Disclaimer: I really don't know why they put this up.. But I like it anyway, just so nobody will sue me if anyone would do that.. hehe
Author's note: This is my second Cyborg009 fic and I hope you like it. I just love playing around with these guys and too bad that the anime ended after they all evolved and had super cool powers and stuff. Anyway, This is again a Françoise and Joe fic. Because I think it's cute. But there would be so many parts about the others here. Not because it's a 009x003 fic doesn't mean I have to focus on them so much. That'll be boring. I'll try to lighten up the story a bit. I mean, I've been trying serious fics but they turn out to be sooo and waaay toooo serious. It's just not so me. Okay, I'm being dragged out here. On with the story!
Ballerina smile"All I can remember is her smiling at me as she playfully exited the room. Her heavenly smile remained in my thoughts as if it was her last smile for me."
Joe stood in front of the window watching the sea as it reflect the light of the sun. It was a pleasant sight indeed. He placed his hands on his waist while whistling some tunes he heard a while ago in the radio. Though Joe may be a cyborg, he still has some characteristics of a human. Like for example, having those what you call: 'Last song syndrome'.
Françoise entered the room quietly as she saw Joe standing in front of the window with a pleasant look marked on his face. She smiled looking at the sweet, young man and surprised him by covering his eyes. "Guess who?" She asked. Joe grinned and started to play along with Françoise's little joke. Although the question may be somewhat dumb, for everyone knows that Françoise is the only girl in the group and her playing 'guess who' games doesn't fit quite well, Joe did not want to spoil something like this. And also with the fact that 007 has the ability to transform, he might be playing a prank on him again as Françoise. "Hmm.. I wonder who could you be?" he chuckled as he tried to act as if he's having a hard time guessing. "Could it be 007?" He continued. Françoise gave out a giggle. "No." "Are you sure?" Joe asked again with a laughing tone behind his words. "Positive. Guess again." She giggled some more and Joe liked the sound of that so he continued to play some more.
"Hmm.. Could it be this ballerina I know.." His grin became wider than before and started to reach out for the culprit's hand. "Maybe.. Maybe not." Françoise chuckled. "Last." She continued. "If I get it right, could I have a kiss?" Joe asked. Françoise did not answer but instead made her grip tighter. "Guess." She finally jolted back. "Could it be my sweet dear Françoise?" He finally said. "No." Françoise insisted that he wasn't right which of course, he is. "Cheater." Joe frowned with Françoise's soft hands still over his eyes. "You give up so easily." She chuckled again and her hands were slowly detaching from Joe's eyes. Knowing that Françoise was off-guard, Joe quickly gripped the young woman's hands and then turned around to face her.
"I knew it, I won again." He smiled, as he held on to Françoise tighter and leaning over to kiss her. Françoise stopped him by quickly placing her hands over his lips. "Oh no you don't. I won't be having that today." She smiled and kissed him on the forehead. Joe let go of Françoise with a bit of disappointment on his face. Françoise looked at him and rolled her eyes. "Oh all right." She went back to Joe who was beaming all over and welcoming her with a warm embrace then they kissed.
It has been a year now since Joe finally had the courage to tell Françoise his feelings and propose to her after a couple of months. They were engaged and Joe never felt such happiness in his life. He slowly let go of his fiancé and held her hand. Come to think of it, the term 'fiancé' has this cute little sound that every time Joe uses that word to point out to Françoise, it made him blush like mad. He should definitely get used to it he thought.
Suddenly, a knock was heard from the outside. "Hey you two lovebirds better get out of there and fast or something else might come in to your mind.." Jet chuckled as he knocked on the door with the tune that is often used in weddings. "Quit it 002." Joe smiled and opened the door revealing Jet with a wide grin on his face. "What?" Françoise asked as she blushed at the sight. "Nothing." Jet continued as he grinned some more and made his way to the stairs. "Ignore him." Joe smiled at the lovely woman in front of him and together, they made their way to the dining room.
"So Joe, I'll be free today so I can accompany you to check on that travel agency." 008 opened up a conversation as soon as they started eating. "Really? That's great." Joe replied before munching on to some of the meat loaf 006 prepared. "That'll be an excellent idea. I'll go with you." 004 butt in. "That is.. if that's okay with you." He continued as he looked at Joe for any signs of approval. Joe looked at his friend and smiled. "Sure." He replied again. 007 took note that Joe was always smiling since he and Françoise got together and much more when they become engaged. Of course, 009 has the tendency to be shy on some things especially with girls, or in this case 003 that his friends have to help him in asking for 003's hand in marriage. 007 snickered and continued eating as if there was no tomorrow. "In any case, if anyone needs some hand I'll be downtown in my workplace." 005 smiled and was generous enough to lend his hand even if he is working. "Oh, that'll be okay 005. You just concentrate on your work we can handle things here. " 003 smiled at him giving out her thanks to the big guy.
A month from now, Joe and Françoise are finally getting married. That is why they are so busy preparing for it. Joe had to make reservations for their honeymoon and that's why he needs a travel agency to do it. Well they do have the Dolphin but as you know it, honeymoons are for couples not groups. As soon as everyone finished eating, each and one of them left for their own business. 005 out to work on the construction site while 004, 008 and 009 went out to the travel agency. 007 went upstairs to finish his novel while 006 cleaned around the kitchen and think of what to cook for the next meal and so on. 002 sat down to watch TV with doctor Gilmore joining him while 003 took care of 001. It was truly a typical but wonderful day around the beach house.
Suddenly, the phone rang but not loud enough for 001 to wake up. (Heck, even explosions and all sorts couldn't wake that baby up! And he doesn't even cry. Plus, you can even talk to him sensibly! Top that! I want that kind of baby! Gets dragged out) 003 hurriedly picked it up after seeing 002's reaction to the phone. He was of course, not happy about it because it was distracting his concentration on the tube. "Yes? Um.. yes.." 003 continued to murmur those 'yes' constantly and then finally placed it down. "Who was it?" Dr. Gilmore asked. "Oh.." 003 looked at the Doctor while beaming in delight. "It was about my dress.." She blushed. "Oh. What about it?" Dr. Gilmore asked again but with a seemingly irritating cheerful tone in his words. "They said I could pick it up now." She continued and approached the sleeping 001 arranging the blanket that covered him. "Then let me do the honor of picking it up." 007 butt in with a loud tone as if he was acting up on the stage. "What are you going to do? Wear it?" Jet gave out a laugh then stood up. "It's alright, I'll go pick it up myself." 003 said excitingly. "Whoopee." 002 mockingly said as he raised his arms above him as if praising someone of something. "Man, what is it with you girls and dresses?" He continued. "It happens to be something that I'm going to wear on the most important day of my life." 003 scowled and headed upstairs towards her room. "Now you did it." 007 elbowed his friend softly on the stomach. "I was just joking." 002 answered back. "Girls are sensitive for Pete's sake!" 007 slapped his hand against his face. "Now we, especially you should go upstairs and apologize.. Then WE accompany her to go and get that dress." 007 continued.
A few minutes later, Joe and the others are back from the agency. "What's going on?" Joe asked. "Oh nothing.. just a little argument about the most important dress for Françoise's most important day." 006 smiled. "What about it?" 008 asked. "Apparently, our rocket-powered friend thought his joke was something to laugh about but.." Dr. Gilmore sat down on the chair with a newspaper on his hand. "Oh boy.. what has he done again?" 004 crossed his arm and gave out a sly grin. "Where's Françoise?" Joe asked. "In her room." 006 answered. "Then I'll go.." Joe was cut off when 008 pulled him back. "I think our 'wise' guy is up there apologizing. Let's just let him apologize first and then you go up." He continued and Joe had no choice but to agree.
"Come on woman, forget about it then let's go get that dress of yours." Jet leaned on to the door. "…" Was Françoise's sole reply. "002, If you're gonna talk that way.. then nothing is going to happen around here." 007 turned his head from side to side while sighing. "Okay.. Damn it." Jet whispered then turned around to face the door again. "Look, I'm sorry okay? I did not mean to mock about the dress.. Although it really is funn.. ow!" Jet yelped as soon as he got a large bonk on the head from yours truly, 007. "Why don't I accompany you so you can go and pick it up…. Please?" Jet frowned but tried hard not to match it with the tone of his voice or else, Francoise would notice. After a few second of silence, Françoise replied with a 'yes' then slowly opened the door.
"Françoise, are you okay?" Joe asked with a worried look on his face. "Don't worry, nothing bad happened really.. 007 and 002 will accompany me to get my dress." She smiled at Joe and touched his face. Joe smiled back and held her hand. "That's right. I'll accompany her now.. and I hope you're happy about that." 002 scowled. "See 002, it's not so hard to ask for forgiveness once you try it." 007 smirked and gave the others a wink. The others wanted to laugh out real hard but they contained themselves or else 002 will switch on to berserk mode.
003 practically waltzed out of excitement as she went her way to the door. Joe was in some sort of a trance as she watched her every move. 007 and 002 followed her after then Joe snapped out of it and then smiled back at her beautiful fiancé who's waving at him goodbye.
'goodbye'.
The three walked around the city hoping to get to their destination as fast as they could. Well in 003's case, she was madly excited about getting her dress while 002 just wanted to get out of there and fast. 007 wasn't thinking about anything nonetheless. He just strolled happily at 003's side and talking to her about her and Joe's future plans. And much to the two cyborg's surprise they were already there at the wedding shop. "Well here we are Madame. Shall I escort you in?" 007 said as he bowed down and reached for 003's hand. 003 just chuckled as she handed her hand to the actor. "Wait.. don't tell me I'm going inside there?" 002 jolted. "What's the matter 002? You did promise that you will accompany us in picking up 003's dress.. you're not going to break that aren't you?" 007 asked. "No. But nobody told me I was going inside that 'all girly' place." 002 shivered at the store in front of him. "Well if you don't want to go inside, you can wait here." 003 frowned and went inside. "Suit yourself." 002 replied with a scowl. "We won't be long. So wait here." 007 followed his friend inside.
A few minutes later, 003 and 007 came out with beaming faces. It seems like they had a lot of fun inside while talking with the seamstress. "Okay. Since you accompanied me guys here, shall I treat you out for tea perhaps?" 003 offered and smiled at her friends. 007 bluntly said yes and 002 nodded anyway. 003 noticed that they are going to pass the construction site in where 005 is working. She quickly looked at her watch and turned back to face the two guys following behind her. "It's almost time for 005's break. Why don't we ask him to join us in a nearby café?" 003 continued. "Sure why not?" 007 agreed. 003 was acting so cheery today that he just can't seem to say 'no' to anything she asks. After all, Joe was also acting the same way. And he was happy about it nonetheless.
003 ran with glee to 005 who just spotted her awhile ago. She handed the dress to 007 and continued waving at 005. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks.
She completely heard and saw the truck sliding towards her but it was too late.
The truck hit her like mad and 003 was thrown to the other side of the street in where 005 was standing. The Native American wasn't able to do anything. He didn't even notice the truck and much more to his dismay, he wasn't able to get her out of the way. 007 and 002's jaws dropped as soon as they saw 003 land on the floor unconscious with bruises and blood flowing from a wound on her head. They ran towards her and shouted her name all over again. 005 carried the truck away so there will be a large space for 003 to breath. But 003 wasn't breathing at all. The hit may have caused her senses and nerves plus some of her mechanical part to stop functioning. 002 quickly carried her and flew to take her to Doctor Gilmore. 005 stood there as he looked at the 003's blood that stained the floor. 007 gripped on 003's dress. As soon as he got hold of himself, he told 005 that they should tell this to the others. 005 agreed as he ran while 007 transformed himself into a bird.
005 ran as fast as he could with worry in his eyes.
As to how they are going to tell the situation at hand, he doesn't know.. Especially to Joe.
