Jazzerman here, I do not own any of these characters, they are owned by their respected companies, blah, blah, blah. You've heard this crap before. I DO own Jonny Wily. If you'd like to use him in a fic, just tell me.

But I do own this story.

A Wily tale, the beginning.

Part 5

Jonny awoke in the late morning due to a loud rumbling coming from his stomach. He sat up in his cardboard home and sighed. He had been so grateful to that waitress for spotting him the extra quarter for a hot dog the night before... But now he was wishing he had waited until morning to get something to eat.

He walked out of the alley and past the bakery. Jonny let out a pained whine as he passed the window, noticing the numerous freshly baked cakes, pastries, and bread. The aroma that drifted from the door as someone would go in or out of the bakery was almost torturous to the young boy who hadn't eaten.

Jonny was about to leave to find a way to scrounge for some money when he heard someone come out.

"Hiya."

Jonny turned around to see someone he had never thought in a million years he'd get the privilege to meet. In front of him stood Mega man, Jonny and just about everyone else in the world knew who he was. Mega had saved both the city and the world many times from some mad man. Jonny then noticed that a small girl behind Mega man. She was about Mega man's size and appearance in age. She had blonde hair that was tied up in a pony tail and she was wearing a red and white dress. He had heard a lot of the girls back in school mention that Mega man had a sister but he never paid too much attention about that. But the only thing Jonny thought was important at present was the large brown paper bag full of food Roll was carrying.

Jonny looked away from Mega man. He had dreamed about meeting the blue bomber ever since he could remember. Jonny hated the idea that his idol had to see him like THIS. Dressed like he was and hungry enough to beg for any tiny scrap of food he could get.

Roll just smiled and reached into the grocery bag. The rustle of the brown paper bag got the hungry young lad's attention in a heartbeat.

Jonny almost drooled at the sight of the loaf of bread Roll produced. Which only proved to the boy just how hungry he was. He had always thought of plain white bread as tasteless white fluff that wasn't very appetizing without something between two slices of the stuff.

Roll smiled and walked up to Jonny, holding out the loaf of bread out to him. "Take it."

Jonny looked at the loaf of bread then back at Roll. But after seeing the kind look on her face he knew she really meant it.

"Thanks a lot." Jonny looked down at the gift Roll had given him and devoured half of it in only a few seconds.

"Dr. Light sends us here for food every day or so. Care to meet us here tomorrow?"

Jonny blinked in surprise. He wasn't going to pass up the chance to meet Mega man everyday. "Sure. My name's Jonny."

Mega man nodded. He was about to say 'I know' but he realized that might hurt their relationship if Jonny knew that Dr. Light wanted him to come home with them. Instead Mega man simply introduced himself and his sister.

"I know who you are." Jonny said, still grinning from the satisfaction that his stomach was no longer troubling him. "I always wanted to meet you."

Mega man laughed mentally, he would never admit it but he always loved having young fans like Jonny. It made him feel like he had been doing a good job.

"It's nice to meet you too Jonny." Mega man held out his hand which Jonny quickly shook while holding the loaf of bread tightly in the other hand. Clearly having no intention of relinquishing his only supply of food for the day.

Roll smiled at how much her brother and this young human where getting along but she knew they had be going. "We don't want to keep Dr. Light waiting at home."

Mega man sighed and looked at Jonny. "See here tomorrow?"

Jonny hurriedly agreed and waved as the two robots walked down the street and around the corner.

Jonny took another bite of the loaf of bread and walked back to the alley where he could eat without being disturbed. He may not have had anyone else to talk to but the idea that THE Mega man seemed to like him cheered him up considerably. He sat back in the box and quietly chewed his on his mouthful of bread.

Dr. Light looked out from his lab as he heard the door close. "How was your trip?"

Roll set the bag on the kitchen table and looked at her creator. "We saw Jonathan at the bakery this morning Doctor. I hope you don't mind that we're a loaf of bread short this time."

Dr. Light shook his head as he gave his 'daughter' reassuring smile. "Not at all. If he's out there on his own I don't want him to be starving. And I don't want him to be dragged kicking and screaming back here. Just invite him to come for a visit next time."

Roll and Mega man nodded.

"We'll do that Dr. Light." Mega man said.

Dr. Light was about to return to his lab when he noticed the troubled look on Roll's face caught his attention.

"Is something wrong Roll?" Dr. Light asked.

"It's nothing..." The little girl said. But her drawn out tone only confirmed what Dr. Light had expected.

"Now Roll, I can tell when something's bothering you." The bearded scientist said as he put a hand on Roll's shoulder. "You can tell me."

Roll took a deep breath before facing her creator. Figuring it was better to just come out and say it than have to just keep it to herself. "I feel kinda bad about having this house when Jonny's out there all by himself."

"You certainly are a sweet little girl Roll." Dr. Light was proud that his daughter was thinking about someone else's needs over her own. It was a sign of character. "I met the lad's parents once before all of this. If he's anything like his father he's resourceful, he'll figure something out. His father said that he actually jury rigged a fuse in his robot dog's leg when he was only four. I'm not that worried about him. But I do wish he'd come to stay here."

Mega man cocked his head to the side. "Why have you taken such an interest in Jonathan Wily doctor?"

Dr. Light held up a small file containing a multitude of papers. "Because my boy, according to these papers I got from his school... He's gifted. And such a thing should not be wasted."
