Disclaimer: I don't own the song, Black Eyed Peas does.
(This takes place back in the college years of the gang, at this time, Zero was still a Maverick, though an out of place one so to speak. Everyone went to Reploid University and incidentally, all the main characters shared the same dormitory.)
Zero: Man I can't wait to get outa here.
Slash Beast: Why's that?
Zero: No offense man, but you're brother is seriously messed up.
Slash Beast: You don't have to tell me, I had to live with him over the break!
(Zero and one of his roommates Slash Beast were unpacking as it was the first day back to school. Each dorm room shared three roommates, if you hadn't guessed, the third one to this party was Neon Tiger.)
Zero: You couldn't have opted for Blizzard Wolffang?
Slash Beast: Nah, he's already roomed with Magma Dragoon for that reason.
Zero: (shaking his head) Man, it would've been smart if we got a double like they did.
Slash Beast: (sighing) Well, better to be with him than those hunter guys.
(Both Zero and Slash Beast shiver, then continue to unpack. Slash Beast lays down on one of the beds. He looks up when he hears the door open.)
Zero: Well see ya later.
Slash Beast: Where are you going?
Zero: (shrugs) Meh, I dunno, anywhere but here. I dunno about you, but I don't wanna be here when your bro comes around.
Slash Beast: Man, you're preaching to the choir.
(Zero closes the door as he leaves. All of the Mavericks were teenagers at this time, it was their last year of college before they graduated. Each of them would have to go to career counseling later on. MegaMan X was different though, this was his first year as he was younger than the others. Zero had gone off campus to a bar, he was 21 by now.)
Zero: Hey yo, gimme a beer.
(The bartender served him. As he drank, another college student sat down beside him.)
Bartender: What'll you have?
????: What can I get that's not a, 'drink'?
Bartender: Tap water.
????: Ew....
Bartender: What, not 21?
????: No, only 18.
Bartender: Bah, close enough.
(He serves him a beer.)
????: Uhm, excuse me?
Zero: Hey come on man, live a little. I started drinking back in high school.
????: (annoyed) What, did you light up some smokes behind the cafeteria too?
Zero: (confused) Dude, what's your problem?
????: I'll tell you what my problem is, guys like you and him letting alcohol rule your life!
Zero: Whoa, chill out man! You look new around here, what's your name?
????: My name is MegaMan, MegaMan X.
Zero: Didn't ask for your life story MegaMan, MegaMan X.
(All the drunkards laugh.)
X: You must be a Maverick.
Zero: And you must be my mommy with all these questions.
(More drunken laughs.)
X: It's people like you that give Reploids a bad name.
Zero: And it's people like you that let a good cold beer go flat.
(Zero stands up, ready for a fight, as everyone in the bar goes 'oh'.)
X: I'm not gonna fight you!
Zero: What, too afraid, freshman?
X: I don't want to hurt you, violence never solves anything.
(Zero and everyone else bursts into laughter.)
Zero: Alright, I guess fighting a baby would be a little unfair.
(Just then somebody walked into the room.)
Neon Tiger: Oh Zero!
Zero: Oh no...
Neon Tiger: I'm so glad I found you, how was your summer?
Zero: Great until you came in....
(Zero slumps down, Neon Tiger sits on his opposite side, X on the other of Zero.)
Neon Tiger: My brother told me that we're roomies.
Zero: (monotoned sarcasm) Yea, you can tell I'm overjoyed.
(X watches and laughs. Just then another person comes in, a friend of X, a lovely young girl.)
Girl: Hey X!
X: Iris, hey come over here.
(X sits up, letting Iris sit down, next to Zero. His attention has moved from the annoyance on his left to the beauty on his right. He smirks, trying to be the lady charmer that he is, but this time is different.)
Zero: Hey.
Iris: Hello.
Zero: So, what's your name?
Iris: Iris.
Zero: Well I'm Zero.
Iris: So are you a friend of X?
Zero: Uhm... yea, yea I am.
Iris: (giggles) You're kinda cute, maybe we can hang out sometime.
Neon Tiger: Hey!
Zero: I've had enough of you!
(Zero grabs Neon Tiger by the collar and throws him to a booth, he breaks the table and the drunks there stand up angrily and beat him up in the background as Zero and Iris resume their conversation.)
Iris: So maybe I'll see you around campus sometime?
Zero: Sure, it's my last year.
Iris: Lucky, after this I've got one more to go before I graduate. But my brother is a senior like you.
Zero: Oh, cool.
????: Iris!
Iris: Oh, that's him now.
Zero: You're brother?
(Zero slowly turns at the deep voice. He gulps and looks up to see the Colonel.)
Colonel: What is this sitting next to you?
Iris: That's Zero, a friend of X.
(Zero gives a small wave, but the Colonel grabs him by the neck and picks him up.)
Colonel: Now listen you, I don't want you to do anything to my sister, got it?
(Zero choked a reply.)
X: Colonel don't!
Colonel: X?
X: Leave him alone, he's my friend and Iris likes him.
Iris: Please.
(Colonel eventually sets Zero down, he gasps for air, then he leaves.)
Colonel: Let's go.
Iris: Ok. (to Zero) Are you ok?
Zero: (love struck) Yea, I'm fine.
Iris: (smiles back) I'm glad.
Colonel: Iris!
Iris: Coming! Gotta go.
(Zero watches Iris leave, X sits down back next to Zero.)
Zero: Wow....
X: Somebody likes her.
Zero: Who, I'll kill him!
X: Haha, you silly!
Zero: Yea, but she'll never go out with a guy like me.
X: She likes you.
Zero: Yea, you think?
X: (shakes his head) No, I know.
Zero: (smirks) Thanks. You know, I'm sorry about what I said earlier, you're a pretty cool guy. You remind me of me when I was younger. But hey, I'm a Maverick, she's from Repliforce, it'd never work out.
X: You don't seem like a Maverick, are you sure that's your true calling?
Zero: Well yea, I mean, I dunno, it's what I was born into.
X: Just because you were born into it doesn't mean you have to do it. You have a choice.
Zero: Yea. Yea I do have a choice. Heh, well when I go to the counselor later on, he won't be receiving another Maverick! Thanks X, so maybe you wanna hang out sometime?
X: Sure, and maybe you'll get to see Iris again.
Zero: Yea, friend.
X: (smiling) Friend.
(They shake hands. Later that day, everyone went to the counselor office to get career counseling. Zero and Slash Beast came in to see a long crowded wait.)
Zero: Aw, this is just great!
Slash Beast: Let's see if we can cut. (They both look around.) Hey, Blizzard! Come on Zero.
(Zero is about to go over, but he sees X standing in the line as well.)
Zero: Yo, X!
(Zero walks over and Slash Beast turns around. Blizzard Wolffang and X were pretty close so Zero and Slash Beast were still kinda by each other.)
Slash Beast: Zero, what are you doing?
Zero: Talking to my friend.
Slash Beast: Him? Gees, hello? Maverick Hunter in training man!
Zero: So?
Slash Beast: Gees I knew you were dumb but still. You're a Maverick, he's a Hunter. Natural born enemies here!
Zero: Just cause you're born into something doesn't mean you have to do it.
(Everyone gives him a strange look. Slash Beast puts a hand on his forehead.)
Slash Beast: You feeling ok man? Here, lemme see your tongue.
Zero: (jerks away) Ew! Come on man, we can do anything we want here, we don't have to do what we're told. That's the whole idea behind teenage rebellion.
Slash Beast: But dude, Willey would have your head for this!
Zero: He's not around now is he? You can do anything you want to, you know, it's not just me.
Slash Beast: Fine then I will, I'm choosing, to end this conversation.
Zero: Come on man, don't be like that!
X: Come on Zero, the line's moving.
(Zero moved up the line with X.)
Blizzard Wolffang: Don't worry, it's the first day back, I'll bet he's just having a senior crisis.
Slash Beast: Yea, you're right. I mean, that's Zero, the most vile Maverick of all, no way he'd start talking soft.
Zero: So X, what are you jobbing for?
X: Maverick Hunter... er, no offense.
Zero: Non taken.
X: How about you?
Zero: I dunno, I guess I'm undecided until I talk to him. I kinda wanna be an entertainer though.
X: Oh yea, like what?
Zero: Movie star. No, rock star. No, wait... yea, rock star.
X: Cool, can you sing?
Zero: Hell yea! I'm singer in a band with some of the others.
???: Really, I love rock singers.
(Zero turned at the voice to see Iris.)
Zero: Hey.
Iris: I just got out, looks like I'm gonna be a Reploid researcher like Alia.
X: Oh yea, you're roommate. Well that's cool, I bet your brother would be proud.
Iris: Yea, thanks. Well I gotta go, I'll see you later Zero.
(She walked off.)
Zero: By...
(After a few more in the line, X goes into the office and comes out.)
X: Yup, Maverick Hunter. So far all of my friends are also gonna work at the HQ. You're up.
Zero: Ok.
(He goes into the office where the counselor is waiting.)
Counselor: So, Zero, what do you want to go into?
Zero: Well first I was thinking about being a Maverick, but then I realized that I want to do something else.
Counselor: And what might that be?
Zero: A singer in a rock band.
Counselor: (brief pause) Well, that's not necessarily a job.
Zero: Then what is it?
Counselor: A hobby.
Zero: Oh...
Counselor: Then what do you want to be?
Zero: (thinking) Hmm... I don't think actor is considered either? (the counselor shakes his head) Well, then I guess there really is only one choice job out there for me then.
(Zero finally came out of the office and walked back up the line.)
Slash Beast: So, how did it go?
(Zero stops for a moment, then looks up at him with a smirk.)
Zero: I'll be seeing ya on the team man.Slash Beast: Alright, I knew you wouldn't go soft on us man. Yea!
(They slap high fives, then Zero continues down to where X was waiting at the door.)
X: So, what happened?
Zero: Well apparently actor and musician aren't considered jobs, so there was only one choice out there for me...
X: (sighs) Zero, I understand....
Zero: Maverick Hunter.
X: I know that... what!
Zero: (smirks) Yea. I thought about what you said and you're right. But, I don't think that I can break it so easily to the guys. I mean, all my friends are Maverick's X, what am I gonna do?
X: (thinking) I have an idea.
(X took Zero to the RN at the dormitory, he was a very smart student, also a senior, who was so talented he was already granted head of headquarters after graduation.)
Signas: So X, whose your friend?
X: This is Zero.
Signas: Zero, are you crazy!
X: No, no, no, it's ok, see, he's converted.
Signas: (in shock) Are you serious?
Zero: I want to be a hunter, but, all my friends are Mavericks.
Signas: Stop there, I get it. And I have the perfect plan.
Zero: Wow you're good, I only just told you and you already got a solution.
Signas: You can work as a special hunter, an irregular class all your own. Basically you go undercover as a Maverick. So that way you work for us, but the Mavericks think that you work for them at the same time.
Zero: Oh I get it. Man that's perfect!
X: So now you just gotta keep your stories strait.
Zero: Don't worry about that X, I may be stupid but I'm not that dumb.
(That night, Zero returned to his dorm room to find the band in there. Zero was the singer and occasional guitar when Blizzard Wolffang played base, but usually he was second guitar. Slash Beast was full on front guitar and Magma Dragoon was the drums. They were trying to come up with their first song, Zero was writing it because he had a creative talent when it came to those things.)
Slash Beast: I think it's funny, us four Mavericks all in a band. Maybe when we go work for Sigma...
Blizzard Wolffang: Sigma, that Reploid scientist?
Slash Beast: Sh, word on the street is that he got scared outa his mind when he was attacked by some young punk Maverick. Then after studying it and all that, he just kinda lost it. Now rumor has it that he's going to start a whole Maverick unit to turn on his Reploid past.
Magma Dragoon: So he's gonna betray the hunters?
Slash Beast: Exactly.
Magma Dragoon: Wow.
Blizzard Wolffang: Yea, we were all back in high school when that happened. Heh, maybe we even know the guy. Hey Zero, weren't you out of high school for a week or something cause you had, food poisoning, or something. Haha!
Zero: Come on guys, I'm trying to concentrate here.
Slash Beast: Oh sorry.
(Zero threw down the pencil in frustration.)
Blizzard Wolffang: What's wrong? We were just kidding ya know.
Zero: I just can't get it. I got the chorus and the bridge down, but the three verses are killing me! I know what I wanna say but I can't get it out.
Magma Dragoon: Senior crisis, don't worry about it.
Zero: Look, I wasn't gonna say anything cause I wanted to surprise you, but I got us a gig next week at the bar. I was hoping I could finish the lyrics, but right now I can't focus.
Slash Beast: Man that's great, we got our first gig!
Blizzard Wolffang: Alright, way to go!
Magma Dragoon: Come on, why don't you let us help you with the lyrics.
Zero: No, it's my job as singer to come up with it. You come up with the music, I do the vocals.
Magma Dragoon: No vocalist can carry the weight by himself.
Zero: Don't worry, I'm giving you guys lines too.
Blizzard Wolffang: Alright!
Slash Beast: Come on, you guys better go before you know who comes back.
Magma Dragoon: Yea really, well good luck Zero, and don't stress it.
Blizzard Wolffang: See ya later Zero, just take a break, it'll calm you down.
(They left and Zero stood up.)
Zero: Yea they're right. Yo, I'm gonna take a shower ok.
Slash Beast: Got it.
(He laid down on the bed and turned on the tv as Zero went into the bathroom. Not too long after, Neon Tiger came home. Slash Beast had fallen asleep while doing his homework during the commercials. Neon Tiger saw the bathroom door closed and heard the shower running. He put two and two together and realized it was Zero in there. Neon Tiger giggled and pulled a camera out of a dresser drawer, he could here Zero singing some of the ideas he'd come up for the song.)
Zero: (half singing) And the base keeps running, runnin, and runnin, runnin.... yea, that sounds good. Everybody, lets get into it, get stupid. Ah, stupid soap! Come on y'all, let's get... cold water! In here. (Neon Tiger giggled, then burst through the door and into the steamy bathroom, where the camera flashed.) What the....! (Zero opened the door.) Hey!
Neon Tiger: (giddy) Whoops, sorry!
(Neon Tiger runs out, laughing. Growling, Zero gives chase.... in all his glory.)
Zero: Get back here you son of a....!
Slash Beast: Whoa, Zero!
Zero: Hu?
(Zero looks down, finally realizing he'd run out of the bathroom with no towel.)
Slash Beast: Please, we don't wanna see that.
Zero: (angry and embarrassed) Well your brother does, obviously.
(Zero grabs a hanging towel, wraps it around himself and turns with a pout into the bathroom. Still shocked and slightly disgusted, Slash Beast can't help but laugh. A few days later, X found Zero at one of the bench tables in the quad, working busily.)
X: Hey you.
Zero: (absentmindedly) Hey.
X: Huh, are you ok?
Zero: Yea, just kinda busy here.
X: With what, homework?
Zero: Haha, no way. I gotta finish this song. We got our first gig at that bar off campus next weekend and I'm no way near done with the lyrics. Man, this is usually so easy for me, but all of a sudden things just got weird and now it's harder to focus on it.
X: I think I know what it is. (Zero looked up.) Iris.
Zero: (blushing slightly) What? No!
X: Face it Zero, you're in love.
Zero: Nu-uh!
X: Zero, remember when you started to have trouble.
Zero: Uhm, about a few days ago.
X: And what happened that day?
Zero: (thinking) I met you, and... Iris!
X: And what did she say?
Zero: That, she liked rock singers...
X: And you are?
Zero: A rock singer. (Zero looks at X in shock.) Wow you're good.
X: Oh stop.
Zero: I know why now, Iris is intimidating me. I want to write something so spectacular it wins her over.
X: Zero, she already likes you. I'll bet she'll love whatever you make, just don't stress over it. Calm down when you concentrate and the right words will come.
Zero: Wow, that just might work. Thanks X! I'm gonna go back to my room and try it right now!
(Zero grabs his backpack and runs across the grass.)
X: Zero wait! Don't you have class?
(Zero looks over his shoulder as he keeps running.)
Zero: Screw chemistry!
X: Oh joy...
(The week went by quickly, Zero did get the words out, the band rehearsed them, and Zero did miss chemistry a lot to do so, not that he didn't mind. Finally the big day came, in only a few hours the band would be performing their first gig and Zero would have proved to Iris that he is a rock singer. Zero was sitting in the green room in the bar prepping himself, when X came in.)
Zero: Hey you.
X: So are you ready?
Zero: Oh hell yea!
X: Nervous?
Zero: No way, I never have stage fright. Hell, my major was drama. (he stopped himself and sighed) Now I'm gonna become a hunter... wow, how am I gonna break this to the guys. So far growing up, all my friends have been Mavericks. Vile himself trained me to hate all other Reploids who'd hunt us down.... and now, I am a hunter, my destiny is to hunt my friends, to destroy my past... I don't think I can do it X.
X: Aw come on, sure you can. I look at you and I don't see a Maverick. Look inside yourself and search your feelings, you know the truth, you know your destiny.
Zero: Yea I know, I just hope that... I just want...
Bartender: Five minutes gang.
X: Well that's your cue. (X sees Zero is still down, he pats his back) Hey, forget it man, focus. You've got Iris out there, that should be all that matters right now, right?
(Zero smirked and stood up.)
Zero: Yea, she is all that matters.
(Outside in front of the stage, everyone had their drinks and were cheering, ready to have a good time. Iris sat by her brother at the bar when X joined them. They all clapped as the bartender got on stage.)
Bartender: Alright, get ready for some hardcore heavy action, these punks are gonna be graduating and for all we know if they're good enough they could make a career outa this. So put your hands together for Crestfallen!
(The curtains opened.)
Zero: Hey I thought we were the Titans....
(Zero turned around to see the crowd, amid them all he saw Iris. He gulped, all of a sudden his mouth had gone dry and his throat had closed up.)
Slash Beast: Come on Zero, are you ready?
Zero: Yea, yea...
Magma Dragoon: Come on Zero, stage fright? I thought you were better than that.
Zero: No, it's not that, I'm fine.
(The crowed grew silent, Zero looked pale like he was going to throw up. Iris knew what was wrong, she stood up.)
Iris: Let's get is started in here!
(Zero smiled, that did it, he was energized. He nodded, signaling the band to start playing, it was almost like metal hip hop/r&b. The music filled the air, then the singing began.)
Zero: And the base keep runnin, runnin.
Zero and Slash Beast: And runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin.
Zero and Slash Beast and Blizzard Wolffang: And runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin.
All four: And runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and...
Slash Beast: In this context, there's no disrespect, so, when I bust my rhyme, you break your necks.
Blizzard Wolffang: We got five minutes for us to disconnect, from all intellect collect the rhythm effect.
Zero: Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition, free your inner soul and break away from tradition. Coz when we beat out, girl it's pullin without.
Zero and Slash Beast: You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out.
Slash Beast: Burn it till it's burned out.
Blizzard Wolffang: Turn it till it's turned out.
Zero: Act up from north, west, east, south.
Blizzard Wolffang: Everybody!
Slash Beast: Everybody!
Magma Dragoon: Let's get into it.
Zero: Get stupid.
All four: Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Zero: Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here.
Magma Dragoon: Yea!
Zero: Lose control, of body and soul. Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow.
Blizzard Wolffang: Don't get ahead, just jump into it. Ya'll here a body, two pieces to it.
Zero: Get started, get stupid.
Slash Beast: You'll want me body people will walk you through it. Step by step, like you're into new kid.
Blizzard Wolffang: Inch by inch with the new solution. Trench men hits, with no delusion.
Zero: The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin.
Blizzard Wolffang: Everybody!
Slash Beast: Everybody!
Magma Dragoon: Let's get into it.
Zero: Get stupid.
All four: Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Zero: Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here.
Magma Dragoon: Yea!
All four: Runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin and...
Zero: C'mon y'all, lets get woohoo! Lets get, (Crowd: Woohoo!) in here! Lets get. (Crowd: Woohoo!) Lets get, (Crowd: Woohoo!) in here. Lets get. (Crowd: Woohoo!) Lets get, (Crowd: Woohoo!) in here.
Magma Dragoon: Yea.
Zero: Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya! Let's get ill, that's the deal.
Slash Beast: At the gate, we'll bring the bud top drill.
Zero: Lose your mind this is the time
Slash Beast: Ya'll test this drill. Just and bang your spine.
Blizzard Wolffang: Bob your head like epilepsy, up inside your club or in your Bentley.
Zero: Get messy, loud and sick.
Blizzard Wolffang: Ya'll mount past slow mo in another head trip.
Zero: Come then now do not correct it, let's get ignant let's get hectic.
Blizzard Wolffang: Everybody!
Slash Beast: Everybody!
Magma Dragoon: Let's get into it.
Zero: Get stupid.
All four: Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Zero: Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here. Let's get it started, ha! Let's get it started in here.
Magma Dragoon: Yea!
All four: Runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin and...
Zero: C'mon y'all, lets get woohoo! Lets get, (Crowd: Woohoo!) in here! Lets get. (Crowd: Woohoo!) Lets get, (Crowd: Woohoo!) in here. Lets get. (Crowd: Woohoo!) Lets get, (Crowd: Woohoo!) in here.
Magma Dragoon: Yea.
Zero: Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya!
All four: Runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin, and runnin, runnin and...
(And with that, the music faded out, and the applaud rose up. They all looked around as everyone clapped and cheered. They were in shock, awestruck. Zero smiled a huge grin.)
Zero: I did it... we did it! Woohoo!
(Iris ran to the stage and jumped on Zero, giving him a huge hug.)
Iris: Oh Zero that was amazing, my gosh, you were so great!
Zero: Yea, really? (Iris nodded her head, with a beaming smile, they hugged again.) Thanks.
Slash Beast: Hey, hey, hey!
(Zero and Iris turned to see the rest of the band, angry.)
Magma Dragoon: What is this?
Blizzard Wolffang: Yea, what's going on here, Zero?
Zero: Guys, this is my friend Iris.
Iris: Friend?
Zero: Oh yea, that's right. Girlfriend.
Colonel: Girlfriend!?
Zero: Uhm, I mean...
Magma Dragoon: Zero are you really that dumb? She's from Repliforce, they work in coherence with the hunters!
Slash Beast: Yea Romeo, do you even know what you're doing?
(Zero sighed and looked down at the floor, thinking for a minute.)
Zero: Yes, I do. And for that, my friends, I'm sorry...
(Zero closed his eyes as he grabbed one of the cymbals from the drum set and hit it upside Magma Dragoon's head. The he took the base out of Blizzard Wolffang's hands and hit him with it, along with his own guitar. Then he did the same to Slash Beast with his guitar. Zero sighed and turned around as Slash Beast struggled to look up.)
Slash Beast: You? Traitor...
Zero: I'm sorry, it's been great, but being a Maverick isn't what I really want to be.
Iris: Then what's that?
Zero: I want to be with you. (he turned to her and smiled) A hunter.
Slash Beast: No, but... why?
(Just then...)
Neon Tiger: Oh Zero I loved it as much as I love you, can I have your autograph, and you're phone number?
(The bartender threw him out as the crowd jeered and booed him. Zero turned back to the crazy cat's brother.)
Zero: Do I really need to explain?
(And with that Slash Beast fainted. Iris jumped again into Zero's arms.)
Iris: Oh Zero, I love you!
(Zero froze, did she just say... he smiled.)
Zero: I love you too.
(And with that they shared their first kiss as the crowed cheered. Alia jumped up and down next to the annoyed Colonel as X clapped. Zero saw him and gave him a thumbs up. He and Iris walked over to them.)
X: Congratulations Zero.
Zero: Thanks X, I look forward to working with you. (he held out his hand) Partner.
X: Partner? (he looked up, then smiled and shook his hand) Partner!
(And as we leave the happy scene of cheering and celebration, we fade back to the Maverick Hunter Headquarters where everyone is sitting in the main room.)
Zero: And that's the story of how I once had a rock band.
X: That was a great story Zero... except I was supposed to be telling the story of how we all met in college!
Zero: Do'h!
A/N: Well, sorry for such a belated update, but I wanted to do a story that I could relate to. The new semester started last week and this is my last year of college, so I'm gonna be really busy with all my work from classes (and not to mention being the assistant to the director in a play here) so sadly updated will be rare and occasional. But don't worry, this story will not die, I still have a whole lot of chapters in process, so keep your eyes peeled and once again sorry for the inconvenience.
