A/N: Wow! I never knew I would be so popular! sniff You like me...YOU REALLY LIKE ME! First, I want to thank the Academy- oops, wrong speech. Oh, by the way, I might not be able to update for a while after this one, I have to go back to my dad's house in a day or two, and this stuff's saved on my mom's computer, so I don't know whether I'll be able to take it with me or not. Fear not, this legacy is NOT OVER! Muahahahahah!...MUFFIN!

"So." Chaud and Lan were now in Lan's room, laying in opposite directions on the bed.

"So what?" Both were calm, no crying, no anger, no nothing. Just laying there.

"I don't know." The room was silent, but it wasn't a peaceful silence. It felt...wrong. Like they weren't supposed to be there. (A/N: well DUH they're supposed to be in school :P)

In the world Megaman's PET, the situation was mirrored. Megaman and Protoman, laying in opposite directions on Megaman's bed. (A/N: when did he get a bed? 0o)

"What do you want to do?" Lan was fed up with the silence. He didn't just want to sit there, doing nothing. It didn't feel right. It felt like someone, somewhere, was foreshadowing events to come.

"I don't know, what do you wanna do?" Here was the beginning of one of the most common conversations between gulp couples.

"Want to go to Maylu's house?" Lan suggested. Maybe if the two of them weren't going to school, she didn't go either.

"No, Protoman told her we weren't going to school, and she said she would go and tell Ms. Mari. Which means she's at school." Chaud was hoping that Lan wouldn't bring up what they dreamed about last night. It was a rough night for him...

Flashback...

"What are you doing, Chaud?" Chaud was walking toward Lan with the strangest look on his face: almost one...longing, passion. Sadness mingled in there somewhere. "No...go away..."

"I'm not leaving you...you're stuck with me...Didn't you say that yourself one time? Well, now it's my turn. You need me..." Lan struggled forward...his body seemed to be resisting all movement, but his mind begged to move. His body eventually won the fight, and he fell forward. "Ow..."

Chaud's face turned into one of concern. "Lan!" He ran forward to help his fallen friend, but was pushed away. "No...I don't need you!" Lan tried to push himself up, but was unable to. Chaud bent down and picked him up, and they looked into eachother's eyes for the longest time.

Finally Chaud broke the stare and began to lean forward, but Protoman's voice broke through the silence..."Chaud...get up..."

End Flashback...

Please don't let him ask...

"So. What did you dream about last night?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Maylu?"

"Present."

"Chaud?...Chaud Blaze? Does anyone know where Chaud is?"

Maylu raised her hand and said, "He's staying at Lan's house for a while."

Ms. Mari looked confused, but she marked the boy absent.

"Lan?...Lan Hikari? Where's Lan? It's unlike him to miss school on Friday..."

Maylu raised her hand again. "He's at home too...he recieved some really bad news yesterday. That's why Chaud's there."

Ms. Mari sighed, then marked Lan absent as well. "What kind of news?"

Maylu looked up with a gasp. Should I tell her? She needs to know why they're gone, but would Lan want me to tell her? Not in front of all these people, of course...

"It's...kind of a sensitive matter...may I tell you in private?"

Ms. Mari wondered why she needed to be told in privacy, but she agreed, and they went out into the hallway to talk.

"Lan's mother..." Maylu began.

Ms. Mari gasped. His mother...oh no, it couldn't be!...

"Lan found out yesterday that she passed away." Maylu's eyes were dark now as she looked to her PET, and noticed vaguely that Roll was gone. Then she remembered what Roll had said about going to talk to Megaman.

"Oh dear...I'm so sorry..." Ms. Mari was shocked. Mrs. Hikari had always been so lively, never wanting to quit. "Those two can stay home as long as it takes for Lan to...feel better. Would he mind if I told the class?"

"Yes, I think he would, actually. That's why I asked to tell you in private." Maylu was sure that Lan would love the attention normally, like he got when Megaman was almost deleted, but this would just be overwhelming. Too much.

"I understand. Alright, back into class." Ms. Mari and Maylu walked in silence back into the class full of curious eyes and averted every one's gaze.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lan's eyes now looked into Chaud's deep blue ones, amazed at what he was hearing. He had never shared a dream with anyone, no less Chaud. He was also surprised at the nature of the dream...what did it mean? Was it a premonition?

The two were now laying on their sides, looking at eachother, each with their head resting on one of their hands.

"What do you think it means, Chaud?"

Chaud was silent. He was busy thinking it over. What should he do? Should he "fulfill the prophecy of the dream"? Damn...why'd we both have to dream it? It could've been just one of us, and none of this would be going on right now.

"Chaud...?"

Protoman interrupted the silence by telling Chaud that the two Navis had heard that Roll had been kidnapped in NetCity, and they were going to find her. Chaud agreed in silence, and waited for the duo to leave before speaking. "I don't know what this means..."

Another silence, but this one felt much more comfortable. Like this silence was...just better. They stared into eachother's eyes for what seemed like the longest time, and then Chaud leaned in, just like in their dream, and kissed Lan right on the lips. Little did they know that a curious girl with a very shiny forehead was watching through the window.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEWARE THE FLUFF! I noticed in the last part that I had barely done anything with Roll, so I decided to make her dissapear. It's too much work trying to write storylines for characters I don't really write much about. Besides, she's not what the story's about. I bet no one can guess who the shiny forehead was! XD I just had to do that. I need ideas for who kidnapped Roll, I'm thinking along the lines of Burnerman. I just LUV Burnerman. 3 3 3 3 3
