C'mon, I know you like it, tell me why. Please..? Anyway, the plot thickens! As Geo and Sonia get their Hunters back, what lies in store for them? Find out now! (Blah blah MegaMan isn't mine, he's Keiji Inafune's)
Chapter 4:
The next morning, Geo woke up to
see Sonia's beautiful face resting on his chest. He didn't want
to get up; not only was it comfortable, but he didn't want to wake
her up. He thought about the night before and how wonderful it was.
He had never even thought about the possibility of such a thing
happening, and yet, it happened. So many thoughts crossed Geo's
mind, but all of them led to one thing: He was happy with Sonia.
A
few minutes after Geo woke up, Sonia awoke as well. She looked up at
Geo, smiled, and said, "Goo' mor'in', swee'ie," trying to
stifle a yawn. She kissed him and giggled.
"Morning, baby,"
he said after kissing her back. "I love you."
"I love you,
too," she said, giggling again. "Did you enjoy last night as much
as I did..?"
"Um… Probably," he said. "I don't know
how much you enjoyed it, but I know I enjoyed it a lot."
She
giggled once again. "You're so silly, Geo," she teased, kissing
him again.
"I guess I am," he projected. "Do you know what
time it is..? I mean, I'm not in a rush, but do you think mom and
dad are wondering where we are..?"
Sonia gasped. "Oh! I
didn't even think about that! Do you think they'll be mad we were
out all night..?"
"Um…" Geo hummed. He thought for a
minute and answered, "I dunno. I mean, they're usually lenient,
but if they think we did what we did… They never really told me not
to, but they never really said how they felt about it, so I don't
know how they'd feel…"
"Um… Then maybe we should head
back. I think we should just act like we fell asleep under the
stars," Sonia suggested. Geo agreed and got dressed, as did Sonia.
After they made sure they had everything they brought with them, they
left the fragment of Peace and headed for the bus stop.
When they
got to the bus stop, Geo decided the check the time on his Sub VG.
"Holy..! It's almost noon! Good thing today is Saturday. No
school. Prez would tear me a new one if I was late…"
"Yeah,
I could kinda imagine that," Sonia said. She grabbed Geo's hand
and pulled him closer, hugging him until the bus arrived. They
embraced each other all the way home, smiling the whole time. When
they got back to Echo Ridge, they quickly walked back to Geo's
house, hoping for the best. They slowly opened the door and walked
inside cautiously.
"Hey, welcome back!" Hope called, making
them both jump. "I wonder when you two lovebirds would find your
way back home." She chuckled. "So, did you two have a nice night?
Either you slept in pretty late, or you spent the night in Netopia,"
she teased.
"Yeah," Geo said. "We went out to Dream Island
to reminisce, and we noticed how clearly you can see the sky there
now. We fell asleep while we were there, though." Geo scratched the
back of his head and smiled feebly.
"Oh?" Hope inquired. "You
guys slept outside? Wasn't that cold?"
"Um… Well, it was,
but then we realized we could take refuge inside the Peace fragment,
which brought back even more memories," he said, still smiling
feebly.
"I SEE," Hope said. "I guess it would be warmer in
there. But wow, that must have been romantic, just the two of you
alone… in there… Oh, Geo, you didn't, did you?" Hope had her
piercing eyes aimed right at Geo.
"Didn't what? I don't
know of anything we could have done in there that we can't do
anywhere else! I mean, like…" Geo grasped. He thought it was
probably already useless to fight it, but he still tried. "I mean,
yeah, we slept in there, but like… not like… you know… Did we…
Sonia..?"
Sonia sighed. "Geo, you're as smooth as
porcupine…" She looked at Hope. "I… I'm sorry,
m-mom…"
Hope looked at Sonia awkwardly for a minute. "Sorry?
Why, I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be with Geo. I mean,
this early would probably be not such a good idea, but I'm not that
strict. Besides, I thought Geo was never gonna get laid at the
rate he was going."
Geo instantly snapped out of his funk when
he heard that last line. "Oh, thanks, mom! First last night,
then now!" He scoffed.
"Lighten up, Geo," Hope said,
smiling. "I was just kidding!" Hope and Sonia laughed, while Geo
pouted.
"I'm not that inept, am I?" he
huffed.
Sonia hugged him. "No, you're not, sweetie," she
said, kissing him. She looked back at Hope. "Still… I am sorry…"
she admitted. "I mean, I enjoyed it, but I'm sorry if I made you
distrust me…"
"Well, I know that you aren't fickle like
most girls, and so I know that you'll be loyal to Geo. Just be
careful, okay? And at least you enjoyed it," she replied, and
laughed.
"Okay! I promise, I'll be loyal to Geo!" she said,
happily. "And of course I enjoyed it! I mean, Geo was wonderful,
amazing, I mean, the way-"
"Uh… uh… uh!" Geo gasped. He
waved his hands wildly.
"Um… Sonia, dear, your personal life
is showing," Hope said, uneasy.
"Oh!" Sonia gasped,
clasping her hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry, I got carried
away!" Her face turned a bright red and a few tears escaped her
eyes.
"it's okay, just…" Hope started, thinking of some
choice words. "Um… I'll limit jokes about dad if you try to
explain what happens during your alone time, deal?"
"Alright!"
Sonia said, cheery again.
"Yes, for the sake of all of us, this
plan works in all directions," Geo said, looking like he was about
to be sick. Sonia giggled and grabbed his hand.
"Why don't we
go up to your room..?" she suggested. "We can figure out what we…
um… finding something to say that won't sound awkward is kinda
hard right now…" She scratched her head. "But um… we'll…
uh… well, we'll figure out something to do!" She forced out the
last few words and ran up the steps. Geo followed shortly after,
wondering about last night, and also what they would do for the next
month.
During that month, they did the usual; shopping,
stargazing, movies. However, just occasionally they would sneak off
to be completely alone, and it's obvious what they would do then.
Each time they would do the unmentionable, they would enjoy it just a
bit more. This was due to both them becoming closer, and because they
were becoming more experienced in the "world of wonderful
things."
Just a couple days short of a full month after the
project began, Kelvin called Geo and Sonia into the AMAKEN Labs. They
agreed about when to meet, which was the next day, just in case
Omega-Xis or Lyra would suffer any aftereffects. Geo and Sonia were
happy to finally be reunited with their alien friends. That night,
not just as a celebration, but as an act of trust, decided to let Geo
sleep in his bed with Sonia rather than on the couch.
"Really?"
Geo asked when Hope gave him permission.
"No, I just feel like
being a meanie tonight and lie to you," Hope said sarcastically.
"Seriously, you suffer from your dad's disease, you get sillier
each and every day." She patted him on the head and went back to
watching TV. Geo ran up the stairs to tell Sonia the good news. He
opened his door and called, "Sonia!"
She squealed. She was
standing in the middle of the room in nothing but her bra and
panties, getting ready to put her pajamas on. "Oh, Geo," she
said, "it's just you." She smiled.
"Sorry, I guess I
shoulda knocked," he admitted.
"No, no, it's okay," she
said, pulling her pajama pants on. It's nothing you haven't seen
before." She winked at him and smiled.
"Erm… right," Geo
said, smiling. "But hey, mom says I can sleep in here
tonight."
"Really?" Sonia said, surprised.
"That's
what I said," he replied. "But I guess she doesn't
mind."
"Alright," Sonia said, crawling into bed. She patted
the bed next to her. "C'mon, Geo!"
He crawled into bed with
her and held her tightly. "I love you," he said gently, and
kissed her.
"I love you, too, Geo," she said, and then
glanced away. "Hey, um… I wanted to talk to you about
something…"
"Yeah..? What is it?" he asked,
curious.
"Um… well…" she said, a bit uneasy. "I… um…"
She glanced around and whispered, "I think I missed my… um… you
know, this month…"
"Say what..?" Geo said, shocked. 'Um…
Stay calm. If you are… um… that… I want you to stay that
way… I mean… I want to keep it…"
"Oh, no, I would never
get rid of it, if I am," she said, relieved a bit. "I… um…
How will we tell mom and dad..?
"Not yet," Geo replied
quickly. "That's how."
Sonia giggled. "Okay, but um… we
really shouldn't keep it a secret too long, okay..?"
"Right…"
Geo said. "I just don't know if now's the best time. But we
should tell them soon, okay?"
"Okay, deal," she said,
smiling. They kissed again and said their 'I love you's' and
cuddled close together. Geo couldn't stop smiling, though.
'Wow…'
he thought. 'I might be a father…'
