Hello again!!!!! I got this chapter within half an hour from when I posted the last one! Not too bad if I do say so myself…

Hope you like this chapter!

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Does anyone read these, I mean, do they actually take the time to scrutinize the words, or if nobody writes these, do the lawyers actually take the time to charge somebody via the internet? So if I said I owned Medabots would I get prosecuted? Or would nobody notice?

….

Okay, okay, I don't own Medabots, don't leave! I'll stop now….

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

"I'm telling you Medabee, something is wrong with Erika." Ikki said, trying to convince his medabot and his best friend, Medabee that something was wrong with his friend.

"She's just acting like she always is Ikki, stop worrying, now how about working on my aim."

Medabee started firing in rapid secession on the bottles, hitting each on the first try.

"I don't think your aim needs work." Ikki said, observing the broken glass on the ground.

"You're right, let's work on endurance." Medabot yelled, grabbing Ikki while jogging towards Henry's store.

"How's running one block going to help your endurance?" Ikki asked, freeing himself from Medabee's grip and running along aside him.

"It's about the speed Ikki, the speed." Medabot stated. His pace slowing down slightly to meet his medafighter's.

"Anyway, Erika isn't acting any weirder then usual." Medabee continued stopping at Henry's store, eager to look at some of the newer medaparts.

"I'm serious, ever since that robattle with Space Metafighter X, she's been acting funny around me, usual she hangs out around us to get some new scoop, but now, I never see her anymore."

Medabee thought hard. 'It shouldn't be that hard to find out what is wrong with Erika…hmm…let me think….'

"I've got it!" Medabee shouted. Ikki turned to him eagerly.

"Yeah? Well, what is it?" He asked.

"Simple actually, Erika has a really embarrassing aunt visiting her house so she is avoiding you so that you don't see her and the fungus infection on her face that originated from Peru!" Medabee grinned to himself. 'Dude, I rock.'

Ikki fought back his laugh, but it soon came out of him in full force. Medabee frowned at Ikki's obvious display of disbelief.

"That's ridiculous Medabee! Where in the world did you get such a stupid idea?" Ikki laughed, oblivious of Medabee's death-glare.

"REDICULOUS! DID YOU JUST CALL MY STORY REDICULOUS? WHY I OUTTA-"

"Hi Guys!"

Both turned at the sound of the surgery-sweet voice.

With red hair, lovely complexion, and a sweet smile, it was no wonder Ikki became mush the instant he saw her.

"Hello Karen, may I buy you a sundae?" Ikki asked, her eyes glazed over in admiration for Karen, who was completely oblivious of Ikki's crush on her.

"Thank-you that would be wonderful." Karen said, her arm immediately taken by Ikki's hand as he dragged her into the store.

'Hmph.' Medabee thought. 'He didn't ask me if I wanted some ice cream.'

Of course, it didn't occur to him that he couldn't eat anything organic.

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

Koji frowned at the sight, scowled at the thought, wanted to THROTTLE IKKI FOR SEATING NEXT TO HIS KAREN!

Suddenly, he spotted a movement in the corner of his eye. Coming a little closer, he realized it was Erika, her camera posed on the unsuspecting couple and waiting.

Coming even closer, he noticed a few tear marks on her cheeks.

'Wonder what made her cry….' A small picture in her jumper made him start with shock, then realization.

'Erika has a crush on Ikki, but Ikki has a crush on Karen, but I have a crush on Karen, but Karen has a crush on…on…on…nevermind, this is like a soapopera, yuck!'

Having sorted everything out a brilliant idea came to his mind.

Walking towards Erika, he approached her casually.

"Hey Erika."

Erika looked up at the person. "Oh, Hi Koji." She said, immediately turning her attention back to the couple.

"How about we make a deal." Koji said, catching her interest.
"Like what?" She asked, a little suspicious, after all, Koji rarely made deals with anybody.

"I know you have a crush on Ikki." He stated calmly.

"WHAT!!!" Erika yelled, her mind whirling with thoughts. 'How could he find out? Nobody knows! Well, nobody except for my mom, dad, dog, Brass, Henry, I think Doctor Aki, the mailman, what a minute, did the mailman blab? Oh…I'll make him pay…'

"Hello, Earth to Erika, some attention back here?"

Erika glanced sharply at Koji.

"What's the deal?" She asked bluntly.

"Well, as you know, our dear Ikki likes Karen, and I like Karen, but you like Ikki, so…."

"So?"

"So, I'll take Karen to dinner, and you take Ikki along for a newspaper 'scoop', having dinner with Ikki, and at the same time, keeping him from ruining the dinner for Karen and I. So what do you think?"

Erika gaped at him in amazement. "That is a pretty good plan." She admitted, taking another glance at Ikki, just sitting there, and drinking his soda like there wasn't a care in the world….

"So, do we have a deal?" Koji asked, holding out his hand for the shake.

"Deal!" Erika said, shaking his hand firmly before she spotted someone sneaking in the store.
"HEY!"

The person jumped at the voice, then grabbed a few items and ran out of the store. Erika growled when she recognized him.

"DOCTOR AKI COME BACK HERE!"
