First to say, if you find grammar errors, write them to me, so I can correct the typos.
Everyone else can hold and whine about them.
Have fun (I hope)

Rewrite on 1st August, 2012
Now with more 'make-a-bit-fun-of-Lan' as before ;)

Chapter 1 - The Cousin

"mhh..."

It's a beautiful Monday and it's lunch time, Lan's beloved time of the day. He, Maylu and his friend and cousin Steve are standing in front of his locker and talk to each other, while the latter tries desperately not to stare at her all the time.

"Come on, go and talk to her. Don't be so shy." Lan said.

"I do not ... I like the distance from the people I do not know .." Steve said quietly.

"You will not know until you try it," commented Maylu.

"What's up today for lunch?" he asked to change very inconspicuous and without any reason the topic

"Don't change the subject ... where are you going Lan?" she asked.

"Of course, the cafeteria," Lan cried on the way to said place. Maylu ran behind as she turned around again and asked, "Com'on, Lan will not wait forever for us."

"Lan never waits when it comes to food. But go forward as I want to go to the bathroom and then I come after"

Maylu rolled her eyes and followed Lan in the cafeteria.
While she walked away, he looked back at her again and was able to look directly into her beautiful, cobalt blue eyes. After seconds that went for an eternity, she looked away shyly and went her way. A deep sigh escaped him as he disappeared into the toilet.

In his eyes she was beautiful. She was not really rich, popular or famous for anything. He has only just fallen in love.

About 6 weeks ago, 2 weeks after Steve moved to the school, he walked down the corridor with Lan and talked to him.

"I still feel a little uncomfortable here" he complained. "I know up to now still nobody besides you and Maylu"

"Oh, this too will pass" Lan tried to cheer.

As they went around the corner, Steve bumped into her when she was about to go around the corner herself. They collieded head on and landed on the ground, holding their forehead.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to" Steve apologized as he helped her up.

"No, my mistake, I should have been more careful"

The obligatory books lie on the floor and it comes as it comes: both want to pick up the same book at the same time and stare face to face deeply into the other one. Lan, soulful as ever, gives a short hem of himself and the two realize the situation. Quick as a flash ascended both and tried now to avoid eye contact.

"Your book," he handed her the book.

"Thank you" she replied quietly without eye contact. "Until then," she added before she left.

"Until then" he replied.

When she was out of sight, Lan pushed him with the elbow decent in the side.

"See, what I said. It will be fine." He was coy on his own.

"What do you mean?" Steve threw back, still slightly red.

"You know what I mean."

"After everything I've heard you've got experience," Steve replied, not without a smile, leaving Lan standing on the corner.

"Hey," he called back slightly affected. He took a few moments until he realized. "Hey" he cried again when he caught up.

Later, after school, all three go together like home every day. Steve lives with the Hikari, because his parents are on a world tour.
He is about as big as Lan, usually wears three-quarter-lenght jeans with a lemon-yellow shirt and a brown jacket usually tied around the waist. His hair color is a darker brown than LAN's and he has blue-green eyes.

"Mom, we're home," Lan screams into the house.

No one responds.

"Maybe she's shopping. We go up" Steve said.

In Lan's room Steve calls his Netnavi, Eleman.

"Hello Eleman. Any news?"
"No, not really much. Come in, I'll show you"

Steve reached in his pocket and pulled a strange chip out.
"What's this chip about? I haven't seen it anywhere" Maylu asks.

"You'll see" Lan replied as Steve takes his Progress PET in the hand, inserts the chip and starts to glow. Moments later he emerges in his digital appearance, officially called Mentman, but those who know him in his human form still call him Steve. Maylu looks a proper Charlie and doesn't know what to say, and still more when he suddenly disappears into Lan's PC.
A comparison of Megaman and Steve / Eleman shows similarities, because all have the same Creator. The most obvious difference is the badge. It has a white Y in the center which divides it into three sections and each section represents one of the elements that they own. Steve has water, earth / stone and fire, and Eleman has air, wood and energy. Another difference is the color of the armor and bodysuits that are not blue, but from green to yellow for Steve and a mixture of yellow and orange for Eleman.

"..Again, whats that for a Chip?"
"I will explain you..."

Note on Flashback
There falls always something down when two people collide together and at least on one side exists the wish to come closer (or should occur on purpose)

The next few days the rewrite of the second and third chapter will follow. But I have to say: Now I'm happy with the state of the language. The ones that don't know the first version: You don't wanna know it...
