Chapter 3: The question
Weekend.
It was finally Fri Day. Lan perfectly scheduled to ask his secret crush his question. Do you know who this secret crush is?
If you can't, get outta here.
Anyway…
Lan approached Mayl, who walking her way home.
"Uh… Mayl?" Lan called from her back as she turned around.
"Oh, hey Lan." Mayl greeted back.
"Uh… I'm just wondering…" Lan continued, Remember what I did… remember what I did… how I practiced… "I was wondering if you and I could… hang out… together one time?" Lan offered.
"Oh, that'd be great! Where?" Mayl asked with a big smile.
"Anywhere you want! I'm fine wi-"
"We can go to the new restaurant that was going to open!" Mayl suggested, smiling and somewhat excited.
Wha… I expected a movie or something… but not just a dinner! I gotta ask her, what restaurant it is. Honestly, I'm soooo out of date! Lan thought.
"What kind of restaurant is it exactly?" Lan wondered.
"It's sushi bar. Dex said they were great!" Mayl commented.
Great. Sushi. I love sushi, but if I know MY eating habits…
BEGIN FLASHBACK
Lan Hikari was in a Chinese Restaurant with his family, and seemed to like all that food he was eating. But the problem was, the way he ate.
He ate MORE than just like a pig; he ate like dozens of pigs.
"Um… Lan? Maybe you should… slow down…" Yuichiro Hikari tried settle his son down.
"Mmph! (Chew Chew!)"
"We have to somehow stop him! He's gonna choke!" Hakura Hikari yelped as she got worried.
"Uh… Lan? If you slow down I'll… buy you a Battle Chip!" Yuichiro offered, but his son kept eating.
(Soon after they got home)
Lan was in the bathroom.
"Boy, I don't know how I should explain this one." Yuichiro gulped.
END FLASHBACK
Lan shook his head by to reality.
"Yeah, that's fine by me!" Lan replied.
"Great! So what time?" Mal wondered.
"Um… tommorow? Five thirty?" Lan suggested.
"Alright! See you later, Lan!" She cheerfully walked her way home.
She seems happy. Maybe she wanted to go after all. Lan thought.
"Lan? LAN? LAN? LAAAAN!" Mega Man called loudly enough to make the person who walked by him hear.
"Wha…? What is it, Mega Man?" Lan answered.
"Do you even know where you are?" Mega Man warned cautiously.
Lan was still on the road, but thankfully the walking flash signal still flashed green.
"Oh crap!"
Lan walked, no RAN like mad. He gasped for breath.
"Lan, how can you be so careless?" Mega Man scolded.
"Yeah, something's REALLY wrong with me today." Lan sighed.
"Yeah, and I saved you." A familiar voice said.
"Author, is that you?" The young Net Battler turned around and called to the person behind him.
"Yes, it's me, Netto Hikari." The author called back.
"Whoa! How do you know my Japanese name?" Lan questioned.
"I'm PSYCHIC." The author concluded.
"Really? How many fingers am I holding?" Lan asked as he put his hand on his back, raising no fingers at all.
"None." The author took a wild guess.
"Okay, you are psychic." Lan said as if the author was a true meaning of miracle.
"Right. Now stop being an idiot and LISTEN, Mister Smart as a small bowl of rice Hikari. I made that light go green, not by luck. Be thankful that I saved you." The author smirked.
"Yeah. I know. So what do you want me to talk about?"
The author did an anime style fall.
"WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT!" The author yelled.
"Geez, you don't have to yell… not like I don't know how to look at the lights." Lan added, "and I asked Mayl for this date thing you suggested."
"What? Really? Show me how you asked."
"I said, "I was wondering… if we could hang out together one time…" or something like that…" Lan replied.
"Wow, that was good…"
"Yeah, so I said we can go tomorrow."
The author winced.
"For the love of god, you are the dumbest person I've ever laid eyes on! On weekends, they DON'T open the sushi bars!"
Lan winced as well.
"Better tell Mayl…" Lan decided, "Wait, then I have to go to school… and we wouldn't have enough time."
The author pointed his finger at the ACDC Elementary. The school suddenly caught on fire, and Lan looked shock.
"What are you doing?" Lan questioned, "Are you crazy?"
The author pointed at the school with his other hand. It stopped burning.
"See, it would take sometime before the school gets repaired, so you can date with Mayl all ya want!" The author offered the young Net Battler.
"You're crazy… and people might suspect me for burning…"
"Lan, who do you hate the most in this world?"
"Um… Chuad."
"All right."
The newspaper articles all said Chaud was the one responsible for crime.
"What? No! I don't want that!"
"Fine…"
He instead put Wily, that crazy old geezer.
"Um…"
"Good enough. And he'll be in jail for longer time. He won't cause anymore trouble! Besides, he did plan on another WWW as well…"
"Really? Good! I gotta go though... see ya."
Lan ran off home, only to see his mother watching television.
"…and the reports say that Mister Wily of WWW organization was the one responsible for burning the school." The news reporter announced.
"I'm home, mom." Lan announced.
"Lan! Oh, I was worried!"
She hugged her son so bad, Lan might choke to probably death.
"Hrk! Relax, this happened AFTER I left school!" Lan choked.
After lots and lots of hugs, Lan was finally able to move to his room.
Next day…
Lan decided to go to that date thing…
So how will this turn out? Will it be good? You'll never know unless you tune in for the next chapter…
