Chapter 8: Shootin' the Breeze with a guy with a headache.

"So, Shadow, are you gonna stand there all day or come out?" asked Alex.

" sigh Alright Alex, you win," said the voice in the shadows (stupid puns.)

A girl wearing all black, you know, I'm serious, ALL black, black shirt, shoes, pants, socks, trenchcoat, hair (well, she can't help that), and neck choker thing (?) came out of the shadows. "So Alex, how did you know I was there?"

"Well Mae, it's kinda hard not to when you're yelling at your navi, telling her to shut up," said Alex simply.

"Alright, but you said you knew I was there for 5 minutes," said Mae.

"I bluffed, simple as that," said Alex.

" sweatdrop Ehh, umm, Mae was it?" asked Lan, "What's with wearing all black? You Goth or something?"

"No, Alex asked me that once, I'm not," she said.

"Oh, what's with the trench coat?" asked Maylu.

"Matrix fanatic," said Alex and Tim at the same time.

Mae smiled, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

"Yeah, she doesn't wear it all the time though, she wore a white shirt and black tie to school before," said Alex, "Remember Tim?"

"Oh yeah, I remember that," said Tim.

"Hey! I'm still a part of the fanfic! Where's my intro!" yelled Mae's navi.

"Oops, sorry Shade," said Mae apologetically, "I forgot about you after you started ranting about applesauce and UFO's and something about reading really really long books in 10 minutes."

sweatdrop "Eh he he, sorry," said Shade.

sigh "Here Shade, I'm gonna jack you in," said Mae, she obviously had to put up a lot with her navi's, umm, strange personality.

In the NetBattle machine…

"So, uh, Shade was it?" asked Megaman.

"Yep."

"Yeah, um, what kind of weapon do you use?"

The awkward silence that had occurred after Shade jacked-in was doing it's best to not be broken.

"Scythe." Shade pulled out a 5ft. stick, and spun it around rapidly. A blade emerged from one of the ends, and grew out to be; I'd say 2 ½ feet?

Megaman shivered, a strange presence seemed to have just entered the air.

Shade's eyes turned black (whoa, you think with wearing the same thing Mae was wearing, she'd've had enough black), and she began laughing maniacally. "Wa ha ha!" she yelled, "Fear me! Fear my powerful scythe!" Shade nuzzled the blade affectionately and then licked the length of the blade. She began swinging wildly around, aiming at anything that got in her way.

"Oh my GOD!" yelled Roll, "She gonna fuckin' kill us!"

Kirby let out an exasperated sigh; he had gone off to fetch BladeMan and ProtoMan, who had decided to stay in the sword room. "ALEX! MAE! TIM! CAN'T YOU FREAKIN' STOP SHADE?" yelled Kirby angrily.

"Nope," said Tim, Alex, and Mae at once, simply.

Sigh "Alright, I'll stop her…" said Kirby.

"Shade!" he yelled.

Shade turned her head in Kirby's direction, grinned evily and sped off towards him.

Sigh Kirby held up a cup of applesauce. Shade stopped immediately. "Shade, put down the scythe if you want applesauce." Shade decided to try to lop off Kirby's head anyway. Kirby stopped the blade with his finger and grabbed the scythe and threw it behind him. Shade returned to her normal, somewhat strange, self. "Shade, get that scythe checked by Mr. Hikari, Alex and I plan on visiting him, so come with us."

"After sauce," said Shade, who had taken the applesauce from Alex. Shade struggled to open the cup.

Sweatdrop "Uhh, does she always have this much trouble?" asked Megaman.

"Oh yeah," responded Mae, "She can do Abstract Trigonometrical Math, but she can't open a container of applesauce."

The number of sweatdrops everyone had watching Shade grew as she tried fruitlessly over and over to open the cup.

"Dammit, why can't I open this?" she yelled.

Large number of sweatdrops on everyone now replaced with really, really big sweatdrop

Kirby walked over to Shade, took the cup and opened it, then handed it back to Shade.

"Yay! Applesauce!" said Shade gleefully, as she devoured the sauce.

"Uhh, Shade, we're gonna go home now, 'K? You've gotta come with us," said BladeMan, after watching everything he realized that he had become almost non-existent in the fic.

In the real world…

"Alright, Lan, Maylu, Chaud, tomorrow, same time, in the virus room, got it?" said Alex.

"Hey Alex?" asked Mae.

"Yes?"

"Uhh, why does this chapter have guy with a headache in the title?"

"Oh, well, I had a headache but it's gone! Yay!"

Tim and Mae proceed to beat the shit out of Alex.

"Why did you do that?" yelled Alex.

"It was Tim's idea," said Mae.

"SO! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FOLLOW IT!" screamed Alex.

Tim and Mae reduced to Chibi characters as Alex's head becomes gigantic and looms over them, "TIM! YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!"

Tim suddenly disappeared, along with BladeMan.

"Alex? Where did Tim go?" asked Mae.

"Bad place, very bad place…"

Tim is lying on a beach in Alcapulco, enjoying himself, until he notices that the beach is a nude one…meant only for guys.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! WHY ALEX? WHY!"

"That's pretty harsh, Alex," said Mae, Lan, Maylu, and Chaud in unison.

"3…2…1…"

Tim reappered with BladeMan, both were lying in a fetal postion and sucking their thumbs.

"Okay Tim, I forgive you now," said Alex.

Tim got up, "Why only me? Mae beat you up too," he asked.

"Yeah, well you see…"

Tim cut in, mumbling, "Just cause he likes her…"

Tim disappeared to the beach again and returned after a few seconds.

"What was that, Tim?" said Alex menacingly.

"Nuthin'," said Tim defeated.

"Ahem, now with his intrusion out of the way, you were actually hurting me, it was you idea, and Mae was hitting me lightly with paper, it seems she didn't take you seriously," said Alex.

"Thank God too," said Mae, "But that was pretty messed up, Alex."

"Yeah, but it's the only punishment Tim'll receive, the rest of the fic is smooth sailing," said Alex.

"How'd'you do that anyway?" asked Tim.

"You two should know by now, my fic, my rules, my desires are reality," said Alex.

"Really," said Tim mischevously.

"Yes, all my desires which do not go against the wishes of others, even if I'm technically wrong because I don't know the wishes of others," said Alex.

"Huh?" said everyone.

"It means, I don't force people to do things that wouldn't normally happen."

Lan and Maylu opened their mouths.

"At least, real people, Chaud, Lan, Maylu and co. are all fictional characters, I'm talkin' about real people."

Lan and Maylu closed their mouths.

"Well, with all that stuff outta the way, why don't we do our homework at our house tomorrow?" asked Tim.

"Huh?" asked Alex and Mae.

"Alex, you should know, you're the author, we live under the same roof," said Tim.

"Oh yeah… in separate rooms though right?"

"Uh, yeah, hey Alex, are you all right?" asked Tim.

"Yeah, do you feel like shit again?" asked Mae, "You know, like you did at school today?"

"I'm alright, just thinkin'," said Alex.

"About what?"

"Next chapter."

End Chapter 8.

Woohoo! Long one there. Well, review, oh and tim and mae? Tell me if I screwed up on your personalities or actions, I may be your friend, but you can't always guess these things right?
