"Hello, and nice to meet you. I'm Aya Mitsuki, and this is my Navi, Melody. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Laika blinked. Once. Twice. Thrice. Okay, this was weird. In fact, he described this event as awkward. The new girl, Aya, looked peculiar. Not in a bad way. But in a really weird way. She looked quite similar to Enzan, her hair and her eyes. The way she smiled. In fact, this bothered Laika so much that after he got to Enzan's house, where he was staying for a short time being, he repeatedly walked into the exquisite door posts. And walls. And luxury patio windows.

This made Enzan crack up.

"Laika," Enzan stated, as he was rubbing his head, "You're acting really strange today. Why?"

"Eh, nothing, Enzan." He replied.

"Oh. Okay." Then he walked off to his office, probably to do more work. Again. Even I'm not this much of a workaholic, he thought. Maybe. Laika went back to the guest room, thinking harder about what he thought seemed... Strange. But he did get something wrong. Enzan was indeed working, though. Just not on paperwork. With his sister.

"...Enzan," Aya asked, "Can I please come out now? I'm overheating!" She had been waiting in the room's air vent, of course, as that was her style.

"Yes, yes." Enzan sighed and unscrewed the bolts, then moving away to let Aya out. She was all dusty again. And there was no way in hell she would miss a chance to complain about crap like this.

"Enzan, this place is too dusty! And drab! AKA BORING!" She groaned, dusting off her clothes. Enzan cracked another smile. These had been increasingly common recently.

"I know. That's why it's an office, not your designer HQ."

"...And your point is?"

"If you want this place clean, do it yourself." Aya stared at him in mock shock.

"OMG, NO!" She indicated a screaming gesture, because really screaming out loud would draw attention. Enzan laughed. "Well, why am I here again?" She asked.

"You said you wanted to come."

"Oh. Yeah." Aya thought about why she had asked to come in the first place for a minute or two. Then she said, "I wanted to explore the house!" Enzan raised his eyebrows.

"Why?" Aya stared at him as if the answer was obvious.

"'Cause it's been YEARS since I've been here. 10, to be precise." He sighed.

"Look, Nee-chan, I can't risk bringing you around here. Not with all the maids and everyone else around, including Laika. Because that's a little too suspicious. You being here, I mean. With me. In my... Our house." She grinned at him.

"Oh, come ON! Who said that we were going to walk around in plain sight? Not me." Enzan frowned.

"You are not, not, NOT dragging me through air vents again. I swear, you will be in so much shit, Nee-" he started, but Aya was already dragging him by the arm. She grinned.

"Who said we were going through those?"

"Okay," Enzan stated, "I'm asking you this, Nee-chan, why when I precisely said that we are NOT going through those damned air vents, that you dragged me into the air vents. Why the hell?" Aya looked into his eyes and said matter-of-factly,

"You said air vents, right?" He nodded, and then she continued, "Well, Enzan, these are obviously not air vents. These are just vents. There is a HUGE difference. Air vents. Vents. One has the word air in it, the other doesn't. Obviously." He groaned in response. "Come on, let's go around!" They proceeded throughout the various air vents for quite a long time.

Laika went to see what Enzan was doing. He hadn't heard him say or do anything for awhile, and was wondering what kept him so silent. He knocked on the door of the study. "Enzan. You in there?"

No response. He knocked again. "Hello?"

Nothing. He knocked once again. "E.N.Z.A.N. Are. You. In. THERE?!"

No reply. Laika was getting extremely pissed. He whacked his palm against the door, wincing in pain. "Open up!" The lock clicked. Enzan's head popped out.

"What do you want, Laika? You're making a lot of noise, you know." He groaned in frustration.

"If you were in here, then why didn't you just answer?!" Enzan stared at him blankly.

"Because I didn't want to." He stated simply. Then he went back inside, leaving Laika there by himself. Then he pulled his hair in frustration.

"!" He stomped back to his room, and then continued to scream there. Whoa. I never knew Laika could act like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

"I am so happy that there's video on these PETs!" Aya exclaimed after Laika had gone. Enzan looked up from his laptop.

"What did you do now?"

"Just videotape Laika acting like an immature brat. Even though we can't see what he's doing, we can here it. I mean, he's still screaming right now, right? Well, the video's still going." A crash came from where Laika was.

"Interesting." Enzan mumbled, then looked back down.

"Ne, Enzan. Should I send Melody to videotape this? I can always install that video program, right?"

"If you want."

"Sweet! Melody," Aya said to the main computer system where Melody and Blues were, "Could you go into the system, where the guest room is? I wanna see Laika throwing his tantrum!" Melody's face appeared on screen, with Blues behind her.

"How? Aya-san, I don't have anything that could take video..."

"That's why I'm installing a program into you! It'll be fun. I promise. Blues can come along too, to get Searchman all pissed. Maybe he'll throw one, too! That'd be awesome to put on YouTube!" Blues looked at Enzan.

"Enzan-sama, should we do this? I want to, kind of, but... Laika-san and Searchman would murder us..." Enzan looked at his Navi.

"Frame someone, like Netto. He's a prankster. So just make a dummy that looks like him and make sure Laika sees. Otherwise he's gonna obviously know it's us." Aya shrieked in delight.

"Perfect! Are you two ready to get totally needed info?!" Both Navis looked at each other and sighed.

"Hai, Aya-san, Enzan-san/sama."

(Melody said Enzan-san, but Blues said Enzan-sama)

"Oh, my gawd. Sometimes, the NERVE of him!" Laika was currently ranting, while Searchman watched in amusement. Laika currently proceeded to get his PET and whirled it out the window.

"Laika-sama... That's not good. What if you broke it? And... I'm just happy I'm not in there right now." Laika ignored his Navi's comment, and continued on his rampage. Elsewhere, by Searchman, two figures hid by in the Net's area's air vents, video cameras in hand.

"Frankly, I don't get why Aya-san's habits rub off on us." Blues commented. Melody nodded in agreement.

"Do you think you could get Searchman into a conversation? It'll be easier then to tape Laika for me then. When I'm done, then do something that'll piss Searchman off to no end, and while he's trying to kill you, I'll tape him! Okay with the plan?"

"I have no choice, then?"

"Yup!" Blues sighed when she said this. He was 1 year older, truelly, and he hated being commanded around by her. Not really. But he preferred arguing with her to being ordered around by her. He got out of the air vent and seemingly appeared out of nowhere behind Searchman. Blues tapped his shoulder, and Searchman jumped a mile.

"AHH! Oh, my heart! Well, if I had a heart anyways. Blues! Where the hell'd you come from?" Searchman stuttered.

"From the Net, duh. So what's Laika doing?" As Searchman replied, Melody moved out, as close as she could get without catching Searchman's eye.

Okay, she thought, WAY to funny! And it was. Laika was acting like an immature brat, much unlike his usual soldier-like acting. Then she had a flash of inspiration. We could blackmail Laika with this! It's perfect! By the time 30 minutes had gone by, Laika was beginning to wind down. With that, Melody signaled Blues to come with her, and once they were back in the vents informed Blues of her new idea.

This chapter pretty much invented itself, really. R & R, please!

I love spring break. No more damned school for a week, and we also have Easter Monday off. Huzzah! I'm working at my dad's office now. Extra money needed. And, as of April 24th, I will be 13! I wanted to do something, so I updated this. Here's a preview of chapter 4!

Laika woke up bright and early the next morning. He had slept well. Whenever he thought about yesterday, he found it odd that he had thrown a tantrum. Really. He had gotten more pissed off at other things. That wasn't even important. But he decided that for some reason he had snapped. Oh, well. Not that it really mattered. It wasn't as if anyone had seen him and video taped the scene. He went downstairs to find Enzan and the new kid, Aya, at the elegant dinner table. He stopped.

"Um, hi." He said uncertaintly. Aya smiled. She really did look completely like Enzan.

"Yo!" She said as he sat down. "I wanna ask you something, Laika-san." He stiffened for some reason.

"What is it?" He asked. This time Enzan responded.

"Well, it's something sort of big. I'd be surprised if you hadn't guessed it by now. Which is why it bugs me that no one else had recognized it by now." Laika realized what had bugged him about the two finally. He gasped, and stood up in doing so.

"You're... you're..." He started.

"Twins, right?" Aya finished. "Great guess, Laika-san. We're gonna let you in on whatever we plan now, if you pledge to something. To not reveal this." Laika narrowed his eyes.

"Or what?" At this, Aya and Enzan smirked identically.

"This." With a grand gesture, Aya pulled something out of her jacket pocket. Today she wore a short ruffled skirt, a simple white blouse, and a cute jacket that went at about her first rib. What she took out was a kind of microchip, a custom made one.

"What's so important about that?" He asked her, although in his heart he probably knew he shouldn't have asked.

"Either you keep your promise, or this is going on YouTube." She inserted it into her laptop, and let Laika watch it. He turned a deep red.

"So, promise?" Enzan asked.

"Promise." Laika said through gritted teeth.
