Chapter 1: The Vacation Begins

HONK, HONK. A dark blue minivan pulled up in front of Rika's house. Takato's dad could be seen in the driver's seat, Takato, with a red t-shirt and khaki-colored shorts was in the passenger seat. Rika came out of her house, duffle bag slung over her shoulder. She was wearing a black tank-top and blue jean shorts. She opened the door of the van and got in, greeting the other tamers. She sat in the back row. Jeri, in a yellow tank-top and a light green mini-skirt, Kazu, in a aqua t-shirt and khaki-colored shorts, and Kenta, in a green t-shirt, also with khaki-colored shorts, already in the front row squished together. They were going to Henry's house next.

Henry came out of his house, followed by Suzie. He wore a white t-shirt with blue jean shorts, his duffel in his hand. Suzie wore a pink tank-top with a pink mini-skirt, her bag on her back. They got in the van. "Hey," Henry greeted. "Hi!" Suzie nearly screamed. "That excited?" Rika asked Henry. "Yeah," he replied laughing. The two sat next to Rika in the back row. Last and final stop before they headed on their way, Ryo.

Mr. Matsuki pulled up in front of Ryo Akiyama, the Digimon King's house. He honked the horn. They waited for about 2 minutes for Ryo to get out of the house. "He's taking forever. What's his problem?" Rika stated, annoyed. "How should WE know?" Kazu retorted. Ryo came out of his house wearing a black t-shirt and blue jean shorts. His hair was in his normal 'do with the two grouped bangs drooped on his forehead. His blue duffel slung over his right shoulder. He got into the back row of the car next to Rika. "Hi guys, Pumpkin," he greeted happily, smirking at Rika. She glared at him. "Did he really have to come?" she asked, almost whining. "Of course he did. He's the best tamer in the world and what's a tamers camp out slash vacation without him?" Kazu responded. Rika rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

The car ride was boring. Kazu and Kenta attempted to tell jokes, which only caused Rika to yell at them. Suzie had ended up on Henry's lap so they all had more space. Jeri had a headache from Kazu, Kenta, and Rika, Takato had fallen asleep. Ryo was staring out the back window, wondering how much longer it would take.

It was 4PM by the time they got to the site. It was an area with a lot of trees. Many lodges were spread out around the area. There was a lake at the center of the site. Mr. Matsuki dropped the tamers off at the front, said "good-bye", "don't get yourselves killed" and left. The tamers carried their belongings and walked to their lodge, glad to stretch their legs. All too busy looking at the scenery of trees, trees, and more trees, trying to memorize their surroundings so they wouldn't get lost during their stay. There was silence until they reached their lodge.

"Our home for two weeks, lets hope it's comfortable," Rika said, breaking the silence. They opened the door and went in. What they saw was a cozy home that would be comfortable, thankfully, or Rika would've been really annoyed. "So there are 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs. Each with two twin size beds in them. Then the kitchen and dining room downstairs. Two bathrooms on each floor. Cable, Internet access. A TV set in each bedroom and also computer. One word, WOW," Henry commented, checking the brochure. "Cheap too," Takato added. "Dudes, we are so gonna have a blast," Kazu said, speaking for all. The Tamers just stared at the living room, taking everything in. Suddenly, Rika and Jeri called out, "We get the top rooms!" The two girls both ran upstairs and claimed a room each. "No fair. They get the best rooms," complained Kazu. "Come on, there's still two more down here," Kenta said to Kazu, motioning him to follow. The two claimed one of the two bedrooms downstairs to share. "I'm taking the other one and I'm sharing it with Suzie," Henry told Takato and Ryo. "You have your choice of sharing with Jeri or Rika. Or you can try forcing them to share. Good luck on the latter," Henry said, going to the other downstairs bedroom with Suzie. Takato and Ryo looked at each other. "You're obviously going with Jeri so that means I'm going with Rika," Ryo stated plainly, slightly amused. "I don't think you wanna even attempt trying to get them to share a room," Ryo said laughing. "Yeah," Takato agreed. The boys went upstairs with their bags.

Every one of the rooms suited the tamers that claimed them, in color anyway. Everything else was exactly the same.

Ryo entered the room Rika had claimed. It had dark blue curtains, white wallpaper, and a dark blue carpet. Both beds were covered with dark blue comforters over sky blue sheets. Next to each bed was a night stand and a garbage can. A desk by the window housed the computer and the TV was on a stand, centered on the wall across from the two beds. "Hey, Pumpkin. Mind sharing a room?" Ryo asked Rika, smirking. "You've gotta be kidding me," Rika groaned. She plopped herself down on one of the beds. Ryo tossed his things by the other bed and walked over to where she was. "What? I don't exactly bite now, do I? But you do," he said laughing. Rika glared at him, but she burst out laughing in about 5 seconds. "I guess that is true," she said, still laughing. Rika got off the bed and began to unpack. She split her clothes between the 3 drawers built into the bed. Ryo did the same.

Meanwhile, Takato had entered the room Jeri had claimed. It had bright red curtains, white wallpaper, and a dark red carpet. The two beds were covered with red comforters over bright yellow sheets. Like Ryo and Rika's room, it had a night stand and garbage can by each bed. Everything else in the room, TV and computer, was also the same. Takato dropped his bags by one of the beds and started unpacking. Jeri looked at him, slightly puzzled. "Umm...are we sharing a room or something?," she asked him. "Yeah," Takato replied, slightly blushing. "Oh, okay," was Jeri's response, her cheeks also turning red. She resumed unpacking her own things.

Henry and Suzie had already finished unpacking in their room downstairs. Their room had pink curtains, green carpet, and white wallpaper. The beds had green comforters and pink sheets, much to Henry's disappointment. He'd live, hopefully. Everything else in the room was also the same as the ones on the upper floor.

Kazu and Kenta didn't even bother unpacking. They threw their bags into the final room and ran to the kitchen. They might as well had slept in there. Across the hall was probably good enough for them though. Anyways, their room had orange curtains, a yellow carpet, and bright red wallpaper. The beds had orange comforters and dark green sheets, making them look like pumpkins. The room's inhabitants for two weeks had already opened the fridge to find it filled with fruits, vegetables, and many other foods. Moving on to the freezer, they found poultry and other frozen goods, not to mention the ice cream. If it weren't for the boys' fear of Rika, the fridge would've been empty within 5 minutes.

It was 6 by the time everyone had settled in. Jeri had decided to cook dinner; Takato helped her. Suzie was watching cartoons in hers and Henry's room while Henry was to keep an eye on Kazu and Kenta. Rika went out to take a walk and Ryo was nowhere to be found.
