While Megaman slept, Lan had gotten up and was instant messaging a
friend he had met earlier on a Net Navi fansite. He typed in slowly, as he
was really tired. "It's weird though. This new girl comes to school for one
day, and it turns out she's rich and a really talented Net Battler!"
The IM returned his reply. "Wow. That's awesome! What about that Roll girl you were talking about?"
"I have no idea. I thought for sure that Megaman had a thing for her, but now I don't know a thing about it. I just hope that nothing weird will happen."
The reply came again. "You said her name was Kida Navi, and her PET is Xion?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. It says here that they've been Net Battling for quite a while now. Holy cow! They've also won ever tournament they have ever been entered in!"
Lan yawned and looked at the clock, seeing it was nearly 3 A.M. "But what should I do about Roll and Malu?"
"No clue, buddy. Relationships have never been my thing."
Lan sighed. "Okay, thanks anyways. Hey, I'm gonna go to sleep. See ya tomorrow."
"Yup."
Lan shut off his computer and lied down on his bed.
-----
Meanwhile, back at his 'friends' house, a man with light blonde hair was grinning. "So, the little 'hero' has a weak spot, does he? Well, I'm sure we can take care of that, can't we, Demonman?"
A voice came from his PET. "Of course we can."
-----
The next day, Lan woke up groggily and looked at his clock. "Awww man!!!" Once again, he was going to be late. Megaman waved to him cheerily. "Good morning, Lan!" Lan stared at him while pulling his shirt over his head. "Did you even –TRY- to wake me up this morning?"
"I do every morning, Lan, you just never listen!"
Lan sighed and shoved the PET in its holder as he ran out the door. "Remind me to turn up your volume before I go to bed."
-----
The day passed as slowly as ever. Lan was told repeatedly that he should go to bed earlier, but he didn't pay much attention. As he walked outside with Kida, he met his group.
"Kida, I'd like you to meet Malu, Dex, and Yai. There's one more guy but I think he had to go home early today."
Kida nodded to them all. "It's very nice to meet you!"
Meanwhile, in their PETs, Megaman was introducing Xion to the others. "Xion, this is Roll, Gutsman, Glide, and Iceman I guess you'll meet later."
Roll said her hello, but she kept watching Megaman to see his reactions. In all honesty, she was used to being the only girl, and having all the guys' attention. Now, she was going to have to share that, and that was not something she looked forward to.
Glide was next to speak. "Xion, I believe I have read about you. You were the first Net Navi created, weren't you?"
She blushed and scratched the back of her neck. "Yeah, that's me."
Gutsman stared. "First, ever?"
"Yup. That's right."
Glide spoke again. "What is your battling style?"
Xion shrugged. "Kida and I change our battle style constantly. That way, when we're in a battle where people know about our battle style for one tournament, they are completely surprised when we pull out a different one."
Megaman nodded. "That's a really good strategy."
Yai put her hands on her hip and looked at a nearby clock. "I would love to stay and get all close, buddy-buddy style, but we have to practice Net Battles. Kida, you wanna come?"
Lan nodded. "Of course she wants to come, Yai-"
Kida answered as well. "No, I'm sorry, I can't."
Everyone, including Lan, stared at her. Lan spoke first. "Wait, I thought you wanted to-"
"I'm sorry, Lan. I can't right now. Uhm, if you all want to come to my apartment later tonight, Lan'll show you where it is. I'll see you soon!" She jogged off towards the direction of the park.
-----
Later on, on the way to Yai's house so they could take the limo over to Kida's house, Lan was talking to Megaman.
"I don't get it, Megaman, why wouldn't she want to Net Battle if she wins all of these tournaments and things? Wouldn't you think she would jump at the chance to Net Battle?"
Megaman shrugged. "I don't know, Lan. I would've thought that too. But Xion got as hasty as Kida did when Yai mentioned Net Battles."
"You don't think she's going to start being in Net City Battles, do you?"
"I guess she might be, but seeing as how she reacted today, I don't think she would."
Lan sighed and put his hands behind his head. "Megaman, girls are very complicated."
Megaman laughed. "Yeah they are."
Lan stepped through Yai's front gates, and they left again (in a pink Limo) a few minutes later.
-----
Kida smiled and greeted them all as they stepped into her house. Everyone, besides Yai of course, was as taken aback at the apartment as Lan was. There was a huge screen set up to a PET outlet, like the one at their hangout. Xion was already jacked into it. She waved to them all. "Hiya everybody!"
Lan grinned. "Alright! Jack in, Megaman. Power up!"
"Jack in, Roll. Power up!"
"Jack in, Glide. Power up!"
"Jack in, Iceman. Power up!"
Their five Net Navis stood and looked around the area that they were in. Megaman stared. "Whoa."
Xion nodded, and Megaman noticed her outfit had changed. "This is the environment system. It's the same basic technology as Net City. For instance, this is the rain forest environment. And now." She blinked and it changed. "This is the Arctic environment." Iceman looked so happy, he could have cried.
Malu blinked at Xion and Megaman. "Wait, Xion, wasn't your outfit different?"
Kida blinked at Malu, and looked at Xion from the couch. "Huh? Oh yeah. My dad taught me a lot about Net Navis when he first made them, and now I can almost make a complete one by myself, but I'm best at outfit design, so I change Xion's a lot. The outfit you saw earlier is her battle outfit. This one is her favorite."
Xion looked down at the jeans and T-shirt she was wearing. "This is my 'Relax-at-home' outfit." She looked up and saw Megaman looking at her appreciatively, and blush. She giggled, and Roll looked as if daggers were coming out of her eyes.
Kida stood up. "Oh. Almost forgot." She opened the door to the kitchen and piles of food to munch on were everywhere. "Now, what do you guys want to do?"
Dex ran into the kitchen. "EAT!"
The others laughed nervously. Lan grinned. "A movie sounds good. What'dya think, Megaman?"
Megaman was talking to Xion, and nodded to Lan. "Sure thing! A movie sounds great."
They all stayed over for quite a while, laughing and eating, and it seemed too soon that they had to leave.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Kida!"
Kida and Xion waved to them all. "See you later!"
Little did they know that they had been watched the entire time. "Yes, the girl is definitely Megaman's weak spot. Heh. Looks like I'll be able to take two birds with one stone."
Demonman laughed. "Right."
The IM returned his reply. "Wow. That's awesome! What about that Roll girl you were talking about?"
"I have no idea. I thought for sure that Megaman had a thing for her, but now I don't know a thing about it. I just hope that nothing weird will happen."
