A/N: Ohmibob! Chappie SIX! Omb…I'm sooooo proud…but ok, I need my people to help me decide…should I let Roll have Megaman, or Protoman? This is all so confoozing…and to anyone who objects to me making people's speech separated from their actions (like in Ch.5 with Protoman –ahem, interrupting), I'm so sorry. I just can't help it. It makes speech seem more…dramatic, I think. Yeah.

Oh, and btw, SO SORRY! For not updating sooner, my FREAKING dad grounded me from the computer (and i don't have my own yet vv so sad); this is the first time updating in a while.

My peopleeees!

Grandmaster p: ooooh yeah he is.

RandomRathFan: I know, isn't she? I don't know why she's proud of it either. Ok, I'll continue with the pairing, and I'll try to update soon! Sry for taking so long, btw…curse you, writers block!

terratasha: yay! So do I! i think Chaud's just...i dunno, better with emotions, doncha think?

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

"Protoman?"

"Yes, Chaud?" Protoman was happy to actually have someone talk to him, instead of go around and kiss other people, namely girl Navis. In pink outfits. With long blond hair with a green bow. And a name that begins with R.

"Go find Megaman for Lan." Chaud was lying outside with Lan, both of their backs against a big oak tree.

"How will I find him? He could be anywhere." Truthfully, Protoman was unsure of whether he really wanted to go find Megaman or not. After what he did to me…but he probably feels so bad about it now…but what if he doesn't? Then it's not worth it at all…but if he is and I don't go looking for him, he could get attacked or kidnapped, or…

Chaud's parting words to Protoman brought him out of his reverie and into an immense feeling of guilt.

"Just follow the trail of tears. You'll find him." (A/N: OMBob i don't know what i was thinking when i wrote this, i must have been really sad.)

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

What have I done? What am I going to do? I betrayed Protoman…worse yet, Roll knows…what do I freaking do? Damnit, this is all so confusing!

Megaman had left Roll after taking her back to Maylu and her PET. Now he was running through the streets of NetCity, trying to find a place where he could collect his thoughts and think of a plan.

Damn...this feels like I'm a fugitive...a criminal...well, I did break "the laws of trust" as Protoman put it...crap, crap, crap! I can't keep running forever...Lan's probably worried...Roll's probably worried...Protoman's probably crying his eyes out...

Megaman found himself getting teary as well, but all the while he kept running.

I'm running...but from what? Nobody's looking for me...I told Roll not to come look for me...Protoman's sure not gonna come look for me after...damn it all! I'm such an idiot! How could I have done this?

Finally, a place to stop and catch his breath was found: a small park, empty except for a couple of Navis walking around. Megaman sat on a bench wearily and tried to slow his breathing. Now what? He thought to himself as night fell. I should probably go back...but to where? Not Protoman...But as soon as that thought crossed his mind, it became more and more logical to go see him. After all, he's in need of some comfort...but first, I've got to get back to Lan.

In the distance, Megaman suddenly heard a worried voice echoing around NetCity. "Megamaaaaaaan...where are you?" Protoman! But...I thought...oh my god, what if he finds me? I gotta get out of here! But he was frozen by a tall Navi dressed in red. "...Protoman..."

-------M-E-A-N-W-H-I-L-E-------

"Hey, Chaud?"

"Hm?" The pair was still sitting under the oak tree, with Chaud being deep in thought and Lan being deep in grass. (A/N: XD!)

"...What on earth are we doing?" Lan watched his friend from the corner of his eye. "I mean, we are supposed to be in school, right?"

Chaud looked at the teenager curiously. "Why do you say that? You're in no shape to go to school, and I'm helping you get into shape." A small, cute smile suddenly crossed his face. He jumped up with unexpected energy, lifted Lan up by the arms, and started pretending to "get him in shape". He raised his arms in mock exercise. "1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2...come on, Lan, we've got to get in shape!" He started laughing, which, of course, got Lan at it too. "Oh, so you're calling me fat now? Come here!" With that, he tackle/hug/pounced Chaud, knocking them both to the ground. "Let's see if Chaud's ticklish..." Lan said with a mischievous grin. He started trying to tickle random spots, starting naturally with the sides, and found a sensitive spot. "Lan, stop!" They both started laughing uncontrollably, and then Chaud play-pushed Lan off him. They both lay in the grass, trying to catch their breath. A gentle breeze blew through, cooling them off on this hot summer day.

"You still never answered my question, Chaud..." said Lan.

Why on earth does he keep bringing that up? Chaud thought with confusion. "Do you honestly want to go to school that badly, Lan?" Chaud scooched across the grass (A/N: ohmibob! that's a HILARIOUS mental image right there) and ended up next to him. "'Cause if you do, I don't mind."

Lan looked up at the clouds passing. One looked like a fish. It reminded him of Maysa. Changing the subject, he decided to mention it to Chaud. "Hey, doesn't that cloud look like a fish?" He pointed up at the sky.

Chaud sighed one of his classic sighs. (A/N! wtf is a "classic sigh"!) He looked at the sky and saw that it did indeed look like a fish. "It reminds me of Maysa..." Chaud nodded his head in agreement, and struck up what would become over an hour-long conversation that started with fish.

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

Megaman sat on a park bench alone, with the one he had betrayed standing in front of him like a statue. Tears ran down the blue Navi's face, while they filled the red one's eyes.

"Protoman, I-" Megaman began as he looked up, saw the face in front of him, and immediately quieted down. He saw the look on Protoman's face, the same one that Roll had seen earlier: worry, sadness, anger, guilt.

Protoman suddenly flew to his knees, tears rolling down his face. "Megaman, why did you do that? I thought...when you said that...you meant it."

Megaman looked at the ground with horror. What on earth have I done...I've caused my best friend, the one who never breaks down, to cry on his knees...

Tears flew out of his eyes as Megaman got up quickly and hugged Protoman as tight as he could. "I...don't know...what else I could have done...you know she's loved me for so long...I didn't mean...for it to go that far." The pair of Navis just sat there, holding each other, for a good 15 minutes until Megaman pulled Protoman up and said, "We should probably get back to the boys. They might be worried." They looked into each other's eyes, and Megaman found a softness, a sadness in Protoman's that he'd never seen before. It drew him in, and he kissed Protoman right there.

-------M-E-A-N-W-H-I-L-E-------

The boys were now inside. Chaud decided to spend the night at Lan's (not without some heavy arm twisting, of course ), in his bed. Neither one was worried about-ahem! -anything happening over the night, they had agreed they both had enough self-control to prevent that. Lan was fast asleep, while Chaud was lying, staring at the ceiling. He couldn't sleep, and he didn't want to try tossing and turning for fear of waking Lan.

He really does look peaceful when he's asleep, Chaud thought to himself. He looked over his shoulder to check on him for what was probably the 10th time in 30 minutes (), and noticed a single silver tear running down the child's cheek. What's he crying about? Chaud was mildly worried, but he decided to leave it till morning and ask what he dreamed about later. Eventually, Chaud fell asleep, but Lan, for some unknown reason, woke up early (lucky him) and looked over at Chaud.

Sleeping like a baby...he thought silently, cute as one too. His eyes got wide at the thought of that...thought, and he shook it out of his head. Neither of them was really ready to...admit anything yet. He then noticed something, and looked back over at Chaud to see him crying in his sleep. Why's he crying? Lan thought with concern, but decided to let it go and ask about it later.

Both Chaud's and Lan's NetNavis were in their PETs, asleep as well. They had both forgotten the evening's events for a while, which would probably be better for them in the long run.

---------L-A-T-E-R---------

Chaud walked out of Lan's room, yawning, to find Lan already sitting at the table, eating breakfast. He asked Lan groggily, "What're you doing up already...? We're not going to school today..."

Lan looked up at Chaud, and blinked at the sight of him shirtless. "Of-of course we're not, Ch-Chaud...I just..." But Chaud was already walking to the bathroom, ignoring what Lan was saying. Damn...He looked back down at his cereal bowl.

Chaud soon left the bathroom, fully clothed (A/N: damnit! ), and sat on the couch like a couch potato, flicking through the TV channels. Lan approached Chaud and asked, "So, if we're not going to school today, what are we doing?"

Chaud looked up at Lan and said, "I dunno. What do you wanna do?"

"Go to school."

Now he was interested. "But...we're already late, and..."
"Don't care."

Chaud blinked. Why's he suddenly want to go to school? "But then, everyone will be all over you...and-"

"Don't care."

"But they'll be-"

"Don't care."

"They'll be asking about us!"

Now it was Lan's turn to have a revelation. "Now I care."

Chaud looked satisfied. "Thought you would."

Lan plopped down on the couch, unusually close to Chaud (while Chaud blushed a bit from the closeness-Wow, he's warm...), and said, "I never thought about that. After the whole Yai thing yesterday, it completely slipped my mind."

Chaud just then remembered what he had seen in the night.

"Hey, Lan..."
"Yeah." Lan was now bored, taking over the duty of flipping through channels.

"What did you dream about last night?"

"Why do you ask? You were asleep when I woke up. What did you dream about?" Lan thought about what he had seen.

"I asked first."

Lan gave up. "Ok, ok...I...was thinking...about Mom."

Chaud's eyes got big. "Your mom?"

Lan now looked at Chaud sarcastically. "No, Mail's mom. Of course, my mom!"

Chaud shrunk back into his seat. "O-ok..."

Lan leaned into the warm body next to him, not thinking about it, and asked, "Ok, your turn, what did you dream about?"

Chaud's words were less than a whisper. "Us."

"What?"

"Us."

(blink blink) "What do you mean, us?"

Now it was Chaud's turn to look at Lan sarcastically and say, "I mean, us. What are we going to DO about us?"

Lan cocked his head a little and thought for a moment, then turned around, hugged Chaud, and whispered into his ear.

"What do we need to do about us?"

Chaud's mind melted with Lan's whispering, as he said half to himself, "Ya know, I just realized something."

He broke the embrace and kissed Lan passionately on the lips.

"Absolutely nothing."

Awww...how SWEET is that? Very sweet indeed. Like I said earlier, sorry for not updating sooner, my dad is the ultimate evil and DOOM. I'm trying to decide whether to have a NetNavi attack or something...I also need some big earth-shattering event that would somehow separate Lan and Chaud for a while, even if just for a little bit. That way I can have them make out when they get back together. Oo Ehehehe... hope you guys like the mental image I gave you up at the top, ya know the one with Chaud- (giggle, giggle some more)-"scooching"! (bursts out laughing) I just never thought anyone would ever and i mean ever see Chaud "scooching" anywhere! R&R, pretty please?

Survey time! Kahblahm! Ok, I want everyone who reads these words right here-no, right here-, to tell me, in a review, who their favorite character is, what their favorite Lan? pairing is (tell me Lan? but fill in the ? with the person), and the same thing for the Megaman? pairing. if you could also tell me what chappie they liked best, that would be great!

spank you very much!

Chaud- (appears in a cloud of sparkly coolness)

Me- (blushes) I-I mean, th-thank you very much! Yeah, th-thank you. Not spank you.

Chaud- (leaves looking disappointed) Aw...

Me- (blushes again)
