A Carosel For Two
I'm releasing this story again... it was such a big hit before.. I'm breaking it down to chapters.. changing some of the names since I can't really remember the chapter names so deal with me here. ^_^
----
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy..
I'll be your hope,
I'll be your love,
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath,
Truly, madly, deeply do.
I will be strong..
I will be faithful..
'Cause I'm counting on
A new beginning,
A reason for living,
A deeper meaning...
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea,
I want to lay like this forever..
Until the sky falls down on me.

"This is Amy Merandiz of channel eleven news, reporting live from the fairgrounds to announce the 60th Annual Sakura Carnival is in town! We're going to be broadcasting live from 5 to 6 tonight at the ABC tent! All of you, come out and see us!"
Henry smirked, leaned forward on the couch and watched the large ferris wheel behind the reporter on the TV. He'd never missed it in his whole life and he definatly wasn't this year. He was going to the carnival with Takato this year and somehow he was going to get Takato to ride it to.
"Henwy, that angwy boy is on the phone again!" his little sister Suzy called from the hallway.
Henry half groaned, half grinned and stood up from the couch and walked over to where his little sister held the phone to her chest waiting for him to come retrieve it.
With a small giggle at noticing Henry's bedroom door open and Terriermon sitting on the bed she threw the phone at him and took off. "TEWIERMON.. IT'S TIME FOW A BUBBLE-BATH!!" she yelled, running into the room.
Henry grimaced and held the phone up to his ear, knowing he'd hear about the famous 'Suzy treatment' all afternoon once Terriermon puffed up like a marshmellow from the bath.
"Hello?" he said a bit nervously, still watching the bedroom door and what he could see of his little sister.
"Hey Henry... hey I needed to tell you me and my parents are going out of town this weekend... you'll have to find someone else."
Henry stood silent for a moment, leaning backwards to try and see where his sister went after she went out of his sight.
"Yeah okay sure." he answered after catching site of her again and noticing she was caught up in playing with a stuffed animal she had left in his room the day before.
"Okay.. well I'll pray for you if another Deva breaks through." Henry heard the laugh on the other end following it.
"Oh com'on between my knowledge and Rika's battle-craziness I think we'll be fine." Henry laughed also.
"Well we're leaving RIGHT NOW.. so I'll talk to you later... tell Rika I left for me."
"Sure Takato. See you later."
"See ya."
Henry hung up the phone, peered back at his sister, seeing she had gone back to her own bedroom and was in there playing.
He picked up the receiver again and started dialing Rika's number praying she picked up instead of her mother or grandmother.
"Hello?" a voice on the other end said.
A look of surprise crossed his face.
"Renamon?" he asked, the surprise definatly coming through in his voice.
"You want Rika. Just a moment." the sturn voice answered, then it went silent.
A bothered-like sigh came from the other end.
"Hello?" an irretated voice of Rika asked.
"Hey.. Rika.. um.. it's.. Henry..."
"What do YOU want?"
"Takato wanted me to call you and tell you he's going out of town for the weekend." Henry said a bit slowly.
"Oh... whatever..."
Henry didn't move, and his eyes went blank when they did when he was thinking hard and long.
After a moment or two of silence on both ends Rika sighed.
"Anything else?"
"Yeah um.. the carnival this weekend..." Henry started, but his mind screamed for him to stop, screamed louder than anything at him, telling him he'd make a complete idiot of himself if he asked.
"Yeah what about it?" Rika's voice changed into a tone Henry had never heard out of her. Even the 'what the heck' out of Renamon in the background confirmed to him that she hadn't used that tone around her either.
"You going to it?"
There was silence on the other end for a moment.
"I wasn't really planning on it... more something you go with someone else to. I wouldn't be seen alive there with my grandmother and my mother dosen't want to go."
"You can go with me." when the words slipped out of his mouth he shut his eyes tightly, his mind screaming at him about how stupid he was.
"With YOU?" Rika's voice had that same weird change in it again, almost excitment running through it.
Henry opened his eyes back up, clentching his one fist so hard from embarresment that his knuckles were white.
"Yeah... yeah with me."
Henry's older sister popped her head into the room at the sound of her brother's words and just grinned at him.
Henry glared at her, and put his finger to his lips signaling her to not say a single word.
His sister just grinned and leaned against the wall, watching him.
"Well, I uh---"
Henry just stood silent on the phone, not knowing why he was so anxious. He knew she'd say no.
"How about you pick me up around.... seven this Saturday?"
Henry felt his jaw drop to the ground.
"I uh-- I um--- sure." He forced out of his throat.
"It's a date then." and the other end hung up.
Henry dropped the phone and it dangled from the wall unit, his face just blank.
His sister burst out laughing and walked back in her room, closing the door behind her.

"What was that about, Rika?" Renamon asked, a concerned sound in her voice.
"He's going to pick me up Saturday to discuss buisness about the Devas." Rika said sharply at her, a glare across her face.
"Didn't sound like it to me."
"Shut up! You don't have any right to know what I do!" Rika stood up from kneeling at her table and grew extremly defensive.
Renamon took a step back, seeing she was serious.
"As you wish..." Renamon sighed, and vanished into the shadows.
Seeing Renamon disapeered Rika stood silent for a moment, but a smile crawled across her face and soon she was running out of her room to put the cordless phone back on the hook.
Her mother sat at the kitchen table and saw the smile on her daughter's face as she hung up the phone.
"Well, what's this about?" she asked, putting her newspaper down.
Rika's mother was taken by complete surprise when Rika kissed her cheek and smiled.
"I'll be gone this Saturday evening."
Her mother just stared at her as she ran back out of the room back down the hall to her room.
"That isn't my daughter." her mother said as Rika's grandmother entered the room. "Someone has stolen my daughter and replaced her with some perfect child."
