Chapter Two

The next day went by without too much trouble, but on Monday....
"Lan!! Wake up!!! Your gonna be late for school! Again!" Megaman yelled through the PET while Lan is asleep.
Lan stirred, and glanced at the clock. "Wha...?" He said sleepily. "Oh no! It's 7:50!! I'm late for school!" He got up quickly and pulled on his clothes and rollerblades, grabbed his backpack and his PET and bladed through the door and into the kitchen where he grabbed a couple pieces of toast, his mom watched him go by in a blur. "Gotta go Mom! Seeya later!" He yelled over his shoulder, almost running into the door in his rush. "Ack! Whoops! I am soo late!" He rushed out the door and began his trek to school, talking to Megaman on the way.
"Who do you think that girl at the phone booth was? And how did she know my name or that I had just finished NetBattling?"
"Well, you are kind of famous for your NetBattling you know. She could have been referring to that." suggested Megaman.
"Yeah, maybe" Lan said doubtfully.
He got to school with only seconds to spare. "Phew, I made it." he said as he sank into his chair just as the bell rang.
The classroom was buzzing with chatter, most of it seemed to be about a new girl that was going to be in their class. He kept hearing things like, "I wonder who it could be." and, "I heard that her family moved in to town only a couple of days ago."
Ms. Mari walked into the classroom and told everyone to calm down. "Good morning everyone. I see that you have heard of our new student already. Kris, why don't you introduce yourself?" She looked over at the girl standing near the door and motioned for her to come to the front of the class.
"All right." she said softly and walked to the front of the room. When she was in full view Lan looked at her closely and recognized her as the girl he had almost run over on Saturday, and the same girl that was by the phone booth the same day. Today she stood in the front of the classroom in her blue jeans and tennies with a T-shirt that had a wave across the front of it in aqua green and light blue. She wore her light brown hair back in a headband which had a wave icon, like her shirt, facing frontwards.
"My name is Kris Taki and I just moved here with my family two days ago. My dad works at SciLab and my mom is gonna be a secretary here. I hope I will get to know all of you as we spend time together." she looked straight at Lan and nodded, then went to her seat.
Ms. Mari cleared her throat and said "All right, now that that is done. Let's get on with the lesson, shall we?" as she began teaching them about Geography, Lan couldn't help running Saturday's events over and over in his mind and wondering why she was there at the phone booth that day.

Later that day at lunch, all of Lan's friends sat down at a lunch table together and Lan told them about Saturday's events. Even though Dex kept interrupting and tried to change his role in the day, Maylu and Yai seemed to get the picture.
"Why don't you just ask her about it?" Yai suggested.
"Uh.... I don't know.... uhmm... Good idea Yai.." Lan mumbled sheepishly.
Maylu was the first one that spotted Kris as she walked into the lunch area.
"Hey, Kris! Do you wanna sit with us?" Maylu called out.
Kris nodded and walked to the table and sat down next to them across from Lan. "What's up?" she asked looking around the table.
"Why were you near Dex's house on Saturday?" Yai blurted out, leaning on the table in her excitement.
"Yai!" The other three say simultaneously.
"What? I was just curious." Yai said apololgetically. "I didn't mean to be rude."
Kris laughed, which surprised the group. "It's all right, I don't mind. It probably does seem odd that I was there. The fact is, after Lan almost bumped into me that day, I saw that as an opportunity to meet some kids in the neighborhood and when I realized it was Lan, I figured that it also was a good chance to get some NetBattling in as well." she explained.
"You Netbattle too?" Lan looked at her critically. "Do you happen to have a NetNavi named Aquari... Aquarium... Something like that?"
She laughed again. "I was wondering when someone would mess up her name. Yes, my NetNavi is Aquaria and I helped you and Megaman to defeat Torchman that day."
Lan snapped his fingers like he'd just figured out something. "I knew that you were her NetOp! Well, I didn't really know, but I suspected it." He added reluctantly.

In the cyberworld, all the Netnavis were standing in the same positions that their NetOps where sitting at the lunch table.
"So you are the famous Aquaria we've heard so much about." Roll said looking her over.
"Famous? I wouldn't say that-" Aquaria replied.
"How did you do it?" interrupted Megaman. "I mean, stun Torchman like you did." he added as a second thought.
"Well, it's really very simple, you see, he has the fire element in his programming and I have the water element. Water always puts out the fire." she added with a smile. "Besides, what's a Torchman without his flame?"
Roll thought his over a bit. "A stick person?"
"Kinda" Aquaria laughed. "Anyway, without his flame, Torchman couldn't do anything. Not even move because fire was built so much into his programming."
The others nodded and then heard the bell ring to signal the end of lunch. "Well, see you all after school." Megaman said as he logged out into the PET. The others did the same and went to class with their NetOps.

What will happen next? Why did Kris move to ACDC? Why?

Stay tuned! Thanks for reading!!!!
