Thanks for the reviews, everyone. I'll try to clear everything up in this chapter. And to those of you asking about the Transer, the Star Carrier replaces it in Mega Man Star Force 2, after which this story takes place. Sorry for any confusion. So without any further ado, here's Chapter 2!

Chapter 2

Luna continued following Geo and Sonia.

She HAD to know what Geo's mother would say. She knew that her own parents would've said no in an instant. But she also knew Hope Stelar was a big fan of Sonia, and this worried her. Could she possibly say yes? She felt ridiculous sneaking around and hiding in bushes, but she had to find out.

Geo and Sonia hadn't said much during their walk. He still seemed to be a bit shellshocked, so Sonia tried explaining some more.

"My manager is actually the one who insisted I move. He didn't want to drive me as far as Echo Ridge every day for school. I figured I could take the Wave Road every day, but people would probably be suspicious about how I can travel 50 miles to school without a car. So, I decided to move."

"I don't buy it," came Mega's voice from Geo's Star Carrier.

"Mega!" Geo scolded.

"But I don't. There are plenty of options available to a superstar singer. And I haven't been on Earth very long, but I have a hard time believing Echo Ridge Elementary is the closest school to your old one."

"Well...I..." Sonia seemed at a loss for words. She hadn't counted on Mega asking so many questions.

Lyra, the FM-ian living in Sonia's Star Carrier, tried to bail out her partner.

"There are other schools closer to her old one, but none of them have the classes she wants. And since nearly everyone in Echo Ridge is used to her being here, she won't get too much attention for being a singer."

"Uh-huh," Mega replied. He still didn't buy it.

"Oh look, we're here!" Sonia exclaimed, quickly changing the subject. They had arrived at the Stelar house.

"Let's go ask your mom!"

"Alright," Geo simply stated. Mega sighed. Sometimes that kid was just too gullible.

Luna had also heard Mega's questions, which reinforced her thought that Sonia was just trying to get with Geo.

"This can't be just about school. There's just no way," Luna thought to herself.

As she watched Geo and Sonia enter the house, Luna scurried around back to find a suitable hiding spot to hear the conversation that was about to take place.

"Well, hello Sonia! We haven't seen you in a few days," Hope's voice rang out.

"Perfect," Luna thought. "I can hear everything."

"Well, I actually came here to ask you something, Ms. Stelar. I..."

Geo sensed Sonia's hesitation.

"Sonia wants to move in," Geo blurted.

"Is this true, dear?" Hope said, clearly surprised.

Sonia nodded.

"What for?"

"Well, my old school is closing down, so I figured I could go to Echo Ridge. But there aren't any houses for sale, so I need a place to stay," Sonia explained.

"Who do you live with now, Sonia?" Hope asked.

"No one. My manager is technically my guardian, but he let's me live in an apartment on my own. He lives with his own family."

"That's horrible! You're living by yourself?!"

"Yeah."

"In that case, we would be happy to have you!"

"Really?! Oh thank you Ms. Stelar!!" Sonia exclaimed.

"Call me Hope." she replied.

Luna couldn't believe her ears. She bought it? Sonia was going to live with Geo?! Luna tried to shake the image out of her head.

"I can't believe it." she whispered to herself. "This can't be happening." Luna quickly ran back to her house. She had to figure out a way to expose Sonia. This wasn't about school, and she wanted to prove it. It was her duty as class president.

After a short talk about when she would move in, Sonia left the Stelar house.

"I can't thank you enough for letting me stay with you, Hope," Sonia said.

"It'll be our pleasure. Right, Geo?"

"Right," Geo replied. He knew Mega had a point earlier, but he forced himself to ignore it. He actually liked the idea of Sonia moving in.

"Well, I guess I'll see you Saturday! And thanks again!" Sonia yelled as she walked down the street, almost with a skip in her step.

Later that night, Geo was laying on his bed, thinking about how his life would change when Sonia moved in. He didn't have any siblings, and was curious how living with someone his own age would work. The Stelar house had a guest room, but the two would have to share a bathroom.

"Geo!" Mega's voiced piped up throught the darkness, bringing back Geo from his thought.

"What is it Mega?"

"I don't know. I'm picking up a strange signal."

"A virus?"

"No. But somehow it feels...familiar."

Geo wondered what it could be. It couldn't be an FM-ian, could it? The FM King, Cepheus, had commanded a truce between the FM Planet and Earth. Maybe is was a leftover Wave Being from lost continent of Mu? Geo had to know.

"Let's go, Mega! EM Wave Change! Geo Stelar, On the Air!"

With a brilliant flash of light, Geo turned into Mega Man and jumped out his bedroom window.

"It's this way, kid." Mega Man followed the AM-ian's direction on the wave road, until they ended up at a warehouse near the outskirts of Wilshire Hills.

"It's just an old warehouse" Mega Man said.

"The signal is definitely coming from in here. Let's check it out," Mega replied.

The fused pair slowly crept into the warehouse. It didn't seem to be anything special. There were plenty of both crates and cobwebs. The paint on the walls had begun to chip, and there were holes in all but one of the glass windows.

"It doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while," Mega Man commented.

"That's just what they want us to think, kid. Keep your guard up," Mega whispered.

Mega Man slowly walked around all the crates, waiting for a comment from Mega. He soon spotted one that somehow seemed newer than the others, and went to check it out.

"That's it. The signal is strong here. Be careful," Mega said.

As Mega Man slowly opened the crate, he suddenly felt odd. He stumbled backwards, almost knocking over a pile of boxes.

"Wha...what is that?" Mega Man asked.

There was glass box inside of the crate, and it seemed to be giving off some kind of EM wave energy. But what was inside the box that was far more interesting. An FM-ian, lying in suspended animation.

"I can't believe it...Gemini?!"

I know, I'm evil for ending on a cliffhanger. And I know I said Ch. 2 would have some action, but the Stelar house scene took a bit longer than I thought. I PROMISE I'll put some action in Ch. 3. I've already started working on it. And don't worry too much about Gemini, your questions about how he still exists will be answered soon enough.
