Hello everybody! *shrinks back when she sees glares* Okay..okay..so this is late..I know…but I couldn't write, I was stuck in a non-internet or television area for a while. Honest!

DestinyLord7381: I agree, whenever I write a chapter for this story, I always feel the need for pudding…hmmm wonder why?
Lyle: *clears throat* I may seem sensitive, but…I am not. Just because I laugh or cry over every single review and write back, and happen to be a romance freak (yes I am a romance freak *looks funny* isn't it obvious?) doesn't mean I'm sensitive. *people stare* *sweatdrop* okay, okay, I'm admitting it, I'm sensitive.
Tell me more: Well, this chapter is longer then usual, I'm feeling nice. *smile*
The Black Ninja: Ah oh, well I hope I don't break your little sister's heart…too much.
AnT: *sniff* I do know how you feel Mallory, I practically cried when Sora didn't end up with Tai, I really hope you don't cry much…or squeeze Terra from happiness…much… and *crazy look* Of course my name isn't Fire's Dew, what do you think my parents would actually call me that? *laughs* Though it would be funny if they did…and yes, I LOVED your Hunimal story and as you probably read earlier, I'm PROMOTING IT! Read it folks! Of course read my story first, but read it after! ^-^
Shadow ninja: Don't worry I won't say the word 'cliffhanger' around you. *weak laugh* hee..hee…opps…

Medafan: I said sorry! Sheesh! Anyway, here's another chapter, I make you wait no longer!
Disclaimer: *sees glares* Okay, okay, I was wrong, here's one more thing to get through before the story. *clears throat* Medabots is not mine. What you think a person as crazy as me might own that kind of show? Don't answer that.
Now on with the story!
*~*~*~*~*
Erika lazily opened her eyes. Brass was staring down at her, blocking her view of everything.
"Hey Brass." She said smilingly crazily.
"I've just had the craziest dream. I dreamed Ikki told me he kissed me. Weird huh?"
A cough was heard in the background.
"Huh?" Erika got up and felt red some to her face.
"It wasn't a dream." Ikki told her, his face just as red.
"Hi Ikki." Erika said, the silence afterwards so awkward no one knew what to do.
….
….
….
As I said, the silence was so awkward no one knew what to do……
….
….
….
"PUDDING! MUST HAVE PUDDING!" The group looked over to Doctor Aki who had somehow removed his gag and ropes and was currently working on finishing off Henry's last supply of pudding.
"NO! MY PUDDING!" Henry jumped over the counter and grabbed Doctor Aki dragging him away from the pudding.
Ikki and Erika looked at each other. Both were thinking unique but alike thoughts.
'Ikki kissed me….me….wow…I wish I could remember…… Doctor Aki is weird.'
'Erika kissed me, it wasn't my fault! Honest! I didn't mean for it to happen…even if it was okay…I mean..I like Eri-Kar-Erika, no Karen..Argh!' Ikki growled fiercely, hands clenched into fists, slamming them down on the counter with the resounding of the 'bam' across the room in echoes.
Ikki opened his eyes to see the room silent, nonmoving…and looking at him.
"Are you okay?" Medabee asked his finger pointing to Ikki's hands, which were still on the counter.
"Of Course! I'm PERFECT! So because I'm Perfect, I'll just go home now!" Ikki snapped at Medabee, picking up his bag, and leaving the store in a furious pace.
"Okay…sheesh, be nice for once and where does it get you, snapped at, that's what! Hey, Ikki, wait up, you have my money!" Medabee called, leaving the store.
Erika sat down on the bench, her solemn face breaking out into a grand smile.
"Brrraaasssss." She called out in a singsong voice, beginning to dance in the aisles of the store.
"I'm going to get Karen, it's time we settled this for once and for all!" She declared, her face set in a mischievous grin.
"You mean settle the…."
"That's right! This has gone on for too long! Get everybody together, everything is going to come together! YAHOO!" Erika cried, jumping into the air, in her excitement giving Doctor Aki a pudding, Henry a dollar bill, an old lady a hug, and the chicken/rabbit guy a dollar before leaving the store.
"Ummmm…did I miss something?" Henry asked, looking at the dollar in his hand.
"You're so slow sometimes Henry. Erika is going to get the gang together to figure this circle stuff, she gave you a dollar so I can have my wonderful *smacks lips* pudding." Doctor Aki told him, slurping up the last of the pudding.
"And I'm going home right now to make some pudding." He said, easily swiping another pudding before Henry could stop him.
"Bye!"
Henry glanced around in the empty store.
"Well. That was interesting."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ikki sat down on the park bench, his mind fighting itself.
"Okay, time to do this rationally."
Picking up a place of candy wrapper from his pocket and a pencil from the other Ikki wrote down two names and a line dividing them.
Slowly he started to write pros and cons.
"Pro. Erika is my best friend. Con. She's a reporter. Pro. Karen is really nice and sweet, Con. She seems kind of slow sometimes. I can't figure this out."
Ikki dropped his head into his arms.
"Yo Ikki, you gonna stay like that all day?" Medabee asked, coming up to his medafighter.
"Maybe." Came out the muffled reply.
"Ya know, you have to make a decision about who ya like." Medabee lectured Ikki, sitting down on the bench beside him.
"I know. I just don't know who." Ikki said.
"I do. Who's your best friend, who sticks by you through thick and thin, who is really pretty, and sweet, and demure?" Medabee asked Ikki.
Ikki looked up at Medabee. "Medabee that's both of them." He said, giving Medabee the 'look.'
"Well, pick already, I'm not gonna give advice for free ya know, this one you have to do by yourself." Medabee told him, getting up again.
"Then why are you here?" Ikki asked, staring at his medabot with expressionless eyes.
"To warn you, Erika is going to come eventually so-"
"Hello boys!"
The two looked up to see a figure coming towards them, one that looked a lot like Erika. The two looked at each other once before the same action came to mind…
"RUN AWAY!"
A small woman stared after the boy and his medabot who had screamed and run away from her. Quickly she opened her grocery bag and pulled out a pair a bag of Brussels sprouts.
"Fifth time that's happened today, they don't smell that bad, but maybe I shouldn't cook these for supper…"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Erika stepped up to Doctor Aki's house, her camera ready and on hand, her tape recorder and microphone on, she was ready to complete her first mission before going on to the second.
"Who stole the famous duplicating pudding recipe? No ones knows, but I intend to find out!" Erika whispered into her microphone, while stealthily climbing into the house through an opened window.
"I'm in the home. Nobody seems to be here, but...wait! I hear something…."
Erika quickly hid in a closet, the door not completely closed behind her, but opened so that she could hear better.
"That's perfect, now only to get it to Doctor Aki."
"Yes, though, don't he think he might get suspicious?"
"No, but, I guess that pudding is somewhat odd, he might notice, but he'll be to busy eating it to notice."
Erika's ears perked up at the sound of 'suspicious' carefully, with as little sound as possible, she took off her microphone and placed it closer to the voices.
'Those voices sound familiar somehow.' Erika thought, but not daring to look. 'After all, they might be high level criminals set on conquering the world with one pudding at a time, starting with Doctor Aki who just happened to be the owner of the Medabot Corporation and though his knowledge could help them take-over and bring the world to their feet.' Erika paused.
'OH MY GOSH!' She screamed mentally. 'Not good, not good, not good! Eek! Have to find help! Wait a second…how do I know they're really criminals, they might be his maids or something.'
A sudden popping sound brought her out of her thoughts and back to the present.
"Oh, there it goes, do you think he'll be surprised?"
"Probably, it's wither he likes it or not."
"What if he doesn't?"
"Well…we'll think of something."
The footsteps gradually faded. Erika carefully peeked out of the closet…and was confronted by a twenty-foot pudding!
"Oh boy…" Erika gave a gasp when the pudding sudden gave a 'pop' and grow an inch. Looking around her, there was no escape. The pudding was so large that it had effectively cut off any route of escape.
A sudden grin grew on Erika's face when the realization hit her.
"What a great story!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That's it folks! Now, I promise to write a chapter by Tuesday, unless my family springs another surprise trip. Bye for now!
