his blanket and the eggs at the same time, he meticulously walked over to the little step stool, but still dropped an egg with a loud, noticeable 'crack.' Terriermon's face directed it's attention to the yellow blob on the tiled floor. Not wanting to clean it up, he set everything down and tip-toed back into Henry's room, before…
"Terriermon, clean it up," Henry said, still lying on the couch.
"Okay, okay."
Later, that evening…
The clock read 5:15. Henry ran around the house, looking for the right clothes to wear for the dance. Terriermon just sat on the kitchen counter watching him.
"I can't believe I overslept," Henry mumbled, grabbing some pants and walking in to his room.
"Henry, why are you running around all over the place?" Terriermon yelled, wanting to know what was going on.
"I'm going to a dance, and I have to leave in 15 minutes to pick someone up," Henry said, coming out with only a black pair of pants on. "Now where did that t-shirt go?"
"Which one?"
"The midnight blue colored one."
Terriermon pointed to the stack of folded clothes. On top was the shirt, Henry was looking for.
"Thanks, Terriermon." Henry grabbed it and put it on.
"Is that all you're gonna wear? You'll turn into an icicle if you go out there with just a t-shirt."
"You're right," Henry said, going back in his room and grabbing a black button-down shirt.
He put that on over his dark blue t-shirt and buttoned it up. He looked into the mirror and nodded to himself in satisfaction. Looking at the clock, he combed his hair.
"Gotta go," Henry said, grabbing his ticket, "don't get yourself into trouble."
Terriermon just waved, as Henry left.
At Amber's house…
Henry finally got to Amber's house. He knocked on the door and made himself look presentable. Amber opened the door. She wore jeans that lace up the leg and a "hippie shirt" with a long coat that had many hues of blue and gauzy, flowing sleeves that seemed to flare out and suede boots. She also wore earrings which were miniature dream-catchers, each with a green-blue feather hanging from it and her necklace consisted of a silver chain with a dolphin whose flippers and tail enclosed a blue marble. Her hair was draped down the side of her face, neatly brushed into place, having the full effect of the look of a hippie.
"Hey," Henry said, "you look nice."
"Thank you," Amber said, blushing.
"So you ready to go?"
"Yup." Amber stepped out, locking her door.
The two of them walked towards the civic center.
At Hypnos headquarters…
Alice woke up from her long nap. She yawned and looked at the time.
'Hmm, woke up just in time.'
She got up and stretched, scoping her office and yawning again. She sat back down and played all the messages that she got while she was "gone." She soon cam across Yamaki's message and freaked.
"Man, I just hope he comes tomorrow." Alice got up and grabbed her jacket. "But, right now, I have a dance to get ready to go to."
Alice turned the lights out and left her office to get ready for the dance.
Richard and Rika…
Rika and Richard walked down the street, nearly a few feet away from the civic center. Rika wore khaki pants with a powder blue, hooded sweater, and to match that, a pair of powder blue sneakers. Richard, on the other hand, wore khaki cargos, with a green, checked-print, button-down shirt over a white long sleeved shirt. As they approached the building, they saw Alice in a white long sleeved shirt, black pants, and black shoes to match.
"Hi Alice!" Richard yelled, running towards her.
"Hey, Richard," Alice answered kneeling down to greet his hug. "Have you been good?"
"Yup!" Richard said, gleefully.
Alice patted his head and got up. She turned to Rika, who was smirking.
"What?" Alice asked, having a strange suspicion that she won't like the answer.
"So where's your guy?" Rika asked, her smirk growing.
"Oh, be quiet," Alice said, glaring, then turning away from Rika, only to see Takato and Jeri heading towards their direction.
"HI!" Jeri yelled out.
Jeri was wearing light pink sweater set which includes a knee length skirt, a three-quarter sleeve sweater, and to match, a pair of sparkly, pink sneakers. Takato, who was with Jeri, was wearing a pair of gray pants with a white, long sleeved with a wide, red stripe going around the middle.
"Long time, no see," Takato said, smiling.
"Yeah, I know," Rika said, looking around.
Rika spotted Kazu, Kenta, Henry, and Amber. Kazu came in jeans, wearing a long sleeved, dark gray shirt with specks of charcoal as a top and black shoes. Kenta also had jeans on with a white t-shirt under a blue jean colored, button-down shirt, that was left unbuttoned, and a pair of white shoes. Henry waved to the rest of them.
"Hey you guys!" Henry said, taking out a ticket and handing it to Alice. "Here you go."
"Thanks," Alice said, looking at the person next to Henry. "Who's she?"
"This is Amber. She's with me, obviously," Henry said, flashing a smile at her. "Amber this is Takato and Alice, and you've already met Jeri, Rika, Richard, Kazu, and Kenta." He pointed to each person.
"Nice to meet ya," Amber said, smiling.
"Okay, so let's head in, shall we?" Takato said, looking at everyone.
"Sure, why not? Here comes the cavalry!" Kazu yelled out, running into the building.
"Haven't heard that in a long time," Rika said, as everyone laughed and followed Kazu.
Inside, they saw a pale-faced Kazu, Suzie, Ai, and Mako, as the music played. Suzie wore a dark pink t-shirt with the words "Angels walk among us" on the front and "I'm one of them" on the back in a light pink script. With that, she wore black pants with glitter spread throughout them, and white sneakers. Ai wore a light purple t-shirt that had "100 Angel" on it in dark purple script, a pair of glittery flare jeans and white sneakers. And, last, but not least, Mako wore jeans and a longed sleeved shirt with green sleeves and collar and the rest was gray.
Kazu spotted the group and ran up to them as the three ghostly trio followed.
"Ghosts!" Kazu wailed, hiding behind the rest of the group.
"Hey! It's not nice to say something like that to the people who got you the tickets," Mako said, crossing his arms.
"Yeah," Ai said, also crossing her arms.
Suzie on the other hand decided to go along with Kazu's comment.
"I'm going to get you, Kazu," Suzie said, walking towards him like a zombie.
"So, it is true," Jeri said, "you really did come back."
"Yup, that's right," Suzie said, regaining her composure.
"But, but, but, they're ghosts!" Kazu said, pointing to them.
"Calm down, Kazu," Alice said, bopping him over the head. "I came here to have fun."
"Yeah, let's PAR-TAY!" Mako said. "We saved us a table."
"Cool," Henry said, about to walk over to the table, but was stopped by Alice.
"Um, can Henry and I talk in private for moment?" Alice asked to the rest of the gang.
They nodded as Henry and Alice walked away from the group.
"What's up," Henry asked, a concerned look spreading across his face.
"I got a call from Yamaki—"
"WHAT!"
"Let me finish. They might come back tonight or tomorrow. They said that there is a storm near one of the islands they were headed to, and something about a health condition or something."
"Well…let's just hope they come back tomorrow."
"Yeah, and one more thing. WHERE IS RYO?"
"How am I supposed to know."
"Well, you gave him the ticket, didn't you?"
"Yeah." As soon as that was said, a slow song started to play. The song was "Have You Ever" by Brandy.
Right then, Richard walked up to and Alice and tugged on her shirt.
"Alice, will you dance with me?"
"Sure," Alice said, laughing, and picking Richard up and walking to the dance floor.
'I guess I should ask a certain somebody to dance with me, too,' Henry thought, walking over to the table, where Kenta, Kazu, Rika, Ai, and Amber sat.
"Richard actually got Alice to dance with him!" Kazu yelled.
Henry laughed, along with everyone else as he walked over to Amber.
"Care to dance with me?" Henry asked, holding out a hand.
"Sure," Amber said, blushing and taking his hand and standing up.
The two of them walked onto the dance floor and started swaying to the beat of the music with Amber's arms around Henry's neck and Henry's hands placed on Amber's waist. Kenta declared that he was going to get some punch for the whole group and Kazu got up to look for some other people to talk to, to avoid getting hurt from Rika.
Rika watched Jeri and Takato dance, then Suzie and Mako, to Henry and Amber, and to Alice and Richard. They all seemed to have the same glint in their eyes, except Richard and Alice, that is. Her mind slowly drifted to another thought…about Ryo. She started to zone out, before Ai brought her back to reality.
"Hello? Earth to Rika," Ai said, waving her hand in Rika's face.
"Oh, sorry," Rika said, shaking her head.
"What's up? You must've been thinking hard to not hear me for like thirty seconds."
"Nothing." Rika fidgeted.
"A little bit of nothing, means a whole lot of something," Ai said, smiling.
"Well, I was hoping Ryo would be here."
"Ohh. Wait, I thought you hated him."
"Well, yeah. I used to, at least. I don't know about now."
"Well, why don't you tell him how you feel? It can't be that hard."
"I don't know."
Kazu came back to the table with two girls. One of them was Melanie who wore a tan spaghetti strap shirt, tight-fitting faded jeans that are slightly darker than her shirt, a pair of boots, and a tan colored hair band. She held a jacket in her arms, as Kazu ranted. Ashley Ojuka, the other girl with them, has blue-green eyes and blonde shoulder-length crimped hair. She wore white flares, a long sleeved light blue shirt with a light blue robe-like garment over her shirt, and a pair of glittery light blue shoes.
"I'm back," Kazu announced. "This is Melanie and this is Ashley."
"Hi," Rika and Ai said, simultaneously.
Melanie and Ashley gave a smile. Ashley sat down at the table, whereas Melanie stayed where she was, looking around to see if she could find anyone she knew.
Ai started to snicker and Rika wondered if this was the Melanie that thought Henry was crazy. That thought was answered when she saw Henry dancing with Amber.
Melanie got up and started to walk over to the dance floor, keeping her eyes on Henry, who was at the moment laughing, looking into Amber's eyes.
"Wait, where are you going?" Kazu asked, as she ignored him.
Melanie pushed some people out of the way to get to him, including Suzie and Mako.
"Hey, watch where you're walking!" Mako yelled out.
Melanie simply turned around, glared, and continued walking.
As the song ended, everyone headed for the tables, including Henry and Amber. Unfortunately for those two, they ran into Melanie.
"So, you're gonna be cheating on your other girlfriend, huh?" Melanie said.
"I didn't know you were here," Henry said.
"Of course I'm here. A person named Kenta gave me a ticket. Now, why is it that every time I see you, you are always with a different girl?" Melanie asked.
"Um," Henry started, thinking of what to say. 'Why did I give that ticket to Kenta?'
"Um, what? Answer!" Melanie demanded.
"Look, he doesn't have to do anything for you. If he doesn't want to answer, then he doesn't have to answer," Amber said, glaring.
"Well, well, well. Does Miss Hippie know that Henry is cheating on you?"
"Actually, he isn't cheating on anyone. I actually know the situation, unlike you, because you didn't take the time to listen to what he had to say."
"Well, just bug off. This is a situation I have to handle with Henry and I, alone," Melanie said.
"Too bad, I'm in the situation now, too."
Henry just watched the two argue. He made sure not to speak, so he doesn't make matters worse.
"Okay, then, how can a young man like him have a dead sister, that just comes back to life?" Melanie said. "It's obvious that he's trying to hide the fact that he's already taken."
"You mean, Suzie? She is his sister, you nimrod!" Amber said.
"Prove it!" Melanie said, then smirked, knowing she's won the battle or did she?
"Go look in the obituaries," Amber said, smirking.
"Where am I going to find a newspaper?"
"I've got one," Suzie said, running up to the two, with a newspaper in hand.
"Oh, it's you," Melanie said, snatching the newspaper from her.
She looked through the pages and found the obituaries. She read it and looked back and forth from the paper to Suzie. She gasped, as her eyes widened.
"Oh, dear lord," Melanie whispered, dropping the newspaper.
"Hmm, looks like we won," Amber said, "Come on, Henry."
The two walked away as Kenta approached Melanie.
"Um, are you okay?" Kenta asked.
Melanie simply shook her head and walked back to the table. Kenta followed.
At the table, Rika, Ashley, and Ai were in a deep conversation, until Henry and Amber came.
"Oh my gosh, is that Ashley Ojuka?" Amber yelled out, looking at the back of Ashley's head.
"Um, yeah. Why?" Ashley asked, then turned around. "Amber?"
Ashley's eyes narrowed and so did Amber's.
"You two know each other?" Kazu asked.
They both nodded and continued shooting glares at each other.
"You…" Ashley muttered, "you took away my soon-to-be-singing career."
"Me? ME? I didn't take away your soon-to-be-singing career. Not my fault, for singing better than you," Amber said.
"You better than me? Ha. That's a joke. If you don't remember correctly, the judges bashed you with low scores. If it weren't for the viewers' votes, I would've won," Ashley said.
"Oh yeah? I couldn't help it if the judges thought I had an attitude." Amber retorted. "Besides, that's what America wanted. I do to have a better singing voice. What's even sadder is that I wasn't even trying. I didn't even expect to win."
The rest of the group just watched, looking confused and dumbfounded. Henry shook his head, trying to believe the fact that Amber just got out of a catfight with Melanie and she is now in another one. Rika stood there, hands placed over Richard's ears, so he couldn't hear anything. Richard tried hard to get out of her grasp.
"You know, if we had a rematch, I already know who would win," Amber said, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, me," Ashley retorted.
"Hold up, now, what are you two arguing about?" Henry asked.
"We're talking about how I kicked her ass on a show, airing in America called, 'American Idol.'" Amber said, turning back to Ashley. "Now where were we? Oh yeah. No I'm gonna win. I know it, you know it."
"Win, huh? You know, come to think of it. Maybe you will win again…IN YOUR DREAMS!" Ashley yelled.
"Why I oughta hurt you," Amber said, making a fist and throwing a punch towards her.
Ashley winced, preparing for the pain that was to come. Takato stepped in front of the two and caught Amber's flying fist.
"Okay, you guys, break it up," Takato said. "We don't want this to get seriou—"
Just then, Takato looked over and saw Ashley, just as she looked at him. As their eyes met, it seemed as if the heavens opened for a brief moment, just between the two of them, and it was most certainly, love at first sight. Takato smiled, just as Ashley smiled.
"What were you going to say, Takato?" asked Richard, removing Rika's hands from his ears.
"Um," Takato said, shaking his head, "we don't want this to get serious. That's what I was going to say."
"So, no more arguments and catfights," Henry said, looking at Amber, "okay?"
Amber nodded. Everyone sat down around the table. By now, everyone knew who each other was and was here except Ryo.
"I guess Ryo decided not come," Jeri said.
"Yeah," Takato said, looking over to Ashley, who had a confused look on her face. "I'll explain. Come with me." Takato and Ashley got up and started walking to an area out of visible and hearing range.
"Hm, wonder where they went," Jeri said.
"Maybe about the plan with Ryo and Rika," Alice whispered, into Jeri's ear.
Jeri nodded and watched Richard, bounce up and down with glee in his chair. He struggled to get out of his chair. Jeri pulled it out and Richard jumped off, running towards the door.
"Where is he going?" Henry asked.
"Oh, beats me," Suzie said, with an innocent look on her face.
Richard came back, escorting a man to the table, with his tiny hand wrapped around the man's index and middle fingers. The young man had brown hair and you could see a twinkle in his azure eyes. He wore a pair of khaki pants, a long sleeved powder blue shirt with yellow and white wide lines, going around his shirt, and a pair of dark blue sneakers.
"Look who's here," Richard said.
