Summary: What happens when you give Axl ice cream… Everyday… For a month? Nothing good could come of it!

THIS FANFIC IS SILLY!

ONWARD!

Zero sat on the couch in his room, book in hand, eyes on the page and golden hair cascading around him because he was too lazy to pull it back. His green eyes darted across from line to line quickly, taking in every detail of the story.

X pressed the button that slid the automatic door open to his best friend's room. Zero looked up and his icy green eyes locked on a pair of deep blue ones.

"Hey… What's up?" he asked in a bored voice. X looked around and shrugged.

"Nothing. Shouldn't you clean this place up a bit?" he said as he eyed the one tee shirt that was lying on the floor next to the solitary ribbon from Zero's hair. The blond reploid raised a finely arched eyebrow.

"Just because I don't alphabetized my socks doesn't mean that my room is a mess," he stated in a flat tone as he stood from the couch that was his bed. X shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"Whatever."

"X, what are you doing here? You ever come into my room."

"Have you seen Axl? No one's seen him for several hours. Not even in the shooting range," X said quickly, a hint of worry in his voice. Zero shrugged.

"Nope. The kid's not my problem. He's probably off exploring HQ. He loves it here, you know that," he pointed out. X had to admit that he had a point there. Ever since Axl had joined the Maverick Hunters he had been exploring every nook and cranny of Headquarters, often getting himself lost.

"Do you know where he might be?" X asked earnestly. Zero shook his head casually.

"Nope."

"Zero! You're not helping much!" X whined.

Zero sighed impatiently. He wanted to get back to his book. Finally he gave in.

"Fine. I'll go look for the little brat!" he snarled slightly. X thanked him and left the room, leaving Zero only to his promise.

After a moment the reploid walked out of his room and started down the hallway, asking random reploids if they'd seen the red-haired kid. No one had.

"Damn kid… where could he be?" Zero snarled to himself as he shoved his hands in his pockets. He waited for some mechanic reploids to pass at a hallway intersection before entering one of the rec lobbies that were scattered randomly about Headquarters.

The place was empty, or so Zero thought at first. No sound came from the radio and the TV was off. Only one light was on in the room, and it was in the back, over the card table. The blond reploid turned on another light on his way to the back, illuminating the rest of the room.

"Zero!" a voice gasped in surprise.

"Axl?"

"Uh, yeah," the red-haired reploid breathed as he set a stack of papers on the card table. "What are you doing here?" he asked slowly. Zero crossed his arms, slight annoyance playing across is face.

"Looking for you."

"Why?"

Stupid kid with stupid questions…

"Because X is a worry-wart and you didn't tell anyone where you went. Now, what are you doing in here? What are all those papers for?"

"Oh, nothing really. Just my reports for the week. Hey Zero…" he mumbled, trailing off slightly.

"Hmm?"

"You wanna play of game of cards? Loser does what the winner chooses?" Axl said. Zero thought about it for a minute. He'd never lost at a game of cards to anyone, not even Spider.

"Sure. What game?"

Axl tapped his chin as the older reploid cleared aside the papers and grabbed a deck. The pair sat down before he answered.

"Poker?"

"Alright, but get ready to lose!" Zero said as he shuffled the deck with quick hands. Axl snickered but didn't say anything.

Soon the game had started, and Zero had to say, he was impressed. Axl was better than he thought.

"There!" the blondie said. "Full house."

"Oo, nice play. But I must regretfully say that you lose Zero," the red-head breathed.

"How do you figure?"

"Royal flush!"

Zero's jaw just about hit the floor. How had the kid beaten him? Again! That was five times in a row!

"I win!" Axl said happily as he set his cards down. Zero was still staring at the winning hand and comparing it to his losing one.

"How…did you manage that?" he stammered. Axl just grinned and interlaced his fingers behind his head.

"A couple of the guys at Red Alert taught me how to play. And I have really good luck I guess," he laughed. "So you have to do whatever I want now!"

Zero grumbled. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like this.

"Fine. What do you want?" he snarled in a dangerous tone, just daring the boy to make him do something that would ruin his reputation.

Axl hummed in thought for a moment.

"I want… you to… buy me ice cream everyday for a month!" he said finally. Zero stared at him, green eyes narrowed. That was it? No 'dress up like a girl'? or 'Let X braid your hair'? This wasn't right.

"Al…right… That's what you want? Just ice cream?" Zero asked. He had to make sure there weren't any catches.

"Every day, for thirty days," Axl corrected him. Zero didn't believe it.

"That's all you want? Nothing else?"

"Well, if you're willing to do more…" Axl started.

"No, no, that's fine. I'm good," Zero said hastily. Axl smiled.

"Alright. I want my first ice cream tomorrow. You can pick where you buy it," he said as he stood and gathered his papers. Zero nodded and watched the boy head out of the room.

"Hey! Axl!"

"Hmm?"

"Don't forget to find X and tell him that I found you," Zero said loud enough for the boy to hear. Axl nodded and said he would before leaving quickly.

The next day Axl and Zero sat outside Zinger's, a local ice cream parlor, each licking a cone and sitting side by side. Zero had decided that he would get one too and take advantage of the two-for-one deal. Plus Zinger's had the best ice cream, even if it was a little more expensive.

Axl was bobbing side to side slightly as he finished his cone. Zero was only half done.

"Wow! That was great Zero! Thanks!" he said in a fast tone. Zero nodded at the statement.

"You wanted ice cream, you got it," he answered between licks. Axl giggled and rocked back and forth on the bench. "Whoa, settle down kid! It's like you've never had ice cream before!" Zero chuckled. Axl giggled again.

"Actually, I haven't had it in forever. They never let me have it at Red Alert because they said I got too hyper and giddy," he said as he watched a bird fly over head. Zero froze. Uh oh…
