Realtime Dilemma
Blues sighed as he watched his partner sleep. The previous night, they had encountered the one netnavi that every netbattler had heard of, but had rarely seen; the Lady of the Undernet, Serenade. Shortly afterwards, Enzan had disconnected the PET, left it on the desk to recharge, and had gone straight to bed. He was sound asleep before his head even hit the pillow.
"Now, it seems, I am in a bit of trouble." Blues dryly thought, his expression deadpanning when he thought of his current situation. Something serious had happened overnight, and he had mysteriously found himself outside of the PET. At first, he'd been very bewildered by this development, and had even thought about leaving the room and going downstairs to see if he could find anything out. The only thing that had stopped him, however, was the thought of possibly scaring the daylights out of anybody who happened to be up at that time of the morning.
"And the last thing I need is someone screaming at the tops of their lungs and waking Enzan-sama. I would rather not have him finding out about this second-hand." Blues thought, noticing when his partner's breathing pattern changed slightly; signaling that he was about to wake up.
"Okay...Here it comes..." Blues mused, as the boy slowly roused up, then sat up and stretched slightly.
"Any new e-mails, Blues?" Enzan asked, with a yawn.
"I haven't the slightest idea, Enzan-sama. I think the 'Net is down." Blues replied.
"What do you mean by...that...?" Enzan asked, as he looked directly at Blues, and his eyes widened.
"What're you doing outside of the PET, Blues?" Enzan questioned, his expression unreadable as he got out of bed and approached the confused Netnavi. Blues shook his head.
"Again, I really don't know, Enzan-sama." Blues answered, a bit embarrassed that he couldn't supply an answer to his obviously equally confused Netop. With a hiss and a stifled curse, Enzan slapped a hand to his face, then turned away from Blues and started getting ready to leave for the day.
" I'm going to get a quick shower, Blues, and then we'll go and find out if this has happened to anyone else. Until we do, try to look as normal as possible, okay?" Enzan asked. Blues nodded.
"I'll try, Enzan-sama." Blues said, then silently added, "This is going to be a long day, that much is already evident...How am I supposed to look 'normal' anyway?" Little did either of them realize just what the rest of the day had in store for them...

Author's Note!
I know that this short fic may not make much sense, but it was just an idea that came to mind late one night. In Volume Six of the Megaman NT Warrior manga, we see Netto's and Rockman's reactions to this occurrance, but not Enzan's and Blues. So I thought I'd attempt it. Hope this was at least a passable attempt!
