August 3 - Later on
----------
I went to talk to Zero earlier. He offered to take me to DQ before I even suggested it! I swear, sometimes he must be psychic.
He even said it'd be his treat. I objected, but he insisted... And well, how could I resist? Free ice cream for me! Yay!
We got into some street clothes... Yeah, I'd forgotten how good it felt to wear normal clothes. They're so...loose. And comfy.
Zero let down his hair and put on some shades. I said he looked like some sort of hippy lion, hahaha.
We actually managed to get out without being jumped by some important-document-wielding commander! Wow! Of course, we do know several ways to get out unnoticed, but we took the easy and most obvious way. I guess we're lucky?
When we got to DQ, we ordered some of those oreo ice cream things...God, those're so GOOD. My favorite, in fact. And the fact that Zero was paying made it even better.
I had almost forgotten what usually happens when we go out someplace these days, though... Someone comes up to us suddenly, gasping, and suddenly it's "OMG OMG YOU'RE...YOU'RE...YOU'RE..."
And at this point I'm sighing and Zero's trying to hide inside his hair.
And it continues: "ROCKMAN X AND ZERO OMG YOU SAVED THE WORLD!!!"
And we're both like "I know..."
And the person keeps going, "I ADMIRE YOU BOTH SO MUCH CAN I HAVE AN AUTOGRAPH/TOUCH YOUR HAIR???!!!"
We decided to humor the poor guy, since we're not mean. It was a bit awkward though, since around now everyone in the entire restaurant was staring at us.
We were hoping people wouldn't recognize us out of armor, too... They rarely do.
We gave the guy our autographs (my incredibly huge "X" ~snrk~) and Zero let him molest his hair, haha... I don't know why, but most of the time this happens, whether it's a guy or a girl, they always want to feel his hair.
Hmm, when I think about it, I want to, too, but... er... Anyway, after the guy went away (going "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!"), we pretty much had to take the rest of our ice cream and leave, since everyone was still staring. That's very unnerving, you know.
We didn't want to go back to the base quite yet, though, 'cause we knew they'd swamp us with more crap to fill out immediately. (Zero told me he'd been signing stuff as just "0" lately, hehehe... He said we should buy marker stamps to sign things eventually, too. Why didn't I think of that?)
So anyway, we spent some time at this bay a few miles away. Yeah, it took a while to walk there, but it was a nice walk. It was a nice day, too--sunny and breezy. I almost wished we could fly a kite instead.
We got to the bay. The water there looks...green. An ugly kind of green... Something's got to be done about pollution. Luckily, the sun started setting, so it looked sort of a reddish-orangey-brownish color after a while.
There was one of those viewfinder things. Besides old slightly corroded ships in the distance, there really wasn't much to look at through them, but we decided to anyway. (And he paid for that, too! I saved 25ยข, yay!) We got a nice close view of the greenish water.
We mostly chilled out there until it started getting dark. I tell you, I was happy.
And I don't know why, but when Zero turned his head from the sunset to me and smiled, I blushed. He noticed, too... Man did I feel embarassed. Especially when he said something. He said,
"Heh heh, X, you're cute."
My face felt like an oven. I bet it was even redder than the sunset. I just kept looking away until it went away.
The stars started coming out... They were pretty. I'd liked to have watched them, but Zero said we should probably go back to the base. I decided to go with that. It was getting sort of cool out, anyway...
And now, here I am, rambling in my Diary.
I think I'm going to go to sleep now... I hope no one bugs me.
Unless it's Zero.

Ah. It was X at the door, all right. I offered to take him to Dairy Queen on my treat, 'cause I was feeling generous. He seemed really surprised. Dunno why.
It was fun getting dressed to go out...Ah, street clothes. X said I looked like a hippy lion or something. It wasn't THAT bad. Well, maybe I did need to comb my hair a little.
I am not a hippy.
Anyway, we walked to DQ without even being stopped by someone on our way out of the base. That was great. I wish we could sneak out that easily often.
We had some of those oreo things--the icecream with oreo clumbles in it--those things are GODLY. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat them in peace. This random "fan" of ours came up and started freaking out. I was hoping this wouldn't happen. He was like "OOOH MYYYY GOOOOD!!! ROCKMAN X AND ZERO!!!" And etc. and so on. Good God. He asked for our autographs and...to...feel...my...hair. Okay... I don't know why everyone always asks that whenever this happens. I mean, my hair IS pretty kickass, but...
Yeah. That was WEIRD. Luckily he went away after we gave him what he wanted. I am SO GLAD there weren't any fangirls around.
Then again, there might have been some in the place. Everyone was staring after that, so we decided to go.
We didn't head home right then. We went to the bay instead. Looked through a telescope thingy. There wasn't much to look at, but hey, it was just for random fun.
We both kinda looked at the sunset after that. X was being all cute and blushing... He blushed even more after I told him he was cute. And he was...hehehe...
After that, we got back to the base because it was getting dark. I was a bit bushed, too; laying around in the infirmary for a couple of days makes you lazy.
And now I've been laying around in my room. Might as well go to sleep.
