The gentle ricocheting thump-pa thump-pa of the techno midriff blasted through the small speakers besides the obsidian colored laptop.
"Odd, what the heck is this?" An umber haired teen asked a strained look on his face as he glanced over his shoulder to the beaming blonde in back of him. He had been sitting bored and content atop his friend Jeremy's desk, his wind breaker clad legs swinging wildly to the throbbing beat of the music.
"You guys remember my old break dance C.D right? Well I made a new one!" The smiling blonde purred as he ran a cream colored hand through the single purple streak that ran through his blond up turned spikes. Odd awaited his friend's response with silent anticipation as he took a long gulp of soda from his plastic cup.
"Oh, yeah…Jeremy needed the virtualization program but instead you gave him that trash." Ulrich said giving a half hearted laugh from over the plate of chips he was holding in his hands, getting roar of laughter from his friends.
"Hey, that song could have made me rich and famous one day!" Odd interjected with a large smile before dropping a spork full of cake into his lap with a grunt and a groan that seemed to almost amuse his friends.
"Careful Odd" His comrades teased as they watched as Odd pushed the bit of cake onto the floor in a failed attempt at trying to spoon the cake from his lap. Though lucky enough for Odd and Jeremy, Kiwi had found his way towards the small bit of cake. Licking his maw satisfied and contend before padding off much to the groups delight.
"Looks like Kiwi beat you to that one Odd." The pink haired Aelita joked politely. Laughter once again filled the small room along with various memories and as the group of friends discussed old battles and past victories over the psychotic computer virus, Xana. But no matter how they said it, how it was put, the truth remained clear as clear as the soda they were drinking. Xana was gone, they won! After all of the combating, the battle was finally over.
Time passed quickly and without so much as an alert from the super computer that a tower in Lyoko had been activated, he was really gone. By five most of the cake and chips were gone, eaten away by Odd and Kiwi and the music had been shut down and the C.D was ejected from Jeremy's laptop.
"Hello…oh yeah…no dad…we're with Jeremy, Ulrich, and Odd. No, we'll be home soon…okay…yeah bye." Yumi groaned into the mobile phone that she was now stowing into her pocket with a heavy groan and a sigh.
"Yumi, you okay?" Ulrich asked almost simultaneously with the sigh that left her lips, but Yumi smiled shaking her head in a firm motion.
"It's nothing me and Aelita just need to go." Yumi said with a pseudo smile her cheeks reddening slightly as she glanced at Ulrich, hidden words and silent phrases passing slowly between the two.
"Yumi are you ready to go?" Aelita asked softly, she had just finished hugging Jeremy and was sweeping pink strands of hair from her eyes as she awaited Yumi's answer. The group said their farewells and Jeremy made sure to remind the girls of their plans to shut down the super computer and legitimize their victory over the virus known as Xana.
Jeremy sat silent as he slurped another cup of soda before checking his watch with a sigh, Jim would be doing his rounds soon and everyone had gone leaving him alone he noted with a grimace as he checked his laptop one more time. He still couldn't believe Xana was gone for good and he kept expecting a tower to activate at any moment, but one never did. He was just being paranoid, Jeremy convinced himself as he set his glasses onto the desk besides his laptop. Xana was gone; he would just have to find a way to accept it.
