What has happened in the past four years?
The world has been changed by saints and sinners.
By those who thought nothing would become good of them. By those who have yet to be credited. By those who have protected us time after time again.
What has kept us safe and happy these past few years?
Ones with secrets and ones that can't even remember. Teachers and students alike. Students mostly, of course.
So, what have we done?
We have found love, found happiness and have found friends. To me, friends is the most important of all, because they are the ones who you can truly trust. The ones who will never leave you, no matter how bad things get.
I have found friends, four awesome friends who I wouldnt change for anyone else. We have said and done things that no-one else should ever know about. I guess that goes for everyone else as well though.
And now, I will speak to you upon the behalf of everyone here at Kadic. Thank you, for everything. You have taught us so much, despite the fact that I, personally, didn't learn. But that's me. Thanks for the fun sports and explosive science experiments. And thank god we never have to learn how to graph y = ax + b again. And thanks for never asking about why we always need to go to the infirmary.
To the students, thanks for all you have done for myself, everyone else and this school. We all are going to miss this place, I know. But it will forever hold our secrets, waiting for someone to fall upon them one day, and be shocked by what we have done. I mean seriously, the teachers didn't know until today that I have had a dog in my dorm this whole time.
So thanks Kadic, for hosting us these last four years. For us is what happened these past four years, and no-one else could be better than us.
Odd looked up from the piece of paper he was just reading from and gazed expectantly at Aelita, Jeremie, Ulrich and Yumi, waiting for a response. He had just noticed that they all, including Ulrich, had tears in their eyes.
"It was beautiful." Smiled Aelita.
"You should definitely read that out as the graduation speech." Yumi said.
"Second that." Jeremie added.
Lastly, Ulrich spoke, "Thanks for that, it truly was beautiful."
Odd smiled at them all, before folding the piece of paper in half, only to rip it into pieces. Everyone gasped. "Thanks." Odd simply said.
"What are you doing!?" Yumi yelled.
"Eh, it wasn't that good anyway. Had a ton of spelling mistakes probably, and I didn't like it." Odd replied, as calm as ever.
"What wrong with it?" Ulrich inquired, also annoyed that Odd had just ripped up the speech.
"It reminded me too much of the times we had on Lyoko. Too much of our past. I need to let go of the past, and move on."
"That doesn't mean that you had to rip it up, you know!" Aelita yelled, making Odd raise an eyebrow.
"Yes, it does. Lyoko meant the world to me, and writing about it made me feel like our time fighting XANA hadn't yet ended, even though I knew it had. I just really need to forget about Lyoko. I need to forget, before I become obsessed. Besides, that was written just for you guys, and now you have heard it, it feels right to rip it up."
Odd sighed, before pocketing the remains of the speech and standing up. He looked at the group and smiled, before walking ou of the dorm.
"Besides," Odd thought to himself "This was only a photocopy..."
A/N Happy 10th year anniversary, Code Lyoko. Heres to another 10.
