The next morning, Rika, Renamon and Jeri got up early so they wouldn't miss their school bus.
"Renamon, honey... I've ironed your school uniform yesterday. Are you sure you don't want to wear it today?"
"Mother, I already told you," the yellow-furred vixen sighed in annoyance. "The clothes make me sweat, they make my fur itch and I think they look ridiculous. Besides, school regulations say that Digimon students do not necessarily have to wear the uniform, do to their mostly... unusual body structure."
"But... but I just thought, only this once..."
Renamon sighed again. "Mother..."
She looked at her mother's face with the pleading eyes and the quivering lip. She groaned. "I won't wear it."
"But... but you look sooo pretty in a skirt. Why won't you use some clothing, only every once in a while? They really show off the color of your fur, you know?"
Rika tried very hard not to laugh. She recalled when her mother had very often tried to get her into clothes she didn't like. It was somewhat amusing to see that she couldn't even make Renamon wear any clothing at all.
"I believe we should go," she finally said to free her sister. "The bus isn't waiting."
"Oh, alright... but I'll put it away so you can wear it another time, okay?"
"Thank you, Rika!" Renamonsaid with relief as they left the house. "I thought she'd never give up."
"Not until she has you parading around in front of a camera, wearing a frilly dress and a pretty bow in your fur," Rika giggled.
Renamon groaned. She did NOT need that image.
In the bus, she glanced over to Jeri, who was walking around in the fur for today. "How do you stand walking around with those clothes over your fur?" she asked.
Cubmon shrugged. "I'm just used to them, I think. And my fur is not as thick as yours, so I'm not too warm underneath."
When they arrived the bus stop near Jeri's school, she got up and left. "See you after school, in the park! Bye!"
When they got out at their own school, Harmony and Terriermon were already waiting for them... as was Yui.
"HI, RENAMON!" she shouted. "Say, your fur looks so nice today! Did you use some special conditioner?"
'Oh no!' Renamon thought. 'I managed to flee from one terror to run into the next one... Can't she spare me for one day?'
"Renamon, that bag looks sooo heavy, let me carry it for you!"
Renamon looked back over her shoulder as Yui dragged her away to class.
Rika couldn't stop herself: She gave her sister a smug grin, waved and said: "Have fun!"
Harmony giggled. "You are mean, you know that?"
Rika shrugged. "Maybe. But she should be glad. I wish I had as much friends back when I started school."
"You had me, didn't you?" Harmony smiled.
"Yeah... I guess so." 'Even though I don't remember it...' she mentally added.
She looked at Harmony's furry form. "Is there a furry convention in town or why do you all wear your Digimon form today?"
"I don't know about you, but I just like it," Dachsmon grinned. "And it has it's benefits... Just try petting your own fur sometime... it feels really neat."
The bell rang.
"Um, shouldn't we go to class?" Rika asked.
"Sure," Harmony nodded. She turned around and winked at Terriermon. "Say, wouldn't you want to carry my own bag for me?"
"S-sure, no problem!" the love-struck puppy uttered and took his partner's bag.
Rika frowned. "Is he your caddy now?"
The dog-girl giggled. "Rika, you just have to learn how to deal with boys... If you do it right, they'll practically do anything for you."
Rika shivered. Sometimes she had trouble recognizing Henry within that shrewd girl he had become... or rather, always had been, in this reality. Henry had always been a shy and quiet boy, and now Harmony was flirting with her own Digimon partner...
She was hoping that it was merely one of the many changes made by the game, and not a deliberate change made by Kai...
