Disclaimer: TK here, unfortunately I don't own Megaman (begins to cry XD) I hope you enjoy this chapter; I'm really happy that I can finally devote more time to this story which appears to be more popular then Switched.

Chapter 3:

School Days

Lan woke up at the sound of Protoman's voice, "Master Chaud wake up you've over slept."

"I have?" Lan said as he stretched out then looked at the electronic clock next to Chaud's bed, "But it's 6 AM."

"Yes you were supposed to get up an hour ago you have some Official work to get through before school," Protoman reminded him.

'What Official work and school, this is going to be a long day," Lan thought as he dragged himself out of bed and over to Chaud's dresser to change into Chaud's customary black shirt, red vest, and army pants.

"The limo is waiting you'd better hurry, if you hadn't overslept you'd have time for your morning shower but I guess you'll have to take one tomorrow," Protoman informed "his master".

Lan started out the door when he remembered the battlechip from the day before and went back to the desk to grab it and place it in his pocket, 'I'll show this to Chaud later,' Lan thought and began walking down the stairs.

1 ½ Hours Later at Lan's House

"Lan wake up!" Megaman yelled being used to Lan never waking up.

"You don't have to yell so loud Pro… Megaman," Chaud said as he got up from the bed rubbed his eyes and looked down at the PET to see what time it was, "Oh my god I'm late it's already 7:30," Chaud panicked as he started to put on Lan's white shirt.

"What are you talking about Lan, you woke a half an hour earlier then usual," Megaman pointed out.

"Really?" Chaud asked as a smile spread across his face, 'Well since I do have some time on my hands Why don't I at least pick out something different to wear, I don't do short shorts," Chaud thought as he started to rummage through Lan's dresser drawers.

Ten minutes Chaud walked down the stairs with Megaman in the front pocket of his baggy jeans.

"Oh Lan you're actually awake, have some waffles, by the way I see your whering the shirt I bought you," Mrs. Hikari said smiling referring to the blue tee-shirt Chaud had on under Lan's now open orange vest, 'Should I tell him about what happened to his father, after what happened yesterday I'm not sure he could take the shock," Mrs. Hikari thought then grabbed two plates of waffles and sat down at the table and signaled for "her son" to join her.

Chaud carefully began to pour the maple syrup on the table and pour it over the hot waffles. He then began to cut it with his fork and knife and placed a few pieces into his mouth. "Thank you they are delicious," Chaud thanked and then continued to eat.

"It's so nice to actually eat breakfast with you for once, you're usually still asleep about now," Mrs. Hikari said cheerfully.

Fifteen minutes later they heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it honey," Mrs. Hikari told "Lan".

She opened the door to see Mayl standing at the door, "Good morning Mrs. Hikari, I'm so sorry, I heard that your husband was attacked last night," Mayl said sullenly.

"Yes about that I haven't told Lan yet so would you please not mention it to him," Mrs. Hikari begged.

"Of course, Wait is Lan actually awake!" Mayl asked dumbfounded, I was so rare to ever find Lan awake that Mayl had given up on walking to school with him years ago.

"Yes he's in the kitchen come in; he's just finishing up breakfast," Mrs. Hikari told her as she led Mayl into the kitchen.

"Hey Lan I see you're wearing a new outfit, awesome," Mayl commented, "So are you ready to head to school, you might actually make it on time for once."

"Uh sure let me just get my bag," Chaud replied then grabbed Lan's bag in the hallway then joined here in walking out the door.

"Bye Lan take care of Hub," Mrs. Hikari cheerfully told her "son".

'Who's Hub?' Chaud thought as he closed the door, "So where are we heading now?" Chaud asked.

"Just to pick up Dex and Yai," Mayl replied then continued onward.

Elsewhere

Lan rode in Chaud's limo heading for school. He was exhausted from all the work he had done and from the fact he was woken up so early. He had no idea how Chaud did all that Official work everyday, Lan hadn't understood the majority of it and on many occasions had to ask a confused Protoman for help.

At the moment though all Lan wanted to do was sleep as he stretched himself out across the seat. His eyes began to close and within the next few seconds Lan was fast asleep.

Back in ACDC

Chaud watched as Mayl knocked on the door and Lan's fat friend, whose name was apparently Dex, opened it. "Hey Mayl," Dex said then looked over at Chaud, "Lan you're actually awake and…" Dex started then got cut off by Chaud.

"Yeah I know I actually changed my clothes, yeah I didn't feel like wearing the same thing today." Chaud attempted at finishing Dex's sentence.

"Actually I was going to say I'm sorry about what happened to you're dad but now that you mention it, it's about time you changed your clothes," Dex told him as Yai rolled her eyes and a look of horror appeared on Mayl face.

"Huh? What happened to Dr. Hi… I mean my dad?" Chaud asked worrying.

"Well the newspaper says last night he was attacked at SciLab by Dr. Regal, luckily one of the other scientists was able to knock him out and he was arrested a few hours later by the Officials." Dex told Chaud as Mayl smacked her face.

'Dr. Hikari was attacked, this is entirely my fault, I should have been with him last night,' Chaud thought so overcome by grief he didn't have his normal suspicion.

"Thank goodness the Officials got there before Regal woke up otherwise he could have done a lot more damage," Yai interrupted trying to break the awkward silence "Lan" left.

"Speaking of Officials what did Chaud want yesterday, I heard you had an accident yourself, Chaud probably planned it. I don't trust that guy he's such a jerk," Dex snickered. Chaud just decided to walk away, best to avoid confrontation and not lower himself to the buffoon's level, "No wonder why his own father doesn't even want to be around him."

That last remark was the final straw for Chaud, before Dex knew what happened Chaud punched him straight across the face.

'Oh my God Lan looked so hot doing that," Mayl thought but what she said was, "Lan what are you doing? You just punched out Dex."

"Hmpf, the buffoon deserved it," Chaud told the red head then began crossing the street to avoid Lan's friends.

"See what you did now he mad at us," Mayl nagged Dex.

"Me, he's the one who punched me," Dex argued.

"You started it, why are you always making fun of Chaud, you know he's Lan's friend and he's actually an ok guy," Mayl yelled at Dex loud enough for Chaud to hear from across the street and stare in bewilderment.

"That's cause you're a girl and he believes in that chivalry crap, like that's ever gonna come in handy in the real world," Dex said cockily as he earned his second blow to the head for the day as Mayl smacked him across the face then crossed the street to join "Lan". "What did I say?" He asked Yai.

"You are such an idiot," was all she told him.

Elsewhere

Lan woke up to the sight of Chaud's chauffeur shaking him back and forth, "Wake up Master Blaze It's time for you to go to school."

"I'm awake I'm awake," Lan yawned then got up out of the limo, as he began walking he began to over hear two, apparently, Japanese exchange students.

"Netto did you here about that break in at SciLab last night?" asked the white haired one.

"Yeah Ezan didn't some scientist get attacked some Dr. Hikari or something like that," Netto answered with a question of his own.

'Dad!' Lan thought as he began running over to the two, "Wait what happened to Dr. Hikari?" Lan asked.

"Oh I see someone's talkative today Chaud I'll make you a deal, beat me in a netbattle and I'll give you the article, It's in my bag," Netto challenged.

"Fine by me, Jack in Protoman power up," Lan yelled jacking Protoman into the nearby security device.

Ms. Mari's Classroom

Chaud and Mayl entered the classroom and Mayl sat down in her desk, Chaud began to look around and saw the name "LAN" carved into the desk next to Mayl and sat down.

"OK class today we'll be having a pop quiz," Ms. Mari announced as she entered the room. The students all groaned as she began passing it out.

"Good luck Lan," Mayl whispered into Chaud's ear as a quiz was put on his desk.

"Um you too," Chaud whispered back.

"OK class you may now begin." Ms. Mari announced as she finished handing out the quiz.

Chaud looked down and immediately began to smile, 'This is way to easy, I learned this stuff last year,' Chaud thought as he began to fill in the answers. "Um excuse me I'm finished," Chaud alerted the teacher.

"Really Lan you shouldn't give up so soon I'm sure you'll be able to figure out a few more problems," Ms. Mari said trying to comfort "Lan".

"Excuse me I didn't give up I completed it all," Chaud said walking up to the teacher's desk and showed her his finished quiz. Ms. Mari immediately began to grade the quiz thinking "Lan" had just randomly written down answers and was shocked to see that it was all correct and he even showed his work.

"Attention class Lan Hikari has just completed a pop quiz early ad scored 100. I hope you all remember our apocalypse drills, everyone duck ad cover," Ms. Mari started to scream. Chaud just stood there dumbfounded as everyone ducked under their desks.

OK I'm finished with this chapter I'll probably write two more before I start my new story, well I hope you enjoyed this. Keep on reviewing.
