Disclaimer: I don't own Cyborg 009…. Wish I really, really, did.. Cause if I did, I would make lots of 009x003 fluff in it… and some really cute parts for the others… Especially Jet. ;

Jet strolled down the city with his hands inside the pocket of his jeans. He whistled some fun tunes while gazing at the scenery of busy people around him. He thought of getting some snacks when he passes by a food stall or some kind, beside him was a very pretty French woman in a white slip-on dress.

Record screeches

A pretty French woman in a white slip-on dress you say? Yes. Indeed there was a pretty French woman in the said dress walking beside him. And it wasn't just any woman it was Francoise, Joe's girlfriend, fiancé and soon to be wife… at least.. that's what was suppose to happen if Francoise didn't encounter THAT accident.

"So…003…what do you wanna do?" Jet asked the shy girl beside him that didn't seem to take off her hand from Jet's polo ever since they got out of the Professor's cottage. "You.. can at least let go now." Jet continued and Francoise bowed down her head to apologize. Jet can't seem to help it but he is aware he is acting so nice around her. Sure he was aware that she acts so innocently stupid and shy that he can't seem to help but act as a.. what do you call it?

' Brother. '

"Well? I don't have all day.. I only said a walk.. so we grab something to eat then stroll around then go back.." Jet looked again. Francoise kept on blushing out of shyness because she can't seem to make herself relax even if she wanted to. "Anything…" She finally answered back. "Okaaaay.. but no frowning if you don't like what I give you." Jet looked back at her and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not Joe.. I don't know what you hate or what you like." He continued and grabbed her hand.

"Where is she?" Joe asked the other 00 Cyborgs as soon as he got home with swollen eyes and stuff. Everyone looked at him in an uneasy way and tried to think of something to say or at least how they are going to tell Joe that Jet took her out for a walk in this very critical moment. "Well?" Joe asked again noticing the nervous faces of his comrade. "No use hiding it anyway.." Albert finally blurted out. "Wait! He'll kill us!" G.B. kneeled down and begged not to tell. "He'll know it anyway!" Albert debated back. "What is going on here? Where is she?" Joe asked with worry in his eyes. They are hiding something and it was so obvious. "Well.. you see 009.. 002 took her out for a walk." Albert then announced while G.B, in his chibi form held on to his leg trying to stop him. "He did what?!" Joe yelled back. "002 took her out for a walk." Pyunma repeated the answer. "Why didn't you stop him? Francoise can't go out there at a time like this!" Joe yelled again hysterically and looked like he was about to explode. "We did what we could 009.. But we cannot keep her locked up here forever.. I strongly suggest that we make her comfortable and calm so we can at least help out a bit in her condition." G. Jr. calmly said. "I agree with 005. After all, all of us are a bunch of new faces to her." Chang continued. Joe looked back at his comrades and had no choice but to agree. "Alright.. But I'll go and follow them." He finally answered back. "I'll go with you." Albert raised his hand and went directly to the door.

"Dr. Gilmore… Take a rest." Ivan suggested as soon as he woke up and seeing the tired doctor in front of him. "I would love to 001.. but I can't rest until I find a cure for 003." The Doctor answered with a tired voice. "If only I could help… If this goes on.. I don't know what would happen to our lives especially 009.. and me.. Who would take care of me?" Ivan continued. Sometimes there are limits in power to a psychic baby.

"Tell me Jet, this Joe.. What is he like?" Francoise looked at her comrade while stirring up her coffee. "I was hoping you could tell me.. You know him better than I do. But.. As a friend.. he's really a nice guy.. too nice really. However, he's strong when he really needs to.. And he spent most of that strength in protecting you." Jet mumbled. Silence covered the two for a brief moment and Francoise decided to tear it apart. "Is he really my.. Am I really getting married?" Francoise asked and bowed down her head. "Well.. for starters yeah… but then you suddenly forget about it…" Jet looked at the French girl in a sincere face. "Did I really get amnesia?" Francoise asked innocently as she traced the sides of her cup. Jet looked at her again then nodded. "It was really an accident then… You really don't remember anything about it?" The rocket-powered man asked. "No.." Was Francoise's sole reply. Jet took his cup and sipped a bit of coffee from it. He thought that Francoise may not remember for now, but surely she will one of these days. He decided to be patient about it and concentrated on how he could help. "Am I a bother?" Francoise asked again. "Why'd you ask?" Jet turned his head around to face his female comrade. "I was just thinking… I woke up with absolutely nothing to remember and he's there.. sitting beside me as if he was waiting for me to wake up.." Francoise stopped and placed her cup on the table but still gripping it tight. "He was.. so sad…I just hope I could remember at least something so he won't be like that." She continued as she leaned over to rest her head on the table. "And also.. I don't want to be like this.. You all know me.. But I don't know anything about all of you… Am I happy back then when I can remember?" She looked up at Jet who was now scratching the top of his nose. "Yeah.. you were. I can tell. And I wanted it that way too to be honest.. But I don't know what to do." Jet bowed down his head then stood up. "Come on.. before it gets dark." He continued as Francoise followed behind him again.

"Fran used to love walking around here with me.. I always liked her when she's beaming at me happily.." Joe whispered as Albert walked beside him in a park. "Hey.. Come on now… Just because she can't remember you doesn't mean you have to treat her like she's already dead." Albert inserted. "It's not her who I feel is dead.. It's me.. She's all I have really.. And I wished it was me who.." Joe's words were cut off when Albert placed his hand over his shoulder. "Hey now.. no blaming ourselves okay? She'll be okay… Once we try our best and put all of our hope in it and faith in her, she'll survive this and you." The German man tried to cheer up his friend but to no avail. "But what if she.." Joe's eyes were starting to water again. For someone so strong like him, he gets so weak at times like these. "Weren't you the one who always said that all you have is faith in yourself?" Albert asked as he kept on walking. Joe stopped in his tracks and looked at the tiles on the floor. "Where's the man who always said that now? I don't see him. All I see is one scared guy." Albert kept on talking and walking. He didn't mean to be rude to his friend, but he was showing no sign of any hope and courage that could at least help him face all the problems that he is facing now. Sure, it hurts a lot when you're getting married and all of a sudden your fiancé forgets you and all that you have been through. At least Joe won't have the pain of being left behind just because of someone else. "Francoise will be back to you I swear it." He continued as he turned around to face his friend who looked back at him and nodded.

"Hey look.. Isn't that 009 and 004?"  Jet yelled like mad and waved to his friends for them to notice him. Francoise hid behind him again as he walked toward his friends. It was clear that Francoise was shy to his other friends and that she was only close to him, maybe because he was the only one who didn't feel awkward when with her. "Come on.. You're Joe's there." Jet turned to face Francoise and pointed to the two who was closing in on them. "I…" Francoise bowed her head down again. "Now come on.. you don't have to be shy to them.. They are nothing special really.. And besides… They are your friends too. Now quit it already and try talking to them." Jet grabbed her hand and pushed her forward. Francoise's eyes widened as she bumped into Joe. Joe caught her and looked at her. "Are you okay?" He asked. This time, he tried to keep himself calm in Francoise's presence. The girl just looked back at Jet who in turn signaled her that it was okay. She put back her gaze at Joe and replied: "Yes.. I'm fine thank you." She blushed. Joe smiled back at her after seeing her shy, innocent face. "I'm glad." He replied and did not let go of his grip at the French woman. Albert and Jet looked at the two. Indeed that scene was a sight that they surely missed. Often times they always see or catch the two in each others arms before.. but now it seemed to be a rare event. Francoise could not help it but a tear came out from her eyes. Joe was surprised to see her shedding a tear for no reason. "What's the matter?" He finally asked and leaned over to look at her face. "I…I don't know…. All of a sudden… these tears…." Francoise continued wiping them out but to no avail. Somehow, something triggered her tears to fall but she doesn't have any idea. Albert was surprised at what happened. There was no trace of Francoise in pain or any emotion that could make her cry. It was as if her tears had their own mind and decided to fall. "It won't stop…" Francoise shivered. This time, she was feeling fear all over her then she turned around and ran over to Jet. "Jet, they won't stop…" Francoise buried her face on Jet's shirt. Joe and Albert could not believe what they are seeing. Jet was acting so nice with the French girl and the same goes to Francoise. It was a rare and scary sight.. After all these years, Jet and Francoise seem to be getting along which was the opposite of what they were before. "Um… o-okay… try to stop shivering so it would stop. Cause you're adding more tears to it." Was Jet's reply as he held on to Francoise's head and rubbed it gently. "But.. I'm scared.. They just came out of nowhere.." Francoise continued. Joe wanted to hold her but she chose to cry on Jet's shirt. It pained him so much not being able to comfort her when she's like that. "Well.. in my point of view, they came out from your eyes." Jet snickered. Albert wanted to hit him on the head for that stupid comment but instead looked at Jet with his eyebrows raised. Francoise laughed at what Jet had said awhile ago and stopped shivering and crying. Joe stepped forward and announced that they should go home already. He reached out for Francoise's hand, which she shyly took and walked back home with them.

"Everything will be alright. I should be happy that she's still here with me. She'll be back eventually." Joe smiled as he gripped Francoise's hand and looked at her.

Albert looked at Jet.. he wasn't feeling anything good about what was happening and he felt like he did not want to know what was going to happen next.
