I own nothing, though I wish I did.

MegaMan fired his buster again, this time striking relatively close to Bass. Bass continued to pelt Mega with his own buster, but had taken severe damage in the process. MegaMan called Rush to help him, and the robot K-9 attached quickly to its master. He formed himself into a jet pack. Bass realized that MegaMan now had the advantage, but still tried his hardest to beat down the blue bomber.
Suddenly, MegaMan fired a fully charged buster shot at Bass, who took the hit. Bass exploded.

"AAARRRGGG!! DANG IT MEGAMAN, I CAN'T EVEN BEAT YOU IN VIDEO GAMES!!! WHY?!?"

"Bass, calm down. It's just a video game."

"Shut up! Stupid little blue freak..." Bass stormed off into the kitchen.

"Sheesh. You can win against Bass in everything. He has the worst personality ever, and that's why he always loses!" Roll smiled as she tossed MegaMan a candy. "That's for beating him up for me."

"Thanks Roll. I can't help but feel sorry for him, though. He was created to fight against me, and I don't think he can see past that."

"True, he may be created to fight, but you were originally created to be Dr. Light's assistant. Now look at you. You've become the strongest, bravest hero on the planet!"

"Yeah, but that doesn't matter Roll. I just did that to protect you and Dr. Light, and everyone else on the planet. I didn't want to be the strongest robot ever..."

Dr. Light and Chii walked down the crowded streets of Tokyo. Chii stared around in wonder of all the sights and sounds around her. "Chii."

"What is it Chii?" Dr. Light looked at her. She pointed toward a bookstore. "Oh! That's a bookstore. We could probably get some reading material for you and MegaMan there..." Dr. Light walked into the store, closely followed by Chii.

"Dr. Light, what's a book?"

"Oh! A book is a bundle of paper that has words printed in it. You can learn a lot of things from books."

After a while of searching, Dr. Light had picked out a few books. He suddenly noticed Chii had left his side. When he finally found Chii, she was staring at a picture book entitled 'The city where no one was.' She slowly reached for the book, but Dr. Light picked it up first.

"Chii?" She blinked at him.

'Hmmm... A picture book? Might just work!' Dr. Light nodded. "I buy it for you as a present!"

"Present?"

Dr. Light sighed. "I'll buy it for you." he explained.

"For Chii?"

"That's right." Dr. Light smiled. 'She learns quickly!'

"Chii!"

"Chii, you really should say 'thank you' when someone gives you a gift."

"Thank... you? Thank you!" She hugged Dr. Light.

------

After another half hour passed. Dr. Light and Chii made their way to the lab, and arrived just in time for dinner.

"Everyone, me and Chii are home!"

"Welcome back Dr. Light!" Roll came out of the kitchen, frying pan in hand.

"Hello 'Dad'." ProtoMan was surfing the Internet.

"Hello Chii." MegaMan smiled and walked over to Chii.

"Hello MegaMan!" Chii hugged MegaMan tightly. "Dr. Light gave me a present!" She released her vice grip on his stomach and showed him the book.

"Really? That was nice of Dr. Light." MegaMan looked at the book Chii had shoved in his face. "The city where no one was... Sounds pretty deep. We'll read it after dinner, okay?"

"Chii!" Chii nodded happily.

"Uh, Chii? You would say 'yes' then."

"Yes." She repeated it.

"So... What are we all sitting around here for? LETS EAT!" Dr. Light grabbed Mega and Chii, dragging them into the kitchen. When they did arrive, Dr. Light hid behind Mega. "AHHHH!!! IT'S BASS!"

Bass sipped his tea. "Mega-boy here invited me, Dr. Idiot."

"Oh."

"Could you guys sit down? I'm really hungry." ProtoMan pulled out his chopsticks.

"And what did you do all day? You sat around and watched the news!" Roll brought a bowl of instant ramen to the table for each person.

"Hey! Just so you know, I also looked up more information about Persocoms." He leaned over and whispered in Roll's ear. "Persocoms can't eat, ya know?"

"What?" Roll looked over at Chii, who was about to eat some of the ramen. "What do you mean Persocoms can't eat?" Chii stopped, and looked over at Roll.

"Chii can't eat food?" She looked rather confused.

"Yeah. Persocoms are not designed to eat or drink anything. They live on an internal battery source that should be infinite. We eat because Dr. Light and Dr. Wily designed us to transform Food into energy. We can take energy in directly, but that's only in emergencies. (I.E., when we're fighting Dr. Wily's creations.)"

"Chii." Chii put down the ramen, her face looking rather sad. The rest of the group began to chow down.

'Hm... Humanity has put so many limitations on machines. Yet, machines can be just as alive as humans. I'll have to fix this!' Dr. Light swallowed some noodles.

------

Chii snuggled up to MegaMan, who started to read the book. The picture showed a rabbit shaped Persocom.

"There was no one in that city at all. It is night, and the houses and buildings are lit from within. There were houses, to be sure, and from the windows light was shining, but there was no one in the streets at all."

The rabbit Persocom leaned up to a window.

"I peeked through one of the windows. There was someone there, but it was with one of THOSE. I looked into the other houses, and the people were always with one of THOSE."

The rabbit Persocom stands in the streets of the city, looking rather sad.

"This city is just the same as all the others." It begins to walk, head bowed in sorrow.

"I will go on a journey. I will go and try another city. I wish somebody would find me. Somebody for me alone." It closes its eyes, but keeps walking. "But if that somebody for me alone should come to care only for me, that will be the moment of our parting."

The Persocom walks on. "Still, I want to meet someone for me alone. I will hold to that thought as I travel again through the city where no one was."

"Wow. That was REALLY deep!" MegaMan shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm not sure getting this book was such a good idea Dr. Light." Bass looked over to Dr. Light, who had his nose stuck in the 'Persocoms for dummies' book.

"Oh, I'm sure it will be fine. You may not get it because your AI is so advanced. Perhaps it's one of those books that make sense only to kids."

"Hey Chii, do you understand it?" MegaMan looked down at Chii. Her eyes were rather blank. "Chii?"

Chii suddenly started humming, and her long hair began to rise. "CHII!" MegaMan grabbed her shoulders, somehow stopping whatever was going on. She looked up at him again, her eyes normal.

"Chii?"

'Okay, what the heck was that all about?' Bass looked on as MegaMan walked Chii to her bed (which, conveniently, was right next to his rest capsule). "Dr. Light, something is fishy about that Persocom."

"You're right. When I took her over to Minoru's house earlier, four of his custom Persocoms couldn't get past Chii's password."

"Four custom Persocoms? Jeez! Even I know that can't happen! Four custom human-sized Persocoms can easily break into one normal Persocom's systems." ProtoMan rubbed his chin.

"This Chii is a very special one..." Dr. Light muttered to himself. 'Could she be a Chobit? No, that project was canceled before she could be finished...'

------

MegaMan laid Chii in her bed. The Persocom had fallen asleep before they reached her bed. Quietly, he pulled the covers over Chii. He tiptoed to his rest capsule (which made more noise than normal walking because of his metal shoes), and soon fell asleep.
Chii woke up in the middle of the night. She quietly removed the sheets from her bed and made her way to MegaMan's capsule. She slipped in quietly, wrapping both herself and Mega in the blankets. She fell asleep with her head on his chest.

Aww... So kawaii! ; Yeah. So there. I'm done for now. REVIEW, or something like that!
