"Good morning everyone!"greeted 003, all bright and cheery.

"Good morning,"replied the whole 00 group except 009. (009 was standing in a corner alone while the others were sitting down and eating breakfast or drinking coffee)

"004, is it okay to come out now?"asked 003.

"003, we're flying in the sky right now. It appears that Black Ghost gave up but it won't be the end yet. We have to be more careful from now on,"replied 004.

"And that goes double for you 003,"said 002.

"Oh don't worry! I'll be fine. (Chuckle) So how long is it til we land in France?"asked 003.

"We'll be there in 3 minutes. How could you not know we are flying in the air? Didn't you feel the airplane rising?"asked 004.

"Well, I guess I was in a deep sleep. ."said replied 003 who was blushing. She was up half of the night thinking about a special someone.

"What, were you up all night?"asked 006 who put down a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and rice.

"Thank you 006 and no I wasn't up all night,"said 003 who went redder.

"Then why are you blushing so badly?"asked 004.

"Oh I'm just so excited to see France again, that's all,"replied 003 who was now turning to 009. 'Why is he down here? He was always in his room, never coming down here.'

"Hello. .Calling 003. ."said 007 who snapped her back to reality.

"Oh what? I'm sorry,"replied 003.

"Its okay,"said 007.

"Here we are,"announced 004 who was trying to land.

"Oh great!"yelped 003 then ran to her room.

"What is doing?"asked 002.

"She's going to change for the occasion. You can't go out in public wearing a red uniform with a long yellow ribbon tied to your neck. Well you could but it wouldn't be polite,"replied Dr. Gilmore.

"Oh,"said 002.

"We should go to France too!"said 006. "I heard they have great food there! Plus, we need to go grocery shopping."

"Okay,"said 002.

"Should we get changed too?"asked 007.

Before 002 replied to this, he looked at Dr. Gilmore. "Yeah."

"We should all go! Well, besides Dr. Gilmore, 001, and 005. 005 can protect Dr. Gilmore and 001 if they run into trouble."

"Agreed,"said 005. After that was said, they all went to change out of their red uniforms and headed to France.

"I agree to it too . . . Are you coming too 009?"Dr. Gilmore asked 009 who was still standing in a corner.

"Maybe."was 009's reply then walked away.

"Strange boy,"said Dr. Gilmore.

"Give him time. His feelings are mixed up right now,"said 001 who had finally woken up.

"Well glad to see you up,"said Dr. Gilmore.

001 gave no reply, he just yawned.

Paris, France


'Its been so long since I've been here. .'thought 003 as she walked down a street and admiring everything around her. She even forgot to think about what 009 must be doing at the time. The others had dropped her off in front of a café and told her to meet them right there; 002 giving her a half lecture on not trusting anyone she meets.

Meanwhile, the others (002, 004, 006, 007, and 008) were out grocery shopping. Strange enough for 002, going grocery shopping but he had nothing to do. 003 preferred to be alone while she explored her old home. As for 009? No one had a clue.

"I wonder how 003 is doing,"said 007 while shoving some things into the 5th shopping cart.

"I bet she's fine,"replied 006 who was picking out some fruits.

"We'll check on her later. What do you think that punk could be up to?"said 002 who was just standing there, leaning against a wall.

"Do you mean 009?"asked 004.

"NO, I meant that little boy over there! Who else?"replied 002.

"You know, you guys haven't given him a fair chance yet,"said 008.

"We have and he just decided to be a punk ass about everything,"said 002.

"There is more then what lies on the surface,"said 008.

"008 does have a point there. Remember yesterday? You saw the kid laugh. His face was no longer cold. .it was warm and happy. It had a nice person look to it. He has a good heart in there. He just prefers not to show it,"said 004.

"You know what 004? You could be either really really right or really really wrong,"replied 002. They then moved onto the next aisle with 7 shopping carts.

003's status


It was late in the afternoon. The time was 6:56.

'I remember the last time I've been here. .aww (sigh), yeah, I was a ballerina. .practicing in that studio. .oh what fond memories. .and my brother. .and my dear friends. .' thought 003 while walking down the street. She was looking everywhere but where she was going. "Oh I'm sorry!"003 said after she bumped into a strange glowing man.

The man didn't reply, he just smiled then kept on walking. His smile brought shivers down 003's back.

'Is that. .could it be? Freckles, red hair, it, no it's not. It couldn't be!'003 thought as she saw a girl that looked strangely familiar. The cyborg just froze and gazed at a girl with red locks and freckles on her face. 'Like my old friend. .'

"Francoise! Follow me!"the girl waved then shouted.

"What?"replied 003 but the mysterious girl just walked off. 'Should I follow her?' was the only thing that 003 was thinking right now.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


"It's getting late. We better go for 003,"announced 002 when they finally finished grocery shopping. It took more then 10 carts to get what they needed and might I mention costed a whole lotta money.

"It's only 7:30!"complained 006.

"Well we've only spent the last 3 hours going grocery shopping,"said 007.

"True,"said 006. "Let's go get 003, then I can cook up something 'french' like spaghetti or lasagna. No more food fights though, all that food was going to waste. It's fun while the food fight lasts but not when you have to clean it up."

(002, 004, 007, and 008 laugh.)

"What's so funny? Its true!"said 006 then chuckled.

After that little moment, they headed off to get 003. (The groceries are being delivered to them as usual.)


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Meanwhile 003, who was following the strange girl that seems to look like her friend from the old days, had finally come to a halt right when the girl did. It seems that the girl had led her to a ruin. (Think back to the episode when 003 visits France again in the tv series ^_^)

"Who are you?"asked 003.

"Don't you remember me Francoise?"replied the girl.

"You. .you look familiar,"said 003.

"I am who you think I am,"said the girl.

"What?"asked 003. "Is it really you?"

"Ah hahaha! Is it really me! Ah hahaha!"the girl laughed hysterically. "I was your dance partner, you know, your best friend that you left behind!"

"Oh I'm sorry! But it wasn't my fault,"said 003 then cried a tear.

"You were the one that gave up your dream!"the girl shouted. "Its all you! You must dance now. ."

"What?"was all 003 managed to say.

"You must dance!"she shouted again then she turned into a demon.

"Ah!!"003 screamed. She saw her brother for a nanosecond then he too turned into a demon. The demons head towards her. .Then all of a sudden, she starts to dance. She's wearing red slippers and a pink ballerina outfit. It seems that she has fallen into a. .a dream.

"La la la la,"the cyborg hummed while twirling.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


The others status

"Where could she be?!"shouted 002, who made people stop and stare. They were in

front of the café where 003 and them were suppose to meet.

"Hey look at that, it red airplane,"said 004.

"Let's follow it,"said 007.

"What!"shouted 002 again but the others were already following the airplane. They ran after the airplane more likely.

The mysterious red airplane led them to a ruin where they heard humming. .

"Isn't that 003?"asked 006 who pointed to a young lady that was twirling.

"SHE'S ABOUT TO FALL INTO THAT HOLE!"screamed 008. "And we're so far away!"

Not another word was said as 002, 004, 006, 007, and 008 ran to the spot where 003 was.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She wasn't aware of the black hole in front of her. She takes a step nearer to that

hole. . .one step nearer. . .then one of her foot was right over the whole and she took a twirl then. . .


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hehehe So sorry! I just had too. It helps out the next chapter a lot. And I apologize to the creator of Cyborg 009 as I have borrowed a few scenes from his anime. .If you guys have seen the Tv episode where 003 visits Paris again, then you'd understand this chapter a lot better. By the way, Vash the Stampede- LOL stands for laugh out loud. I'll try to lighten up on 009 but its part of my plot lol and if I might please ask to be patient for the next chapter I'll give you romance lol! (That did NOT come out right) 009/003 romance I mean. .
