Take your pick

Me: Alright, currently I have no idea of how I'm doing this, so all that comes your way as a suprise is a suprise to me too, kinda, agh bugger it I'm confused.

Rika: Just get on with it!

Me: *Pulls out a rifle* Don't yell at me!

Takato: What the hell's wrong with you!?

Me: Nyahahahahahaha! *starts poking keyboard with rifle* I'll type like this, here's Chapter 3: Encounter!

*Crash site*

The group of four finally came to the area where Renamon had seen something land the previous night. They walked to the edge of the small crater it had created and a fog surrounded it."A digital field." Rika thought aloud.

"Yeah, let's go in!" Takato said before taking off into it, Rika quickly follwing behind, but ahead of Guilmon and Renamon.

*Digital Field*

Takato entered to find himself surrounded by complete darkness other than the brown rocky floor below him. He cautiously continued forwards as he called out to the others. "Rika! Guilmon! Renamon!" Takato yelled as he walked on forwards. He awaited a reply but didn't receive one. "Geez, I haven't even found the digimon I'm meant to be against yet." Takato thought aloud, still not stopping.

Elsewhere Rika had found herself with Guilmon in an area that looked exactly the same as where Takato was. "I can't see the enemy anywhere, do you smell him?" Rika asked as she looked towards the dinosaur like digimon. Guilmon sniffed the air for a moment before replying.

"No, sorry Rika." Guilmon said.

"That's ok, I wanted to ask you something anyway...do you think there's any chance that Takato could have feelings for me?" Rika asked hopefully.

"Yeah, you and him were holding hands earlier so I'd guess so. It's because I said that, that Renamon and me..." Guilmon began before suddenly becoming silent, realizing what he'd almost said.

"Yeah, I guess we were. So, what were you about to say about you and Renamon?"

"Well, uhm, it really doesn't matter." Guilmon replied, beginning to blush.

"C'mon Guilmon just tell me, it'll stop you blushing."

"Well, me and Renamon kissed. We saw lotsa people in films do it, and they're usually quite good friends. That's why I thought we should."

"So, did Renamon approve of it?"

"Y, yeah, can we drop the subject now, it's a little embarrasing." Guilmon said lowly as he looked towards the floor.

"Ok, ok, at least you've got it off your chest now." Rika said, the two eventually came upon a change of scenery. In front of them was a large pool of lave with a pillar standing in the centre of it. Suddenly something quickly grabbed the two of them and leaped onto the pillar, holding them over the lave on opposing sides of itself in either hand.

Takato once more continued forwards, he began to tire a little but wouldn't give up until he'd found the others. Soon he came upon a sight which terriefied him, one he recognized from his dream. There on a pillar, in the centre of a pool of lava,stood a shadowy figure holding something in either hand. "No, it can't be!" Takato yelled out as he ran to the edge of the pool. He looked up to see a Piedmon standing there, Rika held in one hand and Guilmon in the other.

"Welcome Tamer, I've been waiting for you." Piedmon said mockingly, an evil grin on his face.

"W, what d'you want from me!?" Takato asked, half in anger and half in fear.

"I want a decision." He replied as he raised the two bodies in his hands above the lava, almost dropping them on purpose, so as to scare him and the two hostages.

"Agh, Takato do something!" Guilmon cried out in fear.

"Please Takato, help us!" Rika called out in the same tone.

"I want you to choose which one you want to save. You can save your best friend or the one you love, take your pick" Piedmon said sternly, still grinning, he knew he was winning.

"N, no, I can't choose between them!" Takato yelled back at him angrily. However, he looked beyond Piedmon to see someone else, someone who had come at the perfect time. In the distance he saw Renamon, who also saw him and had overheard the whole thing. Renamon raised a hand and pointed to herself and then to Guilmon, a way of showing that she would save Guilmon so he could grab Rika. Takato nodded and the two lunged at the same time.

"So, you want the girl, eh? Then it's goodbye to dino-boy!" Piedmon said as he released his grasp on Guilmon. However. just then a yellow blur whizzed past him, taking the red dinosaur with it. He looked to see Renamon land, holding Guilmon in her arms. Takato and Rika had landed on the other side. "Very clever, but you haven't won yet, Trump-swo-" Piedmon yelled his attack but was interrupted as Guilmon leaped and hit him in the stomach, knocking him down into the lava. "This isn't over, I'll get you back some day Tamers!" Piedmon called out angrily before he melted into the floor. Guilmon hopped back and landed next to Renamon, who Takato and Rika were also standing next to now. The digital field now began to dissapear until they were back at the original crash site.

*Crash Site*

They all sat down on the floor, tired out by the whole experience. "Hey Takato, why'd you save ME anyway?" Rika asked confused.

"Well, uhm, Renamon was behind you and said she'd save Guilmon." Takato replied.

"But, why'd you want to save Guilmon, Renamon?" Rika asked, even more confused.

"Well, you feel close to someone when you've shared a kiss." Renamon said, she thought it was easier to just say it straight out.

"So, you two like each other then?" Takato asked, he'd not known anything about this before.

"Yeah, just like you and Rika like each other." Guilmon replied bluntly. Without thinking the two replied, their voices in union.

"How'd you know!?" They both called out. The two stared at each other blankly before smiling lightly.

"So, you like me too?" Takato asked happily, his eyes lighting up with joy.

"Yeah, I have done for a while now Takato, I was just scared to tell you." Rika said, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tight.

"I'm glad Rika, thankyou."

"Thankyou? For what?" Rika asked as she moved away a little to face him eye to eye.

"For loving me back, Rika-chan." Takato replied, before he and Rika began to kiss. Guilmon and Renamon looked at the two, and then back to each other.

"Shall we?" Guilmon asked hopefully as he gazed up to the yellow furred vulpine.

"Definetely." Renamon replied without a moments thought, before her and Guilmon's lips also met.

*Chapter 3 end*

Me: Yipee, I did it! Sorry if I made that shorter than some of you hoped, I didn't expect to insh this chapter, I just did.

Henry: And you forgot to put me in, AGAIN!

Me: Look, you and Impmon aren't easy for me to write in, I'm sorry ok!? Besides, i let you play the part of a really cool bad-guy, that's good enough!

Henry: Fine, fine, where's the others anyway? Oh yeah, and why d'you have that rifle?

Me: The others are still acting out the last chapter and this rifle was to type with and for this. Goodbye readers! *aims rifle at screen and blows it up*
