Hey everyone, I'm back. And ready to give you guys another chapter...

After some responses.

ShadowAK22: Hehe, maybe I am a little evil after all.

True2Momentai: Yes, a bad idea indeed, especially with what I have planned.

Guest: A bit yes, it is funny to see him shake a bit.

And now to the chapter, which actually may be very low in quality, as I had NO idea what to do for a lot of it, so bear with me here.


Rika knelt down next to the sobbing Jeri.

"Jeri, what's wrong?"

Jeri didn't answer, only whimpered slightly.

Rika sighed.

"This is about Henry isn't it?" she questioned, remembering Renamon mentioning hoe Henry and Jeri had disappeared during the party.

Jeri seemed to nod at that, though it was hard to tell with her head down and her arms covering her face.

"Jeri," she said, "you and Henry are still going to be friends, it's not like this all is going to change that."

"It's not weather or not we'll still be friends Rika," Jeri finally said, her voice quivering, "it was the way he reacted when he saw me, he didn't say a word at all, just put on his clothes and ran."

Rika sighed again.

"He was probably just scared Jeri," she replied, "if it makes you feel any better, when Takato saw me this morning, he rolled off the bed to take cover."

"If he freaked out about us sleeping together, then what happens if I end up pregnant from all this? I can't imagine him taking it well."

Rika's brain seem to snap a quick connection at that statement.

Crap, she thought, I've been so worried about everything else this morning, I didn't even think about...Crap!

"Jeri," the Digimon Queen said, pushing aside her own thoughts for the time being, "if that does happen, I'm sure Henry will take responsibility, he's not the kind of guy to run from his problems."

"But-"

"No 'but's you know as well as I do that Henry is no coward, and would help you in any possible way he could if that did happen."

Jeri sighed.

"You're right," she said, "I'm just so scared."

"What do you have to be scared of?" Rika asked, patting her friend's back slightly.

"It's just...well..." Jeri sighed, "promise you won't laugh?"

"Why would I-"

"Rika."

"Alright, I promise."

"I kinda...sorta...like Henry."

Rika listened to her friend, and nodded.

Makes sense, she thought, Takato did say at one point they had agreed to just stay friends a few years ago.

Just then they heard the doorbell ring.


Suzie rang the doorbell a second time.

Rika opened the door.

"Hey Rika," Henry said, "hope you don't mind, but I brought Suzie with me."

"As long as she's not underfoot she's fine," Rika said.

"Hey," Suzie said, "I don't get underfoot."

Henry rolled his eyes.

Rika let them both in, explaining to Henry what she had learned about the current state of her house.

"T-bone steaks? On the ceiling? How- you know what, we'll just say it's Kazu logic and stick with that, only he could pull off something like that."

They entered the living room, where Jeri was already sitting on one of the couch cushions. She gave the three tamers and the two digimon a wave.

"I'm gonna go do some stuff before the others get here," Rika said, "Suzie?"

"Yeah," the younger girl asked.

"Could you go watch the door in case the others show up?"

"Sure," the child said, running back towards the door, happy to help.

Rika shot a quick look at Terriermon, to which the long eared rabbit-dog followed Suzie and Lopmon.

Rika motioned for Renamon (who had been standing in the corner of the room) to follow her, and she went down the hall, the fox digimon following.

"Was it smart to leave those two alone?" Renamon asked.

"They need to talk it out Renamon."

"And will you be talking to Takato later?"

"Of course," Rika said, "I need to ask him a few questions, and get somethings strait with him.

"Like what?"

"Like if he's going to take responsibility if I end up...you know."

"If you end up what Rika?" asked the digimon, confusion apparent in her voice.

Rika sighed.

"I'll explain later."

She entered her mother's room, and began collecting the sheets for the wash.


Okay, so there it is...yikes.

Hope you all enjoyed it...at least a bit more than I did. (This chapter may get a rewrite so watch for that. I'll give a heads up.)

Please review, I need to sleep, it's 2:00 in the morning here, so good night, or is it good morning?
