Me and my temporary operator Zeak were outside. I asked Zeak why he was waisting so much time running around his neighborhood. He replied "I'm looking for Pete." and when I asked him who Pete was he replied "My dog. He got out and that's why I'm running around the neighborhood, I'm looking for him.". As confused and disagreeing with this as I was…I said not much at all to stop him.
Zeak ran down the road one last time. He had been chaseing Pete for 2 hours now. Zeak stopped for a minute to catch his breath. There Zeak was, bending over and panting. Pete was fast, and he was actually a very small dog. He was only about one foot and six inches from his head to his tail, and he could outrun Zeak like he was nothing. Zeak wasn't all that fast, but he wasn't a slowpoke either.
"That dog is fast…" Z-00 observed from the inside of the PET.
"I know that Zero…" Zeak said sounding frustrated.
"Ah…I told you…"
"Told me what?"
"That you were one of the chosen ones…"
"I told you, I don't know anything about any 'chosen ones'…" Zeak argued.
"Than how did you know my dubbed name…?"
"Because you…uh…you…" Zeak thought for a minute, how did he know what Zero's nickname was?
"I what? Told you? No. I told you my name was Z-00. Very few know my nickname…you are one of them…"
Zeak stood there for a minute and thought "Well, whatever…" Zeak concluded.
"Oh, and I suggest you use a more strategic approach in trying to catch this dog of your's. Got it Zeak? Zeak? Zeak? ZEAK!?" Zeak was ignoring Zero, he had already started running again, and so did Pete. They ran and ran for a few minutes until at one point Pate stopped. He was sniffing a tree in front of someones house. Zeak figured it was a good time to nab him [or is it?] so he slowly crept over to Pete, being very quite. He knew that Pete could hear him loud and clear, but their was less chance of him running if Zeak went slow. He crept up quitley step by step. Then when the right moment came…
"Gotcha!" Zeak lunged forward to grab Pete he felt his right hand touch the back of Petes right ankle, but at what appeared to be the speed of sound: Pete zipped away. This caused Zeak to land flat on his face on the soft grass. Zeak rolled over, he had his eyes closed, he used this opportunity to continue to pant, and try to catch his breath. He sat there for a minute, he could feel the warm sun, and the morning air blowing on his face. It was unusually warm weather for October, but it was nice. He layed there for a minute until he heard a door opening and closing, followed by some footsteps in the grass.
The Person who's lawn I'm laying on is probably coming out to complain…
Zeak just layed their still, panting. He was to lazy to even get up. His last bit of energy was put into that leap, he had just made. He layed there waiting for some old man to yell at him to get off his lawn, but that's not what he heard.
"Hey are you o.k.?" The voice was that of a young lady's, about Zeaks age.
"Yeah…pant I'm fine its just…" Zeak opened his eyes only to see a [as a said before] 13 or 14 year old girl smiling down at him. Zeak paused for a minute.
Hey she's…pretty…
Rowa-(Explanation: whenever the narrarator starts talking about another character you will see this "" and then "whoever the narrorator is talking about"
The blonde boy looked up at her kind of funny, his eyes were kind of wide. He didn't look like he had seen a ghost but it was not a plain expression.
"…its just what…?" She asked.
"It's just…" he continued "…hey wait a minute!" he said but not in japenese, instead in perfect non-accent English "You're not Japanese…". He got up and dusted himself off.
"Is that a problem?" Rowa asked returning the English comment with English, not to mention a surprised and confused look.
"Oh no! I didn't mean it that way. I'm just a little surprised that's all. I mean their's not a lot of Americans around here, know what I mean?" he explained. Her expression changed back to the kind and agreeing smile "…I was chaseing my dog and I guess I got kind of tired…hes pretty fast…" he continued.
"Maybe I could help." Rowa said.
The boy's smile got bigger like he was going to laugh "I really don't think so…"
"What you don't think a girl is fast enough?" she questioned.
"Well no, actually I just don't think a human could him. Not unless they've got a mountain of steaks, or an opened car door." he joked.
Rowa folded her arm's and they both stood there for a second, then they noticed something brown and blurring zipping toward them.
"There he is!" the boy exclaimed. The dog was there where they were standing less than a second later. He just circled around them at about 50 mph about 20 times.
"That stupid dog! He's mocking me!" Zeak said, but with that same sound in his tone that made you think he was going to laugh.
Right then Rowa sqauted down and held out her arms. Right then the dog stopped and jumped into Rowa's arms. She picked him up Pete licking her face.
Now the blonde boy looked like he had seen a ghost "Whoa…" Rowa smiled at him.
"This you're dog?" she asked with a smile.
He smiled back "Smart dog…I guess he knows a pretty girl when he see's one."
"You think I'm pretty?" she asked.
"Well…" the boy was interrupted by a beeping noise coming from his PET not to mention his PET's screen was flashing red. He picked it off his belt and pressed a button and the beeping and flashing stopped.
"What is it Zero?" he appeared to have asked the PET.
But then a similar noise came from Rowa's PET and the screen was flashing purple.
I wonder what she wants?
Rowa picked up her PET, pressed a button and the noise stopped "What is it Iris?"
"Iris?" a voice came from the boy's PET.
"Zero is that you?" Iris asked from within Rowa's PET.
"Ah…I thought that DNA data I detected looked awefully familiar. How fortunate that our operator's have run into each other. This way we don't have to go and find one another…" the voice continued.
"You two know each other?" the blonde boy asked.
"Yes this is my boss that I told you about…" Zero explained.
"You're boss?" the blonde boy asked.
"Yes. Iris, I would like you to meet Zeak."
"Nice to meet you Mr.Richardson." Iris replied "Zero meet Rowa."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms.Crystal." Zero said.
"But how did you know my last name?" Zeak asked.
"And mine?" Iris asked.
"Oh we know all kinds of things about the two of you…" Iris said.
"Well anyway." Zero started "Our next objective is to locate Mr.Hikari and Ms.Sakurai."
"Who are they anyway…?" Zeak asked.
"Mr.Hikari is the boy who deleted the Life Virus and Gospel…" Zero answered.
"Ohhhh!" Zeak started "That kid!"
"And Ms.Sakurai is the one who deleted Gaidun." Iris said.
"Who?" Rowa asked.
"Iris that hasn't happened yet…" Zero said.
"Oh yes! How stupid of me." Iris said "…well anyway Ms.Sakurai should know Mr.Hikari. And…hey wait a minute…whats all that on Zeak's PET?"
"Upgrades." Zero answered "…oooooo it looks like the leader forgot to bring the upgrades for her temporary operator…" Zero continued in a teasing tone.
"Hey! So I made one slip up! You screw things up all the time!" Iris said.
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Why you ugly little ignoramus!"
"You randomized jerk!"
"HEY! Stop fighting already! Jeeze!"
"But anyway, we have to find Mr.Hikeri and Ms.Sakruai before…" Zero continued.
Zeak interupted "Cut out this Mr/Ms crap! What are their first names already!?"
Zero's town sounded very frustrated now "LAN and MAYL!"
