Hey All! It's Ghost501, but I guess you already knew that if you looked up in the author's box...heh. Anyway, I am officially kicking off the MegaMan Series. It's official name will be released at the end of the fic. Special thanks to Netto-Hybra(or Gavzilla) for beta-ing both Project 7 and this story. I have to admit, his advice affected the plot of this series so much that I have to name a co-author. He's a really good idea guy to bounce plot ideas back and forth with. The link to his profile is in my Profile under projects. So without further delay, here you go! Next update will be this Friday!

"Hey Megaman! Megaman! Hey, Hub!" a voice interrupted the blue navi's thoughts and he snapped his head up to look at his operator.

"Oh, sorry Lan. I was just thinking." Megaman said sheepishly.

"You seem to be doing that a lot nowadays. You okay?" Lan pointed out.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know. I'm not the one in your head."

"Thank heaven for that."

"What's that supposed to mean!?"

"That you in my head would drive me insane."

"Why you?!" It then occurred to Lan that his brother was just joking with him.

Megaman started rolling on the floor of homepage crying his eyes out. It was always funny for him to see Lan overreact to things. Which reminded him, he had to remind Mayl that they were a go for that plan. He stopped laughing and turned to his brother, who had also started laughing at his quick temper.

"Hey Lan, I just remembered. Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for that date with Mayl tonight?" Megaman asked and was forced to bite his lip in his attempt to stop his laughter when he saw his brother freak out and quickly run for the bathroom. Mayl wouldn't be happy if he was late for their fourth date. Megaman took the opportunity to escape into the cyber world and head over to Mayl's PC.

Roll sat around in her homepage. Mayl was stilling going through outfits and she was beginning to get bored of watching her operator's antics. It wasn't like Lan would particularly care what she wore; but to the love-struck Mayl, there was no easy way of telling her that. So, she entertained her by letting her run around her room in a frantic rush. But then again, what else could you do as a navi but care for your operator?

Roll soon began to fade the world out as she thought about her life. Surprisingly, she found herself thinking about her creation. She never really remembered waking up during her programing. When she talked to several other navis, including Protoman, Gutsman, and Glyde, each navi told her that they were woken up multiple times during the course of their programing. Normally, the programmer did this to make sure that the navi was even running correctly. But she never did wake up during her programing; at least if she did, she didn't remember. Roll sighed to herself.

She was happy being Mayl's navi, but sometimes she wondered if she was truly happy. Sure she would wake up every day and be incredible joyful that she the world hadn't ended and that everything was still running smoothly in this happy little world. But sometimes she wondered if her feelings were truly genuine. After all, she was a navi.

All navis were given simulated emotion programs so that they were better able to learn from their operators. They could copy them more easily if they understood just what they were feeling. But in the end, her emotions and feelings were just some program telling her this was how she should feel. Weren't they?

Her thoughts then turned to Megaman. The only navi who had once been human. The only navi who actually understood what it was like to have real feelings. Everyone else in the cyber world was just playing along. Roll sighed, leave it to her to fall in love with him.

In a sense, she was envious of Mega. He was able to do what she couldn't. He would actually know what having feelings were really about. Even if he was only a mere baby when he died, he still knew what it was like to have feelings.

But some days, Roll could swear that something was wrong with her. She remembered a few occasions where this random navi had been trying to impress her. She eventually lost her cool and ended up smacking the navi several times with her energy ribbons. She hadn't meant to boil over and hit him, but he was just so annoying. Then there was that other time when someone had made a joke at her expense. She could feel the anger rising as she remembered that day.

"And who are you supposed to be?" a scientist said. He and several others of his fellow scholars were observing the latest custom built navi. Today was her last day of testing.

"I'm Roll. " the pink navi said politely.

"Cute name. But in the end of the day, cute names will only get you so far. Perhaps, we should just assign her to a school teacher. It's boring enough for our little friend here. Plus, she won't be any trouble for those who will have to deal with her. You think children still like the color pink. I hear it's a cursed color in some cultures." another scientist asked.

"She's as good as cursed with this set up. Look at her busting capabilities. She's pathetic" One man said.

Roll winced as the words came out of their mouths. It hurt. They hurt. Why would they talk about her so cruel, especially in front of her! She balled her fists, determined not to cry. But she could feel her eyes betraying her, as little droplets of cyber water were formed in the corner of her eyes.

'Stay strong, Roll. They're just being mean. Don't let them see you cry.' She thought.

"Don't underestimate her." a woman said. Roll was thankful that she at least had someone on her side. At least this one didn't seem to destroy what little confidence she had. It wasn't easy being brought before a panel and judged to see whether or not you were fit to serve the Net Society.

"Dr. Itami, this navi is worthless in a fight. All she has is slow firing arrow."

"I'm fast." Roll blurted. She just wanted to pass this last then. Maybe then she would be assigned to a kind operator. She would take anyone over these scientists. For the last couple of days, they had done nothing but ridicule her behind her back. She was weak in their eyes. Roll just wanted to but this whole situation behind her.

"Yes, her speed attribute is remarkable high. But it would do her no good if she can't fight. And it's obvious she can't. Seriosuly, this navi wouldn't even be able to protect herself form a Mettuar. I'd say we're better off scrapping her and rebuild her from scratch." he sneered back. He had never been a fan of Dr. Itami's navi. They were overly emotional and never really functional as virus busters. Boy, where she gone wrong with this one. This pink navi was the worst of the bunch!

Roll felt her systems freeze. No, this couldn't be happening. Oh, why did hse have to ruin everything? The pink navi tried to open her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She didn't want to make things worse for herself.

"She's only somewhat better than a normal navi yes and only that by a slim margin. The only thing she could do is roll around and hope that her opponents think she's crazy and leave her alone." The other scientists began to snicker as Dr. Itami stood there with a neutral look on her face.

Roll felt the tears stream down her cheeks. They were making fun of her, as if they didn't do that enough to her over the past couple of days. Ever since she was presented to the panel, they had asked her to reintroduce herself several times even though she was certain they knew her name by know. They had done nothing but ridicule her and pull at her heart strings. She heard one of them remark that she was nothing more than a cute face.

"No operator would ever want this one." The thought had been stuck in her head ever since one of them had uttered it. Now they were talking about deleting her and starting from scratch. She stared down at her hands. No, she liked herself. She didn't want to change. She had her own identity. She remembered meeting several other navis during the course of her testing.

All they cared about was fulfilling their jobs. But what about their need? What about their emotions? Whenever Roll asked, the navis merely responded that whatever made their operators happy, made them happy. But Roll wasn't happy. She was crushed, demolished, and demoralized. She knew that they wanted her to be a normal custom navi. They wanted to be great at virus busting and look tough. But she just couldn't do that. Why couldn't they just understand that?

Roll closed her eyes, trying to make the tears stop. But they just continued to fall as the sound of laughter reverberated in her head. She needed to get out. She just wanted to get out. All of a sudden, she felt something boil inside of her. Anger. She had never felt it so strong. But these attacks. That's it! They were attacking her! Well, she had had enough attacks for one lifetime.

"SHUT UP! STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!" she yelled. It wasn't for another second that she actually realized that she had actually said the words that she tought she merely spoke in her head.

Dr. Itami walked up to the console and put Roll into a pink PET, "I think that's enough for today, gentlemen."

Roll shook her head. She thought she had buried that along with every other bit of her memory of that time. She hated that memory. Like everything else from before she met Mayl, she had buried the memory. She had to admit that she no longer recollected much from those times, but those she did remember haunted her to this day. As Roll looked at her hands, she could have sworn that she saw them light up. But whatever had happened for that split second stopped. Roll was soon brought out of her trance by Mayl's yelling.

"ROLL!" the red haired girl yelled as her navi snapped her head so fast that she almost fell down.

"About time! You've been ignoring me for three minutes straight! You okay?" her operator said concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry, Mayl. I was just thinking."

"Okay, well. I'm going to finish getting ready for tonight. You want me to jack you into the Net?"

"Um..sure. But I'll probably just walk around the homepage."

"Okay. You sure you're okay?"

Roll nodded her head, "Yeah. I just need to walk around for a bit. Clear my head."

Mayl said okay and jacked Roll into the PC.
