Take Your Pick

Me: Alright, I've decided, this story won't last to long for unknown reasons.

Henry: Hey, are you gonna include me this time?

Me: Uhm, maybe, depends how it goes, we'll see.

Takato: C'mon hurry up, I wanna see how this develops.

Me: Ugh, ok, begin Chapter 2: Traveling.

*On the way to the crash site*

Takato and Rika continued walking side by side, as Guilmon and Renamon walked together a little further back."So, what was it that you wanted to say earlier?" Rika asked as she turned to face Takato.

"Oh that, uhm, i, it's not important." Takato stuttered nervously as he blushed a little.

"Takato, you're going red, are you feeling ok?" Rika said worriedly as she grasped his hand lightly.

"Y, yeah, I'm fine."

"No Takato you're not, come on tell me what's wrong, it'll help you to get it off your chest."

"Ok then, here goes." Takato said before taking a deep breath and beginning to explain what his dream had portrayed. "Well, I see myself in a strange place with a pool of lava ahead of me. There's a pillar in the center of the lava and I see a blurred dark figure holding you in one hand and Guilmon in the other. Then he drops you both at the same time, I don't want to let either of you fall, but I only have enough time to save one, then I wake up."

"There, don't you feel much better now?" Rika said, still grasping his hand in hers.

"Yeah I guess so, thanks Rika" Takato said as he wrapped his hand around hers also.

"Hey Renamon look, Rika and Takato are holding hands." Guilmon said as he nudged Renamon who was gazing up towards the sky. Renamon looked down to him and then towards the two tamers and gave a slight smile.

"What's wrong with them holding hands?" Renamon said as she looked back to him once more.

"Well, it just seems unusual, I've only ever seen people in love on T.V holding hands before."

"Well, maybe they are. I admit I'd be suprised, but I've seen those same kinda films on T.V and it always seems to be two close friends like them." Renamon explained before reducing her tone to a mutter.

"What was thatlast bit Renamon? I didn't hear it."

"Oh, i, it doesn't matter." Renamon stuttered as she blushed a little.

"Agh! Renamon I'm sorry, don't get mad at me!" Guilmon said as he backed away a little.

"What? What are you talking about Guilmon?" Renamon asked, giggling a little.

"You went red like you did when you used to get angry at me for helping you."

"Calm down Guilmon, I'm a lot better at keeping my calm now. Anyway, why would I be angry at you?"

"Uhm, because I asked you what you muttered earlier?"

"Don't worry Guilmon, I can't tell you what I said butI won't be mad at you for it." Renamon said happily.

Rika and Takato continued onwards, both not realizing that they were still holding hands. However, Rika didn't notice a large rock on the ground in front of her and tripped, falling on her back. She also brought Takato crashing down on top of her as she still had his hand grasped in her own. Takato braced, expecting to hit the hard concrete beneath him, however he landed on something much softer. He opened his eyes to see Rika with her eys closed facing up to him. He let outa deep sigh as he gazed down at her, to him she was perfext. Her complexion, the way she acted, the sound of her voice, all of it. Rika's eyes slowly flickered open as she gazed up to him. Takato quickly shook out of his trance like state and got off her, then offering his hand to help her get up. Guilmon and Renamon had also by now come to stand next to her and offered her there hands to get up. Rika looked upand thought to herself.

"Wait a minute, if I take Renamon's hand, Takato might think I don't like him, but if I take his, then Renamon might work out I like him." Rika thought as she gazed upto the three. "Well, guess there's only one other choice then." Rika gave her hand to Guilmon who pulled her to her feet.

"Thanks." Rika said quickly. "So, shall we continue?" Rika asked as she looked around to them. They all nodded in agreement before beginning to walk once more in the two pairs they had been previously.

"Hey Renamon, why'd Rika get me to help her up?" Guilmon asked curiously.

"I think it's because if I helped he up then Takato would get the impression she didn't like him, yet if Takato helped her she thought I'd be offended." Renamon said, not stopping to think about it.

"Wow, you came up with that quick." Guilmon said, trying his best to compliment her.

"You know, I kinda envy them."

"You do? But, you never seemed the type for that kind of thing, no offense or anything."

"None taken, it's just that humans always seem to think a kiss is so great, I wanna know what it's like."

"Yeah I guess so. Hey Renamon, then why don't you and me kiss?"

"Wh, what?" Renamon stuttered as she turned red once more.

"You're going red again, are you angry?"

"No, it's just I didn't expect something like that from you."

"Well, you said the people in those films are always good friends, like me and you." Guilmon said hopefully.

"Yeah I guess so, ok then." Renamon said as she squatted down so she was about the same height as him. They moved a little closer and their lips met. Renamon and Guilmon both felt themselves become warmer and felt something they had never felt before. They pulled away and looked at each other in amazement.

"Wow, no wonder humans do that on so many films." Guilmon said happily.

"Yeah, I, I feel a little weak too. Could you, carry me for a while Guilmon, please?" Renamon asked blissfully.

"Yeah, sure thing." Guilmon replied before cradling her in his arms and running to catch up with their tamers who had carried on ahead, too occupied with casting glances towards one another while the other wasn't looking.

*Chapter 2 End*

Me: Hah! Once more, not too short!

Guilmon and Renamon: ... *smiling insanely*

Me: Are, you two ok?"

Takato: I think you've pleased them to speechlessness.

Me: And I think you spelt that wrong, though I'm not sure.

Rika: But, you're the one who's typing, how'd HE spell it wrong?

Me: ...shut-up and go away until chapter 3!
