"Lan, wake up...You need to go to school, Lan." Dr. Hikari shook his son awake. Lan woke up abruptly, nearly giving his father a heart-attack in the process.

"Huh? What? Oh Dad...It's just you...You scared me for a second..." Lan looked around, "I'm still at Sci-Lab?"

"Lan, you don't remember falling asleep here?"

"Oh yeah! That's right!" Lan looked down at the PET in his lap and found Megaman wide awake, still staring at Roll, "Megaman, did you sleep?"

"A little...I woke up around two a.m. last night, then went back to sleep and woke up again at four a.m." Megaman said quietly, not even turning to look at Lan.

"Megaman, you need to rest."

"Lan, I don't want to rest. I need to stay up in case Roll wakes up today."

"Megaman, Roll might not wake up for another two weeks, and you won't help her any if you're so tired you fall asleep on your feet." Dr. Hikari told him, moving so that Megaman could see his face. He gave the navi a stern look to his back and Megaman finally turned.

"You really think so, Dad?"

"I know so. Megaman, you need your rest."

"And we have to go to school." Lan interjected, hoping that would get Megaman to break out of his depression for a little while.

"Lan, I am not going to school." Megaman answered, shaking his head. He wasn't going to leave Roll unprotected; not again.

"Megaman! But you have to go! What happens if-?"

"I promise I'll go to sleep if you let me stay here."

"Dad, can he-?"

"His sleep is needed more than anything else. Lan, let him stay." Dr. Hikari smiled at his son, knowing he wouldn't be too happy about Megaman's decision.

"..." Lan gave a sigh, but nodded his head, "Fine. Megaman, you can stay. Just...be careful, okay?"

Megaman nodded, but didn't say anything, continuing to gaze at Roll. Dr. Hikari nodded and led his son out of the room, making sure that he left his PET there as well.

"Lan, don't worry, he'll be fine here. I promise I'll have someone in here every thirty minutes checking on all three of them. Will that help you feel better?"

Lan slowly nodded and walked toward the door.

"Oh and Lan?"

Lan looked up, turning to face his dad.

"Cheer up, son. I'll make sure they all stay safe. Plus, when you're out of school, you can come directly back here." Dr. Hikari grinned and watched as Lan's face lit up brighter.

"You betcha, Dad! I'll see you guys later!" Lan ran out of the door, heading down the sidewalk. He stopped at a crosswalk to slip his rollerblades on, then bladed to school.

Two Hours Later

"Uhhhnnnnnnn..." Roll blinked, opening her eyes slowly. The liquid slowly fell into her view and she breathed, almost inhaling the liquid. Roll coughed and the liquid began to drain out of the chamber. She felt her body fall to the floor and she leaned back against the glass chamber.

"W-Where am I?"

Roll looked around her, trying not to move all that much. She hurt all over, but she was fine; she knew that much. She turned her head slightly and there, with the top of his head against the glass, laid Megaman, sleeping so soundly Roll highly doubt that she could wake him up without hurting herself even more in the process. But she would try anyway.

"Megaman...Megaman, wake up." Roll tried to move herself to stand up straight, but her body wasn't working with her. "Megaman! Megaman, wake up! I...I need your help." Roll slumped against the front of the glass and lifted her foot to kick the spot where the top of Megaman's head rested. "MEGA!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Megaman lifted his head and rubbed his eyes, then gave a huge yawn and finally his eyes focused on the pink boot in front of him face. "Roll? Roll! You're awake!" Megaman jumped up quickly, moving from his chair to the glass in less then two seconds. He held his hand on the glass, wondering how he would get her out of the chamber.

"Hey Mega." Roll gave him a lazy, tired smile, but he knew she was happy to see him. "How are you, Mega?"

"The better question is how are you, Roll?" Megaman walked around the chamber slowly, searching for a way to get her out.

"I'm...tired...But Mega..." Roll's eyes followed Megaman slowly until he was standing behind her, "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find a way to get you out. There's no point in making you stand when I have a chair you can sit in."

"I'll sit in here."

"No, you're going to sit in the chair." Megaman tapped a part of the glass and the door slid open, releasing a torrent of air before Roll could get out. She shook her hair slowly, while Megaman helped her to sit down in the chair.

"Mega...Thank you."

"You're welcome, Roll."

Roll smiled, and leaned back against the head rest of the chair. Megaman sat on the floor beside her legs and then leaned his head in her lap.

"Mega, go to sleep."

"I...yawn have to protect yawn you..." Megaman said, trying to hide his yawns.

"Then I'll wake you up. Go to sleep Mega, you look like you haven't sleep in days."

"Roll..."

"Go Megaman..."

"Megaman?"

"I meant what I said...When we fought..."

Roll heard a soft snore come from Megaman and smiled; she knew he must've been very tired.

At Three P.M.

"Megaman is still sleeping?" Dr. Hikari had gone in to check on his son's Netnavi, but found Maylu's wide awake. Roll was sitting in the chair as still as she could, staring off into space, but running her hand through Megaman's exposed hair. He was breathing gently and evenly, making Dr. Hikari aware that the navi was sleeping.

"Yeah. I guess he was really tired."

"He stayed up and watched you."

Roll's eyes widened; she figured Megaman had stayed up, but until she woke up? She didn't think he would do that, "He did?"

"Yes, the entire time you were out. Since the day you two fought he stayed up and watched you."

"Oh...Mega...Thank you." Roll gave his head a gentle pat, and then went back to staring off into space. What Dr. Hikari said to her meant a lot; it proved that what Megaman said was true.

'He really does love me!' The realization struck Roll and she was left nearly speechless.

"Roll?"

"Yes Dr. Hikari?"

"Watch out for him, Roll. He'll need you...When the time comes."

"Yes sir...With every part of my being..." Roll nodded and then began to drift off to sleep.

Thirty Minutes Later

"Maylu still hasn't woken up?" Lan cried, leaning against the glass. He watched as Maylu took a deep breath and released it. She was still breathing fine, but she just wasn't awake.

"No, but Roll did." Dr. Hikari commented, leaning on the glass with his son.

"Hiya Lan!" Roll felt a lot better after she took a thirty minute nap. Megaman was sitting up now, having sleep for about five or six hours, he felt a lot better,

"Roll! You're awake!" Lan grinned at the two navis in the computer screen after he entered Maylu's hospital room.

"Yup! And I'm here for any help and research! So if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"I have a lot of questions, but I want yours and Maylu's answers. So we'll just wait until she wakes up."

"Okay."

"Well...I guess I'll do my homework and let you two do whatever you were doing before I got here."

Roll grinned,"Yay! That means I can go back to sleep."

"Me too." Megaman smiled, and leaned his head against Roll's leg, closing his eyes and drifting off almost instantly. Roll was slower to fall asleep, but in five minutes she was asleep too.

"If I didn't like Roll so much, Megaman would be in trouble." Dr. Hikari said, grinning at Lan. He nodded and laughed, then began to take books out of his backpack.

"Dad, I'm going to sit in here and do my homework, so you don't have to worry about me. You can go back to work now, if you want."

"Why thank you, Lan." Dr. Hikari laughed and went on his way; he really did have work to do.

"I really hate to bother him so much..." Lan said, with a sigh. He turned to Maylu and watched her sleep, then went about doing his homework.

Four Hours Later

Lan watched as Megaman chased Roll around the computer screen. She was giggling loudly and Megaman was laughing as he chased her. Then suddenly, Maylu began to cough violently.

"Maylu? Maylu, are you okay? What's going on?" Lan was immediately worried, when she began to cough up something pink.

"L-Lan..." The word was choked, but Maylu's eyes opened slowly and she turned her head. The pink liquid dribbled out of her mouth, leaving her white pillow stained with pink and her eyes were opened fully.

"Maylu! YOU'RE AWAKE!" Lan was by her side in an instant. He didn't care about anything else in that room when her eyes met his.

"Yeah...I'm awake. But I heard you...when...I was...s-sleeping." She coughed again, and then her eyes closed again for a few moments before she opened them again.

"Maylu, try not to talk."

"L-Lan, w-where am I?"

"You're in Sci-Lab. You've been here for a day now. Some of the doctors said you weren't going to wake up."

Maylu gave a very small smiled and laid on her back, "I guess they don't know what kind of friends I have."

"Not, I don't think so."

"Lan, how long will I be here?"

"You'll have to ask my Dad that. Do you think you can stay up long enough to talk to him, Maylu?"

"I think so." Maylu turned her head toward the computer in the room and saw Megaman watching her intently. Roll was sitting beside him, staring at her Net OP.

"Maylu, I'm so glad you're awake!" Roll cried, with tears in her eyes.

"Uh-huh..." Maylu agreed, even though she knew it didn't sound like it.

"How do you feel?" Megaman questioned, with a gentle smile.

"I'm hungry, my head hurts, and I feel like I'm causing all the sheets in this bed to statically cling to me."

"Maylu, I promise that I'll make you feel better no matter what!" Lan said, standing up and placing his hand over his chest, nearly knocking his chair over. Maylu gave a soft giggle and smiled.

"Lan, I'm alright. I'm glad that I can finally ease the worry that was in your voice. You sounded so sad."

"I was, Maylu."

"Really?"

"You're my best friend! If I lost you, who would be there for me?"

"You're right, Lan. For once, you're right."

"I resent that remark." Lan pouted, but when he heard Maylu's soft giggle, his pout turned into a smile. He swore to himself that he would keep the promise he had just made.
