A/N: Hi! I'm updating once again. That's because I'm alternating the updates with the other story Tokyo Romance as well. Anyway, here's Chapter 4. It follows after Henry thinking of how he could help Takato out. Read and review!

Chapter 4: Henry's Plan

The next day, Henry spotted Rika alone in the classroom. This gave him the chance to tell his plan of helping Takato.

"Hey, Rika!" he called.

"What is it, Henry?" Rika asked, surprised that her name got called.

"I have an idea..." said Henry.

"What's your idea?" Rika said.

"Since it's evident during lunch yesterday that they like each other but are afraid to admit it... WHY DON'T WE SET THEM UP?" Henry suggested.

"And who are we going to set up?" Rika bantered.

"TAKATO AND JERI, OF COURSE!" Henry exclaimed.

"And why do you suggest it, Wong?" Rika asked with raising an eyebrow.

"So that they would find out that they like each other." Henry explained.

Rika thought for a moment. Henry was right. This is the only way for them to speak up and admit their feelings to each other.

"Hmm… Good point, Henry!" Rika simply said. "What kind of set-up are we going to do?"

"We could set them up in a date! Like you said, Jeri's a hopeless romantic." Henry added. "And Takato is certified love sick idiot! So, it would be easier for them to tell their feelings. Through a blind date, right?"

"Hmm... Brilliant plan, Henry Wong!" Rika grinned. "You must have been set up with a girl that you like, so that's why you know a lot of this, huh?"

"Nope! And I was never set up with other girls." Henry protested. "Even though girls run after me and Ryo, I never agreed on going out to dates with them."

"HAHA! Henry Wong, the girl magnet of Shinjuku High!" Rika teased.

Henry just blushed. "But still, I don't like them at all!" he exclaimed.

"And why? What are the qualities you are looking in a girl, anyway?" Rika asked.

"A girl? Nice, simple and of course, beautiful!" Henry said. "Just like you..."

Rika nodded after hearing Henry's answer.

"Okay, back to our main topic. When will Takato and Jeri have their date?" said Henry.

"Friday... We don't have classes... So Thursday, I mean tomorrow?" Rika suggested.

"Sounds right… And we'll tell them as soon as possible…" Henry added.

"Okay!" Rika said and eventually laughed. "But good thing you thought of this, Henry. I have a hunch that Takato really wanted to ask Jeri out for the longest time but he has no courage to do so! Evidently, their infatuation must have been in place when they're in middle school and it just got worse this year!"

"HAHA! It's not a hunch anymore, Rika... It's a confirmation!" Henry grinned.

"Well, anyway, you decide where you want to set them up... I am not in the know with the romantic places here in Shinjuku" Rika said. "Speaking of the lovebirds..."

Takato and Jeri made their way towards their seats. Henry and Rika looked at each other and began to laugh maniacally. Noticing their laughter, Takato began to wonder what happened to Henry and Rika.

"Uh... Henry? What were you guys laughing about?" he asked, scratching his head.

"N-Nothing!" Henry stuttered because of his laughter.

"You two are surely weird!" Takato just said. He is at loss at why Henry and Rika were laughing at him.

Henry and Rika stopped laughing when they saw Ms. Asaji coming inside with the rest of the students.

"Alright, students! Bring out your Math book and we'll have some heavy duty exercises to do!" she said.

Right after Math, the students were ready for their Biology class. The tamers eventually put on their laboratory gowns because the experiment will be about animal specimens and their teacher did not want to let their clothes stained due to failed experiments.

Almost an hour had passed and everybody is now into the post-laboratory mode in class.

"I wonder if this gets worse every year!" Kazu commented.

"What do you mean, Kazu?" Kenta asked.

"Next year, we'll be having chemicals to be best friends!" Kazu groaned. "This year, animals are not my type, Chumley!"

"Don't worry, Kazu." Takato assured. "It's not as bad as you think!"

"Eww!" Kazu said in disgust after seeing a preserved specimen in a small bottle.

Henry, Rika and Jeri were busy answering something in their papers.

"I wish we'll be examining tempura rather than these!" Jeri replied.

"Why? Are you hungry?" Rika asked.

"I guess so. I didn't have breakfast this morning." Jeri said in reply.

Rika just nodded and simply went back to what she is doing.

That afternoon, Rika sat in the table with Henry in front of her. His face wore again a mischievous look.

"What's with the dopey grin, Henry?" Rika asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I found a place where they can get mushy." Henry chuckled.

"Where?" Rika asked, feigning interest in her face.

"You know the café across the street? The one that sells chocolate drinks and stuff?" Henry asked.

"Yes. I've been there because my mother dragged me there one time." Rika said.

"Then that's it. They will have their date on Thursday at seven!" Henry replied. "The problem is, how are we going to put them into the place?"

"Yeah! We don't even know their locker combinations!" Rika replied slowly.

"Then we'll do this the hard way. We'll tell our friends on the spot." Henry said. "Look they are. Always walking next to each other."

"I know." Rika said, glancing at the two brunettes. "Maybe after Takato and Jeri, let's also set up Kazu and Kenta!"

Henry just laughed. "Do you remember what Kazu said to us last time that he likes Nikki Itsuki?" he asked.

"I forgot! At least he admitted that he's straight." Rika said, mentally slapping her head.

"We better keep quiet now. Takato and Jeri are already on their way." Henry said.

Takato and Jeri eventually went to the table Henry and Rika were.

"We saw you two talking. And it sounds serious!" Takato commented.

"Yeah. It sounds serious, alright." Henry answered.

"What was it, anyway?" Jeri then asked Rika.

"Nothing. It's about that good-for-nothing homework in Math." Rika lied. If Jeri found out her scheme with Henry, then their plans are totally ruined.

Jeri just nodded and began to eat.

The group were surprised when they saw Ryo, Alice, Kazu and Kenta joining them.

"Do you mind if we sit here with you, Chumley?" Kazu asked Takato.

"Nope..." Takato replied.

"Oh well... Thanks!" Kenta answered. He sat next to Kazu while Alice sat next to Jeri and Ryo sat beside Alice.

After lunch, the students returned to their classroom. It was time for their English class. Before they knew it, they were discussing English literature. They could not sleep in this class because their teacher, although female, has such a loud voice.

"She reminds me of Babamon." Kazu commented.

"Who?" Kenta whispered.

"Our teacher in this one!" Kazu answered.

"Great analogy, Kazu." Kenta shook his head.

Takato was now faking his attention because he is now glancing at Jeri's side. He remembered the drawing last week and wondered if he should give it to her one of these days.

"Great. When will that happen?" Takato thought as he looked again.

The tamers got out of the classroom later that day. Rika went with Jeri while Henry with Takato to execute the plan.

"HEY JERI!" Rika called her brunette friend.

"Yes?" Jeri replied.

"Uh... Jeri? Are you free tomorrow?" Rika asked.

"Yes, why? Do us tamers have a hang-out session tomorrow?" Jeri said.

"Uh... No. Someone wanted to meet you tomorrow." Rika replied. "Is it okay?"

"Is he from our school?!" Jeri asked again.

"YES!" Rika almost shouted because of her answer that is so true.

"Hmm… Okay!" Jeri said. "Who was that anyway?"

"You will learn it tomorrow, Katou!" said Rika.

"Hmm… What time is it, anyway?" Jeri asked, feigning interest in the mysterious rendezvous.

"Seven in the evening. In the café across the street. I think you know it." Rika explained.

"Yeah! We don't have school on Friday so I think I can go with it." Jeri replied.

"Alright!" Rika said and had a victorious smile because the plan worked as they expected.

"I wonder what happened with Henry? I hope he convinced Takato. But at least, I convinced Jeri on my part!" Rika thought.

"I wonder who will be my blind date tomorrow. If I ask Rika, she won't tell it to me for sure..." Jeri was thinking.

Meanwhile, Takato and Henry were walking in the pavement.

"Takato!" Henry called the goggled-boy.

"What is it, Henry?" Takato asked as well.

"I'm gonna tell you something..." Henry said, remembering what he was supposed to do.

"Yes?" Takato looked at Henry intently.

"Uh... Someone wanted to meet you tomorrow. She's asking if you are available at seven in the evening tomorrow." Henry said casually.

Takato looked at his planner and he found no appointments or anything to do tomorrow.

"Okay. Just tell her. Where is it, anyway?" Takato replied.

"The café across the street. I know you know that place because you practically bring Kazu and Kenta there." Henry explained.

"Wait a minute, Henry! Is this one of the girls who are head-over-heels for you and you're passing her to me?" Takato said suspiciously.

"Nope... If I'm passing a girl that is head-over-heels as you say, then I could have passed it to Ryo." Henry said casually.

"Right..." Takato said. "So, tomorrow at seven?"

"Yes." Henry answered. "Finally! Takato agreed! The date itself!"

"Is that what you're going to say?" Takato asked. "Or are there anything else?"

"Uhm, yeah!" Henry answered. "Just that alone."

"Okay, Henry. Just tell that girl I accept her invitation." Takato said. "Anyway, I have to go. I'll be servicing our bakery today."

"Yeah. See you tomorrow." Henry said. "I wonder what happened to Rika... I hope everything went well."

Rika eventually went home because Jeri told her that she will be leaving in a couple of minutes for a shopping trip with her stepmother. Rika still got that mischievous grin after divulging the plan.

"RIKA!" Mrs. Nonaka was at the gate already and opened it for Rika.

"Mom! What a surprise! You're not in a photo-shoot today?" Rika said with wide eyes.

"Yes... I am not." Mrs. Nonaka answered. "So, how's school?"

"Fine..." Rika said. "I'm going upstairs... to do my homework. There are lots of them."

"Alright..." Mrs. Nonaka said.

The auburn-haired girl made her way towards her room with her Math book in hand and a phone in the other. When she got inside, she jumped to her bed and started writing.

"In polynomials... you divide them either by synthetic..."

She was interrupted when her phone rang. When Rika looked at it, she found that the caller was Henry.

"Hey, Henry!" she sneered.

"Hey Rika!" said Henry from the other line.

Then they shouted to each other: "I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU!"

"Okay. You first, Ri." Henry said to Rika.

"I got Jeri to say yes. How about you?" Rika explained.

"The same as you are. I guess our set-up is going to be accomplished!" Henry said.

"Yeah! More like we also have some explaining to do to them." Rika replied.

"We'll cross the bridge when we get there. It will be like a date, as they want it to be." Henry answered.

"Okay. Well, anyway, I gotta go. Math's devouring me right now." Rika replied.

"You make sure that Jeri would look presentable in front of Takato tomorrow..." Henry reminded.

"Oh sure... She's going to sleep over here tomorrow and with my mom here, it'll be doubly hilarious." Rika replied.

"Okay. I'll get with Takato. See you tomorrow. Bye!" Henry said and he hang up the phone.

Rika returned to working on her Math assignment.

While in the Wong household, Henry was having fits of laughter already.

"Henwy? Awe you okay?" Suzie asked her older brother.

"Yeah. I'm fine, Suzie. I can't believe I made a trick for someone in our class." Henry chuckled.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Just because Wika's in you'we school doesn't mean you have to be cwazy all the time!" Suzie replied.

"No. It's not about Rika, you know? I'll tell you about this tomorrow." Henry assured.

"Okay!" Suzie said and sat in the couch.

In the Matsuki residence, Takato was just finished putting bread in the oven.

"I wonder who am I going with? I hope that girl would be Jeri. Nah. Who am I kidding? I'm just an assuming little goggle-boy." Takato said as his thoughts ran deep into his mind.

"Takato! You guard that bread while we're gone, okay?" Mrs. Matsuki said to her son.

"Yes, Mom!" Takato said as he sat on he chair near the oven.

While shopping with her stepmother, Jeri could not help but wonder about the little date she'll be going tomorrow.

"I hope that boy is Takato. Oh great. Here I go again with my guessing skills. It can't be Takato. He should have told me if it was him. But then again, Rika won't tell me who that was even if I'm staying at her house tomorrow." Jeri thought to herself as she was picking some clothes.

"Jeri? Are you okay?" Mrs. Katou asked her stepdaughter.

"Yes, Mom." Jeri answered then her mind returned to her question.

Rika was eating dinner with her mother and grandmother. Remembering Henry's words that Jeri should look beautiful in front of Takato for tomorrow, she began to word her request.

"Hey, Mom..." Rika called Mrs. Nonaka.

"Yes, Rika. What is it?" Mrs. Nonaka said.

"I... I... need some help in... make-over..." Rika stuttered. The last word will sure bring Mrs. Nonaka into stitches.

"Make-over? Why?" Mrs. Nonaka said with glee.

"N-No! It's not for me... It's actually for Jeri..." Rika replied slowly.

"Well... Why?" Mrs. Nonaka began to be interested.

"You see... Someone wanted to meet Jeri in a blind date and I was wondering if you can transform Jeri's face for tomorrow." Rika said. "I hope if you won't mind..."

Mrs. Nonaka began to put her hand to her daughter's arm. "Of course I won't mind! Jeri's been like a sister to you, Rika. You bring her here tomorrow, after all, she is staying over for the night, right?" she said.

Rika eventually smiled. "Thanks, Mom. If I get married, you'll be my personal make-up artist." she said.

"But you have to get a boyfriend first!" Mrs. Nonaka chuckled. "I wonder if that guy is Ryo... or Henry!"

"Ryo? He's got Alice McCoy now. Henry? I don't know. Girls always ask him out in school. So, I really don't know." Rika said coolly.

"But I can assume that Henry's pretty mad about you, Rika!" Mrs. Nonaka replied and giggled.

"In my dreams..." Rika thought as she ate her dinner.

The next day, it was five in the afternoon when they got out of the campus. Rika and Jeri were finished doing a group project that was due on Monday.

"You accompany me when I go out, Rika. You're the one who knows this guy!" Jeri said.

"Of course, Jeri!" Rika assured. "Since when did I leave you?"

"So, where are we going first? I can't let my date see me in casual clothes!" Jeri replied.

"We're going to my house." Rika added. "Of course I won't let you in your daily clothes, Katou. I'll give you a make-over."

"Make-over?!" Jeri echoed.

"Yeah! Are you forgetting that I have a model for a mother?" Rika pointed out. "I hired her just for you."

"I wonder when will Rika Nonaka be made up for a date with a guy?" Jeri teased.

"That will never happen..." Rika said. "Remember that! Come on, Jeri. Let's go!"

Meanwhile, Henry and Takato are on the way to the Matsuki residence.

"Should I change clothes or should I keep with my get-up when I meet with my blind date?" Takato asked Henry.

"You should change, Takato!" Henry pointed out.

"This is hard! Being in a blind date!" Takato groaned.

"Don't worry, Takato. Once you get to have your blind date, you'll eventually have no fuss about dressing later on!" Henry replied.

"Anyway, what should I wear? Blue or green?" Takato asked again.

"You decide!" Henry replied. "As long as you will look like a human tonight!"

"Why? Am I not a human?" Takato exclaimed.

"In some aspects, you're not human, Takato!" Henry chuckled.

"HEY!" Takato protested.

Back to the Nonaka residence, Mrs. Nonaka and Rika helped Jeri fix herself and get ready for her blind date.

"Voila! Maybe I should consider having a part-time job as make-up artist!" Mrs. Nonaka said. "I'M SO GREAT!"

"Yes, you are, Mom!" Rika said and just laughed.

"What do I look like? Prom or graduation?!" Jeri said. She is excited to see herself already.

"BOTH!" Mrs. Nonaka and Rika chorused.

"Alright, Jeri! You can stand now!" Mrs. Nonaka commanded.

Mrs. Nonaka and Rika left the mirror so Jeri could see herself. Jeri, who was wearing a blue dress, looked like being made up by a professional make-up artist.

"Gosh, Mrs. Nonaka! It's so beautiful!" Jeri said in awe.

"I told you, Rika! I'm so great!" Mrs. Nonaka chuckled. "So, you're the one who'll accompany Jeri to her blind date, Rika."

"Yes, Mom. Leave that to me." Rika replied.

The trio looked at the clock. It read 6:50 in the evening.

"You better get going. It's ten minutes before seven. Seven is your meeting time, right?" Mrs. Nonaka reminded.

"Yeah! Come on, Jeri!" Rika urged.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Nonaka!" Jeri said.

"Anytime!" Mrs. Nonaka said. "Enjoy your date and take care!"

The two girls made a run from the Nonaka residence.

Meanwhile, the two boys went to the café. Takato wore a white buttoned shirt because of Henry's suggestion.

"Are you sure I look okay?" Takato asked Henry as he was checking himself.

"YOU'RE OKAY, TAKATO MATSUKI!" Henry stated clearly.

"Okay! Don't get a high blood!" Takato waved his hands to Henry as he said that. "Sheesh!"

"How am I not going to have a high blood if you kept on repeating things?" Henry asked.

"I'm just making sure! After all, I really don't know who your friend is…" Takato said with hands in form of surrender.

On the other hand, Jeri and Rika were outside the café. Rika is wondering why she could not find Henry.

"Where could that boy be?" Rika thought and it was interrupted when she found Henry sitting near a window. "Okay…"

Since she did not want any suspicious attention coming over, Rika sent Henry a text.

"Hey Henry! You better get out now! I'm with Jeri."

When Henry received the message, he told Takato that he is going home now.

"Uhm, Takato… I'm going home now. And, your date is here." Henry said casually.

"Okay!" Takato replied.

Henry got out of the café but he only saw Rika.

"Where's Jeri?" Henry asked.

"I made her hide for a while. But I'm going to let her out. It's now your turn to hide, Henry." Rika replied. "Where was Takato sitting?"

"Just near the area where you saw me. It's table number 4." Henry said. "I'm going to hide now?"

"Yeah you should…" Rika replied. "But they will know the truth, no matter how much we hide it."

Henry just nodded and hid behind the car. Rika called Jeri to emerge from her hiding.

"Jeri? You can come out now." Rika said.

"Is it okay, Rika?" Jeri asked.

"Yes… I'm not accompanying you when you get inside. By the way, you're date's in table number 4…" Rika added.

"Okay!" Jeri said. "Thank you so much, Rika!"

"Sure! No problem!" Rika said and smiled.

Jeri got inside the café. When she is sure that Jeri is inside, Rika began to call Henry.

"Pssst! Henry! Let's go out before they catch our scheme!" she replied.

From there, Henry went out of his hiding and approached Rika.

"So, where do you want to go?" Henry asked. "We don't have school tomorrow so we can stay up late. Or you want ice cream before we get home?"

The thought of ice cream sent Rika laughing.

"Henry! You're such a baka! I'm now even tempted to eat one!" Rika replied with half-disgust.

"Okay! Long story short! We're going to have ice cream and it's my treat!" Henry said.

"Huh?!" Rika asked, now awestruck.

"Yes, Rika. My treat." Henry repeated. "And don't pretend that you hate ice cream. I know that's you second favorite food next to chocolate!"

"Goodness, Henry! You really know a lot about me!" Rika grinned.

"Of course! The only thing I don't know is that, what color is the underwear you're wearing now!" Henry teased.

"HENRY!" Rika scolded him playfully.

"I don't even know if you do have an underwear today!" Henry added with a mischievous smile in his face.

"BAKAAAAA!" Rika said and almost punched his arm lightly. "But, seriously, we need to leave... Otherwise, they might suspect a thing!"

"You're right, Rika!" Henry agreed and left the café with Rika.

Inside the café, Takato went to the comfort room to fix himself for a moment while Jeri went to the table number 4 that Rika was talking about, except she could see nothing.

"Hmm... I wonder where's my blind date? Rika told me that he's here." Jeri thought to herself.

She just sat in the seat while waiting for the person that she will meet.

On the other hand, Takato is left wondering who will be his "secret date" because at the look of Henry, his friend will not speak even though how hard he tries pressing him.

"Man, I know that Henry won't reveal who that girl is... Oh well... Might as well find out later..."

He saw a girl sitting by his table. He was agape when he figured out who the the brunette was. It was Jeri!

"Huh?! Jeri's my blind date?!" Takato asked and he wondered already. "Is this the real life or is this just fantasy?"

Because of this, he immediately increased his pace to the table.

"JERI?!" Takato asked.

Jeri turned to the source of the voice. She was startled because she knew who was the person who called her.

"Takato's my date tonight?!" Jeri thought.

"TAKATO?!" Jeri asked with a startled look in his face.

"JERI?!" Takato asked as well as being surprised himself.

"YOU'RE MY BLIND DATE?!" they said in unison.

When they recovered, Takato sat in front of Jeri.

"Wow! Coincidence! Because, Henry said that I have a girl to meet!" Takato answered.

"Yeah! Just like Rika, saying that I have a boy to meet! And that boy was you! I'm so surprised!" Jeri exclaimed with traces of surprise in her face.

"So did I!" Takato said and chuckled. "Looks like our friends set us up!"

"I think so!" Jeri laughed because of the coincidence. "But if this is a set up, why would they do so in the first place?"

"I still don't know about set-up… I only think it's coincidence... Henry's conscience is very clean to do tricks like these!" Takato replied and Jeri nodded. "But it's still funny to think that this is a set-up."

"I agree!" Jeri replied.

"She really looks nice today… And if Henry and Rika were behind all this, I would say thanks to them…" Takato thought.

"Takato looks neat, no doubt. Henry, Rika, I'm really happy if you two really did this. " Jeri thought as well.

"So, what do you wanna talk about?" Takato asked.

Henry and Rika were in the ice cream shop eating, of course, ice cream.

"Do you think they figured out what we did?" Rika asked.

"I have a guess, they did. We're the only ones who know about this." Henry answered.

"HAHAHA! Seriously, they're meant for each other!" Rika remarked. "Did you tell anyone else about this?"

"Not yet… But after they spill the beans out of us, they'd probably blab it to Kazu, Kenta and the others." Henry said.

Rika just laughed from what Henry said.

Meanwhile, back at the café, Takato and Jeri were obviously having fun even though they were just there for an hour. They ate and all but the time looks slow for them.

"After being paired with the history assignment, I realized that you're indeed fun to be with." Takato said and smiled infinitely.

"You too, Takato! It's so much fun to hang out with you!" Jeri said as well.

"Wow! Thanks, Jeri!" Takato said. "We shall do this next time!"

"Seriously?! Did I hear it right?!" Jeri asked, not believing what she just heard.

"Yeah! You got that right!" Takato replied.

They looked at the time and it read 8:25.

"Oh my gosh! I didn't notice the time! It's 8:25!" Jeri said.

"Yeah, I know!" Takato agreed.

"I need to go home. Rika might be sleeping and will not answer the door…" Jeri replied.

"You're in a sleepover with Rika?!" Takato's eyes became wide.

"Yeah! My parents and Masahiko went to Nara…" Jeri explained.

"Even if it's not yet 9:00, I'll be walking you home. The streets are too delicate for a pretty girl like you." Takato offered and as expected, he blushed in front of Jeri.

It was Jeri's time to blush right after him. "Takato!" she said while stopping her blush.

Henry and Rika were about to go home from the ice cream shop. When they reached the Nonaka household, Rika turned to face Henry.

"Henry, thanks for treating me. That was very unexpected of you, you know?" Rika said.

"Don't mention it, Ri! After all, you're my best friend!" Henry said and smiled at Rika.

"HAHA!" Rika replied. "Anyway, I gotta go. See you around!"

Henry waited for Rika to get inside her house and he left. But when she was inside her gate, Rika took a glance and she saw Henry walking away.

"Oh man! Don't tell me that my secret admiration for Henry is returning?! Urrgh, Rika! Why are you like that?! Don't think of such things!" she berated herself.

When she woke up to face reality, she opened the door and found her guardians watching soap operas once again.

"Hi, dear!" Grandma Seiko greeted.

"Rika! Why did you go home just now? You were supposed to accompany Jeri and go home right?" said Mrs. Nonaka, who was surprised why Rika just got home even though she was just Jeri's chaperon on the way.

"Yeah… I accompanied Jeri…" Rika replied and began to stutter.

"But what took you so long?" Mrs. Nonaka asked again.

"I met Henry on the road and we just had ice cream..." Rika replied, not knowing if telling the truth would result to something else.

"I knew it! There must be something between you and Henry!" Mrs. Nonaka squealed.

"There's nothing!" Rika protested. "Here we go again..."

"Girls, let's not argue. You better go upstairs Rika so you could change." Grandma Seiko intervened just to keep the peace.

Meanwhile, Jeri had reached Rika's house and thanked Takato for the time and walking her home.

"Thank you so much, Takato! See you next time and good night!" Jeri said sweetly to Takato.

"You're welcome, Jeri! Good night too!" Takato said and returned the smile.

Jeri eventually went inside. When she did so, Takato left already.

"YAHOOOOOOOO!" Takato said as he jumped in joy. "Oh wow! I think I won the lottery because of this!" he thought. "I can't wait to tell this to Henry!"

This is Jeri's perspective when she entered Rika's house.

"Oh my! Meeting but it's a blind date! Oh goody!" Jeri thought excitedly. "I can't wait to tell this to Rika!"

When she went inside, she saw Rika and her family in the living room.

"So, Jeri, how was your date?" Mrs. Nonaka asked.

"Yeah, Jeri! How's your date with Takato? Was it fun?" Rika sneered.

"It's fine and we had fun actually." Jeri explained but she was surprised by Rika's last two sentences. "Wait a minute, Rika! Do you really know that Takato is my blind date today?"

"Uhm..." Rika said embarrassed that her and Henry's scheme was discovered. "I'll tell you about it later, Jeri."

Takato eventually got to Henry's apartment. He was happy that his blind date was Jeri. Because of it, he forgot that that Henry's door was closed.

"Ouch!" he groaned in pain.

His screaming in pain sent Henry outside his room.

"Takato?" Henry asked. "Takato? Is that you?"

Henry found Takato at his door, who was scratching his head.

"Takato! You know that I'm locking this door when I'm alone, remember?" Henry chided him and he let Takato in.

"Yeah! Sorry!" Takato replied. "I just forgot..."

"You forgot that I lock my door just because you went in a date with Jeri?" Henry said and when he realized what he just said, he covered his mouth in alarm.

"Henry, how did you learn that Jeri's my date today?" Takato, who was surprised, asked Henry.

"Er…" Henry said in reply because he did not know what to say exactly.

How will Henry and Rika tell the truth behind Takato and Jeri's blind date? Find out in the next chapter. Please, read and review! Thank you! :D
