Hey everybody, Blackace70 here with another Megaman Starforce fanfic. I know, I know you guys are probably angry and thinking: 'What the hell Ace, another story?!' or 'What about your other Megaman story?' Rest assured I'm getting to them. It's not easy being a writer what with me being in college; I don't really have a lot of free time as I would like. And when I do get time, I can never think of any Ideas to write.
Anyways this story, honestly I've had this story on my mind for a few years now but I've never figured out how to go about and writing it. It's going to be a crossover story, but nothing to out of proportion. At least, I don't think it will be. I'm feeling pretty good about this story and hopefully you guys will like it, just like you like MegaGirl Starforce. Which by the way, I'm working on the chapter.
With that said, let's get this show on the road.
Disclaimer: I do not own Megaman Starforce or any of its characters. Just the OCs that may appear in this story.

"Thank you so much you guys! I hoped you loved the performance, I can't wait to see you guys again!"
Smiling warmly at the loud cheers from the audience, Sonia walked off the stage and headed towards her dressing room.
'Another successful show, I love it when my fans go wild.'
My name is Sonia Strumm; I'm just a simple 15 year old girl who became a popular sensation thanks to the love and dedication of those around me. I'm not the type of girl who likes to bask in the fame and popularity, to be honest I'm actually a down to earth type of girl.
But even so, I'm not without my secrets. I'm just like any other human. Though, with my secret…
You could say they transcend beyond those you will ever meet.

Chapter 1: Enter the Pop Star: Sonia Strumm
-X-
"Thanks guys, really, I'm so happy that you enjoyed the show."
That was my last statement I shut the door to my dressing room. Taking off my guitar and leaning it against the wall, I let out a deep sigh before I turned around and leaned against it. Huh? Oh sorry, I didn't catch you guys there. I'm a bit breathless from earlier tonight, so I need a bit of a breather.
My name's Sonia, and if you read the little summary about me above. Then you know what to expect about me.
I just finished an hour long concert, and while I'm happy that it went great, I am glad that it's over. If there's one thing you need to know about me, is that music is my passion. I absolutely love it, from when I first started practicing and singing it with mom
"But still…" "It's always worth it, to see the excited looks on my fans faces."
"You wouldn't go all out if it was otherwise, ne Sonia-chan?"
The teenage pop-singer's exhausted expression melted into joyful one as she turned around to the disembodied voice behind her. Sitting on a pink couch waving at her, was a 12 year old boy who had sapphire blue colored eyes and chocolate brown hair that was pulled into a short spiky ponytail and had a side bang covering the corner of his left eye. He wore a dark blue short-sleeve shirt, black cargo shorts, and his signature red boots.
"GEO!" Sonia cheered as she launched from the chair to the couch the 12 year old was occupying. Before the kid could react, he suddenly found himself in a deep bear hug "You're finally here!"
The young boy gave sound 'He he' before responding "Yeah, sorry I couldn't get here earlier. I had a check-up with Boreal-San at AMAKEN; but I managed to make for the last performance. You were amazing out there, Sonia."
I tuned out Geo halfway during his explanation, and focused more on hugging him to death. If there was one other thing that I loved just as much as music, it was Geo. Oh, I forgot to introduce you guys, the boy that I'm hugging with all my might is Geovanni Hoshikawa, though he prefers to be called Geo. He's my childhood friend and possibly the best, if not closest friend I could ever have. Me and Geo have stayed at each other sides growing up and did pretty much everything together. We're so close, there's not one thing about us that the other doesn't know; you could say we're inseparable.
"Sonia…" A strained voice cut into her thoughts "Let…go…"
"Eh?" The pop singer looked down to see a slowly turning blue faced Geo with a strained smile of his face as he slowly tapped the teenage girl on her arms
"You're crushing…me"
Sonia's eye widened to the size of dinner plates as she quickly let go of the adolescent boy "Oh Gods Geo, I'm so sorry!"
Geo, who was finally allowed oxygen again, gave a weak wave of dismissal "Its fine" he wheezed out slightly "I'm used to your herculean strength bears hugs."
That earned a deep blush of embarrassment from the fuchsia-haired girl while she rubbed her hand against Geo's back. A few more moments passed before Geo was able to regain control of his breathing. With one final inhale, he turned to Sonia, any signs of him being slowly crushed to death by the hug gone from his face.
"So how was your day, Sonia?"
"My day was okay, better now that you're here"
Geo smiled before he hit his palm in realization "Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Turning around behind him, Geo pulled out a square box wrapped around in a pink cloth "Okaa-san made cookies the other day. She figured you would like some."
Sonia's eyes lit up in excitement "Mrs. H's cookies?!" she made a motion for the cookies, only for them to pulled out of Sonia's reach. The teen was shocked at the sudden gesture, and looked down at the younger boy in confusion
Geo smiled meekly/apologetically towards the teen as he put the box of cookies inside a round shaped black and blue bag that he carried on his belt "I don't want you to eat them." Before the singer could voice her questions, Geo cut her off suddenly "At least, not until we get 'there'."
Sonia's confusion slowly melted into curiosity "There?"
"There's a place I found a while back that I've been meaning to show you." Geo explained getting up from the couch "And if we hurry, there's something amazing we can see."
Sonia smiled as she watched Geo get excited with every passing moment as he talked about this secret location. One of the things she liked about Geo was that whenever a subject that he liked to talk about or there was something that would peak his interest. He would turn into a ball of sunshine, filled with excitement; no matter how sad or depressed he could get. Talking about the things he loved, would always put a smile on his face. And to Sonia, Geo's bright smile was one of the best things to see in her life.
"Well then, we'd better get going." Sonia stated getting up from the couch, walking to her guitar and strapping it on "So how are we getting to this little spot of yours?"
"Well, since we're running a bit behind. I figure the fastest way for us to get there, is if I fly us there."
Sonia looked back at Geo; a single brow rose "Fly?"
Geo nodded as if his answer was completely normal "Yeah, fly"
There was a brief moment of silence, before Sonia nodded her head "Well okay then."
Now I know what you must be thinking: Did I hear that correctly? And the answer is, yes, you did. Now you're probably thinking: That's impossible, no human can fly. And technically, you would be right, no living human can fly. But in this case… Geo's a bit of an exception. This is all due to an incident that happened 6 years ago, when Geo and I went to go visit a family friend of his. I won't go into the details of what happened back then right now. Just know that when we left the place we were visiting…
An azure blue light ring appeared around Geo, splitting apart with one half going up, the other going down. Once the process was over, it revealed a transparent but visible Geo surrounded by dark blue dim aura, starting to float up off the ground.
He left with a few… 'Abilities'
Sonia walked up to Geo, who had his arm outstretched towards her. The 15-year old graciously took it, and instantly her body started to become transparent as well. But instead of having a dark blue aura, hers was pink.
"Ready to go?"
Sonia gave a short 'Mh-hm' nod before letting out an uncharacteristic surprise squeak as she found herself being picked up, bridal style.
"Alright then, let's go!"
There was a brief flash of light and with that; the pair was gone from the room.
-X-
"Aw, come on!"
"No"
"Pleeease?"
"Uh uh"
"Not even a hint?"
"Nope"
Sonia just huffed as she folded her arms in frustration. The two had been flying over all of Echo Ridge for a while now and Sonia had been trying (and failing) to get Geo to spill as to where they were going. She had been racking her brain, trying to guess the place. But she only came up with blanks, and the secret was killing her. It also didn't help in her case that Geo ordered that she was to keep her eyes close for the duration of the flight as to help keep the whole thing as secret.
"Come on Geo; at least tell me how much farther we have to go. We've been flying for like… for like half an hour!"
"One, it's been barely ten minutes since we started out. And two, we're almost there."
Despite her eyes being close, Geo could still feel the glare emitting from her "That's what you said last time!"
Geo let out an exasperated sigh "You'd think I'd learned by now that patience is not one of your strongest qualities."
Sonia pouted, obviously not willing to justify that with a response. She realized, if albeit reluctantly, that at this point, she was not going to get anything out of Geo. And figured her best option was to wait and see when they got there. Now, she did contemplate on taking a peek as to where they were going, but she knew that it would be pointless. The last time she tried to sneak a peek, she had been caught by Geo; and that prompt to stop on a dime, refusing to go anywhere until she closed her eyes. She had a feeling that if she pulled that stunt again, it would just end with the same results.
The pair once again flew in silence until…
"We're here!"
"Eh?"
Sonia's head snapped up hearing Geo's excited voice. Before the girl could say anything, she suddenly felt them going down; signifying that they were landing. Upon touching the ground, Geo set Sonia down on her feet. The pop star was about to open her eyes when Geo stopped her.
"Uh uh, you can't open your eyes yet, Sonia." Hearing the girl groan in protest, he persuaded with her "I know you're sick and tired, but trust me it'll be worth it when we get there. Please it's just for a little bit longer, I promise."
Sonia was quiet for a minute before she sighed in acceptance. Whatever Geo wanted to show her, it must be pretty amazing. She felt herself being pulled by Geo, and after a minute or two of walking, she found that they stopped.
"Okay, open your eyes."
Complying, Sonia slowly opened her eyes; and upon doing so, she found herself unable to hold back her gasp. She and Geo were standing on the beachside, but the scene before her, was something straight out of a movie. From the soft feeling white sand, to the crystal clear blue ocean, as well as the tropical palm trees that surrounded them and the path that they took to get here. Suffice to say, the scene before her was…
"Beautiful..." Sonia whispered as she slowly walked towards the beach "There's no other words to describe it; just… beautiful."
"I knew you'd like it." Geo said walking up next to her "It is amazing, but that's not the real reason we're here."
Sonia snapped out of her trance to hear what her younger friend said "It's not?"
Geo smiled, shaking his head "Nope" he pointed straight ahead "THAT'S the main reason I brought you here."
Sonia looked towards what Geo was pointing at and mouth 'Wow' at the scene in front of her. It was a sunset, in all its magnificent beauty. The presence of the sunset seemed to make everything in the area more radiant than it already was. The sunset made the ocean water sparkled like a bunch of newly polished diamonds; accompanying the water, the white sand bathed in the sunset's glow took on a soft golden tan color. Now she knows why Geo had wanted her to keep her eyes closed; he was right, this WAS worth it.
-Sonia's P.O.V-
After taking in scenery, Geo and I walked further into the beach. We decided to walk barefoot on the sand; somehow it just felt like something you would do in a place like this. I have to say, I never thought sand could feel this soft in my life; my foot just seemed to sink in with every step I took. We walked to the shore where the calm waves of water hit us to the ankles of our feet. Maybe it was because we were at the shoreline, but I suddenly found myself reaching out towards the sun. As if I thought that, if I tried hard enough, I could have the sun in my hands.
Out from the corner of my eye I noticed Geo; he had his arms folded behind his head, his eyes half opened, having a calm look on his face. It was probably the sunset rays, but Geo just seemed to glow with radiance that just complimented the content look on his face. This, along with his smile is what I just loved about Geo. Yes, love… I, Sonia Strumm, have a major crush on Geovanni Hoshikawa. And you know what, I'm proud to admit that. I mean, what's not to like? His cute innocent appearance, his quiet, bashful personality; his ability to brighten anyone day with hardly any effort. Honestly, I could give you a list of things that I liked about Geo. But those are the major things that I could point out about him, that I know for a fact will never change.
Geo doesn't know about my feelings for him and I could never bring myself to tell him. But that's fine, even if I can never admit my crush for him; as long I can stand by him, that's all I could ever want.
Speaking of standing, I decided to follow Geo's example and let myself but taken in by the ambiance around me. I spread my arms back as I closed my eyes, just allowing the sounds of the ocean waves fill my ears.
This moment was absolutely perfect, nothing could possibly ruin it.
*SPLASH*
Except that…
"Hiiii, what the…?!"
I quickly gripped my exposed leg, hoping to warm it from the coldness of the water that was splashed upon it. I looked around to find the source that had splashed me; only to find Geo looking at me, with a slightly mischievous look on his face. I was wondering why he had that look on his face, before it clicked into my head.
That... Little…
Seeing him smirk, he quickly bent down and cupped some more cold water. Knowing full well what he was intending to do, I retaliated by mimicking his movements as well. Like hell he was going to get me again.
After our little splash fight, emphasis on little (we WERE still in our regular clothes). We retired to sitting on the beach away from the water. It was here we decided to crack open the box of cookies, which surprisingly did not break or crumble in Geo's bag. They were fairly big and enough for the both of us; while Geo was a bit more calm in eating the snack, I already had inhaled 5 of them. Hey, I like sweets, sue me. We were sitting in silence as we watched the sun slowly set into the background.
"Today was a great day, and this was just the icing on the cake, thanks Geo." I said happily looking down at him
Geo nodded as he rested his head on my lap "No problem, I'm glad that you love it."
He looked up back at me "When I saw this place for the first time, I instantly thought about you."
That statement caused my cheeks to heat up a little bit, he thought of me when he found this spot?
"Really?"
Geo nodded his head again, a bit more lively this time "Mh-hm, I know you have a love for beautiful scenery. So when I saw this place, I automatically knew that you were going to love it."
Okay, if I wasn't blushing before, I'm pretty sure I was now. But even so, I couldn't help but smile at the thoughtful act. Leave it to Geo to always think about others before himself; the sun had finally set but we didn't notice. I was too busy finding myself lost in Geo's blue eyes just as how he was staring back into my green eyes. I don't know how long we've been staring at each other, but I soon started to forget about the world around us.
Then suddenly out of nowhere, I started slowly caressing Geo's hair while I brought him closer to me. I wasn't sure what I was doing or why I was even doing it. But somewhere in my mind, it was just screaming at me: 'This is your chance! Go for it! Do it now!'
I started leaning forward towards Geo, my eyes filled with tender love. This was it; after knowing him for 7 years, I was finally going to do it. I don't care about what I said before; this was probably the only time I could be with him like this without something or someone interfering. If I don't do this now, I don't know when I'll get another chance. As I got closer to him, Geo's eyes widened slightly.
"Sonia…?" I silenced him with my finger, don't talk Geo. Please, just let this happen.
He seemed to understand my silent plea as he nodded and closed his eyes. I could feel my heart racing being a few inches from his face. Just a bit closer, a little more and…
*BEEP* *BEEP*
Whuh…?
-Normal P.O.V-
Sonia and Geo both jolted out of their trance due to the loud beep that was going off.
"W-What's that sound?" ask the still shocked Sonia
Geo sat up and opened up his transer "I-It's my alarm" he replied shutting the setting off "It…was just letting me know that it was past 8."
"Oh…"
Sonia just felt like screaming; here she was, having finally gathered up enough courage to reveal her feelings to Geo. And now, her tender moment was ruined, all thanks to that stupid alarm clock. After the alarm feature was shut off, Geo looked back at Sonia. There was an awkward silence between the two of them, before Geo tried to speak up.
"Sonia, I…"
"Let's get going…" Sonia interrupt, putting on her boots and standing up. All the while not sparing a single glance towards Geo "It's… getting late."
Geo didn't respond, but merely followed suit right after his childhood friend.
The awkward quietness managed to follow them as they walked to a nearby bus stop. Geo offered to fly Sonia home, but the singer declined, for reasons she would not share. So the two was here standing at the bus stop, silently waiting for Sonia's bus that would take her home. While the two waited, both of them would often sneak glances at each other. Whether the two saw what the other was doing but decided against calling him/her out on it, they didn't know. It was a good five minutes before Geo decided to break the silence.
"What a day we had today, huh?" Geo asked a bit weakly, unsure of what else to say
Sonia, who had been deep in thought, snapped at attention "Huh, what? Oh… yeah it was."
Just as it quickly started, the conversation immediately died. It was a few more minutes before a bus had finally arrived, much to the gratefulness of the two kids. As the bus pulled into the stop, Sonia gave on last look to Geo
"I guess I'll see you later?"
Geo shuffled his foot and looked at Sonia before staring at the ground "Yeah, sure."
Sonia gave a small smile and was about to climb into the bus when…
"Sonia, WAIT!"
Stopping on a dime, the teenage girl looked back at her friend; a look of confusion adorned on her face. Geo was sporting a deep blush on his face, while unconsciously rubbing his hands.
"Sonia, I… well, uh…are you…?"
Sonia fully stepped out of the bus and faced Geo, her confusion growing even larger. She cocked her head to the side "Yes…?"
Geo gave a silent gulp 'Just say it already!' "I… Are you free this coming Saturday?" he said rather quickly while maintaining his bright red features.
Sonia blinked, having completely forgotten the now pulling off bus. This sudden question was random, why did he want to know that? Nonetheless, she replied "Yes, why?"
The blush on his face still bright, Geo poked his fingers "Oh, well I was wondering… since you're not doing anything tomorrow. Would you like… to go with me to Neo Castillo, tomorrow?"
Sonia was a bit slow in registering on what Geo had asked her. And when it finally clicked, it was rewarded with a bright red Sonia 'W-Why is he asking me to come to Castillo with him. . . Wait, don't tell me…?'
"Are you, asking me on a date?" She whispered, though, if could listen in closely. You could hear a faint underlying tone of hope mixed in there
Hearing that question caused Geo to heat up and find a sudden new interest within the ground. And that, was all the answer Sonia needed as she threw herself at him, wrapping him in a bone-crushing hug.
"Yes, I'd love to go to Castillo with you!"
Despite being crushed, Geo let out a huge, but strained, smile.
-X-
Sonia and Geo were touching down on Sonia's front lawn of her house. After Sonia had missed the apparently last bus for the next hour. Geo once again offered to fly her home. To which this time, she graciously accepted. Just as Sonia turned to open the door, she looked back at Geo.
"So what time do you want to meet up on Saturday?" She called out
Geo scratched his head bashfully "I don't know, maybe 1:00?"
Sonia smiled "I o'clock it is then." She waved bye to her friend "Later Geo!"
Geo waved back before disappearing in a flash of light. Seeing her friend fly off into the night, Sonia entered her house and quietly closed the door behind her. She kicked off her boots and set her guitar to the side before lying down on the couch.
"*Sigh* Home sweet home." She breathed, as she lied sprawled out on the couch. Her attention was caught by a picture frame sitting on a mantle. With a small smile, she got up from the couch and made her way to the picture.
Inside the picture frame was a photo a woman in her mid-20s with dark purple hair and green eyes, smiling at the camera while holding up a young 8 year old, Sonia Strumm. With a sad, longing smile, Sonia brought her hands behind her back.
"It's been a while, mom. Sorry I haven't spoken to you in a while, I've been so busy making people smile with my music. I guess I've just let the time get away from me."
Sonia gave a brief pause, as if expecting the picture to respond to her. A few seconds passed before she started up again "I met Geo today; he was able to keep his promise and see one of my concert. Even though it was only the last show. He's doing well, despite his conditions, and so is his mom from what he told me. We hung out tonight; he showed a spot on the beach that was absolutely beautiful. It was a surprise of his, and trust me when I say; I had my breath taken away."
It was probably the evening light from outside shining into her house and onto the picture frame. But it was as if the photo seemed glow a bit at how happy Sonia seemed to be. The pop-star didn't seem to notice this little phenomenon, or if she did, she didn't say anything. She scratched her cheek as she continued on
"Guess what, mom? I'm finally got a date with Geo! Technically, he asked me out, but I still have a date with him regardless." She poked her fingers meekly "Even though it's two days away and we're just going to an amusement park. I'm still pretty nervous about how it's gonna go."
She unconsciously started rubbing her arms "Will the date go smoothly, or will it hit a snag? Will I be a good date? Or am I gonna make a fool out of myself so badly that he won't want to date me again?" Sonia brought a hand to her head as she hunched over slightly "Oh Gods, I hope that doesn't happen!"
During her frantic rambling, more light shone into the living, causing the picture to glow even brighter. Sonia stopped suddenly to look at the photo; she stared at it for a few moments before calming down.
"You're right; I should just go and have fun, thanks mom."
Seemingly finished with her talk, Sonia found herself staring at feet for a minute. Silence filled the whole room until she spoke up quietly "I'm going to tell him…"
Sonia stared back at the picture, a surprising look of serious adorning her face "I'm going to tell him my secret."
Sonia was feeling herself tensed as she said that, she squeezed her arm in an attempt to calm herself down "It's been seven years since I've known Geo. And we've shared all kinds of secrets with each other, except for one. The one I've kept guarded from everyone except you all these years."
She looked at her hand "This coming Saturday, at the end of our date. I'm going to reveal everything to him, that I'm not actually human. And that in actuality…"
Course of blue lightning started to spark lively around Sonia's arm
"I'm a Goddess."
End of Chapter
And the first chapter is done, I feel pretty good with how it came out. A quick thing to note; more or less, this story is going to be focused a bit more on Sonia than it will be Geo. At least for a few chapters, I'm going to try to keep the attention balanced between the both of them. I don't know how this story's going to go, I'm pretty much writing as I go. All I know is that it's going to be an interesting ride.
As usual, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please be kind enough to leave a review and check out my other works.
See you next time ^_^
