If Only It Was Real
Con: I'm back for the first time in the Year 2004 for a new fic! Seeing as tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I decided to put up a Valentine fic :) Hope you enjoy, as this is one of the few fics that I do without any roughs...and worse, it's not a one-shot either!

Chapter 1: Only Friends And No More
-------------------------
The light blue sky gifted little white snowflakes to the world below, covering the streets and roofs of houses. The air was filled with the sound of the people of West Shinjuku doing their shopping for Valentine's Day, which was only two whole days away. Little children ran to the shelves looking for suitable Valentine cards to give their classmates, husbands and wives did their best to plan a vacation on that loving day, and adolescents bought little gifts to give to another.
"C'mon!" Jeri exclaimed, running into an already crowded grocery store. "We have to hurry up before everything is sold out!"
"Well you should have done your shopping earlier," Alice reasoned, following the hazel-eyed girl into the store, stopping when she saw that the third girl hadn't moved. "C'mon Rika."
Rika Nonaka folded her arms cross her chest in a stubborn sort of matter. "Remember that I didn't follow you two willingly so don't expect me to follow you inside."
Jeri poked her head outside. "Rika...you agreed to help me..."
"Yeah, but 'helping' didn't include buying gifts for Valentine's Day. Anyways, you've got Alice to help you in that category," Rika countered as she turned around to go. "Me, I'm going home."
Jeri grabbed her friend's hand and began pulling her into the store. "You can go home anytime! You can't buy gifts for Valentine's anytime!"
The inside of the store was decorated for the occasion. Large pink balloon hearts floated to the roof with words such as "Be My Valentine!", "Make My Day Valentine!", "Happy Valentine's Day!" and even one that said "Discounts On All Valentine Related Products!". Pictures of Cupid dangled from the ceiling on thin strings and red streamers hung through the store as well.
Jeri dragged Rika with a trailing Alice into an aisle where candy and chocolate filled up the shelves. Spaces in the neatly arranged items indicated that others had bought these sweets as well, and there were many missing. The fourteen-year-old Katou released her friend's hand and instead started to browse the chocolates.
"What are you looking for Jeri?" Alice questioned her.
"I don't know," Jeri admitted. "What kind of chocolate do you think Takato would like? The ones with caramel in it or the ones with peanuts in it?"
"What? This is what this is all about?" Rika exclaimed in disbelief. "Chocolates? For Takato? THIS is the reason you dragged me here?"
Jeri laughed. "Well, aren't we supposed to give something to boys? Chocolates are a common thing to give to someone you like in Japan. Of course I'm not only giving Takato this, I'm going to give him something to go along with it." She turned to Rika and Alice. "And you two are going to be getting something as well."
Alice raised an eyebrow. "For..."
"You, for Henry of course!"
Alice blushed and directed her light blue eyes towards the ground. "You know, you don't need to announce it to the entire world."
Rika rolled her eyes. Jeri's ideas could be so ridiculous sometimes. "And since I'm don't need to be part of this I guess I can go."
"But aren't you going to get something for Ryo?"
The receiver of the message scowled. "Why do you always have to mention Ryo in every conversation we're in? I'd told you before and I'll tell you again, me and Ryo are just friends!"
"Very special friends," Alice McCoy pointed out.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten that we can give chocolates to our friends as well! They're just obligation chocolates. You don't only have to give them to someone you like, you can give them to your male friends as well, for example: Ryo," Jeri stated. It was obvious that this girl had been preparing for denial.
Rika's frown became deeper. "Fine!" She grabbed a whole bunch of the boxes and turned to face the two again. "See? I've got all these! Now would you two please get off my back about Ryo?!"
Alice tried to stifle a giggle, only to have it come out anyways. When she received a glare from Rika's light violet eyes, she tried to regain her composure. "Really, we stopped ages ago. But it's funny, you act so defensively whenever we talk about you and Ryo."
"No I don't," she denied before walking over to the cashier to pay for her gifts. Her friends ran up to her with their own chocolaty Valentines.
"Rika, you've got to at least like him a little bit," said Jeri.
Growling, Rika turned on her friends. "Can you guys quit it? I don't like him more than a friend and that's period!" When the cashier rang up the total, Rika quickly gave the money and stormed out of the store despite her friends' pleas to wait.
'How dare they play with me this way?' the fourteen-year-old adolescent thought furiously. 'They're not the ones who aren't willing to fall in love!' Rika slowed down when her brain registered what it had thought. 'I don't want to be more. I don't want to fall in love. I don't want to be hurt again...'
