Chapter 2: Four years later
In a dark bedroom that was blocked by the window curtains lay a prone and sleeping figure on the bed. It was a simple room that any teenager has. The clock that was on the person's bedside table ticked to 7:30 AM.
"Netto. Netto.~"
The one beneath the blanket gave a tired mew mixed with a groan. "Five more minutes…"
"No, Netto, you can't have five more minutes." Said Rockman from within his PET.
Seeing as his sister wasn't about to wake up anytime soon, he decided to project his voice. "Netto Hikari, get up right this second! You're going to be late!"
"Late…?" Netto slurred as the brunette untangled herself from the comfy comforter of sleepydom and looked at her clock on her bedside table.
7:38 AM.
Blinking owlishly and staring at the clock for a couple of minutes whilst Rockman watched in silent humor as his sister's eyes finally widened in realization.
"Not again!" The brunette's scram could be heard in and around the house. Pretty sure a neighbour or two also heard it.
From downstairs Haruka smiled and giggled at her daughter's antics. It's always the same every morning. The older woman wondered if her baby girl was ever going to outgrow the habit of waking up late.
Back upstairs, Netto hastily combed her midriff length hair and tied it up in a high ponytail. She was wearing her usual semi-loose white shirt with their family symbol on each shoulders, a pleated jean skirt with dark blue and white plaid designs, black thigh length tights with yellow stripes on each side, a blue sleeveless zipped up vest that she leaves open, and finally a light blue ascot around her neck.
Finally wearing her socks, the brunette grabbed her PET and placed it at the standard belt for the device, grabbed her bag and quickly dashed downstairs.
"Morning, mama." She greeted along with her brother once she was arrived at the kitchen. But seeing that Netto didn't have time to stay and eat, she picked up her lunch and placed it inside her bag. Drinking her portion of milk for the day, she the spread some orange marmalade on her toast. She had to eat and run if she was to make it to school in time.
Running towards the door, Netto quickly put on her black and yellow and white accent sneakers before placing the skates on.
"Bye-bye, mama. We're off!" She said from a mouthful of toast.
"Have a good day, Netto, Rock!" Haruka waved off her children as they disappeared from sight.
~*~*†*~*~
"Crap, crap, crap, crap!" Netto cursed as she quickly skated through town after getting off the metro.
"It's your fault for sleeping late. Again." Rockman sighed from his PET.
"What were you doing late last night, anyway?" He added.
"I was studying for a quiz. Wished that I had woken up sooner." Netto replied as she turned down another road.
The brunette then blinked when she saw someone familiar. "Meiru-chan! Hey, Meiru-chan!"
Aforementioned teen turned when she was being called. She smiled. "Netto-chan! Good morning!"
The pink haired girl's hair was shoulder length with the same symbol clip on her hair. She wore a comfortable long sleeved baby blue buttoned blouse with a round neckline decorated with lacings, a dark pink pleated skirt, black knee length socks, and blue and white sneakers. She was riding her motor scooter – a present from Yaito last year on her birthday.
Netto smiled and stopped when she reached her childhood friend. "Morning, Meiru-chan."
"Running late? Again?" Meiru teased and laughed when the brunette stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah, you are, too."
Meiru giggled. "C'mon. We can still make it if I put the metal to the pedal."
"Sweet! Let's go!"
With Netto hanging from behind, holding tightly on the handle bar, Meiru hit the motor, and the next thing the two knew they were speeding down the road with an amazing speed they were surprised that they weren't pulled over by the local authorities.
~*~*†*~*~
Within the school's digital lobby, Rock, Roll, Gutsman, Glyde, and Iceman were conversing random subjects. From Gutsman and Dekao's wins from net battling last weekend, to Glyde and Yaito's trip all over Milan, to Rock's major boo-boo when he saw his sister changing out of her undergarment accidentally, to Roll and Meiru's progress in baking complicated cakes.
As they were laughing when Meiru rejected Dekao's request on a date again, the blue Navi suddenly received an e-mail. Confused he opened it since it was sent to him.
When he read the e-mail's contents, a faint dusting of pink appeared on his cheeks. His core was suddenly aflutter.
Roll noticed the pink blush on Rock's cheeks. She also noticed the e-mail he received. Putting two and two together, bell were going off inside Roll's head.
I wonder who sent the e-mail, she thought. Though, I think I have an idea who, but…
Well, she was going to find out herself.
"Rockman, what's that?" She asked. Though she was half surprised how the Navi reacted.
Said Navi screamed n shock surprise and jumped, literally, three feat in the air. He was sputtering and flailing so bad that he barely said a coherent sentence.
"R-Roll! I-I-I-that is… I was just-Nothing! It was nothing! T-This is just…j-j-j-just…!" Frustrated and annoyed, Rockman quickly closed the e-mail before anyone could read it, and regained his composure in three seconds flat.
Ha. Take that Blues. You're not the only one who's fast.
"Nothing, Roll-chan. It was nothing important."
Like I believe that. The pink Navi hummed, not at all convinced. "Okay. So, what was that e-mail all about?"
"Oh, that? Nothing. It was just a random spam message. A very bad and embarrassing message." Rock was this close for his palm meeting his face. What kind of excuse was that?!
"A spam message?" Glyde began, confused. "If it was indeed a spam, why haven't we received anything?"
"He's right, guts." Said Gutsman.
"Well, you know… Some spams can be received by people when they are mentioned." That was not the best explanation the blue Navi has in his arsenal.
The rest looked at him, obviously not believing, but for Rock's sake-and since he was starting to sweat bullets (which the author should understand that Navi's don't do those things)-they all hummed and took it. Leaving him alone. But they will get to the bottom of it.
And so the friends, human and Navi alike, went on their normal day as the bell signalled lunch time and the group of friends enjoyed their third week as high school students.
~*~*†*~*~
On the other part of the world, a certain red Navi had a small smile on his face you would think that it was a trick of the light a pixels after he sent the message to a certain blue Navi. From his perch he looked out through the glass windows surrounding he and his NetOp's permanent living apartment. It was already late in the night as his operator was taking a shower, and that left him alone to his thoughts.
'I has been four years.'
As he looked out from his PET, he watched as the stars twinkled in the moonless night sky.
Blues sighed wistfully. "I miss you, Rock."

A/N: My cheeks are aching because of the fluffiness I've put in there for Rock and Blues. I don't know about you guys, so tell me what you think. Speak your mind. And I know very well that Netto is a little different here, but there is a reason. Just be patient until that time. Also, help. I have not watched MM Access, and I barely watched half of . So please tell me how they plug in their Navi. Is it still 'Plug in' or is it the laser version of it? Seriously; some assistance please.
See you all in the next update. Bye-bye.
