"When a year goes by, it is hard to Believe?" Chii says in her intuitive way.
Hideki tries to figure out how to explain as they leave the Dinner where Hideki ate. "Uhm. I guess it.. Well When I think of all the things that happened, I guess so."
Chii does her big eyed stare at him as if he just opened her eyes to a whole different world again and she says happily with a smile "Chi!"
Suddenly Hideki Stiffens up as a man holds onto his arm and says "Shhhh, Turn here." Chi Follows slightly behind the man and Hideki certain it's just another random thing that happens in every day life "This man knows Hideki"
Hideki answers "N uh Oh" his back arches more as the man says "No talking, Now strip and give me all your things." The man turns to Chii and lets her see the gun. "You too Sweet Heart"
"Hideki says Chii should hold onto Chii's money. To buy what Chii wants." Her large curious eyes look to Hideki and then at the man. She See's the look on Hideki's face and it is not Happiness.
The robber grins "And tell that Persacom to serve me and clear it's password"
Hideki says "Chii give him your money. This is more important." Chii nods and walks up to the man "Chii happy to do something Important for Hideki"
The robber says "I said to tell her to serve me and clear the password!" The man presses the Gun into his ribs so much so that Hideki can't stand the pain.
"AH!!" says Hideki with a look of agony on his face "I can't" As he glances towards Chii "She's got free will. She does what she wants."
Getting grumpy .o(This is taking too long, damn persacomp will be able to identify me!) now backs away from the two of them enough to aim his gun clearly "pall, this is not the time to play games. This is the last time I'll tell you. Or I'm shooting both of you." he waits a moment "So it's Both of you get shot, or you give me the computer!"
Hideki thinks a moment 'I can't give Chii up, not like this, Not to some THUG.' slowly he says "Chii I want you to do something very important for me. Can you do that?"
Chii answers him not sure she what he's about to ask her to do. She knows she wants to be with Hideki is he really going to give her away to the man with the rusted metal thing in his hand "Chii will do her best!" she says merrily
Hideki takes her hand and walks her towards the man his hand on her wrist as if to hand her hand over to the man "This man.." he says calmly, and then suddenly in a huge hurry as the man lowers his guard ever so slightly to accept chi's hand "Is your enemy!!"
Hideki Elbows the man in the face as he grabs his gun hand pushing it away as best he can. "RUN CHII! Run away and don't let this man catch you! We'll meet at Shimbo's!"
Chii runs and does not look back she was told to runaway and meet Hideki at Shimbo's.. 'Hideki seemed hurt and angry.' "Did Chii do something wrong"
"NO CHII!!" Hideki screams as he struggles "GET help scream for help and run, tell everyone where I am." he continues to struggle with his teeth clenched. The Robber finally shoots the gun which hit's Chii in the forehead and takes Hideki off guard "Chii!"
Having forgotten everything Hideki goes to run for Chii and the Robber Shoots Hideki with the revolver 3 more times. he runs over to Chii and is about to pull the trigger when policemen run down the Alleyway "Put down your weapon!"
Chii can't think "Ch,, Ch,, ch" her voice sounds distorted. Her forehead wound isn't vital, but it's shorted out her system. "Chiiii caaannn'ttt ru unnn uuuUUnn.." and she falls down face first onto the pavement "Chchchchii Sssorrryyyyy...

Suddenly Chii's eyes pop open as she says actually sounding panicked "Hideki!"
Shimbo says relieved having just arrived at the Police station "Chii your alright!" but as he realizes that he's going to have to explain this to Chii "Uhm, your at the police station and they called me to check out Hideki but he said they took you to the police station in order to put you with the evidence stuff! do you know what it took to get you out of that place!"
Chii doesn't seem to care about much if it doesn't have to do with Hideki "Chii is sorry to be trouble. Chii goto hospital to See Hideki?"
"Yeah yeah. Thats what Hideki wants too" he pats her on the shoulder but looks at her forehead "Did you boot up alright? why did you short out?"
Chii feels at her forehead now remembering the hot piece of metal that flew from the black metal object the robber was holding her eyes get wide and she desperately looks at Shimbo as if only he knows the answer "The hot metal. It hurt Hideki?"
Shimbo nods as he tries not to smirk in shock thinking 'Sometimes it's hard to believe your a machine. No software installed and your learning software couldn't have made you worry about Hideki, you really are unique you know that?' then he realizes Chii is waiting for an answer "Uhm. That answer awaits you at the hospital" he says as he motions an arm for her to go ahead of him" Chii quickly grabs his arm and runs dragging him along "Hideki told me to run to your place and get help!" a short pause later as if curiously wondering "Shimbo help Hideki?!"
Shimbo uh's as he's pulled along so fast "Sure, Sure."
In an alternate plane of existence
"Odd, did you hear me?" Aelita says as she knock on his headboard
Odd opens his eyes as it's only 6:30 and he really wanted that extra 2 hours of sleep he thought he was going to get "Uhhhh" as he pulls the pillow off of his head "When I said I'd help you with this today, I didn't think you'd be up before the sun."
Aelita giggles a little as she puts her hands behind her back "Yes but I couldn't sleep and Jeremy wakes up soon, sooo."
Odd looks up at Aelita "I get it." he sits up and stretches "So lets say that after the movie you convince him to go with you to the factory." he sighs bored, as if he's said this a million times before "I'll have candles and apple cider and lets of good food waiting for you two."
Aelita clears her throat as if she really shouldn't ask but is about too.
Quickly winking Odd says with a much more impressed smile "And the other part of the surprise will be ready for you." now he hopes out of bed and quirks his eyebrows playfully at Aelita "thats the most important part."
Aelita places a hand on Odd's shoulders hoping that he doesn't get too hyper yet "Your really a good friend odd. Thanks!" she walks out as Ulrich rubs his eyes just now pulling out his earplugs "Hey Ulrich" she says Cheerfully as she closes the door behind her.
Eying Odd curiously Ulrich says "Are you insane. it's only 6:30 in the morning."
Odd chuckles. "Well no one said you had to be up this early on a Sunday." he begins to get day clothes on "Anyways. I have stuff to do."
"Hmmm?" Ulrich smirks "You know.. If i didn't know any better I'd almost say that Aelita and you have been hanging out more than her and Jeremy lately."
Caught off guard Odd catches a foot in his pants and falls onto the floor "Uh, well You'll understand soon." he grins as he sits on the floor "Soon"
Putting his earplugs back in Ulrich lays down and rolls so he's facing the wall not seeming to humored by the start of the day "Hey, Lock the door on your way out will ya."
