[Chapter 3: Traffic Signal Chaos!]

Heading to Dentech Academy!

It was the next day and Natsu was paddling slowly next to Maylu who was walking next to Lan as she pushed her scooter on their way to school.

"Hey, Lan," Maylu spoked up, "have you heard the latest?" Lan looked over at the red head. "There's some new kid joining our class today."

"I hope he's into NetBattles," Lan stated.

Maylu and Natsu looked at each other before they giggled, but they looked back at him with a smile.

"It's not A he," Natsu told him.

"It's a she," Maylu finished, "and get this?" Now Natsu and Lan where looking at Maylu. "Her dad's rich. And he's the president of Ayano-Tech."

"Really?" Natsu asked shocked.

"Wow!" Lan said in awe, "are you serious? The game company Ayano-Tech?"

Just then Dex came up and moved in between Lan and Maylu.

"Good morning Maylu, Natsu," Dex greeted.

"Good morning," Maylu song though Natsu didn't say anything.

Dex looked at Lan with a glare.

"I challenge you and blue boy to a NetBattle," Dex told him.

"Bring it on Dex," Lan accepted, "anytime, any-Huh?"

Just then a black limo pulled up and out rolled an ORANGE carpet though some of the kids where saying it was red.

Classroom 5-A!

Natsu took her set next to Lan where both of them jacked their Navis into the computer systems to hang out with the others.

"Seattle down class," Miss Mari told them as she had wrote 'Welcome Yai' on the broad. "I have an important announcement to make. We have a new student joining us today. Let's give a warm 5th grade welcome to..."

"Yai Ayano," the young girl finished for her.

At this the whole class started to talk about her.

"Come on," Miss Mari said she clapped her hands getting everyone's attention, "quiet down please? Yai is coming to us from a private boarding school. And is skipping two full grades."

This cause more talking to take place through out the classroom.

School's Computer System!

Ying stood next to Roll as they all stood in front of a brown looking NetNavi who Ying knew as Glyde.

"Greetings and salutations," Glyde greeted, "with your kind permission, allow me to introduced myself. I am Glyde, Miss Yai's personal NetNavi." He then brought his hand to his navi mark. "Besides acting as her schedule support and translator, I have a vast range of laser blasts for NetBattles."

Yang sweat dropped with a nervous smile.

"I'm Megaman-"

Ying had to cover up her giggles when Glyde completely ignored him and walked right up to Roll.

"Hello," he greeted as he took her hand, "I'm honored to meet you."

Roll blushed when Glyde kissed her hand.

"Oh, what a gentleman," she said.

"Hey, beat it," Gutsman growled.

It was then that Glyde took noticed to Ying who was giggling at Gutsman's lame tries to get Roll before he smiled.

"Ah, Miss Ying," Glyde said making the giggling NetNavi to stop and look at him. "It's an honor to see you again."

Glyde kissed the back of Ying's hand as well making her blush, but she took noticed the glare that Megaman was sending right at Glyde.

"It's good to see you again as well Glyde," Ying said with a smile as he stood up.

"Huh?"

"Ying, how does he know you?" Roll asked.

"Did you forget that Natsu's Father is a well known Lawyer while her Mother is a DA?" Ying asked confused.

"Hold on!" Megaman yelled in shock, "your saying that Natsu's family is rich?"

"Yes," Ying answered, "didn't Lan tell you, Megaman?"

"No," the blue Navi answered with a sigh.

"I see," Ying said with a raised eyebrow, "well, now you know then."

Roll giggled as Megaman let out a sigh while shaking his head. They all sat around talking and laughing for bit longer before their NetOps jacked them out and back into their PETs as it was the end of the school day.

Real World: After School!

Natsu had just unfolded her bike and was just about to get on when Lan came blading up to her with Dex right behind him.

"Hey, Natsu, do you want to come with us to Yai's place?" he asked.

"No thanks Lan," Natsu i said.

"She has guitar lessons Lan," Ying said from her PET.

"Alright," Lan said with a nod, "see ya around."

"See ya," Natsu said as she got on and rode away from the school heading home.

Natsu let out a sigh as she headed for home.

Masato's residents!

Natsu paddled up to a sat of gates, but stopped so she could push in a key code before the pair of gates opened, she paddle her bike right on in, and up the long drive way. It wasn't long till she had stopped in front of a mansion when Katashi walked up to her.

"Welcome home Miss Natsu," Katashi greeted.

"Thank you, Katashi," Natsu said as she got off her bike.

"Allow me to put your bike away Ma'am," Katashi told her.

"Very well," Natsu agreed before she allowed him to fold her bike up and put away before walking inside.

"Welcome home little Sis," Arata greeted.

"Thanks Arata," Natsu said as she rolled her eyes, "I'll be up stairs practicing."

"Alright," Arata said as he didn't look at her.

Natsu let out a sigh as she headed up stairs to her room where she picked up her guitar and started to play looking at the music notes on her PET.

{Me: Song; You Don't Love Me by Stephanie Mcintosh.}

I see the blue in your eyes

Baby what are you hiding?

I catch a glimpse of the truth

And it don't look good, no

Ying looked at Natsu as she started to sing even though she didn't have to along to the guitar music making the pink haired Navi to smile a bit sadly.

I feel the ground fall away

As you fight back the tears

And choke the words

[CHORUS]

You don't love me

You can't say it

After all this time

You don't want me

You can't mean it

Tell me you lied

Yesterday everything

Seemed so ok

How can it be that today

You don't love me?

I thought that I really knew

Who you were, baby

But, now my world is a mess

And I'm going down

I can't bear to believe

There's nobody else

The reason is...

Ying listened to her NetOp sing the rest of the song before she brought up the next guitar notes for her on the PET as she just listened with a smile.

After School!

It was a boring morning when school started and now it was after school and kids where heading home. Natsu had just unfolded her bike and got on when Lan came blading up to her so the two started heading home together. It was long till they got to the intersection of a street where they noticed something was wrong when no one was moving.

"Megaman, what's going on?" Lan asked.

"Something bad is going down," Megaman answered from his PET, "take a good look at the traffic like on the other side...it's red...actually all of the traffic signals are red. That's why no one is moving."

"I wonder what happened," Lan said in a thoughtful voice.

"Jack me in Natsu," Ying's voice sounded next from her PET, "I'll go directly to the Traffic Control Computer and find out what exactly is going on."

"Lan, jack me in, too," Megaman told his NetOp.

"We're on it," Lan told them as he looked. Both he and Natsu headed over to a light post. "Jack-In Megaman!"

"Jack-In Ying!"

"Power Up!"

Traffic Control System!

It wasn't long till Megaman and Ying ended up to in the traffic system and they started to look around quickly.

"The place been attacked by viruses," Megaman told their NetOps.

It was then that Ying noticed a NetNavi, but not just any NetNavi cause it was Glyde making her gasp.

"Megaman look," she told the blue navi next to her.

Megaman looked over to where she was looking before he, too, let out a gasp and they both ran over.

"Oh no," Megaman said as they got to their knees next to him, "Glyde!"

"Hey!" Ying said, "what happened to you, Glyde?"

"Megaman, Ying...beware of the ball," Glyde told them.

"Ball?" they both asked as they looked at each other.

It was then that they both noticed a shadow over them making them look up to see a ball coming at them quickly.

"No Megaman!" Lan's voice sounded when it looked like the ball hit them.

"Ying!" Natsu's voice called.

"Bouncy, bouncy," a clown like NetNavi said as the ball came back to him, "wee! Don't you want to play ball?"

Ying felt her eye twitch in annoyance wanting to hit him.

"So your the clown who messed up all of the traffic signals," Megaman stated.

"Righty-O," the clown agreed, "Wackoman is the name."

Wackoman went for another attack with his ball, but Ying kicked it right back into him before it even hit her, Glyde, and Megaman.

"Hang on Megaman," Lan told his NetNavi.

"Be careful Ying," Natsu added to her NetNavi.

Ying stood in front of her two friends glaring at the NetNavi in front her. Wackoman returned the glare with one of his own, but Ying just looked about ready to delete him when Lan's voice sounded again.

"We need help here Megaman!"

"Catch this!" Wackoman challenged as he sent the ball back at them again.

They had to dodge it this time as it was coming at them two fast.

"Megaman, please tell Miss Yai that the nearest Lavatory is in the traffic control center?" Glyde asked.

"You got that Lan?" Megaman asked his NetOp.

"Got it," Lan answered.

Megaman tried to blast it with Mega buster, but it didn't work.

"Ah, my blaster won't delete 'em," he kinda of complained.

"Games over," Wackoman said, "try and catch this!"

Ying growled when fire surrounded them knocking them to their kneels.

"I do believe we're in trouble," Glyde stated.

"Yeah, could be," Megaman slightly agreed.

"Time to delete you three," Wackoman told them, "enough of this clowning around." He then throw his ball at them again. "Bye-Bye!"

"Alright," Lan's voice sounded.

"We're here to help, you two," Natsu's voice sounded next.

"We're ready," Ying and Megaman told them.

"Then let's do this," Lan said.

"Ok," both Navis agreed.

"Cyber Sword!"

"Wide Sword!"

"Battle Chip In!" both Lan and Natsu said, "Download!"

Ying and Megaman's right arms changed into a sword only their shape and size where different before they ran at Wackoman.

"More wackos," Wackoman said as he brought more smaller version on himself.

"Set 'em up," Megaman said as he sliced through half of them.

"And knock 'em down!" Ying finished as she sliced through the rest of them.

Wackoman, Logging Out!

Ying blinked when Wackoman logged out before she and Megaman could hit him. They both looked at each other with confusion before they just shrugged just as their NetOps logged them out.

Real World: Traffic Control Center!

"Alright," Lan cheered, "way to go Megaman."

"You were great Ying," Natsu told her NetNavi who blushed with a smile.

"Stupid clown!" a voice yelled out making both Lan and Natsu look over to see a woman. "Not fair!" She had kicked the metal poll making her jump up and down. "Not fair! Not fair!"

"Uh, wha?"

"Um...Lan, Natsu," Yai's voice sounded making the two look over at them.

"Wha?"

"Uh...thanks a lot," Yai thanked as she held out her hand.

"Did you wash your hands Yai?" Lan asked as he took her hand in a shake.

"Your Not My Mother, You Know!" Yai yelled at him making Natsu to giggle.

Heading to Dentech Academy!

It was the next day and Natsu was again paddling slowly next to Maylu who was walking next to Lan as she pushed her scooter on their way to school.

"You know what?" Maylu asked, "Yai may be a spoiled little rich kid, but I think she'll fit right in."

"Hey, do you think that she'll buy us lunch-" Just then Dex came up and moved in between Lan and Maylu.

"Good morning Maylu, Natsu," Dex greeted making Maylu laughed while Natsu let out a sigh. "Lan, I'm not even speaking to you." Dex glared at Lan. "My Parents took away my PET for sneaking into Yai's yard."

"Whatever," Lan said in a bit of a whiny voice, "you didn't have to come with me..."

Just then a pink limo pulled up making Natsu, Lan, and Maylu go over to see Yai stepping out.

"Hey Yai," Natsu greeted, "how's it going?"

"What's up with the new limo?" Lan asked.

"Oh, I told Daddy that I just had to have one in my favorite color," Yai answered, "and get this? It has it's own potty."
