My Note: Ok, here it is. I'm finally submitting my story.

My Crush, Deleted, Secret Out

It has been two days since Chaud had seen the evil Protoman face to face the second time. He didn't know what to do now, but trying to find a cure for the dark chips. While Chaud was busying with the dark chips, Lan was at home doing nothing.

"Why, Lan. How come you're at home when you're supposed to be outside hanging out with your friends?" Mrs. Hikari asked.

"Maylu's going to the mall with her friends and Chaud is busy finding a cure for the dark chips," answered Lan.

"How about that girl named Linh?" asked Mrs. Hikari. Before Lan could answered, the doorbell rang.

"Oh, I'll get that," said Mrs. Hikari rushing to the door. A few seconds later, Mrs. Hikari called out, "Lan, your friend's here!"

"Ok!" Lan called back. That must be Chaud, he thought. Lan went to see who it was. It was not Chaud.

"Hey, what's up Lan!" Linh said cheerfully.

"Oh, hey there Linh. What brings you here?" Lan asked.

"I was pretty bored at home, so I thought maybe I could stop by at your house," Linh explained.

"Oh, I was pretty bored myself too. Want to take a walk outside?" Lan suggested.

"Sure."

"Well, see ya Mom," said Lan as he took off.

"Bye, Mrs. Hikari," Linh said politely.

"Good-bye you two. Have fun," Mrs. Hikari said cheerfully.

Lan and Linh walked quietly aroud the neighborhood. "So Chaud's busy, huh?" Linh asked.

"Yeah. He really missed Protoman," Lan answered. They walked to a building and stopped.

"So Lan, have you ever have a crush?" Linh asked.

Lan blushed. "Me? Oh…uh…hey why should I tell you!"

"It's Maylu, right?" Linh laughed.

"Lan's face grew hotter. "Fine, you got me there. Well since you know my crush, why don't you tell me who's your crush? You do have one, do you?" Lan grinned.

Now it's Linh's turn to blush. "Well, I….," she started.

"Hey what's up, Angelgirl," greeted Lan's net navi, Megaman.

"Oh, hi there," Linh's net navi, Angelgirl greeted back.

"I was just wondering, don't you have a crush?" Megaman asked.

"Well, yeah. But I'm not telling you!" Angelgirl frowned. "I know you like Roll though."

Megaman blushed. "Yeah. Hmm…let me guess who's your crush. Is it Protoman?"

Now Angelgirl blushed. "Well, yeah," she admitted, but then her face grew sad.

"I know how you feel. He's our enemy now," said Megaman.

"Look, I don't want to talk about it," said Angelgirl. Megaman looked at her. He really felt sorry for her.

"Is it Chaud?" Lan guessed wildly.

Linh laughed nervously. "Why would I like him?"

Lan skipped around Linh, grinning. "Well he's rich, smart, and perhaps good-looking too," Lan explained.

"Uh….," Linh couldn't think of anything else to say.

"So it is him! Linh and Chaud, sitting on a tree---," Lan began to teased.

Linh got embarrassed. "Would you just zip it!" she said angrily.

"Ok, sorry," Lan laughed.

"Promise not to tell anyone," said Linh.

"My lips are sealed," Lan said, taking his finger and pretending to zip his my mouth.

Suddenly, a scream came out. It was coming from inside the building. Lan and Linh rushed inside and found an elevator being stuck.

"This is bad, Lan," Megaman's voice said from the PET.

"Yeah, I know. Let's jack you in to fix this," said Lan.

"You got it," Megaman replied.

"Lan! Lan!" a voice cried. Lan and Linh turned around and saw Chaud running toward them.

"Oh, hey Chaud," said Lan. "I'm going to jack Megaman in now."

"Wait, Lan. I think you should let me take care of this," said Linh.

"Are you sure?" asked Lan. Linh nodded.

"Angelgirl, let's jack you in, now!" she exclaimed.

"I'm in," said Angelgirl from the PET.

"Do you see anything?" asked Chaud.

"There's nothing in here," answered Angelgirl.

"That's strange," said Linh.

"Wait, I see something," Angelgirl said. She looked in front of her. There was a beam of light and then it faded. Now Angelgirl can see someone. It was Protoman. Only this time, he looked different.

"Hello, Angelgirl. We meet again. Call me Dark Protoman," chuckled Dark Protoman.

"Protoman, what's gone into you?" Angelgirl gasped.

"What! Protoman!" yelled Lan.

"It's Dark Protoman now," Chaud corrected.

"It's time for you to be deleted," Dark Protoman said to Angelgirl.

"Sorry, that's not going to happen," Angelgirl said angrily.

"Celestial Arrow, battle chip in! Download!" shouted Linh.

A golden arrow appeared in one of Angelgirl's hands. Angelgirl flew up high, holding the arrow steady and aimed at Dark Protoman.

"Celestial Arrow!" cried Angelgirl, shooting the arrow at Dark Protoman. The arrow flew toward him, multiplying more arrows around it.

"Is that the best you can do!" said Dark Protoman with and evil laugh. He dodged the arrows and jumped high towards Angelgirl, hitting her with his sword.

"Angelgirl, no!" Linh cried out.

"Dark Protoman, stopped now!" Chaud yelled to the PET.

Angelgirl was about to be deleted now. She looked at Dark Prooman in pain. "How could you? I'd really liked you," said Angelgirl breathlessly. Then she said to Linh, "I was very honored to be your net navi, Linh."

"No, don't go!" Linh cried out in tears.

Angelgirl was gone now. Dark Protoman smiled. "We'll shall meet again, Chaud," he said and then disappeared.

The elevator opened and the people got out. Linh looked at her PET. It was shutted down. Her tears came out nonstopping.

"Linh, I'm so sorry," said Chaud. He could feel the tears in his eyes. This was all my fault, he thought. They walked outside.

"Are you okay?" Lan asked.

"I…I got to go now," sobbed Linh. She ran away quickly.

"Linh," said Chaud. Lan and he walked a bit, not knowing what to do.

"I feel very bad," said Chaud, looking down at his feet.

"Yeah, Linh was just crushing on you and now this happened," Lan said, with his hands in his pockets.

Chaud frozed. "What did you say?" he asked Lan.

Now it's Lan's turn to froze. "I didn't say anything. It's not like I said Linh was just crushing on you," said Lan nervously.

"Look, I gotta go now," said Chaud, eyeing Lan closely. He walked away.

"Now you've done it," said Megaman from Lan's PET.

"I know. Linh's gonna be so mad at me," Lan said quietly.

So do you like it? It's horrible, but if you like it please tell me!
