Netto and Enzan walked into Maha Ichiban with their PET's in hand. They were greeted by Dekao who was at that point one of the main Chefs of the Maha Curry chain.

"Greetings, may I suggest our seafood special," he started then saw who it was that walked in. "Netto!" he said in a happy voice. "And Enzan too," he quirked an eyebrow. "This is a surprise."

"Got him to take off work," Netto laughed.

Dekao laughed, "Wow, what did you do?"

"He stayed up all night to finish writing a program when I specifically told him not to," Enzan muttered.

Madoi came up behind them. "Ah! So, you got angry and the brat here and now you two have kissed and made up and came for curry in celebration!" she said happily.

"No!" Enzan and Netto said quickly.

Madoi laughed, "It's a figure of speech you two. Come on, it's been awhile since we've seen you Netto, lunch is on the house if you'll tell us what's been going on in the science world lately."

Netto eyed the curry Dekao was stewing hungrily. "Deal," he said.

Dekao laughed and poured some out onto two dishes of rice.

Netto took it hungrily and started to chow down. Rockman and Blues wandered into the Cyber version of Maha Ichiban to see Gutsman behind the counter. Ever since the dress up chips were invented, the navi persona based off of humans had only gotten stronger. Now there were food chips that allowed navi's to taste to some extent. The system was far from perfect but it was still there.

"Do you wish to have anything, de-gutsu," Gutsman asked.

Rockman and Blues shook their heads and sat down. They were soon joined by the WWW navi's and they listened in on the conversation in the real world.

"So, what was the program?" Hino-ken asked.

Netto shoved another spoonful of curry into his mouth before he answered. "Well, it was a computer program that is going to eventually help run the new telescope at the Sci-Labs Observatory," he said. "It supposedly is so strong it can see things about 300,000 more light years away then the strongest current telescope."

"That's sounds pretty neat," Dekao said giving Netto another plate.

Netto took it and began eating. "It sounds neat, it was a pain in the ass to write, right Rockman?"

Rockman nodded. "Yeah it was. First of all the language had to be universal just in case any other labs wanted the program."

Enzan winced, he didn't realize what Netto was writing. "Binary?" he asked.

Netto nodded, "Oh yeah. It was evil."

"And you finished it in a week," Enzan muttered. "How do you do it?"

Rockman smiled, "I could answer that, but you'd kill both of us."

Enzan blinked, "You didn't," he said.

"Rockman, shut up," Netto said.

"Sorry," Rockman said nervously.

"Did what?" Madoi asked.

"Nothing," Netto, Enzan and Rockman all said at the same time.

Madoi raised an eyebrow but did say anything.

"One week?" Elec asked. "How did you finish it in one week?"

"Hard work?" Netto said laughing and ate some more curry.

Before Enzan could say anything Hino-ken laughed. "So, you waited till the last minute again."

Netto smiled sheepishly. "Guilty as charged."

Mahajorama smiled. "You'd be in trouble if the world knew that the scientist that designed half of the programs that run most of today's appliances liked to procrastinate as much as you do."

Netto rolled his eyes and finished off his second plate of curry. "I get enough from Meiru, Jasmine, Laika and Enzan thank you very much."

"How is Jasmine anyway?" Dekao asked in what he hoped was an offhand voice.

Netto smiled. "She's fine. She just opened her own herbal medicine shop in Choina. She sent us a picture of it last week."

"O-oh, can I see?" Dekao asked.

"I'll e-mail it to you when I get home," Netto said.

"Speaking of which, we should probably go home," Enzan said and set his spoon down on a half eaten curry plate.

"Awww, I'm fine," Netto said flashing a broad grin.

"Need I remind you just how late you stayed up last night?" Enzan asked.

"Night?" Rockman asked.

"You're not helping," Netto said.

Madoi laughed, "Ah, so it was crunch time eh?"

Netto rolled his eyes and shook his head. "No! I have two days left before the dead line," he said.

"So," Hino-ken reiterated. "It was crunch time."

Rockman laughed, "Pretty much."

Elecman laughed, "Well, at least it was finished."

"Exactly! See!" Netto said. "That's right Elecman, thank you."

"So, it doesn't make it right about the fact that you were up until 6:30 AM finishing a program," Enzan said.

"Not true," Netto said. "I was only up till 5:30."

Enzan rolled his eyes and Madoi laughed. "That's the spirit."

"Please," Rockman said. "Don't encourage him."

"I second that," Enzan said dryly.

Madoi chuckled and stood up. "Well, I guess we should get back to work. Nice to see you two again."

Netto stood up and picked up his PET. "Nice seeing you again too. We'll be back soon," he called as he walked out of the restaurant.

"I don't doubt it," Mahajorama smiled.

"Where to now?" Netto asked.

"Home?" Enzan said. "To sleep?"

"Hey, you were the one that woke me up, remember?" Netto said.

"Uhhh, no. I waited till you got up on your own. You woke up," Enzan said,

"Whatever," Netto muttered.

Enzan sighed, "I know you're still tired. You should try and get decent night's sleep."

"It's still day," Netto pointed out.

Enzan rolled his eyes. "Fine, we'll stop and get some ice cream. Then you'll go home and go to bed."

"Deal," Netto said happily.

They went to the ice cream stand and got two large chocolate milkshakes. They drank their cool treats in silence until Enzan decided to speak up.

"Netto?"

"Mmm?" Netto looked at Enzan with the straw still in his mouth making him look very cute and causing Enzan to look away blushing.

"Did you really do 'that' to finish the project?" he asked.

Netto sighed, "Only a little. And Rockman helped a lot too. Don't worry; I know what I'm doing."

Enzan sighed, "I know. But you know that is kinda of dangerous."

"No it's not," Netto said.

"He's right, it's not," said Rockman. "It's part of him, Enzan. Part of us. Don't worry, I'd never let Netto intentionally hurt himself."

Enzan smiled and took another sip of the creamy drink. "You two still worry me though."

Netto finished his off with a loud slurp and sucking noise that was very annoying. "Well, we never asked you to worry."

Blues chuckled silently as Enzan steamed. "You never… now listen here!" he started before he realized Netto's was walking away looking for a trashcan.

Enzan caught up with him but before he could say anything Netto spoke. "Oh relax will you? I've got two days off now so I can relax all I want."

Enzan sighed. "You better not do this again."

"I can't," Netto grinned. "We made a bet, remember?"

Enzan smiled back. "I remember. Now we should get home. You promise to go to bed?"

"I promise!" Netto said.

Enzan gripped Netto's arm. "Do you really?" he asked again.

Netto pulled himself from Enzan grip. "Yes really, that's part of the bet remember? Now I have some catching up on sleep to do. See you tomorrow Enzan!" Netto waved and walked down the street.

Enzan sighed, if only it was as easy as a bet.
