Chapter 5
Eavesdrop
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, not a single puddle of water was found on the street. The clouds were white and puffy, and the sun was shining at its brightest. In the Nonaka residence, Rika was still asleep until the phone rang. Rika didn't mind the ringing because of the fact that she was too sleepy. But the phone didn't stop ringing, so Rika had no choice but to answer it, only to find out it was her mother.
"Rika? Is that you dear?" said Rika's mom.
"Yes mom…what is it?" said Rika in an annoyed mood. She couldn't sleep well last night because she was thinking about Ryo which seemed totally weird to her.
"Rika, I'm really sorry, but I won't be back till next week because your grandma lost the tickets to go back to Shinjuku. We had to reschedule the flight because of this; I'm really sorry Rika, can you still manage to take care of the house all by yourself?" asked Rika's mom.
"It's fine mom, I'm not a little kid anymore" answered Rika.
"I know Rika, just wanted to check. I have a new dress that I want you to try on! Anyway, bye! Take care!" said Rika's mom as she put down the phone.
"Why does she even try, I'll probably just put it in my cabinet till it's too big for me" Rika sighed.
When Rika looked at the clock it was already 1:00 in the afternoon.
"Shoot, I must've over slept. But I know I'm not the type to oversleep this much! We're meeting at the amusement park in 5 minutes…I can't be late!" Rika said as she hurriedly prepared to leave the house.
------
"Where is Rika?! She's usually the first or the second one to arrive!" said Kazu who was bored of waiting for Rika.
"Yeah, it's not like Wildcat to be late" said Ryo who was starting to worry; then finally they spotted Rika running as if a pack of rabid dogs were chasing her.
"Sorry I'm late…" said Rika who was exhausted form running.
"What took you so long?! I'm starving!" said Kazu while his stomach grumbled.
"I wasn't that late you know!" said Rika as he gave an icy glare to Kazu, who immediately shut up.
"But Rika, we we've waiting for you for 30 minutes already" said Henry.
"Look I over slept, so give me a break!" said Rika.
"Sure, but you're usually the first or the second person who always arrives when there are hangouts" said Kenta.
"Forget about that, let's just go in and get this day over with" said Rika as everyone started going in.
As they went in, they decided where they should go first. "Let's get something to eat! I'm starving!" said Kazu.
"Don't you think about anything else except food?" said Rika.
"Uhhmm…well…no…maybe…ahh…" mumbled Kazu.
"I shouldn't have asked" said Rika. "Fine, we'll eat if it'll make you stop whining!" said Rika as she gave Kazu an icy glare.
"Everything is working according to plan" said Jeri. "Now all we have to do is go on a few rides together and afterwards, we pretend to separate"
------
Afterwards, they both rushed to the other tamers to join them in the roller coaster.
"Hey I'll sit with Takato" said Jeri, who sat on the third row with Takato.
"I'll sit this one out" said Henry. "I have to watch over Ai, Mako, ad Suzie since they're too young to go on a roller coaster ride."
And I don't want with sit with Kazu cause I know he'll just puke all over me…" said Rika.
"Hey! I don't puke all the time! Kenta's riding with me, right?" said Kazu.
"Guess I'm stuck with you Wildcat" said Ryo with a smirk.
"Guess that's true" said Rika. "You better not puke, or else I'll kill you! Got that?!"
"Yeah sure…" said Ryo as Kazu and Kenta started taking their seats in the front row.
"Oh no you don't!" interrupted Rika. "You guys are not throwing up on me! You'll stay behind Takato and Jeri, and we'll stay in front of them so that we'll make sure that the only people who you're going to throw up on are the people behind you!"
"Fine, but I'll bet you my rare Azulongmon card that I won't throw up!" dared Kazu to Rika.
"You're on! And I'll bet you all my cards that you're gonna throw up and end up running away from the people behind you!" said Rika with a confident smirk that she'll win.
"You're on!" said Kazu as he and Kenta took their seats on the fourth row, while Ryo and Rika took their seats on the second row.
When the ride started, everything was fine until they were going up the hill. When they reached the top of the hill, Kazu was still fine, but Kenta was not since he was afraid of heights. Then the ride started going down the hill, through the loop the loop, then the zig zag. Kenta was feeling better, and he was actually enjoying the ride; but Kazu's face on the other hand started turing pale green after going through five loop the loops. Then when they finally went round the last loop the loop, the ride slowed down a bit as they we're approaching the end of the ride. That was the time when Kazu started throwing up on all the people behind them.
"Ha! I win looser!" said Rika with a smirk as Kazu continued puking.
When they got of the ride, Kazu started running away as the ABCD (Angry Barf-Covered Dudes) started chasing him, while Kenta tried to catch up with the ABCD.
"That was fun!" said Takato.
"I'm glad I wasn't behind Kazu" said Suzie.
"But I wanted to go on the roller coaster" said Ai.
"And we wanted to go up the big hill!" said Mako.
"Don't worry, you'll all get to ride when you're all old enough" said Jeri. "
Wasn't that fun Pumpkin?" said Ryo giving Rika his trade mark smiles.
"Well, I guess it was fun" said Rika.
------
They all went on the haunted house, the plane twirl, and the magic show booth. Then afterwards, Jeri gave the signal to everybody including Kazu and Kenta.
"Hey! Me and Kenta are gonna go get cotton candy!" said Kazu as he grabbed Kenta and rushed out of sight.
"We wanna go to the merry-go-round" said Suzie, Ai, and Mako.
"Okay, I'll take you there" said Henry.
"See you later guys! Have fun!"
"Bye Henry!" said Takato as Jeri and he planned on their next move.
"Oh look Takato! A souvenir shop! Let's buy something" said Jeri.
"But I want to go to the game booths!" complained Takato.
"We'll go after we visit the souvenir shops" said Jeri who was pulling Takato out of sight.
"So I guess that leaves both of us" said Ryo.
"Yeah I guess so" said Rika. "So what do you want to do?"
"How bout we go to the game booths?" asked Ryo.
"Sure why not…" said Rika. But both of them didn't know that the eight tamers were following them from behind.
"I think it's more of eavesdropping" said Kazu holding on to his video cam that he hid in his backpack.
"Hey Ryo, bet you can't hit a bull's-eye in that dart booth?" said Rika.
"Of course I can wildcat! Just watch!" said Ryo as he approached and paid the man running the booth.
"If you can hit seven bull's-eyes in a row, which is totally impossible" said the man running the booth.
"You can win either a 3 foot teddy bear, 3 boxes of candy, a blue pendant, a pair of sunglasses, a digimon season 1 yoyo with all the lead characters in it, or a Starmon Frisbee"
Ryo took careful aim at the five targets and shot five bull's-eyes. Then, the last two targets came out and started moved left and right. Ryo successfully hit a bull's-eye on both targets.
"Kid, you've got talent! Go ahead and pick your prize" said the amazed man who was running the booth.
"What do you think Pumpkin? Not only am I the Digimon King, but I'm also the King of Darts!" said Ryo with a smirk.
"You're such a show off" said Rika with a slight smile.
"So, what did you get? The sunglasses?"
"Nope" said Ryo as he started approaching Rika, and when he was near enough, he put a blue pendant around Rika's neck.
"I know you don't like teddy bears and sweets. And I definitely know you don't like yoyos, so I picked the necklace" said Ryo. "It's not much, but I like you to keep it to always remember me when I leave for Australia"
"Thanks Ryo, don't worry, I'll never forget you" said Rika who was looking at the ground so that Ryo wouldn't see her blush. Rika didn't mind the fact that she was blushing, but she was glad that she received something from Ryo that will always make her remember him.
"Let's go pumpkin, I'll buy us something to eat" said Ryo. Meanwhile, behind the booth tents…
"Did I just see Rika blush?" said Henry.
"Yeah, this is so unbelievable!" said Takato.
"I can't believe I'm getting this on tape!" said Kazu with excitement.
"This is way more exiting than watching the last episode of Digimon season 1!" said Kenta.
"This is great! At this point, we can stop watching them since they're both getting along just well!" said Jeri.
"Are you kidding Jeri?! There's no way I'm missing out on this!" said Kazu.
"Yeah, we wanna see what happens next!" said Suzie, Ai, and Mako.
"It won't hurt to watch them, just to make sure that everything is okay" said Takato trying to tempt Jeri into eavesdropping some more.
"Well, maybe you're right, I guess it wouldn't hurt just to make sure everything will go according to plan" said Jeri who was totally tempted into eavesdropping some more.
"Hey Wildcat! Feel like going for a spin in the Ferris wheel?" said Ryo.
"But the line's too long" said Rika.
"I can wait, how bout you? Maybe you're the type who doesn't want to wait" said Ryo. "Maybe we should go on another ride"
"Hey if you can wait, then I can wait longer" said Rika.
"Always looking for a challenge, right Wildcat?" said Ryo who was glad that reverse psychology exists. Rika and Ryo waited in line, but little did they know that Kazu and Kenta were behind them wearing windbreakers and sunglasses.
"Man, this is so hot, can't we take it off?" whispered Kenta who was sweating.
"Shut up, if we take off our windbreakers and sunglasses, we'll be discovered, and then the plan and my movie will all be ruined" whispered Kazu hiding his video cam in his windbreaker.
Since the line was so long, the other tamers went somewhere else while they wait for the line to shorten. Henry and the kids went to buy some food, while Takato and Jeri went to the souvenir shop.
"Takato, which do you think is better? The orange bracelet or the pink anklet?" asked Jeri.
"I think the orange anklet looks better…"said Takato who was not paying attention.
"There's no orange anklet Takato, are you even looking?" asked Jeri.
"Oh, I'm sorry, um…I think the orange bracelet looks better" said Takato as he was holding the bags full of souvenirs and toys for the kids. 'How could she buy this much souvenirs in ten minutes?' thought Takato. While looking around the accessory shop, he spotted something unusual.
------
When they went back, they saw that the ride was over and that Rika and Ryo left, the only thing they saw were Kazu and Kenta running towards them.
"Hey guys, is it already over?" asked Henry.
"Why are Kazu and Kenta sweating" asked Mako.
"Can we take these things off now?!" said Kenta who worried about losing more weight.
"Yeah, but anyway, you guys missed everything!" said Kazu as he pressed the play button on his video cam.
BBBEEEPPP… "Finally, it's our turn" said Rika after waiting for so long.
"Come on Wildcat, you first" said Ryo as he went in right after Rika.
Kazu and Kenta went in the next seat behind Rika and Ryo's. The Ferris wheel started moving to the top, Rika was looking at the left side and Ryo was looking at the other side. They were both going to the top, Ryo was so bored that he yawned and covered his mouth. When he put down his hand he accidentally put it on top Rika's hand. When they both noticed this, they were surprised and they pulled their hands away from each other ad looked the opposite way.
"Sorry…" said Ryo blushing and probably thinking to himself 'what the heck did I just do?' "It's okay" said Rika blushing and probably thinking to herself 'why did he do that?'
"This is getting boring" said Kenta.
"Yeah you're right" said Kazu; when he looked down, he saw the man operating the Ferris wheel going to the washroom.
"I have an idea!" said Kazu quietly.
"Kenta, do you still have that sling shot that you won a while ago?" asked Kazu
"Yeah, why?" Kenta asked Kazu as he handed him the sling shot and a small ball.
"Let's make this ride a little more exciting" said Kazu aiming at the stop button while Kenta got the idea of what Kazu is trying to do. When Kazu shot the ball, they both held on to their seats, and then when the ball hit the stop button, the Ferris wheel suddenly stopped. Everyone fell onto the floor of their seat.
Ryo accidentally stumbled on top of Rika as the Ferris wheel operator came in and hit the "go" button to resume the ride. When Rika opened her eyes, she saw Ryo on top of her; and when Ryo opened his eyes, he found out that he was on top of Rika. They froze for a moment then suddenly stood up and went back on their seats.
"Watch it Ryo! You're not that light you know!" said Rika as she pushed away Ryo.
"Yeah, sorry Wildcat" said Ryo as he looked at his right side.
"Score!" said Kazu and Kenta as they made a discreet Hi-Five.
"This is so cool!" said Takato.
"See! I told you that bringing the video cam was a perfect idea!" said Kazu.
"Let's follow them some more!" said Kenta.
"But, I'm starting to think that we're interfering with their privacy" said Henry.
"We're just making sure that they're gonna be alright" said Jeri who was now tempting Henry to join their video filming. Unfortunately, Henry was tempted, and they all went following the two.
"Hey isn't that the tunnel of love?" asked Jeri.
"Yeah, wouldn't it be cool if both of them went in" said Takato.
"Yeah, and you know that you can't force those two to do anything we say" said Henry.
"Hey! I got an idea!" said Kazu with a mischievous grin. He went over to the man named Jim who was running the tunnel of love and whispered to his ear. The puzzled Tamers saw Jim nod and Kazu approached them.
"What was that all about?" asked Takato.
"Well…I told him to…hey…what's that?" asked Kazu as he spotted a green item in one of Takato and Jeri's souvenir bags.
"Oh this?" said Takato. "It's a toy called hand-trap"
"What's a hand-trap?" asked Ai.
"It's a toy that's like a finger-trap and handcuffs combined into one" said Takato as he opened it and demonstrated how to use it. "If you want to lock it in your hand all you have to do is let the opening of the hand-trap go around a wrist and touch the body of the hand-trap, and it sticks. It's really stretchy and unbreakable."
"Do you still have one more?" asked Kenta. "Sure, why?" asked Takato.
"Then I've got an idea!" said Kazu.
-------
"So what do you want to do now?" asked Rika.
"I don't know, how about you" asked Ryo.
Then out of nowhere, Jim jumped in front of them which made the step back a bit.
"Hey there folks care to go on a ride in the tunnel of love?" asked Jim.
"No thanks, I don't really like boat rides, especially tunnel of love boat rides" replied Rika who started walking away.
"But this is no ordinary ride" said Jim.
"What do you mean?" asked Ryo.
"At the end of this tunnel, there is a really rare item that you might be interested in" said Jim.
"What kind of rare item?" asked Rika who was curious about this.
"Well, the only way you'll find out about it is if you ride till you reach the end of the tunnel" said Jim.
"I wanna know about the rare item, wanna go on a ride?" asked Ryo.
"Well, since I don't have anything to do in this dull place, I guess I'll go…" said Rika.
"Great, you won't regret this, by the way, this ride's already been paid for, so hop on" said Jim as he pushed the boat in the tunnel.
"What did he mean by 'paid for'? You didn't bribe him so that you can ride with me in the tunnel of love, did you?!" asked Rika.
"Well no, besides I don't have money anymore" said Ryo as they went deeper into the tunnel.
-------
While Jim was outside, he spotted Kazu and Kenta.
"Hey Jim, can we go in? It's an emergency!" said Kazu holding one yen and a hand-trap.
"Sure, hop on" said Jim as Kazu and Kenta went on and went in the tunnel of love.
"What are those two up too?" asked Jeri.
"Uh Oh… I think I know what they're up to, and we better make sure they're gonna be alright" said Takato as they all hurried to the end of the tunnel.
-------
"It's kinda dark in here, don't you think so Rika?" said Ryo.
"Yeah, and this item better be good, or else that guy is toast!" said Rika.
Behind them, trying to catch up was Kazu and Kenta.
"Kenta, stay here with my wind breaker, and pretend that you're kissing a girl" said Kazu.
"WHAT?" said Kenta who had never ever kissed a girl in his entire life. "Just do it, so that they both won't suspect a thing, besides, it's just pretend" said Kazu as put down his video cam, and then he took off his windbreaker, shirt, and shoes and dove into the water.
"Did you hear something?" asked Rika.
"Yeah I did, it sounded like something fell in the water" said Ryo as both of the looked back. Since it was dark, they could not see Kenta behind their back. And they both thought that they saw two couples kissing.
"Oh Yuck! That's just disgusting!" said Rika after looking at the couple behind them.
"Man, I hate that mushy stuff" agreed Ryo. Both of them place one hand on the seat, and another on the side of the boat. Both of them didn't notice Kazu swimming up to them. Kazu attached one side of the hand-trap in Rika's right hand, and the other side in Ryo's left hand, and then he immediately returned to Kenta's boat before he was spotted.
"You owe me big time Kazu!" said Kenta as Kazu dressed up and grabbed the cam.
"Rika I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel" said Ryo.
"Finally, this stupid ride's over" said Rika stretching her hands upward. She felt a weight on her right arm while Ryo felt something lift his arm.
"Why are you lifting my hand Wildcat?" asked Ryo.
"I'm not lifting your hand! Get your hand off my wrist!" said Rika. "I'm not even holding your wrist!" said Ryo.
"What's going on?" asked Rika.
As they went out of the tunnel, they could see a clearer image of their hands, only to find out that their wrists are tied together. "WHAT IS THIS!!!!!!!" both of them shouted as they exited the tunnel.
