This is my first Megaman/Roll story, so I hope you enjoy!
Diclaimer: I don't own Megaman, or any of the other characters or anything else.
It was a nice sunny day. School was just finished, and everyone had reached their homes. School was boring as usual.. Ms. Mari, the teacher, had been droning on and on and on. Lan gradually fell asleep, Dex looked like he was going to sleep too, but Maylu and Yai, the bright students, always gave the teacher their full attention on the board, as usual.
Roll was in Maylu's PET, watching her NetOp do her homework, and later on, play the piano. While she was watching Maylu do her everyday things, she was deep in thought all of a sudden. She wondered if she was truly happy these days.. She thought about her life, how this society was formed, her friends..
And now her attention immediately shifted to Megaman. She just loved thinking about him. Megaman was always so sincere and kind to everyone.. She thought dreamily. Megaman was also always there for her.. There was not a time when Megaman was not there for her. Megaman was there for all his friends, always there, always so kind..
"Roll? Are you okay?" said a voice outside Maylu's PET. Roll snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to see that it could be no one else except Maylu, looking at her with worry.
"Hey Maylu, I'm fine," said Roll.
"Are you sure, Roll? You've been doing that kind of thing lately for a month.. Sometimes I think you do it for over an hour now.. Is something bothering you Roll?"
"N-Nothing's bothering me, Maylu!" stammered Roll.
"Ha ha ha.. You've been thinking about Megaman, haven't you.."
"N-NO! I wasn't!" yelled Roll, blushing furiously.
"Oh, c'mon Roll… There's no more hiding from it now.. I could tell that you have because you've been looking shy around him, and you've been hugging him a lot too these days," Maylu said with a smirk. "C'mon, Roll, just admit it that you like Megaman.."
"N-No, I-I don't l-l-like him," said Roll, her heart beating very fast. All of a sudden, Roll hung her head.
"F-Fine, yes.. I think I do like him.." muttered Roll quietly.
"Ha ha, there it is," said Maylu. "Well then, why don't you go tell Megaman about your feelings, Roll?" asked Maylu.
"Well, I don't know if Mega will accept my feelings.. I don't even think Mega likes me back!" said Roll, about ready to burst into tears.
"Roll, what are you talking about? I'm pretty darn sure that Megaman likes you.." said Maylu, smiling.
"B-But.. it doesn't look like it to me.. He looks so n-neutral.." stammered Roll.
"That's because he's good at doing that. He can be as dense as Lan is Roll, relax," said Maylu. "Now Roll, I think you should tell me why you have a crush on Megaman."
"Well, he's really kind.. Ever since that first day I saw him, he was amazing.. He saved me from Torchman, from a lot of things.. It's just so hard to realize it, Maylu, but he's been for me nearly all the time! And his personality.. I just .. just love him!" said Roll. "But, there's just one thing that's annoying me.."
"What is it, Roll?" asked Maylu.
"You know that annoying nurse, the one named Meddy?" asked Roll.
"Yeah.. I see.." said Maylu, all of a sudden she too angry at the thought of her NetOp, Jasmine, who also seemed to have interests in Lan.
"Well, she always tries to steal Megaman all the time! And sometimes, it's not just Meddy, there are a lot of girls who take interests in Megaman.. I'm afraid that Megaman will like them instead of me!" said Roll, with angry tears.
"I know, Roll, they sure are annoying," said Maylu. "Say, I'm going to Lan's house, why don't you go to Net City? Lan told me that Megaman was there already, why don't you go join him?"
"I will!" said Roll, transferring to Net City immediately.
'Wow.. Roll really does love Megaman..' Maylu thought, before closing her door to go see Lan.
Megaman was helping Lan with his homework, mainly because Lan never paid attention in class. "Lan, here, I've done the last problem. Do you get it now?" he asked.
"Yeah, thanks Megaman," said Lan, yawning. "You know, Megaman, I feel so bad making you do my homework all the time.."
"Well then, if you do, then pay attention in class!" exclaimed Megaman. Lan laughed.
"I know.. But it's really hard and boring most of the time.." said Lan.
"I know it's really boring Lan, but you need to try harder!" encouraged Megaman. "You think you're the only one, but I also get bored too. But I have to pay attention so you don't fail during class!" said Megaman.
"Okay, okay.. I'm sorry Hub.." said Lan. "Say, I heard Protoman was having a battle against this Navi at the Net Battle Arena in Net City.. Why don't you go cheer him on?"
"Okay, sure! I'll see you in a bit, Lan." Megaman said, and he transferred to Net City.
Lan was about to step outside his house to go to Higsby's shop, but right when he opened his door, he ran into no one other than Maylu, who also walked straight into Lan.
"Ow!" yelled Lan. "Who was tha- Maylu?"
"Hey, Lan!" said Maylu cheerfully.
"Well, you sure seem cheerful today.." said Lan.
"Why not? Why can't I be cheerful?" asked Maylu.
"I have no idea.." muttered Lan.
"So, why are you heading out?" asked Maylu.
"I was gonna go to Higsby's chip shop," said Lan. "You wanna come along?"
"Sure! I'll see what new chips there are too," said Maylu, giggling.
"Okay, then.." said Lan.
When Megaman arrived in Net City, he walked toward the arena. He was about to enter when he heard someone calling his name.
"Mega!" a cheerful and friendly voice yelled. He recognized that voice to be none other than Roll, one of his best friends.
"Hey Roll," said Megaman, looking behind him as Roll ran up to him and tackled him with a fierce hug.
"Why are you going to the arena, Mega?" asked Roll, still hugging Megaman.
"Well, Lan told me that Protoman was battling now, so I came to watch him. How about you?" asked Megaman.
"Well, I was bored, so I just found you," said Roll brightly. "I guess I'll join you, then. Watching Protoman should be fun!"
"Okay!" said Megaman, smiling. When Roll saw his smile, she thought dreamily for a minute.. She was thinking about how Megaman's smiles always cheered her up and made her happier, no matter what.. "Uh, Roll? You gonna watch this?" asked Megaman, tugging at Roll's hand. Roll blushed heavily.
"Uh, yeah, I'm coming," said Roll, blushing heavily at this, and letting Megaman pull her in, they entered the spectator's view.
"Wow! Roll, look at Protoman, he's so agile and quick these days," said Megaman, watching Protoman defeating his opponent easily.
"Yeah, I know," said Roll, not really watching the battle, but being in her own world of thoughts.
"Uh, Roll? You okay?" said Megaman. Roll snapped from her thoughts and looked at Megaman.
"Yeah, I'm fine," said Roll.
"Are you sure? You haven't really been talking ever since you got here.." said Megaman, with a concerned look on his face.
"I'm fine, Mega." said Roll, trying to cover her blushing.
"Roll, why are you blushing?" asked Megaman.
Roll couldn't hide her face; she was so red that it was way too obvious now.
"N-N-Nothing, Mega. It's nothing." said Roll.
"O-Okay.." said Megaman, still looking worried, but he turned his head to see that Protoman won his match.
"Looks like the match is over," said Megaman. "You want to walk around a little more?"
"Sure, I'd love to hang out with you," said Roll, blushing even harder.
