Song Of Memory
He was gone. Not in his room, not in the meeting room, not in the cafeteria, not anywhere in HQ. He was gone.
Sunlight poured into the halls and rooms of Maverick Hunter Headquarters, making it look quiescent. It was very quiet....considering it was seven in the morning. Most hunters woke at nine. But this particular hunter was up and about, looking for his friend.
Where is he? Where did he go? Why did he leave? All these questions buzzed in the hunter's mind. He stopped, and glanced around. He was in the hallway, going out to the enclosed garden of HQ. The garden was the most beautiful place to be. Flowers, trees, a small lake and stream, a cliff overlooking the city. It was a piece of nature from long ago, before men invented cities and cars. Sunlight bounced off the hunter's azure armor.
Where is he?!
The hunter had looked everywhere. Except the garden.
No....his friend was never interested in the garden, and was never seen there.
The perfect hiding place.
Running as fast as he could, the hunter ran to the garden. It was mid-spring, all flowers and plants were in full bloom. The garden was now very beautiful. The hunter looked left....right....back...and front. No, not among the flowers. No, not among the trees. No, not near the lake nor stream. Where then!?
The cliff.
A flash of blue, the hunter made a beeline for the cliff. When he was six feet away, he heard something. He stopped in his tracks. Music.
Violin music.
It was a rather sad song....yet somewhere it told of hope. The song told of the player's sad memories, and yet he/she still had hope of going on. Powerful and beautiful that song is. The hunter wouldn't be surprised if it was Alia....or Iris for that matter. But he was surprised. Hiding behind the bushes, he saw who played that sad yet beautiful piece of music.
His best friend, Zero.
Zero swiftly and smoothly glided the bow over the violin's strings, producing the tranquilizing sound. The wind blew gently, tossing Zero's hair out behind him in a flag of gold and silkiness. Zero wore no helmet, only his armor. His helmet laid by his foot.
"If you are to hide, X, at least hide in a half decent place."
X shook his head. He was so tied up in the soft music, he barely heard what was spoken.
"What?"
Zero stopped his playing, and put the violin down. "You heard me. Come out. I knew you were going to look for me."
X stepped out of the bushes. "So THIS is where you hide?"
Zero's face remained the same, no smile. But his eyes held amusement. "You found me."
"....You never told me you played the violin." X said.
"I guess it's a new obsession of mine." Zero said. "You know how I start to like strange things."
"True." X replied. "....That song, what is it called?"
"It's not from anywhere." Zero said, and turned to face the city. "I made it up."
"Quite a beautiful song." X committed.
"Thank you."
"A title?" X asked.
"...I'm not sure on that one." Zero admitted. "I was just tuning the thing up where suddenly, I just started to play that song. I don't know on what to call it."
"It sounded as if you were expressing your sad memories." X said. "But then...you still believe there is hope in those memories."
"You just made a title, X."
"Huh?"
Zero turned to him. "Why not call it `Song Of Memory?'"
"`Song Of Memory' huh?" X asked. "Not bad....let me hear it again."
Zero raised the violin to it's playing position, and started to once again play.
X remained silent, enjoying his time with his best friend.
Best friend....
Zero ended the song then, and turned to X, smiling. "Let this song remind us of our friendship, X. I'll teach it to you, and when in doubt we can play this song to remind us we do have a friend."
X nodded. "Sure Z. Sure."
Zero resumed playing, X hummed along with him. Yes...this is their song.
Their Song Of Memory....
~~Later That Day~~
X was leisurely lying in his pod, right next to Zero's. Zero was out now...off again to who knows where. In HQ, in the city, or out in the garden again.
No....his violin was resting near X's pod, so he didn't go off to the cliff. A few hours ago, Zero had given X a violin and teaching him the song. X's violin was next to Zero's.
Song Of Memory.
X picked up his violin case, opened it, and pulled out the instrument. He placed it in it's play position, and taking the bow in his hands, tried his best to play the song. He could only play half....the rest come out terrible. X quickly stopped before someone came in to complain.
Too late.
"What the frick are you doin X?!" came a loud voice, Cain. "STOP IT!"
"Sorry." X said, not caring if Cain heard him or not. Alia walked in then.
"At first, I heard some very pretty music," Alia said. "Then it went awful. What radio station are you listening to, X?"
"None." X said. "I was...doing nothing."
"Eh?" Alia asked. "You are a BAD fibber."
"So I was playing a violin." X said. "My first try, sue me." X eased back in his pod, his arms crossed under his head and one leg propped on the other's knee.
"I see." Alia said. "Go ahead and play...just not inside HQ if you please." She left then.
"Gee, thanks." X muttered, closing his eyes and started to think.
Zero wandered HQ, as usual. Never in one spot for a long time, unless he was with X.
X...Rockman X, the world's hero....and his best friend.
That's right....best friend. Nothing more.
"Damn." Zero muttered. "I'm getting those damn thoughts again..."
"Say wha?"
Zero growled. "Go away, Double."
Double sneered. Both had taken an instant dislike in each other, no matter how X urged them to be friends they refused to be nice.
"I was merely asking a question." Double said.
"Go to hell."
"Been there. But if I must go again I'll save a seat for you, Zero."
"Do not use my name on your loathsome, fat cow tongue."
"Ouch," Double said sarcastically. "That HURT, Red Devil."
"Leave me alone, glutton."
"Why not run to your friend X?" Double asked, as if mocking him. "Or should I say your sweetie pie."
"X and I," Zero said, anger seething into his voice. "Are friends, unlike you and Agile. Get away from me, I am not afraid to see your blood on my hands."
Double kept his mouth shut. When Zero talked like that, he was serious on killing someone. Double merely walked away, Zero glaring at his back. He turned to face the front and walked a few steps.
"Zero?"
Zero was about to yell when he noticed who it was. He turned around.
"Oh...X...thought you were Double." Zero said calmly.
"I heard you two fighting..." X said. Then sighed. "....Again."
The way X said it made Zero smile a tiny bit.
"WHY can't you two get along?" X asked.
"He is a fat, ugly, piece of crap Reploid I like to-"
"Zero."
Zero smiled broader. "Sometimes, X, not everyone can get along."
X sighed again. "You can say that again."
"Sometimes, X, not every-"
"I didn't mean it like that." X cut in.
"You said I could." Zero said. X grinned.
"Want to run away before Cain calls us?" X asked.
"To where, my friend?" Zero asked.
"I dunno....maybe the park or something." X said.
"Why not?" Zero asked. "Let's go."
"In armor?"
"Heck, why not?" Zero said. "Well? Are we gonna run off?"
X walked past Zero. "Then let's go."
Zero followed after him.
~~Samain Park~~
Zero and X followed the path that ran all over the park, nothing better to do. Zero had his arms crossed and behind his head as X's arms hung at his sides.
"I guess this is better then hunting." X said.
"Better then PAPERWORK!" Zero said. X nodded.
"True, true." X said.
"Oh, look! It's the hunters X and Zero!"
Both hunters turned to see two lone humans, a male and a female. A possible married couple.
"Hi." X said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Jon," the man said. "This is my wife, Ashley."
Ashley nodded. "Nice to meet you. I always wanted to see you guys in person! What a honor!"
Zero nodded. "You need something?"
Jon looked a bit shy. "I was wondering...could we take a picture of you? I'll send you a copy."
X smiled. "Sure? Why not?"
Zero gave a small grin. "Alright."
"Get in any pose you like." Ashley said.
X was surprised when Zero instantly had them chest to chest, one hand holding him close and the other pointed toward the sky behind his head. X just smiled and held up his thumb.
**FLASH**
Zero and X blinked a second after the flash of the camera.
"Got it!" Jon said.
"Very cute, boys." Ashley said. The two let each other go. "We'll send a copy to HQ as soon as we can, okay?"
"Sure." Zero said, and both humans left.
"What kind of pose was that, Z?" X asked as they walked on.
"Something for fun." Zero said. "Something wrong?"
"Nah, you just surprised me." X said.
"Surprise it good."
"True..."
