Friendly Ties

Hi everybody! It's the bro. of Banbie Bunny back with a new story! This story is more or less based on Lan and Mayl. Megaman and Roll don't make that much of an appearance. But I think you'll like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lan or Mayl, Dex, Yai, Megaman, Roll, or Ms. Mari.

This might be something of a root to another story. But then again, it might not! So don't get your hopes up too high!

"Lan! It's time to wake up!" Lan groaned and rolled over in his sleep. "Come on Lan!" Megaman yelled again. Lan opened one eye and saw Megaman in his PET. "Alright, I'm awake." he said sleepily and he got up. He looked at his clock "Hey, wait a minute..." he said rubbing his eyes "This isn't when I wake up!" Megaman smiled "It's when your supposed to get up, not when you usually want to get up."

Lan nodded and got dressed "I know your right." he said "Well, at least I'll be on time." He smiled when he thought of waiting for Mayl and telling her she was late. It had always been him to be late. Every morning when he left for school, Mayl always was waiting for him and would give him a lecture. "Well, it'll be different this time!" he thought.

He grabbed Megaman and went downstairs. He saw his Mom walking around with squinted eyes. "Hi Mom!" he said cheerily. Mom jumped at the sound of his voice. She was still in her pajamas and was walking around blindly. "Lan... your not up this early, are you?" she asked in a sleepy tone. "Could you show me to the coffee maker dear?" Lan looked at her oddly "It's there on the counter, can't you see?" he asked. "Not till I've had my coffee... I can't do a thing till I've had my coffee." He led her to the counter and go out a cup.

He picked up the pot, but it was hot so he dropped it. "Hurry Lan..." said his Mom "I'm going as fast as I can!" said Lan and went to get a pot-holder. He put the pot-holder on the coffee handle and poured his Mom a cup. She took it and drank the entire thing in one big gulp. An amazing transformation wafted over her. Her eyes were opened, she got up and walked about the kitchen busily getting breakfast ready, her hair even looked better.

"Thanks dear, I'll get breakfast ready." she said and was instantly a working machine. Lan shook his head in amazement. "A little coffee goes a long way!" remarked Megaman. "Won't it be great!" said Megaman "We'll be waiting for Mayl if we hurry!" Lan scoffed down some toast "Mmm.. good." he mumbled "What did you say Mega? Oh yeah, it will." Then a beeping noise sounded.

"Someone's trying to access your homepage Lan!" said Megaman, he got his buster ready and aimed it at the entry portal. Then Roll stepped through "You may be right Megaman." said Roll. Then she backed away "Is something wrong Mega?" she asked when she saw his buster. Megaman, who finally realized it was just Roll put his buster away looking rather ashamed.

"Sorry Roll, I didn't know." Lan saw this and remarked "After all, why would you ever lift a finger against Roll?" Megaman looked heatedly up at him. Lan quickly turned around and scarfed some corn flakes. Megaman looked at Roll "Why are you here Roll?" he asked "And what did you mean, we might be right?"

Roll sighed and looked rather worried "She can't go to school today, that's all I know." Lan groaned. He had hoped to suprise Mayl this morning, but it didn't work out. "Well that's too bad. Can you give her a message?" Roll nodded "Yes, but I don't know when she'll read it." she seemed to get more nervous. "She hasn't spoken to me all morning." Lan looked concerned "Is something wrong, is she sick?" "I don't know!" Roll burst out finally losing control and crying slightly. Megaman was a little suprised, he didn't know she was that close to Mayl.

"Aawww..." said Megaman "Don't cry, it can't be as bad as all that." She nodded and recomposed herself "Well... sniff..I should control myself. See you later Megaman, Lan." "See ya!" said Megaman and Lan. Lan finally finished his breakfast and picked up his PET. "Let's go Megaman!"

He walked out the door and started his usual walk to school. "How strange..." he thought "Everything seems strangely quiet." it was odd. Whenever Mayl walked with him to school, there was always something to listen to. He remembered one time when he asked "Why do we always have to walk to school?" Mayl had answered with "We always have so much to talk about!"

Lan knew now. She always had something to talk about. No wonder why it was so quiet, she must have talked a lot, not that he ever noticed. He got to the school gates and walked through along with a lot of other kids. He didn't know any of them, partly because they were in different class rooms, and also because nobody ever saw him there at that time.

He made his way to the class room and found that he arrived on time for once. Dex saw him and looked suprised. "Hey little doofus!" he said. Lan took that as a greeting, not an insult. He was known to Dex as that and knew no hurt was intended.

"What are you doing here?" Dex was a black kid. He was suprisingly tall considering how fat he was. He was sometimes a jerk and didn't seem to hold that much intelligence either, but he was O.K. he was Lan's trusty side-kick.

"This happens to be my classroom," said Lan. He couldn't help feeling a little smug. "Hey, ya wanna net battle?" asked Dex. Then the bell sounded and the rest of the class filed in. "Rats." he said "Maybe later." said Lan.
