Lan Hikari grumbled loudly as Megaman yelled for him to get up. He
rubbed his eyes sleepily and looked at the clock, only to see that he had
less than five minutes to get dressed and get to school. "Aw man!" he
yelled as he ran to the bathroom at full speed, emerging about two minutes
later.
Megaman laughed as Lan picked up the PET and shoved it in its holder while he roller bladed out of the house. "I'm a Net Navi, Lan, I can't just shove you outta your bed!"
"Yell louder!" Lan panted.
-----
Lan slid into the classroom just as the last bell rang. His teacher looked down at him. "Lan, this is the fifth time this month you've showed up nearly late! Please try to set your alarm clock a bit earlier" she scowled, scribbling his name off of the absent list.
He nodded sleepily as he sat down next to Malu, resting his head and arms on the desktop.
The teacher sighed. "Now as I was saying, we have a new student joining us today, class. Please give a warm welcome to Kidaria Navi."
A dark, shoulder-length haired girl stepped up next to the teacher, her apparent family badge imprinted on the black bandana around her head. A few of the boys next to Lan whispered to each other, "She's pretty cute." The teacher continued. "Now, Kidaria, please tell us about yourself."
She looked up from the floor that she had been looking down at, and her electric blue eyes shone. More of the boys whispered, and Lan looked up to see what they were making such a big deal out of and saw her. 'Wow! She has really cool eyes!' he thought, suddenly interested in what this girl had to say.
She began slowly. "Please, call me Kida, ma'am. Uhm, my dad's a scientist and an engineer, my mom is a doctor and is still working where I used to live. Den-Tech City seems like a very nice place so far."
The teacher nodded. "Thank you, Kida. You may take a seat and we'll get started." The girl picked up a book bag, and walked to the back corner of the room.
-----
As the day went on, Lan kept looking back at this Kida girl, and saw a tear roll down her cheek. He watched her, confused. "What's she so sad about-?"
A soft voice came from his side. "Lan, she has a PET. I'll go talk to her Net Navi and see what's the matter."
Lan nodded, and Megaman emailed himself over to the new girl's PET.
-----
Megaman looked around the seemingly empty area. "Hello? Hey, is anybody here?"
There was no immediate reply, but after a short moment his reply came. "Yeah, just a sec." A female Net Navi stepped out, and Megaman looked her over quickly. She kind of looked like him, in the aspect that she had dark hair and the colors of her outfit were blue and black, however, her outfit was different. Her hair at the base of her helmet looked similar to Kida's, and she had brown eyes. The same badge as Kida's headband was imprinted on her chest, upon a shirt that ended midriff, with a black shirt covering her stomach. She had a thick belt that came to a point in the middle, which obviously held the skirt she wore. The skirt wrapped around her waist, and split completely down the sides, the front side much thinner then the backside. She blinked at him. "Hiya, what's your name?"
Megaman blinked also, and replied. "Hey! I'm Megaman, what about you?" He reached out his hand for her to shake.
"Xion. Nice ta meetcha, Megaman." She shook his hand. "I take it that you're one of the classes' Net Navis?"
He nodded. "Yeah. Lan Hikari's." He showed her the uplink.
"Oh! I saw him earlier. He seems nice enough."
He nodded again. "Yeah he is. We noticed that Kida was crying, and we wondered if we could help?"
"Kida? Yeah, she's been crying nonstop for days. Earlier today she was worried that she would start when they were making introductions, and I'm glad she didn't."
Megaman blinked. "Why is she so sad?"
Xion sighed. "Kida's always had to move around a lot. As soon as she makes friends in one area, they move again." She looked up at Kida, then back to Megaman. "It's been tough, for all of us."
"I can imagine. Hey, I've got an idea" He snapped his fingers. "Have Kida wait by the fountain at the park after school."
She smiled and nodded. "Sure"
He grinned and waved, "See ya then, Xion!" as he disappeared back to Lan's PET.
-----
Lan looked around the park fountain as he approached. "Hello?"
Kida turned around and looked at him. "Hi" she stood up and plugged her hands in her pockets. "Thought you weren't coming."
He sighed. "Sorry about being late, she kept me after class and lectured me on the importance of being on time."
She laughed weakly. "Don't worry, I'm not fond of mornings either."
He grinned at getting her to finally crack a smile. "So do you want to come over to my house to watch a movie?"
She nodded. "Sure!" She roller bladed over to him.
-----
As Kida sat down on Lan's couch and he popped the movie in, the two's Net Navis were conversing on stands on his coffee table. Lan sat down next to her and munched on some popcorn. "So you've had to move a lot, huh?"
Kida sipped her pop, and nodded. "Yeah. Dad's business calls for a lot of moving around from place to place, but I think we're actually staying this time."
"I've got an idea." Lan said, taking the movie out. "Let's watch this at your house."
She blinked. "Sure, if you want to."
-----
Lan stared around at the apartment he was in. "Wow! This place is awesome!"
Kida blushed, tossing her backpack on the table. "Yeah. Mom and Dad are hardly ever home, so I've got this place to myself." Megaman was looking around like Lan, and Xion giggled. He looked over at her and blushed.
Lan blinked and sat down on a stool at the kitchen. "So what company does your Dad work in?"
"Well, you know these?" she held up her PET and Xion waved at Lan.
"Yeah?"
"My dad invented them."
He nearly spit out his pop. "Are you serious?!"
She nodded, and pushed the movie in. "Yup. Dad's a really great inventor."
-----
Lan lied in his bed back at home after spending hours at Kida's house. She was even richer than Yai was! Megaman looked down at him. "Hey Lan, you still awake?"
"Xion. That name sounds so familiar."
Megaman nodded. "It should! In almost all Net Navi fanbooks, there're always articles about a Net Battle prodigy. They've been winning almost all the tournaments that they've ever been entered in! Xion was the first Net Navi ever created!"
Lan sat up straight. "-THAT- Xion? I always thought Xion was a guy! C'mon Megaman, you can't be serious about that innocent girl being a Net Battle Champion! There's no way!"
Megaman shrugged. "You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, Lan. Besides, they look strong to me, and they trust each other."
Lan lied back down again, resting his head on his hands. "I guess you're right."
"They were cu-"Megaman started, and stopped, blushing. "They seem strong to me."
Lan raised his eyebrow at Megaman, rolling over to face him. "You've blushed more in the past few hours then you have ever before."
Megaman laughed as Lan picked up the PET and shoved it in its holder while he roller bladed out of the house. "I'm a Net Navi, Lan, I can't just shove you outta your bed!"
"Yell louder!" Lan panted.
