December 31, 2014

Author's Note: Advance Happy 2015 everyone! Look who's doing an update? Me! :3 . Previously, we saw, my Hiro Hamada Girl version, Hana Hamada and her very harsh high school life. As you can see, I also turned Hiro's brother Tadashi into a girl named Takako Hamada. Annndddd….. Life savior Gogo Tomago just appeared! Yay! She's also one of the few characters that I decided to change into the opposite gender for a more interesting story. I didn't changed the name any more since I think the name Gogo Tomago would still be a good name for a boy. I'm very happy that at least there are some few that actually liked what I'm doing in here and that gave me the urge to still continue this. Uhh... If you notice some wrong grammars, please do tell. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Hmm… That's for now. Ladies and gentlemen… Chapter 2! :)) . I hope you will like it. :)

CHAPTER 2: BOT-FIGHTING (PART 1)

Many months have passed.

FIST BUMP!

"Time went so fast Hana.", the girl with a shoulder length hair, Takako happily said to her younger sister. "You're now graduating high school!"

"I know right! You don't know how happy I am, Takako!"

"So proud of you, sis. Congratulations."

"Thanks."

We all know why Hana is really happy. Good bye San Fransokyo High. Good bye school bullies. Hello freedom.

While they're talking, their Aunt Cass appeared. She just went home and immediately went to her nieces having bunch of papers in hand.

"Aunt Cass!", the two called in unison.

"Hana, Takako! Look! Look! Look at these!" The two became curious. "Especially you, Hana!"

"W-What? Me?", Hana wondered. "Aunt Cass, why are you holding so many papers?"

Without answering she just gave her a big hug.

"Oh, I'm so proud of you, sweetie!"

"What? I-I don't understand…"

"Yeah, Aunt Cass.", says Takako. "Has something happened?"

When she let go of Hana, she showed all the papers she's been holding since she came. Hana and Takako took one for each of them to see what those papers are.

"I have here letters from different colleges and universities!"

"Letters from different colleges and universities?"

"Hey Hana! Looks like all of these are acceptance letters!" Takako confirmed.

"Huh? Acceptance letters?" She tried reading the whole thing on the paper she's holding. "Dear Hana Hamada, Congratulations. We will gladly accept you to our university-… W-W-WHAT?!" She took the letter her sister is holding and read it too. She took all of the papers her aunt is holding and scanned them one by one. "Congratulations" on every beginning of the letter doesn't seem to be a good thing for her. "I-I don't remember that I applied to these schools! I don't even remember I applied to any!"

"Since I thought you're busy, I did the job for you. They didn't even appoint you for an entrance exam. Just seeing your grades made them want you in their school already!"

"What?!"

Takako and Aunt Cass stared at her, wondering why her actions are like that. A typical person would be very, very happy if they were in her case.

"Is there any problem Hana?", asked Aunt Cass. "You don't look happy about it."

"Sis, don't tell me—"

She sighed. "Sorry. I have decided. I… I don't wanna go to college."

Such full of shock and disappointment in both Takako and Aunt Cass… Of course they'll be, especially the aunt who did the things for her and was so excited about it.

"What are you talking about, Hana?"

"I'm sorry Aunt Cass. I know you'll be mad—"

"Of course I'll be! Who wouldnt be?!"

"I-I am sorry…", She wanted to tell her reasons but she can't. Now she can't look straight and just looked on the floor.

Aunt Cass left. Takako looked at her, shook her head, and left her too. After that, Hana just went to her room, sat on her bed, hugged a pillow, and cried.

The happy atmosphere just vanished like that. It looked like it didn't happen at all.

Later that day, Aunt Cass decided to go to her room. Hana, at that time, was reading a book on her study table.

"Oh. A-Aunt Cass.", she said while closing the book. "I-I'm still sorry for what happened. I know that you wouldn't like my decision."

Aunt Cass sat on a portion of her bed closer to where she is right now, still not saying anything.

"Are you still mad?"

"Maybe a little still mad but… I just wanted to say sorry too."

"Huh?"

"I realized something… I shouldn't be that harsh and… I think I should respect your decision. I know, I know. This wouldn't be what a parent would say, maybe not your parents will say too if they're here but… what can I do? What can anyone do? And besides, you're just thirteen, still not the age for college… not even an age to even graduate high school."

"Aunt… Cass…"

"Just tell me if you change your mind. Remember, I'm here for you. I love you sweetie."

Aunt Cass hugged her and Hana hugged back teary-eyed. "If only I can tell you…", Hana said in her mind. "I'm sorry Aunt Cass."

The next day, Hana went to her sister's room and saw that she's working on a blueprint.

"Hey Takako." When she greeted, Takako was shocked and immediately hid her blueprint which made her curious. "Ummh… working on a new project, huh?"

"Err… yeah."

"Mmm… Are you mad at me that I am not going to college?"

"No.", she quickly responded. "Just a little disappointed. I mean, you're smart and everything."

"Oh. Ah… say, why did you hid your blueprint?, she asked and then concluded... "Don't want me to see it? So you're mad after all."

"Huh? What? No! That's ridiculous!"

"Then why did you hide it? You don't normally do that."

"It's a secret."

"C-Can I just have a glimpse on it?"

"No."

"Please?"

"Hana. I told you 'no'."

"Is it a new gadget? Or a robot maybe?"

"Hana."

She sighed. "Okay right I get it."

"I know you are into technologies too lately but sorry, I can't tell you about this one for now."

"Uhhh…"

Takako smiled. "Well! I'll be back at working. Just lock the door when you leave."

"Fine..."

After Hana's graduation, she decided to start helping her aunt on her bakery and coffee shop since she's got nothing to do except that. Well, that's what everybody knows. When she's not at the shop, she's researching and studying more and more about robotics and stuffs. Yes. Self-study. Wow. She even started to build her very own robot with only having a knowledge base on those researches. Although her sister and aunt knew her interest on robots, they never knew she'd go to the extreme. They don't know that she's now actually making a robot but, on her fourteenth birthday, they were shocked because she actually requested a robot-shaped cake… not so very usual huh? Not to mention she's a girl.

Today, while scanning through the internet about robots, she saw this advertisement about… "Bot-fighting". It's a very small ad but she got curious so she clicked it right away.

"Bot-fighting, huh?", she told herself then she started to read the article available there. "Place your bets and fight other robots with your robot…- Hey, isn't this illegal? This is gambling..! And this is even on the internet? Seriously." She was about to leave the site when she saw a video below. She played it. It's a video of people who are bot-fighting. It's not a good thing but Hana felt somehow excited. Then she looked at her unfinished robot.

"Meh. I'll just get bullied there for sure."

She looked on the computer again and thinks for a while.

"Hmm… It is illegal and adults are the usual people in there but…", She looked on her robot again, then the computer, then the robot again, then the computer, then the robot again and… "Okay I'll go."

And that's it. She's a kid after all… easily distracted by stuffs. Every day for few months after that, she works on her robot little by little and add it some battling features. Her really reason to build robot is to just have fun and later on show it to her family but then it changed when she saw that ad. A little girl actually wants to go to a place full of evil adults…

"Hana, wanna go to the mall or something?", asked her sister while Hana is cleaning the tables at the shop. "Your life is just your room and the shop."

"I-I'm fine sis.", she said. "I'm kinda busy too and I still have to do some stuff in my room after my job here."

"Is that 'stuff' something the reason why you're always in your room? What stuff is that anyway?"

"Secret. And I won't tell. Sorry."

Her sister just looked at her, puzzled.

A few days later…

"Just a little screw here and… yes!" At last, after a long while, she's already done making her robot. "Hmm… now what should I call you?", She thought for a while. "Oh! I know! I will call you… 'Megabot'!"

The robot is quite small and doesn't look like a thing for battling as it looks rather cute than scary and add the fact that it has a smiling face. "With you Megabot in hand, I'll be the best bot-fighter ever!" Hana sure is proud of her cute-battling creation. She took the remote control and tested the robot.

"Cool! It's working!"

On the night of that very same day, she secretly left home and went to the place where the bot-fighting takes place. A few meters before reaching the area was really dark and you can't really sure if a bot-fighting area exists in there. Hana was scared. All she can do while walking through the dark path was to clutch the shoulder straps of her backpack. And as she continues to walk, she saw a bright light and started to hear shouting and cheering from many people. It looks like she found it. She gulped before entering the place. It's really crowded and definitely looked like what she saw from the video before. The only part with some space is the space for the two robots fighting.

"Hey! What's a kid doing here?!", says a lady at her. "Are you lost? This place is not for you!"

"I-I…"

"What?"

"I-I am… here to… join… the bot-fight…"

The girl burst out laughing. "People, you heard that? This little girl wants to join our bot-fight!" All people started laughing too. "Do you even know what you're sayin'?" Hana was right. She'll be bullied in here. Now she wanted to leave because of that… but she didn't. She's already here. She already put so much effort for this. She can't go back now.

"Really. I want to join the bot-fight." People just continued to laugh… then she showed them her robot.

Laughter becomes louder.

"Just go home, kid! This thing is for adults. And just look at your robot. It doesn't even look like it has a chance to beat even the most useless robot in here!"

Hana was losing hope but still gathered all her strengths. "Please! Lemme join!"

The lady rolled her eye, smirked, and sighed.

"Alright-y… let's see what your toy can do. You battle me. Just don't cry when you lose." At last her request has been granted.

"Follow me."

Hana gulped and followed her. Then both of them went to opposite sides of the battle area. Hana put her robot inside the arena and the opponent put hers as well. The lady's robot was in a shape of some sort of a monster, looks ferocious and much bigger than Hana's robot.

"I'm Loris. And this… is Gharu, one of the strongest robots in here…", she introduced. "So, how about you?"

"I'm Hana… and this is Megabot."

The lady smirked once more. "Let's see what your Megabot got then, Hana." She placed her bet and Hana placed hers as well.

"Are you really gonna fight a child?!", shouted one guy from the audience.

"Don't worry. I won't be hard." The lady is confident that she'll win this battle. She's not really serious about the decision of fighting Hana. She thought that she just only to scare her so she'll leave and won't come back. "Well, she wished for this so let's give it."

Both held their controllers. The bell rang and the battle begins.

The lady attacked first. She made Gharu attack Megabot using its tail but it failed as her Megabot jumped in the air and attacked Gharu with its whole body. Gharu fell on the ground surprising everyone. It stood up again to try battling more but smiley-face robot Megabot just made him go to the floor one more time. It can't stand any more so without further ado, Hana was announced the winner and got her prize. It was a fast fight. All were amazed by her robot. It's small, but terrible.

"What?!", the lady said. "I've been beaten by a kid?!"

All cheered out for Hana. The laughter of people for her a while ago went to Loris, who because of embarrassment, immediately left the place with her robot. That was the first time Hana felt that important in her own life. That was the first time that someone actually liked her like that except for her family. That was the first time she was not the one being laughed. That was the first time. She enjoyed the feeling. She knows this is illegal but after she won, she wanted more. She felt happy in here. She knows that she's still need to be there. She knows that she can be who she is in there.

After a few more fights, she now went home. Hana was lucky that nobody noticed her sudden disappearance as Takako and Aunt Cass were now peacefully sleeping in their rooms.

The next day when Takako was preparing to go to school, she saw Hana smiling so wide like there's no tomorrow.

"Good morning Ms. Smiling face.", she greeted. "What's with being so happy? You got a nice dream?"

"Even better.", she replied.

"What?"

"Oh! I mean, yeah! I have this nice dream that everybody's cheering for me because of my great robot."

"Really? What a nice dream you got there."

"I know right."

If only Takako knew that what Hana's saying was not a dream but what actually happened to her last night. Apparently, she can't say it because if they'll know, she's in trouble. BIG. TROUBLE.
