It was an outing set up by their navis. Meiru immediately knew what was going on. Netto, not so much. It was an annual festival downtown and Meiru had been excitedly waiting for the date ever since her mom took her out to her a new kimono. She now excitedly twirled in front of Netto in the pink flower print outfit. "Do you like it?" she asked.

Netto blinked and looked to his navi in the monitor over Meiru's shoulder. Rockman made a quick hand gesture as if to say 'well say something.' "You look," he searched for the right word, "nice."

Meiru narrowed her eyes. "Is that it?"

/I can't win/ Netto wailed to his twin.

/She's been excited about this for weeks, say something nice/ Rockman said.

/I did/

/Netto, put some effort into it/ Rockman sighed.

"You look really pretty tonight, Meiru," Netto said finally.

Meiru's gaze softened into a smile, "Thanks," she said softly. "Are you ready to go?"

Netto nodded and Rockman went into his PET. They left Netto's house and walked down the road into the festival. Meiru grabbed Netto's arm in sheer excitement and they boy didn't protest. Roll came into Rockman's PET and they smiled knowingly at one another. Everything was going according to plan.

Meiru squealed with joy as a goldfish jumped out of the pond in the Goldfish Game. "Netto, look, isn't it pretty?" she asked.

Netto nodded, "Yeah, but that game is really hard."

"Come on, it's fun! Let's play!" she said, dragging Netto over to the stand.

Netto followed as best he could and the Booth Keeper gave them a grin. "You two want to play?" he asked.

"Two wands and nets please!" she asked.

The Booth Keeper gave them two paper wands and the nets to catch the fish in. "Good luck," he said.

Meiru kneeled down by the pond with a look of concentration on her face. She saw the fish swim by and she quickly dunked the wand into the water. The fish fell through the soaked paper and she groaned.

"That was close, Meiru-chan!" Roll said in an effort to cheer her operator up.

"Netto-kun, why don't you try?" Rockman suggested.

Netto nodded and knelt down by the pool. He had no more luck then Meiru and all he got in return for his efforts was a giggle from Meiru and Roll.

The Shop Keeper laughed. "Want to try again, kids?" he asked, holding up two more wands.

They nodded and took the tools. Five more tries later and very little pocket money left they agreed on only one more go round.

Meiru flicked the wand into the pool and for a second the fish was air born, however she wasn't fast enough with the net and the fish plopped back into the pool.

Netto smiled, "That was really close," he said with a hint of a laugh.

He knelt down and gave his try, but he had no more luck them Meiru. They laughed over their defeat and moved on. Later they watched the fireworks and spent the last of their money on sweet been cookies. Then it was time to go.

As hey were leaving Netto looked down and spotted a coin in the dirt. He picked it up and looked at the goldfish game. "I'll be right back," he said to Meiru and ran off.

Meiru looked puzzled but waited patiently for Netto to return. "I wonder what he's doing?" she asked wistfully.

"Maybe it's a surprise," Roll giggled.

Meiru laughed with her navi and they waited for two more minutes. Netto came running up then and smiled. "Thanks for waiting," he said.

"What did you do?" she asked.

Netto held up a plastic baggie with a fish swimming around inside. He looked away blushing and Meiru gasped with delight. "For me?"

"I saw change on the ground," he murmured. "Yeah," he said.

"Meiru took the goldfish and linked her arm though his and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thanks, Netto."

Netto blushed like mad and smiled. "You're welcome."

Th two navi's shared a knowing smile. Tonight was a success.
