Lost in More than Thoughts
Chapter 1: Snowy Days
Staring out of the window, a young Net Battler was thinking, although he wasn't quite sure what he was thinking about.
He looked at the clock, which read, "7:30 AM." He gave a deep sigh, trying to remember something, although he wasn't quite sure of what to remember.
He thought that maybe he was just bored since it was way too early in the morning, but he knew that wasn't it. He decided to forget about it for now and went to take a shower.
Inside a blue PET, a certain blue net navi had just woken up. While taking a peek into the real world, he was amused at what he had embarked upon.
A Netto-less bed! In the morning, on a Sunday, no less? Maybe he had been dreaming, but he slapped himself, indicating that it was real enough.
"You're up early, Rockman," Netto said.
"I could say the exact same thing for you, Netto-kun," Rockman replied.
"Ha ha very funny." At that, Netto stuck his tongue out that the little blue navi. "So, that aside, what shall we do today? It's only 8:00 AM, and I'm already bored."
His stomach started to grumble.
"Why not go eat something before you die of starvation," Rockman said teasingly and laughed.
Netto rolled his eyes at Rockman, but grabbed his PET and went downstairs for breakfast. Surprisingly, his mother wasn't down there. Perhaps she was still asleep as it was really early for a Sunday.
That didn't matter, though, as he acquired quite a bit of culinary skills from his mother. He decided that he shall make curry this morning.
"Curry for breakfast?" asked Rockman.
"Why not? Curry is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert!!" Netto replied as a large grin swept his face.
"If you say so."
One Hour Later
Netto placed three plates and glass cups on the table, scooped a small serving of rice and curry for each one, and poured a glass of water for himself, a glass of coffee for his father and a glass of tea for his mother.
As he headed upstairs to wake his parents, they were already up and dressed. Surprised to find Netto up so early, on a Sunday, no less, they smiled at him.
"Good morning, Netto," they both said in unison and giggled.
"You're up early," said Yuuichiro [his father] said.
Before Netto could say a word, Haruka [his mother] smelled something good and went downstairs while he and his father followed.
"Netto, you made breakfast for us today? How nice of you!" said Haruka.
"Yup! I woke up really early today and was hungry, so why not make breakfast for all of us while I was at it," replied Netto.
"Instead of talking, why don't you two start eating?" joked Yuuichiro.
"Like father, like son," Haruka replied and smiled before joining them for breakfast.
After breakfast, Netto couldn't quite decide on what to do as Rockman thought the same. Most of his friends were probably doing other things at the moment as none of them had called him yet.
He wasn't quite thinking straight and forgot that they all were out of the country... all except one. Rockman suggested that they step out for a bit, and Netto decided to take on his suggestion.
"Mom, Rockman and I are going to step out for a bit. Is that okay?" he asked his mother.
"Sure it is. Just make sure to be back home before dark, okay honey?"
"Gotcha. Bye mom! Have fun with... er... whatever you'll be doing."
"Ha ha, okay. Have fun, dear!"
Netto grabbed his jacket, scarf, and boots as he headed out. The sky was overcast as it snowed lightly. He just remembered that he left his PET inside.
"Netto-kun! You almost forgot Rockman!" shouted Haruka from inside the house.
Oh snap. "I'm coming!" he yelled back, running to his house. He took his PET from his mom and thanked her and left again.
"I can't believe you almost forgot me, Netto-kun. What's gotten into you? First, you woke up earlier than I did, on a SUNDAY no less, you only ate seven servings of curry this morning, and you almost left me at home! If there's something wrong, please tell me. I'm listening. You know I always am," said Rockman.
"It really is nothing, nii-chan. Maybe I'm just bored. I mean, when was the last time we were given a mission? I even-"
"Yes, Netto-kun?"
"No, it's nothing. Hey, let's go to the park! Last one there is a rotten pot of curry!"
"If you hadn't already noticed, I'm right in your hand."
"Right right right. Let's go."
= At the Park =
Netto sat on the swings, looking like he was thinking, but he also looked saddened. Rockman noticed this and asked, "Netto-kun, please tell me, what's wrong? You look sort of upset, but how can I help you if you don't tell me what's wrong. Don't bother saying there's nothing wrong; I can sense it."
"Huh oh. Fine, it's just that, I don't know, I feel... sort of... lonely at times. I don't really know how to explain it."
"Oh, you mean because Meiru's vacationing in France, Yaito's back in England for now, Dekao's at school in India, and Tohru's studying penguins at Antarctica? Well... you still have me." Rockman smiled softly.
"Yeah, I suppose, but there's more..." Netto said more to himself than to Rockman. However, Rockman never misses a thing.
"Such as?"
Netto remained silent for a while until he noticed an ice cream truck. "Hey look, there's the ice cream man. I want ice cream!" Netto dashed to the ice cream truck and purchased a vanilla cone, licking it calmly.
Rockman thought, Ice cream trucks in this weather. Today really is a weird day... Hmm...
"The snow's pretty, isn't it nii-chan?" At that, Netto dropped backwards onto the snow and began making snow angels.
"Yes, it certainly is," Rockman replied, more relieved to see that maybe his younger brother wasn't feeling too down anymore.
Ole~! Ole~! Saa tachiagare. Shouri no hana wo mune ni kazashite. It was a call from someone. Netto answered and recognized a familiar voice.
"Hello? Oh okay. Sure. Mhmm. No. Yeah. Where? Why? Okay. See you soon. Bye. Wait, what? Fine, bye," Netto said into his PET.
"Come on Rockman, we gotta hurry! No time to waste!" Netto told Rockman. Being inside the PET, he knew well what was going on.
"Right behind ya, or with you, rather, in this case."
