Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. And it takes place during the week when they backed off from the D-reaper.

Rika and her mother were walking home from a play they had just watched.

"Wasn't that a great play?" Mrs. Nonaka asked Rika.

"Yeah." Rika said, then she started thinking. "I can't believe we can't fight the D-reaper. It destroying the city and Jeri's in there." Then three thugs stepped in their way. They were dressed in black and had masks on, they were carrying guns too. Both Rika and her mother were scared by them.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Nonaka asked.

"Let's just say we rule this part of town." The first guy said.

"Hey, isn't that Rumiko Nonaka, the famous model." Another guy said.

"Yeah, and this must be her daughter, the Digimon queen." The third one said.

"You're right." The first one said, then he grabbed Rika and held his gun at her head.

"Rika!" her mother called out. Rika wanted to fight back, but she was paralyzed with fear, worrying that she'll be shot if she tried to fight back. Her mother was frozen in fear too. Then she reached into her purse and pulled out some money and some of her jewels and held them out.

"Please, take these. Just leave her alone." She said as tears of fear rolled down her cheeks. The other two thugs took the money and jewels she had and the first one dropped Rika, after that, they ran with their loot. Rika ran over to her mother and stayed close to Mrs. Nonaka as they walked home. Then Rika and her mother made it home and both were relieved, Rika's grandmother and Renamon were waiting for them.

"So, how was it?" Rika's Grandmother asked them.

"Oh mother it was terrible." Mrs. Nonaka said. "We were attacked by these three thugs and they threatened Rika. I bet she's scared out of her wits."

"I'm fine mother." Rika said. "I faced evil Digimon and wasn't scared at all."

"I know you are lying Rika." Renamon said to herself.

A few days had gone by and then Rika received a call from Takato. He said that the D-reaper was attacking and they believed they could stop it, and all the other Tamers will be there. But he also said that it was by the theater where she ran into the thugs. Rika was nervous about going back there. She was afraid of what the thugs would do to her if they found her again. But she knew it was her duty and wasn't going to let anything stand in her way, especially not fear. She and Renamon ran and made it to the area where the D-reaper was attacking. She Digivolved Renamon to Kyubiimon and Kyubiimon was ready to attack. Her Digimon took off while Rika stayed around the ally, hoping that they wouldn't notice her.

"Fox Tail Inferno." Kyubiimon said as she blasted some D-Reaper bubbles away. Rika continued to watch Kyubiimon fight, until she felt a hand grab her shoulder. She turned around and saw the same three guys that had attacked her earlier. She stood, frozen in fear.

"Lookie here." One guy said. "The Digimon queen is back."

"Yeah." Another said. "Why don't we have some more fun?" Rika became very nervous after that. One thug grabbed her and searched for money, but all he found was her D-Power and her cards.

"Leave me alone you creeps!" Rika shouted.

"Shut up!" The other two thugs said as they stuck their guns to her head. Rika's heart beat rapidly as her fear grew. Then tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Please go away!" She cried.

"Oooo, the Digimon queen is scared." One taunted.

"What a baby." Another taunted. Rika's pride was took a real blow after those words.

"Didn't your mother tell you not to pick on little girls?" A familiar voice said. The thugs turned around and saw Terriermon with Henry. All three of them started laughing out loud.

"What's a little boy and his bunny rabbit going to do to us?" The one holding Rika taunted.

"Why don't we teach them a lesson?" One of the gun wielding thugs said as he turned his gun toward them.

"Terrier Tornado!" Terriermon said as he spun around and shot a little tornado at the thugs and knocked the guns out of their hands.

"I don't need a gun to take you out." One of the thugs said as he charged toward Henry. Henry ducked to dodge his fist and delivered a low kick to the guy. The thug tripped and landed in the trash. The other guy charged too and Henry punched him right in the stomach and knocked him to the ground. The final guy picked up his gun and held it to Rika's head.

"Stay back." He said. "Or the girl gets it." Both Henry and Terriermon froze, tears and sweat rolled down Rika's face. All of them were nervous and hoping the guy wouldn't shoot.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A voice said. The guy turned around and saw Renamon standing right behind him. She punched him right in the face and he dropped Rika. And for a final act, Renamon kicked him into the trash with the other thug. Henry called the police once Rika was freed and the cops came and arrested the thugs that attacked Rika. After that, Rika turned to Henry and the Digimon.

"Thanks for saving me." She said.

"Think nothing of it." Henry said. He noticed a sense of disturbance in her eyes too. "What's wrong?"

"I-I just feel pathetic, crying and acting like a wimp while you guys rescued me. I'm a Tamer and that's not the way for one to act."

"It's ok to be scared. Nobody thinks you're pathetic."

"Besides, I still think you're a bad chick." Terriermon said.

"Thanks." Rika said as she kissed Henry.

The End.
