Begin Chapter

It was a fine Saturday morning, and Lan was spending it in the garage. He had called Jena and was having her give instructions on how to lube his car. She was currently talking to him via videophone and a large screen TV. "Ok, so you have the wing coverings off, right?"

"Yes," said Lan as he set the second covering on the floor, "Now what?"

"Now you need to go and pull out the wings. Just push the button," she replied as Lan went into his car, "Hey, where's your bro?"

"He's over with Roll right now," said Lan as the wings emerged, "Ok, the wings are out."

"Now you need to make sure that the bolts are on tight," said Jena as Lan started to check the wings. "What do you think that they're doing?"

"Mega and Roll, I think that they're going to get something for Ring. She and Mary are leaving for Netopia soon," said Lan as he finished the first wing. "How are Johnny, Joey, and Ryan?"

"They're fine. It's been very stormy here lately," said Jena as Lan finished the second wing and retracted the wings. "Now you need to re-attach the coverings." Lan started to put the first covering on when Mega appeared in his PET.

"Hey Jena," he said as soon as he saw her.

"Hey you," she replied.

"Lan, if you inserted the gateway chip I would be able to help you," Mega said. Lan, who was struggling with the cover, walked over to his PET and inserted the chip. Mega materialized and took the cover from his brother.

"Thanks," said Lan as Mega held the cover over the wings. Lan reattached the cover and they walked over to the screen.

"How've ya been Jena?" asked Mega.

"Fine, I hear that you went shopping with your girlfriend," she said in a teasing tone.

"So, you got a problem with that," he replied in a fake angry tone. Lan rolled his eyes as the two friends broke down laughing. "Watcha been up to?"

"Nada much," she replied.

"Jena," Lan said, "Could you please pick and stick with one language?"

"Bien, Pero la lingua cuando yo quiero es espanol," she replied with an evil grin. Lan looked at Mega, confused at what she had just said.

"She said 'Sure, but the language that I want is Spanish,'" he replied.

"Well fine, is that all I need to lube my car?" Lan asked.

"Si. Bien trabajo chico," she replied as Lan looked at Mega.

"Translation- Yes. Good job kid'. I think that you need to take Spanish next semester," said Mega.

"Why? I've got you," said Lan. Jena broke down laughing.

"Su hermanito es locito," said Jena to Mega.

"Es la verdad," he replied.

"English please!" Lan begged. "Did you ever do this to the people in the hospital?"

"Si, pero, por que necesitamos hablar ingles?" asked Jena.

"I need to understand what you're asking, please go back to English!" Mega was about to retort when Maylu came into Lan's garage.

"What's going on here?" asked Maylu.

"Mega and Jena won't speak English. It's getting really annoying," Lan said as Mega and Jena tried not to laugh.

"Ok, we'll speak English again," said Jena, "How are you Maylu?"

"I'm fine. Oh, Lan, look at what Yai gave me!" she said as she pulled out a gateway chip.

"Yai?" asked Mega as he looked at the chip.

"Yeah, I sent it to her. I forgot your address, sorry," said Jena to Maylu as she slotted in the chip. Roll appeared right beside Mega.

"Thanks for the chip!" said Roll as she attached herself to Mega's arm.

"Are you going somewhere?" asked Maylu as she looked at the car, which was looking nicer than it did a few weeks ago.

"I don't know. I think that I might fly it over to the airport so we could say goodbye to Mary," said Lan as he looked at the clock.

"Well, I need to get going. Lan, I'll send you the diary that I kept while I was in the hospital. I recorded every 'bad' thing that the kids there did," she said. They all said their goodbyes as Jena turned off the monitor.

"We had better get going too. Lan, did you get your car passed with Chief?" asked Mega.

"Yes, and I got my license right here," he replied as he got in the car and pulled out the card. "Are you riding with us, or are you going to take your car?"

"I'm taking mine," said Mega as he and Roll went back to the net, and got in his car. "See ya there."

"Ok," said Lan as he pulled out of the garage.

Mary, Chaud, and Yai pulled up in front of the airport a half-hour before her flight left. "Why did we have to get here so early?" asked Mary as they walked into the foyer.

"Because everyone is coming to say goodbye," said Yai.

"There're Tory and Dex," said Chaud as the two boys ran over to their group.

"Have any of you seen Maylu or Lan?" asked Tory.

"They're on their way," said Proto from Chaud's PET. "Lan's driving, or flying."

"What?" asked Ring and Mary simultaneously.

"Lan has a car that can be turned into a small plane," explained Chaud.

"Oh," said Mary as she looked out the window. She saw a formula one racecar drive into the garage. "What type of car does he have?"

"A racecar," said Dex as he watched Lan and Maylu come into the airport.

"Hey everyone!" said Maylu as she gave Mary a hug. "I can't believe that you're leaving so soon."

"Yeah. Lan, was that your racecar?" she asked.

"It was. I think that we made great time. We left my house five minutes ago," he bragged.

"Don't you live on the opposite side of town?" asked Chaud.

"Well, I got the wings working, so we flew here," said Lan.

"That sounds like fun," said Yai. "Mary, do you have your ticket?"

"Right here," she said as she pulled the ticket out.

"It's almost time for you to go, and we can't go to the gate," said Chaud as he looked at his watch.

"I wish that I could stay for a few more days," said Mary as she threw her arms around Chaud. Everyone smiled at this, even Yai smiled a bit.

"I do too, but you need to go home to your parents," Chaud replied.

"You're right," she said. "But at least I'm leaving with a bunch of pen-pals," she said, smiling.

In the net, everyone was saying their goodbyes to Ring. "It was nice having you stay with us, Miss Ring," said Glyde as he kissed her hand.

"Yeah," said Roll as she gave Ring a hug, "I'm going to miss having another girl Navi here. Too bad you didn't get to meet Medi."

"I think that I will see her someday," she replied.

"Well," said Iceman, "I think that there's a little less than ten minutes before your plane leaves." Ring looked at the clock and saw that he was right.

"Awww, I'm going to miss all of you!" she said.

"Um, Ring, could I talk to you for a minute, alone?" Proto asked, and Ring followed him out of the circle of Navis.

"What do you need?" she asked as soon as they were out of earshot.

"I wanted to give you this," he said as he pulled out a box. Ring took and opened the box. It was a necklace with her symbol on it.

"It's beautiful!" she exclaimed as she threw her arms around his neck. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. Chaud and I were hoping that you and Mary could come and visit this summer," he said, blushing a little.

"We're going to have to ask, but I think that we can. Thank you!" she said as a screen with Mary's face popped up.

"Time to go," she said.

"Ok," said Ring as she let go of Proto, said her final goodbyes to everyone, and logged out.

That night, Chaud lay awake in his bed. "Chaud, is something the matter?"

"I just miss Mary. I think that you miss Ring too, Proto," he replied.

"Yes, but she said that she would email you soon. You don't honestly expect her to email the night that she got back to her family?" Proto replied.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Chaud answered. "She'll email me tomorrow."

"I gave Ring that necklace that I bought," Proto said.

"Did she like it?" Chaud asked, looking at Proto, who blushed.

"Yes, yes she did," he said.

"Told ya," said Chaud as he rolled back over. "Well, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."

"Goodnight," said Proto as he put the PET on sleep mode.

Mega was sitting on the roof of the Hikari residence. "It took some persuading to get Lan to slot in the chip, but it was worth it. Too bad I won't be able to wake him up like this tomorrow. Oh well, better to have him sleep in than have the gateway chip destroyed."

"Nice night isn't it," came a voice from the other side of the roof. Mega turned around and saw Roll come over and sit down beside him.

"Yes it is. What are you doing here?" he asked as Roll laid her head on his shoulder, which he responded to by putting his arm around her.

"I couldn't sleep, and I saw you climb on the roof. Maylu slotted in the chip before she went to sleep," she replied. "Why are you up here?"

"I like being outside, and like you said, it's a nice night," he said.

"What did Jena mean when she said her hospital diary?"

"Well, all the nurses wanted us to write down what it was like here for us. I wrote a journal, that I think that either Jena has, and Jena wrote a diary. Both books were chronicles of our accomplishments. We wrote down everything that we, or someone that we had helping, did; if we got caught or not; and if we were, what the punishment was. I bet the nurses didn't know about half of the stuff that we did," he said laughing.

"So she was going to send hers so that Lan could see what real troublemakers can do?" she asked.

"Pretty much, and I emailed her and she's going to send mine too. Lan's not going to read that one until I've re-read it," he commented.

"Well, I had better get home. See you tomorrow!" she said as he made her way back to the ground. Mega watched her walk into her house, and lay back on the roof.

"This is going to be an interesting week. Knowing Jena, she over-nighted the books, so I had better get those before Lan does. I wonder what Jena wrote in her's other than the list. Well, I'll find out tomorrow," he thought as he fell asleep on the roof with the cool breeze rustling his hair.

End Chapter
