Sorry, people. The reason why this chapter took so long to write was because I had this huge writers block and it was worse than usual. Thank you to all of you who reviewed, that really helped me. This chapter is dedicated to DarkAngel004 and SweetDarkAngel009 and everyone who reviewed my story.

Chapter Three Consequences

003 ran back to her room before she was discovered. Panting slightly, she closed the door and leaned against it, trying to keep her thoughts together. She recollected herself and turned her thoughts to the conversation she had just overheard. She couldn't believe what 009 had just said about her. She had always thought 009 always protected her during missions and was so nice to her all the time because of the brotherly love he had for her, not this kind of love. At first she had strong feelings for him too, but she washed it away as soon as she saw him with her.

A long time ago, the 00 cyborg team found a girl named Cynthia who was kidnapped by the Black Ghost organization. (The episode is called operation auroras)They did it to motivate her father into finishing the ultimate weapon he was working on. At first, they tricked her father into believing that the production of the machine was for a good cause but when Cynthia's father had just found out Black Ghost's evil plan for his weapon, he had stopped working. With his one and only daughter held captive, he had no choice but give directions to finish it.

003 noticed that 009 had been very close to Cynthia and had always resented it. When Cynthia left, 003 saw that 009 had tears in his eyes, due to her amazing sight and could sense his great sorrow from him. From that moment on, 003 realized that 009 could pick whomever he wished to be his girlfriend; he didn't have to pick her just because she was a cyborg, like him. It had always been a dream of hers that 009 would see her as more than a friend, but her hopes were diminished that day. Now the day that she had been dreaming about had finally come, why wasn't she as happy as she had imagined?

She slid down to the floor, thinking. Then it hit her. She didn't want his love. It wasn't that she didn't love him back. She loved him more than anyone could imagine, but a relationship between them would mean that what happened to 009 today would happen many times again. If 009 found out that she also had feelings for him, he would love her more and that would evolve into a full-fledged romance between the two. He would start being more protective of her and wouldn't be able to concentrate on fighting the enemy cyborgs that Black Ghost sent after them because protecting her would be his main priority. 009 would be careless and would get hurt more often. As much as she would like to tell 009 her feelings, she couldn't let him get hurt Tears gathered in her eyes at the thought of never being able to call 009 her own, but there was no other way.

003 walked to her cabinet and picked up a little box with little ballerinas dressed head to toe in pink dancing across the surface and opened it. Inside was some lavender scented potpourri and in the center lay a little golden heart-shaped locket. She stared at it and memories came flooding back. The locket was given to her by all her friends at her ballet school as a going away present. She could still hear her best friend Natalie's voice,

"Francoise, this is a present from all of us to wish you luck in your ballet career. This way, we'll all be with you when you become famous, wishing you luck every step of the way." 003 picked up the little locket and pried it open. She had two pictures inside; one was of all her friends at her ballet school and one was of her and 009 with 001 in her arms. 003 smiled fondly at that picture.

'It almost looks as if we are a happy little family. Too bad that can never happen.'

"It's time for dinner! All of you better get down here before this pig of a cyborg eats all the food!" she heard 006 yell disgustedly. 003 giggled a little bit. 006 and 007 had never gotten along and probably never will. They were lucky 007 didn't hear him or else there would be a major cyborg fight right before dinner. She put down her locket and went downstairs. When she reached the dinner table she stopped dead in her tracks. What she saw was 006 standing on 007's head and banging on banging on it with a huge frying pan yelling for him to stop eating, everyone else was hungry too and 007 ignoring him and eating like never before.

"You'd think that he's never eaten anything in his life before." 002 muttered under his breath as he sat down.

"Stop eating! I worked very hard on this meal and I want the others to taste its magnificence! You've had enough! Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!!!!!!!!!"

"Well, I'm hungry too and *chew* I want *chew* to eat *chew* without *swallow* a fat dumpy man banging on my head. Is that too much to ask?"

"WHAT!!!!!! You'll pay for that 007! *jumps off 007's head, grabs a plate of fried rice and throws it onto him* GOTCHA!"

"A cowardly assault. Attacking a knight while his guard is down? This means war, in the form of a..FOOD FIGHT!! *takes soup, throws it at 006 but misses, hitting 004*."

"Why you.. take this! *throws noodles*"

After she had heard all this, 003 did the only smart thing to do. She ran.
