Prologue

"I'm home!!"

Bikky stood in the doorway with a dumbfounded look on his face as he peered into the unusual silence of Ryo's apartment.

"Ryo? Carol? Pervert?"

Bikky scratched his head. Usually when he called Dee a pervert it earned him a bop on the head, either from Dee himself or from Ryo, defending Dee for God-only-knows-what reason. Bikky shrugged I and dropped his backpack on the floor just inside the doorway.

A low growling sound pierced the silence, and Bikky glanced left and right with a murderous glint in his eyes, expecting to hear something like "Cut it out, De...mmph!"

Bikky's stomach growled again, and he blushed and rubbed the back of his head.

I

When he pushed open the kitchen door, Bikky almost had a heart attack.

"Surprise! Happy birthday Bikky!!" echoed throughout the apartment. Carol, Dee and Ryo stood there smiling and holding the biggest birthday cake he'd ever seen.

Bikky blinked twice before yelling, "What the hell's going on here!?"

Dee dropped his end of the cake, leaving Ryo and Carol struggling to regain their balance.

"What?! You mean you've never had a birthday party, kid? Even I've had a birthday party, and I grew up in an orphanage!"

Bikky shook off the confused look he was sporting, and got ready to put the hurt on Dee. Ryo, however, didn't think a brawl was acceptable, so while a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, be stepped in between the juvenile delinquent and Bikky (heh heh) and pushed them apart.

Both Dee and Bikky turned around and muttered an indignant 'hmph!' Bikky because he knew that if they'd actually wound up fighting, he would have won anyway, and Dee because he knew he would have lost.

Carol brought the party back on track when she offered Bikky a bright blue package with a big yellow bow.

Bikky's eyes lit up as he ripped off the wrapping paper greedily. "All right, a camera! Thanks, Carol!!" snicker snicker

Sweat visibly trickled down Dee's face as he pushed and envelope towards Bikky.

Bikky looked at the envelope for a second, then raised his head to stare at Dee with a gleam of suspicion in his eyes. He carefully ripped a tiny bit of paper off of the envelope, and when it didn't explode, practically shredded it.

There was a card, which he thoroughly ignored, and two small slips of paper, which he picked up.

Images of Carol in a bikini flashed through his mind as Bikky stared at the all-day passes to Splash World. Then, memories of all the times he'd just been able to keep Dee from...Bikky shuddered. Then, Carol appeared again, and Bikky practically had to wipe the drool from his face.

"Uh, hey, Carol...do you wanna go to Splash World with me tomorrow?"

Carol's cheeks turned light pink as she nodded.

"Happy birthday, Bikky." Ryo pulled out a large silver box and set it on the floor in front of Bikky.

Bikky pulled off the paper and found himself looking at the coolest pair of roller blades he'd ever seen. Before he even knew what he was doing, the blades were out of the box and on his feet.

As both Ryo and Bikky beamed, Ryo's phone rang.

"Hello...What? Right now? Yes chief..."

"Sorry, Bikky, but the chief needs me and Dee at the precinct ASAP. If Carol says it's okay, you can stay with her tonight if you want."

Carol nodded that it was okay, so Bikky ran to grab his bag. In the hallway, he ran into Dee, which reminded him..."Hey, moron, if you try anything funny while I'm gone...Well, lets just say you better not try anything funny." And with that, Bikky left to go to Carol's.

Author's note: I know, I know. This chapter sucked, but that's why it's not an official chapter (if you look real close, you can see that it says prologue). I really wanted this fic to just have Dee and Ryo in it, but to do that, I felt obligated to explain the other characters' absences. So now Bikky and Carol are out of the way. Please keep reading! The reason I waited so long to post this fic was because I wanted to have 2 chapters up at once!! I promise, the next one is better (also extremely mushy, but still better). PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE *gasp* PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!!! *pant pant pant* no flames please. *faint*
