Lan stood in utter shock. Never before had something like this happened to him.

"You…love me?" he stuttered.

Mayl nodded yes.

"I have for some time now," she said. "I think about you all the time. I couldn't imagine my life without you. If you leave…it'll just tear me apart. You just can't go…"

She ran over to Lan and grabbed him in a tight hug.

"You can't go! Not until you tell me how you feel about me!"

"Oh, I know!" interrupted Megaman. "We were on this plane trip one time during that Gospel incident and Lan was talking in his sleep…"

Lan hit the 'mute' button on his PET.

"Mayl, I…I love you too," replied Lan.

He hugged her back.

"Oh, isn't this sweet? Our little boy is growing up before our eyes," said Lan's mom, wiping away a tear.

"Lan, the plane…" began Lan's dad.

Before anyone could react, the plane had already taken off. Mayl didn't seem to care, but Lan did.

"Hey, my luggage is on that plane!" he shouted. "WAIT!"

Lan dashed over to the departure gate.

"Come baaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkkkkkkkk!"

Some time later, after Lan managed to get his luggage sent back, he and Mayl sat together in ACDC Park. The sun was setting and Mayl was snuggled up to Lan like she would never let him go.

"Oh, Lan, you have no idea how much I'm enjoying this," she said.

"Yeah, me too," agreed Lan.

If I only knew what to do next, he thought.

"You are one lucky son-of-a-gun, you know that?" came a voice.

Both Lan and Mayl looked over and saw Chaud standing next to the park bench they were sitting on.

"How'd you get here?" asked Mayl.

"I had a feeling you two would be doing something along these lines," he answered. "Well, Lan, I guess you were meant for her all along. I must admit, I'm kind of jealous."

"Whoa, I made the great Chaud jealous?" asked Lan. "That's a first."

"Watch it, Lan," said Chaud. "Either way, I'm…happy for you. See you later."

Chaud turned around and silently walked away.

Meanwhile, in the computer world, Megaman and Roll sat down for a little quality time together, mainly because Lan and Mayl had put them there earlier so they could have some privacy.

"Isn't that sweet? Lan and Mayl are finally together," said Roll.

"It's pretty nice," agreed Megaman. "I just wish Lan had gotten the hint months ago. Could've saved us all a bunch of trouble."

"You know, maybe we should follow their example…" said Roll, inching a little closer to Megaman.

"Roll? Oh my…"

"I'm not surprised at all," came another voice.

Megaman and Roll turned to see Protoman in the area.

"I take it Chaud sent you here to get some privacy, too?" asked Megaman.

"Correct," answered Protoman. "And before you get any ideas, I have no intention of coming between Roll and you. She's not my type."

"Oh, what is your type, Protoman?" asked Roll.

"Protoman, I'm heading home now," interrupted Chaud. "Time to jack out."

"Yes, sir," replied Protoman. He jacked out right away.

Back in the human world, Lan had gotten into the spirit of things and found himself snuggling up against Mayl. Both of them felt the best that they ever had as they watched the sunset together…

"Lan, it's getting late! Time to come home!" shouted Lan's mom.

"Coming, mom!" Lan said. "Sorry, Mayl, but I have to go now."

"That's okay," said Mayl. "I'll come by and see you tomorrow."

Mayl just smiled to herself as she watched Lan head home.
