Ok guys, I REALLY need more reviews. I know that y'all are reading, so just say something encouraging. They make me want to work faster. And I'll try to work on this more now that I don't have an AP test to worry about.

Mega landed outside of Jena's house's system around 10 am. It was a one and a half hour flight, but the fact that he was flying to Houston turned it into a three hour. "Well, that went well. I just hope that I can get a link to her PET," he thought as he entered the system.

"Hello Mega. How was your flight?" asked Mrs. Walker.

"It was fine. Is Jena at school?" he asked.

"Yes, but she saved a link for you in her room. It should be on Zemmi's desk," she replied.

"Thank you. I'll go and get that right now," he said as he ran upstairs. "There it is," he thought as he picked up the small program labeled 'Hub, here's the link. And it's not broken this time!' "Ah yes, the broken links to nowhere. I think she said that she got rid of all the viruses by those. Well, time to go," he thought as he used the link.

"Chaud, new email from Mary," said Proto from his PET. "She is asking if it'd be ok if she came over three days from now. You don't have anything planned. You may want to ask your father first, though."

"Sure, could you ask him for me? I'm in the middle of something," said Chaud, not turning away from the computer screen.

"Ok, but I don't think that playing MMORPG's all day constitutes 'work' Chaud," said Proto as he opened the link.

"Well, Knight Online is an awesome game. And I'll stop after I level up," he replied as he watched his status bar rise. Proto just shook his head and logged into Mr. Blaze's computer.

"Good morning Proto. What can I do for you today?" asked the president.

"Good morning sir. Chaud and I were wondering if it was too much trouble for Miss Mary and her mother and father to stay at our mansion when they visit in a few days?"

"Not at all. I'll call the mansion and tell them to get two rooms ready," said Mr. Blaze. "Could you tell Chaud that he has permission to invite his girlfriend?"

Proto smirked and logged back to his PET. "Chaud, I'm going to email Mary and tell her that she can come. She and her parents will have separate rooms," he said as he started the email.

"That's nice. I'm almost level 50," said Chaud as his character defeated six enemies. He got a sigh as an answer.

"It's nearly 11 am. Log off and finish that report," said Proto.

"Come on, you're just jealous of my rouge."

"No, I'm telling you that you need to make it look like you were working hard."

"Sure," said Chaud sarcastically as he exited the game and pulled up the Document and got working on it. "Well, I think that I have this finished," he said after twenty minutes of work. "And that was all that I had to do today."

"Now we can go home and check on the rooms."

"And I'll get you an account on WoW," said Chaud with a smirk.

"You don't even know how strange that would be. Those RPG characters are my predecessors," said Proto as he shook his head.

"Whatever."

"The homework is Section 3 review numbers 5-8. It's due on Friday," said Ms. Mari as the bell rang for lunch.

"Thank God that's over," said Lan as he and his friends sat at their normal table.

"Lan, it wasn't that bad. That was the easiest lesson we've had all year," said Tory.

"Maybe for you," Dex commented. "That was horrible."

"When's Mega going to get back again?" asked Roll from her PET.

"Sometime soon," Lan replied as his PET beeped. "This might be him now. Hello?"

"Hey lil' Lan," said Jena. "Mega's going to be staying here for a few days. Our group from when we were little is having a little reunion, and I don't know if your dad will let him come back, so he's just staying here."

"So, if Dad says that he can go back, will you let him come home now?" asked Lan. Everyone else was looking at each other with a look of confusion.

"No, because I know that your dad would try to get back at me for the 'decoder ring', and I can't risk him getting himself in trouble before then. He's staying," she said with a smirk.

"Tell him 'hi' for me," said Roll with a smile.

"Can do Roll. Talk to y'all later," said Jena as she closed the connection.

"That was, um, unexpected. Oh well," said Maylu. "At least we know he'll be safe."

"Yeah, I hope so," said Lan as he started on his lunch.

"Jena, it's not like I'm going to run away," said Mega. "Well, at least it wasn't a broken link." The link in question transported him straight to a cage in Jena's PET.

"I know that you're not going to run away, but what if your brother sends your girlfriend to take you back?" asked Jena. Mega's face turned bright red at this comment. "And if you don't ask her out soon, I'm going to have Zemmi set the two of you up."

"And you know that I'll do it," she said from her chair, which was leaning on the cage.

"Fine, I'll ask her when I get back," he said while raising his hands in mock defeat. "Could I get a chair in here, or a bed, or something so I don't have to stand?"

"Sure," said Jena as she sent the code. A nice twin-sized bed appeared next to him. "I'm glad that your brother didn't see you when I had Zemmi call him."

"Yeah, he might've come over here that instant and try to kick our butts," said Zemmi.

"Why do you think I kept my mouth shut?" asked Mega. "I can't wait to see everyone again."

"And you're going to get to meet Howie. He left the day that you joined our gang."

"Didn't Sam have a crush on him?"

"Yep, I think she still does, if only a little."

"Well, I think the bell just rang Jena," said Zemmi.

"Ok, time to go home," she said as she picked up her bag and PET, and said a quick "Bye Mrs. Johnson," to her teacher before she ran to her car.

"So Glyde, when is Mary coming again?" asked Yai from her office.

"Miss Mary, Miss Ring, and their parents are coming in three days. They'll be staying at Blaze mansion," he replied.

"I know that they're going to be staying there. And I know what they're doing," she said. "They're trying to steal Chaud away from me." Glyde sweat-dropped at this remark.

"Miss Yai, I do not believe that Miss Mary is trying to steal Mr. Chaud from you. I think that Mr. Chaud has already chosen who he wants," he added in an undertone.

"WHAT was that last part?"

"I said that there might still be time to get Mr. Chaud back," he whimpered.

"That's what I thought you said," she replied. "There's no way that she's going to get away with this. Chaud is mine."

"MOM, I'M HOME!" yelled Jena as she entered The Garage.

"Hey sweetie," said Mrs. Walker as she gave her daughter a hug. "Did you see Mega. He came by earlier today."

"Yeah Mom, and he's still here," said Jena as she pulled out her PET. She had freed him from the cage on the way back, and he was standing and chatting with Zemmi.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Walker," he said.

"Good afternoon. Oh, before I forget, Jena, you have two more guests in your room," said Mrs. Walker with a wink.

"Thanks Mom," she replied as she bounded up the stairs and into her room. There, one sitting on the bed and one looking in the mirror, were Sam and Cody. "SAMMIE!" Jena yelled as she pounced on her friend. "AND CODY! Oh, it's great to see you!"

"It is wonderful to see you too," said Cody. Sam just smiled.

"I've heard a crazy rumor that Hub is alive," she said.

"Well, that'd be correct," said Hub, who had just logged into the real world, and was wearing normal clothes.

"HUB!" screamed Sam as she tackled him. "We all thought you were dead! How'd you manage this?"

"If you'd get off, I'll tell you," he said with a smile. Sam released him, and Cody helped him up. "Thanks. Well, my dad converted me to a navi a few weeks before I 'died'. It took a while, which was why it looked like I was getting worse. But the good news is that I'm cured of HBD now."

"That's wonderful my friend," said Cody (I think of him as european, and smart). "But if you are a navi, shouldn't you look like a navi?"

"Well, this is a program that masks that look. Jena made it fifteen minutes ago. I'll show you my navi look," he said as he shed the program.

"Wow," said Sam and Cody together.

"That's amazing."

"What?" asked Hub.

"I didn't know that you were Megaman!" said Sam. "I knew that you had a little brother, so I just assumed that your dad made a navi that just looked like you. I didn't know that it was you."

"Well," said Jena with a smile, "I just hope that Howie and Daniel can take this news as well as you did. I don't want to take anyone to the hospital." This got everyone laughing, and they started catching up.

"Lan, did you finish your homework?" asked Mrs. Hikari.

"Yes, I did it all. I'm going to be reading," he said as he closed the door.

Sup Velvet,

Well, Hub met the playroom meanie Todd Hunter today. We were playing with the blocks when Todd came and kicked them over. Hub got mad and started yelling at Todd. Todd is six, and he's a good three inches taller than me and Hub. But Hub tried to hurt him anyway. He ran and put his shoulder in Todd's stomach. Todd got even madder and grabbed Hub by the other shoulder, and he threw him down. Then I saw Hub do something that I've never seen before. He grabbed Todd's leg and pulled it and made Todd fall down. Todd then started to get really really mad, and he started punching Hub. I attacked him after that. I jumped on his back and started pulling his hair. He then got his other bully friends to help him, so I got the rest of the playroom to get them. We won.

I heard that Hub got a sprained wrist, which means Todd almost broke it. Mrs. Trisha (the nice nurse) said that Todd was going to get in trouble. She said that he had no reason to hurt Hub.

Hub was real quiet when I went to see him after the fight. He was almost completely hidden by his covers. I told him to not let Todd get to him. He just pretended to be asleep. I think that he'll get better tomorrow. That's what Mrs. Trisha said.

I'm going to bed. It was a long day.

"Hub got beat up? Is that why he's not afraid of navi's that are 3 times his size?" thought Lan. "I should call him and see how he's doing. Wait, he'll be fine. Jena's there, and the rest of their gang will be arriving there soon. He'll be fine."

"Lan, could you call you father and ask him what time he's going to be getting home?" asked Mrs. Hikari.

"Sure Mom," he said as he called his father.
