/Did the gas take him down/
(No, he seems to have been saved by a young friend of his.)
/What about their mother/
(Both seem to have forgotten for the time being.)
/How did he first react to the news/
(He was upset a great deal, ma'am.)
/Good…remind him of what happened. Tell him how, if need be. Let him suffer… /
(Affirmative. I wish you a speedy recovery, Madam Megami.)
/Don't we all… /
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you very much for taking me out, Lan…" Sayuri said with a blush.
"Yes, it was too kind of you both." Sapphire chimed in.
"It was no trouble at all, ladies." Lan now had a smug grin on his face while Megaman sweatdropped. Always the ladies man…
(A/N: insert lightbulb over Sayuri's head) "I must repay you. Do you like bowling?"
Lan snapped out of his (most likely perverted) daydream to blink at Sayuri "Yeah, why?"
Sayuri grabbed his hand and pulled him alongside her scooter. "Good, 'cause we're going bowling together."(A/N: I'm sorry! I couldn't think of anything else!)
-------L-A-T-E-R-------
Crash…"Woohoo! Another strike for me! WOOO!"
Sayuri pumped her fists into the air, and Lan just sat on his chair with a semi-sad look on his face. "You never told me you were so good at bowling…" Grumble, grumble…Sayuri saw that expression and skipped over to Lan. "I'm sorry…I can stop if you want!"
Lan looked up at the shining face above him. "Uh…no, that's ok! I can do better!" He then proceeded to roll a clear and true gutterball.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Someone is seriously getting fired when we get back to the main building…"
Chaud was now stomping around his hospital room in a fury. Apparently, the person who normally drove his limo decided to take a little holiday due to Master Chaud's sudden absence. Protoman knew that if he said anything, he would most likely just get stomped on as well, so he held his tongue.
"Damnit! Why didn't I see this before! I knew the person who tried to take Lan down would have come back for more!"
Protoman made a little "eep…" noise at Chaud's sudden outburst. "Er…Chaud-sama…"
Chaud now turned his rage on Protoman. "What is it?"
"I have…er, I have news for you, Chaud-sama. About Lan and Megaman…"
Now Chaud took a genuine interest. "What? What on earth is it? Tell me!"
Protoman looked over the information he had found and tried to phrase it well.
"…They're at the bowling alley."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lan sighed once more and looked at the scoreboard above him just to prove that he was sucking that badly. Sayuri's row was full of: X X X X X X X X X, and Lan's row was full of: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
He whined a little in his head and buried his face in his arms until Megaman started yelling at him. "We have an email from Dad…he wants us at home…"
Lan looked at his PET with a confused look on his face.
(You don't know how hard it is for me to go back to using the dub names again…)
"At home?…Ok…" He then pushed himself out of his chair and walked over to Sayuri, who was just preparing for yet another likely strike.
"Uh, Sayuri, we…" "Shhh!"
Lan stepped back and held his tongue as he watched the girl roll, again, a perfect strike, thus making her score perfect as well. "Didja learn anything just then?"
"Huh? Uh, no, I wasn't watching…Um, Sayuri, we kind of need to go…"
Sayuri now looked at them with a pout. "Aww, I was just starting to…" She gestured wildly to the ball that was popping back out at her.
Lan put his finger on her lips and hushed her, receiving a blank stare and blinking from her.
"We need to leave. I'm sorry…I'll make up for it, I promise."
He then turned and left Sayuri there, as well as his PET, with Megaman yelling at him until he walked out the door unhearing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chaud sprinted in the general direction of the bowling alley, panting slightly; he was not used to having to run because his limo usually took him everywhere. (What a lazy bum.) The large building was just coming into sight when he saw an orange, white, and black figure walk out, then begin rolling away on blades. Lan!
Chaud tried to run faster but found he couldn't catch up with Lan when he clearly had the advantage of wheels. Damn…
Protoman took the advantage of Chaud stopping to chime in. "You might consider checking inside the building, Chaud-sama…" "That's a good idea. I'll do that." And with that, he walked toward the doors, only to be hit in the face when a rather rude young Lan-look-alike pushed through the doors, holding two blue PETs.
"Laaaaaaannnn! You…" The girl sighed loudly and pushed away down the same street Lan had left on, only on a scooter instead of skates.
"Chaud-sama…" Chaud was still seeing stars from the impact the door had made, and was only brought back to his senses when Protoman persisted. "Chaud-sama!" Chaud groaned and blinked. "Uh…wha..?"
Protoman grinned smugly and pointed to a blurry black object on the road. "Your ride's here."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Paaaaaapa…Where are you?" Lan skated around his house, searching for Yuuichiro. He was nowhere to be found.
A loud horn jerked his attention to the front door. Lan turned around and saw Chaud waving to his driver, presumably telling him to get the hell out and make sure he's at the office on time so he can get fired. Then Chaud turned around and saw Lan, then ran into his arms. Lan was pushed back and nearly fell into his couch, but accepted the glomp nevertheless. "Chaud…what's gotten into you!" But Chaud paid no attention and instead started kissing Lan right in front of the wide open door. Lucky for them, Sayuri had just finished following Lan home to return his PET, when he saw the duo making out on the couch. She cleared her throat uncomfortably. "Um…" Chaud and Lan looked up in unison and saw the Lan-twin standing there with wide eyes. Chaud got up and walked up to her, examining her, which Sayuri did in kind. They each just stood in place, until Chaud growled in a low voice, "You…" Then he raised his hand and slapped her. Lan gasped and got up, while Sayuri shrieked and recoiled. Then her face changed into that of utmost horror and shock, and she ran out screaming, donning her scooter and rolling away in frenzy. Chaud now turned his furious gaze on Lan, but that changed as soon as he saw his expression: disappointment. "I can't believe you, Chaud…" Lan pushed by Chaud as if he were a rotating door, and ran out into the woods behind his house. Chaud simply stood in a house he didn't belong in anymore, the wind blowing his hair as it had Sayuri's, and a single silver tear rolled down his cheek as he thought of the terrible thing he had just done.
And I thought I was protecting him…
