Chapter 5:
Close Relations
Chaud was finishing his dinner of spaghetti with Mrs. Hikari's homemade sauce on it when Megaman contacted him, "Uh "Lan" you've got an e-mail."
"Thanks Megaman, mother may I be excused?" Chaud asked Lan's mother.
"Of course dear though now I don't know what I'll do with all this extra pasta since your not have your normal seconds, thirds, and fourths," Haruka giggled and Dr. Regal laughed along realizing that the comment was probably funny though he didn't know enough about Lan to completely get it.
Chaud quickly dashed up the stairs and into Lan's room, shutting the door behind him then laid down on Lan's bed on his back, looking up at Megaman's PET. "Who's it from Megaman?" Chaud asked as he played with Lan's headband.
"It's from… It's from," Megaman began then whispered, "Lan."
"Megaman we're alone you don't have to whisper," Chaud told the net navi.
"I'm sorry I'm just still a little new to this Chaud," Megaman replied as he scratched the back of his neck embarrassedly.
"So what does it say?" Chaud questioned as he rolled over and propped himself on his elbows and peered back down at the PET.
"It says, 'I found out something you may find interesting, Protoman told me that I shouldn't write my findings just to be on the safe side so when you get this message please call me, I'll be on my way back to the mansion Lan,'" Megaman read to his current operator.
"Thank you, now would you please connect me to Protoman's PET please?" Chaud asked Megaman.
"Sure here you go," the blue net navi replied as Lan appeared on the screen.
"Hey Chaud I was wondering when you'd contact me," Lan told his partner.
"Yes well I had to finish dinner first so what was it that you wanted to tell me?" Chaud asked.
"I'm not sure if this is important but I was told that the blue prints for the synchro machine are missing," Lan informed him.
"Really? Is anything else missing?" Chaud questioned, holding the PET closer to his face.
"Nope, so what do you think is happening?" Lan asked as he scratched his head.
"Well I think that your father may have been right, Dr. Regal may have viewed it as a threat and wanted to make sure that it couldn't be rebuilt so he had the blue prints destroyed," Chaud told him.
"That makes a lot of sense, hanks Chaud seeya," Lan said then disappeared from the screen.
Megaman looked up and could see that something was wrong, "Chaud what's wrong?" Megaman asked concernedly.
"Something about this doesn't seem right, it's just too obvious," Chaud said the fell down into Lan's pillow.
Meanwhile Downstairs
"Well honey I'm off to SciLab, I have some very important business to take care of," Dr. Regal said as he got up from his seat.
"No dear, you are in no condition to go to work today," Haruka told "her husband" then get up and kissed him on the cheek.
"Fine so what do you want to do in the mean time," Dr. Regal chuckled then winked as he got closer.
"Oh Yuichiro," Mrs. Hikari coyly replied, holding her hands over her now reddened cheeks.
Elsewhere
As Lan ended the transmission, he placed the red PET pack inside the pocket of Chaud's camouflage pants. He leaned back on the leather seat then looked out the window at the scenery of the area and relaxed into the seat.
Forty five minutes later the limo drove past the gates at the entrance of the Blaze mansion and up the long driveway. "Master Blaze we've arrived home," the limo driver said cheerfully as he turned in front of staircase that leads to the front door of Chaud's family's manor.
"Finally," Lan exclaimed rudely as he got out of the car and quickly ran up the long staircase.
The doors seemed to automatically open but then upon closer inspection Lan could see a small man in a black tailed suit holding the door open, "Master Blaze your dinner is ready," said a man in the same attire.
"Thanks…" Lan began then took the PET from his pocket and whispered to Protoman," Who is he?"
"That's Chives the butler," Protoman whispered back.
"…Chives," Lan finished awkwardly then followed Chives into the dining hall.
Lan sat down and once again looked across the long table at the empty chair opposite him, "Hey Protoman, when's Chaud's father going to arrive?" Lan asked curiously to the navi.
"I don't know probably in a month or two," Protoman shrugged.
"What? Is he always gone that long?" Lan asked astonished.
"Of course not, he's usually much busier, this is only a short visit over seas," Protoman said nonchalantly.
A waiter came and put a plate of appetizers in front Lan but as he looked down at it he was suddenly dishearten and not very hungry.
The Next Morning
"'Chaud' it's time to wake up, Chaud, Chaud, LAN!" Protoman eventually yelled in an attempt to wake him up.
"What? Protoman it's Saturday I'm going back to bed," Lan replied then turned over in the bed.
"Yes but you have a lot of Official business to take care of, now get up and get dressed," Protoman informed him.
'This sucks,' Lan thought as he pulled a shirt over his head.
4 Hours Later
Chaud was busy eating breakfast as he heard a knock at the door. Mrs. Hikari was busy washing dishes and "Dr. Hikari" was at work so he figured he should get it. When he opened the door he saw Lan's friend Mayl standing on the porch. "Mayl what are you doing here?" he asked since it was still only ten in the morning.
"Don't try to get out of this Lan, you promised me a month ago that you'd take me to the carnival so your taking me to the carnival," Mayl said as she began pulling on his arm and dragging him out the door.
"Uh bye mom," Chaud yelled behind him.
"Where are you going Lan?" Lan's mother asked.
"The carnival apparently," Chaud shrugged.
"Have fun!" Mrs. Hikari yelled then Chaud began to voluntarily walk with Mayl.
Meanwhile at SciLab
Dr. Regal pressed a button on the computer in front of him and a disc came out and Regal placed it next to five others, 'Finally the last of the information is mine, I no longer have any need for SciLab,' Dr. Regal thought then placed a device on the bottom of the computer.
A Few Hours Later
Chaud and Mayl arrived at their street and headed for home. "That was a lot of fun Mayl," Chaud smiled.
"Yeah though I can't believe how many zepoles you ate, I'm glad you're back to your old self," Mayl smiled.
"Uh yeah," Chaud said a little embarrassed, 'Curse you zepoles, my delicious fried friends, my one true weakness,' Chaud thought.
"Well this is my stop," Mayl told him then stopped in front of Mayl's pink house, "I had a real great time, see you tomorrow." Mayl began to blush and before Chaud new what was happening she leaned in and quickly kissed him on the lips, Mayl embarrassedly backed up and ran into her house.
"Wow," was all Chaud was able to say as he watched on in aw.
OK finally done with this chapter and I'm pretty happy about that. Sorry it took so long, I had no time and now I have to take a two day break from writing so I can't start the next chapter in AA till Saturday so the next Chapter of Full Synchro won't be out for awhile but I promise I'll get it up sometime next week. Till then R&R.
