(Sigh) Apparently writer's block has decided to settle in for a while. I'm hoping that this will take help with it for a little bit. I'm only planning to make two chapters for this story by the way.

For those who don't know, the song Jounetsu Setsuna is the Japanese opening song to Megaman X: Command Mission, which is a pretty good song.

Chapter 1: The Letter

"So…do you think we're ready?"

"I think so. We've gone over this plan for nearly two weeks, and I think we got this down pretty well."

"That's good, although, I'm still a little worried."

"We'll be fine. Right now, the only thing I'm worried about is X coming or not."

"Well, do you think he'll come?"

"I hope so."

Zero leaned back on the chair as he propped his feet up on the table. It was another typical day around HQ, and for a reploid like himself, it meant another boring day with nothing to do. It's not that the crimson warrior liked war, but he preferred the fast-paced action instead of a slow moving day with little to do. He yawned as his mind slowly zoned out from the boredom and closed his eyes. Yup, it was going to be another one of those days.

"Hey Zero."

The hunter's eyes shot open and quickly changed his position. His feet swiftly returned to the floor and turned to face the speaker, who, to his relief, was just his partner, X. The elite hunter sighed and brought his feet back to the table. "Hey X, what's up?" Zero asked as he closed his eyes.

"I got a message from Alia." Zero took a peek from the corner of his eye and saw the pearl white envelope in X's hands.

"Snail mail?" He mused.

X ignored him and quickly tore open the envelope. He pulled out the folded sheet of paper and read the contents of the letter.

'Dear X,

How's it going back at HQ? Everything alright? I'm having fun here at Giga City and I've bumped into a lot of your old friends, including Nana. It seems that she and I have gotten the closest since I was here and we've gone out shopping together when we found the time. I missed everyone back at HQ while I was here, and I'm excited to come back, although I'm a little sad to leave so soon. Nana and everyone have missed you guys as well and they're hoping to see you come back someday for a visit, but I guess that'll have to wait for some other time. Giga City certainly has changed a lot since the last you came, so you should check it out sometime.

Until then, I hope to see you soon!

Sincerely

Alia'

X smiled upon finishing the letter. It was good to hear from Alia after about a month since she left for Giga City, on vacation of course. The blue bomber suggested the idea that time, and although she denied it numerous times, X was finally able to persuade her for some downtime, and as fate would have it, she decided to check out Giga City. He was happy for her to be enjoying her vacation, but at the same time, he felt a little lonely. The blue bomber sighed and sat in the chair opposite of Zero, the letter still clutched in his hand.

"So, Alia send you a love letter?" Zero asked jokingly.

"No, she was just saying hi." X replied, unknowingly getting a small redness in his cheeks.

"Heh, sure." The red reploid replied as he pulled his feet off and sat upright. "So how's she doing in Giga City?"

"She's alright." X replied as he pushed the letter toward Zero, who began reading it once it reached him. "Seems like she was staying with Nana since she was there, and I guess they became good friends."

The crimson warrior however was silent as he continued reading. When X realized he wasn't making a reply, he noticed that Zero wasn't actually reading the letter. The writing was facing the blue bomber instead of a blank page. "Hey Zero, you're reading the wrong…"

"Well X, planning to go?" Zero asked with some amusement.

"Huh?" The blue bomber asked quizzically.

Zero cleared his throat then took a deep breath. "'P.S: Everyone says 'Hi', and Nana says she misses you. Also, there is a gift that Nana and I would like to give you, but I'm afraid I can't bring it back to the HQ with me. Please come to the Jounetsu around midnight tomorrow, Nana and I will be waiting at desk #17. Please don't be late.'" Zero smiled deviously toward his friend. "So X, planning to get something on with Nana and Alia tonight?"

"W…What?" X shouted, a redness slowly growing on his cheeks.

"Certainly sounds like the two want to give ya something good you know." He passed the letter back to his friend, who was trying his best to suppress a growing blush to no avail.

"Uh…Well…" X stuttered. "I…I'm sure they have a r…reasonable gift for me." X was trying his best to keep his thoughts straight and not stray to…other thoughts, but he could tell from Zero's face that he was having a hard time. "Besides…what is the 'Jounetsu'? I don't think I've been there anyway."

Zero smiled. "X, it's that new bar at Giga City. Remember the entire gang went there after we won and all?"

X was silent as he gathered his thoughts. "That was the place where Axl…"

Zero nodded his head.

"And Cinnamon…"

"Yup."

"And we had to…"

"Yeah X, that's the place." The maverick hunter was once again silenced. It wasn't the incident between Axl and Cinnamon that bothered him, which resulted in a large amount of damages paid, that was bothering him, it was more of the 'what is the gift' question. "So X, you gonna go or what?" Zero asked.

"Well…" X stuttered, even though he already knew his answer. "I…I guess. If it can't wait then I guess I'll go check out what's the gift."

Zero smiled. "Ha ha, great. Guess I'll see you next morning eh?" He winked at his friend which just caused him to blush.

"Zero! I'm sure they're not planning THAT!" X retorted as he rushed out of the room, unwilling to face his partner and friend after the remark.

Hmm, so what is going on? Gotta wait for the second chapter to find out.

Please review! And thank you for reading!
