(Okay, I have a few notes. #1 This is after Season 4 of Code Lyoko. #2 Later on, there will be teeny bit of Ben 1o involved. Not him, just a few of the aliens. #3 ANYA IS MINE!!!!! I made her up and did not steal her from anywhere. If you want to use her, ask me first. #4 I stink at being Odd. I really do, and I know that. I make him sound like BeastBoy from Teen Titans. Don't complain about it, cause I already know. Go flame someone else. Meh. NOW ON WITH THE STORY!!!!)
I can do this. I'm new, they don't know me, but I can do this. If everything goes according to plan, they'll never know. I just have to do it right…
"Class!" Mrs. Hurtz called out, bringing the noisy ensemble to a halt. Jeremy and Aelita looked up from where they had been comparing papers, and Sissi put away her compact. Odd, however, was not quick enough to stop his joke that he was telling Ulrich.
"…And so he said, that's not a dog, that's my wife!" Odd burst out laughing at his own joke, while Ulrich had the decency to look away.
"Odd Della Robbia!" yelled Mrs. Hurtz, slapping her hand down on his desk. "I'm trying to teach a class here!"
Odd looked up at her, a lazy grin crossing his face. "Well, please continue, Mrs. Hurtz. What's stopping you?" A muffled giggle sounded from outside the classroom. "Who's there?" asked Odd, jumping to his feet. "What genius out there has good taste?"
Hesitantly, slowly, a girl stepped into the classroom. She had long, straight blonde hair that stretched down to her waist, and was wearing a straight, plain white dress that went down to her ankles. She was wearing a pair of golden slippers, and her sky blue eyes were filled with fright.
"This, class, is Anya River," announced Mrs. Hurtz. "She's a foreign exchange student from Japan. I hope you all make her feel welcome." She turned to Anya. "You can go sit in that empty seat next to Odd. He's the one who's joke you were laughing at."As Mrs. Hurtz pointed the way to her seat, Anya's pale face turned bright red, and she quietly walked over to the empty chair and delicately sat down.
"It's nice to meet you, Anya," he whispered, leaning toward her. "I'm Odd Della Robbia." He winked at her. Anya just stared back, blinking slowly.
Odd repeated himself, talking just a little louder this time. Unfortunately, Mrs. Hurtz heard him.
"Odd Della Robbia, what on earth are you doing now?" she asked, a furious look spreading across her face.
"Well," Odd answered, leaning back in his chair and pointing at Anya, "I'm trying to talk to Miss New Girl here, but she won't answer. She's just staring at me, and it's annoying!"
Mrs. Hurtz laughed. "She's a FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT. She doesn't know French. She only speaks Japanese." With that, she turned back to her lesson.
"Japanese…" murmured Odd to himself. "Hey," he whispered, turning to Ulrich, "Do you think your girlfriend could help us out here?"
Ulrich blushed. "She's not my girlfriend!"
"Whatever." Odd shrugged. "Do you think she could help us out?"
"Probably. We'll have to wait until lunch, though."
"Mr. Stern and Della Robbia! Do you have something more important to discuss than this lesson? If so, please tell the class." Wincing, Odd and Ulrich turned back toward Mrs. Hurtz.
Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita sat down to lunch. Jeremy was late, as usual, and Yumi just got out of class, so she was getting her food. As she sat down between Ulrich and Odd, Odd leaned over to her.
"Yumi, could you help me out a bit?" he asked, looking at her with pleading eyes.
Yumi, however, rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"
"There's a REALLY cute new foreign exchange student, but she only speaks Japanese. Could you help me out a bit?"
"Of course!" responded Yumi, her eyes lighting up. "I want to talk to her! Where is she?"
"Yes!" Odd jumped up and grabbed Anya, who was sitting at a table with a bunch of boy admirers, who were staring at her big-eyed. "Here she is!"
Yumi got up and turned to Anya. "今日は 我が 名前 is Yumi. What is 御主人?" she asked, while the others looked on dumbstruck.
Anya's eyes lit up, and she smiled very big. "我が 名前 is Anya! 麿 宜しい 了知 マイクロエレクトロニクス?"
"What's going on?" Jeremy had finally arrived. "Yumi, what are you babbling about?
"I'm not babbling," answered Yumi, crossing her arms and looking hurt. "I'm speaking in Japanese to Anya."
Jeremy noticed her standing by. "Welcome to Kadic, Anya!"
Yumi translated. "ヒューマンエンジニアリング 前記 優待 付き Kadic."
"メルシー. 麿 振幅変調 面・在る これで." Anya responded, bowing deeply to Jeremy. Jeremy look baffled, and Aelita, Yumi and Ulrich hid their smiles. Odd, however, burst out laughing. He doubled over, hooting and pointing a finger at Anya.
Anya, not knowing anything was wrong, got a bad impression and burst into tears, fleeing the cafeteria. The others turned to Odd.
"Why'd you do that? Now she thinks we made fun of her." Aelita turned on angrily. She had rather liked Anya.
"I was just laughing. I can't believe she bowed to JEREMY!" answered Odd, almost laughing again.
"She doesn't understand anything about the culture here! It's what you do to show thanks in Japan! She was being polite!" Yumi turned on him, too. Odd looked to Ulrich and Jeremy for help, but they just turned away. They also thought he had gone too far.
"Odd, you're going to have to apologize!" they yelled, ticked off.
Anya ran to her new room. 麿了見ヒューマンエンジニアリング如くマイクロエレクトロニクス. 麿了見朕クーロン身内. マイクロエレクトロニクス? (Translation: I thought he liked me. I thought we could be friends. Why?) she thought to herself. She buried her head in her pillow.
This did not go according to plan. I did not forsee this element. What is that emotion? I have not encountered it before. And what are the wet things leaking from the eyes? They taste like salt…
