Music filled the large pink Net Area and the navis inside slowly bobbed to the sounds of the beautiful notes.
"Maylu is getting better." I said as I looked at the girl navi standing next to me.
"I know." She said in a calm beautiful voice.
The navis name was Roll; shad had been Maylu's navi for quite some time now. She wore pink and had long blonde hair with a ribbon in it and the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen.
Of course in my many years I had seen many people and many sets of beautiful eyes.
Oh my…I haven't introduced myself.
I am Julius M. Caine, I have been a assistant Net Navi to a Dr. Yuchihiro Hikari, for about three weeks. I am my operator, a Mr. Jonathan M. Caine, have been working with Dr. Hikari on a new Science Labs project.
I am a very old navi, about in the human life range of sixty. I wear a white suit with a red tie, and a white top-hat. I use a cane to get around, mostly because of my bad right leg. And I have black hair, which is turning to an almost complete white color. And finally the crest, since all navi's have a different one I will tell you mine.
Mine is a black background with a white crescent moon, on the top point of the moon hangs a blood red four point star.
One day a girl with red hair and brown eyes wearing a light green T-shirt, blue zip up vest, pink skirt, red hairpin came to Dr. Yuchihiro's office.
The doctor introduced her as Maylu Sakuria, the operator of Roll EXE and longtime friend of Lan Hikari, Dr. Yuchihiro's son.
My Master and I bowed to Madame Roll and Mistress Maylu.
Maylu had came over to see Lan, since he had taken a summer job at SciLabs to help his father, but Lan wasn't in yet. So Mistress Maylu, Master Jonathan, Dr. Yuchihiro, and Madame Roll and I all talked until Master Lan arrived. Once he arrived Roll and Maylu were off, but Roll invited me to her Net Page to listen to Maylu play her piano, since I had told her I played the violin.
But back to the present situation…
"So," I say to try and start the conversation again. "Do you know if Maylu will play in the Talent Show?" I ask as Maylu begins to start another song.
"I don't know yet, I asked her but…I think she's afraid."
"Bah! She'll do fine. Maylu is a great pianist she will do fine."
"No…I think she has stage fright." Roll said as she looked at me with a worried look.
"What is it?" I ask the navi, who is considerably younger than I.
"…What is stage fright?" Roll asked the question in a basic confused tone.
I chuckle and then as I begin to speak I hear that the small portal to the net open.
"Ah, it seems that you have a visitor." I say as I stand to meet the visitor, as is gentlemen's courtesy.
The light from the portal fades, and a navi in blue stands before us. He has a blue and yellow helmet on, covering his dark brown hair. He too had green eyes, and he had a large red and black crest on his chest, much like the one that I and Roll had as well, only ours were slightly different.
"Hi Megaman." Roll said from her seat on the floor.
"Hi Roll." Megaman says as he walks toward her, then noticing me stops and looks me up and down.
I realize that by the confused look on his face he's trying to learn who I am.
"Ah so sorry, my name is Julius, Julius Caine." I say bowing to Megaman.
"Oh, well then hello Julius I'm Megaman, Lan Hikari's navi."
"Ah yes, I've heard a lot about you from Roll. And please, call me Mr. Caine."
Megaman had a amused look about him and turned toward Roll.
"Oh really? And just what has Roll said about me Mr. Caine?" Megaman asked with a sly voice, Roll blushed and looked away making me chuckle to myself.
"Don't worry, nothing you would have to worry about. She just said that you two where great friends, and told me about your great Net Battling Skills."
Megaman smiled and looked at me with a blank look.
"Well I'm good, but I don't really think I'm all that good." Megaman said. It was a very normal gesture I see a lot, but I haven't seen much of late. Most times when you would ask someone how good a Net Battler they where they would lie to make themselves better, but Megaman was quite truthful I could see it in his eyes.
I laugh aloud for a moment and then cough a horrible sickly cough. Roll jumped up from the floor and steadied me as I began to cough myself to the floor.
"Are you ill?" Megaman asked with a concerned look. He looked as though he were to run out and get a doctor for me.
"No…no…I'm fine…" I say with a cough in between each word.
"I think you should sit back down." Roll said in a concerned voice.
"No…no…I'll leave you and Megaman be. Besides I have much work to tend to. It was nice seeing you again Madame Roll. And tell Maylu to keep up the good work."
I walk slowly to the portal, using my cane most of the way there.
"Master Megaman, Madame Roll." I say as I dismiss myself from them.
Megaman looks at Roll, who has a worried look about her.
"So, who was he?" Megaman asked placing his hand on Roll's shoulder.
"I met him at Dr. Hikari's office…he came over to hear Maylu play her piano." Roll said still looking at the portal.
"…Well…I came over to ask you something…" Megaman said as he walked away from Roll and blushed violently.
Roll suddenly had a bright look about her. "Yes?" She asked in a cute happy voice.
Megaman squirmed and walked away from her again, but Roll ran faster than Megaman walked and cut him off.
"…Well…um…I was wondering…if you wouldn't like to…"
"Yes?" Roll asked in a hopeful voice.
"…Go…out…with me." Megaman said in a very shy voice.
Roll looked shocked and froze in place. Megaman looked at her, worried that there was something wrong, when suddenly Roll latched onto his neck with a giant hug.
"Really!?" Roll asked surprised, she never thought that Megaman would ask her.
"If you'd like to…" Megaman said not knowing how to get Roll off of him.
"I'd love to go on a date with you Mega!"
Piano music had filled the house and Net Area this whole time, but suddenly it screeched to a halt.
Maylu's face appeared on the PET screen, she looked surprised and excited.
"You two are going on a date!?" She asked excitedly.
"Yes." Roll said as she hung onto Megaman's arm.
"I never thought Megaman would ask…" Maylu said aloud as she began to play a cheery piece of music for the two of them.
"So where are we going to go?" Roll asked.
Megaman smiled a sincere smile and looked at Roll with a proud look.
"Wherever you want."
