Ashley: Hehe...uh...sorry it took so long for this chapter to get out! Don't kill me! Anyway, I got it out so there! Alright, back to what needs to be said....I just have to tell you that this chapter is for kicks...it makes NO SENSE whatsoever but makes it very very hilarious! And, if you see many words that make no sense to you also, it is because I said to Amber, 'In chapter 10 I will use some of our vocab words from Language Arts class'...so, to make it short, you were warned.
And, just so no one will flame me, I LIKE KOUJI...I DON'T HATE HIM! I JUST NEEDED HIM TO ACT LIKE HE DOES IN THE STORY TO DEVELOP THE CHARACTER HE IS PORTRAYING! SO...I'M NOT TRYING TO BASH KOUJI...HE'S ONE OF MY FAV. CHARACTERS! (I don't like him as much as Takato but...yeah...Amber likes him though.)
Amber: HEY!
Ashley: Hehe...um...disclaimer?
Takato: Yep! Ashley owns Digimon. She also owns Kim Possible, Hey Arnold, The Amanda Show, American Idol, Mulan, The Osbournes, SpongebobSquarePants, As Told By Ginger, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. And, to top it off, she can control the government....if you just believed that, I suggest you go to a shrink...

"So, next to do on the list is to find Nabiki, right?" Ryo asked, walking along side of Rika, as she was walking very fast down the earthy path.
"Correct," Rika answered, and then muttered, "Her expedient self..."
"Well..." Ryo went on, ignoring Rika, "I bet she has a lair somewhere around here."
"Guys? What about me?" Kouji asked from behind them.
"Oh, sorry, Kouji....I guess we weren't cognizant of you being here..." Rika said, "I'm beeping Henry...maybe he will know where Nabiki's lair is."
Henry? Are u there?
Rika, Ryo, and Kouji huddled around the small beeper, waiting for an answer. It took almost 15 minutes to get one.
I was sleeping...
SLEEPING? Oh, come on, wake up, it's a whole new day Henry! I need you to check something out for me anyway.
What?
Do you read any large power signals around the Bahama's?
Let me check...
It was a long time before they finally got an answer, but it was the answer they were hoping for.
Yeah, but the place is supposedly "haunted".
DUH! That's where lairs are SUPPOSED to be...
I'll just be going now. Oh, yeah, before I forget, there are new gadgets for you. Look in your backpack.
"Oh, cool, new toys!" Kouji said, looking through Rika's backpack on the trail, "A pen?" Kouji fished out a pen, and accidently clicked the button on the side of it. Pink goo splattered his face.
Word of warning. Watch out for the pen...it has rubber constricting glue in it...
"Get it off! Get it off!" Kouji ran around, screaming. Finally, he did get it off, but tripped into a pile of thorn bushes. "I'm okay..." Kouji said weakly, lifting one of his arms.
"Okay, let's go..." Rika said, negligently. Soon, they had reached the end of the "forest" and came upon a huge hill, with an edifice on top, and the roaring sea below.
"Woah! Now that's a liar!" Kouji said.
"Use the hooks," Rika said, pulling hers out from her belt. Then she swung it around, and threw it. It landed perfectly in a ridge at the top of the hill. Rika smiled smugly. Then she propelled herself up the hill. Ryo went next, and it got up the hill as easily as Rika.
Now, it was Kouji's turn. He threw the hook, and it did land on the top of the hill...but it took his pants along with him.
"URGH! I'll get it this time!" Kouji shouted, wrapping the hook around his waist and throwing the hook. After some difficulty, he finally got up.
"Okay, you guys, stay together, and don't make a clamor!" Rika whispering, walking carefully on the ground. Ryo followed her but Kouji walked by, carelessly. What resulted from that was a trap door opening up, making Rika, Ryo, and Kouji slid down a long tunnel.
"Weeeeeeee....!" Kouji shouted, making quite a clamor sliding down the tunnel, oblivious to what Rika said earlier.
Finally, they came to the end of the tunnel, and onto a platform in the middle of a swimming pool looking thing, but with sharks in the water.
"Aha....my foe comes to join me..." a dark shadow said from the darkness.
"Nabiki! Just get out here!!!" Rika shouted. The dark shadow came forward, obviously revealing Nabiki. She was dressed in a pair of black pants and a shirt, with a mad-scientist lab coat over it. She was wearing loads of black make-up and her long blonde hair was pulled up into a tight bun. She had black boots on, much like Jesse's used to be, sunglasses, and black leather gloves. To recapitulate, Nabiki looked like very fashionable evil scientist.
"Hmmm..." Nabiki said, taking off her sunglasses and twirling them between her fingers, "Ryo, baby...what are you doing here? If you come back to my side, I won't put you in any danger..." Nabiki smirked.
"Nabiki - " Ryo started, but made the mistake of looking into Nabiki's eyes. Ryo suddenly got a glazed look in his eyes. "I will go to your side, Nabiki..." Ryo recited, as if he were in a trance.
"Good boy..." Nabiki coaxed.
"Ryo, snap out of it!" Rika shouted, to no prevail, and started waving her hand in front of his face, "Ryo, wake up this instant! RYO!"
"Girl, he won't wake up until I tell him to snap out of it...too bad..."
"Nabiki, you are - " Rika started but Nabiki interrupted.
"You can vilify me all you want...but Ryo is on my side now..." Nabiki leaned onto the wall to watch the amusing situation.
"Ryo, come on!" Then Rika suddenly got an idea. "If this is the only way, then so be it..." she muttered. Then she stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him, full on the lips.
"HEY!" Kouji shouted.
Rika stood back on her feet (otherwords, not her tiptoes) and waited. After a moment, Ryo rubbed his head, and blinked, so the glazed look in his eyes went away.
"What happened?" Ryo asked groggily, still rubbing his aching head.
"You fell under Nabiki's spell again..." Rika answered, looking over at the appalled Nabiki.
"Hey, that wasn't supposed to happen! I'm the only one who can revive Ryo!!!" Nabiki eyes flared. Rika smirked. Nabiki moved over to the other side of the wall, where a switch was. "Well, if you don't wanna come to my side, maybe you can stay for - "
"Urgh...that line is so overrated," Kouji said.
"What?" Nabiki asked, innocently.
"Dude, you were so for lunch..." Kouji grinned.
"Okay, okay then...stay for lunch!" Nabiki yelled, throwing the switch.
The platform gave out, and Rika, Ryo, and Kouji fell into the shark- infested waters.
"AAHHHHHHH!" Kouji shouted under water making a series of bubbles to come out of his mouth. Rika grabbed at her utility belt, bringing out the pen. A shark was gaining fast...she pressed the button just in time and the pink goo splattered into the shark's mouth. Rika threw the pen to Ryo, momentarily forgetting about the Kouji (who was in deep trouble by now), and he splattered the pink goo at all the sharks by him.
"HHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!" Kouji blew out bubbles.
Ryo regrettably swam over to the sharks surrounding Kouji and got pressed the life-saving button. Then they all swam to the top and took a breath of air.
"Come on, let's go..." Rika said, climbing out of the "pool", and slinking away into the shadows.
Ryo and Kouji followed. If they would have stayed just a moment after, they would have saw something very unusual. Three dancing lobsters came out of a room on the side, while a girl with black hair and glasses ran out behind them, shouting, "AMANDA? AMANDA PLEASE!" The dancing lobsters kept on dancing, while the girl ran around and around. Suddenly, a squirrel hopped forward.
"You sir!" The girl shouted, pointing at the confused squirrel, "My name is Penelope Taynt, I am Amanda's number one fan please. Have you seen Amanda?"
"Chit chit," the squirrel said, cocking his head to one side.
"Here please," Penelope said, unfolding the labtop she had around her, "Amandaplease.com. Amanda's number one fansite please. Here you will find everything you need to know about Amanda, and I also have a picture of Amanda sucking a lemon. Do you recognize this girl please?"
"Chit..." the squirrel shook its head.
"URGH please!" Penelope shouted, running away, as the dancing lobsters went back into the other room.
~*BACK TO RIKA, RYO, AND KOUJI*~
We see the gang behind a big object of some kind, watching Nabiki pace around like an evil scientist.
"Hmm...if only I can make all the guys in the world to fall in love with me..." Nabiki muttered, then suddenly stopped, "THAT'S IT!"
"Oh god..." Rika said, rolling her eyes, "She's so vain..."
Nabiki ran over to a machine-looking thing, and started typing in numbers. "Jesse, come here!"
Rika eyes widened as she heard the name Jesse...she wasn't alive...was she? A girl dressed in green clothes came forward.
"Yes?"
It was Jesse.
"I need your help...I need to make all the guys in the whole wide world fall in love with me...review the calculations!" Nabiki ordered.
"Why do yer get to have all the men?" Jesse asked.
"Well, just look at me..." Nabiki said, brandishing a mirror from her back pocket.
Jesse coughed, which sounded a lot like, 'expedient'. Then she went over a computer and started to type in numbers. Nabiki laughed evilly, and then sat down and relaxed.
"Okay, guys..." Rika whispered, turning around to face them, "We need to stop Nabiki's evil plan. Stay together - "
"And be careful!" Rika, Ryo, and Kouji said at the exact same time.
"Jinx! You guys both owe me a soda!" Rika grinned.
"Aw man..." Kouji moaned.
"Come on guys! Let's go!" Rika whispered more urgently. Ryo and Kouji nodded their heads, and they were off.
~*WITH RIKA*~
Rika stood behind the machine Jesse was typing numbers in. The machine that would make all guys fall in love with Nabiki. Rika needed to do something. Many desultory ideas were crammed into Rika's head, but only one would seem to work, and it was easy. Rika eyed the plug and pulled.
The sound of the machine shutting down filled the room. Nabiki immediately stood up.
"Jesse! What did you do now?"
"Way-ell, I didn't do nuttin. Yer probably did it," Jesse retorted, her eyes flaring.
"If it wasn't me and it wasn't you then..." Nabiki thought out loud.
"RIKA!" Nabiki and Jesse shouted at the same time.
Rika shot out of her hiding place and ran across the room.
"Get her!" Nabiki shouted, pointing to Rika.
"I'm on it, Nabiki," Jesse said, as green fire came out of her hands. Rika took one look at Jesse's glowing hands, and was off.
Rika jumped out of the way, trying to get away from Jesse, while Ryo and Kouji tried to follow Rika.
"Hey Rika! RIKA!" Kouji shouted, jumping in the way of Rika, resulting in Rika crashing into him, and then chasing into Ryo, and then all of them crashing into one of Nabiki's machines.
"NOOOO! My machine!" Nabiki shouted, as the machine started to flicker and spark. Then, in a blinding flash, Ryo, Rika, and Kouji were gone.
ZAP!!!
Suddenly they were all at a school, on the steps, while a bus dropped off kids. The sign above the school read P.S. 118.
"P.S. 118?! Isn't that where - " Rika started, but stopped. "What am I wearing?" Rika was wearing a pink dress with a hot pink stripe. Her hair turned blonde and was in two pigtails, with a pink bow on her head.
"Noooo...pink..." Rika moaned.
"Well, look what I'm wearing!" Ryo, or was it Ryo?, complained. He was wearing what looked like a kilt, but was actually a shirt that went underneath his blue one, and his hair was yellow, he had a blue hat, and not to mention a football shaped head.
"We're in....HEY ARNOLD!" Rika and Ryo shouted at the same time. Both started to panic until Rika calmed down to say something.
"The machine in Nabiki's lair must of did it...we're somehow in another show!"
Ryo looked around. "Hey, where's Kouji?"
Out of nowhere, Kouji appeared, with red hair and freckles, singing a badly out of tune song.
"We saved our neighborhood! They could not tear it down! They could not turn our smiles into frowns......!!!!!"
"Uh..."
"SING WITH ME!"
"Kouji..."
"Football head, make him stop!"
"Alright...Helga..." Ryo said and walked up to Kouji. It looked as if he was gonna punch him but we would of never found out anyway because...ZAP!!!
"Okay, where are we now?" Rika asked, as they dropped into another scene.
"TOTALLY KYLE!" a voice came from nowhere, and they noticed a guy with long blonde hair standing on a stage with a guitar.
"Like one time..." the guy started saying, flicking his hair around, "I was at the store with my mom and we bought macaroni and cheese. When we got to the checkout, it, like, wouldn't scan. But...then it did, and my mom paid for it..."
"That was Totally Kyle!" a voice came out of nowhere again.
"Totally!" 'Kyle' said, and started strumming on his guitar.
"Alright..." Rika said, rolling his eyes.
"That was....COOL!" Kouji said, running up to Kyle, "Can I have your autograph?"
"Sure, dude," Kyle said, grabbing a pen from a guy off stage and signing Kouji's shirt.
"Wow...thanks!" Kouji shouted, jumping up and down. ZAP!!!
"Okay, Kelly, sing 'A Moment Like This' for us," Paula Abdul said, smiling up at RIKA!
"Wha - " Rika looked confused.
"Rika, just sing!" Ryo whispered from the sidelines.
"Uh...." Rika took a deep breath and started singing.
What if I told you it was all meant to be? Would you believe me? Would you agree? It's almost that feeling, that we've met before So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy, When I tell you love has come here and now...
A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever for that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this
'Did Ashley sing this song for karaoke? Does that mean we've gone back in time as well?' Rika thought as she continued with her very good singing. (A/N: I had to add that because I just remembered...hehe...)
Everything changes but beauty remains Something so tender I can't explain Well, I may be dreaming but till I awake Can we make this dream last forever? And I'll cherish all the love we share...
Finally came the sound Rika was hoping for. ZAP!!!
"Thank goodness I'm out of there!" Rika shouted as the scene around them changed once again. This time it showed many soliders, with stick-looking things. A guy without a shirt on was standing in front of them, looking determined. It was then Rika and Kouji noticed that they also were soliders, Rika being the only girl. And they also noticed that the guy without the shirt on was Ryo.
'Don't look! Don't look!' Rika pleaded her mind, looking at the ground. But she couldn't help it...Ryo was just standing there...without a shirt on...that is until Ryo began to sing...
"Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns!
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?"
Ryo seemed way into his role, but Rika and Kouji just stood there, making up some moves with the sticks like the guys around. Rika and Kouji accidently knocked down some guys.
"You're the saddest bunch I ever met! But you can bet, before we're through! Mister I'll make a man out of you!"
Ryo started teaching them some basic training rules, going with the lovely version of the song from Mulan.
"Tranquil as a forest, but on fire within. Once you find your center, you are sure to win!
You're a spineless pale pathetic lot, And you haven't got a clue. Somehow I'll make a man out of you."
Now, Rika and Kouji were training pleading in their minds the exact same thing, 'Get us out of here...PLEASE!' And Kouji's addition, 'Do the zappy thing!'
A guy next to them started singing, 'I'm never gonna catch my breath." And the guy next to the other guy, 'Say goodbye to those who knew me.'
And Kouji suddenly had the urge to sing, which he gave in. "Boy was I a fool at school for cutting gym."
Rika watched all from a tree, which a dragon/lizard-looking thing came down, and started singing too, "This guy's got 'em scared to death!"
Rika stared until she started singing uncontrollably also, "Hope he doesn't see right through me."
And lastly, the guy who was on a pole in the middle of the lake. "Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!"
Finally, the solos for the solider were over and Ryo and some voices coming from an unknown place took over.
"Be a man!
You must be swift as the coursing river!
Be a man!
With all the strength of a great typhoon! Be a man!
With all the force of a raging fire! Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!"
And the sound came at last! ZAP!!!
Rika fell into this room. 'Where am I now? Hope not in the middle of a *%#$ song.' Rika jumped. 'Did I just swear?' Then Rika looked into the mirror. She looked like Kelly Osbourne. Suddenly, she another urge to sing. 'Urgh...'
"You say I should do it differently I don't necessarily agree. Stand up! Sit down! Be nice!
Did ya hear me ask for your advice? Don't bother trying to tell me your beliefs Your point of view is pretty straight to me Do this! Do that! On track! Do me a favor and don't talk back!
Round and round but the conversation Always ends where it began! Round and round and I need a vacation My god, I've had it from you!
Shut up! Don't wanna hear your voice Shut up! I'm sick of all the noise There's nothing you can say to me So get away from me Shut up!
Rika finally had enough will to pull herself away from singing. She took her chance.
"Ryo! Kouji! Where the %*$# are you guys?!" Rika cursed once again.
"*#$% lady, we're right here!" ZAP!!! (A/N: I couldn't take the swearing...^_^)
"YES! No more swearing!" Rika shouted, "Okay, so where are we now?"
"You're at the Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Pattie!" a squeaky voice came from behind them. They turned around and saw a talking sponge.
"Spongebob! Oh man...I always wanted to meet you!" Kouji shouted, shaking his hand, "Where's Squidward? Mr. Krabbs? Plankton? Sandy? Gary? Patrick?"
"Uh...would you like a Krabby Pattie?" Spongebob asked.
Kouji's eyes got all sparkly as he took the Krabby Pattie with extreme care, then thrust it up into the air...uh...water. "I GET A KRABBY PATTIE!"
"Here you go," Spongebob said, producing a plate with two more patties on it. Ryo and Rika took one, and they all, at the same time, took a bite.
"This...this...this is GOOD! I love Krabby Patties!" Kouji shouted, waving the pattie around happily. But, sadly, Kouji didn't get to finish his Krabby Pattie because....ZAP!!!
"Pattie!" Kouji cried, in the fetal poistion.
"Look at that! Pretty pathetic, right Courtney?" a girl with black braids asked a girl with blonde hair.
"Yes, but I can't help feeling sorry for him, Miranda," Courtney said, making a sympathetic face. Miranda shook her head and Courtney and her made their way down the hall.
"Omigosh, the band is going to Sasha's school! You have to go Ginger!" a girl with pigtails passed, with two other girls. The red-head, supposed Ginger, smiled.
"I just might go Dodie..."
Rika smirked. "This is the episode where she figures out Sasha double- timing her! I always wanted to do this!" Rika came out from under the stairway and walked up to Ginger and her friends.
"Hi Ginger!" Rika said, as Ginger turned around, "You don't know me, but I know you. Sasha is double-timing you. He's going out with another girl named Clover."
"How could you say that!?" Dodie shrieked.
"It's true. You don't have to believe me, you'll find out sooner or later." Rika walked back to where Kouji and Ryo were waiting. "That was fun."
ZAP!!!
Rika laid down on the grass. "This is NOT my best day..." she grumbled. It wasn't till then when she noticed what she actually turned into.
"I'M A LIONESS!" Looking down, she also noticed something again. "Not just a lioness, I'm Nala from 'The Lion King'!" 'Great....just great...'
"Hey Rika! Where are you?" Simba's voice called out across the plains.
"I'm standing on the edge of the plains as Nala...duh..." Rika called out. Simba came leaping from the tall grass (A/N: Plains...same difference) a minute later.
"Don't 'duh' me...I wouldn't of known that..." 'Simba' said.
"Let me guess...Ryo, right?"
"Correct...wonder where Kouji is..." Ryo said, looking out to the plains.
"I'm here, I'm here...hakuna matata..." Kouji yelled, jumping out in front of them as a warthog.
Rika smirked. "A warthog..." she muttered, turning away to not laugh.
"Well, you're a lioness!" Kouji said in Pumbaa's voice.
"At least I'm not a...warthog..."
"I'd rather be Timon," Kouji murmured, as Ryo looked out to the plains.
"I heard something," he said. A growling filled the air around them.
"HYENAS!" Kouji shouted, as they all started to run away.
"Well...this is loads of fun!" Rika panted.
"Keep going!" Ryo shouted. The hyenas were gaining. ZAP!!!
"And what scene are we in now? Hercules? Taildaters? Perhaps The Nick Cannon Show?" Rika moaned.
"How about real life?" Ryo said, spread his arms out, motioning Nabiki's lair.
"Oh thank you!" Rika sighed.
Then, out of nowhere, a screen came down and the face of Nabiki appeared on it. An evil laugh filled the room.
"Mwhahaha...hello, archenemies. If you have made it back, I hope not though, you are too late! I'm off to the wedding when I become rich like your father (A/N: Uh...pretend Rika's dad is rich). Wedding starts in two hours, again I say, you're too late! Mwhahaha..."
Rika's fists clenched. "I hate her...come on, we need to get to that wedding!" They all ran out of the lair and through the forest, until they got to the main road. Luckily, the motorcycle shop was right next to the road.
"Uh, sir, we need to borrow a motorcycle," Ryo said, walking up to a motorcycle dude.
"Sure, twenty dollars..." the man said. Ryo quickly paid him, and they were off on a motorcycle.
"Hey, I just remembered something!" Ryo shouted over the wind.
"What?" Rika shouted back.
"Why couldn't you have used one of your gadgets to get us a ride?"
"Motorcycles are more fun!" Rika yelled.
"But they're not comfortable," Kouji grumbled, sitting in the little carriage hooked onto the motorcycle. It took only a short amount of time before they were near the shore, and Rika ran up to the banks.
"There! There's the ship!" Rika said, pointing to a cute little ship barely noticeable, as the sea breeze (A/N: Nooooo...science...he's gonna get us! *people stare* Uh...back to the story) blew in.
"How do we get there?" Kouji asked, as Rika rummaged through her backpack, and finally pulled out the pen and rope.
"Get that pen away from me!" Kouji whimpered.
"What are you planning to do?" Ryo asked, but Rika answered when she jumped in the waters. "RIKA! THIS IS SHARK-ZONE! THAT MEANS SHARKS! RIIIIIKAAAAAAAA!!!"
Once again the shark gained up on Rika, but Rika had the pen ready and blasted them. Then she tied the rope around the shark's...um...mouth? and had it swim over to the bank.
"We're taking the shark...c'mon," Rika said, as Ryo and a still whimpering Kouji got on the shark. Then they rode off into the horizon, but not before Rika tempted a sea gull near her and put a device on it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sea gull, following the instructions the device was giving him, finally made it to the ship. He flew down low, and near the window. Back on the shark, Rika, Ryo, and Kouji could hear everything the device was picking up.
The sea gull's device picked up a person singing.
"Things are working out according to my ultimate design. Soon I'll have that millionaire and his money will be mine!"
Then there was evil laughter, sounding a lot like Nabiki's.
"That's Nabiki's mom! Hurry, we have to get there quick!" Rika gasped, as the shark went faster.
~*BACK ON THE SHIP*~
Nabiki's mom was walking down the aisle, her head up high. A dog started to growl at her, but she kicked it to make it stop.
The priest cleared his throat once Nabiki's mom took her place next to Rika's dad.
"Eric Andrew Nonaka, do you take this lady, Vanessa Lynn Jones as your lawfully wedded wife for as long as you both shall live?" (A/N: Yes, I got the names from The Little Mermaid, hehe.)
Rika's dad had this glazed look in his eyes as he said, "I do."
"And do you - " Both the priest was cut short when a flock of birds came soaring down and went through Vanessa's dress. The dog started barking furiously. Some squirrels, who know how they got there, came down and started scampering all over the place. Birds flew above Vanessa and dropped water on her as she began to shriek. Then a crab pinched her nose.
"HELP ME!" Vanessa cried out. Everyone looked shocked, except Nabiki who came forward to help, but got attacked too.
"By the power - " the priest kept going.
Finally, Rika, Ryo, and Kouji got to the ship and climbed up the pole to get onboard.
Vanessa went flying into the cake. The dog, who was straining to get loose, succeeded, and jumped on her. The necklace Vanessa was wearing flew off her neck and fell into Rika's hands. A sort of mist came out of the shell as Rika began to sing.
"Ahhhh..." Rika sang.
"Hey, I didn't know you could sing," Ryo said.
Rika made a face and threw the shell overboard. "This isn't mine."
Ariel came swimming up to the ship. "Hey thanks!" Ariel shouted after the mist surrounded her.
The glazed look in Rika's dad, Eric's, eyes went away, and looked around. Then he saw Rika and walked up to her.
"Rika?! What did you do? What did you screw up this time?" Eric shouted.
"What are you talking about? Why are you blaming ME? Blame her!" Rika shouted, pointing at Vanessa.
"Who's she?" Rika's dad asked, looking confused.
"Your fiancé," Rika explained. Nabiki's mom got a evil look on her face as she marched up to Rika and took her by the hand.
"If you can't have me," Vanessa snarled, "You can't have your daughter either!" Then she jumped over the edge of the ship, taking Rika with her.
"RIKA!!!" Ryo shouted, looking at the dark waters below.
Nabiki held Ryo back from jumping in after Rika.
"Sorry, darling, you stay here with me..." Nabiki said, as Ryo spun around.
"I don't like you Nabiki! So, LET GO!" Ryo snapped.
"You don't like me, huh? You like that little runt down there, don't ya? Well, too bad, you're MINE!"
Suddenly, something tackled Nabiki to the ground. "Yew don get all the men! Yew gonna stay here-ah!" Jesse shouted.
"Let go Jesse! I need to get Ryo before he - " Nabiki started but didn't see Ryo.
(A/N: Add Scooby-Doo music) "RIKA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ryo shouted, swimming through the waters. A second later he heard splashing next to him, as a head emerged from the water.
"I fended her off, I think she's gone," Rika explained, spurting out some water.
"Good, let's get back to the ship," Ryo said, as they swam over to the ship and climbed onboard.
"Where's my mom?" Nabiki demanded, running up to them, "And, Ryo, why'd did you save this %*$#^?" (A/N: Seems like we're back in the Osbournes.)
"Go save your mom," Ryo said, pointing to the waters.
"She's out there?" Nabiki gasped. For a split second, they all thought Nabiki cared about her mom. But they were wrong. "She owes me fifty!" Then Nabiki jumped into the ocean.
"Sayonara!" Rika shouted, as the ship started off.
"HEY! Don't leave me hereeee - " Nabiki's voice trailed off.
The ship sailed back to sea, where everyone was waiting for them. Ryo walked up to Rika and looked out in the ocean.
"Hey, Rika, this reminds me," Ryo said.
"Huh?"
"You know when I saved your life in the forest? Uh...did you kiss me?" Ryo asked.
Rika gulped, and thought of something. "Oh that...of course not! You were hallucinating."
"Really? Oh..." Ryo said, sounding depressed.
"Why did this just remind you of that?"
"Oh, because this is always the part in the movie where they kiss," Ryo said.
Rika actually laughed. "True." A couple seconds later she added something, "This trip seems like a whole movie, with all the weird stuff going on."
"Yeah, it was fun though."
Ryo and Rika were thinking the exact same thing then, 'Should we kiss?' and were about to until...
Kouji came sliding in front of them. "We saved our neighborhood! They could not tear it down! They could not turn our smiles into frowns!"
'Urgh...' Rika thought, shaking her head, 'Oh well...we'll have another chance.' Then Rika smiled. 'And hope it's real soon.'
Now we can walk, now we can run, Now we can stay all day in the sun Just you and me, then I can be Part of your world
Back to the bank of the ocean, at night, we see a head emerge from the water and walk to the bank. The figure's long blonde hair glistened in the moonlight. That could only be one person.
Nabiki!
Nabiki stopped in the middle of the beach and clenched her fists. "I will get revenge on you Rika Nonaka. You just wait!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ashley: Noooo...Nabiki's back! I thought I got rid of her! But I liked the song at the end, it contributes to the mood...uh...sort of. Well, another chapter done. Half this chapter was done in one night, forgetting about the lovely two quizzes I had the next day.

~*A SPECIAL NOTE*~
Would anyone like to read a fanfic where the tamers get stuck in the future? I seriously don't know if I'll post that story, it's already 25 pages long! Persuade me to post it! PLWEASE?
R&R!!!
Ashley: Hehe...uh...sorry it took so long for this chapter to get out! Don't kill me! Anyway, I got it out so there! Alright, back to what needs to be said....I just have to tell you that this chapter is for kicks...it makes NO SENSE whatsoever but makes it very very hilarious! And, if you see many words that make no sense to you also, it is because I said to Amber, 'In chapter 10 I will use some of our vocab words from Language Arts class'...so, to make it short, you were warned.
And, just so no one will flame me, I LIKE KOUJI...I DON'T HATE HIM! I JUST NEEDED HIM TO ACT LIKE HE DOES IN THE STORY TO DEVELOP THE CHARACTER HE IS PORTRAYING! SO...I'M NOT TRYING TO BASH KOUJI...HE'S ONE OF MY FAV. CHARACTERS! (I don't like him as much as Takato but...yeah...Amber likes him though.)
Amber: HEY!
Ashley: Hehe...um...disclaimer?
Takato: Yep! Ashley owns Digimon. She also owns Kim Possible, Hey Arnold, The Amanda Show, American Idol, Mulan, The Osbournes, SpongebobSquarePants, As Told By Ginger, The Lion King, and The Little Mermaid. And, to top it off, she can control the government....if you just believed that, I suggest you go to a shrink...
Ashley: *grins*...and here's the chapter...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, next to do on the list is to find Nabiki, right?" Ryo asked, walking along side of Rika, as she was walking very fast down the earthy path.
"Correct," Rika answered, and then muttered, "Her expedient self..."
"Well..." Ryo went on, ignoring Rika, "I bet she has a lair somewhere around here."
"Guys? What about me?" Kouji asked from behind them.
"Oh, sorry, Kouji....I guess we weren't cognizant of you being here..." Rika said, "I'm beeping Henry...maybe he will know where Nabiki's lair is."
Henry? Are u there?
Rika, Ryo, and Kouji huddled around the small beeper, waiting for an answer. It took almost 15 minutes to get one.
I was sleeping...
SLEEPING? Oh, come on, wake up, it's a whole new day Henry! I need you to check something out for me anyway.
What?
Do you read any large power signals around the Bahama's?
Let me check...
It was a long time before they finally got an answer, but it was the answer they were hoping for.
Yeah, but the place is supposedly "haunted".
DUH! That's where lairs are SUPPOSED to be...
I'll just be going now. Oh, yeah, before I forget, there are new gadgets for you. Look in your backpack.
"Oh, cool, new toys!" Kouji said, looking through Rika's backpack on the trail, "A pen?" Kouji fished out a pen, and accidently clicked the button on the side of it. Pink goo splattered his face.
Word of warning. Watch out for the pen...it has rubber constricting glue in it...
"Get it off! Get it off!" Kouji ran around, screaming. Finally, he did get it off, but tripped into a pile of thorn bushes. "I'm okay..." Kouji said weakly, lifting one of his arms.
"Okay, let's go..." Rika said, negligently. Soon, they had reached the end of the "forest" and came upon a huge hill, with an edifice on top, and the roaring sea below.
"Woah! Now that's a liar!" Kouji said.
"Use the hooks," Rika said, pulling hers out from her belt. Then she swung it around, and threw it. It landed perfectly in a ridge at the top of the hill. Rika smiled smugly. Then she propelled herself up the hill. Ryo went next, and it got up the hill as easily as Rika.
Now, it was Kouji's turn. He threw the hook, and it did land on the top of the hill...but it took his pants along with him.
"URGH! I'll get it this time!" Kouji shouted, wrapping the hook around his waist and throwing the hook. After some difficulty, he finally got up.
"Okay, you guys, stay together, and don't make a clamor!" Rika whispering, walking carefully on the ground. Ryo followed her but Kouji walked by, carelessly. What resulted from that was a trap door opening up, making Rika, Ryo, and Kouji slid down a long tunnel.
"Weeeeeeee....!" Kouji shouted, making quite a clamor sliding down the tunnel, oblivious to what Rika said earlier.
Finally, they came to the end of the tunnel, and onto a platform in the middle of a swimming pool looking thing, but with sharks in the water.
"Aha....my foe comes to join me..." a dark shadow said from the darkness.
"Nabiki! Just get out here!!!" Rika shouted. The dark shadow came forward, obviously revealing Nabiki. She was dressed in a pair of black pants and a shirt, with a mad-scientist lab coat over it. She was wearing loads of black make-up and her long blonde hair was pulled up into a tight bun. She had black boots on, much like Jesse's used to be, sunglasses, and black leather gloves. To recapitulate, Nabiki looked like very fashionable evil scientist.
"Hmmm..." Nabiki said, taking off her sunglasses and twirling them between her fingers, "Ryo, baby...what are you doing here? If you come back to my side, I won't put you in any danger..." Nabiki smirked.
"Nabiki - " Ryo started, but made the mistake of looking into Nabiki's eyes. Ryo suddenly got a glazed look in his eyes. "I will go to your side, Nabiki..." Ryo recited, as if he were in a trance.
"Good boy..." Nabiki coaxed.
"Ryo, snap out of it!" Rika shouted, to no prevail, and started waving her hand in front of his face, "Ryo, wake up this instant! RYO!"
"Girl, he won't wake up until I tell him to snap out of it...too bad..."
"Nabiki, you are - " Rika started but Nabiki interrupted.
"You can vilify me all you want...but Ryo is on my side now..." Nabiki leaned onto the wall to watch the amusing situation.
"Ryo, come on!" Then Rika suddenly got an idea. "If this is the only way, then so be it..." she muttered. Then she stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him, full on the lips.
"HEY!" Kouji shouted.
Rika stood back on her feet (otherwords, not her tiptoes) and waited. After a moment, Ryo rubbed his head, and blinked, so the glazed look in his eyes went away.
"What happened?" Ryo asked groggily, still rubbing his aching head.
"You fell under Nabiki's spell again..." Rika answered, looking over at the appalled Nabiki.
"Hey, that wasn't supposed to happen! I'm the only one who can revive Ryo!!!" Nabiki eyes flared. Rika smirked. Nabiki moved over to the other side of the wall, where a switch was. "Well, if you don't wanna come to my side, maybe you can stay for - "
"Urgh...that line is so overrated," Kouji said.
"What?" Nabiki asked, innocently.
"Dude, you were so for lunch..." Kouji grinned.
"Okay, okay then...stay for lunch!" Nabiki yelled, throwing the switch.
The platform gave out, and Rika, Ryo, and Kouji fell into the shark- infested waters.
"AAHHHHHHH!" Kouji shouted under water making a series of bubbles to come out of his mouth. Rika grabbed at her utility belt, bringing out the pen. A shark was gaining fast...she pressed the button just in time and the pink goo splattered into the shark's mouth. Rika threw the pen to Ryo, momentarily forgetting about the Kouji (who was in deep trouble by now), and he splattered the pink goo at all the sharks by him.
"HHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!" Kouji blew out bubbles.
Ryo regrettably swam over to the sharks surrounding Kouji and got pressed the life-saving button. Then they all swam to the top and took a breath of air.
"Come on, let's go..." Rika said, climbing out of the "pool", and slinking away into the shadows.
Ryo and Kouji followed. If they would have stayed just a moment after, they would have saw something very unusual. Three dancing lobsters came out of a room on the side, while a girl with black hair and glasses ran out behind them, shouting, "AMANDA? AMANDA PLEASE!" The dancing lobsters kept on dancing, while the girl ran around and around. Suddenly, a squirrel hopped forward.
"You sir!" The girl shouted, pointing at the confused squirrel, "My name is Penelope Taynt, I am Amanda's number one fan please. Have you seen Amanda?"
"Chit chit," the squirrel said, cocking his head to one side.
"Here please," Penelope said, unfolding the labtop she had around her, "Amandaplease.com. Amanda's number one fansite please. Here you will find everything you need to know about Amanda, and I also have a picture of Amanda sucking a lemon. Do you recognize this girl please?"
"Chit..." the squirrel shook its head.
"URGH please!" Penelope shouted, running away, as the dancing lobsters went back into the other room.
~*BACK TO RIKA, RYO, AND KOUJI*~
We see the gang behind a big object of some kind, watching Nabiki pace around like an evil scientist.
"Hmm...if only I can make all the guys in the world to fall in love with me..." Nabiki muttered, then suddenly stopped, "THAT'S IT!"
"Oh god..." Rika said, rolling her eyes, "She's so vain..."
Nabiki ran over to a machine-looking thing, and started typing in numbers. "Jesse, come here!"
Rika eyes widened as she heard the name Jesse...she wasn't alive...was she? A girl dressed in green clothes came forward.
"Yes?"
It was Jesse.
"I need your help...I need to make all the guys in the whole wide world fall in love with me...review the calculations!" Nabiki ordered.
"Why do yer get to have all the men?" Jesse asked.
"Well, just look at me..." Nabiki said, brandishing a mirror from her back pocket.
Jesse coughed, which sounded a lot like, 'expedient'. Then she went over a computer and started to type in numbers. Nabiki laughed evilly, and then sat down and relaxed.
"Okay, guys..." Rika whispered, turning around to face them, "We need to stop Nabiki's evil plan. Stay together - "
"And be careful!" Rika, Ryo, and Kouji said at the exact same time.
"Jinx! You guys both owe me a soda!" Rika grinned.
"Aw man..." Kouji moaned.
"Come on guys! Let's go!" Rika whispered more urgently. Ryo and Kouji nodded their heads, and they were off.
~*WITH RIKA*~
Rika stood behind the machine Jesse was typing numbers in. The machine that would make all guys fall in love with Nabiki. Rika needed to do something. Many desultory ideas were crammed into Rika's head, but only one would seem to work, and it was easy. Rika eyed the plug and pulled.
The sound of the machine shutting down filled the room. Nabiki immediately stood up.
"Jesse! What did you do now?"
"Way-ell, I didn't do nuttin. Yer probably did it," Jesse retorted, her eyes flaring.
"If it wasn't me and it wasn't you then..." Nabiki thought out loud.
"RIKA!" Nabiki and Jesse shouted at the same time.
Rika shot out of her hiding place and ran across the room.
"Get her!" Nabiki shouted, pointing to Rika.
"I'm on it, Nabiki," Jesse said, as green fire came out of her hands. Rika took one look at Jesse's glowing hands, and was off.
Rika jumped out of the way, trying to get away from Jesse, while Ryo and Kouji tried to follow Rika.
"Hey Rika! RIKA!" Kouji shouted, jumping in the way of Rika, resulting in Rika crashing into him, and then chasing into Ryo, and then all of them crashing into one of Nabiki's machines.
"NOOOO! My machine!" Nabiki shouted, as the machine started to flicker and spark. Then, in a blinding flash, Ryo, Rika, and Kouji were gone.
ZAP!!!
Suddenly they were all at a school, on the steps, while a bus dropped off kids. The sign above the school read P.S. 118.
"P.S. 118?! Isn't that where - " Rika started, but stopped. "What am I wearing?" Rika was wearing a pink dress with a hot pink stripe. Her hair turned blonde and was in two pigtails, with a pink bow on her head.
"Noooo...pink..." Rika moaned.
"Well, look what I'm wearing!" Ryo, or was it Ryo?, complained. He was wearing what looked like a kilt, but was actually a shirt that went underneath his blue one, and his hair was yellow, he had a blue hat, and not to mention a football shaped head.
"We're in....HEY ARNOLD!" Rika and Ryo shouted at the same time. Both started to panic until Rika calmed down to say something.
"The machine in Nabiki's lair must of did it...we're somehow in another show!"
Ryo looked around. "Hey, where's Kouji?"
Out of nowhere, Kouji appeared, with red hair and freckles, singing a badly out of tune song.
"We saved our neighborhood! They could not tear it down! They could not turn our smiles into frowns......!!!!!"
"Uh..."
"SING WITH ME!"
"Kouji..."
"Football head, make him stop!"
"Alright...Helga..." Ryo said and walked up to Kouji. It looked as if he was gonna punch him but we would of never found out anyway because...ZAP!!!
"Okay, where are we now?" Rika asked, as they dropped into another scene.
"TOTALLY KYLE!" a voice came from nowhere, and they noticed a guy with long blonde hair standing on a stage with a guitar.
"Like one time..." the guy started saying, flicking his hair around, "I was at the store with my mom and we bought macaroni and cheese. When we got to the checkout, it, like, wouldn't scan. But...then it did, and my mom paid for it..."
"That was Totally Kyle!" a voice came out of nowhere again.
"Totally!" 'Kyle' said, and started strumming on his guitar.
"Alright..." Rika said, rolling his eyes.
"That was....COOL!" Kouji said, running up to Kyle, "Can I have your autograph?"
"Sure, dude," Kyle said, grabbing a pen from a guy off stage and signing Kouji's shirt.
"Wow...thanks!" Kouji shouted, jumping up and down. ZAP!!!
"Okay, Kelly, sing 'A Moment Like This' for us," Paula Abdul said, smiling up at RIKA!
"Wha - " Rika looked confused.
"Rika, just sing!" Ryo whispered from the sidelines.
"Uh...." Rika took a deep breath and started singing.
What if I told you it was all meant to be? Would you believe me? Would you agree? It's almost that feeling, that we've met before So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy, When I tell you love has come here and now...
A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever for that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this
'Did Ashley sing this song for karaoke? Does that mean we've gone back in time as well?' Rika thought as she continued with her very good singing. (A/N: I had to add that because I just remembered...hehe...)
Everything changes but beauty remains Something so tender I can't explain Well, I may be dreaming but till I awake Can we make this dream last forever? And I'll cherish all the love we share...
Finally came the sound Rika was hoping for. ZAP!!!
"Thank goodness I'm out of there!" Rika shouted as the scene around them changed once again. This time it showed many soliders, with stick-looking things. A guy without a shirt on was standing in front of them, looking determined. It was then Rika and Kouji noticed that they also were soliders, Rika being the only girl. And they also noticed that the guy without the shirt on was Ryo.
'Don't look! Don't look!' Rika pleaded her mind, looking at the ground. But she couldn't help it...Ryo was just standing there...without a shirt on...that is until Ryo began to sing...
"Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns!
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?"
Ryo seemed way into his role, but Rika and Kouji just stood there, making up some moves with the sticks like the guys around. Rika and Kouji accidently knocked down some guys.
"You're the saddest bunch I ever met! But you can bet, before we're through! Mister I'll make a man out of you!"
Ryo started teaching them some basic training rules, going with the lovely version of the song from Mulan.
"Tranquil as a forest, but on fire within. Once you find your center, you are sure to win!
You're a spineless pale pathetic lot, And you haven't got a clue. Somehow I'll make a man out of you."
Now, Rika and Kouji were training pleading in their minds the exact same thing, 'Get us out of here...PLEASE!' And Kouji's addition, 'Do the zappy thing!'
A guy next to them started singing, 'I'm never gonna catch my breath." And the guy next to the other guy, 'Say goodbye to those who knew me.'
And Kouji suddenly had the urge to sing, which he gave in. "Boy was I a fool at school for cutting gym."
Rika watched all from a tree, which a dragon/lizard-looking thing came down, and started singing too, "This guy's got 'em scared to death!"
Rika stared until she started singing uncontrollably also, "Hope he doesn't see right through me."
And lastly, the guy who was on a pole in the middle of the lake. "Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!"
Finally, the solos for the solider were over and Ryo and some voices coming from an unknown place took over.
"Be a man!
You must be swift as the coursing river!
Be a man!
With all the strength of a great typhoon! Be a man!
With all the force of a raging fire! Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!"
And the sound came at last! ZAP!!!
Rika fell into this room. 'Where am I now? Hope not in the middle of a *%#$ song.' Rika jumped. 'Did I just swear?' Then Rika looked into the mirror. She looked like Kelly Osbourne. Suddenly, she another urge to sing. 'Urgh...'
"You say I should do it differently I don't necessarily agree. Stand up! Sit down! Be nice!
Did ya hear me ask for your advice? Don't bother trying to tell me your beliefs Your point of view is pretty straight to me Do this! Do that! On track! Do me a favor and don't talk back!
Round and round but the conversation Always ends where it began! Round and round and I need a vacation My god, I've had it from you!
Shut up! Don't wanna hear your voice Shut up! I'm sick of all the noise There's nothing you can say to me So get away from me Shut up!
Rika finally had enough will to pull herself away from singing. She took her chance.
"Ryo! Kouji! Where the %*$# are you guys?!" Rika cursed once again.
"*#$% lady, we're right here!" ZAP!!! (A/N: I couldn't take the swearing...^_^)
"YES! No more swearing!" Rika shouted, "Okay, so where are we now?"
"You're at the Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Pattie!" a squeaky voice came from behind them. They turned around and saw a talking sponge.
"Spongebob! Oh man...I always wanted to meet you!" Kouji shouted, shaking his hand, "Where's Squidward? Mr. Krabbs? Plankton? Sandy? Gary? Patrick?"
"Uh...would you like a Krabby Pattie?" Spongebob asked.
Kouji's eyes got all sparkly as he took the Krabby Pattie with extreme care, then thrust it up into the air...uh...water. "I GET A KRABBY PATTIE!"
"Here you go," Spongebob said, producing a plate with two more patties on it. Ryo and Rika took one, and they all, at the same time, took a bite.
"This...this...this is GOOD! I love Krabby Patties!" Kouji shouted, waving the pattie around happily. But, sadly, Kouji didn't get to finish his Krabby Pattie because....ZAP!!!
"Pattie!" Kouji cried, in the fetal poistion.
"Look at that! Pretty pathetic, right Courtney?" a girl with black braids asked a girl with blonde hair.
"Yes, but I can't help feeling sorry for him, Miranda," Courtney said, making a sympathetic face. Miranda shook her head and Courtney and her made their way down the hall.
"Omigosh, the band is going to Sasha's school! You have to go Ginger!" a girl with pigtails passed, with two other girls. The red-head, supposed Ginger, smiled.
"I just might go Dodie..."
Rika smirked. "This is the episode where she figures out Sasha double- timing her! I always wanted to do this!" Rika came out from under the stairway and walked up to Ginger and her friends.
"Hi Ginger!" Rika said, as Ginger turned around, "You don't know me, but I know you. Sasha is double-timing you. He's going out with another girl named Clover."
"How could you say that!?" Dodie shrieked.
"It's true. You don't have to believe me, you'll find out sooner or later." Rika walked back to where Kouji and Ryo were waiting. "That was fun."
ZAP!!!
Rika laid down on the grass. "This is NOT my best day..." she grumbled. It wasn't till then when she noticed what she actually turned into.
"I'M A LIONESS!" Looking down, she also noticed something again. "Not just a lioness, I'm Nala from 'The Lion King'!" 'Great....just great...'
"Hey Rika! Where are you?" Simba's voice called out across the plains.
"I'm standing on the edge of the plains as Nala...duh..." Rika called out. Simba came leaping from the tall grass (A/N: Plains...same difference) a minute later.
"Don't 'duh' me...I wouldn't of known that..." 'Simba' said.
"Let me guess...Ryo, right?"
"Correct...wonder where Kouji is..." Ryo said, looking out to the plains.
"I'm here, I'm here...hakuna matata..." Kouji yelled, jumping out in front of them as a warthog.
Rika smirked. "A warthog..." she muttered, turning away to not laugh.
"Well, you're a lioness!" Kouji said in Pumbaa's voice.
"At least I'm not a...warthog..."
"I'd rather be Timon," Kouji murmured, as Ryo looked out to the plains.
"I heard something," he said. A growling filled the air around them.
"HYENAS!" Kouji shouted, as they all started to run away.
"Well...this is loads of fun!" Rika panted.
"Keep going!" Ryo shouted. The hyenas were gaining. ZAP!!!
"And what scene are we in now? Hercules? Taildaters? Perhaps The Nick Cannon Show?" Rika moaned.
"How about real life?" Ryo said, spread his arms out, motioning Nabiki's lair.
"Oh thank you!" Rika sighed.
Then, out of nowhere, a screen came down and the face of Nabiki appeared on it. An evil laugh filled the room.
"Mwhahaha...hello, archenemies. If you have made it back, I hope not though, you are too late! I'm off to the wedding when I become rich like your father (A/N: Uh...pretend Rika's dad is rich). Wedding starts in two hours, again I say, you're too late! Mwhahaha..."
Rika's fists clenched. "I hate her...come on, we need to get to that wedding!" They all ran out of the lair and through the forest, until they got to the main road. Luckily, the motorcycle shop was right next to the road.
"Uh, sir, we need to borrow a motorcycle," Ryo said, walking up to a motorcycle dude.
"Sure, twenty dollars..." the man said. Ryo quickly paid him, and they were off on a motorcycle.
"Hey, I just remembered something!" Ryo shouted over the wind.
"What?" Rika shouted back.
"Why couldn't you have used one of your gadgets to get us a ride?"
"Motorcycles are more fun!" Rika yelled.
"But they're not comfortable," Kouji grumbled, sitting in the little carriage hooked onto the motorcycle. It took only a short amount of time before they were near the shore, and Rika ran up to the banks.
"There! There's the ship!" Rika said, pointing to a cute little ship barely noticeable, as the sea breeze (A/N: Nooooo...science...he's gonna get us! *people stare* Uh...back to the story) blew in.
"How do we get there?" Kouji asked, as Rika rummaged through her backpack, and finally pulled out the pen and rope.
"Get that pen away from me!" Kouji whimpered.
"What are you planning to do?" Ryo asked, but Rika answered when she jumped in the waters. "RIKA! THIS IS SHARK-ZONE! THAT MEANS SHARKS! RIIIIIKAAAAAAAA!!!"
Once again the shark gained up on Rika, but Rika had the pen ready and blasted them. Then she tied the rope around the shark's...um...mouth? and had it swim over to the bank.
"We're taking the shark...c'mon," Rika said, as Ryo and a still whimpering Kouji got on the shark. Then they rode off into the horizon, but not before Rika tempted a sea gull near her and put a device on it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sea gull, following the instructions the device was giving him, finally made it to the ship. He flew down low, and near the window. Back on the shark, Rika, Ryo, and Kouji could hear everything the device was picking up.
The sea gull's device picked up a person singing.
"Things are working out according to my ultimate design. Soon I'll have that millionaire and his money will be mine!"
Then there was evil laughter, sounding a lot like Nabiki's.
"That's Nabiki's mom! Hurry, we have to get there quick!" Rika gasped, as the shark went faster.
~*BACK ON THE SHIP*~
Nabiki's mom was walking down the aisle, her head up high. A dog started to growl at her, but she kicked it to make it stop.
The priest cleared his throat once Nabiki's mom took her place next to Rika's dad.
"Eric Andrew Nonaka, do you take this lady, Vanessa Lynn Jones as your lawfully wedded wife for as long as you both shall live?" (A/N: Yes, I got the names from The Little Mermaid, hehe.)
Rika's dad had this glazed look in his eyes as he said, "I do."
"And do you - " Both the priest was cut short when a flock of birds came soaring down and went through Vanessa's dress. The dog started barking furiously. Some squirrels, who know how they got there, came down and started scampering all over the place. Birds flew above Vanessa and dropped water on her as she began to shriek. Then a crab pinched her nose.
"HELP ME!" Vanessa cried out. Everyone looked shocked, except Nabiki who came forward to help, but got attacked too.
"By the power - " the priest kept going.
Finally, Rika, Ryo, and Kouji got to the ship and climbed up the pole to get onboard.
Vanessa went flying into the cake. The dog, who was straining to get loose, succeeded, and jumped on her. The necklace Vanessa was wearing flew off her neck and fell into Rika's hands. A sort of mist came out of the shell as Rika began to sing.
"Ahhhh..." Rika sang.
"Hey, I didn't know you could sing," Ryo said.
Rika made a face and threw the shell overboard. "This isn't mine."
Ariel came swimming up to the ship. "Hey thanks!" Ariel shouted after the mist surrounded her.
The glazed look in Rika's dad, Eric's, eyes went away, and looked around. Then he saw Rika and walked up to her.
"Rika?! What did you do? What did you screw up this time?" Eric shouted.
"What are you talking about? Why are you blaming ME? Blame her!" Rika shouted, pointing at Vanessa.
"Who's she?" Rika's dad asked, looking confused.
"Your fiancé," Rika explained. Nabiki's mom got a evil look on her face as she marched up to Rika and took her by the hand.
"If you can't have me," Vanessa snarled, "You can't have your daughter either!" Then she jumped over the edge of the ship, taking Rika with her.
"RIKA!!!" Ryo shouted, looking at the dark waters below.
Nabiki held Ryo back from jumping in after Rika.
"Sorry, darling, you stay here with me..." Nabiki said, as Ryo spun around.
"I don't like you Nabiki! So, LET GO!" Ryo snapped.
"You don't like me, huh? You like that little runt down there, don't ya? Well, too bad, you're MINE!"
Suddenly, something tackled Nabiki to the ground. "Yew don get all the men! Yew gonna stay here-ah!" Jesse shouted.
"Let go Jesse! I need to get Ryo before he - " Nabiki started but didn't see Ryo.
(A/N: Add Scooby-Doo music) "RIKA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ryo shouted, swimming through the waters. A second later he heard splashing next to him, as a head emerged from the water.
"I fended her off, I think she's gone," Rika explained, spurting out some water.
"Good, let's get back to the ship," Ryo said, as they swam over to the ship and climbed onboard.
"Where's my mom?" Nabiki demanded, running up to them, "And, Ryo, why'd did you save this %*$#^?" (A/N: Seems like we're back in the Osbournes.)
"Go save your mom," Ryo said, pointing to the waters.
"She's out there?" Nabiki gasped. For a split second, they all thought Nabiki cared about her mom. But they were wrong. "She owes me fifty!" Then Nabiki jumped into the ocean.
"Sayonara!" Rika shouted, as the ship started off.
"HEY! Don't leave me hereeee - " Nabiki's voice trailed off.
The ship sailed back to sea, where everyone was waiting for them. Ryo walked up to Rika and looked out in the ocean.
"Hey, Rika, this reminds me," Ryo said.
"Huh?"
"You know when I saved your life in the forest? Uh...did you kiss me?" Ryo asked.
Rika gulped, and thought of something. "Oh that...of course not! You were hallucinating."
"Really? Oh..." Ryo said, sounding depressed.
"Why did this just remind you of that?"
"Oh, because this is always the part in the movie where they kiss," Ryo said.
Rika actually laughed. "True." A couple seconds later she added something, "This trip seems like a whole movie, with all the weird stuff going on."
"Yeah, it was fun though."
Ryo and Rika were thinking the exact same thing then, 'Should we kiss?' and were about to until...
Kouji came sliding in front of them. "We saved our neighborhood! They could not tear it down! They could not turn our smiles into frowns!"
'Urgh...' Rika thought, shaking her head, 'Oh well...we'll have another chance.' Then Rika smiled. 'And hope it's real soon.'
Now we can walk, now we can run, Now we can stay all day in the sun Just you and me, then I can be Part of your world
Back to the bank of the ocean, at night, we see a head emerge from the water and walk to the bank. The figure's long blonde hair glistened in the moonlight. That could only be one person.
Nabiki!
Nabiki stopped in the middle of the beach and clenched her fists. "I will get revenge on you Rika Nonaka. You just wait!"
