[A/N: I really hope this story doesn't turn into something that kicks me in the feels every time I write a new chapter. So do expect some feels in this chapter. The next chapter will be a bit lighter and there will probably be more feels. Reviews are appreciated. Enjoy the chapter!]

While Juliet was watching Akio type something into the computer to take them back to Radiant Garden she saw another option. "What's that one called?"

"That's Space Paranoids."

"Let's go there."

"Ok, as long as we don't go near Commander Sark or the MCP."

After they'd been sucked through another beam of light Juliet was looking around the cell that they'd landed in. "It doesn't look that much different than the Grid."

"Well they're both computer worlds. I'm actually a bit familiar with this world so I could give you a tour."

"Lead on then."

As they walked through the hall Akio couldn't help, but notice the lack of programs. "I wonder where everyone is. I thought at least Yori would be here."

"Who's Yori?"

"A program."

"A female program?"

"Yes."

"Your face is red. She must be pretty."

"It's not that. When I was here with Clementine while we were looking for you Yori was a big help."

"Why were you and Clementine looking for me?"

"Because before we got separated we were traveling together."

"But why were we together in the first place?"

"Well, I'm not exactly sure how you met Erik in the first place, but he told you that if you went and found the Princesses of Heart that you could get home."

"And who are the Princesses of Heart?"

There was a lift in front of them that Akio stepped onto. "That's easy. Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Jasmine, Belle, Alice, and Kairi are the Princesses of Heart."

"So you and Clementine helped me look for them."

"Yep."

"Why? You had nothing to gain from it."

"Just because we had nothing to gain from it. We were your friends so why not help you."

"But because you helped me and didn't take me to Clu you can't go home now. Did you stop to think about that?"

"Yeah, but I weighed my options and thought it would a better idea to help you. What can I say I'm a sucker for a damsel in distress."

Juliet rolled her eyes. "I'm hardly a damsel in distress. I can take care of myself."

The lift stopped at the entrance of another long hall. "Actually, if I remember correctly. A wraith attacked you and I got it off you. And if you don't remember what wraiths are they're these monsters that Erik was using. That dog that attacked you was one of them."

Is all this true?

Every word of it.

"Well, even if Erik was s bad guy before I think he's turned over a new leaf."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because when I was fighting Rinzler he helped me."

"He only helped you because there's something in it for him."

"You have a point. He did say he didn't want to go look for a new body."

Akio was heading into a large round room that had another dark doorway at the far end. "We fought this wraith called the Virus here. It was really goopy looking and florescent green. I think Puck was the one who sent it out too."

"Who's Puck?"

"Of course you don't remember Puck. He was one of Erik's followers. He had two sisters named Antonia and Chiyo, but I don't know what happened to them. They just kinda disappeared after the End of the World was destroyed. But the weird thing was that Puck was trying to help me and Clementine."

"Why?"

Because he was disobedient and was trying to get on my nerves.

"He said it was because he didn't like the life he was leading anymore. In hindsight I guess we should have believed him. If I could find him again I'd apologize for not taking his word for it."

"What about Antonia?"

"Screw Antonia. There wasn't one decent bone in her body."

"And Chiyo?"

"Well at first I thought she wasn't that bad since she wasn't off causing trouble. In fact she seemed really concerned about Erik since he was in the process of dying…..something about how his body couldn't handle the darkness in his heart anymore. Now however I'm starting to think she's just as bad as Erik."

They were getting close to the doorway.

"Why? Because she attacked me? You know you really shouldn't concern yourself with my well being. You should look out for yourself instead of others."

Akio was very quickly getting sick of Juliet's 'I don't give a shit about anyone and they shouldn't give a shit about me either attitude.' "Well, there's a very simple reason for why I concern myself with you and I think I speak for Clementine too when I say this. We're your friends. Friends look out for each other. You don't know how many times I kicked myself for leaving you behind. I couldn't help, but think it was my fault that Erik got a hold you because we got in a fight then you went off on your own. That's my reasoning. Take it or leave it."

Juliet didn't have a good reply that and continued to follow him into the room at the end of the tower. "You shouldn't blame yourself for what happened to me. It was probably me being stupid and narrow minded. I have a bit of a problem with that. I almost left Woody behind when he thought it would be better to go to some museum in Tokyo then be loved by a child. Where are we anyway?"

"I/0 Tower. And you know when we get back to Radiant Garden you should really apologize to Clementine. We could use her."

"What do you mean we? There is no we in this? I'm going to go to the other worlds by myself to fix whatever it is that I messed up."

"Have you not been listening to me? We're your friends. Neither me nor Clementine are going to let you go out on your own again. And especially not now that you've got Erik in your heart and Chiyo foaming at the mouth to take a chunk out of you."

"You want to come with so badly then fine come with, but you better be able to keep up." Juliet walked back out of the I/0 Tower heading for the docks that were on the other side of the room. "What are those?"

"The solar sailors, but let's not use them."

"Why not?"

"Because we'll get too close to Sark and the MCP."

"I'm not scared of them."

"I'm sure you aren't, but let's not go there."

"I'm going. You can stay here if you want."

Akio watched her walk towards the dock before going after her. "I told you I wouldn't leave you behind again and I'm not going to this time either. Besides I'm sure the two of us could take on Sark and the MCP is push came to shove."

"Good, I'm glad you're seeing things my way. Now how do you operate this?"

"Let me do that."

Juliet was still feeling curious about how exactly she'd become friends with Akio and Clementine since she thought they should mind their own business, but kept her mouth shut since she didn't want to hear another speech.

After a little while of flying Akio docked the solar sailor at their destination. "Well here we are. It doesn't look like Sark is around."

"What about the MCP?"

"It's in there." He was pointing down the hall at a large white building.

"Why doesn't it come out?"

"It doesn't move. It never moves."

"Sounds lazy. What does MCP even stand for?"

"Master Control Program." Akio could hear boots coming towards them and could only guess it was Commander Sark since they hadn't seen any other programs. "You see that guy in orange coming towards us?"

"Yeah."

"That's Commander Sark."

Like how she'd met Clu, Juliet wasn't blown away by Sark. "He just looks like a guy."

"He's a commander."

"So?"

Sark was now close enough to get a good look at Juliet and Akio. "And what are two programs doing in these parts?" He had a smug look on his face that gave off the impression that he thought he was better than them."

Juliet really didn't like the look Sark was giving them. "We're here to see the MCP."

"Why? The MCP is very busy and can't be bothered with two insignificant programs."

"Busy doing what? Sleeping?"

A muscle in Sark's lip twitched.

"Juliet, what are you doing? You're making him angry."

"The MCP is a very busy program since its running the system. Any business you have with the MCP you can tell me and I'll tell it."

"Look Sark, I think there's something you don't understand I want to see the MCP and you aren't going to get in my way." She tried to step around him when he blocked her.

"Actually program, I think you're the one who doesn't understand. No one sees the MCP unless I say they do."

"Well then if I can't fight the MCP I'll fight you."

Akio quickly pulled Juliet back. "I am so sorry about her Commander Sark normally Juliet is very friendly and would never prosperously pick a fight with you or the MCP." He tightened his grip on her arm when she tried to pull away.

Sark's expression didn't change. "Make sure you keep her under control. Renegade programs aren't worth my time."

"Say that again."

"Juliet shut up." With a bit of difficulty Akio pulled her back to the solar sailor.

"Why'd you stop me?"

"Because you don't need to pick a fight with everyone you see."

Too bad could have been fun.

During the ride back to the I/0 Tower, Juliet didn't talk to Akio since the only things that kept coming to mind were negative. She still didn't engage him when they were walking back to the computer in the cell.

"You want to be pissed at me fine be pissed, but I did for your own good." Akio walked over to the computer and brought up the menu to get back to Radiant Garden.
