A/N: Okay so I removed a whole chuck of the story here, so from here on the story differs drastically from the original. Tell me what you think? Like, dislike?

He smiled and affectionately replied, "Nice to see you too Wildcat."

"Hi Katie." Aray said cheerfully.

The girl named Katie looked up from her cards.

"Hi Ryo, I didn't know you were coming down today and a school day at that!" the girl glanced back at her cards and placed one on the playing felid.

"Hey Susie, so who's winning so far?" Ryo asked, not all that really interested in the game.

"Katie is, oh I'm sorry you don't know Katie and who's this? Your new girlfriend?" she asked with a smirk.

Ryo's cheeks blush a little and he raised an eyebrow, "Um no this is-"

"Susie this is my sister Aray, the one I was talking to." Katie interrupted.

"Oh ok." Susie said while looking at the cards in her hand.

Katie's eyes flickered to Susie, and then back to her own cards, "I see you already know my sister's friend." She turned to Ryo, "I take it that you already know Rika and Susie now who are you?" she said placing a card on the field, eyeing the rest of her cards.

"Oh I'm sorry I'm Ryo Akiyama" he replied.

Katie turned and stared at him, for quite some time. Why does he look so familiar? Those eyes I know I've seen them before and he even has the same last name as me. Odd, I never had any brothers or sister, or did I?

Aray was tapping Katie on her shoulder, "Katie, uh Katie hello is there something wrong?"

"Huh? Oh sorry, it's nothing I was just thinking." Katie quickly answered.

"Katie, one of Ryo's friends invited us to go to the digital world." Aray informed her excitedly.

Rika sighed. "Oh, what a joy! Ryo's coming." She said sarcastically.

"Aw come on Wildcat, I can't be that bad." He chuckled, throwing a light punch at her shoulder.

"Yes you can." She shot back, moving her arm away from him.

By this time Katie and Susie finished their battle and were talking about the up coming trip to the digital world, and well about their Digimon.

Aray was quietly observing Rika and Ryo's conversation. Wow those two doesn't have much of a relationship. It looks like Rika doesn't like Ryo that much. I wonder why, he's such a nice guy. I wonder why he calls her 'Wildcat' that's a weird name to call a person. Or maybe it's a nickname? Oh how cute!

"Oh god Do you ever shut up?" Rika cried, her voice dripping with annoyance.

"No, not really, especially when it comes to you." He said wearing a proud smile.

"Forget it!" she snapped.

"Forget what Wildcat?"

"There's no point in talking to you! You make absolutely no sense!"

Aray smiled at the two's wrangling; it was cute how they fought, like an old married couple. She giggled to herself quietly and shook her head at the two and walked over to where Katie and Suzie were and started up a conversation with them.

His smile grew wider, "Come on Wildcat I'm just haven' some fun with you."

"Stop calling me that! I have name you know! It's Rika, R-I-K-A, Rika!"

"Shesh you don't have to yell so loud..."

"How can you put up with him?" she asked Aray.

Aray chuckled "He's not that bad. Once you get to know him."

"I've known him for six years and he's still as annoying as hell!"

"Wow that's a long time and he's still annoying? I'd get used to him by now." Aray replied amused.

By now everyone had shown up and wanted to meet this 'Aray' girl, Takato and Ashley were talking about.

"Finally, you guys take forever to get here!"

Aray waved at Takato and Ashley who were standing to each other. She walked up to the rest of the group and introduced her self to everyone else.

"Hi I'm Aray Makino."

Everyone did a double take, Kazu's mouth hung, "You look exactly liker her!" he exclaimed, pointing at Rika, then to Aray.

Henry stepped up, and introduced everyone else to her. "Hi Aray, I'm Henry. This is Jeri, Kazu, Kenta and Alice. You already know Takato and Ashley, and I take it you already met my sister Susie." He said genuinely pointing to reach person.

Aray wore a confused look for a moment, "Susie? Oh Susie you never told me you had a brother." And a cute one at that!

"Oops, yeah, guess I forgot." Susie said playing around with her pigtails.

"So are we going to the digital world? Or are we going to stand around here all day?" Kazu bluntly asked.

"Yeah we should get going." said Susie.

"Hold on, were going, today?" asked Aray

Takato pulled out his digivice, "Yep."

"Oh, I thought we were going next week or something." Aray said surprised.

"No, today, we usually go on weekend trips though, if you can't make it today…" trailed Kazu, eyeing her up and down.

Aray smiled uneasily, "No, no. We can do today."

"Really?" asked Katie, her one eyebrow arched high up her forehead.

"Really." Aray said confidently.

"Ok let's go then." Cried Kazu like a small excited child.

They all went to the portal, climbed through it and in no time were in the digital world. Everyone got re-acquainted with their Digimon.

The time with their Digimon flew past them when they realized it was getting late, the sun about to set into the horizon.

"It's almost eight?" Aray asked bluntly looking at her watch, "We've got to get home." she said looking at Katie, then taking a glance at Ryo, who nodded.

"Ok then we'll see you guys later then?" Takato asked.

"Of course!" Jeri answered smiling. "What part of Japan do you live in?"

"Well Ryo, Katie and I all live in a different part of town and the rest of you all live in Shinjuku? I'm right, right?" Aray answered.

Alice smiled brightly "Yeah that's right. Oh I have go now! See you guys later then?"

Everyone said their goodbyes, and small groups after small groups left.

-On the train home

Aray was drawing a picture of Rika; she was the only real face she could remember. Ryo leaned over her shoulder to see what she was doing.

"That's Rika right?" he asked.

"You really like Rika, don't you?" Katie asked out of boredom.

Ryo grinned, "No, now what makes you think that?"

"Hmm lets think, maybe it's the way you seem to steal a glace at her every time you get the chance to. Or maybe it's the cute little nicknames you give her?" Aray answered as she was finishing the rest of her face and starting on her hair.

Ryo leaned back into his seat, sticking his hands behind his head, "I might."

"You know you do, it's all in the way you look at her. It's always in the way you look at her. Its, well, its different." she analyzed, sketching Rika's spiky ponytail.

"Oh boy. Ray please don't play matchmaker. Ryo I wouldn't like to be you right now. You should try to make things less obvious." Katie giggled.

Aray laughed, "Relax I'm not going to do anything!"

By now she was done her sketch. Ryo was taken back as how much the picture looked like Rika. "Can I have that?" he asked.

Aray handed it to him. "Sure."

Katie smirked. "I think your new nickname should be 'Lover boy', it suites you well.

"That nickname's already taken." Ryo chimed rolling up the lined piece of paper.

Katie snorted, "By who?"

Ryo grinned, "Takato."

"Fine, I'm calling you 'Mr. Obvious'.

Ryo through her a wide smile. "Fine with me"

Aray laughed loudly, as Ryo and Katie gave her weird looks.

Katie raised an eyebrow, "It wasn't that funny."
