Disclaimer: If I owned Rockman, I'd send everybody a dollar. Seeing as how you haven't received one, take a guess.
Author's Notes: Thanks for the positive reviews! It really helps me feel like writing even more, especially when I'm having writer's block! Hopefully I can fill this story with as many cool and funny moments (possibly a little romantic things here and there) as I can. One thing I enjoy the most about writing is creating the most unique situations I can think of! So be prepared to see things never seen before! (Or at least not very often) Oh yeah, and Hikari no Namida, I haven't mentioned the time they'd stay for yet, but you'll find out why in this chapter!
Chapter 3 – Cooking CrazinessThe gang thought about their predicament. They were on an island, alone, meaning they would have to cook, clean, and wash for themselves. They shuddered at the thought of it.
"Aw man, I don't wanna clean!" Netto growled. "Why can't we just tell Mr. Meijin to send us some workers?" Suddenly Netto received email.
"First of all, no formalities are needed, Meijin is fine. Secondly, no ships will arrive on the island until we think you have been there long enough to find as many bugs as you can. If anything should go wrong, we will not be held responsible for your injuries/deaths. That is all. –Meijin." Rockman read nervously out of the PET (Netto had let him carry it to see what it's like).
"Gosh, how does that guy ALWAYS know when I say something!? It's driving me crazy!" Netto grabbed his head in frustration. "No wonder he didn't tell us how long we'd be here."
"Injuries slash deaths?" Dekao considered cautiously. "I don't like the sound of that."
"I don't think any of us like that, idiot." Enzan said calmly. "Look, he said no ships are going to come, so we're going to have to do this ourselves." He made for the kitchen. "Hurry up, Protoman."
"Yes sir!" Protoman jumped up and followed him.
"Enzan's right, guys." Meiru added. "Let's just start with getting some food." The others grumpily agreed and followed suit.
"Wow." Was all that Dekao could say at what they found. Food galore filled the pantry, with hundreds of different kinds of food. There was enough there to feed an army for years. The only problem was that it wasn't cooked.
"Alright, let us girls handle the cooking, you guys just get the ingredients for us, and set up the table!" Meiru assigned everyone to the various jobs. Meiru, Roll and Yaito would take care of the cooking, Gutsman and Dekao would carry ingredients for them, and Netto, Enzan, Rockman, and Protoman would handle the tables.
"Get to it!" Meiru commanded. Everyone hurried off to their duties, not wanting to piss her off.
Rockman and Protoman were finding it difficult working on the tables.
"Well, on the Net, you don't actually feel physical strain like this, 'cos we don't lift anything." Rockman explained.
"That's what you get with a human body!" Netto explained, wiping up the table. Enzan had brought some plates and bowls and arranged them when Netto finished wiping.
"You'll get used to it." Enzan told Rockman. "Besides, you Navis fought supervillians and the like. I'm sure living like a human couldn't be that hard."
"I brought the cups, sir." Protoman managed to balance all the cups in his hands somehow, probably his super Navi balance.
"Lay them out next to the plates. Netto, go grab the drinks." Enzan was laying out utensils.
"I'm on it!" Netto went back into the kitchen, then stacked it at the sound of a loud bang.
"What happened?" Netto had looked up to see Meiru, Roll, and Yaito sprawled on the floor covered in soot.
"Roll didn't know that when pouring baking soda, you don't pour out the whole packet." Yaito said, with a slight tinge of annoyance.
"I'm sorry! It's just on the Net, we don't have to do measurements, it calculates everything for us!" Roll said, wiping her face off.
"We'll be fine, Netto! Just get back to work." Meiru had gotten up and dusted herself off.
"If you say so." Netto headed for the fridge and grabbed some soda bottles, then headed back for the table, only to stack it again on mashed potatoes. "What the hell?"
"Sorry, de gutsu!" Gutsman explained. "I accidentally crushed the potatoes in my hand." He pulled him up.
"Uh, yeah. Don't worry about it." He dizzily headed for the dining room. He was starting to realize having Navis in the real world wasn't going to be all fun and games.
After around two hours of hard work and numerous accidents, they had finally prepared something of a meal.
"Well, bring out the food!" The boys had taken a seat at the table. Roll came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of food, followed by Meiru and Yaito.
"Dinner is served!" They said as they placed the food on the table. The guys looked at it questioningly.
"Is this… Edible?" Dekao said, poking it. The so-called 'dinner' looked like something from a toilet.
"Sorry, that's my fault." Roll smiled nervously. "This is meant to be mashed potato with sausages, but I kinda mixed it all together."
Rockman saw she was feeling uncomfortable, so quickly took action.
"I'm sure it'll be just fine!" Rockman said, grabbing the plate and emptying some of it onto his. Everyone looked on as he took a mouthful. He chewed for a while then swallowed. The others watched him anxiously, including Roll. "This… IS GREAT!" He continued to chow down on it. "I never knew human food was so good!" He finished his plate and had another serving.
The other Navis watched him, and decided to try it too. Soon, all the Navis were pigging out like crazy, even Protoman, much to Enzan's dismay.
"This is great, guys! Try it!" Netto, Dekao, and Enzan nervously tipped some of it onto their plate. Netto was the first to take a bite.
"This… IS INCREDIBLE!" Netto began eating like there was no tomorrow. He wasn't even chewing anymore. "I can't believe how good this is! Great job, girls!"
Everyone laughed, and the girls took a seat to join in on the feast. Afterwards, the gang settled back and thought of what to do now.
"We should do something the Navis would enjoy!" Netto jumped up. "What's something that they couldn't do at all before when they were in the Cyber world?"
They thought about it for a few minutes.
"How about… Sport? We could play some soccer or something." Dekao offered.
"Maybe. What other ideas can we get?"
"Well, I still want to see what battle is like in the real world without Fusion." Protoman started.
"You can try that later! Right now, we're going to do things you can't do in the Cyber world!" Then Netto outside and had an idea. "And I've got just the thing!" He pointed outside the window. "Let's go swimming!"
The others nodded in approval.
"That's a great idea! There isn't any water on the Net, and I'm sure they'll love it!" Meiru squealed in delight. "Oh, but I didn't bring a bathing suit for Roll!" Yaito grabbed Roll and Meiru's arm.
"I'll take care of that! I brought some clothes for you anyway, and Roll looks just about the same size. Come on! Netto, do me a favor and get Glyde ready!" She dashed upstairs to her room, dangling Roll and Meiru off with her. The other guys just watched, chuckling quietly.
"Come on Gutsman! I'll lend you a pair of my Speedos! I got two in case I rip one!" Dekao went upstairs with Gutsman. (Good Lord, that's disturbing – Gutsman and Dekao in Speedos! MY EYES!)
"Protoman, let's move." Protoman nodded, and the two followed Dekao and Protoman up.
"Come on Rockman, Glyde! You're gonna have a blast!" Netto grabbed them and dashed upstairs.
The girls were in Yaito's room, where she had an amazingly large selection of bathing suits for Meiru and Roll.
"How about this one Roll?" Yaito held up a white, one-piece suit.
"No, that's not quite my color." Roll said, looking for a pink suit.
"Aha! Then I have just the thing!" Yaito literally scavenged through her suitcases, until she finally popped out holding a pink, two-piece bathing suit. It was simple, yet elegant, including a small skirt attached to the bottom.
"It's perfect!" Yaito handed it to her and she left to change. When she came out, Meiru and Yaito smiled.
"It looks great on you!" Meiru happily complimented her. "And I'm sure a certain blue bomber will like it even more than I do!" Roll blushed and laughed.
Yaito grinned at Meiru. "What about you, lover-girl? I'm sure you've brought something that can catch a few eyes! A pair of chocolate-brown eyes, to be exact" Meiru blushed slightly.
"W-What are you talking about? I just brought an ordinary outfit." She showed her plain, white suit to Yaito, who shook her head.
"That won't impress him! I have something even better! You can thank me later after he lets you go!" Yaito said with a large grin.
The guys were already at the beach, the girls telling them to go ahead without them. The beach indeed looked like a resort in itself, having some beach seats, umbrellas, even sunscreen and suntan lotion was in good stock.
"Come on guys!" Netto said to the Navis in their swim gear. Rockman was wearing blue shorts, Protoman a full body suit, and Gutsman Speedos, and their operators wore the same. Except for Glyde of course, who was wearing a pair of brown shorts lent to him by Netto.
They headed for the water. Dekao jumped in with a splash, followed by Enzan and Netto, who walked in after him. The Navis stood anxiously by the water. Gutsman slowly dipped a foot in the water, then quickly pulled it out.
"Is it… Safe, de gutsu?" Gutsman said carefully. Netto had an idea, and whispered something to Enzan. He nodded, and they got back out of the water.
"Well, there is one thing you gotta know before swimming." Netto said, as he and Enzan walked innocently behind them. "There's something dangerous in there, so you have to get into the water in just the right way."
"How is that?" Glyde asked nervously. Netto and Enzan put on evil grins.
"Like this!" They shoved will all their might, pushing the three Navis into the water. Gutsman immediately started splashing like an idiot.
"Help de gutsu! I can't swim, de gutsu!" He was freaking out, and Netto was laughing his ass off. Even Enzan had to chuckle.
"Try standing." Enzan told him. Gutsman slowly stopped splashing and stood up.
"….Phew, de gutsu!" He smiled stupidly. Everyone just laughed.
"Guys, we're here! Don't start without us!" They heard Meiru's voice call out. The boys got out of the water and looked at them.
"W… Wow." Enzan said, sounding surprisingly stupid. Netto followed his eyes onto Yaito, who was wearing a cute, one-piece outfit, with the same vibrant red as her usual dress.
Netto didn't look at her for long though, as his eyes automatically wandered over to the girl next to her. She was wearing the same style of bathing suit as Roll, but it was more reddish, bringing out the color of her hair. Netto found his jaw dropping and he couldn't pull it back up.
Rockman on the other hand, was staring at Roll. "Y-You look g-great!" He managed to say to her, turning as pink as her suit.
"Thanks Rock!" She ran up and hugged him, causing him to practically melt.
'Wow, having human body's really feels different. Not the same data collisions feeling I usually get. It feels pretty cool!' Rockman thought to himself, as the many sensors of the skin were used. Rockman had also found something else out. He blushed like crazy and grabbed himself where it counts, hoping no one was looking. 'Wow, that's never happened before!'
Dekao ran up to Meiru with hearts in his eyes. "Wow you look great! What say we have a nice swim together?" Meiru answered with her fist. Leaving Dekao sprawled on the sand, the girls went over to the guys were about to go swimming.
"Hold on a minute!" Yaito had an incredible idea. "Us girls have to take care of our skin!" She eyed the suntan and sunscreen stand. "Could you guys give us a rundown?" She said sweetly. Everyone but her went beet red.
"EH??" The guys all flinched back in surprise. Was she serious?
"Well, we all need some sunscreen before swimming, we have sensitive skin after all. It'll be faster if you guys did it for us!" She said approvingly. "Unless, you don't want to?"
The guys quickly recovered, not wanting to say no, partially because they didn't really mind doing it, but mostly because if they didn't, they'd be eating sand with Dekao.
"Of course we will!" They said in unison. They headed for the beach hut with the sunscreen, and the girls nervously lay down on the stomachs on some beach chairs.
Yaito told Glyde to check on Dekao, only to get him out of the way. Not really to check on Dekao's well-being.
"H-Here I go…" Netto said nervously, as he was rubbing sunscreen in his hands.
"Y-Yeah, thanks." Had she been facing him, she would've seen how red she was.
"I'm starting." Enzan said to Yaito, and she just hummed in acknowledgement.
"Ready Roll?" Rockman asked.
"Y-Yeah…" Roll was as pink as her suit.
The guys then started the job. You could see the awkwardness in them, as they nervously tried to cover up their backs.
"Hey wait, we're going to need you to reach everything." Yaito said evilly, with Meiru and Roll staring at her with red faces.
Yaito proceeded to remove her straps to expose the whole of her back, causing Enzan to have a nosebleed.
"Come on you two, we wouldn't want to ruin our skin." Yaito ordered them. They shyly undid the knot on the back of their two-pieces, now causing Netto and Rockman to bleed. This was a new sensation for Rockman especially, since he'd never had blood before.
Netto tried to act indifferent to it, but he had to admit he was enjoying this a lot. 'Man, if only I get to do this to her more often! Or maybe… More? Well, we ARE on an island, alone… Maybe now would be a good time to tell her…" Netto had lost his concentration on what he was doing, and his hands were slowly edging towards Meiru's butt.
"N-Netto? What are you doing!?" Meiru felt his hand slowly slip under her underwear and his hand rub sunscreen along her behind. "YOU PERVERT!" She kicked Netto on the head, knocking him out.
"Ouch." Rockman wiped his nose, and cringed at the sight of Netto's unconscious self. "I better be careful… Being human can be pretty painful, and scary. Scarier than Gospel." He whispered to himself. He focused all his attention on not rubbing Roll the wrong way.
They finished rubbing them up, and Netto had also woken up and finished the job. Finally, they all headed for the water, where Dekao and Glyde were already waiting.
"Let's go guys!" Dekao yelled waving. The six ran over, and the Navis spent their first day in the real world having their first trip to the beach. Water fights, races, ball games, the Navis had a great time.
