It was the most unusual day at MegaMan Jr. High yet. Nothing except classes had happened. Then Wily came in to speak to the school during physics with GravityMan.
Wily: Class, we have another new student. I want you to make her feel as welcome as the teachers will.
The new student walks in.
Student: I finished washing your car and doing your taxes.
Wily: Silence n00b! Anyway, her name is Ceil. Please welcome her, our first human student.
MegaMan can't take his eyes off her. She seems to be walking in slow motion.
GravityMan: Back to the topic, I hope you payed attention to our demonstration of slow motion.
He flips a switch and Ceil walks to her seat normally.
MegaMan: Wow... (to himself) Slow motion is incredible. (out loud) Ceil's beautiful!... D'oh!
Roll: Stop staring MegaMan!
GravityMan: Everyone, stare at the new student! That will teach her to transfer to this school!
Roll: sigh
At lunch (who knows where it's being held now) Ceil approaches the table where everyone is (most likely because it's the only table).
Ceil: Is it okay if I sit here?
Bass: No! We have very intricate social echelons here, it will take you months, maybe years to fit into our clique!
Ceil: But I have to, you're the only students in the whole school! What can I do to fit in faster?
Zero: Take over the school with a virus.
MegaMan: It's okay, you can sit here!
Roll: (glares at MegaMan)
Ceil: Our you sure?
MegaMan: Of course, I don't see any reason why not.
Roll: Didn't you hear Bass' speech or see my glaring?
MegaMan: I forgot. Don't worry, I'm very good at handling delicate social situations. Bass, I'm not trying to be nice, I'm merely attempting to undermine your status. Roll, you'll always hold a special place in my heart as my unatractive friend. Ceil, I'm attracted to you on a purely superficial level and am controlling and insensitive. There, now isn't everyone happy?
Zero: I am.
MegaMan: See? Problem solved!
Ceil sits down.
Ceil: I feel a little out of place with all these robots. If there was another human here I think we would become really close.
MegaMan: Hmm... if I pretend to be human, she'll go out with me! But is it right to lie? What would Dad say?...
Initiate flashback:
Light: MegaMan, always do what seems most convenient at the time, never consider the consequences or moral issues.
End flashback.
MegaMan: I'll do it!
Everyone is staring at him since he said everything, including the flashback, out loud.
MegaMan: Ceil... I'm human!
Act break.
Act 2:
Ceil: Really?
MegaMan: Yes. Unless the people I just insulted want to blow my cover or you remember what Wily said when he introduced you.
Ceil: This is great!
She moves closer to MegaMan. MegaMan's cheeks turn red.
MegaMan: NO! This is a serious condition! I need to go to the hospital, see you tommorrow!
The next day at school, during home room:
Intercom: Attention school, I would like to announce/
Wily: Shut up! Why did I make the intercom sentient? Ahem, school, I would like to announce a school event. Since we now have an even number of boys and girls in the school...
Zero: I'm not a girl, I just have long blonde hair!
Wily: How did I hear that? Anyway, I'm aware you're not a girl Zero, I just don't know how to count. Anyway, their will be a school dance this Monday night at 2:00AM. Participation is mandatory. And a reminder, mid terms are Tuesday morning, first thing! That is all, you may return to your normal class time.
The school is dismissed (classes are just used as opportunities to hear plot devices).
Roll comes up to MegaMan.
Roll: MegaMan, about the dance...
MegaMan: I know what you're going to ask, and the answer is yes!
Roll: Really?
MegaMan: Of course, it would be great if you helped me rehearse how to ask Ceil to the dance.
Roll:...
MegaMan: Okay, now try to think like Ceil. Now pretend you're pretty and smart and can imagine being asked out/
Roll: MegaMan!
MegaMan: Don't be upset, you have talents to. I wouldn't ask you to pretend those things if I didn't think you were a great actor/
Roll: YOU'RE AN IDIOT!
Roll storms off.
MegaMan: She's gotten so sensitive lately...
Zero comes up to MegaMan.
Zero: MegaMan, do you know the answer to number 4 on today's math homework?
MegaMan: WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING? I'M NOT A NERD! I HATE YOU!
MegaMan storms off. Later he prepares to call Ceil.
MegaMan: There's no reason to be nervous. The worst that can happen is she's so repulsed she sends a giant dragon robot after me. And what are the odds of a third girl doing that to me?
He picks up the phone and dials four digits (there are about 5 houses in the city, they don't need seven). Ceil answers, probably because most characters on the show don't have parents.
Ceil: Hello?
MegaMan: H, h, hello? Th, this is, is...
He puts the phone down.
MegaMan: Why did I activate my stuttering chip for this?
He gets back on.
MegaMan: Hi, this is MegaMan. I was going to see if you wanted to go to the school dance with me?
Ceil: Of course I do! I just have to check if it's okay with... oh right, I don't have parents. I'll see you there!
So on the night/morning of the dance MegaMan and Ceil meet outside the school.
MegaMan: This will be great, nothing can ruin it!
Wily is infront of the school.
Wily: As you all know, I go to great lengths to keep my school safe.
Zero: You can't be serious.
Wily: Which is why before going into the dance you must pass through a metal detector. And purpose defeating though it may be, the detector can only be set off by robots.
MegaMan: Stuff like this always happens at the act break.
Act break.
Act 3:
MegaMan: I need to think of something fast!
Wily: The detector's broken! Fine, just come in.
MegaMan: I'm a genious!
So they go into the dance. Zero is their with Iris, a used once then never mentioned again character. Roll went with Bass to make MegaMan jealous. ProtoMan is there by himself, wondering why no one ever pays attention to him.
MegaMan: After that problem at the door, this dance should go smoothly.
Wily: To break the ice all couples will participate in a party game that determines whether your partner is a robot.
MegaMan: Why does KI hate me?
Ceil is reading questions off a card.
Ceil: Would you rather eat an N-Gage or a taco?
MegaMan: An N-Gage.
Ceil: That's the human answer. Good job! Next question: For 500 exp and a Boss Emblem piece what Final Fantasy marked the first appearance of Cid?
MegaMan: I think KI is getting his topics mixed up...
After more questions about topics KI was posting in Ceil adds up MegaMan's score.
Ceil: According to the test results you are... going to live to be 73.
MegaMan: Good thing Wily got a cheap robot testing game.
So the dance continues. After doing dances like The Robot, The Metal Twist, and the Electric Boogaloo the DJ is arrested and sentenced to life in prison for his cringe inducing choices. MegaMan is having a great time.
Roll: This isn't working, MegaMan isn't jealous at all!
Bass: This isn't working, I don't feel like I've upstaged MegaMan at all!
Zero: This isn't working, good thing the warranty on my sword is still good.
MegaMan and Ceil leave the dance and go for a walk. MegaMan is feeling guilty about deceiving her.
MegaMan: I don't want to see her get hurt, I should tell her that there's no one like her at our school and that she just wasted her time at the school dance, that will make her feel better.
He's about to say something, but Ceil talks first.
Ceil: MegaMan, I have something I need to tell you. I had a really great time tonight, but I've been hiding something.
MegaMan: I've been hiding something too. You see, I'm really a... robot. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for deceiving you.
Ceil: You... are? That's... wonderful! You see, I'm a robot too!
MegaMan: YOU LIED TO ME? That's horrible! You should be ashamed of yourself, lying like that! I never want to see you again!
Ceil: But... but...
MegaMan: Goodbye forever!
MegaMan goes back to the dance and talks to Roll.
MegaMan: Roll, I'm so sorry. I was unfair to you, and I never should have been so selfish. I'm not perfect either, I should have been understanding.
Roll: It's okay. Atleast we're together now, and we both learned an important lesson about being kind and not using others. (she turns to Bass) I don't need you anymore, get lost!
Bass: I hate all of you! (he goes to comfort Ceil)
And so MegaMan and Roll finally become something more. Not that I'll make any meaningful references to it or anything. Stay tuned for the next MegaMan Jr. High!
