Megaman's POV-

Hamburgers actually didn't taste too bad, especially for it being the inner cavity of a cow. I can't believe humans eat like this everyday. Unfortunately I have to experience this luxury in the body of a dog. This isn't what I would consider to be 'fun'.

Lan looks so sad. He must really miss me. He's been looking at the PET every ten seconds, hoping for something to happen. I stretched out my paw, resting it on his hand. He looked down at me, a small smile on his face. I could see tears in his eyes. He was doing everything he could to keep from crying. He reached over me, picking up the remote and turned off the TV. Standing up, Lan took the PET and signaled for me to follow him upstairs.

I his room, Lan set the PET in its charger and lied down on the bed, on his back. I jumped up and lay on the pillow close to his head. Apparently, I must have whimpered in worry because he looked at me. He wasn't smiling now. Loneliness and worry were easily seen on his face.

"You want to know what's wrong with me, don't you?"

I yipped as a sign of saying yes.

"Alright. I suppose letting this out will put both of us to rest."

Lan turned his head towards the ceiling.

"It's my navi, Megaman. He disappeared the other day after a netbattle. It might be hard for to understand how I feel, but being a creature of nature, you might have experienced it before."

I tilted my head to the side in pseudo-confusion. I have had special feelings before, but I wanted Lan to specify. It was really intriguing.

"Well, the least I could say was that he was my best friend. He means everything to me. I'll go to the end of the Earth to find him. I'd do anything for him!"

I flinched at Lan's little outburst. He started crying with full force and it didn't look like he would stop anytime soon. I stood up and climbed on top of him, nuzzling my head against his cheek. Lan opened his eyes and stared at me. There was a look in his eyes that I had never seen before. Intense pain was visible, showing that he had a dark secret that was burning at his soul.

"I've never told him this before; the real reason he means so much to me. My own parents don't even know this."

Lan paused to wipe away the tears. My heart was pounding. What secret could be so painful to him that he wouldn't tell me? Lan told me everything.

"I was… suicidal. I just felt like ridding myself of this world. I really didn't have any friends. Maylu was even reconsidering our friendship. The only reason I have friends is because of Megaman. They can't depend on themselves, so they rely on him. They don't like me and I don't like them. I've faked our friendship from the very beginning, just to make sure he wouldn't worry about me. They only like Megaman."

Lan wanted to die!? How could he have never told me that before? If it wasn't for me, he'd be dead?

Alright, that's the last straw! I have to find a way to tell Lan that this dog, Rock, is actually his navi. The execution of this plan will be odd, but it must be done. The morning will be my best opportunity.

I protectively curled up on Lan's chest as he fell asleep with his arm draped over me. I would just have to wait for the right opening tomorrow.

I hope you liked this. I made Megaman sound like a military general at the end. Funny how things turn out. I completely changed this chapter from my original plans, so tell me if you like this.

The next chapter is the last with a surprise ending you wouldn't guess… hopefully.

Please review and happy reading.
