A/N: insert rabid fangirls here squEE! Chapter SEVEN! Oh My GoD! I can't believe I actually have 7 chapters going! …But, I am getting less reviews…(sob)…It's probably 'cuz I haven't updated in a while. That's right…yeeeaaaahhh…Just keep telling yourself that, Natalie…(looks at email and checks my inbox for messages I haven't put in the "fanfic" folder and finds like 6 more reviews or so) Ehehe...ANYwho…so yeah. I like to say ANYwho, as you will see below.

ANYwho…the common cold is the most evil thing in the universe. To combat this evil, we have designed the ultimate weapon: the Hoodie. With its superior softness and undeniably squishy center, the warmth is bound to chase away the cold back to its hideout – or better yet, to infect George W. Bush! (gets bricked by Bush fans XD)

SOOO…on to the reviews that I thought I didn't get but then realized I wasn't looking hard enough for.

Rose Kitsune.EXE: squee! Someone else who agrees with Proto/Mega! I'm not the world's biggest fan of Lan/Raika or Search/Mega, but NEVER! Mega will NEVER be alone! I swear it! (gets bricked by moderators for swearing) And…er... the scooching wasn't supposed to be a pervy image…(thinks about it and comes up with a pervy image)…but if you see it that way, then OKIE DOKIE!

RandomRathFan: That's the same thing I thought when I made that mental image! It's just…Chaud…and scooching…DOES NOT COMPUTE! (computer asplodes from images of Chaud scooching) And that's a good idea about Chaud and a business trip, and since it's the only one I got (no one wrote any! Boo hiss boo) and I can't think of any (curse you writer's block and common cold! Joining forces…weakening me…groan…), I think I'll use it. …just…not in this chappie. See, I already wrote it. ANYwho… I'm not a big fan of Mega/Roll either anymore, so Proto/Mega it is! And to answer your last question…what do you think this is? An update! (gets bricked…I dunno, just for the sake of getting bricked XD)

grandmaster p: …at first you didn't get what? The scooching? That's easy to get! …lol! ANYwho…thanks (kawaii smile) for the praise on the pairings! I'll try to update faster next time! (takes some of grandmaster p's cough syrup that he gave me in the review for my first ever songfic, Tourniquet)

Livi510: you're right…he was nice! (sorry bout the late review, didn't get the e-mail til after chappie 6.) thanks!

Warning to all people who were hoping for a little more plotline – ThiS iS a FiLLeR. I repeat: THIS IS A FILLER! If you were expecting something righteously cool or sad to happen, you might be disappointed. THIS. IS. A. FILLER. And for all you people who get emails when I update, sorry about that, I had to change it a lot.

"SON! Get down here NOW!" came the screeching voice from Chaud's cellphone. (A/N: why he has a celly when he's got a PET, I don't know.)

Chaud held the cell about 12 feet from his ear as his father screamed into the receiver. When he thought it was safe enough to try to respond, he timidly asked, "W-why? W-what did I d-do?"

"JUST GET DOWN HERE NOOOOOOW!"

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

Grooooaann…

Lan sat in his computer chair (A/N: hey that's where I am! XD!), watching some stupid music video. It was in Russian, too, so he didn't understand a word of it.

Oooohhhh…my head…such a headache. Maybe I shouldn't spend so much time sitting in a dark room watching a big bright screen.

He got up, turned the light on, and tried to continue the pointless watching.

Oooowwww…now my whole body hurts. What's going on?

He began coughing a little bit, but he just assumed he was catching a bit of a cold from being outside so much. (A/N: poor Lan…NOT! No sympathy for poor author…sob)

Cough, cough, cough.

Ugh…can't get sick. Why would I get sick now? What did I do?

Cough, cough-cough-cough, cough.

The coughing began to get worse with each breath. He decided to go to the medicine cabinet and take something to stop it. When Lan got up, though, he felt dizzy. The room seemed to spin around him.

…Wha…? Maybe I've got the flu…in that case, better tell Chaud to stay home. Don't want him getting…

He began to feel faint. Like…he didn't know what it was like. His whole brain was fuzzy.

A wisp of blue smoke blew in from the door, and Lan suddenly had a realization.

Tha…smoke…not…norma……got…call…Chau……

No more thoughts entered his mind as he fell unconscious, and a blue haze filled the room, and eventually the house.

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

Sigh. "What is it now, Father?"

"DON'T YOU DARE take that tone of voice with ME, young MAN! I AM your FATHER!"

Siiiigh. "I know that, Father. What did you call me down for?"

Chaud's father stood up from his desk and looked at Chaud. "You are to go on a trip, leaving two days from now."

(A/N: if you've ever read manga, or watched anime, you know that white backgroundy thingy that happens when the character has a shock-y face? This is the perfect time for that.) "T..two days from now…?"

Sigh. "Yes. Two days from now. I would have rather had you leave today, so you can get on with your business, but I suppose Thursday will have to do…" Blaze Sr. sat back down in his fancy comfy business chair and resumed his paperwork. "That's all. Now go."

Blink, blink. "Yes...Father." I should go tell Lan…

But when Chaud arrived at the Hikari house and say blue smoke erupting from the windows, only one thought filled Chaud's mind. Laaaaaaannnn!

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

Megaman and Protoman were both in sleep mode, unaware of the current situation. Megaman's eyes flickered open, but when he looked out through the screen, all he saw was blue.

Groooann…Lan, why'd you have to throw your shirt at the PET again!

But as the smoke started to clear, so did Megaman's vision, and he did not like what he saw.

"Lan…LAN! Get up! Lan…" His cries were futile. Lan was not awakening. Megaman quickly linked into Chaud's PET and was surprised to find Chaud right in front of the house.

"Chaud…?"

Chaud looked at his PET and saw Megaman. "Megaman…what are you doing? Where's Lan? Is he alright!"

Megaman looked worried. "No! All I could see was blue at first, but then when the smoke cleared, Lan was unconscious!" He looked back at the house. "What do you think happened?"

Chaud looked around, and saw nobody near. "We have to call an ambulance. Hurry!" Megaman wasted no time in calling for help, while Chaud debated whether to go in or not.

If it was the smoke that made him faint, why wouldn't it do the same to me? But if it wasn't, and I don't go in there, he may never get out! Oooohhhhhh…I've got to take the risk!

"I'm coming, Lan!" "Chaud, no!"

Oooohhhhh…wha…happen…?

Cough-cough-cough.

Aw…great…still…coughing…

Lan sat up in what he next realized was a hospital bed.

"Groooaaannn…what - cough-cough-cough - happened?"

The nurse attending to the brunette peered through the door. "Ah. You're awake. Good." She then walked in to give Lan some medicine for his cough. (A/N: hey gimme summa dat cough-cough)

Lan leaned into his pillow and looked around. This was the Dentech City General Hospital, alright. But where was…

"Chaud!" came the outburst.

"Hm?" The nurse was just walking out of Lan's room. "What was that?"

"Chaud! Where is he?" Lan was now upright again, with a fierce fire in his eyes. "I need to find him!"

"Ooohhh, you mean the black-and-white haired boy? He's in the ER." Sigh. "He didn't turn out as well as you did…"

(A/N: another one of those white shock-y face-y thingys would be perfect right here.) "W…what do you-you mean, he "didn't turn out as well?" He's gonna be ok, right?" Lan struggled to get out of bed, but found he was semi-tangled in the sheets. "Urg…arrg…let - cough-cough - go!" The nurse gasped and went to calm the boy down! "No! You must rest! You're not in any condition to go running around!" A sweet look appeared on her face. "Your friend will be fine. He's in the hands of the best doctors in Dentech. Trust me." A twinkle in her eye.

That was all Lan needed to convince him, that and the cough syrup making him sleepy again. "Sigh…o…ok…" He lay down on the pillow and allowed the nurse to pull a light blanket over him.

"That's right…just rest. You'll both be better soon."

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

Rock, rock. The fetal position was oddly comforting.

Rock, rock, rock. Somehow…soothing.

Rock, ro- Something stopped Megaman from his current habit. It was a tall, red, sword-wielding Navi.

"Protoman…? What..what are you doing here?"

Protoman sat down next to Megaman, legs crossed, and put his arm around him. Is he…shivering? "Comforting you."

Megaman looked away, his face shadowed.

"I don't deserve to be comforted…"

Protoman blinked without missing a beat. "Sure you do. You deserve to be comforted most of all."

"No I don't."

Sigh. "I'm not going to argue with you, Megaman. You're starting…" Blink.

Megaman finally looked up into Protoman's visor, only to find that it was gone, and he was looking into Protoman's dark brown eyes. Blink, blink. (A/N: For the purposes of this fic, he has a retractable visor. A-and brown eyes. Squee!)

"I-I'm starting t-to what?" Megaman was stuttering because he had never really seen Protoman's eyes before.

"You're starting…you're starting to enchant me."

-SmmmmmACK!- (A/N: and that was a kissing smack, not a slapping smack.)

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

BEWARE THE FLUFF! (throws ball of fluff at readers) I had a lot of trouble with the last sentence that Protoman spoke, I first tried "entrance", then "enchant", then "mesmerize" (which was too long), so then I just went back to "enchant". It's so fluffy!

ANYwho…as I warned before, as you should have READ, this was just a filler. Repeat after me: Fill-er. You people should be happy that I updated at all!

Lan: Hey! You made me faint! In blue smoke! I hate blue!

Chaud: Yeah, and what makes you think I would risk my health (life --;) to save him?

…Methinks the lover dost protesteth too much.

Chaud: -blink blink-

Lan: -blink blink-

Megaman: -fetal position-

Protoman: Sigh. R&R, folks, since these dimwits aren't going to say it. Tell the author how you like it!

…Ehehehehehhh…and, um, er, Proto…about the whole "enchant" thing…

Protoman: -growl-

AAAH! (runs away, taking smexi Chaud with me)

Lan: Heyy!
