Chapter 3 = Is This A Dream?
It was the next day after Rumiko left to.. Somewhere else. I don't even know where she went.. Anyways, Ryo, Henry, Jeri, Takato, and Kazu went to an ice cream parlor for well, of course! Ice cream!
" May I take your orders?" A blonde haired man asked. His tag read, Wally. So, I guess that's his name…
" Hi Wally! I would like a chocolate ice cream please! One scoop would be fine." Jeri said smiling at the waiter.
" I'll have the same as her." Takato said as he took out his spoon ready to eat.
" And the rest of us will have strawberry ice cream." Ryo said nicely. Soon a brown haired girl with amazing green eyes walked in the store.
" Thank you for coming. I'll have your orders here in a few minutes." Wally said as he walked away.
" Thank you." Jeri said.
" Ryo!!!!! There you are!" The brown hair, green eyes girl said running over to sit next to Ryo.
" Who's the chick?" Kazu asked playfully nudging Ryo on the side.
" Oh, hi Monika. These are my friends. Friends, this is Monika." Ryo said scooting over so Monika could sit down.
" So, Ryo, do your friends have names?" Monika asked with a delicate smile.
" Oh yeah, sorry." Ryo said.
" I'm Jeri!" Jeri said waving her hand.
" I'm Kazu" Kazu said with a smile.
" And I'm Henry." Henry said as he shook her hand.
" And I am Takato." Takato said as he gave her a smile.
" So, Ryo. Who is she? Where'd you find her?" Kazu asked determined to know.
" Like I said, this is Monika and she is my ex. We broke up a few days ago because things weren't going so well." Ryo explained.
" How long did you guys go out?" Jeri asked. I mean, it was only a month ago since Lacey left and Rika died.
" Oh, we went out for about a week or two. We didn't know we were related at the moment." Monika said with a smile.
" Yeah, she's my cousin. I didn't even know I had a cousin. I always thought my mother and father were only children." Ryo said. " But I guess my mom had a sister."
" Where do you live?" Henry asked.
" Oh, we just moved here in Shinjuku a little before Christmas." Monika told Henry.
" Where did you live before?" Takato asked.
" You guys have so many questions for her. Maybe she's getting tired of answering questions." Ryo told his friends.
" I don't mind Ryo, but I am a little tired." Monika said. The waiter came up and brought over the ice creams. Ryo paid Wally and they began to eat there ice cream
" Want my ice cream Moinka?" Kazu asked. You could tell that Kazu really like Monika. It was so obvious.
" Why thank you Kazu. I'd be happy to have your ice cream if you don't want it." Monika said as she smiled at the teenage boy. Monika went and sat over by Kazu.
Soon another girl came storming in. " RYO!!!!! I'VE MISSED YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! I WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO BORED IN AMERICA!!!!" The girl screamed.
' How can life get any worse?' Ryo asked himself. The girl came up to Ryo and sat next to him. ' Well, I've got to tell her someday in life.'
" I've missed you Ryo. I'm so glad I'm back." Lacey said smiling.
" Uh, Lacey. I have to tell you something." Ryo said.
" What is it?" The girl asked.
" Well, I'm sorry, but I guess I never really liked you. I think I only liked you then was because at first I thought… Rika had a boyfriend… and so I thought I'd get her back by making her jealous, but it only made things worse. I'm really sorry." Ryo said looking down.
It looked as if she was going to burst out in tears, but she was strong. She held them in and only looked like a sad, sad, sad puppy who lost it's mommy. " Well, okay. I understand Ryo." Lacey said. It probably was one of the nicest things she has ever done. Well, it was the nicest thing she has ever done.
" Lacey, want to sit next to me?" Henry asked.
" Really? Thanks Henry." Lacey said as she went over to sit next to Henry.
" Here is an extra spoon. You can share my ice cream with me." The very generous Henry told Lacey.
Ryo ate his ice cream and watched the couples eat their ice cream and have loads of fun. Takato and Jeri were having a conversation about, probably about some type of romantic thing. Kazu and Monika were having lots of fun. They each had ice cream on their noses and were laughing as hard as anyone could probably laugh. Henry and Lacey were getting to know each other and laughing, but not has hard as Kazu and Monika.
' Rika, I really do wish you were here. (That reminds me! Good Job DigiFreak103! You got it right! IWRWH = I Wish Rika Were/Was Here. You get a gold star! Lol) I miss you so much. Its hard to live life without you.' Ryo kept thinking.
" Ryo? Ryo? You in there?" Jeri said waving her hand in front of his face.
" What? Oh sorry you guys. Must have spaced out. Ready to go?" Ryo asked.
" No, but we're almost done." Henry said.
" I'm going to go outside and get fresh air. I'll be waiting for all of you." Ryo told everyone.
" Okay dude." Kazu said wiping some of the ice cream off his nose.
Ryo walked outside. The breeze blew. It was still cold outside, but no snow. Couples walked pass the teenage boy. All hand in hand. ' How I wish that was you and me Rika. I am so sorry. I should have been there sooner. I wish you could forgive me Rika. I love you. I really do. I'd do anything just to hear your voice one more time…' Ryo thought as he sat down on a wooden bench.
' I'm always there for you Ryo… And I love you too…'
Ryo jumped in his seat. Was he dreaming that? Or could that really be Rika's voice. It sounded like it. It went with the wind. Ryo couldn't believe it. Was it a dream, or was she really there?
Dark Shadow: And there's chapter 3! I'll have chapter 4 out really soon! This story is starting to heat up!
Dark Angel: How is this a freakin Ryuki story?!
Dark Heart: Yeah! I mean, RIKA IS DEAD!
Dark Shadow: You'll see. C ya l8erz'
