Love Alia!
Chapter 1
"Vacation!"
By MEGAMANX411

Disclaimer: This story is pretty much Mega Man X with influences from the series Love Hina. It won't use anything directly from that series, but it will be similar in terms of style. Neither Mega Man X nor Lova Hina are of my possession no matter how much I would like to believe otherwise. Some scenes will be similar due to the nature of Love Hina, and if you dislike fanfics of that sort, please stop reading now. I admit that this isn't an entirely original idea, just something I wanted to do after playing Mega Man X games and watching Love Hina.

It was summertime, and reploids and humans alike everywhere were having a great time in the sunshine. However, things were a bit different at Maverick Hunter HQ. X, the quintessential ultra-shy intellectual, was spending his time reading and assisting Alia with inputting various information codes into the Maverick Hunter HQ database with the data collected on previous reploids. Of course, doing so was quite stressful, so that called for lots and lots of caffeine.

Alia and X were both jumpy and wired. Their faces were pasty and pale from many endless nights, and they both seemed like they could collapse at any second. Their fingers were worked to the proverbial bone from doing so much. Signas just walked by to see them working.

"Oh, hello X, hello Alia!" he shouted, waving politely.

"W-wha? Who's there? Signas! W-we're w-working hard! Almost done, almost done!" X shouted, almost twitching.

"Maybe you should take a break-"

"Break? No, no breaks, we've been working non-stop!" Alia interrupted.

Signas' face showed signs of concern as he eyed Alia and X. He didn't believe that working so hard was really healthy.

"Um, Alia, X, maybe you should take a breather..." Signas muttered.

X and Alia didn't even pay attention to what Signas had to say. They just worked away without paying attention to anything else, slamming coffees in unison.

"I'll just...be going now," Signas added, walking away.

Signas then came to Zero and Axl, who were in the training room. They were both drenched in sweat as they pounded away on their opponents, using any nearby thing as a possible weapon. Of course, they employed their usual reckless attitudes in their fighting, so almost anyting in the room was decimated. Signas took notice, and took cover obviously.

"Zero! Axl! How long have you been in here?" Signas shouted, making sure not to be hit by anything that might fly by.

"About 3 days!" Zero shouted, hammering away at a training dummy.

Pieces of the dummy went flying across the room, and Zero pretty much destroyed any training equipment that was in his possession. The crimson hunter was having too much fun to realize that he had been up three days straight training. Axl was in a similar boat, and Signas really wanted to make sure that no stray bullets would hit him.

"Axl, have you been here with Zero all this time?" Signas asked.

"Yes sir!" Axl shouted.

Signas then left that room, rubbing the back of his head in mild embarassment. He was starting to get the feeling that his associates were wound REALLY tight. Signas decided to held elsewhere...he was bound to find at least one person who wasn't on the verge of insanity. At least that's what he assumed.

Signas them came across Layer and Pallette, who were both busying updating the new navigation system. They were both frazzled, and their eyes obviously conveyed the sense that they had to stay awake without the luxury of caffeine.

"Um...Pallette, Layer, are you two alright?" Signas asked.

"That's ok, we don't own a cat..." Pallette replied, half-asleep.

Layer was even more out of it, struggling futilely to stay awake. She lazily typed away on the keyboard, but what she put in was mere gibberish. She couldn't even keep her head up. Signas shook his head in response, and decided to take a stand. His associates, whether they admitted it or not, NEEDED some time off, and badly.

Signas rushed off to his command room and turned on the intercom system. He made sure to turn it to the maximum volume so everyone would hear it no matter who asleep they were.

"ATTENTION ALL SENIOR MAVERICK HUNTER STAFF! FROM THIS POINT ONWARD, YOU ARE NOW ALL ON FORCED VACATION! YOU ARE TO LEAVE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY!" Signas shouted.

Signas then leaned back in his chair, waiting for the praise to come back to him. He could picture his team leaving, them coming back refreshed, ready to go. Instead, he saw an angry mob just outside his door.

"What do you mean vacation! I haven't finished training!" Zero screamed.

"I can't leave now, I have so much work to do!" Alia added.

"Signas, think about how much productivity we'll lose!" X shouted.

"How can you do this to us?" Pallette sobbed.

"Alright, all of you...OUT!" Signas shouted, pushing them all out the door. "You're on vacation!"
