"Maylu? Maylu!" Roll cried, watching as a masked figure drug the motionless Maylu away. She quickly got herself off of her homepage, knowing what the kidnapper would do next. She had seen the crime and she'd probably be next.

"I have to get off this computer now!" Roll got to the Net as quickly as she could watching her portal closing as soon as she got out of it. She stepped onto the empty panel almost expecting it to take her back to her home. Almost.

"Well now I'm stuck on the Net with nothing but my installed buster. I hope this is enough." She sat beside her portal thoughtfully, lying on her back. The cyber sky above her was a shade of blue that reminded her of someone she knew....

"MEGA!! He can help!" Roll got up and input an address into her antennas. Before she knew it, she was on her way to Megaman and Lan's homepage, a mental map in her head. She ran as fast as she could because she knew Maylu would need help as soon as possible.

At Lan's House

"Lan, it's time for you to go to bed. Your mom told me to send you to be an hour early today since you guys have a field trip tomorrow." Megaman said, sitting on the blue ground of his homepage. His bed was behind him but she was currently sitting on the floor.

"Now?"

"Yeah Lan, now. Mom will have a fit if you don't go to sleep when she says."

"I know, but I'm not tired yet."

"Just try to be." Lan nodded and got in his bed, already having his pajamas on,"Megaman, don't turn out the lights yet, okay? I just want to sit for a little bit."

"Ok." The room then went into a comfortable silence as Megaman watched Lan, waiting until he was asleep to turn off the light. Suddenly there was a loud beep and his homepage started to flash red. The red lights began to go on and off signaling an alarm in Megaman's head. He looked around him, knowing what that noise meant.

"Lan, a navi is trying to download itself to our homepage."

"Why is it trying to download itself?"

"I don't know, but whoever it is they've broken the fire-wall. I don't know what this navi wants, but it's gonna stop here." Megaman stood up changing his hand into a buster and waiting. As soon as the light faded, Megaman held his buster in front of the navis face

"What are you doing trying to get on my computer?!" Megaman said, preparing to fire.

"WAIT!! DON'T SHOOT!! IT'S ME!!" Roll screamed, hoping he heard her.

"Roll?" The buster was lowered and Roll gave a sigh of relief before she burst into tears.

"Megaman, what happened? What's Roll there for? And why she crying?" Lan asked, sitting in his computer chair.

"I was just about to ask her the same thing. Roll, what's the matter?" Megaman got on his knees in front of her. She gave a cry and flung herself into his arms, speaking a quiet gibberish that no one could understand. The two boys were lost on what to do for the female navi, but both stayed where they were until she finally began to quiet down.

"Now, can you tell us what happened? Where's Maylu and how come you were downloading yourself onto my computer?" Lan was starting to get worried and he wanted answers as soon as he could get them.

"Maylu...is...She's gone!! I don't know where she is, but I saw someone take her! I saw them put something over her nose and then she passed out and then...!" Roll broke into tears again, stopping her explanation.

"Roll...Calm down." Megaman said, quietly to her. Roll nodded and her tears slowed, but they still were there.

"I'm trying to..."

"Can you tell us who it was? Did you see them?"

"No. I know it's a male, but I don't know if it's a boy or a man or what. I just know Maylu's gone and now I don't have an operator or a home." Roll looked down sadly, still sad about her Net Op going missing.

"You can always stay with us! Right, Lan?"

"Exactly! I promised Maylu when she got you that if anything happened to her, I would take care of you. And I'm keeping me promise." Lan said, confidently.

"Really?" Roll said, her teary eyes looking a little hopeful.

"Yeah. I'd love to have a room mate." Megaman replied, fighting off the blush that was forming on his cheeks. He was trying to contain his happiness. Roll would be living with him until they food Maylu. 'Oh wait...I almost forgot about Maylu...'

"Lan, what are we going to do about Maylu?" Megaman asked, watching Roll. Her bottom lip was beginning to tremble at the mention of her Net Op's name. He could tell Roll was also trying her hardest not to cry anymore, but was doing a horrible job as a few more tears managed to slip down her face.

"I don't know. Her parents will find out tomorrow and think that Roll was taken as well. Do we want them to think you were taken too, Roll?"

"N-no. I want Mom and Dad to know I'm fine and still alive. But I should have gone with her! I shouldn't have ran like I did." Roll was starting to become mad at herself, as she thought about what she had done to Maylu. She had betrayed her! She had betrayed her best friend.

"Yes, you should have. Roll, I'm glad you got away from that kidnapper. I wouldn't know what I'd do if he had done something to you." Megaman said, trying to calm her down, since she was doing a horrible job at it by herself.

"No I shouldn't have! Mega, I betrayed her!! For all I know, I could have left her to die at the hands of a man neither of us knows!" The silence that fell upon the room after Roll's statement was earth-shattering. As more tears fell from Roll's eyes, it seemed that everyone in the room could hear it. Every liquid drop that hit the cyber floor seemed to echo off the walls.

"She's right, Megaman. She's completely right." Lan sat down on his bed, his eyes staring at the wall as if he was in a trance. The fact that Maylu, his best friend since he was little, could be killed...It was starting to overwhelm him.

"She's right, but so what? I don't think the guy that kidnapped her would take such drastic measures. He'd have no reason for it." Megaman said, looking between the two. He tried to reassure them, but the looks on their faces told him otherwise. He tried to catch Roll's eyes to help him convince Lan that Maylu would be fine, but Roll seemed to be in her own little world as well.

"Lan, try to get some sleep. We'll talk to Maylu's parents and Mom tomorrow." Lan nodded, but didn't say anything. Wordlessly, he laid in his bed, turning and facing the wall. He when Megaman saw that his breathing pattern became more even about an hour and a half later, Megaman turned out the lights in the room. Having dealt with Lan for the time being, Megaman set to helping Roll. She was still staring off into space, as if she saw nothing, but the patch of floor she had been staring at for the past hour.

"Roll, where's Rush?" Roll looked up, blinking at Megaman. Finally, when she realized he had asked her a question, she turned to face him.

"Where's Rush?"

"Ummmmmmm....He's sleeping in the corner by the window." Megaman looked surprised.

"How long has he been there?"

"Since I downloaded myself to your computer."

"I still don't understand how you did it."

"I hacked into your firewall and got the code. I knew you wouldn't mind as soon as you found out it was me, so I did it. Then when I finally got to your homepage, you tried to shoot me." Roll said, smirking slightly.

"I'm sorry for that, by the way. If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have done it. You know that." Megaman said, sitting down beside Roll.

"I know. I'm glad you waited until you know who it was before you shot."

"I am too. Then I would be without a best friend."

"A best friend, huh? Is that all?" Roll asked, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

"Is that all it's supposed to be?" Megaman replied, his eyes giving off a mischievous sparkle as well. Roll grinned at him.

The Next Morning

"Megaman, what are we gonna do about Maylu?" Lan asked, watching his navi sit beside the still sleeping Roll. It seemed all of the crying she had done the night before had left the little pink navi exhausted, which meant she would be sleeping for about an hour longer. Megaman stared at her calm face, watching her even breathing.

"I dunno. We should tell her parents as soon as Roll gets up. They need to know everything. Just like we do." Megaman whispered, lifting a hand. He seemed indecisive, but decided to lay his hand on the top of her helmet. He took it off of her head gently, making sure she didn't wake up. The beautiful golden blonde hair that came from the pink helmet lying on the ground was one of the most beautiful things Megaman had ever seen. Lan was surprised at the boldness his navi was showing toward his female best friend, but he knew if he was ever stuck in a room with Maylu and she was asleep....

Lan stopped himself before his mind went any further; Maylu was missing and he wasn't going to let his feelings get in the way.

"Megaman?" Lan watched his navi take Roll's braid out, running his fingers through her bright golden locks.

"Lan, I promised her, when we became friends. I promised her that I wouldn't fall in love with her so that it wouldn't get in the way of our friendship. But now, I can't help it. I love her so much it hurts me, Lan. Everytime I see her my heart stops and I don't know what to say or do." Megaman said quietly, looking down at his sad angel. He stared at Roll's face, watching her mouth part slightly as she exhaled. Lan watched as tears slid down Roll's cheeks, thinking the navi was crying in her sleep.

"Megaman..." Lan started to say, but couldn't find any words of comfort for his navi.

"I know I'm not supposed to, but I do...and it's killing me see to her like this. I've never seen Roll cry before in my life and to have her this way..." Megaman looked up from his angel's face to look at his Net Op. Lan knew then that the tears on Roll's cheeks were not her own. Megaman's distress and pure sadness was written all over his face. It really was tearing him apart to see Roll the way she was, being angry with herself because she didn't stay with Maylu.

"Megaman, you need to tell her this. You need to tell her how you feel and soon. Don't hold this in or you'll end up wondering everyday if you lost your chance. Like me..." Lan sat down in his chair with a sigh, watching his navi continue to stroke the blonde navi's hair tenderly.

"I won't ever end up like that. But as soon as Maylu is safe, I'll tell her. I'll tell Roll how I feel about her." Megaman continued his soft caress of the navi's bright golden blonde hair, staring off into space.

"Deal." Lan nodded at the computer screen, knowing Megaman would hold up his promise.
