-Miyu's Antique Shop-
Miyu grunted as she picked a box up and walked over to the other side before setting it down with several others. "Ok, that's the last of the Death Masks….now," she turned to ten more boxes. "I just need to move those ones."
As she walked over to get to them, that was the moment a certain netbattler was walking by.
Ding ding
She turned and saw Lan. "Hello again Lan, here for another Netbattle with Skullman?" 'Please say no.'
"No, I was just walking by and saw you were busy. Why are you moving so many boxes around?"
"Well I got this shipment of Chinese Death Masks, but I ordered two not twenty and well," she pointed to the boxes. "It's really difficult with so little help around here."
"Need a hand?"
"Yes," she sighed before trying to lift a box. "If you don't mind handling several objects that might be cursed."
"C-Curse?" he spoke with a gulp.
"Yes. But I could just be a Net Appliance in the shape of a mask." She chuckled darkly. "With virus' too." 'I love teasing people with curses and such. It's funny.'
"Don't worry, I got this." he grinned trying to act brave as he lifted one of the boxes and moved it over to the others.
"Thanks but," she chuckled. "That was the wrong box."
"Wha?"
"That was a box full of pickled salamanders." She said while Lan shivered at that. "The death masks are towards your right."
"Oh, right, I knew that."
"Sure you did." She deadpanned while picking up a box. "Now let's get this done before lunch, oh and if you help out quickly I will pay for lunch for the both of us."
"You got a deal!"
(Two hours later)
"...ok," Miyu sweatdropped as Lan struggled to pick up the last box. "Are you sure you don't need a second pair of hands for this one?" 'It looks pretty heavy.'
"N-No! I got it!" he grunted slowly getting it up and lugged it over to the others.
"Wait!" Miyu called out before a stack of boxes fell on Lan with a crash and a shatter of glass, thankfully he wasn't hurt...well except his pride. "Ouch, are you alright Lan?"
"I'm fine." He got out while spirals appeared around his eyes. "Wow...the rooms spinning."
Miyu chuckled at that before helping him up. "That's good because I didn't want to be the one paying for your funeral."
"Gee, thanks." he replied with sarcasm.
"Anytime." She laughed before walking over to the back room to get her purse. "So Lan, what do you want to eat?"
"Mmmm, I'll let you choose."
"How gentlemanly." She smiled. "Well I'm kind of in the mood for some burgers. Maybe with some wine as well."
"I didn't know you drank wine." he spoke in surprise.
"Well Edgar Allen Poe drank wine so," she smiled. "That's what I drink as well, especially aged wine."
"Well it's the ladies choice." he chuckled.
Miyu smiled at that before both walked out the door.
-nearby burger place-
Both kids sat in a booth while enjoying their burgers, but Lan went with a regular soda than wine like Miyu.
"So Lan?" Muyi smiled while drinking her wine. "How's life?"
"Same ol same old. Net battle, school, homework." he listed off.
"And Megaman?" She asked with interest. "Is he still nervous of Skullman?"
"Uh, a little bit." chuckled Lan with a sweatdrop.
"Good, that means he's building character." she smiled before drinking some more of her wine. "You know, I haven't seen you often after you came last year to my shop, why's that Lan?"
"Well I've just been real busy trying to help Megaman with Netcity."
Miyu chuckled at that before thinking of something. 'If Lan is now famous...he must have enemies at every corner. Or he might be…' She gulped while thinking of Lan in a speedo. 'A weirdo celebrity!'
"Uh, Miyu? You alright?"
"Y-Yea I'm fine." She said shaking her head. "Um...what were you saying again?"
"I was just saying how me and Megaman have been trying to keep Netcity safe.
"Oh right," she nervously chuckled. "So it wasn't about Megaman being scared of ghosts?"
"Uh…..no."
"Right." She chuckled before getting up. "Um I need to...check my piano out...see you later Lan." And with that she walked away before ducking behind a dumpster. "Ok...better make sure Lan's not a speedo celebrity or anything of the sorts." 'And I need to question why that's the first thing to make me curious about.'
(A little bit later)
Lan was walking down the street as he felt that something was making his spine chill to the bones. He looked over his shoulder, but didn't see anything there.
'Ok...that was weird.' He thought before Megaman started talking to him.
"Hey Lan? Are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
"Because you look like Iceman with a cold." He joked.
"I do not!"
"Yes you do." He then noticed something. "Um Lan. Did you gain any new fans by chance?"
"No, I don't think I have any, why?"
"Because someone's following us." Megaman said as a figure ducked behind a corner.
Lan looked behind him, but saw no one. "You sure about that Megaman?"
"I'm as sure as Bass has bat ears." He deadpanned. "That and you have an obsession with burgers."
"I do not!"
"Yes you do!"
As they quarreled, the figure sighed in relief. 'Good, they didn't see me….but Lan has an obsession with burgers...wow.'
Lan sighed and kept on going down the road. Only to feel the chill again.
"Lan. Your shivering again." Megaman said with concern. "Are you sure you didn't get any fans?"
"What does my shivering have to do with fans?"
"Well," he sighed. "They might either be obsessive fans or….stalkers."
Lan raised an eyebrow just as Megaman saw a head duck back around the corner.
"There it is again!"
'Crap. Not good!' The figure thought while hiding behind a wall.
Lan shivered before he started running.
'There he goes!' The figure thought before turning a corner. 'Maybe if I can cut him off I can see what Lan's 'really' doing.'
'I can lose them around this corner!'
As both ran they made it to a crossroad and well...they bumped into each other while also accidentally kissing each other on the lips.
'Miyu!?'
'W-What?!' She blushed before abruptly breaking the kiss and turning her head away from Lan. "Um….h-hi. L-Lan…"
"M...Miyu….wait, were you following me?!"
Miyu gulped. "Um...well...maybe?"
"Called it!" spoke Megaman.
"Megaman," Miyu growled. "Be quiet or Skullman will come and 'play with you' like the last time we met."
"Ah!"
"Good." She grinned before realizing the situation and blushed. "S-Sorry about that Lan."
"Uh...no it's fine."
"But...I stalked you." She blushed.
"Well, maybe we can just forget it happened."
Miyu blushed. "O-Ok...even if you stole my first kiss…" 'So embarrassing!'
"R-R-Really?" he asked with his own blush.
"Y-Yes…." She said. "It...was my first k-k-kiss."
'I can't believe I took it.'
Megaman looked at them before grinning. "You like him."
"S-Shut up!" Miyu blushed. "...ok...maybe...a...a...little…"
Lan looked at her in shock with his mouth hanging open.
"Lan?" Miyu asked while still red. "Are you ok?" 'Why did I blurt that out?'
"I...I'm just surprised."
"About a woman of twenty liking a student?" She said with a smile.
"Wait, you're about twenty?" he spoke with wide eyes.
"Yes? What did you think I was?" She frowned.
"I thought you were just a year or two older than me."
"Well," she smiled. "I do look good for a twenty year old right?"
"Definitely."
Miyu giggled at that before unexpectedly hugging him. "Thank Lan."
He smiled and hugged her back.
Megaman looked on before chuckling. "Lan's got a girlfriend."
"Oh shut it." blushed Lan.
"Don't forget to," he grinned sadistically. "Use 'protection'."
"Well since we're together now, I think you and Skullman should say hi." smiled Miyu.
Megaman screamed in fear before fainting.
"Oh and Lan," she grinned before kissing him on the lips again. "How about we have an official date, maybe see a movie?"
"Sounds great."
Miyu smiled as the two walked, hand and hand, towards the theater. And to think, it all started with stacking boxes.
