CHARACTERS: Sunuru, ProtoMan, MegaMan, Kilk, Kehl, Gabriel, Sheenai, Daycee, Keyki, Dad, Mom
PREVIOUSLY: Sunuru had freed eight Cyberus from the computer, but didn't remember that her parents might not approve. Now her father is calling her downstairs, and Keyki is a bit suspicious of the strange voices coming from upstairs...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Sunuru walks downstairs, with all the Cyberus following silently behind her.)
SUNURU: Okay guys, I'm sure if you all act appropriately around my parents, they'll love you. So, remember... ACT NORMAL.
PROTOMAN: Got it. We'll follow yer orders, kid.
(Sunuru steps into the kitchen, but the Cyberus are still waiting on the staircase.)
SUNURU: Hey, Mom; hi, Dad!
MOM: Hi, Sunuru. We heard some voices coming from upstairs, and we were wondering what it was. Maybe it was just our imaginations...
SUNURU: Actually...
(All the Cyberus come into the kitchen.)
DAD: Oh my--
SUNURU: Here we go... Guys, I can explain this whole thing. Whether you believe me or not is your choice.
MOM: Go on...
SUNURU: This pop-up window on my computer ended up showing this big world of miniature digital people called Cyberus. They told me that they needed a place to run to, for they're losing a war against--uh...
MEGAMAN: Laricou.
SUNURU: Yeah, him! So, they transferred their data into some of my dolls. That's the whole story.
DAD: That story IS hard to actually believe.
MOM: Well, they're walking and talking without Sunuru's help--that's just about as logical as a world inside of the computer.
DAD: I don't know about THAT.
SHEENAI: That's the truth, though; no matter how absurd it may sound.
DAD: So what do all you little people want us to do? Take care of all of you like pets while you're safe from a war?
MOM: Sunuru, we just don't know about this.
SUNURU: They're my friends! Please let them stay! I don't want them getting hurt back in the computer!
MOM: I think that might just be our best option. How can we feed all of those Cyber--things?
MEGAMAN: We don't need to eat! We're digital--so we don't have to.
SHEENAI: Except me. I need to take the power from other Cyberus, but that won't be a problem to you.
MEGAMAN: We don't wanna leave!!!
MOM: Honey...?
DAD: That's an awful lot of responsibility, Sunuru. I have a feeling you might be a little too young for pets. I think those guys can survive in their computer world without our help.
PROTOMAN: Hey, listen!!! UNLESS YA'LL WANT SWORDS THROUGH YER--
SUNURU: ProtoMan, no!
MOM: See? They're too much for us to handle!
DAYCEE: No, please... We can't go back! We can't hold off the Kayon army any longer.
KEYKI: Hey, who are these little guys, Sunuru?
(Sunuru turns around to see her younger brother standing there.)
SUNURU: Keyki?
KEYKI: They're so cool! Mom, Dad, can we keep them?
(Mom and Dad look at each other.)
MOM: Are you sure you'll be able to take good care of all of them?
SUNURU: Of course. Keyki and I BOTH will care for them.
DAD: And will you make sure they don't cause any trouble?
KEYKI: Yeah! This'll be totally cool!
MOM: Okay. They can stay.
KEYKI & SUNURU: Wahoo!!
(Dad looks uncertainly down at ProtoMan.)
DAD: You're... Proto-man?
PROTOMAN: ProtoMan.
DAD: You're kinda loud for a little guy, aren't you?
PROTOMAN: Yup. When I gotta be.
MOM: I have a feeling you'll be someone Sunuru will be good friends with.
PROTOMAN: I'll make sure to be, ma'am.
DAD: Good. Just remember that you're in OUR house. That means you and your little friends will have to obey OUR rules.
GABRIEL: Oh no...
KILK: Not RULES!!
MOM: Yes, rules.
DAD: Rule #1: You are Sunuru's pets. Therefore, you must follow her orders.
MOM: Rule #2: If you make a mess, CLEAN IT UP.
DAD: Rule #3: If any of you have high-powered weapons, please keep them to yourselves.
MOM: Rule #4: If any more of you come here, you'll all have to explain these rules to the newcomers.
DAD: Rule #5: If you get sick, we are not responsible for any mess clean-ups you may make, and Sunuru must buy you medicine, and tend to you. We are NOT in charge of that, though we will keep you company.
MOM: Last rule.
DAD: There's one more?
MOM: Yes. It's the rule that all Sunuru's friends must follow.
KEHL: What is that, ma'am?
MOM: You can't have fun. You can all enjoy yourselves... just no fun. *winks*
KILK: Okay, dude!
SUNURU: Thank you so much!! I'll take really good care of these guys, I promise.
MEGAMAN: What do you guys wanna do now?
KEYKI: Why don't we go outside and play?
SUNURU & CYBERUS: Okay!!
(They all run out the front door, thanking Mom and Dad as they go.)
DAD: Did we just make a really big mistake?
MOM: No. I think this will be really fun.
