Netto finally managed to fall asleep about 1:30 but it still took its toll. "Wake up," Rockman said from his PET.

Netto groaned and turned over in his bed pulling the pillow over his head so he couldn't hear anything. Rockman crossed his arms and shook his head. /You really think that's going to accomplish anything/ Rockman asked him mentally.

Netto glared into the bed sheets. /No, but you could have pretended it would/ Netto muttered back.

/Netto, you promised you would meet Enzan today, remember/ Rockman said.

Netto shot up in bed. "I forgot," he said.

"Not surprising," Rockman said. "Oh, by the way, it's 10:30 so I'd get a move on if I were you."

"Ah!" Netto said and practically fell out of bed in his hurry to get out of it. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" he cried as he ran out of the room.

"I did," Rockman said. "You turned over and fell back asleep."

"Well, try harder!" Netto said.

Rockman sighed. "Netto-kun, I'm not your babysitter," he pointed out.

Netto came into the room brushing his teeth. "No but you're my navi and older brother," he said in a muffled voice.

Rockman shrugged. "Netto-kun, I'm not responsible for you."

Netto gave his navi a death glare and stalked out of the room laving Rockman to have a small laugh at his expense.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Netto managed to get dressed and ready to leave in ten minutes. He grabbed Rockman's PET and ran out of his house at breakneck speed. "Netto-kun, Enzan isn't going anywhere," Rockman reminded him.

Netto slowed down as he got to his car. "I knew that," he said sheepishly as he unlocked the door.

Rockman gave a knowing smile that Netto couldn't see. "Right," Rockman said.

Netto sighed and put the PET into the slot for car navigation. "Rockman, can you send an E-mail to Enzan telling him that we might be a little late."

"I already did," Rockman said.

Netto smiled, "Of course you did," he said while starting the car.

Rockman booted up the navigation systems of the car. "Hey, I'm still a navi, besides I didn't want it to seem like we just forgot him even though I have the feeling that he would wait there all day for you."

Netto frowned as he backed out of the driveway. "What makes you say that?" he asked.

"Just call it close observation," Rockman said.

"Close observation of what?" Netto asked.

"Nothing, Netto-kun," Rockman said amazed at how thick Netto could still be.

"What?" Netto asked.

Rockman shook his head, "Nothing, nothing," he said. "Keep your eyes on the road," Rockman said when Netto gave his a confused look.

Netto snapped his gaze back to the road in front of him. "Are you keeping something from me, nii-san?" Netto asked.

"Of course not," Rockman said angelically.

OOOOOOOOOOO

They pulled into the Seaside Café at 11:15 which wasn't bad considering when Netto woke up. He went into the café and was hailed by Enzan who already got a table. "Should we just get lunch?" Enzan asked.

"Sorry," Netto muttered while trying to cover a blush.

Enzan waved a hand to dismiss it, "Don't worry, I expected it." He ignored the glare that Netto gave him by looking at the menu.

"He had breakfast, didn't he?" Rockman quietly asked Blues.

"Yes," Blues replied.

Rockman smiled. "Well, at least we made it. You okay?" he asked Blues.

Blues looked at Rockman's sharply, "I'm fine. Why?"

"You seem a little tight," Rockman said.

Blues smiled to try and put Rockman at ease. "Oh, I was just thinking about," he paused, "Things."

Rockman nodded. "I understand," he said.

"So, what are you getting?" Netto asked.

"I don't know," Enzan admitted. "There's a lot of fish."

"It is a seaside café," Netto said.

"Thank you for pointing that out," Enzan said dryly.

"You're welcome!" Netto said brightly.

Enzan rolled his eyes and glanced at the menu again. "What are you getting?" he asked.

"Clam chowder," Netto and Rockman said simultaneously.

Enzan blinked, "What, no seafood curry?"

Netto shook his head, "Of course not. I go to Maha Ichiban for curry. I come here for chowder; Masa-san makes really good chowder."

"Hmmm," Enzan said. "I've never been here before, is it good?"

"I just said it was," Netto replied.

"I'll get chowder too then," Enzan said putting down the menu.

Just then a man in his mid fifties came to the table. He was dressed in a simple blue outfit with a large apron with a big fish on it. "So, what will it be?" he asked in a loud voice.

"Two clam chowders please, Masa-san!" Netto said happily.

Masa eyed them. "Good, your friend looks like he could use some calcium."

Netto tried not to go into a laughing fit while Enzan blinked uncertain of what to say. "Masa-san, that's Enzan. You've met him before."

Masa peered at Enzan, "Oh! Yes, I remember you. Glad to see you here!" he said and walked away.

"Masa-san's eyesight isn't what it used to be," Netto said before Enzan could ask. "But he refuses to admit it so…" There was a loud crash behind them as Masa ran into the counter.

Enzan rubbed his forehead. "Why won't he get glasses?"

"He says calcium will fix his eyesight," Netto said. "The only one who can even get him to wear sunglasses is Miyuki."

Enzan rolled his eyes. "Why is he still working here then?"

"He owns this place," Netto said.

Enzan blinked, "He does?"

Netto nodded. "Yeup, he's owned it for about ten years.

"I… didn't know that," Enzan said.

Netto nodded. "Saloma-san and Miyuki-san re-opened their shops about five years ago. They come in here to check on Masa-san often. I think Miyuki has almost broken him down into getting glasses. He just found out he can't fish if he doesn't have a boating license and he can't pass the test with his eyesight."

Enzan nodded. "That makes sense."

A girl came out and gave them the bowls. "Here you are," she smiled and went back behind the counter.

"Smells good," Enzan said.

Netto nodded happily, "I know." He took a large bit and chewed on it thoughtfully. "What do you want to do after this?" he asked.

Enzan was still blowing on his soup. "I don't know. I thought you said you wanted to go on the board walk."

Netto nodded, "Yes, but where on the board walk? They're a lot of places to go to."

Enzan took a bite of the creamy soup, it did taste very good. "I've never been on the boardwalk here, know any places?"

Netto shook his head. "It's amazing, you've been here how many times and yet you've never been on the boardwalk."

Enzan blushed, "I'm a busy man, Netto."

"I know," Netto said. "How about we just walk on it and see what's out there," he said.

Enzan nodded, "That sounds good."

"Maybe we'll meet some people," Netto smiled.

"Are you planning something?" Enzan asked, suddenly very cautious.

"No," Netto said. He glanced at Enzan who was giving him a 'really?' look. Netto sighed, "Look, today is Saturday so Meiru, Tohru, Shuuko and Tohru are probably off work. Maybe even Dingo is here. That's all," Netto said.

Enzan nodded, "That sounds," he paused. "Fun," he finally said.

"Good," Netto smiled and they finished off their lunch.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Masa is back :3 So is everyone else. Ahhh, this is going to be so much fun to write XP
