AN: Ok, Ok. I know that I said in my story that Ryo would find out what Rika's job is a week later, but I kind of changed my mind. He's finding out today. Don't forget to review after you read! D

Especially not Alice.

Alice had expected that Julia would have tackled her, lunged at her, punched her, ANYTHING but what she had done. Julia had bear-hugged Alice.

'What the heck is going on?' thought Alice.

"Yo! Julia! Watcha doing?!" Kazu voiced everyone's thoughts.

"Well, what? Did you WANT me to hit her?"

"Yeah! We wanna see a fight!" Kenta yelled.

"Uhhh…" Julia turned to look at Henry. "What should I do?"

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Do whatever you like. Personally, I'd enjoy seeing a fight as well."

"Ok…" Julia trailed off, deciding in her mind what to do.

Everyone knew that she had made up her mind when… she SUDDENLY VICIOUSLY TACKLED ALICE TO THE GROUND!

"Alright!" Kazu cheered. "Come on everyone! Place your bets!"

All the tamers (minus Takato and Suzie, who were with the digimon) placed their bets.

Ryo bet for Alice.

Kazu bet for Julia. "She's crazier than Rika! Who's crazier than a soup sandwich! She's 2 soup sandwiches!"

"What did you say?! Do you want to start another fight, just me and you?" Rika glared menacingly at Kazu, who backed down in fear.

"No-no, ma'am." He managed to squeak out.

Kenta bet for Alice.

Rika bet for Julia.

"I used to be in a gang with her." Rika smirked.

Jeri bet for Julia.

"It's just because she's nicer! Alice is a meany beanie for saying those horrible stuff about Julia!"

Everyone just sweat dropped. Then they all turned their attention to Henry, who hadn't placed a bet yet.

"Well?" they asked, looking at him expectantly.

"Hmm…well obviously Julia. She's a much better fighter. And she can scratch really viciously." He smirked. "I should know."

"Oh! Henry! Too much detail!" Rika contorted her face in disgust.

"Subtle as a train wreck sweet heart." Julia said, looking up from her battle. "Subtle as a train wreck." She smirked back at Henry.

Seeing this opportunity, Alice decided to grasp it and Julia's hair.

"Oh no she didn't!" Julia screamed and was about to land a punch right on Alice's left eye.

But before the real fight could begin, or as most of the tamers who were there that day would say, chaos could ensue, they all saw something that made them stop everything they were doing.

It was a bus at the bus station in front of the park. Why were they staring at some stupid old bus? Because it wasn't just any ordinary bus. On the side of said bus, there was a billboard photo of Rika with a straw sun hat on, hair down, winking while grinning widely. In her hand, she was holding a green heart shaped bottle full of clear liquid. The caption on the right hand side said "Innocence. The new fragrance by Shimoki."

This wasn't all though. A few seconds later, another bus stopped at the station, and it also carried a billboard of Rika. Except in this one, she was completely different. Her hair was still down, but she had on shimmery pink lip-gloss, eye shadow, and very little blush. She had on a black bra, and her face was in such a way, that boys would call it seductive to the point of almost hooker-ish. Beside her photo was writing again. "Victoria's Secret."

"So…" Ryo started.

"Rika, you look hot!" Kazu interrupted. "Wanna go on a date?" he smirked then casually draped his arm around her shoulders.

Rika's voice went to an all time low. "Kazu," she began in a scarily calm voice, "remove your arm from my shoulders, before I remove it from its socket."

At this, his eyes widened, and he immediately removed his arm, making sure it was still all intact.

This brought over another moment of silence for the tamers, which Ryo decided to break. "So, hey Rika! That's your new job, right?"

Rika blushed and looked down, obviously embarrassed. "Yea…" the look of embarrassment on her face soon turned into a vicious scowl. "Wanna make something of it, Akiyama?!"

"No,no." he decided quickly in an attempt to save his life.

"Alright! Let's get back to the fighting!" Kenta yelled.

"YEAH!" everyone agreed.

So Julia, again, instead of hitting Alice, picked her up off the ground and bear-hugged her again.

"Julia, what the hell do you keep doing that for?" Kazu asked.

Julia just ignored him and after a few moments, Alice was slumping down to the ground, obviously passed out.

"…" was the Tamers initial reaction, followed by the whooping of those who had bet on Julia.

--Fast Forward to time when everyone needs to go home—

"So Alice, no hard feelings?" Julia smiled at her, holding out her hand.

"None what so ever. I thought you were just some girly girl who thought highly of herself but now I know why you're friends with Rika. Damn…that bear hugging move you did was amazing. You gotta teach me someday!" Alice said while shaking her hand.

"Haha! No problem!" Julia laughed.

"Also…" Alice added, this time speaking to all of the tamers. "A little birdie told me that it's someone's birthday next week!"

"Whose?" Jeri asked. "Ooh! A birthday! We need to have a party!"

"It's Henry's birthday next Saturday." Julia smirked. She knew that he never had a party because he didn't want anyone to go to the trouble of it. Well now that she was with the Tamers, she'd make sure they'd go to the trouble of it.

"Really? Well then chumley! We need to have ourselves a partay!" Kazu said excitedly.

Rika sighed and muttered something under her breath that sounded suspiciously like, "Stupid Kazu…he'll create any occasion to have a party just to have free food and get drunk."

"Then it's settled!" yelled Takato pumping his fist in the air. "A party for Henry, next Saturday!"

"No, guys, really…I don't want a party. Don't go though all this trouble for me…" Henry spoke quietly.

"Who says they're going to all the trouble! Lord knows they'll dump it on me Alice and Jeri! But we don't mind! Now do we girls?" Julia looked over at the two.

"No!"

"Of course not! It'll be fun!" was Jeri's reply.

"Then that's that. A party we shall have!" Kenta put in. "Well guys, I gotta go. See you all tomorrow!"

"See you chumleys!"

"Guilmon! Stop eating! Bye guys!"

"Bye everyone!"

"Renamon…let's go."

"Hey! Pumpkin! Wait for me!"

"Well…I need to go."

"Can I come with you?"

"Yea sure."

"Thanks Alice."

"No problem. Plus anything's better than going to the mall with my dad to buy PINK."

"Hahaha! Glad to hear you're enjoying my company so much already."

"Yeah…right. Cya Henry!"

"Bye Alice! Bye Julia! Come on Suzie. We gotta go home."

"Coming Henwy!"
