Hey guys I'm so sorry! When I started this I promised myself I wouldn't be one of the authors that abandoned there stories for months but I obviously failed but it's almost over & I'll try to be better about it.

I do not own digimon!

Ch 17. The Queen is back!

Rika's POV

The walk home was so awkward! When did this happen? How did I become one of those pathetic girls Alice and I make fun of? The ones who blush and hide when their crush is near.

"Oof!" Damn forgot Calumon was on my stomach shouldn't have rolled over.

"Sorry Calumon I forgot you where there."

"How could Rika forget me?" Crap here come the tears.

"I'm sorry hey you're ok shh." I bounce him up and down lightly like you would a fussing baby.

I'm disappointed Rika

I look up to see Renamon lounging the bed I had just left. By what?

When I left you where head strong, brave and took what you wanted no matter who or what got in the way. Now you hide in your room afraid of rejection when before you would never have taken no for an answer.

Stunned I stared at her but I knew she was right and not just about Matt I had let that idiot who was after me run me out of my home, my town and all I did was shake and shy away from him. I let him win without so much as a fight.

Damn it! How did this happen Renamon?

I don't know Rika but you are my Tamer and I know you still have it in you to fight to be the Digimon Queen that you were that you are. So what happens now Rika?

What happens now? We take down that son of a bitch and I take what's mine!

I give her my best smirk and see the approval in her eyes and matching smirk. By now Calumon had calmed down and fallen asleep so I placed him on the bed while Renamon got up and left saying she was going to see if the others had found anything on the Ice Devimon.

I left my room finding Matt in the kitchen making himself a sandwich with his phone in his back pocket. Perfect.

I quietly walk up behind him reaching in slowly and taking his phone smirking at the shocked look on his face. I dial Takato's number and wait for him to answer.

"Hello" Came the hesitant response.

"Yo Goggle Head!" My loud reply. I can feel Matt watching me. Time to have some fun.

"Rika? Where are you calling from?" He's not fazed by my loudness I need to find a new way to bug him.

"Matt's phone was to lazy to find mine." After finishing my sentence I lean closer to Matt taking a bite from his sandwich right when he's about to take a bite our mouths very close to touching. He jerks in surprise while I act like nothing happened.

"Right lazy." Damn did everyone know?

"Anyways I need a batch of jelly rolls for Calumon as a prize for staying in still until I got out of school oh and Renamon is on her way over to see what you guys got."

"Ok tomorrows Saturday so I'll bring some over. I think all the Tamers are coming so we need some place to meet any ideas?" I look at Matt raising an eyebrow when I see how closely he was watching me.

"Hold on let me ask Matt." I turn towards him while he washes his plate. "The Tamers are coming tomorrow but we need a place to meet know any?"

He took his time in answering while he turned to me leaning on the counter, "Tai & Dai have a game tomorrow at noon why don't they meet us there after the game we can all decide where to go and get down to business."

I nod then ture back to my phone conversation, "He says to meet at noon at the schools soccer field Tai and Daisuke have a game we can talk after."

"Got it and Rika go easy on the guy." You know me so well.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Attempt at being innocent notice I said attempt.

He laughs, "Sure at least keep him out of Ryo's reach tomorrow." Ugh! Ryo I forgot about that idiot.

I can see Matt raise his eyebrows in question when he see's my scowl, "Tell that idiot if he doesn't behave tomorrow we'll have a repeat of the haunted house incident!"

I can almost see him wince, "Jeez Rika not that again it was horrible he couldn't walk right for a month. I'll let him know though I gotta go Henry and the others are waiting see you tomorrow."

"Bye"

Matt's POV

"What's the haunted house incident and who's the idiot?" I think I'll sit down I still haven't recovered from the moment with the sandwich. Earlier she did everything to avoid me now she almost kissed me to get a bite of my sandwich.

Rika sitting down next to me and draping her legs over mine brought me out of my thoughts.

"Ryo." Just hearing his name annoyed me, "He tried to take advantage of the haunted house we were in to make a move. It annoyed me so I hooked his underwear up to one of the wires that were used to carry the fake ghosts on taped his mouth and tied his hands together. He was stuck that way for the three days the festival went on until they were bringing down the props they realized he wasn't just a really well made dummy."

Is it possible to be horrified and proud at the same time? She's been playing with my shirt collar the whole time so I'm kind of distracted.

"That's… I don't know if it's brilliant or just plain evil."

My heart nearly stopped when she leaned in to whisper, "Can't we just say it's brilliantly evil?" in my ear.

Then she flopped back against the couch and said, "I'm bored entertain me." More like demand.

"As much as it would please me to do as her majesty wishes," voice filled with sarcasm, "I have band practice." I start getting up only to freeze when she pouts very cutely I might add.

"You'd leave me in my time of need."

"I don't think boredom if fatal so I feel no guilt in leaving you."

Now she looks mad, yup the pillow to the face confirms it.

"Fine leave see if I care." I watch her storm back to her room more confused then I have ever been in my life.

Whatever I have a practice to get to.

After Practice

I got home to find Rika on the couch channel surfing she looking blank.

"Hey are you alright." I try not to sound too concerned though I shouldn't have worried she was so out of it took her awhile to get that I was even talking.

"Huh oh yeah I'm fine just thinking."

"Uh-huh" Oh yeah I so believe you.

She got up all of a sudden making me jump, "I'm going to bed now."

"Hey wait" She gives me a questioning look to save myself the embarrassment I tossed her the box of chocolates I had gotten her as apology for leaving for practice even if I didn't have to apologize for doing something I always do to a girl who isn't even my girlfriend.

Man I am so screwed.

She looked at the box for awhile a slow smile spreading on her face like she got the implication. I was preparing for her to mock me only to have her come up to me and give me an Eskimo kiss. Then she left leaving my both thrilled and annoyed as hell. Do I look like her creampuff of a digimon? Next time she's not getting away without giving me a real kiss.

There you go hope you like it. Review please.
