Just a few more hours.
You hurriedly gathered your things and packed them into the trunk of your car, speeding off to Taehyung's apartment. It had been a very, very long two weeks, spent all by your lonesome. Taehyung had gone off to Japan with Jimin and Namjoon, another one of their plans that they had solidified awhile ago. The time difference wasn't so bad, but you were honestly so tired of waiting up just to hear from him, or pulling yourself together so you wouldn't go to sleep too early. Part of you really wanted him to enjoy his trip, away from his phone and other distractions since you knew he had been looking forward to it for a really long time. But, you couldn't help it. You just missed the fuck out of him and you needed him to come back asap.
And for the record, Taehyung did enjoy his trip. He had a lot of fucking fun, roaming around and meeting new people. He's even had his fair share of women trying to get up on him at the night clubs/bars, but he wasn't having it whatsoever. He'd easily block himself or shove his friends in the way because they weren't you and those moments made him miss your presence even more. He always wanted you around him, and it's times like that that made him wish he could touch you, hug you, kiss you, show you off. Bask in these moments with you. But, he knew he had time - you both had forever to go, and he was only looking forward to the days where he could travel with you and bring you everywhere with him.
With that being said, he couldn't wait to fucking see you and just hug you. Feel you against his body. He really, really missed you. But he hates knowing he has to wait another day or so because you had told him you left the city to attend some culinary & food convention with Jin. The specific details, he had no idea. He just knew you weren't around and it bummed him the hell out. He didn't press on for more details, moreso because he was just tired from the flight and from the trip itself.
[start flashback of phone call]
"You're finally coming home!"
"I know." He chuckles. "But you're leaving? What time will you be back?"
"I'm sorry, baby. I totally forgot about the convention. I'll be back tomorrow evening."
"Tomorrow evening?" He sighs and pouts over the phone. "But, I really miss you."
"Aw." You chuckle. "I really miss you, too. I told Jin I'd go since his friend bailed out."
"It's alright, you should accompany hyung." He says softly.
"Cheer up, okay? Have fun for the rest of your time there, I promise it won't be long before we see each other."
[end flashback of phone call]
Tae, Jimin and Namjoon all get picked up by one of their other friends and they head straight to dinner before heading home.
"Taehyungie, where's Y/N?"
"She's with Jin hyung at some culinary convention in the next town over." He pokes his food.
"Aw, look who misses her." Namjoon teased.
"Fuck off, it's been two weeks." Taehyung pouts, not even giving one damn about how he looks in front of his friends right now.
"Taehyungie is in looooove." His other friend teased. "Isn't that some shit? Never thought I'd be saying that any time soon."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Tae shakes his head and rolls his eyes. They can call it whatever the fuck they want, but you were his baby and he was the happiest he had ever been. Of course he loved you. Of course he missed you. Seeing you and feeling your touch is the one thing that pushes him through his days.
Taehyung isn't really in a rush to get home knowing he'd come home to an empty, lonely space, but he was also yearning for his bed. As he's making his way up to his apartment, he digs out his phone to give you a call, hoping maybe you would have came back early. But, he gets no response and the loneliness further kicks in.
Damn, he just wanted his girlfriend. Was that too much to ask for?!
He unlocks the door, sighing heavily at the dark, cold, empty living room. He rolls his luggage in, gently pushing it aside against the wall before throwing off his long puffer jacket and grabbing a cold water bottle. He takes a few gulps before he's just standing there, admiring your photo as his lock screen. Lord, was he in love.
When he slowly opens the door to his room, his eyes widen and his jaw drops. You, in the flesh, were sitting on his bed all cutely, legs criss-crossed applesauce with your arms up in a V shape. A small "Welcome Home" banner draped the headboard, with a few balloons scattered across the ceiling and plastic tea lights scattered around you on the bed.
"Ohhhhh, shit." He says, chuckling to himself since he doesn't know how to act with how surprised he is.
"Welcome home, love!" You giggle as you hop off the bed, straight into his arms. He hugged you tightly, the scent of your hair filling his nose. He's so fucking happy right now, he could honestly cry. He holds you close to swing you around once, causing you to squeal into his chest before he puts you down.
"Baby." Is all he says when you pull away to look at him. He gently caresses your cheek, smiling from ear to ear before kissing you on the lips. "I missed you."
"I missed you, too."
"I thought you were gonna be gone."
"No. I tricked ya." You pull away to walk towards the bed, but he gently grabs your wrist to pull you back to him. His hands are feeling up your entire body before they rest on your cheeks to cup them as he's planting a kiss on your forehead and nose. "Why don't you get into comfier clothes so we can cuddle?" You giggle. He silently nods and makes his way to his closet to grab some clothes he can change into, but before he could make his way to the bathroom, he's back to holding you close and kissing your cheek. "Babe." You softly squeal.
"I'm sorry, I just haven't gotten to do this for awhile." He chuckles before running off to the bathroom to get changed and washed up.  Next thing you know, he's waddling over to the bed and tossing his arms around you, tightly holding you. He smells of baby powder, which honestly is the cutest thing. Every move you make, he tries to be right there - needing to touch you, hold you, play with your fingers, anything.
"You're a baby." You playfully joked. "What is up with you?"
"Mmmm." He whines as he sits up against the headboard and pulls you close by throwing his arm around your shoulder. He gently lifts your chin to meet your lips, slowly kissing you and taking you in. You wrap your arm around his torso, your leg draped over his to be as close as possible. "My pretty girl." He smiles down at you, completely smitten and in love with all your unique features. "I had fun on the trip but I really wished you were there."
"Yeah? Tell me all about it."
"We walked so fucking much. Ate so much." He tapped his tummy. "The food was so good though."
"Sounds like." You poked his tummy, feeling him flex his abs every time your finger made contact.
"I think I came home with more things for you than myself." You smiled. You didn't even ask him to buy you anything. The fact that he was still thinking about you and buying things for you on a trip he had been excited to experience for himself - what did you do to deserve Taehyung? You had no idea. It hadn't been an easy ride but you wouldn't have it any other way.
"Seriously?" You chuckled.
"Yeah. I found a lot of things I thought you'd like. I even got you a reusable bag with Shiba Inu's printed all over it." He wiggled his eyebrows, knowing how much you bag on him for not buying reusable bags to use for groceries or other things.
"You're so cute." His hands are caressing your arm, laying another gentle kiss on the side of your mouth.
"We took the train everywhere, visited Namjoon's friends off in the countryside and stayed there for two days. Got really fucking wasted, Jimin was outside yacking."
"Poor guy."
"He's alive, right?" You laugh, playfully hitting him on the chest. "Went to the club and bars with Namjoon's friends. It was a good time."
"Lots of ladies flocking you, ey?"
"Yeah but what does that matter if it isn't my lady right here?" He gently boops your nose. You follow suit and boop the mole on his nose, one of your favorite things to do since it became one of the many features you loved about Taehyung. "We did a lot of shopping. Took a lot of pictures. Jimin will probably upload our pics and videos to a drive and I can share it with you once it's up." You nod. "I wanna share these things with you if you can't be there physically with me."
"It sounds like you had a really good time though, and I'm happy you did."
"I did. But," He looks down at you, his finger tracing your jawline. "I wanna do these things with you."
"We will. Once school is over." You chuckle.
"I really mean it." He says, ever so seriously [sweetly]. "I wanna take you to places you've never been to before, or places we've never been to before. I wanna be the person that takes you there." His plump lips softly press against your forehead. "I can't wait to be able to do that. I can't wait to wake up in a new place with you, have good fucking sex in a hotel room, roam around, take pictures of you, videos of you." You giggled. "I just.. can't wait to do everything with you, love."
"Sounds just like my type of trip."
"I couldn't agree more." He chuckled before swooping you into his arms to bring you out into the living room. "K, come on. I need to show you what I got you." He says happily.

kconla ‘17
this is more or less a post for my own reference bc i tend to forget things rlly easily... and i really don’t want to forget this weekend!! sorry if this is unreadable.. like i said, it’s mainly for my own reference ghfjdksn
friday convention: pretty uneventful seeing as it’s only the first day... me n my friend lined up to try for the w1 hitouch but we were told to come back at 2pm. we had heize’s audience engagement to go to at that time, so we just ended up buying w1 banners and nametags anyways bc tbh.. we didn’t have a chance at winning LOL.. (i heard fansites bought all the merch tho? so at least we got our stuff before that madness). a lot of people were selling their heize passes, so the rest of our party bought them to go in and honestly.. it’s a loss for the people who sold them !! heize is one of the sweetest n down to earth people i’ve ever met/seen... someone in the hi-touch area got her an olaf backpack and she was so excited!! she also said she really liked the vibe of la and that more people showed up than she expected (which broke my heart HJKDS). she also describes herself as a “srapper/ringer” bc she says she likes both singing and rapping... im gna fast forward to the cosmic girls audience engagement which was.. life changing tbh.. they’re all so pretty and cute irl, but bona couldn’t make it for some reason :( yeonjung sang miracle + secret, dawon did eunseo’s “hing~”, and meiqi did luda’s “mollah-ah”. they were also asked who they wanted to switch bodies with and from what i can remember, dayoung wanted to switch bodies with dawon (bc in her words, dawon is “hot, tall, and sexy” HJFSHLJ), and luda wanted to switch bodies with seola (bc she’s really pretty.. and i agree!! all of them are!!!) cheng xiao is my bias but unfortunately she didn’t say much..... also every idol whose never been to la wants in n out but i don’t blame them, it’s good!! i didn’t have that great of a view either bc the people in front of me were already tall + they were against the barrier which adds another inch or so to their height.. but overall it was a cute n fun audience engagement!! we went home afterwards bc there was nothing else left to do..
saturday convention: we went early bc my friend had sf9′s audience engagement so while we waited for her to finish that, me n the rest of the party just went around the convention hall and got free stuff :’)) when she came back, we went to juncurryahn’s meet and greet. he’s rly nice and talented, but i don’t watch his videos so i didn’t know what was going on majority of the time... afterwards we were going to get food and i was going to line up for seventeen’s audience engagement, but on the way out i saw people already lining up outside? when i asked what was going on, a guard told me to wait in the indoor waiting area but when i went there, vixx’s audience engagement hadn’t gone in yet. i asked the woman scanning bracelets but she told me to go outside. when i told her the situation, she then said i could stay inside. thirty minutes later, more people came in and started complaining so she told us all to.. go back outside lmfao... when i headed back outside the guard said the waiting area was full, so i’d just have to sit around until they started letting people line up again... i did meet a few more carats in line tho so i guess? it’s fine.. i also got a mingyu fan from one of his fansites, like u! it was super hectic inside bc a lot of people were crowding me and i was getting anxious, but the carats i met in line were nice enough to check up on me every few minutes to make sure i was okay... and seeing seventeen..... made my heart stop.... i couldn’t get a good view bc 1) im short and 2) people brought posters and constantly held them up whenever their biases talked.. it was a good experience but the only thing that bothered me was people screaming whenever a member tried to talk... i’d hate to be biased but seeing dino in the same room as me was the most memorable.. like he actually glows irl and he’s so handsome and pictures don’t do him justice!!!!!!! also junhui? ethereal. he can’t exist like.. he’s too handsome. they then played a dice game where each number means they have to do a certain thing.. dino got freestyle dance (how fitting...), seungkwan and wonwoo got fav pop song (when we were young + see you again, respectively), jeonghan and joshua both got aegyo, dk got random dance (and he threw the dice inflatable into the crowd and.. mightve hit someone ? idk i only heard him apologizing!!), and mingyu got sexy dance (hgfjdkl it was funny bc he started off fine but got rlly awkward n shy). everyone and their mothers are hip hop team stans btw... after that i left to go find my friends at the mwave stage, where they were doing signed album giveaways. oh my girl was having a fansign at star square in thirty minutes and i happened to be near the barrier where they walked by... in the midst of waiting for oh my girl to come out, my friend’s number was called for an album and he got the night version of astro’s dream pt 01 signed by all members!! literally 3 minutes later oh my girl came out and??????? they’re so pretty i was FLOORED.. i could only get a good look at jiho’s face before a guard stepped in front of me tho.. but i did see all the other member’s side profiles and? i love girls. wow. once that was over, we went to go get food and line up for the concert when the friend who won the album said he didn’t listen to astro.. and he gave it to me....... i started crying
saturday concert: HJFKDSLHJFK IT WAS WILD TBH!! the pre show was really good w/ juncurryahn playing crush’s beautiful on the violin and dancing to not today.. then it was krnfx and he beatboxed a few songs.. also lydia paek joined him for bs&t which was cool!! the first mc’s for the night were scoups, joshua, and vernon and i kind of.. lost my shit HJKDSLHJFK.... i don’t rmr the exact order but i do know that sf9 was the first act and they performed fanfare, jungle game, and easy love. also when they did the whole robot acrobatics thing in jungle game? my face was like :O the whole time!!!! chani looked like a cute lil pumpkin and zuho... is spicy... after that was cosmic girls and I LOVE!!!! THOSE SPACE ANGELS!!!! SOO MUCH!!!!! they performed happy, i wish, and secret (though i really wanted them to perform miracle...) i’m not a big fan of girl’s day but they’re sooo beautiful and they performed i’ll be yours, something. and ring my bell.. i knew nothing about suju d&e but they did 3 songs! the only song i can recall the name of is oppa oppa, which is really catchy... vixx’s act was really good!! they performed shangri-la, black out, and fantasy, but i was thinking about haknyeon and ravi’s lil head twirl part the whole time ghjdfkl.... vixx had a thing called ‘pinata time’ and got photo session, and they made cute poses around the stage so fans could take pictures of them. seventeen was the last act and ................ it was life changing, truly... they performed don’t wanna cry and I STARTED CRYING BC I LOVE THOSE BOYS SO MUCH AND WORDS CAN’T DESCRIBE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME AND HOW MUCH THEY’VE DONE FOR ME.... they had a pinata time and got everyone in the venue to dance to mansae which made me tear up again... they shot signed tshirts into the crowd in reserved seating!! mingyu + jun + woozi had to share a gun and after they shot one shirt, mingyu was trying to put the other shirt in and almost broke the gun HJFKLHJSDK... jun was interacting w/ the crowd all while woozi n mingyu were trying to figure it out.. like he was just shrugging and being his cute bubbly self.. eventually a staffer had to come up and help them lmao.. they also performed boom boom and aju nice which put me in the happiest mood!! i wanted them to perform pretty u which is like.. my fav song.. but i would have started UGLY CRYING so i’m glad they didn’t... somewhere in between cosmic girls invented the song i need u and sf9 covered sorry sorry... both groups danced together for the last chorus or so for sorry sorry..... also all of svt’s units performed a song! performance team did swimming fool, vocal did habit, and hip hop did check in. but saturday’s concert was amazing and seventeen.. really did change my life..... i also hope hoshi is feeling better !!!
sunday convention: got lost on the freeway and we all started freaking out bc we thought we’d miss wanna one at the innisfree booth. fortunately we made it in time, but the booth was already packed and there were people pushing and shoving. the security was really rude and told people near the back “if you cant see anything you’re wasting your time, what are you doing with your lives??” though i get he was doing his jobs.. there’s better ways to just tell us to back up lmao... i also i stood next to a baejin fansite (cheese bae) and they gave me a banner! my friend and i got claustrophobic and left, but i’m glad i did bc the people in front of me were a good 7 inches taller than me and when wanna one showed, the pushing got so bad that kcon threatened to end the session. the rest of the party stayed and said that they were only there for 5 minutes and that they looked visibly upset (understandable bc of the whole airport incident. i don’t blame them if they hate la lmao). they did get a blurry video of baejin and daniel tho so.. they airdropped that to me. we did pretty much everything the convention hall had to offer and no workshops/panels really interested us so we just hung around the toyota booth for astro... there i got a sanha fan from a fansite, but their name isn’t on the fan so i can’t find them :(... kard was said to make an appearance at the state farm booth right next to the toyota one, so it got crowded and my friend and i left. we just sat in the entrance hall near an outlet until astro came out, and we stood near the elevator so we could see them walk out... sanha is unbelievably tall. like.... what’s he so tall for. why. also while waiting i got a taeyong banner from leetaeyongbar! we then decided to go back inside to hopefully see wanna one at star square, so we went to the area where we stood for oh my girl. luckily not a lot of people cared to stand in the back so we got right up by the barrier. i also talked to a wannable and she was rlly sweet!! i mentioned getting anxious abt crowds of people against me and she also made sure i was okay, which is nice.. also a fansite stood behind me and i told her that if i was in the way, she could just let me know.. i dont know which fansite she is but she was nice n was thankful!!! wanna one came out and i only got a good look at guanlin (who is tall, but not sanha tall) before staff stood in front of me.. after they walked by a bunch of people left so i got closer and waited for them to come out... i’m glad i stayed bc i actually saw them walk out... and jisung!!!!!!!! waved!!!!!! in our direction!!!!!!!!!!!! my heart almost burst out of my chest bc he’s so handsome irl and he’s so cute and he looked really happy... after that we left to line up for the concert
sunday concert: sunday’s crowd was a lot bigger than saturday’s, and i’m pretty sure everyone there was a got7 stan... while in line i saw papa tuan (mainly bc he was dressed as their lightstick, which was cute)!!! inside the venue, the girl sitting next to me as also an aroha so we talked abt astro while we waited for the concert to start!! the preshow was a band called iamnot (correct me if i’m wrong, i couldn’t read their logo ghjfdk) and they were really good.. i liked their act a lot!!! the night’s hosts were mark and jackson, and they did a good job hyping up the crowd (tho everyone in there was a got7 stan so.. who wouldn’t be hyped lol). when they were calling up all the artists, heize brought the olaf backpack on with her and my heart!!!!! exploded w love for my mother!!!!!! once again i don’t remember the exact order, but i do know that the first act was kard, who performed don’t recall, hola hola, and oh nana. we also sang happy birthday to somin who teared up :’)). also j.seph is super cute n shy........ heize performed don’t know you. after a small ment, a sign asked us to turn on our phone flashlights... the music for star started and heize started to cry bc of all of the lights hjgfdklhg :( she only performed two songs... oh my girl performed coloring book and closer, and yooa is sosososo pretty!!! arin is super cute too!!! also binnie doesn’t have bangs anymore and my heart almost stopped!!! my robong DIED during coloring book bc me, being the fool i am, reused batteries from my carat bong... the aroha next to me gave me her spare batteries which was so nice of her... but then her robong died during closer so i gave back the batteries bc i knew astro as her ult, n she needed those batteries more than me LOL.. when wanna one performed, the girl saw me with my banner and she asked to record for me and i’m so grateful!!! they performed energetic and burn it up, and i think me and my friend got on the screen for like 2 seconds HJKDLSHJGKL... astro did a collab with kim taewoo and they did so well!! the dance was super energetic but their voices still sounded so good!!! kim taewoo then performed and his voice was really nice.. i can’t recall the song names but i believe his last song was love rain? astro performed should’ve held on, breathless (with a transition into polaris), and baby!! sanha was soo cute during the ment :(( they also had a pinata time and made tshirts to throw to those in the pit. they also had tshirt guns and shot those to the reserved seats... also i recorded the performance for the aroha next to me in exchange for the w1 videos... nct’s stage was.. so hype.... they performed firetruck, limitless, and cherry bomb!! some of the mics weren’t working during the ment so mark leaned over to let taeil use his in-ear mic and everyone in the venue went wild... also sicheng’s self intro was “my name is winwin!!! today.. we winwin!!!!!!!!” HJFKSLHJSF HE’S SO CUTE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I’LL FOREVER BE SICHENGSGIRL NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CHANGE MY URL.... once again, the aroha next to me recorded nct for me and i later recorded got7 for her.. jj project performed, and they did never ever, hard carry, and?? correct me if i’m wrong but confession song?? idk.. they had a pinata time as well and a lucky fan got proposed to by three members, who i think were bambam, jaebum, and jackson. somewhere in between, wanna one came out again in navy colored school uniforms and perfomed never and nayana.. and i teared up during the latter... after the concert was over, me n the aroha airdropped each other the videos... i never got her name but she was super sweet and im glad i got to sit next to someone who didn’t consider my screaming obnoxious (she apologized for screaming during astro and got7 but.. we get each other LOL)
overall i’m so happy that i saw 6/6 of the groups i stan at my very first kcon!!! it’s rlly a memory i want to keep forever.. but i probably won’t go again in a long time (unless ofc.... wanna one or seventeen decide to come again :’))) )

Rockman - Exciting Times in L.A, Ch. II
Chapter 2 of "Exciting Times in L.A," a Mega Man fan fiction story.
Notice the big, near-week gap between the "written" date of the first chapter and this one?  Yeeaaah… that happens when you write so much that you burn yourself out.  And, that's precisely why this wasn't written – much less posted – on or around June 6th.
Word count: 3,710 – Character count: 21,523 Originally written: June 11th, 2019
After confirming their suspicions, Rock and Roll are greeted by the face of an old friend… with some new upgrades.
Rock/Megaman, Roll, Rush, King, Albert W. Wily, Mega Man/Rockman, and related characters and properties created by and © Capcom Co, Ltd.
[ ← Prev. Chapter | Next Chapter → ]
    The walking tour of Los Angeles had come to a sudden end.  Dr. Wily had shown his UFO and a visit from Bass only confirmed the suspicions that he was up to no good – at least, for the “Light Twins,” Rock and Roll.  The former was getting in contact with the Light Labs compound via wireless communications while the latter made a call on a cellular phone.
    “Auto’s locking in the teleport coordinates…” the robotic hero in blue told his counterpart.  “Any luck with the doctor?”     “No…  He’s not picking up!”  She gave him a worried look.  “He’s either already giving his speech, or…”     “Auto!”  Rock turned away, putting his fingers to his helmet’s earpiece.  “Hurry, please!”     A couple of seconds later… a bright beam of rust-colored energy shot into the area, landing across the street from the two.  Once the energy stabilized, it formed into the familiar shape of the Light family dog.     “Thanks, Auto!” the boy called.  He turned his attention to the robotic dog running through the crosswalk, then called, “Jet Mode, boy!”     Rush gave a light bark before leaping into the air.  The two watched as his hind legs curled up, his front legs came to rest near his lowered head, and his body flattened and squared, somewhat.  Not long after, he flew a circle around the two before landing in front of them and giving another chipper “woof.”
    “Stay here, Roll.  I’ll–”     But, before Rock could even think about finishing that thought…     “To the convention center, Rush!  Full-speed!”     Roll had jumped onto the jet-dog and instructed him to fly… which, much to her brother’s dismay…     “Awooo!”     He did!  At least… after he hopped on, as well.
    “Roll!  No!” he told the girl shortly after take-off.  “It could be dangerous!  What–”     “I’m gonna kick that jerk with the dumb fins in the butt so hard!” she countered with a scowl.  “That’ll teach him not to be a potty-mouth!”     “But, Roll…”     “Then, I’m gonna slap that evil Wily for messing up our plans!  We were having so much fun…  How dare he come here and show his ugly moustache where he’s not wanted!”     He gave a blink.  She clearly wasn’t listening…     “Why can’t they just mind their own business, for once?!  Why can’t they…?”     He blinked, again.  Roll – who had hugged him after he boarded their transport – was hugging him a little harder… but, he knew it wasn’t because Rush was flying at top speed.
    “I– it’s okay, Roll!”  Rock smiled back at her before saying, “We’ll beat Doctor Wily and save the day, just like always!  Then, we can go back to seeing the sights of L.A!  In fact…”     When he nudged his head downward, the girl gave a look… only to gasp, a second later.  She’d been so focused on ranting that she hadn’t noticed…     “We’re… we’re so high up!  And… L.A. looks so peaceful, from up here!”
    “I hope we’re here during the night…”     When Roll heard that, she tilted her head.  “Why?”     “You know those nighttime pictures of L.A?” Rock asked.  “Where it’s all lit-up and stuff?”     She paused before telling him, “Yeah?”     “Well… imagine getting to see that for real!”     The girl gave another gasp, her eyes going wide.     “Oh, gosh…!  I hadn’t even thought about that!”     “We’ll have to ask the Doctor about it… after we go see if he’s okay!”     Her bright smile and confident nod filled his heart with happiness.  But, that happiness was a short-lived experience.     “Step on it, Rush!”     “Wurf!”     He knew they had a job to do.
    Before long, the trio had come upon the L.A. Convention Center.  While the view from above was certainly lovely, it simply did not do the building justice.  It wasn’t until they landed that they could truly take in just how large everything was.
    Spanning roughly three city blocks, the entire convention center was comprised of a number of buildings – three main ones and a handful of smaller structures.  To the south was a massive, quarter-circle-shaped building that must have been a few stories tall, but spanned infinitely more space across than that.  Neither Rock nor Roll could even see the other end from where they’d landed and, as they stared… a question arose.     “Where’s… the main door?”
    Rock looked around… but, he couldn’t see anything that looked like a normal door.  There was, however, something right in front of them that he did recognize.     “I… think we landed on the wrong side of the building.”     Roll curiously blinked before taking another look.     “Hmm…  All those big trucks were probably a giveaway, huh?”     They sheepishly grinned at each other.  Neither one of them had really planned for the encounter, and neither of them knew how big the area was.  So…     “Up, boy!”     They hopped back on Rush and surveyed the area a little closer.
    A second look around told them that they did, indeed, land near the loading-and-unloading facility of the main building.  But, a slow sweep around eventually led them to the right side and, as they came down to the entrance… all-at-once, Rock went wide-eyed.     “This is where they have E3, every year!!”     The girl standing behind him leaned around.  “What?”     “I don’t know why I didn’t recognize it!” her companion half-grumbled.  “I watch E3 every year!  It’s so cool, seeing all the new games before they come out!”     The boy looked on, dreamily smiling.  The girl, though, was decidedly less impressed.
    “Focus, Rock!” Roll scolded, redirecting his attention.  “We need to get in there and–”     “Actually… I think the expo is at the other building.”     “What?”  She blinked before asking, “Why?”     “Because of the sign.”     Standing in front of the doors of the South Exhibit Hall was, indeed, a big sign on a tripod which read, “Technology Exposition at West Exhibit Hall.”     “O-oh…”  The girl paused… then, she shook her head.  “Up-and-over, Rush!  Please, hurry!”     With another bark, the trio flew up, over the building, then landed at the other one which was a surprising distance away.
    The West Exhibit Hall – which was… ironically… to the northeast of their previous location, wasn’t nearly as impressive as the South Exhibit Hall.  For the most part, it was just a big, boxy building with few decorations and a lot of solar panels on it.  Though it wasn’t quite as big as the other… it was definitely big enough for just about any sort of event either of them could think of, including…     “‘Technology Exposition!’”     The advertised expo where Dr. Light was attending.
    “‘See the Future of Technology, Today!’” Roll read aloud from a large banner hanging above the main entrance.  “‘The future of technology…?’  What are we?  Chopped liver?”     “I guess there’s still a lot more cool stuff they can do…?  I dunno!  Thanks, boy!”     The two stepped off of Rush and he shifted back into “dog mode” with a bark.     “Roll, try calling the Doctor, again.  I’m gonna head inside and–”     “Oooh, no!” she said, interrupting him with a sharp tone.  “I still wanna teach that foul-mouthed brat a lesson!”     “Roll… don’t take this the wrong way, but…”  He rubbed the back of his helmet and took a hard swallow before telling her, “You’re just a little girl.”     “Little– ‘little girl?!’”     He winced as she shouted at him.  He’d been expecting it… but, it still startled him.     “I am more than just a ‘little girl,’ Rock!” she huffed with an angry, pouting face.  “I can kick just as much robot butt as you!”     “W-w-what I mean is…”  He hesitated.  “You don’t even have any weapons?  Y– yeah, weapons!  You, um, can’t fight without weapons!”     Roll just grinned, leaving him to wonder why.  At least…     “Rush!”     She called to their robo-pup, again.
    Rock blinked in surprise, watching the canine unit leap into the air and change into what looked like ordinary chest armor.  Suddenly, he realized…     “No, wait!”     But, it was too late.  Roll had taken a pose, raised her hand into the air, and with a bright flash of light… she was standing before him, not as a “little girl…” but, as something new, yet familiar, pounding her slightly-larger fists together and grinning.     “I wish you hadn’t done that, Roll…”     “Hey, you’re the one who wanted me to ‘get equipped!’”
    Seated over Roll’s hoodie-dress was a chest-piece which was orange-red in color.  It had a white square sticking out of its middle-top and gray area with four segment lines below that.  The armor came equipped with massive shoulders which housed familiar, yellow energy ports and little, red bolts on the sides.  It also came with a pair of wrist-braces which were red on top, segmented-gray on the underside, and ended in dog paws which hung down over the wearer’s knuckles.  There was no doubt, in Rock’s mind, about what Roll was wearing…
    She was wearing the Rush Power Adapter.  And, she intended to use it.
    “No, I didn’t want you to ‘get equipped!’” the robot in blue told her with a deep frown.  “I wanted you to stay safe!  Do you even know how to use that Adapter…?”     “Rush and I have been practicing!” she proudly exclaimed.  “Watch!”     The boy-robot blinked, watching his counterpart throw a few jabs and a couple of heavy punches, bobbing and weaving like a professional boxer as she made a show of things.     “That’s… that’s nice, Roll, but–”     “Shoryuken!!”     He stopped in his tracks, going wide-eyed as Roll suddenly leaped into the air with a powerful upward punch.  There was an aura of energy surrounding her fist and it even seemed like the attack even amplified her jump height, somewhat.  He was really surprised.  In fact…     “I… I didn’t know Rush could do that!!”     He was a little starry-eyed with admiration.
    Roll grinned as she landed, taking a familiar, cross-armed pose of her friend’s favorite Street Fighter character, her hair and ribbon billowing in a sudden gust of wind.     “Wily’s gonna have to defeat Sheng Long, to stand a chance!” she told him with a grin.     “I wanna try!!  Rush, disengage and–”     He winced, closing his eyes.  Roll had thumped his head – though, only hard enough to get his attention.  When he looked, again… he noticed that she was scowling at him.     “Focus, Rock!” she repeated with a stern voice.  “We’re on a mission, here!”     “R… right– wait, no!” he corrected as he remembered, “Take Rush off!  I want you safe!”     “But, Rock…”     The girl hugged herself, offering the sweetest sort of smile as she told him…     “I’m already super-safe in my warm puppy-hug!”     He blushed a little.  The way she’d said that was so sweet and innocent… yet, seeing her standing there, wearing power armor, still made him worry.     “Relax, Rock!”  She smiled, standing at-ease before patting him hard enough to make his helmet slip down.  “Power Roll is here to save the day!”     “But…” he quietly murmured as he fixed his helmet, “who’s gonna save Power Roll…?”     “You?  Duh?”  She giggled, then she cleared her throat.  “Let’s head in, huh?”     He didn’t like it, but… he didn’t see any way to talk her out of it.  So…     “R… right.”     They headed to the entrance.  Together.
    “– tools, not ‘friends!’” was the first thing they heard as they opened one of the doors.  They both recognized the voice, but Rock recognized the message: Dr. Wily was on the public announcement speaker system and broadcasting his usual anti-AI propaganda…     “It’s a waste of time, energy, and most importantly… money!” he continued.  “We shouldn’t be allocating resources to write and re-write meaningless programs that simulate humanity!  We should be focusing on improving the functionality of the robots, themselves – making them faster, stronger, better!  Fellow scientists, I give you… the Doctor Wily Double Gear System!  Patent pending.”
    “The ‘Double-What’ System?’” Roll asked as she and Rock snuck inside… though, as they quickly noticed, it didn’t really seem necessary.     There were a-hundred-and-one empty booths and exhibits which should have been showing off the latest-and-greatest technology of the day… but, there wasn’t a single human or even any intelligent robots anywhere to be seen.  The entire exhibit hall… was completely devoid of anything that could have told them what was going on.
    “I don’t like this…” the boy-robot said as he stood up and looked around a little more, inadvertently ignoring his teammate’s question.  “Where is everyone…?”     “Maybe, they’re all in the stage area – wherever that is?” Roll guessed, speaking over the voice of Dr. Wily… who was carrying on about his new device, from the sound of it.  “Do you think Doctor Wily rounded everyone up just to make them listen…?”     “That seems like something he’d do… but, he wouldn’t leave himself unguarded.”     “What do you mean, Rock?”     “Well…”  He gestured toward the exhibits.  “There’s usually at least a few random robots guarding the area.  A Roader team… a Sniper Joe unit… something!  But, there isn’t even something like a little Met!  So, either Doctor Wily’s getting sloppy, or…”     “Or… this is a trap?”     “Yeah…”  He paused, then he blinked.  “Roll, did your voice get deeper, for a second…?”     “Wh-what’s that supposed to mean?!” she huffed, giving him a dirty look.  “I didn’t even say anything!”     “No, but I did!”     “Huh?!”
    Both robots turned their attention in the direction of the voice.  When they did…     “Gah!”     All of the overhead lights turned off… only for a spotlight to appear over Rock.     “Ladies and gentlemen,” they heard Dr. Wily call over the speakers, “let’s welcome our very special guest to the exposition!  It’s ‘The Blue Bomber,’ himself… Megaman!”     “Doctor Wily!” Rock shouted over a recording of applause.  “Show yourself!!”     “And, introducing for the first time… for the last time,” Wily continued after a moment, “the new-and-improved version of my most brilliant creation!  Let’s give a big round of applause for the one… the only… King II!”     “‘King?!’  ‘Two?!’”     Another spotlight appeared in the distance, revealing a tall, imposing form that the hero-‘bot hadn’t seen in a long time…
    Standing with his back to them was a figure which wore a headdress made of two ax heads on a golden helmet.  His royal-blue cloak covered the rest of his body… until he threw it aside and turned around, that is.  Dressed and decorated in golden plate mail armor, the figure stood under the spotlight, shining and sparkling like the radiant ruler he was intended to be, his blue cape waving under an artificial breeze and his piercing, blue eyes leveled right at Rock.
    “King, it’s me!” he called as he stepped forward, “Megaman!”     “I know who you are!” a powerful voice boomed across the room.  “You are the enemy of my people… the enemy of my master!”     He drew his cape away from his other arm and, with a flash of light, a long pole materialized in his waiting hand, a spike on both ends and a large, half-moon blade appearing at the top.  Rock recognized it as King’s signature halberd-style pole-ax… the same weapon his lost brother, Protoman, had once been felled by.     “Bow down before your king!” the significantly-taller figure ordered as he pointed a blue hand toward his enemies.  “Bow… or perish.”     “What’s wrong with him, Rock…?” Roll asked, snapping the hero out of his daze of disbelief.  “You don’t think Doctor Wily brainwashed him, again… do you?”     “I… I don’t know…” was all he could say, not knowing what to think…
    “Well?” King impatiently asked.  “What will it be?  Serve your liege… or, be cut down by your superior?”     “You’re supposed to be our friend!” Roll suddenly shouted back.  “Megaman helped you see that violence never solves anything!  Besides, why would the King of Robots wanna help a smelly, old human who just wants to take over the world?!”     “Silence!” was the monarch’s answer.  “You shall not speak ill of my master, girl!”     “Wily’s just using you!  Again!” she countered and an angry look.  “Snap out of it!”     “I was built by Lord Wily for the sole purpose of leading the robots to a bright, new future in which they do as they’re told and serve mankind!  If you cannot see that, ignorant child, then you shall be the first to fall under the New Wily Order!”     “Just try it, you gold-suited bully!!”
    With a series of loud clicks, all the lights of the area turned back on.  Not long after… high-energy music started pouring out from the speakers, causing the two child-like robots to look at each other in confusion.  Shortly after, they both looked back at King.  He was making another speech…
    “Bow to your ruler or fall to your superior, it makes no difference.  Either way…”     The large robot twirled his halberd and struck a pose before saying…     “You will submit to your King!”
    Both Rock and Roll watched as King took one mighty leap across the expo center, then both scattered as he brought his weapon down, cleaving the floor with an explosive burst of energy!  Not a second later, his attention turned to the latter as she scrambled to get to her feet.     “Stupid… heavy…” she grumbled before freezing, wide-eyed.     “Perish.”     King had taken another leap!     “Roll…!!  Look out…!!”     His pole-ax was heading right for her face!     The girl-robot, cried out, closed her eyes, and in a blind panic, brought her hands up in front of her!  Not long after… the ax hit her.
    “What… what trickery is this?!”
    When Roll opened her eyes, again… she noticed that she was staring down the blade of an ax-head which was crackling with green energy.  She also noticed something else…     “Oh… oh, my gosh…!”     Without meaning to… she’d, evidently, caught the weapon between her hands and stopped it, cold!  Or, maybe… Rush did?  She wasn’t sure.  Either way, she knew she’d prevented the attack.  And, in doing so, she suddenly realized… as scary as he seemed…     “Roll Upper!!”     She could take the self-proclaimed “King of Robots,” herself!
    After taking a pretty hefty blow to the face, King flew high into the air.  Embarrassed and confused by his slip-up, he flipped over, his cape violently whipping around him, then he landed on his feet, some distance away.     “Impertinent youth…” he vocally spat.  “Have you no respect for the Order?!”     “‘Order,’ eh?”  She grinned at Rock, giving him a wink.  “Who does he think he is?”     “I am your King!!” the majestic robot shouted, clearly offended by her disrespect.     Rock was trying not to laugh as he heard her say, “Well… I didn’t vote for you!”     “Y–”  The self-proclaimed monarch nearly fell over.  “You don’t vote for kings!”     Roll was having a hard time containing her own laughter as she grinned and asked, “Well… how do you become ‘king,’ then?”     Infuriated by her query, King roared at the girl, “I was created to be king!!” while spinning his halberd with both hands and charging.  He’d clearly had enough of her sass.     “That’s not the next line, silly!”
    Roll laughed as she hopped to one side, letting him smash into – well, through – several exhibits.  The king roared as he cleared the debris from his crash site and charged, again.     “You will taste the blade of the golden ax, Bash!”     “Your ax is named ‘Bash?’”     She laughed even harder as the temperamental monarch whiffed another swing at her.     “Shouldn’t it be called ‘Chop,’ or ‘Cutter,’ or–”     “I will fell you like so much timber, you insufferable little upstart!”     “So, you’re Cutman, now?” she taunted as the crackling blade missed her not once, not twice, but three times!  It wasn’t that she was fast… no, not in that armor.  King was just getting that frustrated by her ongoing dialogue!
    “Go, Roll!” Rock cheered as he watched his sister show up King.  He’d felt uncomfortable, sitting on the sidelines… at first.  After watching Roll handle herself so skillfully, though… he didn’t see anything to worry about!  Plus, he believed in fair play, anyway!  Unfortunately… the next person to speak didn’t seem to have that same mindset.
    “King II!!” Dr. Wily’s voice suddenly called from the speakers.  “What are you doing?!  Use your new upgrades and destroy that little girl!”     “In due time, Lord Wily!” King called back as he took another swipe at Roll.  “I wish to lull her into a false sense of–”     “You’re not fooling anyone, you incompetent robot!  Oh, you’re almost as bad as the first King!  Now, stop fooling around and activate your Double Gear System!”     King growled under his breath… then, he leaped back from the fray.     “Giving up?” Roll panted with another grin.  “I can keep going all day!”     Though she’d said that… she was actually bluffing.
    Rock had been right to worry about her using the Power Rush Adapter – it wasn’t intended for her and, though she had no problems using it… the armor was starting to put a strain on her body; every movement she made was slowly draining her energy and, if she wasn’t careful… she’d end up passing out from the strain.
    “Speed Gear…”     “Sorry?  What– yeek!!”     “Roll…!!”     Rock gasped, watching as King suddenly appeared behind his sister, knocking her legs out from under her!  Before he could even blink, he heard her scream, fly across the room, and crash into a random pile of folding tables!  From what he could tell… the lightning-fast monarch had kicked her.  But… he hadn’t seen him move, much less attack!  He couldn’t understand it!
    “Ch– cheap shot!” Roll cried as she got to her feet.  “I–”     “Power Gear!”     Her eyes shot open.  King was glowing with power!  Instinctively, she crossed her arms over her and steadied herself, ready for another attack.  And, shortly after the larger robot took a violent, crackling swing at the floor…     “Roll!  Look out!!”     “Aaaaahh…!!”
    Once again, Roll was hit by a powerful attack from her opponent – a nasty shockwave of energy that propelled her through several other exhibits, only to come to a clattering halt in another area of the conference, entirely!     “Why, that…!  O-ouch…”     She was a little damaged and felt kind of embarrassed and angry – with herself – for not dodging such a slow-moving, powerful attack.  Berating herself would have to wait, however, as something infinitely-more-important drew her attention shortly after her broken landing…
    “Behold, the genius of Doctor Wily!”
