How To Win The Heart Of The Girl That You Secretly Love
By: Smashfriends
Freak: A Ranma O.V.A.-Desperately Seeking Shampoo inspired us to write this, well just something that happens in there, a book the Ranma uses.
MMX2: We already tortured the D.I.Q. and the goggle-head. It was funny torture the D.I.Q. but it was better (for us) to torture the goggle-headed tamer.
Aerisakura: But now, we might torture Henry too.
Terriermon: Poor Henry, he is going to get the worst if you do.
Freak: This will like a torture for the three of them, and for the father of a certain sock puppet maniac.
MMX2: We used something like this in other fic, but that was something like how to win the heart of a girl that already has a boyfriend, but in here the D.I.Q. doesn't has a boyfriend, so..
Aerisakura: The goggle-head…well just read.
MMX2: Yeah, we already say enough.
Terriermon: They don't own Digimon, lucky-lucky us.
Freak: By the way you could visit the "'lil' sister" webpage we made in http://geocities.com/the_smashfriends/ we have some new Final Fantasy 7 and Escaflowne Images.
Chapter 1: The Book
Henry couldn't believe his hears, what his best friend just told him just couldn't be truth, that was simple impossible, but also this news, if they were truth, he would have a chance, but…it just couldn't be, who could be so…well idiot but brave to let himself fall in love with the Digimon Ice Queen?, all this thoughts filled Henry's head, but the answer to the question, was answered before the question was even made, he best friend has just told him so, Takato, the goggle-headed tamer was in love with the D.I.Q., but let's just go back a few minutes ago…
5 minutes ago….
Henry was walking towards Guilmon's house, Terriermon he didn't brought Terriermon with him, he left him at his house with his sister and Lopmon (Terriermon: You are sooo mean), his best friend Takato had asked to talk to him alone, and had specified to not bring the any bunny-dog with him.
Henry, wondered what could be so important, curious, he started to run, and soon he found himself standing in front Guilmon's house, he walked inside the little shed that was know as Guilmon's house and found there a happy Guilmon stuffing his snout with day-old bread while Takato was laughing at his Digimon partner, Henry, already impatient to know what was so important to make him come so early (it was just 10 in the morning, but you know how the last days of vacation are, you only want to get up really late and have has much rest as you want, then playing videogames like crazy, and well, you know how it is).
Henry cleared his throat making Takato finally notice that Henry was already there waiting for him to speak. Takato blinked and Henry took at exasperated sigh and said "What was what you wanted to tell me, Takato?"
Takato laughed nervously and he said looking at Guilmon "Hey boy, stay there, we'll come back in a while"
Henry looked surprised, but he was still intrigued, what could be so important for Takato and so secret, that not even Guilmon should hear, but then again, the little dinosaur like Digimon use to blurt out information when he doesn't understand something or just because he is careless, anyway, Takato went out of Guilmon's house and Henry followed, they climbed down the stairs and Takato took at seat at the end of the stairs, Henry did the same and when he did Takato took a depth breath.
"I..kinda…well…how to say this…ummm..." Takato said (more like mumbled), exasperating Henry, who been already exasperated said "Say it already, whatever it is, just say it"
"I'minlovewithRika" Takato blurted out, Henry at first didn't really understand what was what Takato said, and he was about to ask again when the words finally found sence in his head 'I'm in love with Rika' the words repeated themselves on Henry's head in really slow motion, and then it happened, he was in shock..
And now, we go back to were we started……
'Takato just lose it, or I lose it, maybe I didn't hear well' Henry searched in his brain for a logical explanation 'I mean, is not that Rika is ugly, she is very pretty, I must admit, but her personality is as cold as an iceberg, and it gets to be scary, very scary, she is really short tempered and will kill you with out second thoughts' "Ummm..Henry, are you alright?" Takato interrupted Henry's thoughts and finally, Henry snapped.
"Did you just say that you like Rika?" Henry said, secretly praying that what he didn't heard what he thought he heard, his friend would be killed in the moment he get to said that to the D.I.Q., since again, he was stupid but brave, no doubt he would try to do just that, go and confess to her.
"No I didn't say I like her" Takato said and Henry let out a sigh of relieve "I said that I was in love with her" Takato said and Henry eyes wined he was about to space out again but something that Takato say stopped him from doing so.
"I bough this book, it says how to win her heart" Takato said smiling and showed the book to his friend.
Henry blinked 'Now, be in love with the craziest woman is one thing but, get a book to try to "win her heart" is another, and is even worst' Henry thought and turned to look at Takato narrowing his eyes and giving that are-you-crazy look. But Takato didn't noticed, and something popped out in Henry's head, it could be bad for him if he said it, but he doesn't has anything to lose.
"Hey Takato, what about Jeri?" Henry said and regretted those words, he has a crush on the girl, but since he thought that his friend liked her, he never tried anything.
"Uh? I didn't told you about that?" Takato said and laughed nervously and continued "Ummm, I told her that I liked her, but she told me that she didn't like me like that, that she liked me just like a friend, and short after that was when I realized that I was in love with Rika"
Henry felt like strangling him, and was about to do so but Takato stopped him by saying "I know that you like Jeri, so I could lend you the book and you could try your luck with it"
Henry was now even more shocked and said "How did you..?" "After I told Jeri how I felt, or better said, after I told her how I thought I felt, I noticed that you liked her" Takato said smiling to his friend.
Henry remained silent and just looked at Takato read the book titled "How To Win The Heart Of The Girl That You Secretly Love" at this Henry sweat dropped.
"Takato, where did you found this odd book" Henry said looking at the weird book. Takato stopped reading and remembered…
Yesterday morning, at the mall….
Takato was walking around looking for new Digimon cards when he came to be on front an odd bookstore that he never had seen before, and just for curiosity, he walked to the shop window and see what kind of books they had, and then he saw it, the book that could resolve all his troubles, he searched through his pockets and see if he had enough money, luckily he had just enough to buy it, so he went inside the store and buy it.
Back to the present…..
"But the weird thing is that I never had seen that store before, and the guys that work in there were weird too, but that doesn't matter, I will try the first step tonight" Takato said full of confidence.
"Takato, I don't think that you should.." Henry said trying to get some sense into his friend head.
"Come on, Henry, you could try it with Jeri, what could you lose?" Takato said cheerfully, Henry just sweat dropped and thought 'I still can get used to the idea that you like Rika, still I don't know why you do, and now I have to get to the idea that you'll try to win her head, Takato maybe Rika is right and those goggles doesn't let the blood get to your brain properly, but then again, I'm bored so why not, let's see in what kind of troubles Takato gets in, and who knows maybe I could try it too'
"Ok, Takato, I will help you" Henry said smiling to himself at the thought that crossed his head.
