Little Heartbeats II

Read on AO3

Behold, the long-awaited sequel no one asked for, but is getting anyway.

Also, Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

He awoke to the sound of snow thumping loudly against the balcony door, slowly rising from his bed and the blankets that covered his body. Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Lan turned to notice several imprints on the glass where several snowballs had struck, partly blocking out the moonlight that shone upon his room. Looking around, he was surprised (and relieved) that the noise hadn’t disturbed MegaMan from sleep mode.

What kind of maniac throws snowballs in the middle of the night, and what do they even want from me, he thought as he trudged to the door. The moment he opened it, he found himself being blasted by a rush of cold air, causing him to shiver. It almost reminded him of the time he’d braved a fierce snowstorm trying to restore the weather in Sharo, risking his body heat while MegaMan lit the Cyber Torches.

Well, I’m not going to stand around and freeze to death, he thought with a grumble as he shut the door and locked it as tightly as he could. He started to turn around to get back to sleep, only for the snowballs to resume once more.

Letting out a groan, he returned to open the door once more right as a stray snowball flew right in his face. Lan quickly dodged it and watched as the snowball slammed against his collection of action figures. Some of them wobbled in place, while others fell with a resounding thud.

“You gotta be joking…” Lan sighed, putting a hand to his forehead. All that time spent organizing his collection, only for it to be partly wasted. At least none of them broke, including that limited edition Owl Guard figurine. Lord knows how much Zenny he’d spent on that figurine, and having it broken meant his efforts would have been all for naught!

Well, putting the figurines back in place would have to wait until tomorrow. Right now, he needed to find out the cause behind those snowballs.

“Finally awake and showing your sleepy face?” a familiar girlish voice called out to him from below. Lan turned around to find none other than his dear friend Mayl standing below the balcony. Her ruby eyes were shimmering as she grinned from ear to ear.

“M-Mayl?! What are you even doing here?! It’s the freakin’ middle of the night!”

The girl quickly shushed him before beckoning him to come down. Lan sighed as he went back inside and closed the door. “She better owe me an explanation,” he muttered to himself as he slipped on his bandana. He then headed downstairs to put on his coat and boots before opening the door and stepping outside.

To his astonishment, a gentle snowfall had descended upon ACDC Town, blanketing the whole world in pure white. Up above, the moon was as bright and silvery as ever, coupled with the glittering stars that dashed across the endless black sky. His breath caught in his throat and his hands unconsciously clasped over his chest as his heart began to beat at a slightly faster tempo.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

Lan stifled a yelp of surprise upon hearing Mayl’s voice, causing him to turn around to find his best friend right beside him.

“M-Mayl, don’t sneak up on me like that!” Lan scolded her. “You almost gave me a heart attack!”

But Mayl only giggled. He looked so adorable when he was flustered like this – that was one of the reasons why she liked him…more than he realized.

“Sorry about that,” she said. “But there’s something I want to show you. I think you’ll love it!”

She was always like that. Lan had known this aspect of her for as long as he could remember. When they were little and their friendship was nothing more than a bud, she’d take him wherever she wanted to take him, show him what she wanted to show him, and more. He’d been lonely for much of his early life – a fact made more prominent when he learned that MegaMan was his identical twin brother Hub, who died of HBD when they were only one. But he knew he’d be lying if he said he didn’t appreciate Mayl’s company.

Back then, Lan was much more timid and sheltered, with his only “friends” being his dad’s colleagues from SciLab. Mayl, on the other hand, was much more brave and outgoing, and also a secret fantasy nerd. A complete contrast to their present selves, except for the third aspect. Lan never stopped hanging around SciLab, and Mayl continued being a secret fantasy nerd.

With little warning, Mayl grabbed Lan’s hand and began dragging him down the streets. Lan opened his mouth to protest against her act of throwing him off-balance, only to quickly close it upon laying his eyes on her smile – that damned, beautiful smile that always seemed to make his ears burn and his heart race these days (and all without him knowing or understanding why).

Without even thinking, he gently squeezed her hand back as she continued dragging him along. She wanted to show him something she thought he might like; there was not a snowball’s chance in hell he was going to ruin it over something so trivial!

As the two passed by snow-covered buildings and trees, Lan kept his gaze trained on the snowflakes that lazily fell from the sky, noticing the contrast between now and during the snowstorm crisis in Sharo. It made him wonder how Raika and SearchMan were doing back there. Perhaps he should write an e-mail to them sometime, even though he and Raika weren’t exactly what one would call friends.

“And here we are!” Mayl’s chipper voice snapped Lan out of his reverie. He looked down and let out a choked gasp to find a view most beautiful.

There, right before the two, was a sprawling lake encrusted with white snow. Its surface was clear and reflective as any mirror as starlight and moonlight danced upon it, while snowflakes whirled about it in their slow movements. Not a creature was stirring, save for the occasional hoot of an owl or two, and there was nothing that could disturb the stillness of the lake.

All things considered, it was a view and a moment most resplendent.

…Until he decided, against his better judgement, to open his mouth.

“So…you brought me here to tell me that you found yet another possible portal to that realm of witches?”

He was quickly punished by a sharp jab in the ribs, followed by a swift kick to the back of his legs that knocked him off-balance. He grunted in pain as his back met the cold, hard earth, knocking whatever air he had stored in his lungs straight out of them.

He lay there, wheezing for a few moments before slowly sitting up to brush out some snow that had gotten into his hair. He then turned to glare up at the girl, who had turned away with her arms crossed and a pouty expression on her face. “What the hell was that for, Mayl??”

“You’re such a moron, Lan,” Mayl simply retorted. “I didn’t bring you here just to show off some portal!”

“Then what?” Lan rose back to his feet and dusted the snow off his pajama pants, muttering half to himself about how he was going to have them air-dried in the morning.

Just as quickly as she had lost her temper, Mayl was able to regain it as she looked out at the lake. “I heard this place was at its most beautiful in winter, when the sky was clear and there was no one around,” she explained. “I’ve always wanted to see it for myself, but never really got the chance to do so…until now.”

Lan raised an eyebrow. “And you decided to bring me here because…?”

There was a pause as Mayl shuffled her feet in the snow, sprinkling the fluffy pink trim of her boots with a powdery white. She then looked up bashfully at him with a light pink blush on her face.

“Lan,” she began. “Do you know what today is?”

Lan found himself absentmindedly flicking a snowflake off his nose. “No…?”

The girl let out a sigh. “Of course you wouldn’t,” she muttered half to herself before turning to face him. “It’s Valentine’s Day!”

Oh.

Oh crap.

He always forgot about THAT day! The day when he would receive so many cards that he’d go completely speechless, and so many chocolates that he could stuff himself full if he wanted to (though not without receiving a scolding from MegaMan). He knew Mayl would have plenty of competition that day, with all the other girls fawning over him – except Yai, who saw him as more of an older brother figure.

He turned away as he put a hand to his chest, his heart pounding a little bit more than usual.

Mayl frowned. “Is there something wrong, Lan,” she asked.

“W-well,” the boy stammered. “It’s got nothing to do with you, or the scenery. And I do appreciate coming out here with you, even if you had to drag me out here in the middle of the night…but…”

How could he formulate his next thoughts into words? It had been a few months since the fall of the Nebula crime syndicate and the permanent deletion of Nebula Grey. Dr. Regal had been completely reformed through mysterious circumstances, but he and Dr. Hikari were certainly on better and more friendly terms now that they were colleagues in SciLab.

Despite all that, however, Lan just couldn’t shake the feeling of regret and guilt that was building up inside of him. All this time, he’d been hiding so much from Mayl, Dex, Yai…even his own mother, whom he’d disobeyed for the sake of working alongside Chaud and Baryl to rescue his father and put a stop to Regal’s abuse of the SoulNet. In the end, they did succeed…but Lan was worried that he had put a wedge between himself and Mayl in the process.

He recalled how upset and distressed she was when she learned the truth. The only thing he could do was comfort her with words of reassurance that he would rescue Roll, GutsMan and Glyde, and all the other Navis who were corrupted by Regal’s Dark Chips, and that he would come back to her…and even then, he knew these words were just illusions to keep her out of any more danger than she was in now.

He turned his attention to the distant horizon, taking note of an owl that had just crossed his line of sight before vanishing into the dark canopy of the trees.

“It’s not on you, Mayl,” he spoke rather absentmindedly. “It’s on me.”

Mayl blinked in surprise. “What do you mean?”

Lan let out a shaky breath as he felt his eyes begin to water. “During the SoulNet incident, I’ve been nothing but selfish. I lied about teaming up with Chaud and Baryl, I hid the fact that I was operating within Higsby’s chip shop to take down Nebula…hell, I even disobeyed my own mother about staying put! And all because I was too weak and selfish to stop Regal from hurting the one closest to me! If I hadn’t asked Dad to bring you, Dex and Yai along, Roll and the others wouldn’t have been kidnapped, and the whole mess wouldn’t have happened to begin with!”

You don’t deserve me.

Tears were now streaming down his cheeks, but he pushed himself to continue. “I’ve done nothing but screw things up. I couldn’t protect my family. I couldn’t protect my friends. I couldn’t even protect myself or Hub. I pushed everyone away to try and change who I really was.”

He lowered his head and wiped the tears from his eyes. “Chaud was right…I’ll always be just a burden.”

You deserve better.

The feeling of Mayl’s pinkie finger intertwining with his own caught Lan’s attention as she inched closer to him. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Lan, and you were never a burden,” she told him as gently as she could. “You did the best you could – no one can blame you for that.”

She leaned over to rest her head on his shoulder as she bumped her wrist against his, smiling softly. “The fact that you’re still here is more than enough. After all, you mean the world to me. I brought you here to remind you that there’s more to life than stopping cyber terrorists.”

A light blush appeared on Lan’s cheeks as her kind words touched him. He could almost swear the beating of his heart filling his ears as it hammered within his ribcage.

“I…I don’t know what to say,” he whispered.

Without warning, she suddenly wrapped her free arm around him, pulling him in for a hug. Lan was completely caught off-guard at first, but then slowly returned the embrace. He felt a warm feeling overcome him as he did, and he couldn’t help but smile a little.

“By the way,” Mayl said as they pulled away and she placed a finger on the tip of his nose.

“U-um, yes?”

“No more putting yourself down and calling yourself a burden,” she admonished him. “Or I’m going to get really mad.”

Lan gulped, but smiled sheepishly and nodded. “A-as you wish, captain,” he replied.

His only response was a silly little giggle that escaped the girl’s mouth.

* * *

After what seemed like a long time, Lan and Mayl decided it was time to head home. Though Lan would have liked to spend just a little more time at that moonlit lake, he also knew that if stayed there too long, MegaMan would likely get suspicious.

The two of them spent the entire return trip home in complete silence, taking in the gentle snowfall that surrounded them and the quiet, snowy town of ACDC. The only lights to guide them other than the moon or stars were the streetlights that illuminated their path, and even then there wasn’t anyone around except for themselves.

All the while, Lan kept Mayl close to him, his hand held in hers. He could feel his heart thumping a happy tune in his chest as his cheeks became flushed. Normally, such display of affection from Mayl would have left him feeling bewildered and confused. But tonight was not the case.

Tonight, he just felt happy having her by his side.

Plus, Valentine’s Day was coming up. Maybe for once he should try and get a bit more involved this year (provided he didn’t die of secondhand embarrassment first).

“Well, here we are,” Mayl’s voice broke the peaceful silence as they finally arrived back home.

Lan let out a sad sigh as he reluctantly let go of her hand, knowing that this would be a parting of ways for now. But at the same time, he also knew that they would meet again in school.

“I had a lovely time going out with you,” Mayl chirped, drawing his attention back to her. She had her hands behind her back as she smiled her brightest yet (damn, she could outshine both the sun and moon with that smile if she could!) “Even if it meant having to wake you up in the middle of the night.”

Lan remained speechless. Then, he chuckled. “I-it’s alright,” he replied, averting his eyes and clutching his right arm with his left hand. “I had a nice time, too.”

Mayl smiled, drawing out those adorable dimples on her face as she did.

Then let out a yawn.

“Well,” she said drowsily. “I’d better get some sleep. You’d better, too.”

Lan chuckled. “Heh, yeah,” he commented, rubbing the back of his head with one hand. “I bet MegaMan is probably out of sleep mode and wondering where I snuck off to.”

Mayl giggled. “I bet Roll is, too. Well, see you.”

She then turned on her heel and began to walk towards the front door of her house. Lan did the same, but only took a few steps before he paused.

“H-hey, um…Mayl?”

“Hm?” Mayl turned to him, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

Lan took a deep breath and turned to face her, this time with a much more genuine smile. “Thanks for what you told me back there,” he said. “You…” He turned away and blushed while maintaining eye contact with her. “You mean the world to me, too.”

Mayl’s eyes widened with surprise at this statement. She hadn’t expected Lan to say something like that, especially after all that emotional turmoil he went through.

Still, she couldn’t help but smile warmly. She was glad she was able to at least help him in her own way, even if it wasn’t what either of them had expected. It felt like a weight had been lifted off both their shoulders, and they could finally rest easy with the knowledge that Nebula was gone for good.

“I’m glad,” she said. “Well, see you tomorrow.”

Lan nodded as she watched her disappear behind the front door of her house. “Yeah…see you.”

He stood for just a little while longer before a sleepy feeling came over him. He decided it was best to get home and get some rest.

As he approached the door, he took one last look outside, taking in the moonlight that shone upon the streets, and smiled. Tonight might not have been what he had expected in the slightest, but he knew in his heart that it was one he would treasure for as long as he lived…just being that that moonlit lake, alone with the one person who mattered the most to him.

Durgon actually bought the Zero/ZX legacy collection? Character development right there! Also, I do think they should make Battle Network 7. Yes! With Adult Lan and Mayl. Or maybe Lan's daughter would be the next protagonist and her Net Navi might be Rockman X!

I mean, I enjoyed the Zero series to some degree, and was curious about the ZX series but just never had any of them. So hey, convenient place to have them all.

As for EXE with X characters... ehh... If they stuck more to the "feel" of the EXE series, perhaps. But I feel like there's plenty they could still do with classic characters, I mean, there's a lot of RMs that never got Navi counterparts.

EDIT : I was GOING to say I was kind of surprised they didn’t go in a direction like that with Starforce, making the opponents Navi versions of Mavericks, given how many animal based constellations there are.... but then realized “yeah but I don’t think there’s constellations of an octopus, a chameleon, a penguin, etc.” It does make me a little curious though how many Mavericks that COULD have worked for...

@formerchaoslord || [x]

Lan noticed Dingo seemed a bit hesitant, but was a relieved he agreed. It wasn't like he hated the other Lan, he just wanted him to treat the other Mayl better. Was he going too far? Should he have asked Dingo to just talk to him rather than punch him? Maybe the thought of Mayl's feelings getting hurt made him mad behind all reason so he didn't think clearly.

"Alright. What do you need? I'll do what I can.

"And... If it makes you feel better, you can just give Netto a stern talking to. And tell him it came from me... If he'll believe that, anyway."

Dingo hadn’t really thought about it that far. It seemed natural that Lan would repay him for this favor, but Dingo wasn’t going to accept any payment before he’d completed his side of the mission.

“I’ll see what I ask from you once I’m done with the punch,” Dingo decided. “If you can think of anything your world has than mine doesn’t, I’ll take that.”

“Hey, you asked for a punch! So that’s what I’ll give him! And y’know, we’ve been to a parallel world before, so I’m pretty sure he’ll believe me. We did meet some people who also exist in our world, so... Maybe he’ll think twice before he does anything stupid, unless he wants a bunch of Netto clones to come smack him down.”

🎼 for Welch

🎼 for Maylu careless whispers

🎼 for megaman MM2 wily stage 1

🎼 for Luna (Sorry Geo) My idea would either Patkaiser's theme or the school rules song for British assemblies.

🎼 for burnerman, blazing internet.

Muse Theme Song Meme

(Technically, I'm supposed to pick the themes, but I'll let it slide since it kind of works out in the end.)

youtube

"This here is my theme and the theme of the Item Creation Shop! Eureka!"

"And Anon... No. Just no. I love Lan, but we're still twelve. We're not doing anything beyond dating, hugging, and a few kisses on the cheek. I'd have a theme with peaceful piano music playing..."

(Currently can't find a theme for Mayl at the moment. Once I do, I'll upload it.)

"Seriously, Anons! Remember that this is a family friendly Christian blog!"

"I do like the choice you have for me, though. Can't go wrong with that classic theme. I do like this one as well..."

"And can we even do a theme for Luna when she's not a Muse on here? (The Patkaiser theme was pretty awesome, though.)"

"Nice! Hope Fireman doesn't mind me borrowing his theme. Here was my second choice..."

I need a new MMBN game because I love megaman battle network! And why MMBN is done? They can make a new generation for exemple Patch Adventure ( patch is son of Lan and Mayl )

Well, there’s always Chrono X if you’re looking for a story-based continuation of the MMBN series.

Little Heartbeats - Part 2

Here’s the long-awaited Part 2, which focuses on Mayl’s side.

The sound of piano playing filled the Sakurai household that evening. Having already finished her dinner and dutifully done her homework for tomorrow, all that was left for Mayl was to relax and take it easy until it was time for bed. And what better way to do that than to do the one hobby she was most passionate about?

Closing her eyes, she concentrated as best as she could on the music she produced. Her fingers, long and slender, darted about this way and that, tapping on the keys to let out harmonious notes, one after the other. All the same, she hummed a little tune to herself, a series of light reverberations deep within her throat, as if trying to stick to the music.

…And that was when a mental image began to produce itself in her head – a recent memory of what happened today.

“Ack!” Her eyes flew open upon hearing the sound of an incorrect key being pressed. She sighed as she tapped a few keys to get the melody going again.

“And I was doing so well, too…” she muttered sadly.

“Mayl? Is everything alright, dear?”

The girl turned her head to find her mother approaching her, her eyes filled with concern.

“Y-yeah, I’m fine,” Mayl replied, turning back to the piano. “Just missed my cue, that’s all.” Her fingers continued to pressed down on the keys, looking for a passageway back into the song. She didn’t notice the woman sitting down on the empty spot of the bench next to her until she felt a larger hand gently hold her own. She turned her head and looked up at big brown eyes – a deep, earthy colour, streaked with ruby and gold.

“Mayl…” Nazuna’s voice was much deeper than her daughter’s, but it was always filled with love and worry. “Is there something you’d like to talk about? You’ve been awfully quieter than you usually are. I could tell, even during dinner.”

Mayl bit her lower lip. This was what she feared the most: having to talk about what happened at the dinner table. Especially with the recent attacks committed by the WWW – the kidnapping of a scientist’s son and then blackmailing him into shutting down the water treatment plant, the hijacking of the school’s network, the oven incidents (in which her dear friend Lan had been involved)...and now, the traffic incident that happened today. And with each incident occurrence, Nazuna’s worries for her daughter’s safety only increased more and more.

What would happen if Nazuna found out that her only daughter almost died because she was trapped in a bus that was set to blow up due to a bomb program? Would she still allow her to hang out with her friends? Or would they have to move out to Netopia to be with Mayl’s father? Where Nazuna believed they would be much safer, in a country far away from the WWW?

Mayl had no choice but to admit to her mother everything that had happened to her today. Even if it meant increasing her mother’s worries even more.

She took a deep breath to gather her wits before finally speaking up. “I went shopping in the city with Lan today,” she began. Her voice was peppered with nervousness, but she still continued on. “I wanted to get a birthday present for Yai. But when we got there, the city was overrun with traffic jams and other accidents. And as if that wasn’t enough, I got myself trapped in a bus that had a bomb program planted in its network.”

Nazuna’s eyes widened with horror. “A bomb program in the bus?” she gasped. “Mayl, that could have been dangerous!”

Mayl nodded. “I know,” she replied, her voice quiet. “I was really scared. I thought I was going to die for sure.” Her hands balled up into fists on the piano keys. “But I had to do something. So, I sent in Roll to try and stop the bomb program and the Navi behind it.”

“And did you?”

Mayl shook her head. “We did our best, but the Navi was just too strong for Roll. In the end, it was Lan and MegaMan who stepped in to delete the Navi and stop the bomb program.” She let out a shaky breath. “Still, I really wish I’d been a little stronger, and had more experience with NetBattling. Then…maybe I…could have…”

She felt her mother’s hand cup her cheek and instinctively leaned against it. She looked up to face her warm gaze and her soft smile.

“Shh,” she gently shushed her daughter. “It’s alright, sweetie. Take a few deep breaths.”

Mayl did as she was told, filling her lungs with as much air as she could before expelling it again. She then leaned closer and wrapped her arms around Nazuna’s waist, and pressed her ear closely to listen to her heart. It was something she used to do back when she was little, with her mother’s heartbeat being her source of comfort whenever she was scared.

Speaking of heartbeats… Mayl closed her eyes and allowed the memories of the incident’s aftermath to resurface. She remembered running up to Lan, her whole body trembling with fear at the thought of almost being blown up. But it was Lan’s words of concern that brought her back to reality, and made her realize that she was still here.

That she was alive.

She knew she had to show him that she was grateful. But she didn’t know why she had suddenly thrown her arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug. Nor was she even aware of herself when she nuzzled her face against his. But the moment she heard his heart hammering within his ribcage, and felt her own heart flutter in her chest, that was when the realization struck her…that she was at her happiest with him around.

She smiled warmly at the memory as her cheeks became flushed bright pink. It was a memory Mayl wanted to cherish for as long as she lived, and one she never wanted to let go.

“I bet you were thankful that Lan was there when he was.” Nazuna’s voice broke into her reverie.

The young girl tightened her grip and looked away shyly. “I was,” she replied. “And I made sure of it.” Sure, Lan was brash, loud, occasionally a little blunt, and lazy with his schoolwork. But he was also loyal when it came to his friends, and brave in the face of danger, even in situations that would otherwise scare him.

“He definitely sounds like someone sweet,” her mother went on. “And I most certainly wouldn’t mind having someone like him as my future son-in-law.”

Mayl’s face went bright red as she pushed herself away from her mother’s embrace. “M-MOM!!!” she squeaked. “Isn’t it a bit too soon to be talking about that?!”

Nazuna only giggled. “I know, I know,” she replied. Of course, deep down, she knew how close Lan and Mayl were since their kindergarten days. Especially given that Lan’s mother, Haruka, was also her friend.

Mayl could only let out a groan of embarrassment as she buried her face in her hands. “I swear, you are the worst! Just absolutely awful!”

Nazuna smiled as she affectionately ruffled the top of her daughter’s head. “I know,” she answered. “But you know that’s what you like the most about me.” She leaned back. “But do tell me something, Mayl… Do you fancy him?��

Mayl peeked her eyes out from her hands and averted her gaze. “I…”

How was she supposed to respond to such a bold question? She knew the answer was all too obvious. And besides, it wasn’t like she was trying to hide her feelings for Lan – quite the opposite, as a matter of fact!

But the real question was, did he feel the same for her? The flushed look on his face should have given her an answer, yet he somehow managed to carry on like it wasn’t a big deal.

“I…guess I’ve always had feelings for Lan,” she finally said, moving her hands over her heart. “I don’t know why, but…whenever we’re alone together, I get these butterflies in my stomach – not the sick ones, but the ones that make me happy.”

“And does he know about this?” her mother asked, leaning just a little too close for comfort.

Mayl sighed. “That’s the problem – I don’t know if he does,” she admitted. “He’s just so dense about it, I don’t think he’s even aware. I want to make it more obvious to him, but…”

“Mayl…” Nazuna rested a hand on Mayl’s shoulder, prompting the girl to look up at her mother’s eyes once more. “It’s good that you have feelings for someone. And it’s okay to not know if he’ll return those feelings or not. All it means is that you have a lot of love to give.” She smiled. “The only thing left to do now is to give him some time. He’ll understand eventually.”

Mayl wasn’t sure what to make of that. Give Lan time to understand? But what if he ended up with another girl? Then what would become of their relationship?

Nazuna glanced back over her shoulder at the front window, noticing the last of the sunlight was fading. “Looks like it’s getting late,” she said. She moved her hand from Mayl’s shoulder to affectionately ruffle her hair. “Go and get ready for bed. Don’t want to be late for school tomorrow.”

Mayl smiled and nodded as she closed the piano before trotting her way up the stairs. All the while, her mother’s advice kept replaying in her mind.

“Give him some time. He’ll understand eventually.”

She sighed. I hope you’re right, Mom, she thought. I’ll try and give him some time.

* * *

“…And what was her reaction?”

“She was afraid, at first. I thought for sure she’d go into a full-blown panic or something. But I think she was also glad that Lan was there when he was.”

Roll.EXE sighed as she sat cross-legged in Mayl’s pink PET, listening to the shuffling of clothing as Mayl changed into her pajamas. “Well, you know how Mom is,” she said. “Especially once the WWW began their attacks.”

She recalled how, during the oven incidents, Nazuna had been periodically checking the oven to make sure it didn’t try to catch fire. Or how she had to stock up on extra water bottles for the town just in case there was a total blackout (a good call on her end, given the WWW’s attack on the water treatment plant). Although Roll was close to Mayl like a sister, she knew Nazuna for much longer – after all, she had been Nazuna’s former Navi, customized and passed down shortly after Mayl turned ten.

Mayl stepped out of her walk-in closet, dusting off her pink-and-purple striped pajamas. “To be honest, I was more worried that we would have to move out to Netopia to be with Dad,” she said, removing her hairpin and putting it next to the mirror. “Probably where she thinks we’ll be safer.”

Roll frowned. “Would Netopia be safe from the WWW?” she asked. “There could be people working for them, too.”

Mayl flinched at the thought of it. She hadn’t considered the possibility of WWW members being from other countries than Electopia. After all, most of the attacks so far were orchestrated by Electopian adults. But if there were Netopians who were also working for the cyber terrorist organization as well…

No! She shook her head to clear that thought away. Don’t focus on that possibility! Just stick to the here and now. That was the best thing she could do.

Roll seemed to share her sentiment, as she looked down with a soft smile on her face. “To be honest,” she said, her voice almost whispery. “I really am glad Mega was there when he was. Just being all cute and cool and…strong…” She nearly swooned at the last part, but quickly managed to compose herself.

Mayl couldn’t help but giggle. “You must really like him a lot, don’t you, Roll?” she asked.

Roll’s face went so bright red that she could very well put a strawberry to shame. “O-of course I do!” she squeaked. “He’s such a gentleman. W-well, um, Glyde is also a gentleman, b-b-but not nearly as sweet as Mega is!”

Mayl smiled as she approached her PET and stroked it like she would the top of a cat’s head. “I know,” she replied.

She withdrew her hand and looked out the window. Though there was a half moon shimmering in the sky, her attention was more focused on Lan’s house from next door. There were several lights glowing upstairs – a clear signal that Lan was awake and probably doing something other than sleeping (as he’s supposed to be, she grimaced to herself).

Roll tilted her head to the side. “Still thinking about Lan?” she asked, voice filled with curiosity. Mayl only nodded in response and sighed.

“I just don’t know what goes on in his head, to be honest,” the girl spoke. “He’s always going out and about, and is so focused on being the best NetBattler in the world.”

She nibbled her thumb a little before continuing on. “Mom said to give him time to understand what just happened today, but…I can’t help but fear that he’ll just go about his business as usual tomorrow, like nothing ever happened.” She lowered her gaze to the floor. “I’m afraid he might never have any time for me at all.”

Roll frowned. She hated seeing her NetOp so saddened like this. If she could get out of her PET and hug her until she felt better, she would be doing so right now. Instead, all she could do was watch as Mayl stood there with a somber expression in her eyes.

That was when a thought crossed her mind. “Hey, Mayl,” she piped up. “Do you remember, in Witches and Owls, what happened after the fight with the evil Emperor and the Black Owl?”

Mayl blinked before turning her attention to the pink Navi. “Yeah,” she replied. Witches and Owls was her favourite novel, given to her on her fifth birthday by her dad. She loved it so much that even Ms. Mari had to assign it as part of the English reading assignment.

“Well, let’s see…” Roll tapped her finger against her chin before reciting a particular passage. “‘Weary and wounded from the battle against the Black Owl – the very deity he had once helped bring back – Howler limped away from the castle grounds. Unlike his enemy-turned-allies, the former Owl Guard could not bring himself up to face the very witches he had nearly destroyed…those whose deaths he would have been held responsible for. Instead, he decided to find a quiet, private place where he could wither away, alone and in silence.’”

“‘He wasn’t sure why or how he came upon the weeping willow tree, but one way or another, that was where he was,’” Mayl continued, picturing Howler resting beneath the trunk of the willow tree. The young witchling’s chest heaved as he clutched the cape that was wrapped around the horrible gash he received in his side. He found himself staring at the leafy curtains, admiring the way the sun glimmered through the openings, even while he patiently awaited the moment when the willow tree would wrap its roots around him and return his body to the earth.

“But even though Howler accepted his fate, it was the plant witch Rosalyn who decided he would live,” Mayl went on, imagining the young girl rounding the corner to find her lover nestled between the visible roots of the willow tree. “She used the magic from the weeping willow to heal his mortal wounds, and the two of them would live a happy life together, starting their own family in the process.”

She shook her head to snap out of it. “I don’t get what this has to do with me and Lan, though,” she said. “Are you trying to say that I’m Rosalyn the plant witch and Lan is Howler the Owl Guard?”

“More or less,” Roll replied with a giggle. “But seriously though, what I’m trying to get at is this: just like Howler came back for Rosalyn, Lan will eventually come for you. All you gotta do is just wait and be patient. You can’t just rush things and expect it all to work out in your favour, Mayl.”

The only response Roll got was a defeated groan as Mayl slumped her shoulders and trudged on to her bed. She pushed the covers over herself before flopping over on the bed.

“But what if Lan chooses another girl over me,” the girl complained.

“He won’t,” was Roll’s straightforward response. “Trust me, he won’t. If anything, I think he really cares about you…even if he can be a little brat at times. If anything terrible were to happen to you, well… he’d very likely be heartbroken.”

Mayl hadn’t thought about that. And at the same time, she wasn’t sure if she even wanted to think about Lan being heartbroken because she got badly injured…or worse. If anything, it only made it harder for her to try and get some sleep.

Roll seemed to sense the turmoil she was feeling. “You want me to play your favourite song?”

Mayl sighed. “Please do,” she replied. If there was something, anything, that could help her get a good night’s sleep, it would be listening to some of her favourite tunes.

The pink Navi grinned as she opened up a file containing some of Mayl’s favourite songs. She then flipped through the playlist until she found the one she was looking for and pressed “Play”.

Almost right away, the room was filled with the sound of soft music, followed by a young woman singing in Electopian. It was a song Mayl often played to ease her mind, and one she often had Lan listening to (albeit a little begrudgingly on his behalf at first). But most of all, whenever she needed a restful night’s sleep, all she had to do was play the song, and let it take care of the rest.

As Mayl’s eyes grew heavy, she heard the chorus – her favourite part of the song – reach her ears. She couldn’t help but hum a little of the tune to herself as her finger tapped gently against the pillow.

Tomorrow, she thought to herself. We may not understand each other’s feelings today…but there will always be tomorrow.

And indeed, she knew, with a peaceful smile on her face as she drifted off to sleep, that tomorrow would be a bright new day.
