Chapter nine: Operation: Tickle Lan (p2)-The Calm After the Storm

You thought I forgot about the 2nd part to the 1st one, didn’t you. Nope! This is a happy ending.

----Yai’s Mansion----

“Maylu!” her friends cried as she slowly began to fade away.

Maylu looked at Valencia with tears in her eyes. “No! Turn me back! Please!”

Valencia smiled in her evil way. “In my body, you’re going to die for good, never to return! Once you’re gone, I’ll be dealing with your friends!” As she turned toward them, they all took one step back and shivered. She looked back at Maylu, who had almost completely faded away. “Goodbye, Maylu Sakurai! Once and for all!”

“Maylu!” Roll cried again, trying to grab for her hand. But Megaman held her back. “It’s too late now,” he said looking down. “There’s nothing we can do . . .”

“And good riddance!” Valencia called. But a surprised look surfaced on her face. After a flash of white light, Maylu wasn’t disappearing-she was reappearing.

“NO!” Valencia yelled. “YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE GONE!”

But Maylu only smiled. “Remember this, Valencia: You can’t fully harm your family without harming yourself.” Her friends gasped.

“Does that mean-” Yai began. Maylu nodded. “I’m a descen-dant of the Matsumushi family.”

Valencia became overwhelmed with anger. “You worthless bitch! You knew it all along, didn’t you? You knew the story was true, and you wanted to stop me!” Maylu nodded again.

“So, does that mean you’re a vampire?” Roll asked.

“Yes, but because that practice stopped long ago, I don’t do that disgusting, blood-drinking thing,” Maylu replied. “I didn’t know you had a ‘spirit’ that allowed you to live all these years, Valencia, but you’re staying dead after tonight.” Valencia winced at her, but then stopped as she felt light-headed. Their souls were switching back. Maylu’s friends squinted their eyes, trying to see what was happening inside of the bright-blue barrier. When it disappeared, the two girls went back to normal, but Valencia began to disappear.

“This cannot be!” she announced. “My plan . . . it was flawless!”

Maylu shook her head. “Or so you thought. It will be nice not having you around anymore. You are-well, were-such a nuisance.”

Valencia growled. “I’ll get you back for this! Just you wait!”

Maylu placed her hands on her hips. “I wouldn’t count on it,” she replied as the last of Valencia’s body vanished into thin air. Maylu sighed and fell to her knees. Her friends rushed to her aid.

“Maylu! Are you okay?” Roll asked, kneeling beside her. Catching her breath, she looked at her navi and grinned.

“Yeah, Roll. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.” Roll smiled back at her.

----The Next Morning----

“Yawn. Good Morning, Lan,” Megaman said, getting up out of bed. “Lan? Did you here me?” He walked over to his bed and looked around the room, but Lan wasn’t there. “Where could he be?” Megaman walked downstairs to the kitchen and heard voices. Loud, arguing, angry voices. And it seemed like Lan’s was one of them. Shaking his head, he headed into the kitchen.

“Maylu, that’s impossible! There’s no such thing as vampires!” Lan said.

“Yes there is! I am one!” Maylu replied.

“Riiiight. Maylu, I think you need some sleep,” Dex said.

Maylu placed her hands on her hips. “You three can’t be serious. You can’t remember anything that happened in the last two days?”

Gutsman scratched his head. “We were here for two days? But didn’t the sleepover start last night?” Maylu sighed.

“No wonder you’re a good writer,” Lan said. “You have a great imagination. But don’t you think you’re taking it too far now? I mean, come on! You’re saying that some vampire that you’re the descendant of took control of Megaman, tried to kill him, tried to ‘drink our blood’, tried to kill all of us, and live in your body?”

“To put everything in a nutshell, yes.” Everyone turned around.

“Good Morning, Megaman,” Maylu said. “Maybe you can explain to these two IDIOTS what happened on Halloween and yesterday.”

“We’re not idiots!” Lan exclaimed. “It’s common sense! There is no such thing as vampires!”

“As much as I want to agree with you, Lan, Maylu’s right about what she said. You’re a probably suffering from amnesia or something,” Megaman said.

Lan rolled his eyes. “Oh no, Megaman, not you, too.” Lan sighed. “Even if by some crazy chance that Maylu really IS telling the truth, you don’t have any proof!”

“Oh yeah? Then why are there bite marks on the sides of your necks?” Maylu questioned. Lan and Dex felt both sides of their necks. “Here we go again.” Dex said. “There’s nothing there!”

Now even Megaman was surprised. “But that’s impossible!” he exclaimed, inspecting his net-op. “Those bruises couldn’t have healed over night!”

“It’s just like we said-no vampires,” Gutsman replied. Megaman shook his head and took Maylu out into the hallway.

“What are we going to do? They’re not going to believe us no matter what we say!” Maylu said.

Megaman thought for a moment, then smirked. He whispered something in Maylu’s ear and she smirked, too. “After all this time, you still want to do that?” Megaman nodded. “But later today.” Maylu agreed and went to tell the others about what Megaman said. Megaman walked back into the kitchen.

“Okay, so we did make up the whole thing,” he said. “But you guys have been here for two days. Whether you remember or not is your problem. What’s the last thing you remember, anyway?”

Lan thought for a moment. “The last thing I remember was getting ready to come here.”

“The last thing I remember was getting an email from Yai saying something about some operation taking place,” Dex replied.

This peaked Lan’s interest. “What kind of operation?” he asked. He didn’t remember that Maylu had already told him on Halloween. Dex shrugged his shoulders. “I’m not sure. I don’t remember what it was about.”

“Phew,” Megaman said with a sigh of relief. Lan turned around. “What was that for?” he asked.

“Nothing!” Megaman quickly said, and began to leave the room.

“Hold it, Megaman! You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?” Lan interrogated. Instead of turning around, Megaman only gulped. Lan and his stupid curiosity! How am I gonna get out of this one? Megaman finally turned around and tried to laugh it off. “What would make you think something like that?” he asked, grinning, slowly backing into the hallway.

Lan crossed his arms. “You’re not getting away that easily,” he said. Megaman gasped as Dex and Gutsman grabbed his arms and dragged him to the middle of the room. “I’m only gonna ask you one more time, Megaman. What are you hiding from me?”

Megaman bit his lip, nervously thinking of a valid excuse to save him, but no ideas were coming to him. He gulped again. He still wanted to get Lan back for getting him in trouble with that chocolate cake, and since everyone was in on the whole tickle plan, he didn’t want to give it away.

“Well?” Lan asked. “We’re waiting!”

Megaman looked down to the floor. “Well, um, you see . . .” Megaman bit his lip again. I can’t think of anything! This is bad. Very, very bad. Megaman snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a voice call out to him.

“Megaman!” He looked up. Roll was at the doorway. “Sorry if I interrupted your, conversation, Lan, but I gotta ask Megaman something important.” Seeing this as his time to escape, he slide out from the three-person-circle surrounding him and left the room with Roll. Lan became angry. “He always finds a way out of something, doesn’t he? Now I’ll never know what he was going to say! Odds are I’m not gonna corner him again. . .” He sighed. “Well then let’s go pack,” Dex suggested, and they headed upstairs.

----Hallway----

“Thank you sooooooo much,” Megaman said. “I was stuck between a rock and a hard place back there.”

Roll smiled. “I figured that. That’s why I came and got you. But I really do have something to ask you. How are we going to get Lan alone so we can tickle him?”

“Leave that to me,” Megaman said. “But I’m not doing anything unless you keep your end of the deal.”

Roll looked at him confused. “Which was?”

Megaman licked his lips. “Chocolate cake,” he replied, and Roll rolled her eyes and sighed.

----5 p.m.----

“What is it?” Lan asked Megaman. “What does she want to tell me?” Megaman shrugged his shoulders as he walked own the hallway. “I have no idea, but she sure seemed angry about it.” Lan gulped. Oh man! What could I have done to Maylu to make her so mad? Now that I think about it, I don’t want to know anymore. He knocked on Maylu’s door.

“Who is it?” she asked from inside, trying to sound as angry as possible.

“It’s Lan,” he said, opening the door. When he walked in, he saw Maylu standing next to her bed, violently tapping her foot with her arms folded. Lan looked down to the floor.

“Maylu, whatever I did, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it, really! Please let me live!” He looked up when the constant tapping of her foot stopped.

“I’ve been waiting awhile for you to apologize about making fun of me on my bad hair day,” she said.

“Wait, that’s what this is about?” Lan was relieved. “I thought you were going to kill me!”

Maylu smirked. “Not kill-torture. And that’s not the only thing this is about.” Lan whirled around as the door slammed shut behind him. “Megaman? Why are you here?”

“You didn’t just think I’d let you get away with getting me in trouble, did you? We all had a time you did something and we wanted to get you back for it. Now we are.” Megaman locked the door as Yai, Gutsman, Glide, Dex, and Roll came out of their hiding places.

Lan panicked. “W-What’s going on?” No one answered him. Everyone began to close in on him.

“TICKLE ATTACK!” Yai screamed and pushed Lan on top of the bed. Lan knew what was happening, but he couldn’t get away. Everyone was tickling him. No matter which way he squirmed, it only got worse.

“Stop!” he cried, but it didn’t do him any good. “Ha-ha-ha! Quit it! Please! Ha-ha!” He just couldn’t stop laughing.

“Get his feet!” Lan heard someone yell, and he quickly started kicking the hands that were snatching his socks off. He fought with Maylu, trying to stop her from getting to his feet, but someone else was holding them down.

“Get off!” he yelled, but his voice was drowned out by all of his own laughing. I can’t take this anymore! They’re holding me down so I can’t move and getting me everywhere! If I keep laughing so hard I’ll go crazy!

Megaman grinned, seeing Lan struggling to get free. This was so worth it. I can’t believe he’s giving up! Guess ‘cause he sees he’s over powered he won’t do anything.

Lan held his ribs. They felt like they were going to burst. “Please, stop! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Cut it out! Ha-ha-ha! Get off of me! Ha-ha-ha!” Megaman gave the signal to stop and Lan could feel the hands lifting away from him. Lan breathed quickly and finally caught his breath. He sat up in bed and glared at everyone in the room. “That WAS NOT funny!” he yelled with the little bit of energy he had left. He took a deep breath and fell back onto the bed.

“You wanna know what I think?” Roll asked.

“What?” Lan replied.

“I think you can survive for another four rounds!” she announced, as everyone pounced back on Lan to tickle him.

----1 hour later----

“They’re not gone yet?” Maylu asked, giving Lan a glass of water.

“No-hic. I’ve tried-hic everything, but-hic nothing’s working! You guys-hic just had to get back-hic at me, didn’t-hic you?” Lan said, taking a sip of water.

“I didn’t organize it; Megaman did. Remember that book you took out of the library?” Maylu asked. Lan nodded. “Now that this is over, what are you going to do with it?”

“Give it back-hic to the library,” he replied. “If I keep pranking him, he’ll probably do this again! And you know how much I hate to be tickled.”

“Hey, your hiccups are gone!” Maylu said. But as soon as she said it, Lan went through another hiccupping fit.

“They’re never going away!” he exclaimed angrily, and Maylu laughed.

And now, the story ends! Clap-clap-clap!Standing Ovation
