Thanks for all of the reviews.

Terratasha- here's the requested freakage. And for the last review, A) I hated geometry too (who didn't/doesn't), and I'll add some fluff!

LemmingRebel- funny how friendships work out like that

Shadowkeeper113- here's the update. Sorry if it took too long. .

"W-what the- what the crap!" yelled Daniel. "What the hell?"

"Well, I guess that it's safe to say that Daniel did not take that well," said Jena. Hub was sitting and chatting with Cody, when Daniel walked into the room, and noticed his supposedly dead friend. That's when he started to freak out.

"Daniel, we need you to calm down," Sam said as Daniel started to scream louder. "SHUT UP NOW!"

"He's a ghost!" Daniel screamed as Hub turned a few shades paler.

"Daniel, don't even joke like that," he said. "You know that I'm scared to death of ghosts. No pun intended." Daniel took a few steps away from Hub. Cody sighed angrily.

"Daniel, as much as we absolutely love to hear your voice, SHUT UP!" yelled Cody. Daniel froze, every one did. No one had seen Cody that mad before. "Hub didn't die."

"Wh-what?" asked Daniel.

"I didn't die. I was transferred to the net. It just looked like I died," said Hub.

"Bu-but I saw them take your body away," said Daniel.

"They transferred his mind to the net," said Jena.

"Who?" asked someone outside the room. The door opened, and Howie walked in. "Hey everyone. Who were ya talking about?"

"Hub Hikari," said Sam.

"Didn't he die?" asked Howie. Everyone groaned, except for Daniel. "Just joking, I heard everything from outside."

"Why didn't you come on in?" asked Daniel.

"Because I didn't want to get hit by anything," he said. "It sounded like Sam was about to throw something." Everyone looked at Sam, who currently had the largest dictionary she could find in her hand.

"He-he-he, sorry 'bout that," she said while sweat-dropping. "So Howie, how's your life been?"

"It's been ok," he replied. "Not even a scar from the car wreck."

"That's good," said Jena.

"Hey Howie," said Hub. "Nice to finally meet you."

"Same here," said Howie, shaking his hand. "So, where've you been hiding out these past eleven years?"

"The net," he replied. "Papa made me into a Navi."

"Cool. So, what's your navi name?" Daniel asked, now convinced that his friend was solid, and alive.

"Megaman," Hub replied calmly. (A/N: insert record scratch here)

"The Megaman?" asked Howie, after pausing for a few seconds. "Awesome."

"So, wait," said Daniel, obviously trying to think. "Weren't you deleted?"

"Yes," Hub said. "And I nearly destroyed the net, and I've nearly been deleted so many times that I quit counting."

"So, who's up for some prank pulling?" asked Jena, completely changing the subject.

"But, who to pull it on?" asked Sam.

"Um, how about your siblings?" asked Howie.

"What should we do?" asked Cody.

"I say we do a little 'cleaning'," suggested Hub. "Jena, do you have any of that Glad carpet deodorizer and Pine Sol?"

"Yep, let me go and get those," she said as she bolted for the cleaning room. She came back after a few minutes with the supplies.

"Those stairs can be changed to carpet," said Zemmi. She had been chatting with everyone's netnavi's. Cody had a navi that looked like the black knight from Medieval times named Alexander. Sam had a girl navi with short, spiked purple hair, and her suit was black and looked like it had a skirt over the bottom (A/N: Like Maylu in crossfusion). Her name was Helena. Daniel had a cowboy navi named Walker. Howie had a navi with grey armor and red trim, and a blue sphere in the middle of his chest. His helmet was red in the front and dark grey in the back, with a blue crystal in the middle. His name was Axl.

"So, we're going to put the bad smelling stuff on the carpet of the stairs, so what does the Lemon Pine Sol have to do with anything?" asked Daniel.

"Simple," said Hub. "We're going to 'clean' the floors. If I recall correctly, this stuff works like wax."

"Let's get started," said Jena.

"Dr. Hikari, I just got an email from your son's girlfriend," said Mejin. "It says that Mega is going to be staying in Houston for a few days."

"Why?" asked Dr. Hikari.

"Because there's a reunion for all of his childhood friends there," Mejin replied.

"Ok, well, at least I got the code, and so I can decode this," he said as he started to work.

-The next day (Tuesday)-

"Lan, call your brother and tell him that he needs to be home by Thursday," said Mrs. Hikari.

"Ok," he replied as he started the email.

Hub,

Mom says that you need to be home by Thursday.

Lan

"Short, sweet, and to the point," he thought as he sent it. "Time to read another entry."

'Sup Velvet?

Today was a lot of fun. We got Todd back good. By 'we' I mean Sam, Cody, Daniel and me. Hub's still hurt. Our evil scheme was this: we cornered him in the game room, and buried him under the books. I can be very intimidating. I just walked up to him real slowlike, and said "you're going to leave my friends alone." He didn't look where he was going, and he walked into the big bookcase backwards. Sam and Daniel pushed it so that all of the books fell. We then ran to the other end of the playroom and started to color. Cody had started them, so it looked like we were drawing the whole time. And every other kid in the room said that we were. No one really like Todd.

When I told Hub, he was sad. He said that he didn't want someone to be hurt because of him. I told him that Todd would just keep on hurting people if he didn't get punished. The nurses don't punish us.

Uh oh, I have to go. The nurse is coming.

Night Velvet

"LAN!" came his mother's voice from downstairs as Lan finished reading, "Maylu's here. You need to come here!" Lan bolted downstairs.

"Hey," they said at the same time.

"What did you need help on?" asked Maylu.

"Math, what else?" he said as they started upstairs. "Roll," he asked as they walked into his room. "Could you go and see if you can find anything that warrants blackmail?" Roll sighed.

"I guess," she said. "I hope he doesn't get mad." Maylu logged her in, and she walked over to his bookcase. She found his journal, and pulled it out. On the cover was this note.

---

Roll,

I have a feeling that Lan is going to get you to snoop through my stuff. I'll let you keep my journal IF you promise to not tell him about anything that you may find. He's kind of mad from some teasing that I gave him a few days ago.

Thanks,

Mega

Roll couldn't help but smile. "Ok Mega, I won't tell," she thought. She walked over to his bed, laid down on it, and opened the journal.

February 12, 2030

Hey Light,

Sorry that I couldn't write for a while. I had a sprained wrist. It hurt. Todd, the bully, was being mean and kicked over my block castle, so I ran into his stomach. It must've hurt, because he pushed me to the ground hard. I got really mad, and tried to make him trip. I did. I grabbed his leg and pulled it out from under him. That's when he got EXTREMLY mad and started to punch, kick, and bite. I thought I was a goner. But Jena, Sam, Cody and Daniel jumped on him and started to fight him too. That's when his other friends got into the fight, and started to hurt the rest of my friends. I got up and tackled him and we got into a fist fight. When I was hitting, he grabbed my arm and twisted it the wrong way. I screamed, and four other kids jumped on Todd and made him let go. I stopped fighting, and Todd and group was beaten in five minutes. That's when the nurses came in. Even my nurse. Everyone got in trouble for fighting, especially Todd. I got off light because I was crying because I was hurt. I think that my punishment is coming, though.

Jena came by two days ago and told me that she got Todd back. I don't want people to fight for me. I want to be able to fight for myself. It's not fair. Todd was being mean to me, and only me and Todd would have gotten in trouble if my friends didn't get into it. No one else would be in trouble. Why do they fight in my place? Do they think that I'm not strong enough? Do they think that I'm not smart enough? Do they think that I'm not clever enough? Do they think that I'm not smart-alecky enough? I wish that one day I'll be so strong, smart and clever that no one will pick on me or my friends anymore. I don't care about the smart-alecky part; that just makes people mad. But maybe I'll be so smart-alecky that they won't pay attention. I'll show them that I can take care of myself and my friends. Hang on, the mean nurse is here.

I had to take my medicine. And get my punishment. No playroom for two months. That's not nice. I asked her why, and she said that 'I'm hanging out with the wrong kids, and that they've had a bad effect on me'. She said 'because your heart is too weak, and that going to the playroom will hurt you more than losing "friends".' She said 'they don't really care about me, and that they only allowed me to play with them because they needed another person to do their 'dirty work' for them'. They needed a puppet. Who was I kidding? No one would want to be friends with someone who knows that they're going to die soon. I was kidding myself. Not only will I not be able to see my friends anymore, but my Grandpa died yesterday. He was in the hospital down the hall, and he died. I would sneak out at night and play with him, but now he's gone too. All I have left is my Momma, Papa, and little Lan. And you Light. I'll always keep you safe. You're all of my friends here. Don't go away too.

Mrs. Winston just came back. I have to go to sleep. I think she was smiling at me because I'm about to cry.

Goodnight Light

"Mega," thought Roll as she finished the entry. "Your childhood was filled with so much pain. I promise that the next time I see you, I'm going to give you the biggest hug, and maybe even a kiss. But I know that Jena didn't abandon you. I'm going to have to thank her for that. And, hey, you got your wish. You've saved me many times, as well as the rest of your friends. You're my strength, and if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be your comfort."

"Roll," said Maylu. "Are you ok? You look like you're about to cry."

"Oh, it's just this book I brought," she lied as she sent the journal to her homepage. "I just read a really sad part."

"Ok," Maylu replied. "Lan and I are done. Time to go home."

"Sure," Roll said as she logged into her homepage.

"Chaud," said Proto. "Mary is coming tomorrow. You need to make triple sure that everything is ready."

"Ok," Chaud said, looking up from the email that he had just gotten. "Tell the butlers to buy some lilac soap to put in their parent's bathroom, along with Jasmine shampoo and conditioner as well as some Zirh shampoo and conditioner, and to put peach shampoo and conditioner and pear soap in Mary's bedroom."

"Did you just pick those fragrances at random?" asked Proto as he wrote the email.

"No, Mary just sent me her and her parent's favorite shampoo and fragrances," said Chaud as he closed the email, and another appeared in his inbox. "Yai just sent me an email."

"Good for her," said Proto. "I'm going to make sure that they have everything ready. Anything else?"

"Ask them to put some pink carnations in a vase in the parent's room, and some 'bird of paradise' flowers in Mary's room," he said as he opened the email. Proto wrote it down and logged to the house system. "Now what does Yai want?"

Chaud:

Meet me in the park in thirty minutes. We need to talk.

Yai.

P.S.- Proto can come, but he's not to say anything. I'm leaving Glyde at the office.

"That's odd," he thought. "I should tell Proto as soon as he comes back. He's coming."

MRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMR

Thirty minutes later, Yai and Chaud met in the Park across the street from Lan and Maylu's homes. "What's the matter Yai?" asked Chaud.

"I need to tell you something," she replied. Suddenly she was hit with a flashback to her office a few minutes earlier.

FLASHBACK

"Miss Yai, I do not think that this is a good idea," said Glyde.

"And why not?" she responded angrily.

"Because you can't force someone to love you."

END FLASHBACK

"I don't care what Glyde says. You can force people to love you, and I'll prove it," she thought.

"Well?" Chaud asked. "I need to get back to work."

"I just wanted to tell you that you are going to be my boyfriend, whether you like it or not," she said. Chaud just laughed.

"Yai," he said, calming down. "No." With that, he walked back to his limo.

"Is it because of Mary?" she asked. He turned around.

"Yes," he replied bluntly.

"Well, she's nothing!" Yai said.

"Yai, you need to learn that there's a difference between 'having nothing' and 'nothing'," he said calmly as he stepped into his limo and drove off. "Driver, take me home."

"Yes sir."
