To avoid Ribbitta, Lan exited the Center from the request room and
walked up the stairs closest to the metroline. Just when Lan entered the
station, his stomach growled. The gurgly sound echoed against the concrete
walls. Some of the people waiting for the metroline glared at him.
"Heh, heh. Guess I'm a little hungry, huh Megaman?" Lan placed a hand over his stomach to mute the noise in case his stomach decided to place another verbal complaint.
"Just a little. why not have lunch at Kotobuki? We could say hi to Sean too."
"We might not get to Dentown in time then." Lan picked up a ticket for Dentown to use after lunch. The Kotobuki, Dentown, and Government Complex stops had been recently added to the metroline. After the WWW incident, the stops had been closed for repair. But now they were open to everyone again. Even the Kotobuki stop opened up after the radiation was filtered out of the area.
"We'll just eat lunch here at the harbor." Lan went outside and took a seat at the Diner. The waitress walked over.
"Hi Lan!" She said gleefully.
"Hi." It was odd how everyone knows your name after saving the world twice. "BLT please?"
"I never liked the lettus on a BLT. So bland and tasteless. Should be BT." The waitress trailed on.
"I don't see anything wrong with lettus." Lan pondered.
"And to drink?"
"Orange soda please?"
"No problem, I'll be back in a sec."
Lan took a deep breath and sighed.
"I don't mind the adventure and all. But I could do without the fame. Before Ribbitta, no one knew what you and I looked like."
"Yeah. Now no one will even battle us. except for fan boys and thrill seekers." Megaman pouted.
"Even worse is the Megaman look-a-like Navis kids are buying." Lan sounded even more miserable than Megaman. The waitress then came out of the kitchen and walked to Lan's table.
"So you guys were on the news earlier, right?" She asked cheerily while placing down the sandwich on the plate and the glass of soda.
"Not by choice." Megaman sighed.
"She has this thing about shoving a microphone in your face." Lan was covering his face. He hoped no one else would see him and bring it up.
"From what I heard, she kind of caught you and Megaman off guard. But it is kind of scary having a Navi that can attack humans directly." Lan rolled his eyes. Ribbitta got another viewer hook, line, and sinker. And the waitress didn't even SEE the news that day.
"I wouldn't worry about it." Lan found himself reassuring the girl. "The Center is working on it, and they seem to be getting along well."
"Coming from you, that means a lot, you know? Why didn't you say that to Ribbitta earlier?"
"I woke up at 9:00! I didn't even know anything until I came to Marine Harbor. And then she shoved the mic in my face."
"Ah. Well, see you later!" The waitress returned to the other tables she was working. Lan finished his soda and sandwich quickly, as not to remain around the busy hub of gossip much longer. Within minutes, Lan and Megaman were on their way to Dentown.
