Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko, but I do own Lynks

Notes: If you haven't read 'Holidays' I suggest you do. It's a Code Lyoko story. This story that you are about to read is its sequel. Enjoy!

"So, what's the plan for today?" asked Odd, casually strolling up to the soda machine. The rest of his friends were there. Yumi was leaning against the dispenser's side, Ulrich leaning on the wall, hands in his pockets, Jeremy and Aelita standing next to each other, smiling.

Odd stopped and mumbled numbers under his breath, pointing to each person. "Hey, where's Lynks?"

"Right here," came a response. Another friend came up behind him and gave the purple sleeved youth a pat on the back.

"You getting along okay Lynks?" asked Jeremy, a concern look on his face. His friend stood there, staring at the ground.

"I'm fine, it doesn't matter. I don't think we were meant to be," he replied, still staring at the ground.

"Hello Lynks," Sissy greeted. She and her cronies came up to the group. The principal's daughter gave each of them a glance and then set her eyes upon Lynks. "I heard about what happened. Do you need a friend? Maybe, a friend such as myself?"

Ulrich chuckled at this. Sissy ignored him. Jeremy gestured at the group to follow him. They all left except Lynks. "Thanks for offering, but no thanks," he said with a smile. "I'm being nice to you now but don't expect it later."

With a simple turn of his shoes, the black-haired boy began sprinting to catch up with the rest of the group. "You've really softened up to Sissy Lynks," commented Yumi. "Be careful not to get too nice."

"Yah, or she might take your brain and use it to fill that empty space between her ears," Odd teased. They laughed at this, though it would be funnier if Sissy was around to hear it. The group stopped at the bench. Aelita and Jeremy sat down.

"Oh yeah I just remembered," said Jeremy, snapping his fingers. "I've found a way to update all of your outfits and weapons.

Lynks raised and eyebrow when he heard this. "You mean we get to choose what we look like on Lyoko?"

"Exactly," responded Jeremy.

"Wow Einstein. How did you figure that out?" Odd asked.

The blond youth gave a small grin. "With some help from Franz Hopper of course. You see, I was looking through his book and found a section about appearances and weaponry. It seems that I can control how everyone looks just by typing in a few passwords and modifying some codes. Very simple really."

"Let's go to the factory after school," Aelita said.

"I just hope Mrs. Hertz doesn't give out much homework today," complained Odd. "I barely got any sleep last night because of her."

"That's because you were listening to music half the time," noted Ulrich. "I got the same amount of sleep as you because you kept singing to yourself. You're really tone deaf, huh Odd?

"Hey!" Everyone laughed, except Odd of course. The sound of the bell called the students to class. They said their goodbyes to Yumi as she headed off in the other direction.

Meanwhile, back at the factory, down in the scanner room, smoke appeared as one of the scanners opened. Nothing stepped out. Another scanner expelled smoke and still nothing hapened. The other three opened as well. Nothing. They closed themselves and did not reopen.

Weird ending huh?
