-Chapter 1: New Beginnings and New Friends-
Summer was finally over for everyone. People were moving back into their home at Kadic Academy. Over the semester beforehand, construction was taking place. Kadic academy is now home to all years of schooling- minus university.
"Guys! Don't fear, Odd the Magnificent is back and odder than ever!" Proclaimed the purple-clad boy.
His friends walked up to him.
"Who's your friend?" Aelita asked, holding hands with Jeremy. A blush was on the boy genius's face and would remain there as long as Aelita's hand was in his.
"Meet Alana! I met her on a trip to Glasgow, Scotland and told her about Kadic. She signed up immediately."
Alana had thick, curly red-brown hair with green eyes. She was very fair skinned with many freckles. She wore a white blouse with a plaid red and black skirt. She was slightly thick and short.
Alana waved shyly. "Nice at meet ya." she spoke with a thick Scottish accent. "Odd has told me all aboot ya. Did he really save ya all from a fire?"
Everyone gave Odd a pointed look.
"Welcome to Kadic," began Ulrich. "Rule 1: Never believe anything Odd says. Rule 2: If you believe what Odd says, we will show you to the infirmary. Rule 3: Never believe anything Odd says."
The group laughed at Odd's expense. Odd feigned horror at Ulrich's words.
"Dear boy, I only speak the truth. Except for a few times..." Odd laughed and smiled a face-splitting grin. He then began to introduce them.
"Alana, the blonde nerd is Jeremy, currently dating Princess Aelita." The two blushed a bright red. "Then we have Ulrich, just ignore him. And his girlfriend, Yumi. Yumi is dangerous. She practices weird martial arts and her family eats only with chop-sticks!"
"That's not weird, that's Japanese culture, peabrain!" Yumi laughed. Ulrich was still growling at Odd.
Ulrich changed conversation. "So Yumi here is actually getting a dorm! She'll be staying on-campus."
Yumi smiled. "Yeah, my brother decided to go to a school in Japan and my parents decided to let me stay here while they're with him!"
"I wonder who you'll be staying with." Jeremy pondered.
"Maybe she'll be staying with me!" Aelita smiled.
"All freshman report to the auditorium immediately for de-briefing!" shouted a voice Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, Jeremy and Aelita recognized as Jim.
The friends walked to the auditorium and took their seats.
Jim walked onstage and grabbed a microphone. He began to talk then a loud, high pitched squeak emanated from the speakers.
He cleared his throat and tried again. "Welcome to Kadic. You all are our first group of freshmen since construction. Those of you that were here last year understand all of the rules. Nothing has changed except that you all have a curfew of 10. This year, you will wear your I.D. badges at all times, those badges will get you in and out of the school.
"Our dorm rooms are different this year. To accommodate more students in preparation for the next few years, all freshmen will bunk in dorm rooms of three. Choose within the next few hours, a sign-up list is in the office. At the end of the day, you will move into your dorm. Every other grade was given the usual assignment in the summer but things were messed up until this point.
"Classes will start next month. In the meantime, freshmen will help around campus and prepare for classes and you all will be given your schedules by the 5 PM Friday. Until then, I hope you freshmen enjoy time off. Don't break any rules! I'll have you know that I used to be a prison guard in an American prison called Alcatraz." Jim bragged.
A girl obviously not used to Jim asked, "You were?" with a tone of excitement.
"I don't want to talk about it..." He answered and moved off the stage awkwardly.
"Alana, how about me, you and Aelita room together?" Yumi asked. Alana nodded gratefully.
Odd looked ecstatic. "Me, Jeremy and Ulrich can room together too! The Lyoko gang plus one will be reunited!" As soon as he said it, everyone looked as if they were sentenced to jail.
"Lyoko? I'm guessing that Lyoko is some video game or show, right? Scotland doesn't get French basic cable. Back in Glasgow, I had a group of friends and we would role play all sorts of TV shows and stuff. Secrets safe with me, I won't ask." Alana gave them a wink, thinking she knew exactly what they were talking about.
Everyone looked relieved and slightly confused.
Jeremy replied. "Yeah, all of us were into this video game but sometime last year, we decided we were through with it."
"Time to grow up, ya know?" Ulrich added and Aelita had a sad look on her face. Alana chose to only nod her head.
"We should hurry to go get our room assignments." Alana commented. Then, sensing that the old friends needed a moment to talk decided to add, "Actually, just give me your last names and I can do it for you. Odd, could ya get my stuff from where we dumped it?"
"Sure thing!" Odd replied and wrote out all of their names on a slip of paper before the ginger walked off.
"What were you thinking?" Ulrich said as he hit Odd over the head.
"I didn't think about it. Besides, she believed us about the video game!" Odd defended.
"I suppose we can all forgive Odd. No harm done, right?" Aelita said sweetly.
"No harm done!" Odd said happily.
"So Odd, tell us about your girlfriend," Yumi commented.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Odd immediately said defensively. "I don't like her! I mean, I like her but... Just shut up, all of you." Odd ended in a humph.
The friends retrieved their baggage and Alana's and waited in the new outdoor lounge area. It was a large courtyard with plenty of benches and potted flowers.
"I got our rooms!" Alana said happily. She handed an envelope to Jeremy and an envelope to Aelita. In each envelope were three keys with each of their names on it.
They quickly pocketed the keys safely.
"So what do we do for the next few hours?" Alana asked.
"I think we should get something to eat." Odd muttered as he rubbed his growling stomach.
"There's a mall off-campus if anyone is up for the walk." Jeremy reminded them.
Alana looked down at her bags. The group followed her train of thought and they all left to the dorms. Eventually the group headed through the forest. They came to the man-hole cover and lifted it. Alana looked questioningly at it but followed them through regardless.
Their boards and scooters were no longer there. Aelita looked to the walls in sadness and Alana felt extremely out of place. The group was at a standstill for a moment before Jeremy started walking. No one seemed willing to go faster than the lethargic pace the 'leader' had set. They seemed unwilling to go faster but at the same time unaccustomed to the slow pace. Once more, Alana kept quiet. It would have seemed that they forgot she was there except for Odd's hand taking hers.
In 10 or so minutes, they crawled up the ladder leading to a different man-hole cover and reached the surface. Finally, the gang reached the mall, ate, talked, laughed and had a great time. Nothing unusual happened and Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, Yumi and Odd almost forgot about Lyoko completely.
This became the normal schedule for these friends. Mall, talking, hanging out in the forest. A week before classes however, Aelita made a decision.
"I kinda want to visit the Hermitage." Aelita said quietly. The group minus Alana looked somber for a moment and Alana chose not to ask.
"Of course, princess." Yumi said softly.
They headed towards the forest, Alana attempting to mask the look of curiosity on her face.
After a while, they came upon an old abandoned house. The original five entered and Alana stayed quietly at the fence.
"Coming?" Inquired Aelita.
Alana nodded and smiled. She followed them in.
They gathered in Aelita's old bedroom for a moment before Aelita said, "I think we should tell her."
Each nodded in turn and Alana was only able to contain her curiosity by some miracle.
"Alana, can you keep a secret?" Odd asked carefully as if testing each word out for the first time. The others looked on cautiously.
Alana took a moment to consider everything. Se didn't want to say yes only to crack under pressure. She remembered her time in Glasgow and the secret she still kept. Remembering all that happened, she nodded ferociously.
"We're going to tell you about Lyoko." Jeremy began.
