"00.17?" repeated 009. 002 nodded. "What's going on here?" a familiar voice said. 002, 003, and 009 turned to see Dr. Gilmore with 001 in his arms. 004, 005, 006, 007, and 008 were right behind them. 003's eyes widened with shock. "Oh dear! I didn't finish making breakfast!" With that, 003 dashed back into the kitchen to finish making breakfast. "Let me help you with that, 003," 006 offered. Just as 006 was about to go into the kitchen, 004 held him back by the collar. "You know, 006, maybe you should let 003 make breakfast. After all, give her a chance," 004 said. 007 cleared his voice. "Nah, 006. 004 was just being modest. He was really trying to tell you that you have to let 003 make breakfast. Everyone's tired of tasting Chinese food over and over again," 007 commented. 006 grew red with rage. Ripping out of 004's grasp, 006 lunged himself at 007. "I'll show you what happens when people insult my cooking," 006 said. Everyone inched away from the fight. "Breakfast!" 003 yelled from the kitchen. Everyone dashed into the kitchen, including 006 and 007, who ended the fight at the smell of food. 002 stayed where he was, unaware of what's going on around him. "Is something the matter?" 002 whirled around to see Dr. Gilmore. "Dr. Gilmore, is it possible that Black Ghost are still making cyborgs?" 002 asked. Dr. Gilmore thought for a moment. "Now that I think of it.yes. It is possible. Why do you ask?" "I've been having a strange dream.about a girl. Her name is Josephine. 003 said it was French, the name," 002 said. Dr. Gilmore nodded. "Go on." "She's half-blood. Part Chinese and part American. Though, she looks more American," 002 stated. "I thought you said she was part Taiwanese and American." 002 and Dr. Gilmore turned to see 009 walking out from the kitchen with a plate of food he was able to get. "Now that I think of it, her eyes looked more Chinese. But, the rest was pure American," 002 said. 009 rolled his eyes as he sat down next to him. "Go on." 002 sighed. "It started like this."

(start dream)

" Where am I?" 002 wondered. He looked around as he saw blackness engulfed around him. "Hello, can anyone here me?" 002 shouted to no one in particular. Suddenly, he was plunged into the darkness. His dream was cut to a sunny neighborhood, back in his hometown. back to New York. He was lying under a shady tree on top of a hill. Next to him sat a girl with midnight, black hair tied into a high ponytail with a blue bow. Tied around her neck was a crimson red bandana. 002 turned his eyes to meet piercing, black eyes. She looked about the same age as him.40 years ago. 002 looked at his hands, his body. "No mechanical parts," he thought. He sat up, staring at the girl next to him. "Who are you? Have we met?" 002 asked unsurely. His head told him that he has never met this girl in his entire life, but his heart thinks differently. The girl giggled. "There you go again, Jet, blowing off jokes. You know perfectly well who I am. After all, we've been life-long friends since kindergarten. Plus I'm your girlfriend since 7th grade," the girl replied. "Josephine?" 002 said. Josephine smiled. "There, you weren't as dumb as I thought," she replied. 002 was surprised when he heard himself laugh. "I haven't laughed like this in a long while," 002 said. Josephine looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean? You laugh everyday. That's how we became close friends. We both like laughing. Jet, are you alright?" she said worriedly. 002 looked at her. "Yeah, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me," 002 said. He watched as the Chinese/American girl turned her head towards the sunset. One thought went through his mind, "This girl is hot, especially with that blue mini- skirt and tank top." Josephine sighed. "It's so beautiful up here. I love this place. It's so relaxing and peaceful." 002 nodded and stared at the sunset. He turned back to Josephine. "It is beautiful. But, it's not as beautiful as you." 002 found himself saying those words out loud. He blushed at what he'd done. Josephine smiled. She brought her hand up to his face and turned it so that she stared straight in his eyes. Her hand cherished his, moving it softly up and down. 002 put his arms around Josephine's waist. The space between their lips grew closer as their lips finally touched, ending in a soft kiss. "Her lips feel so soft. It's as if I kissed her before. Duh, she's supposedly my girlfriend," 002 thought. Soon, they pulled apart. "Josephine, I've known you for 12 years. I've always had something to tell you. But, I didn't know what you would think of it." 002's hand went into his jean pocket. He smiled, "perfect". This was it. 002 pulled out a small black box from his pocket. He opened the lid. "Josephine, will you marry me?" Jet proposed. She gasped in astonishment as Jet slipped the engagement ring on her finger. "Oh, Jet! It's beautiful! Yes, Jet, I will marry you," Josephine said. A huge grin appeared on 002's face. Both 002 and Josephine drew in towards each other as they kissed. As soon as they parted, 002's dream cut short. "Just when I was getting to the good part," 002 mumbled. He looked around. "Great. I was about to marry the most beautiful girl, and now I end up here. Where am I anyway?" 002 turned his head to see a familiar girl scream from the top of an apartment window. "Josephine!" 002 shouted. "Jet! * cough * Help!" Josephine managed to shout from the smoke. 002 was about to use his jet boots, but forgot one thing, "Dang! No mechanical parts!" "Oh, forget the jet boots. It's back to running." 002 dashed towards the burning building. "Hang on, Josephine. I'm almost there," 002 whispered. He froze as he saw the building collapse before his very eyes. 002's knees gave in as he slipped towards the cold floor, landing on his knees. He heard one last scream, followed by a loud explosion.

"I'm not going to make it," Josephine thought inside the burning building. She smiled as she took off her bandana and slipped her engagement ring around the bandana. Tying the bandana with the two loose ends, protecting the ring carefully, Josephine scribbled something on the bandana. "I love you, Jet," she whispered as she hurled her most prized possession out the burning window, hoping the wind would drift it towards the one she loved. There was a loud explosion as the apartment she was stuck in tumbled into ashes.

"No!" 002 yelled. "No, no, no! She can't be gone." 002 covered his ears, eyes, full of crystal tears, staring at the ground. A bright red caught his eye. He looked up to see a crimson bandana fluttering towards him. It stopped it landed a few inches in front of where he was sitting. 002 reached out to grasp the bandana. He held it with shaking hand, untying the knot. Tears streamed own his eyes as he saw the engagement ring in the bandana. He saw a note scribbled on the bandana. 002 wiped away his tears so he could read it easier. He repeated everything written. "Jet, if your reading this note, then I know I'm gone. Please don't be sad. I'm not completely erased in this world. I still accept your love, Jet. No, I didn't throw away the engagement ring you gave me. I'm simply giving it back so you would always remember me. Please don't cry. I want you to continue your life. Remember me always in you heart. I will never leave your side. Until the day comes, I'll be waiting for you. I'm not saying good-bye, for I know we'll meet again soon.some day. Until then, I love you forever and always, Jet." 002 smiled and stood up. He wiped away the rest of his tears. Tucking the bandana and ring in his pocket, 002 walked away from the fire. He plunged into the darkness again with the smile still on his face. He didn't scream; he didn't cry. "I love you, too," 002 whispered, orange hair covering the brown eyes she loved so much.

* end dream *

"Then I dreamt about Josephine turning into a cyborg. I woke up crying '0017' over and over again, " 002 finished. 003 had tears in her eyes, so did 006 and 007. 001 was awake from his long sleep and was leaning over his crib. 009 and Dr. Gilmore suddenly became interested in their feet. 004 was leaning on the wall, arms crossed, listening carefully. 005 was sitting on the floor, picturing 002's dream. 008 went up to 002 and his hand on this shoulder. "I'm sorry," 008 said quietly. Apparently, all the cyborgs have gathered in the living room, curious of what's going on. 005 stood up again. "Do you know what it means?" 002 asked to no one in particular, "The dream felt so real." "Were your pockets empty last night?" 005 asked suddenly. 002 turned to 005. "Yeah." "Check them now. You might find something," 005 replied. 002's hand slipped into hi pajama pants. "Nothing, right?" 004 said. (Think again,) 001 said. Everyone turned as 002 slowly drew out a crimson, red bandana. "Oh my!" 003 gasped. The others stared with shock.002 untied the bandana. Sure enough, a small engagement ring with small, red rubies surrounding a bright, blue sapphire in a diamond shape. 002 started to laugh as he put both the ring and bandana away. Everyone looked at him. "What's so funny, 002?" 008 wondered. 002 stopped laughing, but there was a huge grin on his face. "Looks like I got myself a hot girl.and you guys don't, except for 004 that is. He's the only cool one here, after me of course," 002 said, pointing to himself. "Hot head," 007 mumbled. "Oh yeah?" "Yeah!" everyone shouted, accept for 001, 003, and Dr. Gilmore. They watched as 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, and 009 chase 002 around the Dolphin. 002 laughed as the others chased him. 002 closed his eyes. "Josephine, I'll be waiting, too, for the day we'll be together once more." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
