Chapter 2: Ikki that's enough!

"Ikki…." whispered a soft voice. "Ikki…"

The sleep drifted teen was sprawled over his bed with his blanket and sheets partially on the floor and drool falling from his mouth to add to the laid out look.

"No mom…..just give me 5 more minutes…" he mumbled and turned his head the other way.

"kes mumps 5 mo minutes…" mimicked the sleeping yellow medabot on the floor beside him.

"Ikki…." The voice went on. "Ikki wake up…" the owner of the voice began to gently shake the young boy to awaken him from his deep slumber.

"I don't think that you'll be able to wake him up." came a female robotic voice.

That voice…..

"Me neither, but it didn't hurt to try. Auntie told me that he was so worked up last night to come greet us at the airport that he stayed up late and over slept."

"He's still as cute as ever." commented the mechanical voice. "But has gotten very handsome and with some luck wiser."

…It's so beautiful and far beyond any angel's voice one can possibly obtain….

"Shall we go downstairs now?" the mechanical voice suggested.

…no don't go…

"Yeah, we'll wait for them downstairs." the other voice replied.

Their footsteps could be heard as the walked through the room to the door and descended downstairs.

"N-nooo don't-" mumbled Medabee before he bolted straight up and glanced hesitantly around the room.

"That voice…" he said aloud. "…it was so…beautiful. But it had to have been a dream." He stated getting up. "There's no way that medabot like that would be around here."

He glanced around the room one last time until his eyes fell upon Ikki's calendar. He looked at the date then starred at Ikki while he talked in his sleep, but then hurriedly glanced back at the calendar then at the clock.

9:53

"Oh that's right…" Medabee assured himself. "Today's the day we go pick up Ikki's cousin at the airport at 7:30."

(Silence)

"TODAY!?!?!!?!" he shrieked and glanced back at the clock. "9:54! Ikki! Yo Ikki! Wake Up! We're late!"

"Gahz gimsee ..tree mo minutes mom…(snore)"

"I said….WAKE UP!!!" he repeated firing shots at him to wake him up.

"Aggghhhhhhh!!!!! Medabee what's your problem?!?! I was having a dream were Karen and I had finally gotten married." He ended dreamily.

"Forget Karen! We were suppose to pick up your cousin over 2 hours ago at the airport!"

"What?" he asked in confusion and glanced at the clock.

9:58

"Oh no we're going to be late picking up Tomoe!" he shrilled falling out of bed.

"Tomoe? But hat's a gi-"

"There's no time Medabee!" Ikki muffled while pulling on his shirt. "She probably think we forgot about her!"

He competed putting his shoes on and grabbed Medabee to run downstairs.

"Mom!!! Why didn't you wake us up?" he shouted running toward the door.

"Because there was no need, but you seem to be in rush and its a bit chilly out so here's your coat." said a lavender medabot.

"Thanks Ocarnia! Now I gotta get going to met you and…..huh?" Ikki stopped in realization of who was talking to him.

"Ocarnia!"

"Hello Ikki!" she responded.

"But where's Tomme?" he asked.

"In the kitchen!" a female voice yelled.

"Tomoe!" exclaimed Ikki as he ran toward his cousin and embraced her in a welcoming hug.

"I missed you too baby cousin!" she said in a smuggled reply. "I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't budge. You still sleep like a rock!"

"Wait! You mean that was you in Ikki's room a while ago?!" Medabee said in realization.

"Yes, sorry if we woke you." Ocarnia apologized.

"Gah…" Medabee began to tense up just at the mere sound of her voice.

What's wrong with me? My medaparts are starting to feel funny.

"So do you want to show me around town, Ikki?" Tomoe suggested.

"Yeah sure! A lot has changed since you last been here." He mentioned.

"I can only imagine." She said rising from here seat.

"Wait a second!" Medabee started abruptly. "Where's Tommy?"

"What are you talking about Medabee she's right here." Ikki stated.

"She?!?!?! I thought it was a he!" Medabee be said amazed yet shocked.

"Sorry we weren't what you expected." Ocarnia apologized cutely.

"Huh! Uh-uhhh no! That's not it at all! You are what I expect! I mean you….you two! I-"he stuttered.

"Hahaha…your medabot is cute Ikki and it's very rare that you see a KBT medabot anymore."

"Yeah, Henry gave him to me." Ikki said scratching the back of his head.

"Henry?" she questioned.

"Yeah, he's a clerk at the convenient store Erika and I hang out at." He answered casually.

"Well let's go see him!" Tomoe suggested.

"Now?"

"Sure! There's no time like the present after all!"

"Oh that sounds like a great idea!" came in mom. "But it looks like its just going to be the two of you….Medabee your favorite soap opera is on."

"Your medabot watches soap operas too huh?" Tomoe asked with a flat look on her face.

"Yeah…." Ikki admitted sadly. "Hey wait a minute! You mean…"

"Yep."

"Ey! There's nothing wrong with soap operas! General Hospital just so happens to be a very interesting show!" Medabee argued.

"Oh I agree!" said Ocarnia from behind him. "General Hospital just so happens to be one of my favorite shows!"

"Really you too?" Medabee asked with a tint of red.

"Oh yes! I can't get enough of it!"

"Come on Ikki, let's leave the two love birds be." suggested Tomoe.

The two relatives walked out of the house while their two medabots sat in the living room preparing them to watch their soap operas.

"Don't you think it's weird for medabots to watch soap operas?" asked Ikki casually as the walked down the neighborhood streets.

"Oh on the contrary, I think it's fascinating!" she replied.

"Wha??"

"To be able to see medabots interact and relate to human emotions is amazing. It's hard to believe that they were made in a lab or factory!"

"Yeah, I guess so….but I can't wait to introduce you to everyone!" Ikki started excitedly.

"Huh? But Ikki I-"

"First, I'll introduce you to Henry, then Karen, Erika, the Screws, Koji, a couple of friends at school….."

"Ikki…"

"And when my fans come up to me you can be there for some of the glory too! And-"

"IKKI STOP!" she yelled.

A tense and uncomfortable silence fell upon them as Ikki tried to figure out his cousin's sudden outburst.

"Ikki…look I'm sorry, it's just that…I don't want any more publicity. Tomoe this, Tomoe that; Tomme Tomme Tomme. I get tired of hearing that! The main reason I came here wasn't to help Susan's sister, but to get away from it all."

"Get away from it all? But Tomme….what's wrong with the spotlight?" he asked in confusion.

"After a while Ikki, you'll come to realize that winning fame glory doesn't get you everything and everyone you want."
