Chapter two: The party (part one)

Rika, Takato and Alice were all on there wya to Masamoto, on the subway train on there way to Jeri's Christmas party. Rika was glad to go to Jeri's then be at home were her mother would bother her about wereing some matching Christmas dress or somthing like that just the thought of it sent chills down Rika's back. Rika was alsoglad to see everyone again she was disaponted and a bit sad when Henry moved to Kyoto and every when Kazu moved to Okahama and Kenta when he moved to America. Rika sighed the ride was taking forever well it was about half a days subway ride Rika looked at her watch it ws still going to be atvlest 5 more hours till they got there. She sighed again the whole trian ride had been in silents. she looked at Takato and Alice she desided to start a conversation with Alice she never really got to know her that well, Alice seemed like a very well rounded person. Well enough that she'd go out with Henry, the two had started dating a few months back right before Henry moved, Alice was upset at him and he was sorry and Rika was also upset at him and again he was sorry he had to go to Kyoto with his dad for bussinuss.

"So you guys exsited about seeing everyone again?" Takato said from on the other side of the train, Rika sighed he had started the conversation before her, oh well she didn't care she wasn't good at starting conversations anyways.

"yeah, can't wait to see everyone." Rika said giving a half hearted smile. she had been waiting for this day seen she had goten off the phone with Ryo aout 3 days ago. but Rika couldn't help but have this eerie feeling like somthing bad was ganna happen.

"Everyone else, yes. but Henry, no" Alice said and Rika and Takato looked at her with a confused and puzled look.

"but I thought the two of you were going out before Henry moved your not still mad at him of Moving are you?" Rika said to Alice she crossed her arms and turned her head the other way.

"Yes thats right I am I mean we are, but thats not why I'm mad at him." Alice said flatly and plain still refusing to look at them.

"then why?" Takato asked looked ceriously, wondering why Alice would be upset at Henry if not at the fact of him moving.

"He, I havin' hear from him in over a month, no calls no letters no e-mails no nothing." Alice said and little sadly but more angerly then sad, she looked at him her eyes flared dangeruosly.

"umm I sure theres a resonable, explanation for him not calling, or anything." Takato said trying to fine a nice exlanation for why Henry hasn't kept in touch with her.

"Huf, well whatever the reason, he's sure ganna get an ear full when I see him." Alice said cracking her kuckles in her other hand.

"Uh ehehe I sure he will... and more." Takato said fearful for his friends well being. Poor Henry its not his falut he couln't keep in touch. right?

"Don't worry, I sure henry has a good explanation. he always dose" Rika said rensuing them, after all Henry didn't seem like the type not to call without a good explanation for it.

"Yeah Rika's right...I hope for Henry's sake." Takato said mummbling the last part to himself. He let out a sigh.

"Yeah, maybe anyways what do you think Jeri has planed for all of us when we get there?" Alice said changing the subject, abuiosly not wanting ot talk about Henry and why he hasn't called or e-mailed her. Him not e-mail her was exsecially weird consitering he spent most of his time on the computer and always checked his e-mail at lest twice a day. she was starting to worry a little now, maybe somthing bak hapened to him. no if somthing did her and the others would have been told...Right?

"Dunno, knowing Jeri somthing big and well...Fun" Rika said and when she ment fun she ment in her words somthing she didn't want to do.

"I know but I'm not ganna say." Takato said with a smile, him and Jeri had also started dating a little bit after the D-reper and a few months before Henry and Alice did. He knew what Jeri had planed for them she had felled him in on every think before hand and he was a little excited, but on the other hand he kinda didn't want to do what they were ganna do.

"What you know?" Alice exclaimed and the two girls looked at each other with a knowing looked then looked back at Takato. "Spill it!" she snapped.

"I can't" Takato said planly he had promised Jeri he wouldn't tell any of them what she had planed.

"And why not? come on GoggleHead! tell us!" Rika snapped at him and he gulpped telling them he knew was a bad idea now they were ganna eat him out till he brakes and tells them.

"I can't I promised Jeri I wouln't" Takato said putting his hands up in defents. he had to keep it in till they got to Jeri's and that was in about 4 and a half hours. 'aw man come on Takato you can do this, just make up things, try to chang the subject.' Takato thought to himself, and gulped again. it was worth a shot. "So how have you guys been sence last I saw you two?" Takato asked trying to change the subject, witch didn't work.

"Don't change the subject GoggleHeand! Not tell us. whats Jeri got planed for us when we get there?" Rika snapped again, she wasn't going to let him off the hock not this time.

The arguement continued for the rest of the train ride and the taxie ride to Jeri's house, and saprizenly Takato kept in what Jeri had planed for the party for the whole trip and didn't brack once, but there were a few times he almost broke annd told them he kept reminding hiomself that Jeri would never forgive him for twlling them, well she would but his mind didn't need to know that, he knew Jeri was a very forgiving person, and she herself couldn't really keep thinks in for long, Jeri probably would have just told them if she was in his place. Takato sighed as they reatched Jeri's place.

The three of them walked up the steps of Jeri's and rang the door bell, they could hear vioces inside, belonging to the other Tamers. "could someone get that!" they heard a girlly vioce witched they recanized as Jeri's vioce. "I'll get it!" they heard another vioce belonging to a male Tamer, not sure of how it was tho'. The door opened and there stood a tall, messy browned haired boy with a normal body stance and a little bit more musculor then last remebered. "Hey guys. come one in, partys just stared." A seventeen year old Ryo said, with his trademark smiled.

"Hey Ryo good to see you again." Takato said as Ryo steped aside so they could enter. Takato walked into his girlfirend's house, were t was full of wondering teens and a few little kids running all over the place, the place was alredy a mess. glitter, confettie, and other substances were all over the floor, and in the others hair and on there closed and sutch.

"Same here, come on fine a place to set and grab a drink and P-A-R-T-Y!" Ryo said grabbing a drink and took a sip, you could easily tell he was on a majure suger rush.

"Ah nice to see the great legendary tamer on a suger rush." Rika said sarcasticly. walking in after Takato and Alice, Alice walked strate in and headed towards her, blue haired boyfriend.

"Suger rush, I don't know what your talking about WildCat" He said his hand was shaking a little bit, the suger was starting to get to his nervise.

"Your shaking" Rika said flatly.

"so, your point, come on littlen up have a drink, and relax a bit. have fun, or is that to much for the IceQueen" Ryo said with his trademark grin. Rika opened her mouth about to give him a quickly and wity retort but was interupted by a loud smaking sound, everyone looked towards were the sound had came from, Alice had just smaked Henry.

Henry held his left hand on his left cheek that now had a red smap mark, his drink in the other hand. "Alice, I sorry I didn't call. I was very bussy, workig with my dad and got very little sleep or time to call and or send you an E-mail, I sorry, I know your upset, but can you just put this a side for the party, you an yell and smak me all you want later after the Party, ok" Henry said to Alice. putting his drink down, Alice's face held back tears and anger, Henry opened his arms and Alice leaped into them, and he pulled her into a tite embrass.

"You jurk, I hate you" Alice said hugging him back, small stray tears made its way onto his t-shirt.

Henry smiled, holding her closer. "I missed you too." He said and kissed the top of her head.

"Aww! KODIAK MOMENT!" Jeri exclaimed pulling out a Digital Kodiak Camera form out of no were and snapped a picture of Henry and Alice.

Henry and Alice turned there heads and looked in the derection the flash had came from. Jeri pulled the Camera away from her face with a huge satisfiyed grin on her face. Rika, Takato and Ryo looked over Jeri's shoulder to see the picture Jeri had just snapped.

"Aw you guys are so cute together." Rika said, with a little bit of sarcasem and with a small smile. Henry and Alice pulled away from there embrass and there faces light up in a small shade of pink.

"Ok now that the lovey-dovey dramatic moment is over, can we get on with this party?" Kazu exclaimed and everyone agreed and went off and did there own things. Henry, Takato and Ryo were in a corner talking about random things and cetching up on old times, Takato and Henry swaped storys with Ryo, telling eachother of there adventures in the digitalworld and the realworld.

Kazu was by the sterio playing all kindas of music. and of corse he was also close by the snak table so he could get himself all the food he wanted.

Suzie, Ai, Mako andJeri's little brother were all playing tag and running around Jeri's house passed the others and between them and around ther coutch and just everywhere.

Rika and Jeri were by the snak table talking both with drinks in ther hands. Rika notests that there were also other people she didn't know. so she desided to ask Jeri about them. "Jeri, who are the other people here, I don't remeber them being Tamers." Rika stated flatly taking a sip of her soda looking in the derection of three teenagae girls in a corner talking and giggling and goofling off also with drinksin there hands.

one of them was a girl about Rika's hight with long blonde hair and blue-sih green eyes. then tere was a slitly tsller girl also with blonde hair but hers was abit darking closer to dirty blonde and it was sort and wavey. she had Hazle eyes very pertty, Rika thought he had seen the girl some were. The last had sort dark brown hair almost black, and amazing green eyes. she looked more tomboy-ish like Rika.

Jeri looked over to the girls as well and smiled. "well the bight blonde one is Lina shes an old friend of Ryo's and acording to him shes also a Tamer, shes from America and move here to Japan when she was little, she lives with her Aunt, but is staying at Ryo's for the moment that why he brough her over. I like her shes a bit shy but is very nice she had a bubbly personality. Ryo said not to be fool by her nice looks she thougher thenshe looks. And the tall wavey blonde haired girl is, Jeniffer. she a friends of both mind and Ryo's from the school we go to, turns out Ryo has know her sence they were really little. two used to go out at one point a belieave they said. she nice too, she also a model. she said she works with your mom on some things." Jeri said putting her finger to her lower lip, as if trying to remeber what Ryo and Jeniffer had said to her.

'explans why she looked so familor' Rika tought and turned her antention back to Jeri as she continued on.

"And Jeniffer is also a Tamer too, the other girl with the Black hair and the greenes eyes I've every seen is Monika shes Ryo couisen shes also a Tamer, she cool, nice personality, alot like you and Alice shes tough." Jeri said smiling. "they all have there different personalitys and there the best of ferinds i'd like to get to know them more, they seem nice. and if Ryo says so then i think so too." Jeri said smiling, she liked Ryo but not in the way she like Takato.

Ever sence Ryo had moved to Masamoto him and Jeri had lived close by and went to the same school, they got along great and enjoyed eachothers company, he had actually helped plan out this party, but he wanted it to be know as only her idea, she had asked why, but never got an answer she didn't dig to deep and just did as said. The party and get together was all really Ryo's idea she just planed every think out mostly he helpped of corse.

"geart more of Ryo's little fanclub wannabes" Rika said rolling her eyes just what she needed more of Ryo's fanclub girls waling over how cute and perferct he was. just the thought made her sick. she didn't mind Ryo, him and her had patched thinks up and became good friends, they teased eachother but that was how they show how much they like eachother.

'wait I don't like him only as a friend!...right?' Rika thought looked over towards Ryo, he cought her gaze and flashed her one of his trademark smile. She felt her checks heat up she turned her gaze away and her face turned a little light shade of pink. Rika looked over at the doorway and notesed somthing she looked at al the doorways and notested the same thing, she turned to Jeri a bit of a puzzled and ceriouse look on her face. "Umm Jeri?" Rika questoned.

"yeah Rika what is it?" Jeri asked turning back to face Rika she had wonder off looking at Takato. Jeri's face turned to a light red color embarussed she was paying more antention to Takato then Rika.

"What the hells with all the fucking Missletoe in every doorway?" Rika nearly yelled for Kazu had blasted the volume on the sterio. Rika liked the song but still gave Kazu a clod glare, he didn't see her, so she sighed and turned back to Jeri for answer, seeing Jeri's face had became darker shade of red then before. "Jeri?" Rika question wonder what was up. was she getting sick?

"umm well, i was uhh kinda hoping, i could umm get to kiss Takato under the missletoe..." Jeri said embarssedly glansing at Takato, him Henry and Ryo were still talking and laughing having a good time.

Rika was about to said somthing and make a sarcastic retort when Alice came up to them. she had a grin on her fae, Rika was a bit afrad of the little plans Alice was cooking up, she could tell she was up to somthing.

"you know there are better ways of getting a chanse to kiss Takato. Jeri" Alice sdaid her grin grow wider and Rika could have swarn she felt a cold draft of wind when she did.

"Real like how?" Jeri asked ceriously.

Alice grin wider. "you'll see, gather everyone up I have an idea, we're ganna play a little game."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"this is unexceptable how can you let the experiments excape to the real world?"

"my appologies my lord, forgive me"

"silents I want you and the others to go to the RealWorld and bring back thoses Experaments dead or alive. got that NOW GO!"

"Yes my lord"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone was setting in a circle fearful of what Alice had planed for them, a few had ideas but didn't want to think of the bad side, but knew it was ture.

Alice grin as she came back in from the kitchen and placed a bottle in the middle of the circle. "Spin the Bottle. is what were playing-"

"NO!"

"Aw Man!"

"No Way!"

"What?"

"Hell No!"

"This sucks!"

"I'm Not playing!"

Eeveryone was shock some knew it and saw it coming. (even I did and you probably did too right.) Alice clear her tought, and coughed a few times to get everyone atention back on her. Everyone looked back to Alice after a bit of conplaning.

"Ok now, before anyone says anything. Everyone is playing wether they like it or not."

"BUT!"

"Nope no but, no doupt about it everyones playing, now who wants to go first?" Alice said with a saticfiyed smile. Everyone groaned this was going to be a long three days.
