A/N: Amber: Okay, people, I know you've longed for talent, since Ashley wrote the last chapter. And it just so happens that I've hungered for a real challenge. `I still haven't gotten one yet. I had plans for Rika's worst day ever since I read it! Ha! Take that Ashley! *Sticks tongue out* And I hope you're happy! This one is longer! Oh yes! I saw my muse. Pixiemon, is that what you said it was? *Pixiemon shimmers into view.*

Pixiemon: Hey! I deserve respect! At least you can remember my name!

Amber: Anyway, if you read something you don't like, it's probably Pixiemon's fault. *Pixiemon starts getting angry* No, I'm kidding. My muse is a slacker (my definition of a muse that doesn't give you all the answers like Ashley's *sticks tongue out*, but pretty much just the inspiration for a story.) Please pay attention, because there will be a quiz after the story. No, I'm just kidding.

Kazu: AHHHHH! A quiz!!!!!!! *runs around screaming*

Amber: Hey! I said I was kidding! By the way, just to let you know, Ashley failed the quiz. Ha-ha, Ashley! Okay, with a little disclaimer, we are off!

Disclaimer: I don't' own Digimon. I don't want to. Kinda like the way Kazu doesn't have a brain.

Kazu: Hey! I heard that!

Amber: Okay, that's it. *Loses all self control and runs around chasing Kazu.*

Kazu: Why me?! Why not Kenta?!

Amber: Because you're annoying, that's why! *Turns to face the audience.* Okay, now, ladies and gentleman, our feature presentation.

Chapter 3: Rika's worst day ever!

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP-SLAM!* Rika pounded her fist on her alarm clock, and broke it. "Jeez. That's coming out of my allowance." This was only the beginning. She looked up at the clock on her wall. "Oh my god, I'm late!!!" She threw on her clothes, whizzed (a/n: I love that word!) down the stairs, gobbled up her breakfast (only a piece of toast), grabbed her backpack, and headed out the door, only vaguely realizing she didn't put her hair up. Too late! She got to the end of her driveway only in time to have the bus whiz (a/n: there's that word again!) by her, splashing a fresh coat of mud all over her outfit. "Great. With my luck, a dress will be the only thing in my closet!"

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!* The bell resounded through the halls as Rikaslammed the door to her first hour class. "At least I'm on time," she mumbled under her breath. As she walked down the aisle to herseat, people murmured things like, "Jeez, did she lose a bet?" and "Is that Rika?" Rika would've popped them one, but she was now in front of the teacher, her fate in his hands. "Well, Miss Nonaka, I see you've joined us. Take your seat." Rika smoothed out her dress, and sat down. Her teacher sneered at the sight of her on a pretty dress. Rika scowled, and went to work, It's was gonna be a long day. She sat through class, barely able to concentrate. Finally, the bell rang. She ran out the door, and straight into Ryo. The two of them stood there, Ryo looking Rika over, and Rika dumbfounded at her luck. Rika blushed (a/n: out of character alert!) and was about to walk away when Ryo came to his senses, turned, ran, tripped, and skidded down the hallway face first. "Ouch," Rika said, and went to the next three hours fairly hassle-free.

"Oww!!!" Rika said as she slammed her finger in her locker. Her books flew into the air, (a/n: may I quote Sir Isaac Newton? What goes up must come down!) and they landed in the middle of the busy hallway (a/n: everything has a chain reaction, don't it?), What could she do? She bent down to pick up her books. She was trying to salvage her homework, when someone took her hand and pulled her up. "Oh, hi Amber," (a/n: MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!) she said.

"Hey, you sound depressed."

"Yeah, well, I'm having a bad day."

"Somehow, that sounds like an understatement to me."

"Just trust me when I say it is." And Amber bent down to help her pick up her pick up her books.

"You know, we're gonna be late."

"Yeah, not a surprise with my day. While we're on the subject, you might wanna stay away. I've had nothing but bad luck today." Rika didn't want to spread her luck around.

"I don't care. Man, are we in trouble!"

"Yeah, Strict Mr. Hansen will throw the book at us!" (A/n: Mr. Hansen is my dumb teacher :P) They shared a rare laugh.

"Well, we'd better be going!" They picked the last of her books up and headed to their doom with smiles on their faces (a/n: not for long, MUAHAHAHA!)

Yeah, they were late, and they got detention. But hey, they made it out alive. That was lucky. After school, Amber went with Rika to detention. Mr. Hansen was too busy not having a life to notice them plotting. Plus, his dorky goggle sanitizer was running. Amber took a bandanna out of her handy dandy purse, and whispered the evil plan to Rika. Mr. Hansen was standing in front of the whirring machine, "supervising the goggle cleansing" and Amber snuck up on him, and, jumped him. A few minutes later, the few people in detention were walking out of his room, ignoring the muffled shouts of protest from the gagged and bound Mr. Hansen (a/n: I've always wanted to do that!:). Rika high-fived Amber on a job well done. "I've always wanted to do that," Amber said proudly. They were stopped out in front of the building when a girl walked up to Rika apprehensively.

"Hey, you been crushin' on my boyfriend?" she asked.

"Ummmmm...no?" Rika said.

"Yeah, well my Ryo couldn't do nothin' but talk about you today."

"Ummm..excuse me?"

"You heard me."

"How is he your boyfriend?"

"I believe he asked me out, Riki."

"IT'S RIKA, YOU MORON!" And Rika punched her square in the face.

"OWWWW!!!!!!!!" the girl held her hands to her face. She managed to sputter out the words, "Well, I'll be in the Bahamas with him!"

"Oh, and by the way, I never got your name."

The girl took her hands off her nose, which was broken. "It's Nabiki." She punched Rika, and gave her a black eye.

"Hey! The name's Amber. And don't TOUCH my friend," And lapped her across the face. "Come on, Rika, she said, I'll get you home. Amber walked her home.

Rika was in a foul mood when she came home. Her eye must be bruised by now. Her mom saw her the minute she came home and said, "Rika, what happened?"

"I don't feel like talking about it."

"Rika Nonaka, get your butt over here and tell me what happened!"

"I got in a fight."

"Rika, I don't approve of you fighting."

"No kidding."

"Rika, that's it, you're grounded!"

"But mom, it wasn't my fault!"

"Young lady, don't argue!"

"Whatever." So Rika stomped up the stairs, kicked off her shoes, and flopped down on her bed. After a while, she got bored and got online. She didn't care if she was grounded. On the screen, a button flashed that said "You have been invited to the 'TAMERS ONLY' chat room! She clicked the button.

She looked at her with sad eyes. "It's about your father."
