*last school bell rings* 1:00 PM
"Hey, can you help me on my project for school?" the auburn haired girl asked.
"Sure, I'm okay with any subject. Well, except science." the blue haired boy replied.
"No, it's just for photography."
"What would I have to do?"
"Just help me take pictures, and maybe a bit of modeling. If you're up for it."
"I know the perfect place. Come on. Let's take the bus."
The two waited as the bus arrived. Once the bus arrived, the two of them took their seats and waited patiently.
"Oh! I love this song!" The boy was listening to his mp3 player. Henry then began to sing out of key, loudly.
"What is that noise?" she opened her eyes.
"My singing. I don't suppose you can do any better." he teased. She paused. She hesitated, but she stayed silent.
"Hmph" She crossed her arms and looked out the window. Henry grinned. He continued to sing the rest of the bus ride.
A couple of minutes later, Rika was already asleep. Henry smiled once he saw the stubborn girl sleep. Minutes before they got their stop, Henry noticed the tamer still fast asleep. He gave a mischievous smile at her, and decided to take out her camera. He took a picture of the both of them while she was still fast asleep. He finally decided to wake Rika up.
"Rika...Rika…" he nudged her shoulder until she woke up. She fluttered her eyes open and groaned.
"Give me five minutes." she complained.
"Nice to see you awake."
"Where are we?"
"A park."
"All of this for a park." she groaned.
"There's a place I want you to see." he grinned.
They both left after the bus made a stop nearby the park. Henry led the way as they went through a trail.
"Close your eyes."
"Do I real-"
"Do it." she rolled her eyes and closed them.
"Open them" She opened her eyes and saw the park filled with cherry blossom trees. It was simply beautiful. The cool breeze struck the trees and the petals from the trees had been blown away. She admired in awe.
"So what you think?" the boy asked.
"It's amazing." She paused and admired the view.
"So about those photos…" She nodded and pulled out her camera.
Hours passed by as the two tamers took photos of the beautiful sight. Along the way, they had moments where they took multiple videos and pictures of them goofing off.
The two sat together under one of the cherry blossom trees, with slight distance from each other.
"Henry?" Rika asked.
"What's wrong Rika?"
"I just wanted to know. What was your first impression of me?"
"Well… At first, I was surprised how independent you were. You would always keep things to yourself. You would care about becoming stronger as a Tamer and that Digimon were only data, which I have to admit did bothered me. But, as I gotten to known you more you became more open with the people you loved, and I admire how you grew as a person."
"Thanks Henry."
"So what about me?" He chuckled.
"Well, at first I was a bit shocked when you never let Terriermon fight at all, and the idea that the Digimon were our friends. Then I realized what you meant. As I gotten to know you, you were always calm and respected others for who they are. And I always admired you, because you're a great person at heart."
"You're a great person, you know that Rika? You're different from the others. I can relate with you, and I can always rely on you. I always wished that back when you were trying to fight the D-Reaper back in the Digital world that I saved you… Not Ry-" realizing what he said, he quickly changed the subject.
"I'm so tired." Henry chuckled. "I think we're done for the day." Rika gave him a confused look right when he had changed the subject.
"How about this, I'll buy you lunch as a thank you gift for helping me."
"I wouldn't mind that either. Let's take one more photo just the two of us." Henry stood up and handed out his hand to Rika. Rika took the hand, and Henry helped Rika up. Henry settled the camera on a stand and timed the camera for 30 seconds.
"I'm not smiling. It wouldn't look natural." Rika complained.
"Come on, just for this one photo." He still saw Rika not smiling still, so he place his fingers on her cheeks, playfully forcing her to smile. The camera wet off, and the photo was taken.
