Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko or the original characters.
Notes: I realize that Kadic probably has a 4th grade class… for my purposes, it doesn't, deal with it. I also realize that yet again, all the characters meet at Kadic while Aelita meets Jeremie first, again, my fan-fiction, deal with it. Technically, this fan-fiction places Aelita's time on Lyoko while the supercomputer is shut down at between 2 and 3 years while it is really something like 10. Deal with it. My fan-fiction, you don't like? Don't read. This takes place 6 years after Her Name Is Aelita they are now in 4th grade.
Warning: Little hints of O/A, not much though, as they are 10 years old. Also spoilers for seasons 2-4.
"Aelita!" He yells, running towards her, "Aelita!"
The pink haired girl turns around, seeing Odd running up behind her. "Hi Odd!"
"Hey! I have to talk to you." He pants, "Just let me catch my breath a little."
"Sure thing Odd." She replies, "What about?"
"I… I…" Odd stutters, unwilling to put into words the thoughts he has swirling around his mind.
Aelita sees his worried look, "What is it?" She asks, feeling her heart beat slightly faster with fear. She knows that rumors of his family moving have been flying around.
"I…" He looks sadly at his feet, "My family is moving." He mumbles sadly, not knowing how hard his best friend would take this.
Aelita gasps, "Where?" She asks sadly, her voice quavering. He knows there are tears in her eyes, and he knows that in just moments they will fall onto his shoulder.
"Holland." Odd replies, looking at her with tears in his eyes. Her tears fall one by one, slowly escaping her eyes.
"When?" She asks.
"Two days." He replies sadly, "Decided this morning."
She flings her arms around him, her tears soaking his shirt. He knew this would happen what he didn't know was that he would let his tears fall, soaking her shirt as well.
"Oh Odd." She gasps tearfully, "Why?"
He shakes his head, unable to utter a sound through his tears, but she understands, she always has.
"I have to go pack." He says sadly.
"I'll see you tomorrow then." She replies. He hates to see her this way; her beautiful green eyes glittering with sadness.
"I'll give you my new address then." He answers before trudging sadly home.
"Daddy, Odd's leaving in 2 days." Aelita announces sadly when her father asks her how her day went.
"Where to?" Franz asks.
"Holland!" Aelita cries, suddenly she remembers the day they met.
FLASHBACK!
A small boy dressed in two-tone purple pants and a purple shirt with a picture of a small brown dog on the front walks towards the box of blocks. Lifting out a pile he proceeds to stack them.
"What's that doing there?" He mutters to himself.
I had to tell him, "There are a bunch of animals in there."
"Really?" he asks sounding shocked, "Why?"
END FLASHBACK
"A PANDA!" Aelita cries, "That's what it was! It was a Panda!"
"What was a panda sweetheart?" Franz asks, thoroughly confused by his daughters outburst.
"The toy that Odd found first! It was a panda!" She says excitedly, "I'll be back later!" With that the pink haired girl ran out the door, her eyes glimmering with excitement. She ran to the marketplace where she found a stand that sold all kinds of pens and paper. Aelita has been eyeing the panda pen and paper set for weeks now, waiting for the right moment to buy it for Odd. Now is that moment.
"Can I help you?" The owner of the stand asks, peering over his display at Aelita.
"Yes, I would like the panda pen and paper set please." She says politely.
"Thank you, come again." The stand owner says cheerfully as Aelita runs off after giving the man his money.
"What's that?" Franz asks as his daughter bursts through the door.
"It's for Odd!" She says happily, "I'm gonna give it to him tomorrow, since we don't have school."
"Ok then," Franz says smiling at his daughter, "But now it's time for bed."
"Ok, Goodnight Daddy!" Aelita says, giving her father a hug.
She fell into an uneasy sleep after a few minutes, thinking about Odd made it hard to sleep tonight.
Odd listlessly looked about his room. The purple walls had once been covered in posters and drawings and pictures he and Aelita had made together. Now they stood bare and lonely. Odd stared at the last few items he had to pack. A couple of pictures, of him and Aelita, Luffa's old red collar, a small jar of Luffa's ashes in a black velvet bag, a set of clothes for the next day. It was late, but he had already packed his pajamas. Odd went over to the air mattress lying in the space his bed had once occupied. He curled up and fell asleep.
