About half a week later, Mayl came home. Lan gave her open arms. She cried that whole day. Lan stayed by her side the whole time. He tried to cheer her up, but no luck. The next day, her took her out to dinner. That made her happy, as Lan ussally never does that. He walked her home.
"Mayl… I know how ward this is on you…."
"… I know Lan…"
"You should know, I'm always here for you. ALWAYS."
He came up and gave her a big kiss.
"Thanks Lan."
She kissed him back.
"I hope I never lose you…"
Inside Mayl's house, you could hear her parents yelling at each other.
"My folks are still fighting… I want you to promise me something…"
"Yeah?"
"Promise me we'll never fight. Fighting leads to bad things, take my parents. I don't want to hurt the ones I love… Espccilly not you…"
"I promise."
She smiled, and she gave him a kiss, and she went inside.
The next day, a knock on Lan's door was heard. Lan opened.
"Hello, your Lan Hikari, right?"
"Yes, can I help you?"
"Well… I start school, and I heard you're the best Virus buster around… I thought you can help me."
"I don't see why not. Come on in."
She came in, and he closed the door. Mayl was there too.
"Who's this Lan?"
"This is… uh… I don't have your name…."
"Rose. Rose Josbell."
"Well Ms. Rose, lets get started."
They Jacked into Lan's Hollowseum. Since Lan lost Megaman, he had to use Axl. Rose searched through her purse.
"Oh shoot, I left my PET at home. Can I borrow one?"
"Here, borrow him."
He handed her a PET containing X. He started teaching basics, like chip codes, Chip combos, ETC. Mayl sat there, watching. She may have gotten a small bit jelous, but she knew he was just teaching her. Around 5, Lan had finished his lesson to her.
"Thank you very much Mr. Hikari. Still.."
"What?"
"It's not enough to pass me…."
Mayl scoffed. The girl was covering it up obvisously. She hit the bulls-eye of a target exactly in it's eye on her 14 shot.
"I can teach you some more, if you want."
"Sure, does tomorrow sound good?"
"Let me check."
He turned to Mayl.
"Is that ok?"
"Yeah. Go ahead."
She lied. She really wanted to be with Lan tomorrow. She burned with pain when she said that. The girl left. Mayl smiled. She went over to Lan.
"Oh Lan…"
"Yes Mayl?"
She started playing with his hair.
"Want to do something fun tonight?"
"… What kind of fun? …"
Lan became a bit scared.
"This…"
She gave him a big kiss. He turned into a beet.
"Lets go out…"
"Where?"
"Here…"
She showed Lan a pamplet. It was for the new fair, featuring the tunnel of love.
"Yeah, sure!"
"Well let me get ready."
"Ok, see you tomorrow then." Snickered Lan.
Lan got hit upside the head.
After she got ready (She wore a skirt, a tank top and some make-up), They headed out. Of course Mayl wanted to go on the Tunnel of Love first. They got in, and what happened in there is they're little secret. They went on a few rides, then they headed to get some food. They got Funnel cake. Lan had to go to the bathroom, so Mayl was left alone. A group of guys headed up to Mayl.
"Hey sweet cheeks, what are you doing here alone?"
Mayl scoffed.
"I'm waiting for someone."
"I see you waited for me. How sweet…"
He sat next to her.
"Fly off, you annoying bug."
"Oh come on, you really don't want me to leave."
"Oh, YES I DO."
He scooted towards her. She lent back.
"Come on, give Rox a kiss."
"Get out of my face!"
She tried kicking him away, but the other boys held her down.
"Let me go!"
"I'm not gonna hurt you sweet cheeks, just show you some respect. It's not gonna hurt…"
"But this will."
He turned around.
"Who's gonna stop me?"
"Her boyfriend."
Lan socked the guy right in the face.
"Get him boys!"
The other boys, around 3 of them, surrounded Lan. Lan brought his fists up.
"Lan please!"
"Mayl, no one's gonna hurt you. Besides, I'm not gonna hurt you."
"That's what he said…"
"…"
Lan put his fists down.
"What? Is the boy chicken?"
Usally, Lan would not take a comment like that. But he wanted to live up to Mayl's wishes. The boy grabbed Mayl.
"Lan, help!"
"It's not gonna hurt, what I'm gonna do to you."
"MAYL!"
One of the boys punched Lan.
"Gah!"
Lan put his fists up. He punched one of the guys. They got back up. Mayl was getting thrown into a truck. Lan got really mad now.
"SOCK!"
A boy fell. Lan turned around.
"Lan, go save Mayl!"
"Right Rob!"
Lan ran off, while Rob fought off the boys.
