FLUFFY THE VIRUS SLAYER I: new beginnings

To the many reboot fans out there. I would like to inform you that all my work (so far) is written in a series. You do not necessarily NEED to read the first series to understand this one, the second, but it might help and you might understand a few things better. Also I found that I never mentioned MY take on the time differences...so I will put that into play now, I hope that it wasn't that necessary in the first series.

first installment: hunting season

In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the viruses, the users and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.

Dot looked at her shoulder length hair in the mirror. She brushed it quietly without care, wondering if she was going to cut it back to normal or not. Bob had said often enough he liked it, and it wasn't its appearance that made her grimace at the look of it. The red and green viral highlights were gone, but even just looking at it made her think of Megabyte.

He had left her that little bit, as though it were his last jab. She changed out of her queen attire easily. But her hair, it was beautiful, and a sad reminder. It had been two cycles since the whole incident, and though everyone and everything was back to normal. She had never really sat down and discussed what had happened to her with Bob.

He believed she didn't remember a lot about the whole thing, especially since she didn't remember him when she was viral. She remembered everything clearly though. Including what Bob had told her in her bedroom.

Unfortunately, to him it was nothing. Once she was ok, they AGAIN went back to their regular friendly way. She then realized he was waiting for her, showing that he supported her.

She put her hair up and headed for the diner.

When she walked in Bob was sitting at the counter drinking an energy shake. Instantly she smiled. It had been long enough and she was ready to tell him that.

"Hi" she said with her smile and sat on the stool beside him.

"Hi" he said in a very moody voice.

Dot frowned, maybe this wasn't the best time, or it could be the perfect time she told herself. She touched his hand, hoping he understood the sign.

"Is something wrong?" she asked sweetly.

"Everything's wrong, I woke up to a construction crew outside my apartment, and when I finally got up and got down there it turns out there building a new apartment block right beside the eight ball apartment. So it's going to loud around they're for cycles, and I wont sleep, and who knows? Maybe I wont be prepared for a game."

"You can stay at my place if you like" she said since he didn't even acknowledge the hand touching.

"Well then where will..." he said looking at her, when he did he saw the invitation in her eyes.

"Ooooooohhhhhh..." he said and blushed. Dot giggled, Bob rarely blushed, she had only seen it twice, and this was the third time in all the days she had known him.

"Hehehe, but um, are you sure, shouldn't we talk about this?" he asked quietly.

"Don't get any ideas, we can talk when your there" she said, smiling inside.

"Now that that's settled I'll see you tonight, I have to go to work."

Mouse was waiting for dot at the principle office.

"Where have you been suga? We have been waiting for you for the last 20 micros."

"Asking Bob to move..."

"YOU ASKED HIM TO MOVE IN?" mouse interrupted excitedly.

"Temporarily, there's construction going on in Kit's, near his apartment."

"Temporary, sure it is, not by the time construction is done."

Mouse and Dot giggled.

Dot looked over towards the picture of Phong on the wall. She smiled sadly hoping the guardians could find away to heal him. He was in critical condition in another system of the net. They had taken him, barely still there, to the guardian hospital, where he could get the best treatment possible. They only did it because of Bob, another reason to love him more. They planned to go see him tomorrow, after work.

Enzo was already there. He was fascinated by the guardian ways. Especially since Bob and now Matrix were both Guardians. He had asked Dot if he could go to the Academy several times. Yet Bob and Matrix were the guardians for this group of systems, she knew that they would place Enzo on the other side of the net. They didn't need too many guardians in close proximity to each other. She was lucky that Matrix was stationed in the neighbouring system. Matrix and AndrAIa lived there, and she could go visit them whenever she liked.

When she got home Bob was sitting on the couch listening to Mike babble on about the super computer.

"It was BIG and SHINY!, and then facing daemon I struggled and fought her with all my will power and strength, I fought for a good long while too, but then I didn't really see it's full beauty till I stopped struggling. Do you know what I mean Bob?"

"Yes Mike, I've been there."

Dot decided to save Bob by interrupting.

"Having fun you two?" she asked, both Bob and Mike turned to see her. Instantly Bob smiled, Dot smiled at Bob.

Mike looked between the two and made a snort.

"I downloaded a movie, Bob, Kate and Leopold?"

"Oh great a MOVIE! See this is prefect I hear that Meg Ryan is really good and that Hugh Jackman is really also, but romantic comedy Dot? I mean I thought you were more the business type."

Dot scornfully looked at Mike.

"Oh I see, NO room FOR MIKIE, little mike your good friend, the one who has saved you all sooooooooo many times"

Bob and Dot just stared at mike.

"Ok, not as much SAVED as got in the WAY, but my intentions were good, but, you need a TV. to watch a MOVIE!"

"My media player will work just fine Mike" Dot said, pushing him towards the door.

" But movies on those things are sooo 100k, it's not even CLE... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, this is a YOU and BOB movie, so you guys are going to be alone, as in you, and BOB, completely and totally alone, probably not to watch a movie either"

"MIKE!" dot and Bob exclaimed

"Out the door for me, so Dot and Bob can be ALONE, don't worry, your secrets safe with me, and the rest of mainframe residence, ta ta" Mike exclaimed as he ran out the door.

Dot locked it behind her and sighed, when she turned to face Bob, he was blushing again, they looked at each other obviously uncomfortably, and laughed...

Dot when and connected the movie to her player, the waited for it to buffer, and the snuggled close and watched, finally they relaxed enough and just sat there watching...

Half way through Dot decided that it was probably best to tell him how she felt.

"Bob? Well, here's the thing, and PLEASE let me finish before commenting. Listen I want to try again, well obviously, I mean were sitting right here, but I mean try-try, because I remember what you said in the principle office about loving me no matter what, and I feel the same way about you, so can we?"

Dot's heart skipped a beat when there was no reply, she looked up at his face, and found Bob fast asleep.

She smiled lightly, covered him up and watched the rest of the movie until she fell asleep too.
