"No. ."started 003 as she woke up. "What's happening. Who are they? I feel stupid. ." 'Who's that guy? What's that thing pointing to his face? I want to check it out.'So limped to the scene.

When she got there, everyone looked right at her.

"003!!"screamed the group (Besides 009).

"What? Why are you screaming numbers?"asked 003.

"But its your name?"replied 004.

"What? What is my name. ."

"003? Francoise Arnoul?"replied 007.

"What? Your lying!"said 003 as if in disbelief. "What is a Francoise?"

"Get out of my way,"said 009 coldly as if he didn't care who or what she was.

002, who stood in shock also saw the bracelet that he had given her for her birthday and he wasn't full of fear anymore. 'Sticks and stones are hard on bones aimed with angry art. Words can sting like anything but silence breaks the heart. You haven't broken my heart yet Francoise. Your no mere cyborg to me. .but I'll never have you. Your 009's. .and I'm just one of the brothers.' "Go ahead. .009. Shoot me. I have no reason to live. Just don't shoot her." 002 suddenly felt like kicking himself, why would 009 shoot 003? Stupid.

009 acted as if he hadn't heard 002 at all. He was standing there staring at 003, looking at 003's bracelet. He stared at the ballerina shoes and the name that was embroidered onto it: Franscoise.

003 meanwhile stared at 009. 'He looks so. .familiar. . .'she thought.

"What are you staring at?"asked 009, finally breaking the silence.

"You. .you look. .familiar. .you look like your name is Moe. .or something like that,"replied 003.

009 almost laughed out loud but held it in and instead, he gave a little grin. 'Where'd she get Mo from, man she's such a fool.'

"Joe,"corrected 007.

"Oh, it's Joe!"said 003 as if she discovered something important.

009 went back to staring at her with a 'Your crazy' kind of look.

"That's a nice name. ." 003 said quietly. 'I think he hates me. .'

"We've wasted too much time. I have to complete my mission now. Move or I will shoot,"said 009 almost regretfully but his voice didn't reveal it.

"What?"asked 003 but 009 got the gun ready. All he had to do was pull the trigger.

"Move!"shouted 002 as he rammed into 009 causing 009 to pull the trigger on accident. Everything was as fast as it could get from there.

"Ahh!"003 screamed in pain. She was the target of the laser gun.

"Right through the heart,"whispered 006 as all went silent.

002, who was on the ground because 009 had pushed him to the side where 002 landed into a desk injuring his rib.

"You. .now I know you,"003 managed to say through gaps.

009 dropped to the ground, the gun went flying out of his hand as he sat right next to the limp girl beside him.

"009. .?"she said. He managed to nod.

"It's all coming back. .from the. .first time that I met you. ."

"But Black Ghost drained your memory."said 009 surprised.

"He can. .drain . .whatever. .but he can't . .make me forget about you."

"Oh."

"I think I'm dying. .so I minus well get everything out. You know Joe or 009 or whoever you want to be called, I always wanted . .to be remembered as the . .girl who smiles. .even when she's had the worst day of her life. .and the girl that could brighten . .up your day. . even when she . .couldn't brighten up her own. .but I couldn't. You always pushed me away. For a second there, I really didn't think you liked me nonetheless love me. But it's. .the point is, I never could. ."

009, who was about to go mental, was actually filled with emotions. It took him a second to realize what she had said. He knew what he had to say back but didn't want to. "Your wrong, you could br. .igh. .ten up my. .da. .ay."he tried lamely to spit out but it was too late. A bullet by his own gun had killed her and her last breath, her last vision of this world was of him staring at her in disbelief and she couldn't hear him tell her the truth. He hadn't even believed the truth until he heard himself say it out loud.

"What have I done. ."whispered 002 but he hadn't done anything. It's so weird the way that things can happen the way they do. .it's so stupid that fate can be this way but again, you can't blame fate. Fate is just something that you think is there but you make things happen.

As for the gun, 003 typically couldn't die because she was a machine but this little invention by Black Ghost himself can freeze her then melt every mechanical thing inside her so she can't function and then just drift away. .
