Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 11 – Good Food, Good Friends
It was a week after the day at the fairground. It was the weekend again and Lan and I left the house to find a small surprise. Across the street Maddy and Mr. Match were carrying a table into an old building. We ran across to see what was going on.
"Hey you guys. What are you doing?" shouted Lan. They put the table down and turned to us.
"Hey it's Lan and Sarah," said Mr. Match.
"Thanks to Zaps money we got these premises," said Maddy proudly.
The building didn't look like anything to be proud of. It had been left for two years I'd heard.
"Are you sure?" I said, "The appliances inside must be crawling with viruses."
"They are but Zaps dealing with them," said Mr. Match, "Yahoot's sorting the kitchen out and Maddy and I are decorating and moving our new furniture in."
"Anything we can do to help?" asked Lan.
"Well if she busts as well as you do, you can both give Zaps a hand to bust the viruses in the appliances," said Maddy, "We'll pay you for it if you want."
"Ok then," I said, "Lets go Lan."
We spent most of that day busting viruses alongside Elecman. The next day we went with Yahoot to pick up some new kitchen appliances and the day after that was school.
"Hey you guys, where've you been? Me and Chaiso wanted to go to the town with you pair yesterday but you weren't at home," said Dex.
"And you didn't think to E – mail or ring us?" said Lan, "If you must know we've been helping Maddy, Yahoot, Mr. Match and Count Zap." By this point Yai and Mayl had turned up too.
"You've joined the WWW!" said a shocked Dex.
"No silly, we told you remember. They've changed and are opening a restaurant," said Mayl.
"You must pay less attention to us than you do to Ms. Mari," said Yai.
"No I don't. I pay exactly equal amounts of attention to you guys and Ms. Mari."
"Yeah, none at all," said Sarah.
"Hey! Take that back!" said Dex.
"Make me," said Sarah.
"Oh, you've had it now! I'll take you on in a NetBattle," said Dex pulling his PET out, "Come on then, or are you chicken."
I looked at Dex with an evil smile on my face. My hand went towards my PET.
"On second thoughts Gutsman has been kind of sick lately so if you wait for a few days for him to recover then I'll NetBattle you," said Dex putting his PET away, "Anyway hadn't we best head to class."
Dex almost ran up the stairs to class. The others watched and shook their heads as we started to head up to class.
"Typical Dex. Makes stupid challenges then backs out the moment he realises what he's done," said Yai.
"Yeah he claims to be the third best NetBattler in ACDC. He's only that because he's never taken me or Glyde on," said Roll.
"Roll, may I remind you that it is not our place to comment on these things," said Glyde, "Our victory in Battle depends upon the skill of us and our Operators."
"Unfortunately neither of them have got any skill at all," said Scyler.
"Don't you start to," I said, "Its bad enough with Roll going on."
I wasn't sure but I think Scyler and Roll stuck their tongues out at me then. It could just have been me.
After school the next day I got an email off Yahoot.
"#1 Curry is now open! Come on down for the best curry in town!"
"Hey Lan!" I shouted as Lan was a little in front. I ran to catch up with him, "You just got an email?"
"Yeah, what do you say we take the Mum and Dad tonight? We haven't been paid yet and may get a free meal out of it. Plus it would be a nice treat for Mum," he said.
"You must have read my mind," I said.
We went over to the restaurant to see how it looked now and were amazed by it.
"Wow, you've really done this place up," said Lan.
"Oh, Lan, Sarah, do you want your payment? Hang on a moment!" said Maddy.
"Actually we were wondering if we could get a free meal tonight with our family," I said, "That is if you don't mind."
"Of course, if it wasn't for you pair we wouldn't be open for another week. Unfortunately the amount we were going to give you doesn't cover a meal for four. It's short by 2000 Zenny."
"I'll cover that, here," I said jacking Scyler into the register and transferring the cash, "There's a small tip in there too."
"Thanks. Just come along tonight and we'll give you a great meal."
On the way home Lan asked, "Where'd you get 2000 Zenny from?"
"I have an account with about 60000 in it from my parents. It's the only thing I ever got off them. They put in 500 Zenny a month. I don't have much to spend it on so it's stockpiled over the years," I said.
Lan looked at me in that way again.
"Do you honestly think I'd forget where I got 60000 Zenny from Lan? And people at least have a good reason to call me stupid."
That night we took Mrs. Hikari, no 'Mum' and Dad to the new restaurant. It had taken them a bit of convincing and Dad was still sure he'd have to pay but they went. After Mum's initial shock at seeing the 4 former WWW executives she had a good time. Dad was still untrusting and checked every piece of food carefully but ate all his curry. After the meal Dad got up to pay but Maddy managed to convince him that it was all taken care of.
He still insisted on a tip and gave his complements to the chef which pleased Yahoot. I managed to spot Mayl and Yai with their families. Dex's mum was also there but Dex must have not trusted them yet. I think that if these four keep it up they could go a long way.
