Floramon: OK, I am here to bring you the next chapter of Devil's Advocates because unfortunately, Dark-Angel is sleeping on the couch, feeling very sorry for herself and indulging in the pain of having teeth surgically removed.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own me or my fellow Digimon friends. I do not own the storyline of Digimon, nor do I own the original scripts of the first four seasons. Or do I? *laughs evilly*

A few notes I must point out, all the Tamers, not including Suzie, Ai and Mako, all go to the same school and are in the same class. However, Ryo is still a year older than the rest of them.

Now, on to chapter 3!

This chapter is called Floramon's Chapter, proudly dedicated to me.

~*~*~*

"Takatomon, I'm hungry! When do we eat?" Guilmon's voice rang out from outside the hideout. Takato, Henry, Rika, Ryo, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta and Alicia, who were all crammed into the tiny space, turned their heads to look outside.

Guilmon and Terriermon turned the corner to walk into the hideout but stopped when they realised how many people there were in there. "What's the occasion, Takatomon?" Guilmon saw Alicia and stared at the unfamiliar girl. "Who' s she?"

"Guys, how 'bout we move outside so we can actually breath?" Rika said, slightly uncomfortable being in the position she was in. Since she and Ryo had come in later than the others, they were both positioned very close to each other in the doorway.

"Yeah, good idea." Henry said. He was currently standing in a corner at the far end of the hideout. Alicia was standing next to him and staring at Guilmon and Terriermon. When everyone else had walked one by one out of the confined space, they both walked forward together. However, when they went to step out of the hideout, they just stopped and stared at one another. Henry was being a gentleman as usual and gestured for Alicia to go first. Alicia, however, was as stubborn as the rest of her family and waited until he gave up.

But as the two looked at one another, they found that they could not look away. They were lost in one another eyes and there they remained until...

"Hey, guys! What's going on?" Everyone, including Henry and Alicia, turned their heads to see where the voice had spoken from. Walking towards them with a CD in her hand, was Alice. Even though she and Jeri had lost the dresses over the years, Alice still wore her traditional black. This time she was wearing a black plain tank top with black flared jeans. She now wore her hair in a simple ponytail and only on occasions she wore her hair out.

"Hey Alice! Guess what? You know Rika's sister, Alicia? Well, she's here and she's totally cool! You gotta meet her!" Kazu walked up to Alice, grabbed her wrist and dragged her to where Rika's sister stood.

Alice carefully but roughly (O_o) snatched her hand back and held it out towards the girl in front of her. "Hey, it's great to finally meet you. I'm Alice as you might have figured already."

Alicia looked at Alice's hand and then into her eyes. They stayed there for a while until Alicia spoke. "Hi."

Alice slowly pulled back her unshaken hand and smiled warmly at the girl in front of her, trying to be polite. "So, you're in a band? Devil's Advocates? I just bought your first album cause I was kinda curious. I haven't listened to it yet, but I hear you're punk rock. Nice."

Alicia seemed to look emotionless and just stood there, completely still. "Yeah."

While this was going on, Rika looked back and forth at Alicia and Alice, confused, while everyone else just stared at them.

"Oh, so you're Rika's sister. I wondered why you two looked so similar. So, do you fancy Ryo like Rika does? Or are you looking for a kinda bad boy? Cause I know someone you could meet..." Terriermon rolled off Guilmon's head and landed right next to Alicia.

Rika blushed and looked away from everyone else to instead stare at the lake.

"Terriermon! What have I told you about tact? Uh, forget it!" Henry slid past Alicia and grabbed Terriermon.

Alicia turned her head away from Alice and raised her eyebrow at her sister. Unfortunately, Rika still had her head facing the lake, so nobody could see her face.

Ryo coughed slightly. "Well, I should get going since my dad's gonna leave soon. I'll see you guys later." He started walking away from the group and pulled out his D-Power. The device told him that Monodramon was currently at his house, probably sleeping or eating, as usual.

"Dude, are you still staying at my house?" Kazu called out to Ryo, a hopeful look on his face.

Ryo turned around and thought for a moment. "Actually, I might just stay where I am for the moment. Someone has to look after the house. Besides Monodramon."

Kazu's face fell before it lit up again. "Oh well. I'll see you at school tomorrow!"

Ryo gave one last wave before turning and walking towards his house again.

Takato looked up to the sky and sighed. "I guess I should get going, too. I still have homework to do. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Guilmon, c'mon!"

"Ok, bye Takato!" The others said in unison. All except for Rika, who was still staring at the lake, or more like into it.

"Guilmon, come on!" Takato called out again for his Digimon to move. Guilmon still continued to stare at Alicia, awed at how much she and Rika were alike. The resemblance was uncanny and Guilmon was intrigued by it.

"Uh, Guilmon, just come on!" Takato walked up to his partner and grabbed his ear, pulling him backwards. Guilmon fell back and landed on his Tamer, the two in a ball on the ground.

Kenta, Kazu, Henry, Alice and Alicia stared at them, amused. Jeri just giggled at the two and pulled Guilmon up off Takato. Takato stood up gingerly and scratched the back of his head.

"I think I'll have to walk you home if you're going to be so careless, Takato." Jeri linked arms with Takato and the two began walking, Guilmon trailing behind like a cute little puppy dog.

~*~*

Everyone had left the park and were now walking to their own respective destinations. Henry and Alice had left to go to Hypnos, where they were both wanted by Yamaki to work. They both monitored the activities in the Digital World in case something came up.

Kazu and Kenta walked their separate ways and Rika and Alicia were walking back to their house.

"So Rika, you like Ryo? Hmm, interesting. By the way, you said you didn't know any hot guys. I can't believe you, lying to me like that." Alicia sighed as she walked behind her half angry half in a daze sister.

"What do mean. I don't and I don't, so drop it." Rika denied the two statements made by Alicia and kept walking. A thought crossed her mind suddenly. "Anyway, what was up with you and Alice? She was just trying to be friendly and you treated her like she was your enemy or something."

Alicia shrugged. "I just don't like her that's all. She stole my name, anyway." She was hiding the truth and both of them knew it.

"She bought your CD, and she was born before you, so you stole her name." Rika replied bluntly. She was still thinking about Ryo and why he left so abruptly after Terriermon said that she liked him. 'But I don't like him, so why am I thinking about him?'

Alicia stopped suddenly and glanced at her watch that was backwards around her wrist. "I have to go. I have band rehearsal! I'll be back at around six!" She ran off down the street opposite to where Rika was walking, leaving her sister to stare after her.

'Again another person who seems to be disappearing on me. Weird.'

~*~*~

Henry and Alice were both working on separate computers next to each other in silence. Henry still seemed to be distracted and Alice was debating on whether she should tell Henry what she was thinking or not. If she told him, he would be even more silent, for it was sure to make an impact on him. But if she didn't tell him, she might never have the chance again, as he and Alicia seemed to be getting along just a little too well for her liking.

Another thought suddenly entered Alice's mind. "Hey, Henry? You wanna listen to Alicia's band's album? I forgot all about that."

Henry just looked at the girl and stared at her. He had never even realised before how beautiful her blue eyes were...He blinked twice and nodded twice. He was at a loss for words as he kept on staring at Alice.

"Um, ok. We should use your computer since your's has the most advanced technology." Alice looked away from Henry and busied herself with the CD. She could still feel Henry's eyes looking at her and felt slightly uncomfortable but ignored them none the less.

When the CD loaded up in the computer drive, a song started to play. It was a cover song called "Dumb Girl" by Lucy Woodward.

~* He broke my heart today

I don't know what to say

I can't feel a thing at all

I did not see it comin'

Now you just a man that got away

I look at the ground

And give the sky the middle finger

Something inside said

"Here's a day you should remember

So mark it on a wall"

I never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to dumb girls

Taking themselves too seriously

I was so damn smart

I was the one girl

Who never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to somebody else

I miss you so much

Can't stand it

You bring out the blonde in me

'Cause I'm still hanging on

Even though you done me wrong

And I got the heart to forgive this

But I'd never let you know

What kind of girl would put herself

In that position? (yeah)

To think that I could ever fight the system

And I got fooled again

I never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to dumb girls

Taking themselves too seriously

I was so damn smart

I was the one girl

Who never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to somebody else

I thought I was strong (I thought I was strong)

But I was just dreamin'

I can't believe it (can't believe it)

That nothing was wrong (nothing was wrong)

I thought I knew what was goin' on

But love was deceiving me (love was deceiving me)

Now I'm just a dumb girl (yeah)

A dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl

That's what I am (yeah, yeah)*~
