Netto got up from the couch jerking Enzan out of his nap. He quickly walked over to the front door and opened it. "Mejin-san!" he exclaimed, much like his navi.

Mejin gave a small sigh, "The formality really isn't needed."

"What do you want?" Netto asked.

"We just came here for a chat," Mejin said easily.

"Right…" Netto said skeptically.

Mejin sighed, "I tell you when we're inside."

Netto shrugged and let them in. Enzan raised an eyebrow and Netto shrugged. "I didn't realize Enzan was here," Mejin said.

"Movie night," Netto replied.

"Well that's good, keeps me from having to go to three places."

"Three?" Netto and Enzan asked together.

"Yes, I've already contacted Laika," Mejin said. Netto opened his mouth but Mejin held up his hands. "Let me explain before you say anything. First off," Mejin motioned to the silent man behind him, "This is Commander Ishiyama, the founder and leader of the Net Vigilantes."

Netto sat down on his couch next to Enzan and Mejin sat in the recliner across from them, Commander Ishiyama continued to stand, "What does this have to do with us?" Netto asked.

"Well, you see," Mejin said softly, trying to choose his words carefully.

"Remember Fujiko Yamato?" Ishiyama asked suddenly.

Netto raised an eyebrow, "The crazy Net Mafia lady we brought down in college? Yeah, I remember her, didn't she die when her base blew up?"

Mejin shook his head.

Enzan blinked, "What, she's alive?"

Mejin nodded.

"And what do you want us to do about it?" Netto asked with his arms crossed.

Mejin stroked his graying hair, "Well, we were kind of hoping you could help the Net Vigilantes on the mission against her."

Netto shook his head, "Sorry Mejin-ojiisan, I have a job."

Mejin took no notice to Netto's quip. "That didn't stop Enzan did it?"

Netto looked annoyed. "He stopped eventually," Netto muttered.

Enzan nodded, "He's right, it's too much."

"We're not asking you to be full time," Mejin said, "Just, reference help. Laika's already agreed to do it. Come on, you boys know most about her."

/Well/ Rockman asked.

/Sounds like fun…/ Netto admitted.

Enzan could really tell Netto wanted to accept but in a rare sign of maturity he was having issues with the fact he had a full time job. Enzan sighed, "Netto if you'll do it, I'll do it," he said.

Mejin raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Netto looked at Enzan then Mejin, then he gave a big grin and nodded, "Sounds like fun!" he said cheerfully.

Mejin smiled, "Well then, thank you, and don't worry, we most likely won't need your help for awhile yet."

Netto grinned, "That's a relief."

Mejin walked to the door and Ishiyama followed. Mejin gave one last thought, "Oh, Netto, no need for the 'ojiisan' either."

Netto smirked as they left his house. "This is getting interesting," he admitted.

Enzan sighed and sat back down on the couch. "Do you really want to do this?" Netto asked him.

"As long as we keep our promises to make sure one another is finishing their projects on time and making sure the other isn't working to hard, I don't see why we shouldn't have the free time," Enzan replied.

Netto nodded, "Right."

Enzan yawned slightly and stood up again. "Well, we both have work tomorrow and I'm sure you're getting a new project. So, I'll be heading home. Bye Netto."

"Bye Enzan," Netto said and watched as Enzan left his house.

Netto closed his door and started the security system back up. He turned around and stretched then walked into his bedroom and collapsed on the bed. "Well, back to work tomorrow," he sighed.

Rockman laughed, "Oh well."

Netto nodded and was asleep fairly quickly.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Netto-kun," Rockman said loudly the next morning.

Netto turned over in his bed and pulled the pillow over his ears. "Go away," he muttered.

"Netto-kun," Rockman said again with a little more annoyance in his voice.

Netto pulled the pillow tighter around his head and didn't reply.

Rockman sighed; "Ne…" then the phone rang.

There was a sound even Netto couldn't ignore. He groaned and sleepily reached for the annoying device. "Hullo?" he asked sleepily.

"I trust you aren't giving your navi a hard time," Enzan's cool voice came from the other end waking Netto up as effectively as a cold shower.

"Enzan!" Netto yelled and sat up in bed. "Uh… no," he said slowly.

Rockman, who was listening to the line through his PET yelled, "Liar!"

"Rockman, shut up," Netto grumped at his navi.

Enzan sighed, "Well, get up. You know you should be up at this time anyway."

Netto was already walking around his room looking for his clothes, "Yeah, yeah," he muttered.

"Well, since your up, I'll leave you to get ready, bye," Enzan said and hung up.

"Bye…" Netto said to the dial tone. He sighed and hung up the phone and threw it on the bed, "He's just as crabby as me in the mornings," he said to his navi.

Rockman giggled, "He's just trying to make sure you get out of the house on time."

Netto made a face and pulled his lab coat off the hanger in his closet, "Yeah, yeah," he said again and he walked over to the computer and grabbed his PET. "Come on; time to go see what wonderful new project I get to do today."

Rockman smiled but didn't reply to the obviously sarcastic comment.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Netto walked into the Sci Labs building yawning and looking a little crabby. "Hey Netto, on time for once?" a voice said behind him.

Netto spun around to see Meiru run up to catch up with him. He gave his friend a genuine smile, "Yeah, Enzan called me this morning and get me out of bed."

Meiru giggled, "Well, that's good. There is someone who can make you be on time aside from Rockman that is."

Netto shrugged and they walked down the hall together. "What are you doing here?" Netto asked.

Meiru held up a manila envelope, "I'm here to get a program for my business."

"How is your business doing anyway?" Netto asked.

Meiru smiled happily, "It's doing great. I knew getting into the 'Dress up chip' business was a good idea."

"Well, if anyone could pull it off," Netto smiled. "How's Yaito?"

"She's doing great. I still can't believe she's actually working with me. I never expected her to be that kind of person."

"Well, she always did like designing clothes," Netto shrugged. "Maybe she doesn't see it as work."

"Probably," Meiru admitted. "Well, I need to take this back to my office and set it up," she said looking at the envelope, "See ya Netto!"

"Bye!" Netto waved and walked down the hallway to his father's lab.

"Who knew Meiru would end up such a good business woman," Rockman mused.

Netto smiled, "I believe it. She always had that kind of…" he paused, "spark."

Rockman laughed but didn't say anything else. Netto walked into his father's lab and waved him. "Morning papa," he said cheerfully.

"Netto, you're on time," Yuuichiro replied with the faintest hint of surprise in his voice.

Netto sighed, "Yeah, I'm on time."

Yuuichiro smiled, "Have a new project yet?"

Netto shook his head, "I thought I'd say hi before I went to go get it," he said.

Yuuichiro nodded, "Well I'm doing fine. And your mother wants to know if you'd like to stop by for dinner this week."

Netto shrugged, "Sure. What day?"

"Thursday, she said. I thought I was going to have to hunt you down but it seems you decided to fine me first," Yuuichiro smiled at his son.

Netto ran his fingers through his hair, "Yeah well… I've been busy."

"So I've heard," Yuuichiro said dryly.

Netto laughed sheepishly, "Well I better go get my project, see you on Thursday papa."

Yuuichiro nodded, "See you," he said and waved.

Netto left the office and sighed, "Papa always finds out."

"He is your father; it's kind of his job."

"He's your dad too," Netto shot back.

"But I don't do things that make him have to check up on me," Rockman replied.

Netto crossed his arms and continued to walk down the hall to where his next project was waiting. He went inside and waved at the woman sitting behind the desk, "Morning Nanako-san," he said cheerfully.

The woman pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and handed Netto a disk. "Morning, Hikari-kun, glad to see you could make it on time."

Netto shot her a small glare but didn't retaliate.

"Here is your new project, I pray you won't procrastinate this time?" she asked.

Netto sighed and slipped the disk into his pocket. "No, Nanako-san."

"Good, this one is due in two weeks, more then enough time if you pace yourself."

Netto turned around and started to walk out of her office.

"Did you hear what I said Hikari-kun?" she asked.

Netto waved carelessly with his back still turned, "I heard, see you in two weeks, Nanako-san." He walked out of the office and the doors slid shut behind his retreating form.

"That man…" Nanako hissed.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

New chappie, Enjoy :3
