THE CLIFF

WHOO-HOO! Chapter three is up!

Now to answer reviews!

Banbie Bunny's Bro: Glad to see that I'm not boring my readers to death! Lol. Thanks for the suggestion. The reason I made Bass say that is because of some writer's pebbles (Which is a small version of writers block where you have a story with no details) that got in my way. That makes it a good thing that this is a fanfiction!

Maverick Hunter Phoenix: I'm glad you like it so much. See, I updated even though I only got 4 reviews for last chapter! Hope you like this one!

Funyons: I don't plan to stop! I've gotten most of the story written on paper! I just need to type it up!

Snickerer: Thanks! It's nice to know my first romance fiction is going well! I really like the cliff game myself. Gives, "If Bass jumped off a cliff, would you do the same?" a whole new meaning. Lol

On to the chapter!

THE CLIFF: CHAPTER 4

SETTING THE STAGE

Roll had just put the medi-kit away when Rock and Blues came bounding through the door of the kitchen.

"It's a good thing you were there to stop Bass, Blues. That shot you made that took out his buster arm was awesome!"

"Thanks. It's a pity Bass couldn't stay longer. But then, I suppose it's in his nature to run like the coward he is." mocked Blues. Roll pretended she hadn't heard that last comment, but her face heated up a little in anger. It was a good thing she was facing the cabinets, and not her brothers!

Rock spotted her. "Hey Roll! Where've you been?"

Roll turned to face them, putting a smile on her face. "Oh, I just went out for a walk through the woods." she said.

"You've been doing that a lot! Is it that nice out there?" Rock asked with curiosity.

"Yes. It's very nice out there." Roll answered, recalling the terrific view from the cliff top.

"What did you have the medi-kit for?" Blues asked coolly.

Roll thought fast. "I… brought it to the lab, where you were fighting. Just in case. I must have forgotten to put it away before I left."

Blues 'hmphed!' and walked off.

Rock watched his brother leave, then walked over and put a hand on Roll's shoulder. "Hey Roll, you ok? You've been acting kind of odd lately." he asked, worry written on his face.

"Of course I'm ok, silly!" she replied, although the smile on her face seemed more stressed.

Rock, not noticing anything, smiled back. "Ok. Hey, do you mind if I come with you next time you go for a walk?"

Roll was about to say no, since she figured Bass would probably blow Rock up on sight, but she couldn't resist her brother's pleading look. She hoped Bass wouldn't mind.

"Of course you can!"

Rock and Roll (Lol) stood at the base of the cliff, looking up at the peak.

"WOW! That's soooo high!" Rock said in a mixture of amazement and wonder.

"Yeah, it is…" Roll said, not really paying attention. She was looking for a certain bot at the top of the cliff.

"Whatcha looking for, Roll?" Rock asked, looking over at his sister.

"Ummm… there was a big birds nest the other day, on the cliff side. I wanted to show it to you,…" Her lies trailed off as she saw Bass's familiar helmet then face peer over the edge of the cliff. Bass hesitated when he saw Rock, but finally beckoned Roll to come up. He disappeared from view just as Rock looked up. Rock pouted playfully.

"I don't see the nest."

Roll shook her head. "I don't see it either. Want to see the view from the top?"

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

"Wow! You can see everything from up here!" Rock marveled.

'Not everything,' Bass smirked to himself. He had hidden himself in one of the large trees at the top of the cliff where he sat watching the two light-bots. Roll sat down in her usual spot and Rock sat beside her.

"You should see when the sun sets," Roll commented. "It's really quite beautiful."

"I'm sure it is." Rock agreed. Something caught his eye. "Hey! You can even see Wily's fortress from here!"

Roll looked too. She had never noticed that. "Yeah, you can can't you?"

Suddenly, a flash of light erupted from Wily's fortress, startling all three of the bots on the cliff.

"What was that?" Rock yelped in surprise.

"Rock!" a voice buzzed from his communicator.

"What is it Dr. Light?" Rock asked.

"I need you to come back to the lab, pronto!" There was a crackle as the link turned off.

"Aww… Well, I'd better go. Are you coming?" Rock asked his sister.

"Nah. I think I'm going to stay here for awhile."

"Alright. Just don't come home too late." Rock teleported out. Roll waited for a minute, then asked, "Are you going to come out?"

Bass dropped from the tree, landing with a dull thud. He walked over, but stayed standing.

"I suppose you're mad at me…" Roll said sadly.

"…" silence from Bass.

"I'm sorry I brought Rockman here. I really shouldn't have. This was your spot, and I had no right to-"

"I'm not mad." Bass interrupted.

"And I- Wait, what?" Roll asked, confused.

"I'm not mad. Not really. Just surprised." Bass sat down and chuckled. "That's one heck of a curveball I didn't expect." They were quiet for a moment, then Bass decided to speak again. "Roll, do you-?"

Treble howled at the bottom of the cliff, cutting Bass off. Roll and Bass heard Crash shout, "Bass! You're needed back at the base!"

Bass leaned over the cliff so Crash could see him. "What the hell are you doing here!" he shouted angrily to Crash.

"I'm here because you forgot to turn on your communication link, idiot!"

"Whoops…" Bass said sheepishly. Roll giggled.

"I'll be right down!" Bass shouted, stepping away from the cliff edge.

"Bass, what are you- HOLY HECK!" Crash screamed as Bass jumped off the cliff. Treble acted quickly this time, fusing with Bass almost instantly. Roll peeked over the edge to see Bass land. For a moment, she forgot Crash was there and waved to Bass. When he didn't wave back, she remembered that Crash was there. She ducked back quickly, but she saw Crash gape in her direction. She had been spotted. Crash spoke loudly.

"Well, because I happened to have a heart attack at that specific moment because Bass just jumped off a cliff, I completely missed the fact that someone else was up there!"

It took Roll a minute to figure out what he meant. Then it hit her. Crash was pretending he hadn't seen her so she and Bass wouldn't get into trouble with their creators. She peeked over the edge again, but they were already gone. She breathed a sigh of relief, then started to head home.

"Let's see what Dr. Light's doing."

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Dr. Light was frantic. "Roll! Thank goodness you're home!" he cried when he saw her. "I need you to take this medi-kit to Rock and Blues. I sent them to Wily's fortress to retrieve the plans that Bass stole, but they haven't replied to any of my messages!"

Hearing this, Roll was worried… and curious. "What exactly did Bass steal?"

"Some very complex plans to build a robot that could feel, think, choose for himself. It would be called a Reploid, and it would be the peak of robotics! It is also very powerful."

"That's not good. Should I leave now?"

"Yes! We must get those plans back as fast as we can!"

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

ALL RIGHT! That's chapter three!

And some more good news: I've gotten up to chapter 5-6 written down on paper, so all I have to do is post it! However, unless I get some reviews, I won't continue! So pretty pretty please review!
