The sound of the blazing alarm cried out loudly as Odd tossed and turned in his bed Ulrich picking up the alarm and putting it closer to his ear. Ulrich had already been up for almost a half hour, already dressed and he was trying to get Odd up before they were late.

"Come on Odd," Ulrich sighed "You gotta get up, we have to get to class,"

"I don't wanna," He grunted rolling back facing the wall.

"Alright fine be that way," Ulrich sighed throwing the clock onto his bed and heading to the door when an idea struck him. "Guess you won't see all those nice girls from the transfer program arrive today, or get and waffles and rolls for breakfast,"

Odd's head shot up out of his blanket and looked at Ulrich widely and clearly awake now. Ulrich grinned and walked out shutting the door behind him, pausing for a moment to hear Odd's closet opeing and Kiwi barking wildly as Odd screamed after him.

"Wait up for me!" He kicked open his door and chased after Ulrich who already raced away after hearing him break down the door.

"You'll do anything for a date or some food huh Odd?" He laughed running out of the dorms front door.

The two raced through the court yard and walked into the cafeteria. Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy already sitting at a table. Ulrich took a seat next to yumi panting heavily as he smiled awkwardly while the three eyed him and Odd's entrance.

"Care to explain Ulrich?" Yumi said smirking and looking at him.

"What can I say," He smiled wider putting his hands behind his head casually. "I had to get Odd up so I used my ace in the hole,"

"If I remember correctly an ace in the hole should be saved for last," Jeremy smiled taking a sip of his juice.

"Hey technically once Odd doesn't respond to having the alarm clock literally on his head, I had to use it," he said.

The group laughed as Odd came up taking a seat next to Aelita with a crescent roll in his mouth and his tray full of rolls, waffles, toast, eggs, and a tall glass of orange juice. Aelita and yumi eyed his plate then back to him almost still not used to his unusual appetites.

"What'd I miss?" Odd asked taking a bite out of his roll and mixing his food together on his plate.

"Well for one," Yumi started pointing to her lips. "You missed some there, Odd,"

Odd crossed his eyes trying to find the spot Yumi was talking about then licked around his lips clean then withdrew back to eating. "So, when are these new students coming?"

"Not sure," Aelita said stirring her coffee. "I'm kind of excited to see who we'll meet from across the world,"

"It's pretty interesting," Yumi agreed. "I heard they settled on American students,"

"American?" Ulrich repeated. "So they're going to be like Odd and have enormous appetites,"

"If they do the schools going to be out of food by the end of the day," Jeremy said finishing his breakfast.

The gnag made their way from the lunch room on to the court yard walking together and talking happily almost forgetting that they've saved the world countless times. They stopped at a bench near the Science building where Jeremy pulled out his Laptop.

"How goes the program Jeremy?" Aelita asked taking a seat next to him.

"Pretty good," He smiled. "With any luck I should have it completed by next month,"

"And that means William will be able to come back," Yumi said smiling.

"I have to ask," Ulrich started. "Do you think we'll ever be able to let him back on Lyoko after what happened on his first trip?"

"I don't know," Yumi said looking to the ground and holding her shoulder.

"Xana attacked William because he was the newest member," Jeremy said adjusting his glasses. "Logistically whenever a new enemy would be introduced there's always a chance they have an initial weakness,"

"How can you talk like that Einstein?" Odd said eyeing him.

"I'm just trying to say how it might have appeared in Xana's point of view," He said trying to defend himself.

"Back to the matter at hand," Ulrich said interrupting. "I don't think we should enlist anyone else into the gang not after what Xana's done to William,"

"Agreed," Jeremy nodded. "It's too big of a risk,"

"Hey you hooligans listen up!" Jim called jogging up to the gang sitting around the bench. "You trouble makers are supposed to be helping us welcome the new kid,"

"The new kid?" Aelita repeated.

"But Jim aren't we supposed to be welcoming an entire class?" Yumi asked standing up.

"Theres been some changes that'll be revealed later," Jim said as he jogged in place. "Much like the time I spent a summer being an Military Police officer,"

The gang looked at each other then back to the jogging coach still huffing at himself in place.

"What happened to being an MP Jim?" Ulrich asked.

"I'd…uh…Rather not talk about it," He said turning around. "Just get your butts to the school gate,"

The gang ran after Jim as he jogged off joining the awaiting class. The students were talking and whispering in anticipation for the arrival. Sissy seeing Ulrich and the gang approach smiled evilly and stepped up to him.

"Oh Ulrich lets welcome the new student with open arms," She said loudly so everyone could hear. "You and I could be like the mother and father of this new student,"

"I think I'll start filing for divorce then Sissy," Ulrich smirked.

The gang chuckled as she grunted and growled annoyed at their laughter turning around to go back to her minions Nicholas and Herb. A tan colored buss finally pulled up to the gate and students gathered while two other students held up a banner of Kadic Academy.

"Welcome to Kadic!" They cheered as the doors open and a person stepped forward.

The boy had messy Black hair with dark blue eyes, He wore a sky blue tank top with a tribal design on the front with a sage green over shirt with the front open to show the shirts design. He had a bag slung over his right shoulder and his worn jeans shown holes at his knees as he stepped off the bus.

"Um…hi," He said waving slowly.
