A/N: I must rant about ReBoot. *SPOILER ALERT IN A/N* I watched this show when I was younger. I loved it. But then, after a wonderful conclusion to Daeman... Megabreath came back. And almost marriaded Dot... And the bloody cliff-hanger! Gahhhhh... So I'm going to write about what they DIDN'T say in the shows and after the end as well. But I'll lead up to it. Hopefully this doesn't become a dead-end story.

EDIT: Most of this story will go as if you've watched the show and know all these things. So I won't be adding descriptions to who is who and what Mainframe looks like. I'm writing from that point of thought.


-Two Small Sprites-

(This takes place just after "AndrAIa")

(-) means that the character is thinking.

Timeframe:

millinano = second

nano = minute

second = hour

minute/cycle = day

hour = year


"It's a game sprite, outside of a game, I don't believe it!" Bob said in shock.

"Hey, what did she mean, 'Gaurdian'?"

AndrAIa's eyes shifted between Enzo and Bob, before resting on Enzo who smiled uneasily at Bob.

"Come with me and we'll see about settling you in." Dot said to AndrAIa.

"Enzo, we need to talk." Bob said to Enzo in a stern voice. Bob and Enzo followed behind Dot and AndrAIa as they headed for the principal office, but far enough behind them that they could talk amongst themselves. "Enzo, it's a bad idea to lie to others. Especially when it's to friends or sprites you want to be friends with." Bob told Enzo quietly, unaware that Andria could hear it all.

"I know. I'll tell her when we get a nano." Enzo replied just as quietly, shoulders slumped.

Bob smiled a little and to cheer up the young sprite said, "Come on, once we get AndrAIa settled in, we'll grab some energy shakes and show her around Mainframe."

Enzo perked up and nodded. The two sprites picked up their place to match the others.

(*meanwhile*)

"My name's Dot, I'm Enzo's sister. The other sprite is a Guardian named Bob. What's your name?" Dot asked as she gave AndrAIa a zip board and showed her how to use it. AndrAIa caught on quickly and soon they were flying towards the Principal Office.

"I'm AndrAIa." An replied.

"And what do you plan to do in Mainframe?" Dot asked while looking back at the game sprite.

AndrAIa paused, thinking about how to respond to that. Her instinct told her that the older sprite was someone of importance and in charge. She knew she had to tread cautiously. "I'd like to learn about this system and … stay with Enzo." AndrAIa said a little hesitantly, worried that this sprite wouldn't want her to be near Enzo.

Dot looked back in surprise before saying, "We'll get you settled in, Mainframe-style. Ah, here comes the boys now and we've arrived at the Principal Office."


All four sprites landed down and headed into the Principal Office to see Phong.

"Ah, welcome my children. Is something the matter?" Phong asked as he wheeled up.

As Bob and Dot explained as best they could to Phong, AndrAIa turned to Enzo and asked, "Who is this old one? And are all of you his children?"

"He's Phong, the system Administration and that's just how he talks to everyone." Enzo explained in an undertone. "He's very smart."

"So, AndrAIa, why don't we go to the medical center to check on a few things." Phong said as he turned towards the young sprites. AndrAIa nodded slowly and everyone followed Phong to the medical center where he proceeded to scan and run diagnostic programs on AndrAIa. After a second, Phong announced AndrAIa had a clean bill of heath.

"Aside from extreme hearing abilities, special nails, fins and such, AndrAIa is like any sprite one may find in the Net." Phong stated.

"Now I know you said you wanted to learn about Mainframe and be with Enzo. Enzo goes to school, where one can learn about many things. And you can stay with us at our apartment. How does that sound?" Dot asked as she knelt down to look AndrAIa in the eyes.

"That sounds good. Thank you." AndrAIa said with a small smile on her face, while on the inside she was extremely pleased. (I'll get to be with Enzo!) she thought to herself.

"Alphanumeric!" Enzo shouted as he jumped into the air. "Come on AndrAIa, I'll show you all the coolest places in Mainframe!" Enzo said excitedly as he waved once to AndrAIa for her to follow him.

Just before Enzo jetted out the door, Dot put a hand on his shoulder.

"Just a nano Enzo. Remember, no going into or staying in the path of game cubes, don't talk to or go with strange or viral binomes and be home before dark." Dot said sternly, while pointing with her index finger to make sure Enzo knew it was serious.

"Yeah Dot, I know." Enzo said with a sigh. (I can't believe my luck. Scolded in front of AndrAIa, I bet I look uncool now...) He thought to himself as he looked at the floor.

"Ok, go ahead then." Dot said letting go of Enzo's shoulder.

"Woohoo! Let's jet!" Enzo shouted to AndrAIa.

"Be safe!" Dot called to the young sprites as they left running.

"We will!" Enzo called back, not slowing even for a nano.

"Well, at least now he has a friend near his age." Bob said as he put a hand on Dot's shoulder.

"Yeah. Thanks for your help. I better head back to the Dinner." Dot replied, patting Bob's hand twice before moving away.

The two older sprites walked much more slowly out the doors compared to the younger ones. Each heading for their own destinations, one to her business at the Dinner and the other to update his read-me file on game sprites.

Wise old Phong merely watched, pleased that somethings were working out and hoped peace would continue for a while longer.
