So, someone pointed out to me that Geo seems like an asshole. Which is the intent for the beginning few challenges for Geo. I want to establish him as an asshole Emo, but he has some kindness in him, though it's very rare for him to do it. (Lucian Naruto, you get a cookie for that by the way) It is intended for him, though that can change mind you, for him to start the process of being less of a dick when Sonia makes her first appearance in the game. I don't want Geo to instantly like Sonia like in the game, but by the end of the Harp Note arc, he will be less asshole-ish to her. That of which is going to be fun to write, as Geo only really helps if he feels like it, or if there is something fishy about the situation.

This chapter is brought to you by Character Development and Emotional development. It's something everyone needs, else characters are considered the dreaded Mary/Gary sue, and we don't like or want that. I mean, if you consider Geo a Gary Sue, with his attitude.

The next day

I wake up in my bed, confused. Wasn't I waiting in the kitchen for Geo? I must have fallen asleep waiting for my son. I get up and notice a note on my nightstand, with Geo's handwriting.

Hey mom,

Sorry, I came home late last night. Luna and her friends wouldn't stop bothering me, making me come home later I would have.

When I finally got away from them, I found you sleeping on the table, so I took you to your bed and wrote this note for you.

Love you mom.

-Geo

As I finish reading the note, the doorbell goes off. I quickly look at my Transer, yep, it's that time again for them to bug me about Geo. I sigh, going downstairs to the front door, to see the three at the door.

"Can I help you?" I ask as politely as I can.

"Hello, Ms. Stelar. Do you know if Geo will be coming to school today?" Luna asks, with a bad attempt to sound sweet. She seems to bounce around as if wishing to get going to school.

"No, he won't be coming to school today. Now you should be going to school, shouldn't you?" I ask, trying to be polite, while also trying to get them to leave. I figure this would be the best way to encourage them to leave.

"Okay, Ms. Stelar. Please try to convince him to go to school though. It's important to his future, after all." she says, hopping away, with Bud and Zack following along.

I close the door and sigh. It's frustrating to deal with this practically every day. At least she doesn't do it during the summer, for the most part, and weekends. I just wish she would let it go, after nine years of trying. Though, at some points, it seems like she seems... Sad about him not coming. It's hard to really say with her.

One of the reasons why I understand Geo's hatred for them, Luna, in particular, is that not even a month after Kevin disappeared, she started coming around, asking if Geo would be coming to school. When she started doing it though, it seemed like she was worried about him, I thought at least. At least, that's what I thought was the case.

The first few weeks, I could understand, but after three years of it, and the Incident, Geo has lost any chance of being patient with others, and views them with mistrust, and believing most individuals wish to bring harm to him in some capacity, physical, mental, or emotional.

Ever since that girl came and deceived him into believing she was a friend, it broke him badly. His trust is one of the hardest things you can gain and is super fragile. It doesn't help that Luna does have ulterior motives for him going to school, and Bud, Luna's bodyguard, for the most part, is essentially a big physical bully, making Geo become the way he is.

I know he punched Bud in the jaw, and he never apologized to him for it, but I won't worry about it now. I know I will confront him about it later. Geo, I know he would be perfectly fine letting Luna die, Bud and Zack being fine additions to him, and I hate the fact I know that. I love my son, but knowing how he is currently, breaks my heart. I know Kevin would be extremely disappointed, something very rare for him, at Geo for his attitude to people in general. Then again, if Kevin never disappeared, Geo would most likely be different mentally, though I don't know that, and I don't blame Kevin for something he couldn't control.

I notice a wet feeling on my cheek and realize I started crying, thinking of what my son has become, among things. I hate his attitude about others, but I know flat out, it will take someone honest to help him recover, and someone who genuinely cares about, who also has the time to help him. I would, but I have to work, to keep a house over our heads, and food on the table for us both. I know I am making excuses, to a degree, but it is still a fact that I can't help. As I think this, I walk up to Geo's room to check on him, and I find him asleep, blanket on the floor, Transer off and on his nightstand, as he snores lightly like his father did when he was still here. This is the only time he looks at peace and happy, asleep, that I am aware of. He even went to sleep in his red jacket, to my amusement. He must have been pretty tired if he forgot to change.

I smile slightly at the sight, though it's a sad smile, as he shouldn't have only one way to be at peace, asleep. I know he goes cloud and star gazing, but I question if he is truly happy doing it, and not just using it as a way to avoid contact with people. I know one thing for sure though, whoever wishes to gain his trust, has one hell of a time working on it.

"I love you, Geo. You may not hear me in your sleep, but I do love you." I say, tearing up slightly again. "It really hurts, seeing and hearing the way you are. I really wish you would open up more, but that's a challenge in of itself for anyone to get you to do." I chuckle, to myself, "Though maybe someone is willing to help heal you, from the damage you suffered, ever since she came and broke your ability to trust others. I hope they can help you, whoever they are. You shouldn't have to feel this way, always believing someone to have ulterior motives, to deceive you, among things." I notice my cheeks become wetter as I continue talking to myself, and a sleeping Geo, "I wish you could have had a happier childhood. I wish you could have been able to have your father here with you. I wish," at this, I hold back a slight sob, "I wish you weren't so hostile to others who wish to help you. I know some have ulterior motives like Luna, but some do genuinely wish to help. I wish you could see that. I love you, Geo." I say, kissing him on the head, and leaving his room, to change and go to work. I also grab a jacket, due to the storm that's almost here.

I honestly feel awkward, having witnessed Hope's emotional conversation between her and a sleeping Geo. I knew the kid would have problems, but when I came here I expected at most, a depressed kid, not one that would willing let others die, simply because he didn't care enough, or he hated them with a passion.

I learned that he would be a tough one to help and heal, I knew he was going to be a challenge, but our first fusion nearly ended with failure, and we were really lucky that in terms of physical connection, we were complementary to each other in that sense, but mentally and emotionally, the fusion against the viruses in the train, and Taurus Fire could have at any second, destabilized, and causing more damage to us than I would be comfortable with.

Listening to his mother, made me realize something. The kid is nearly broken, while I honestly want to help him, he doesn't trust for a decent reason.

I haven't told him about those after me, why they are after me, and his father, the whole reason why he let me stay with him in the first place.

While I was honest in saying that Kevin asked me not to tell Geo much about his condition, since I turned him into an EM Waves to rescue him. Since I also stole the Andromeda Key from King Cepheus, I have been on the run. Then again, I didn't want others to suffer the fate of my homeworld Planet AM, destroyed by Andromeda, by command of Cepheus.

I should tell this to Geo later, but I need to explain it in a way that he won't instantly get pissed off at me. I know Cygnus was right behind Taurus in his chase for me, but I don't know if he already arrived, or got lost as I did six years ago, on the way here.

may not be able to help you in the way your mom wants but I will do my best to help you, Geo. I hope I can be able to, at least. I am more of a fighter than a healer in that regard, but I will do my best at least!

Now, I just need to wait for him to wake up. I should wait until we are alone to talk to him, that way he won't be overheard. That wouldn't go well, after all. Though, his reaction is going to be... less than pleasant I am sure of.

As I ready to wait for Geo to wake up, a loud explosion is made, and I panic, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on until I hear a pitter-patter on the roof. I look out Geo's window and see that the weather has gotten unpleasant. So this is a thunderstorm, which Geo mentioned yesterday. I thought a different FM-ian arrived. But it was just thunder, so I will relax for now.

A few hours later

Slowly, the world brightens up, no longer as dark as it was. I must be waking up. Great, I was sleeping well too. I slowly open my eyes, to see Mega floating around, inspecting my telescope that my dad got me. Though, it doesn't work since SHE came around, and damaged it.

I slowly get out of bed, trying to avoid a charlie horse, which I can feel building in my calf. I really hate those things, but I notice that a good chunk of my body is also sore, so the pain from the two fights still affects me in the non EM world. I check to see if I am bleeding anywhere, and luckily I am not. So I was originally wrong, they did follow me to an extent, just not true physical pain, a more body pain influenced by mental beliefs, how interesting.

I manage to stand up, even with my body screaming at me in protest of such actions. Guess even with the sleep I got, my body doesn't approve of me doing anything except laying on my bed. As I finish standing up, I hear the thunderstorm making its presence know, with the flash of lightning and the loud clap of thunder. Welp, I won't be able to cloud and stargaze today, I was hoping that the storm would miss us. Guess not though. Fuck.

I walk down to my computer, Mega following me all the while, as I boot my computer up. As I wait for it to boot up, I look at the TV and turn it on. The news is the channel that pops up, talking about the weather, and how the thunderstorm will last until five am. Fantastic, won't be leaving the house today. At least I won't run into the annoyance gang. The news goes on, about the increased virus numbers, and how the 'red Vandel' stopped their rampage against the color red recently. Well, Bud was the one doing it, thus when I beat him as Taurus Flame, Taurus couldn't control him anymore, so he won't go on rampages anymore.

I chuckle slightly, enjoying the memory of the punch I landed on him. He may look big and strong, and he has some strength to back him up, but he isn't that strong, except in the stomach. Punching him felt really good, as I was able to rid all of the anger I had that day, and I don't regret smashing his jaw on him.

What I wish I didn't do, was rescue him, Luna, and Zack from the truck. I know they could have been injured or killed, but I really don't care about that. It would be great if they died, as they would finally leave me the fuck alone. Well, I mainly hate Luna, but Bud and Zack haven't done anything to earn me to like them at the minimum. Hell, all they have done is support Luna in driving me insane about 'going to school, which isn't necessary for me, as I do have really good grades. But I still wouldn't care about them if they were about to die.

After a minute, my computer finally boots up, and I put in my security code, pin, and Password to use it. First, I check my email. I apparently have three new messages. The first one is unknown, which I just mark as spam, and ignore. The second one is from Luna, demanding me to apologize to Bud, and to come to school. I just delete it and block her email address. The third one is from Aaron Boreal. Huh, I thought he would be too busy sitting on his ass, pretending to do work, and caring about me and my mom.

I decide to read the email, and after a few sentences, promptly delete it. What a load of crap from him. Nothing but a false apology, and trying to win me over with promises that he wouldn't keep at all. I am not stupid, he is just doing this to keep himself looking good to others. I don't believe one bit that he cares, he only cares about himself and his reputation.

After deleting the email, Mega seems to finally find the courage to talk. "Kid, I am going, to be honest with you. It's about my situation and who I think is next to arrive on the planet." What caught my attention instantly. He is finally going to tell me the truth, and says who could be next!? Impressive. He must think I will like him more from that, even though I gave him plenty of time, and he could have said something about that before Taurus showed up, among things.

"Oh? Do tell Mega. What is it you have to say?" I exclaim with no emotion in my voice. Hey, I really think he should have said something sooner instead of later.

"First off, the reason why the others are after me is because I stole their superweapons key. The key would be used to awaken a planet destroyer named Andromeda. The last use of it was on their sister planet, Planet AM. It destroyed the planet, leaving no known survivors." I notice he seems to gains a strange look in his eyes at the mention of the planet and its fate. Why would he care, if he didn't grow up not? "When King Cepheus learned of your planet, he had me lead an attack on the space station your father worked on. He survived before you ask, I just don't know where h could be. Though after that, I took the key when it was revealed that Cepheus planned on using it on your world, as he deemed humanity an enemy due to his paranoia. That's the reason for the increase in virus attacks on the planet. Cygnus is the one I believe will be the one to attack next, but I don't know when or where." Mega finished, looking at me with a hint of worry in his eyes.

I just look at him in disbelief. While I am surprised he admitted this, but to hold this level of shit back is unreal. A fucking planet destroyer and he stole the key to it!? What the fuck! He was the one who attacks my dad's space station, a station meant for peace!

I glance at my hands, and I see them shaking out of rage. I am not pissed. I. not angry. I am ENRAGED. I look at Mega, then lunge at him, only to go through him in the process. "YOU MOTHER FUCKER! YOU'RE THE REASON HE IS GONE! GET OUT!" I scream at Mega, who looks surprised at my reaction. What, did he expect sunshine, lollipops, and fucking rainbows?

"Kid I-"

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE! LEAVE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" I scream, feeling tears coming down my cheeks. He just looks at me, sad, before floating out of my room.

Fucking bastard, tells me he is the reason why Dad is missing, then expects me to react calmly I bet. Piece of EM shit, or its equivalent. I grab a random object in my room, an old baseball bat, and fling it at a wall, causing the bat to break into pieces, with splinters going all over the place. I then grab my laptop, which is messed up due to a virus I bet was from FM, and chuck it at the same wall as the bat, causing a dent to form in the wall, and the laptop shattering into dozens of pieces, parts coming apart and landing on the baseball bat. I then scream in pure rage, before blacking out from my anger.

I knew it wouldn't go well, but by Leo, it went way worse than any expectation I could have dreamed of. The rage in his eyes, his hands shaking so badly, that it looked like they would fall off any second, and his attempted lunge at me. I knew it would piss him off, but that badly? Mother of Pegasus, his reaction tells me a lot.

CRACK

SMASH

I wince, hearing him throwing something at his wall, then his enraged scream, and boy it sounds bad.

Thump

I hear what I assume is him hitting the ground, and I quickly go back in, to see him laying on the ground, unmoving. It honestly scared me, seeing and hearing his rage. I honestly fear that he will be more vulnerable to other FM-ians, among potential dangers. I can't in my right mind leave him alone, even after he screamed at me to leave.

I float up to his bed, and hop into his Transer device, and bury myself deep enough where he can't notice me, but not enough where I won't know what's going on.

Kevin would be greatly disappointed if I abandoned his son, and quite frankly, I would be disappointed in myself if I just abandoned him like that. So I will just watch him and hope he has no need of me or gets into any trouble, though I doubt that things will go his way all the time.

I just feel disappointed, at the fact that I would cause him to have such a reaction to that information. Kevin would be heavily disappointed in Geo, with his attitude, among things. I don't know how Kevin would handle it, but he wouldn't be very happy regardless, that I know for sure.

Three hours later

I slowly come to again, face first in what I am certain is my flooring. I must have passed out from my rage. I look around, to see the Bat and Laptop on the floor, shattered in multiple parts, leaving a mess on my floor. I sigh, and as I start to get up, I freeze, shoving my hand on my head.

My head. It feels like someone is trying to run it over with and construction vehicle. Great, now I have to go and take some pain meds for my head, along with the medicine I should be taking for my mental issues, that I haven't been taking. Great, just great.

After going to take some pain meds, and cleaning up the mess, I just look at the dent in my wall and slightly cringe. I know mom won't like that for sure.

A minute passes, and I realize I didn't grab my Transer. So I go up to my nightstand, and put on my Transer, and turn it on. As soon as it finishes booting up, I notice I have three emails. The first one is spam, about penis enchantment or some stupid shit. Surprising that shit is still around.

The second Email is from Luna? Great, she Emailed me. I will check it out later, more just to humor her ass.

The third Email is strange. It seems like whoever wrote it, was fucked up badly, as it's got some problems and one line saying 'It's not over. Urgh.' How odd.

Now let's see Luna's email.

Hey Geo, can we talk in private sometime soon? I wish to talk to you about something important.

-Luna

What does she wish to tell me, I need to come to school or some shit? I don't delete the Email, but I put it in the 'Fuck Off' folder of Emails I have.

God Damn it, I hate the fact that Mega didn't feel the need to tell me about what happened, but at the same time, I feel guilty about my reaction, a pang of slight guilt that is. Though my reaction was a bit overdramatic, he was the one who made it where Kevin isn't able to return currently and the one who got the FM-ians all pissy, so while I am pissed at Mega, I do feel guilty about my reaction, and what I said to him.

I sigh, realizing that I can't do anything about it at this point, so I check the weather, and see it's going to be clear tomorrow, which is nice.

I hop into my chair and begin doing my pathetically easy homework, and just research astronomy facts.

A few hours pass, with the storm continuing, I just get up from my computer, and check the time, to see it's four pm. Well, Mom should be home soon. At least I cleaned up the mess, minus the dent in the wall.

Suddenly, my Transer goes off, I must have received a new Email. I check it, to see Aaron sent me an email, saying I should visit his space research lab, AMAKEN. Honestly, it sounds interesting, but he also is the same person to basically abandon his best friend's family as he did for nine years, so why should I care about anything he says?

But it's a space research lab, so I am slightly curious. Maybe I will visit in the future, just when I don't know.

Finally, at seven pm, I hear the front door open.

"Geo! I'm home!" Mom announces to me.

I get slightly worried, if she comes up here, she will see the dent, and that won't end well. I quickly get out of my chair, and go downstairs, to see her taking her shows off, and hanging her drenched jacket on the holder to dry. I mean, it's still coming down out there, so I am not surprised by the fact that her jacket is drenched.

"H-hey, mom!" I curse myself for stuttering. She likely suspects something now.

"Geo dear, is everything okay?" Mom asks, looking at me with concern.

I gulp slightly. " Yeah, everything is fine" I respond nervously.

She just stares at me, worry showing through on her face. Eventually, I just snap.

"No. I may have lost my temper slightly. I received an email from Aaron, and I reacted negatively to it. I may have dented my wall because of it." I say sheepishly and scared of her reaction.

She seems to process what I said, before glaring at me. "Have you been taking your medicine as required young man? And don't you dare lie to me either." She says, annoyed.

Shit. She knows about it then. "N-no, mom." I stutter.

"You know you have to take it. You know why you have to. Your attitude will be a hindrance when you have to get a job after all. I won't be around forever, Geo. I want you to be able to be successful when I am gone. Besides, it will prevent events like you punching Bud in the jaw like you did. I don't want to push it, but you have to realize your actions have consequences. Start taking your medicine, like you are required to, and apologize to Bud. Understood young man?" Mom says sternly, in a tone that says No isn't an answer I can give.

I sigh, knowing I won't win this argument. "Yes, mother." I grumble at her.

"What was that Geo? I didn't hear you correctly." She says while giving me an irritated look.

"I said yes mother." I say, louder so she can head me clearly

"Good. Now, I want you to take your medicine after you eat, then tomorrow I want you to apologize to Bud. You know better than to pull that, as you can be arrested for assault." She scolds me, much to my irritation.

I shouldn't apologize to that fat idiot who shoves his nose so far up Luna's ass, that he is smelling what she had for dinner last week. Besides, he was manhandling me, so I could argue in self-defense from him. I really hate all three of them, but I won't fight with my mom about it.

That doesn't mean the apology has to be genuine.

Elsewhere

I look up at my ceiling and sigh.

I know I want perfect attendance for my class, and that's a good thing for my record as class president.

But with Geo, it's not about the attendance so much, as it's about seeing him with a smile again.

I sigh, looking to the side of my desk, to see an old picture, from when I was just a small child, about 5-6 I want to say. I look at it and see myself standing next to Geo, smiling next to him.

I remember those days before my parents went nuts about what they want, and when Geo was my friend. I remember the day of that picture.

Flashback to 12 years ago

"Geo!" I yelled, hugging Geo, who looks just as happy to see me.

"H-hey Luna." He stuttered cutely.

Back then, we both were friends, hanging out, playing, and just talking in general. I remember overhearing Ms. Stellar telling Mr. Stellar that we looked cute together that day.

We spent that day, playing on the playground, just enjoying each other's company, happy as kids could be.

"Hey Geo?"

"Yeah, Luna?" He responds, looking at me with mirth, and slight curiosity of what I want.

"Can you make a promise to me?" I ask, shyly. I blushed slightly, due to the promise I wanted made. "Can you promise that we will be friends forever?" I ask Geo.

He looks at me, slightly surprised, before grinning. "Of course Luna, we will be friends forever!" He answered, joy coming from him visibly.

I just hugged him, thankful to have a friend like him.

Present

I miss those days. Thinking of it reminds me of the day he broke his promise, and I realized, my heart hurts slightly.

9 years ago

It has been a month since Mr. Stelar went missing, and a week since I saw Geo. I wanted to give him time and some space to try and grieve, while I don't understand how he feels, I figured that it would be good to give him some space.

I walked up to his door and knocked a few times. About ten minutes past, before Geo came to the door, but I could tell he changed. His demeanor seemed far more depressed, and he looked like he didn't get much sleep recently.

"What? Geo asks, clearly irritated.

"Geo, I came to see if you were okay. I-" I start saying, only for him to interrupt me.

"I am fine. Leave me alone." He says rudely, before slamming the door in my face. I just stand there, in total shock.

I couldn't believe he did that. It takes a few minutes to process what just happened, before I knock again, this time Ms. Stellar answers the door, and I feel slightly sad on the inside that Geo didn't answer it.

"Ah, hello Luna." Ms. Stelar greets me, looking worse than Geo did. She looks like she is struggling to stay awake, and her eyes are red from crying, I am willing to guess.

I quickly decide to ask the question I would ask for nine years in a row. "Ms. Stelar, do you know if Geo will be coming to school today?" I ask, hoping she says yes, he will. I don't want to lose my only friend, and I am honestly scared of that.

"I... I don't think he will be coming Luna. It's still too early to say if I am to be honest. thank you for checking on him though Luna, and I apologize for his rudeness." She says, a sniffle breaking out on her.

"Thank you Ms. Stelar. Have a good day." I say, doing my best to keep a straight face, as I turn around and walk away. After I hear the door, I run to the Playground we always hanged you at and cried hard.

Present

After that day, I could tell he forgot our friendship and promise. but six years ago, he went from being annoyed with me, Bud, who I need to apologize to for my reaction the other day about, and Zack.

I don't know what happened, but he ended up becoming an asshole. I know I am bitch about the attendance thing, and I do care about having one in class, but I want Geo to come back, back to the way he was 9 years ago.

I want him in school, so I can be friends with him again, and we can finally fix the promise he broke, though I bet he forgot it, and be friends again.

Who knows, he might end up being the one to help me get married to Mega Man.

But I do miss those days.

I feel a wetness on my cheeks, and I look in my mirror, to see I am crying.

I hate that Geo is an asshole to me, I just want him to have a good future, and I want to be his friend again.

I want Geo back, as a friend.

Maybe Mega Man can help repair our friendship, so I can finally marry without regret if my parents don't continue their push for me to marry by their choice, not mine.

Maybe, Geo will remember his promise to me. I want him to be my friend again.

Well. That was a ride. Thanks to Lucian Naruto for a good portion of ideas, mainly with Luna. I originally had planned out for her to be a stuck up, but well-meaning bitch, but things changed. I hope you guys like this chapter, next chapter might be shorter, for a little more character development, then I will move on to the Cygnus Wing arc. Believe me, I didn't plan to go this route originally, but I got ideas, and they started a roll until it got messy. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoyed it, and have a great day!
