Tesla gazed out of the airplane window and sighed. She was going back to Jawaii for the first time in three months. She wondered if the flying man would be there like last time. She sighed as the white beach came into view. “We will be landing in then minutes, please fasten your seat belts,” said the PA system. Tesla obliged and felt her stomach churn as the plane began it’s decent. She knew she shouldn’t have eaten the airplane food.

On the streets of the small island Tesla walked around looking constantly in the skies. She didn’t even realize that she was doing so until she heard a voice behind her. “Looking for someone?” it asked.

Tesla gasped and spun around looking straight into Charlie’s dark eyes. “Charlie!”

“Hello Tesla,” he said.

She nodded, “Hello.”

Charlie looked at the sky, “You looking for something?” he asked again.

Tesla smiled and looked up as well, “Yeah,” she said.

“May I ask who?” he asked.

“I think you knew perfectly well what I’m looking for,” she said.

“Were you ever going to tell my you were a Net Mafia boss?” he asked, still looking at the sky.

Tesla looked at him. She sighed and looked back into the sky, “Eventually,” she replied.

Charlie laughed, “You are quite a gal,” he said.

“I don’t get told that very often,” she replied.

“I believe it,” he said.

There was a brief silence, “Are you upset?” she asked.

Charlie nodded, “Upset that you used me.”

Tesla looked a little sad, “Oh,” she said softly.

“However, not at who you are.” Charlie laughed, “I’ve dated worse.”

“Glad to know,” she said dryly.

“Maybe I can forgive you if you say sorry,” Charlie said.

“Me, say what?” Tesla screeched.

“Hey, I was just saying,” Charlie said.

Tesla blushed and there was another silence. After a few moments she mumbled something Charlie couldn’t hear.

“What was that?” he asked.

“I said I’m sorry,” Tesla muttered.

Charlie nodded, “Good, I forgive you.”

“Now what?” Tesla asked.

“Well, I know this lovely little café two blocks from here,” said Charlie, slipping his arm around Tesla’s shoulders.

Tesla looked disdainfully at the arm around her shoulders but decided to overlook it. “Sounds wonderful,” she said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Please?” she looked at her husband. “Make me a navi.”

He sighed, “Sweetie, I know you’re lonely but a navi might be too much.”

The woman slumped in the bed that she had been occupying for the last three months. “I just want a friend,” she said softly.

Her husband’s heart softened as he looked at his sick wife. “I’ll try,” he said. “Any requests?”

“I want a nature navi. Something to remind me of my gardening,” she smiled. “I miss it,” she looked out the window longingly.

He leaned down to kiss her, “I know sweetie.”

“Have a good day at work,” she said.

He nodded and left her room.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

That afternoon, she heard the downstairs door open and shut. “Welcome home,” she called. She heard the tell tale steps creaking as he walked upstairs to her. He opened the door and came in with a smile.

“Hey,” he said.

She smiled back and noticed something small concealed in his large hands. Her chest rose with a hope that she had long since forgotten. “What is that?” she asked playfully.

“What is what?” he teased her.

“What is in your hands?” she asked.

“You mean this?” he let her see the small PET.

She brought her hands to her mouth in sheer joy and gave a gasp of delight. “A navi?” she asked.

He nodded, “Yes, just for you.”

She held out her hands like a little girl at Christmas. He laughed out loud and obliged. She turned on the tiny computer and watched breathlessly as it booted up. A navi who for all the world liked like a giant flower greeted her.

“My name is Plantman,” he said in a soft voice and gave a polite bow.

She smiled at him, barely able to contain her excitement. “My name is Anna,” she replied.

“Pleased to meet you,” he said.

“Likewise,” she replied.

Her husband put a hand on her shoulder. “Are you happy?” he asked.

She nodded with tears in her eyes, “Very much, thank you.”

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

The next day as her husband left for work she was in a much better mood. She waved goodbye and as soon as she heard the door shut she pulled out her PET and turned it on. “Plantman?” she asked.

“Yes, Anna?” he replied.

“Could you tell me what it’s like outside?” she asked.

“Can’t you see out the window?” he asked, slightly puzzled.

Anna made a face, “I know, but just tell me, please?” she asked.

Plantman gave her a soft smile, “It’s sunny outside and it will be all day. There will be partial could cover this morning, however.”

“What do to clouds look like?” Anna asked before Plantman could go on.

Plantman stopped and paused. He brought up a screen that showed the cloud cover and looked at them. “Cotton balls,” he said.

Anna rolled her eyes, “No really, what do they look like?” she asked.

Plantman was taken aback. “W-well one kind of looks like an upside-down wedding cake,” he said.

Anna gasped with delight, “Go on please.”

They spent many long days together like that. Weeks upon weeks, months upon months were spent gazing at clouds, snow, flowers and trees from Anna’s little room. Both were perfectly content with their life, at least until Anna started to get sick again. Her condition slowly worsened until they knew she was on borrowed time.

“Planty, sorry we couldn’t travel all over the world like we planned,” she said softly.

“I-it’s okay,” he said in a shaky voice.

“Andrew,” she whispered. Her husband leaned over her. “I love you,” she said with tears in her eyes.

“I love you too,” he said.

“Bye Planty, I’ll miss you as well. I…love…you…” she gripped Andrew’s hand. “Goodbye,” she said.

Before she took her last breath Plantman escaped into the safety of the internet where emotions could be ignored. He ran as fast as he could away from his PET and he knew that he could never go back to his peaceful life.

It hurt too much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The plantman one was requested by someone on FF.net :D

Oh and Midnight Critic, cheesy is my middle name XD

Oh, thank you so much, Neko! So lovely and sad... I always thought that Plantman was really a gentle Navi at heart. Someone that soft-voiced, after all...
This is WAY different from the backstory I'm giving him. I would use yours if i could, but it's too late now, sadly...
Once more, thank you. This really brightened my day.

It was an outing set up by their navis. Meiru immediately knew what was going on. Netto, not so much. It was an annual festival downtown and Meiru had been excitedly waiting for the date ever since her mom took her out to her a new kimono. She now excitedly twirled in front of Netto in the pink flower print outfit. “Do you like it?” she asked.

Netto blinked and looked to his navi in the monitor over Meiru’s shoulder. Rockman made a quick hand gesture as if to say ‘well say something.’ “You look,” he searched for the right word, “nice.”

Meiru narrowed her eyes. “Is that it?”

/I can’t win,/ Netto wailed to his twin.

/She’s been excited about this for weeks, say something nice!/ Rockman said.

/I did!/

/Netto, put some effort into it,/ Rockman sighed.

“You look really pretty tonight, Meiru,” Netto said finally.

Meiru’s gaze softened into a smile, “Thanks,” she said softly. “Are you ready to go?”

Netto nodded and Rockman went into his PET. They left Netto’s house and walked down the road into the festival. Meiru grabbed Netto’s arm in sheer excitement and they boy didn’t protest. Roll came into Rockman’s PET and they smiled knowingly at one another. Everything was going according to plan.

Meiru squealed with joy as a goldfish jumped out of the pond in the Goldfish Game. “Netto, look, isn’t it pretty?” she asked.

Netto nodded, “Yeah, but that game is really hard.”

“Come on, it’s fun! Let’s play!” she said, dragging Netto over to the stand.

Netto followed as best he could and the Booth Keeper gave them a grin. “You two want to play?” he asked.

“Two wands and nets please!” she asked.

The Booth Keeper gave them two paper wands and the nets to catch the fish in. “Good luck,” he said.

Meiru kneeled down by the pond with a look of concentration on her face. She saw the fish swim by and she quickly dunked the wand into the water. The fish fell through the soaked paper and she groaned.

“That was close, Meiru-chan!” Roll said in an effort to cheer her operator up.

“Netto-kun, why don’t you try?” Rockman suggested.

Netto nodded and knelt down by the pool. He had no more luck then Meiru and all he got in return for his efforts was a giggle from Meiru and Roll.

The Shop Keeper laughed. “Want to try again, kids?” he asked, holding up two more wands.

They nodded and took the tools. Five more tries later and very little pocket money left they agreed on only one more go round.

Meiru flicked the wand into the pool and for a second the fish was air born, however she wasn’t fast enough with the net and the fish plopped back into the pool.

Netto smiled, “That was really close,” he said with a hint of a laugh.

He knelt down and gave his try, but he had no more luck them Meiru. They laughed over their defeat and moved on. Later they watched the fireworks and spent the last of their money on sweet been cookies. Then it was time to go.

As hey were leaving Netto looked down and spotted a coin in the dirt. He picked it up and looked at the goldfish game. “I’ll be right back,” he said to Meiru and ran off.

Meiru looked puzzled but waited patiently for Netto to return. “I wonder what he’s doing?” she asked wistfully.

“Maybe it’s a surprise,” Roll giggled.

Meiru laughed with her navi and they waited for two more minutes. Netto came running up then and smiled. “Thanks for waiting,” he said.

“What did you do?” she asked.

Netto held up a plastic baggie with a fish swimming around inside. He looked away blushing and Meiru gasped with delight. “For me?”

“I saw change on the ground,” he murmured. “Yeah,” he said.

“Meiru took the goldfish and linked her arm though his and rested her head on his shoulder. “Thanks, Netto.”

Netto blushed like mad and smiled. “You’re welcome.”

The two navi’s shared a knowing smile. Tonight was a success.

~~~~~~~~~~

As much as I'm not too fond of these two as a pairing, I liked writing it. So flufful!

Double Post ^^

“This flower is called the,” Jasmine started, holding up a small white flower.

“Jasmine,” Netto cut her off.

The pretty Chinese girl looked at Netto with a smile. “Yes, Netto?”

“Why is this important again?” he asked.

Jasmine adopted a pouty look on her back. “Because when I tell you what plants are I memorize them. Grandpa is making me learn them before he tells me the next mixture.”

Netto sighed, “All right. What is that flower?”

Jasmine squealed with happiness and held up the small flower.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

An hour later Netto and Jasmine walked down the streets of Densan. Netto had promised to take her for ice cream after the memorization. Jasmine looked at the large city in wonder. “I never get tired of coming here,” she sighed wistfully.

“You like big cities?” Netto asked, slightly surprised.

“I love big cities! There are so many interesting plants. They come up in sidewalks and on sides of buildings. Plants can grow anywhere and it amazes me at how strong they are.” She sighed wistfully, “I wish I could be that strong.”

“Netto blushed and smiled, “You are though.”

Jasmine returned the blush with her own and Medi and Rockman smiled knowingly at each other.

A small pink flower poked out from between the cracks of two sidewalk slabs. Netto almost stepped on it, but Jasmine pushed him out of the way before he could step on it. He landed on his butt and Jasmine cradled the small flower in her hands. “Be careful, Netto!” she chastised.

Netto rubbed his sore backside and glared at the flower. “Geez, be more gentle, Jasmine.”

Jasmine tenderly picked the flower and placed it in her knapsack. Then she extended her hand to Netto. “Sorry,” she said giving him a sheepish grin.

Netto returned the smile with one of his own and took her hand. She pulled him to his feet and Netto dusted himself off. “You really like plants, don’t you?” Rockman asked.

“Very much,” she nodded.

“Why?” Netto asked.

“They have personality. They’re strong and can do anything from just look pretty to healing diseases no human can touch. I love how each one does something different,” she clasped her hands together and a wistful look clouded her eyes.

Netto sweatdropped and laughed nervously. Jasmine snapped out of her day dream and latched herself onto Netto’s arm. “But that doesn’t matter right now. You promised me you would take me to get ice cream if I memorized everything.”

Rockman nodded, “Yes, and we’re not far away.”

They walked the remaining three blocks and got their frozen treats. “Thanks for helping me, Netto,” Jasmine said while licking her strawberry ice cream come.

Netto took a bit out of his parfait and nodded. He swallowed the bit and shivered from the instant brain freeze. “No problem,” he said, shivering.

Jasmine giggled and they finished their treats in silence.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Later that evening they sat on the outskirts of town, watching the sunset. “Everything is so pretty here,” she sighed wistfully. “I love smelling the sea all the time.”

“Yeah,” Netto nodded.

Jasmine leaned her head on Netto’s shoulder. Netto blushed and looked straight ahead, but didn’t protest. “I have to go back to China tomorrow,” she said.

“I know,” Netto replied.

The final rays of the sunset dipped below the horizon. Jasmine stood up and dusted off her dress. Netto picked himself up and Jasmine smiled. “Well thanks for helping me study. It’s been fun!”

Netto nodded and smiled back. “It has. Good luck with your grandpa.”

Jasmine looked apprehensive and Medi whispered, “Go on.”

Netto looked slightly puzzled and Jasmine ran up to him and gave him a big hug. Then she stood on tip toe and gave him a kiss on his cheek. “Bye,” she said and ran off. After she ran about 20 feet away she turned around and waved. Then she left for good.

Netto turned bright red and waved dazedly. “Bye,” he said.

~~~~~~~~

I LIKED writing Netto Jasmine, it was alot easier then I thought it would be.

Alright Neko, forget about the Rush's Hole thing (You probably had a hard time thinking about it anyway since I wasn't specific. XD)

Neko, you shall put your fingers to the key strokes and write for me about...Inukai, Rei, Sunayama, and Narcy playing an RPG game where they work as a team to play but they obviously can't. XD

Edit: We have decided they will be playing Gunbound. \o/

I might as well.

I'd like to request a ficlet based on everyone's favorite nerd, Higsby. Do it so that we can see what does not appear in the games or anime, i.e., something similar to his secret life, etc. Either game or anime universe is fine. I leave the rest up to you.
