The wind. It was all you could here. Silence was in the atmosphere. Zero and I looked at each other. Our sabers gazed,looking directly at one another. We readied our stance.A powerful reploid vs a powerful human. Anything could happen.

Me:Hey Zero, how bout a bet?
Zero:What do you have in mind?
Me:If I win,you have to style your hair into a bun. If you win, I'll dress up as a girl for two hours.
Zero:Alright then.
Reploid Ref:Alright,whoever can knock their opponents saber off their hand is the winner. Ready... 3....2...1...DUEL!

Zero and I lunged at each other at full speed.We were evenly matched. Countering each others attacks, dodging them.A few minutes, and no results. The sounds of two sabers clashing at the same time. Tension was rising to see who would win.

Me:I gotta admit. You're stronger than I thought.
Zero:Same to you.But I'm not ready to give up.
Me:Same here.

We dashed at each other a second time only to have our sabers clash at each other yet again. Not once did we lay a single hit. One final dash and..... *CLANG*.A huge cloud of dust soon covered us up. It was hard to tell who won. But once it was cleared...

Everyone:HUH!?
Zero and I:!?
Reploid Ref:Both combatants sabers have been knocked out of their hands. As such, this duel is a draw.
Zero and I:Damn it.
Zero:Good fight.
Me:Yea.Same to you. But...that means we both have to do our bet.
Zero:........well shit.
Ciel:I'll get everything ready.
Kathy:I'm coming with you.

~A few minutes later~

Ciel:Alright you two, come on out.
Me:No.I look ridiculous.
Kathy:Come out now or we'll force you too.
Me:*sigh* Fine.

Zero and I stepped out.And as soon as we did, everyone started laughing.

Denise:Hey Cristian, that skirt really suits you.
Me:Go burn in hell. Can I take this off now?
Kathy:I'm sorry, but if I remember correctly,you said you were gonna wear a dress for two hours.
Me:Fuck my life. At least you don't have it as worse Zero.
Zero:I actually don't mind having my hair tied into a bun.
Everyone Else:Huh?
Zero:What?It keeps my hair shorter.
Axl:HA GAAAYYYY!!
Zero:SHUT UP AXL!!
Me:Ok then. That was awkward.
Denise:Hey,since you're dressed as a girl, can I call you Christina?
Me:You have five seconds to run.
Denise:Uh oh.
Me:GET BACK HERE!!!
Kathy:*sigh* There they go again.

~2 hours later~

Me:Hey you two, it's time for us to go.
Ciel:You three are leaving already?
Me:Yea.We'd like to stick around, but we have our own world to go back to. With our own responsibilities.It's been fun being with you all,but...I guess this is goodbye.

I grabbed Dr.Lights device and opened the portal back to our world.

Zero:Cris,thanks for everything.We're gonna miss you, old friend.And hey, get stronger alright?
Me:Same to you pal.And Ciel, thanks again for the biometals.
Ciel:You're welcome. I hope they become of assistance in your world.
Me:I believe they will. Axl?
Axl:Yea?
Me:Stay out of trouble alright?
Axl:I'll try.
Me:And X, uhhh nothing much I can say but good luck.
X:Same to you.
Denise:Bye everyone. Take care.
Kathy:Goodbye.Maybe we'll meet up again.
Me:Oh yea,before I forget. Scarlett.
Scarlett:Hm?
Me:Keep an eye on Axl and Zero for me, alright?
Scarlett:Alright.
Me:Later.May we cross paths again at some point.

~Back in the Real World~

Me:Feels good to be back.
Denise:Yea.What day is it today?
Kathy:It's Saturday.
Me:That's good.
Kathy:Oh shit.
Me:What's wrong sweetheart?
Kathy:We've been gone for three weeks.
Me: O_O
Denise: O_O
Denise and I:WHAT!?
Kathy:Uh huh.
The Three of Us:We're so fucked.

~And with that our heroes return home, only to find out they're gonna go through a lot of shit.May our heroes have mercy.~
