Before I begin the story, I know I don't have to say it, but I don't own MegaMan or any of the characters involved. All Megaman's base are belong to Keiji Inafune. Keiji is a GOD, I would NEVER claim his work 3 Anyway, the story is a PG-13 fanfic pairing Geo Stelar and Sonia Strumm from MegaMan Star Force. There might be some sexual scenes, but I absolutely will NOT go into detail, this isn't a lemon. I will suggest smecks is happening (if it does, I haven't planned that far yet.) but then timeskip to after the fact. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and now, the feature presentation!

Chapter One: It's Been Five Years

It was a breezy, end of Summer day in Wilshire Hills. Among the many shoppers, movie goers, and tourists, couples could be seen spending time in the plaza. Some of them would cuddle on a bench, some would walk around, some would go for a ride on a Matter Wave, and then some of the younger couples would goof off.
"Raaaaaaaaaape!!!" a girl with shoulder-length auburn hair and a baggy pink hoodie squealed, giggling. A boy with spiky brown hair and a pony tail was chasing her, laughing as well. They were drawing quite a lot of attention to themselves. People would stop and see what was going on, and sometimes they would get awkward glares. Though, this didn't bother either of them. She looked back at him, still running, and smiled. He smiled back, but then frowned.
"Hey, watch out, Sonia!" he shouted. She looked forward again and noticed she was right on the edge of the plaza, which was at least a hundred feet off the ground. She let out a gasp and tried to stop. She managed to avoid falling, but the boy reached out and caught her anyway, just in case. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked.
She turned around. "Yeah, I've had closer encounters with bad situations," she said, smiling. "I'm glad you warned me, though, Geo. If you hadn't noticed, I'd probably have been leaving in a white bag tonight." She tried to force a laugh.
"I'm glad you didn't fall. I wouldn't enjoy having my first Brother gone so soon," he said, referring to Brother Band, a type of communication that his father created to link the entire world through close friendship. "I mean, I wouldn't want you to go later on either," he fumbled. "I mean, I know everyone's gotta go some time, but like… I don't want yours to be sooner than it should. I MEAN, not that you should, but… I mean… I… I kinda hope we could go together, when we're old, you know..?" He thought about his ramble and felt stupid for going on and on about it.
Sonia laughed. "I know what you meant," she assured him. "But… That's so sweet, you hoping we could grow old together, just like an… um… old couple." Now Sonia felt awkward after just two sentences.
"A c-couple?!" Geo stammered. "I didn't really… I mean… That's not exactly what I meant, I mean… You know!" Sonia giggled. "I uh… um…" He looked around and tapped her shoulder. "Tag, you're it! Shouldn't have left your guard down!" He ran off, trying to change the subject. Sonia ran after him, picking up where they had left off.
Off at the sides, two strange creatures, one a blue and green beast, the other a pink and yellow harp, were talking to each other. Both were aliens, and one resided with Geo Stelar, and the other with Sonia Strumm. Upon choice, they could fuse to become powerful warriors. When they weren't fused, they had free will to do anything and go anywhere they wanted. "He seems to have better skills with women than you, Mega," the pink one said.
"I told you once, I told you a hundred time, I'll tell ya again," the other one growled, "women and me DO NOT MIX. I also told you not to get to close to me, Lyra. You're annoying enough as it is."
"What?" Lyra teased. "Afraid I'll ruin your reputation? The mighty Omega-Xis, seen with a woman?"
"WOMEN. ARE. BAD. FOR. MY. HEALTH." Mega replied. "I can feel the cancer spreading already."
"Huh? I don't see Cancer anywhere around here," Lyra joked. "Do you see him?" Mega didn't reply, but instead started banging his head off of a wall.
In the plaza, Geo and Sonia were still playing Tag. They always enjoyed spending their days off from school together. Sometimes their friends Luna Platz, Bud Bison, and Zack Temple would join them, but today, the others were busy getting ready for the new school year. Luna had been the Class President since third grade. Zack had been the Class Secretary for a full year now. Bud, to avoid being left out, was just recently given the responsibility of regulating the school's meal plans, which was something he could never get wrong. Geo didn't get any of these positions because he mysteriously "disappeared" when Luna brought up the subject. So, due to these responsibilities, they were absent on this trip, leaving Geo and Sonia to spend the day together.
Geo was still having fun, running from Sonia. However, he wasn't as fast as she was and she was becoming keener to his tricks to avoid her. She kept catching up to him quicker and quicker each round. They went on for several hours, having just as much fun as when they began. Though, it started to get dark, and when Sonia realized this, when she caught up to Geo, instead of tagging him, she grabbed his wrist and led him up the steps to the IFL Tower. She looked up at the tall tower, which connected all of the EM waves in the country. "Hey," she said, "remember when we came here five years ago?"
Geo looked at the tower, then at Sonia, and then at the tower again. "Yeah, and then Solo tried to steal the Mu Exhibit?"
Sonia giggled. "Yep. At the time, It was kinda scary, but it was fun."
"Yeah, it was," Geo said, smiling. He looked up at the tower. "He's really changed since then. Solo, I mean. He was a lot like I used to be… I'm glad that he got some friends like I did. And you…" He looked at Sonia. "You were my first real friend. I know that I was spending time with Prez, Bud, and Zack before then, but I was kinda forced to… But then I met you at Vista Point… Was it really five years ago?" He looked at Sonia.
She looked back at him and smiled a bit. "Mhmm," she said, nodding.
"Wow…" Geo said. "You've changed a lot, too," he said. He glanced at her chest, but then realized how awkward it was and looked up, but Sonia had seen what he did. "I didn't mean it like that, I promise!" he said, waving. "I mean, you're older. Of course you've changed physically, but I really mean, you seem happier."
"I do?" she asked. "I guess I owe it all to you."
"Me..?" he asked. "Well, I know I can't play stupid. Just like you helped me, I helped you. We were both unhappy, but we became each other's first friend, and first real Brother. I… I'm glad I met you."
"I'm glad I met you, too, Geo," she said, smiling. "I probably wouldn't be who I am without you…"
"I…" Geo said. His heart was racing. He had wanted to tell Sonia for four years how he felt about her, but he never wanted to tell her this much. All the talk about the past and their friendship reminded him exactly why he loved her. "I… Sonia…" He looked into her eyes, trying to put on a serious tone. "I… Please don't think I'm trying to take advantage of you, or trying to get with you, and I don't mind if we go on any real dates or if we remain just friends forever, but I need to tell you. I love you. I wouldn't be anything without you being my friend. I just love you so much, for being there, for letting me be there for you, and for just being such a great friend. I just couldn't hold it in any longer, I needed to tell you… I'm sorry if that came off as sudden or awkward…"
Sonia looked back at Geo her eyes filled with tears. "Geo… I… I love you, too. I was just happy being with you, I didn't, and still don't, want to take any chances of losing you…" She jumped at him and wrapped her arms around him.
Geo pulled her into a hug and held her tightly. "I'm… I'm glad that went well," he said, smiling. "I was so afraid that you would think the wrong thing, I was afraid to tell you…"
She looked up at him, her cheeks wet with tears. She stood on the tips of her toes and gave me a peck on the lips. "Geo… Please, don't be afraid to tell me anything. I'll always be happy to hear anything you have to say. I'll always be there for you, even if we don't become a couple…"
Geo was almost speechless. Though, he did have one thing to say. "Well, with all the being said, and with the way you're clinging to me, I think I have a question for you…"
"Yes," Sonia said, wiping a tear from her face. "Whatever it is, yes."
"Okay," he said, "Will you please be my girlfriend?"
"Yes," Sonia said, smiling brightly. "I will, Geo." She held him tighter, having nothing else to say and being happier than she ever had been. Geo held her tighter as well, the same thing being said for him.
