What's up, fans? I think there's like… what, 23 of you so far who read both of the Chapters so far? Anyway, I've been feeling good about my hits and visitors, BUT… NO ONE, save my friend, has given me a review. So like, really. Whether you start Chapter by Chapter Reviewing me, or just letting me know now and then at the end of the entire story (Should be like… 7-10 Chapters) what you think about it, what you like, and what you would like to see. I might adapt some ideas. Anyway, yeah, I just wanna know what my readers think. But alright. Are you all ready for Chapter Three? I hope so, cuz HERE IT COMES! Also, SPOILER WARNING, kinda. If you've done your research on the series or you don't care about spoilers, then full steam ahead! (Don't ask about "Geo's suspicions" yet, and all MegaMan's base are belong to Keiji Inafune.)
Chapter 3: The Past, Present, and Future
About an hour after Geo and Sonia
arrived at Geo's house, all the details of Geo and Sonia's
romance and also about the invasion were sorted out. Hope was
incredibly overjoyed to hear about Sonia, and Kelvin took interest in
the invasion more than the romance. He was curious as to what could
be going on. He noted that Geo's suspicions could be true, but that
they were very peculiar. However, he did take both Geo and Sonia's
Hunter VG's, promising that he and Aaron Boreal would find a way to
make them work. He gave them Sub VG's to use, which barely had the
utilities of a Transer, as Sub VG's were only for temporary
use.
After that, for the next two months, Geo and Sonia spent
every day together. As happy as they were to be with each other,
Omega-Xis and Lyra had different views. Not about Geo and Sonia, but
they just couldn't stand each other. Well, actually, Omega-Xis
couldn't stand Lyra would be more accuate. Lyra, however, enjoyed
every day she got to torment Omega-Xis.
Over the two months that
had passed, Geo and Sonia had become even closer, and their dates
would get more expensive. "Soniaaaaa…" Geo whined one night.
"You gotta remember, we can't bust viruses for money anymore, and
you're on temporary leave from the police. I'm running out of
Zenny fast, baby…" Sonia giggled when he said this, and agreed
that the dates would have to be inexpensive until they got their
Hunter VG's back.
Also, during the two months, school had
started back up. Geo and Sonia had both chosen the same classes the
year before, back when they were still friends. They were especially
happy that they had done this, as they got to spend more time
together. After school, if they weren't getting reprimanded by Luna
for not participating enough, or for making kissy faces, they would
go straight to Geo's house, which was also Sonia's residence
after the Satella Police took back Sonia's apartment while she was
on leave.
However, one afternoon, when they got home, Hope caught
them at the door. "Geo… Dad called," she said. "He wants you
to go to the AMAKEN Labs. He says to bring Mega with you. And also,
you, too, Sonia. And take Lyra with you."
"Alright!" Geo
cheered. "Dad must've figured something out! Thanks mom, I'll
see you at dinner, 'kay?"
"Thanks for letting us know,
Hope," Sonia said, nodding her head. Both her and Geo turned around
and ran to the bus stop. Within a few minutes, a bus to AMAKEN came.
The bus ride seemed to take forever; Geo and Sonia were excited to be
able to Wave Change again. However, within an hour, they were at
AMAKEN Laboratory. When they got off the bus, they saw a familiar
face waiting to greet them.
"Tom!" Geo said cheerfully. "Long
time no see!"
"Mhmm. It's nice to see you again, Geo,
Sonia," Tom Dubius said. Tom was a tall, lanky coworker of Aaron
and Kelvin. "Can you follow me? We're not in a rush, but we do
have to discuss important information." He walked into the AMAKEN
building and Geo and Sonia followed. Tom led them to his and Aaron's
office.
"Geo!" Aaron shouted. "How've ya been?" He
waved to Geo from his desk.
"Hey, Geo," Kelvin said. "I
guess mom gave you the message, huh?"
"Yep," Geo said.
"What did you want to talk to us about?"
"Well…" Kelvin
started, "You do need to know about it, but really I need to
talk to Mega and Lyra." Kelvin lowered his Visualizer.
"Um…
Okay then," Geo said. Omega-Xis appeared beside Geo and Lyra beside
Sonia.
"Yeah?" Mega said gruffly. "Whaddaya want?"
"MEGA!"
Lyra scolded. "Show a bit more respect, will you? I'm sorry,
Kelvin, sir. What did you need?"
"Well…" Kelvin said. "I
did find a way to work the Hunters so that you guys can Wave Change
without having to occupy an emotional void. However, due to your
frequencies… Well, to make a long story short, you'll need to
decide this: Do you want us to change your frequencies from the EM
Planets' frequency to the Wizard frequency? There's a slight
chance you won't survive, but you can trust me, I would do anything
I could to keep either of you alive. Everyone in this room is like
family to me, you two included."
"I can't speak for this
wuss," Omega said, pointing to Lyra, "but I'll d-"
"I'll
do it, too!" Lyra shrieked before Omega could finish.
"Alright,"
Kelvin said. "It'll take about a month, are you sure?"
"Let's
just say it's payback," Omega said. "I'm pretty sure I did
something like this for you a while back."
"I'm sure,"
Lyra said. "I need to help Sonia."
"Alright, it's
settled," Kelvin said. "Geo. Sonia. Are you okay with
this?"
"…Promise me you'll come back, Mega," Geo
demanded.
"Sure, kid," Omega replied. "I haven't left ya
yet, have I?"
Geo laughed. "No, I guess not."
"Lyra…
You sure?" Sonia asked, shaky.
"Yep, sweetie," Lyra
answered. "Don't worry, one day, we'll be Harp Note
again!"
Sonia smiled. "Alright, I'll hold you to
it!"
"Okay, if everyone agrees, say your goodbyes and you'll
see each other in about a month," Kelvin said. Geo and Sonia
exchanged farewells to Omega-Xis and Lyra. Afterwards, Geo, Sonia,
and Kelvin went home. Aaron offered to start the process so that
Kelvin could eat dinner at home for once. When they got home, Hope
greeted them at the door.
"Welcome home!" she said
cheerfully. "I'm guessing everything going well so far?"
"Yep,"
Kelvin said. "I'm guessing you made a delicious dinner?" He
sniffed the air.
"Just for you, dear," Hope said, kissing
him. "Aaron called and said to make your favorite since you'd be
home for once." She giggled.
"I'll have to bring him some
of your cookies," Kelvin joked. "Or a wrench. Think he'd like
that more?" Everyone laughed at the joke. After talking for a bit,
everyone sat down for dinner. The meal was Hope's own homemade
spare ribs, which beat even the Whazzap specialty.
After dinner,
Sonia leaned back in her chair. "That was delicious, Hope!"
Sonia said, letting out a deep breath. Hope whispered something to
Kelvin, whop whispered something back. "Huh..? What's going on?"
Sonia asked.
"You know, you don't have to call us Hope and
Kelvin," Hope said. "You've earned our trust. If you want, you
can call us Mom and Dad." She smiled.
Sonia gasped.
"R-really..? Um… o-okay m… Mom," she said, shaky but smiling.
"Great meal, Mom!" Hope smiled back at Sonia.
"Anytime for
you, dear," Hope said. "Really, we feel like you and Geo were a
couple even before now. Even if you two didn't think so, you two
were always together, and you were so happy about it. We really hope
you two get married!"
Geo choked on his drink. "Um… Okay,
Mom!" he gasped. "I-I'm glad you think so, heh…"
"Geo,
you're never gonna convince her that way," Kelvin joked. Everyone
laughed, even Geo, although feebly.
"Say, why don't you two
go spend the evening together?" Hope suggested. "I mean, it's
not often that Kelvin has a whole night at home." She winked
at Geo.
Geo's eyes widened and his face turned bright pink.
"Moooooooooooooooom!!!" he shouted, embarrassed that she would
even hint such a thing. "Um… C'mon, Sonia, let's take a walk,
before it gets any weirder in here!" He grabbed her hand and
quickly walked outside.
Sonia giggled. "Wow, your face got
really, really red when your mom said that," she said. "It was
cute."
"Um… Y-you think..?" he asked, shaky.
"Yep,
I do," she said, winking. She hugged him and gave him a kiss. "So
where did you wanna go?"
"Um… I'll let you choose!" he
said, smiling.
"Hmmm…." Sonia hummed. She thought about it
for a minute, and said, "Take me to Dream Island. It has… Lots of
memories."
"Alright," Geo agreed. "Wow, I haven't gone
there for a long time." He grabbed Sonia's hand and walked
to the bus stop. While they waited for the bus, they played around,
with small games of tag or by making kissy faces and then other
strange expressions. They laughed and goofed off until the bus came,
and then a while later, got off at Dream Island, the garden park
built on a landfill.
Sonia ran down the street, waving at Geo.
"Last one to the newer garden is a rotten egg!" She stuck her
tongue out and giggled. Geo chased after her smiling. They both knew
he wouldn't be the first one there, but at least he knew where to
go. When they got there, Sonia ran through the flowers and to the
edge of the garden, where the ocean was splashing against the bank.
"This is the place you saved the world…" she said calmly. He
grabbed Geo's hand and looked at him. "Do you remember?"
Geo
smilied. "There's no way I could forget that." He looked up at
the stars. "Wow… you can see the stars here as well as you can at
Vista Point…"
Sonia stepped closer to Geo. "You're right,
you can," she said, and giggled. She looked over at an antenna
sticking from the ground. "You know, the fragment of Peace is still
here. There's a pathway down to it. Did you want to check it out?"
She was referring to the piece of the space station that Kelvin was
on that was destroyed which fell into the ocean.
Geo thought
about it, and then replied, "Yeah, for memories'sake." He
smiled and they walked over to a door that had the WAXA logo on it.
Geo typed in the four-digit code which opened the door and walked
down the steps, still gripping Sonia's hand.
"Wow…" Sonia
said. "It's still as amazing as it was five years ago." She
looked at all the computers and devices around the fragment. She sat
down in the far end, in front of the computer Geo used to transmit
himself to the Peace fragment still in Outer Space five years before.
She patted the ground beside her. "C'mon, sit!" she urged.
Geo
walked over and sat down next to her. As soon as he did, she hugged
him and rested her head on his shoulder. He hugged her back and
kissed the top of her head. "I love you, Sonia," he said
gently.
"I love you, too, Geo," she replied softly and held
him tighter. "You know… This is the first time we've really
been alone… I mean, even Mega and Lyra aren't here… It feels so
special." She smiled and held him tighter.
"You're right,"
Geo said, just realizing it. "It's nice to be alone with you,
even if just for a bit," he said, smiling. He kissed her head
again.
Sonia looked up and kissed him on the lips. "I…" she
said, looking for the words. She pushed him over and laid down beside
him. "I'll be your's, forever, right..?"
Geo paused,
surprised with the situation. "Yes," he finally answered," even
if something were to happen to us, I wouldn't want anyone else,
baby. Um…" He paused for a moment, and then continued. "I know
you feel the same about me… And… Even I'm not clueless as to
why you brought me out here…" He kissed her lovingly and held her
tightly. "I love you, Sonia. I'll dedicate myself to you, and I
trust you completely." He kissed her again.
"You do..?" she
asked. Geo nodded. "I… I'll be yours, Geo, I promise… I love
you…" She slowly climbed on top of him and kissed him gently. She
began to pull off his shirt. "Are you okay with this.." she
asked, tossing his shirt to the side.
"…Yes," he said,
shaky. "I'm sorry if I'm nervous, I'll help, too." He
reached up and pulled her hoodie off, tossing it aside, just as Sonia
did with his shirt. They continued this until they no longer had
anything to take off. For the first time, for either of them, they
did what happy couples did, and afterwards, fell asleep next to each
other. Even while sleeping, they smiled all the way through the
night.
