After being thoroughly annoyed and ever so slightly angry, Netto, Laika and Enzan made it out of the field work they were given.

"Okay, that was kinda hard," Netto sighed once they got back to his apartment.

Rockman laughed, "We're not used to it," he pointed out. "That isn't out lifestyle any more."

Enzan nodded, "He's right you know. We don't live like that, we all have our own lives now."

"Thank god," Netto yawned. "I was beginning to remember why I decided to quit."

Enzan and Laika nodded. "It's not like we would be Net Saviors forever," Laika pointed out. "We all had different ambitions."

Netto laughed, "It took me until my 4th year of grad school to figure that out though."

Enzan shrugged, "There's nothing wrong with that," he said. "You can't be a programmer and a full time net savior. Not even Mejin-san has figured out to do that."

Netto laughed loudly, "Once Mejin-san does though we're all in trouble."

Rockman giggled, "Oh Netto-kun, you don't give him enough credit."

"Sure I do!" Netto said. "But he's not getting any younger, and he's still running around on the field." He thought for a second, "And crashing cars," he added.

This comment drew a laugh from Enzan and Laika. "Netto-san has a point," Blues said. "We've all changed."

Netto nodded, "But that's not necessarily a bad thing," he pointed out.

Laika nodded, "Dare I say it, even you have matured over the years, Netto," he chided.

Netto threw a pillow at Laika and Rockman snorted, "Then again maybe not," he teased.

Netto pretended to look sulky as he threw himself into his couch, "Yeah, I love you too," he muttered.

Laika smiled, "It had to happen at some point," he said. "Netto seriously though, I never thought you were going to leave the Net Saviors."

"Mom made me," Netto admitted.

"She did?" Laika asked.

Enzan nodded, "I knew that," he replied. "You stopped about a year before he did and you were in Sharro the whole time."

Netto nodded, "Yeah, I was constantly tired and after awhile I just didn't have the energy to do anything. Even worse, I began to loose control of my half of the link."

"What?" Laika asked.

"I never told you this?" Netto asked innocently.

"No!" Laika snapped.

Netto waved a hand carelessly, "Well, I didn't want to worry you. Anyways, when I began to loose control of my part of the link was when mom told me enough and pretty much asked me to quit the Net Saviors. Balancing college, that and getting into the programmer school I was aiming for was too much. After talking about it with Rockman we agreed to quit after the summer was over."

"I never knew that," Laika muttered. "Why didn't you tell me this?"

"I told you," Netto sighed, "I didn't want to worry you. I was bad enough I had Mr. Mom over there breathing down my neck the whole time."

"Hey!" Enzan snapped.

Netto gave Enzan a small smile, "You know it's true. You kept on hinting that I should quit years before mom mentioned it."

Enzan crossed his arms, "I know, and I was right, wasn't I?"

Netto scowled, "And the fact this happened four years ago doesn't mean anything?"

"No," Enzan said.

"Nope," Rockman added.

Laika shook his head and Netto suspected Searchman and Blues were thinking the same thing. "I walked into that one," he sighed.

"That you did," Laika replied. He looked around, "Netto?" he asked.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any tea?"

Netto laughed out loud, "Of course I do. Enzan drinks coffee and you drink tea, that much I remember."

"How old is it?" Laika asked tentatively.

"About 5 months, mom drinks a lot of tea too," Netto laughed. "That is if you don't mind green tea."

Laika shook his head, "No, I don't."

"Stressed?" he asked.

Laika sighed, "A little bit," he admitted. "Where is it?"

Netto opened his mouth then closed it. "Third cupboard on the right," Rockman instructed.

"I knew that," Netto muttered.

Rockman laughed, "I know, I know," he said while Laika stood up to make his tea.

"Well, today was certainly interesting," Enzan sighed.

Netto laughed, "Andréa?" he asked.

Enzan nodded, "I don't think I've ever seen anyone as hyper as her since I met you."

Rockman allowed himself a small laugh at Netto's expense. "She was good though," he pointed out.

"I never denied that," Enzan said. "All I said was that she was hyper."

Laika came back in with a cup of tea, "That she was," he sighed and took a sip from his steaming beverage.

Netto shrugged, "I didn't mind," he said.

"You wouldn't," Enzan and Laika answered him.

Netto crossed his arms and frowned, "What is that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"Nothing," Enzan said innocently and Laika took a long draught from his cup.

Netto sighed and lay down on the couch.

"Tired?" Enzan asked.

"Three day break," Netto sing songed. "I'll bug you at work tomorrow."

"Joy," Enzan said sarcastically.

Laika hid a smile in his tea cup. "Are there any plans tomorrow?"

Netto blinked at the ceiling, "I don't know, what do you want to do? At least until we get another call."

"Could we just… do something calm?" Enzan asked.

Netto grinned, "Do you want to go to the park?" he asked.

Enzan gave Netto a small smile, "That sounds nice."

Laika looked from Netto to Enzan then back again, "All righty then, the park it is," he said.

"Right," Netto and Enzan agreed.

Laika set the empty tea cup on the coffee table. "Well, I think I'll head back to my hotel."

"Need a ride?" Enzan asked.

"Sure," Laika said and picked up his PET.

Netto grinned from his place on the couch. "See you two tomorrow."

"Bye," they said and left.

"You enjoyed today, didn't you?" Rockman asked.

Netto gave him a mysterious grin, "More then you know, nii-san."
