Jeremy sat at his desk, typing away at his keyboard. He was studying for the big science test on nano bots, but he was having troubles understanding how they are created. As he was looking up on the World Wide Web about this, his friend and comrade came strolling through his doors, didn't even knock. Never knocks.
"Hey Jeremy! How's it going?"
Odd threw an arm around Jeremy's shoulder and took a look at Jeremy's computer screen, sporting a Wikipedia page about how nano bots were made from apple trees.
"It was going fine, in till I couldn't understand Mrs. Hertz lecture. I just don't get it."
Jeremy pleaded his problem to Odd, who had taken a seat next to him.
"Well, if you're having troubles with this, you should ask the teacher for some extra help."
Odd gave an answer to almost any problem a student could be having.
"Yea, right, like that will work. And even if it does, why don't you ever go to any teacher for some extra help?"
Jeremy countered, hammering on the keys so hard, Odd was afraid he'd punch a hole through the board.
"Oh, please, I'm way too modest for that. Anyways, that's not why I'm here. I wanted to propose something for you."
Odd asked him, waiting for his eyes to leave the screen. They didn't, just a grunt as if saying continue.
"I want to restart the super computer, just for one night, four hours max."
Jeremy looked at his friend, surprised he would even consider turning on that machine again.
"What, why? We have no reason."
Jeremy argued, looking back at his regular, slow non-supercomputer.
"We have one reason. All four of us, Ulrich, Yumi, Aileta and I all don't have a costume for tomorrow nights costume party. All we want to do is virtualize ourselves on lyoko, activate a tower, and you teleport us close to our supercomputer. We go and have a nice night at the party, and you can use the super computer as much as you like. I know you've been missing that kind of technology in your hands for a while. It will help you stress less."
Odd proposed, hoping the boy genius says yes.
"Well, it's an interesting idea, and I could really use the super computer, but what if there are still some traces of X.A.N.A left, maybe a mega tank or two? It's too dangerous."
Jeremy concluded. Completely ending all hope in Odd's plan.
"But,"
Odd started, but then Jeremy got mad, which was so unlike him.
"I said no, and I mean it. No costumes, no teleportation, and no Lyoko. Give up Odd; it's not going to happen."
With a defeated look, Odd walked out of the room miserably. As he closed the door behind him, Jeremy got that smile on his face, the same one he always had when a plan was coming together.
Odd walked towards his three other friends. One was a tall male, favoring the shades of green, as his outer jacket was a light alvacado colored, as well as
having a dark green muscle shirt underneath it. His brown eyes and hair didn't stand out too much, but they sure weren't lost in the multi coulerd green on his torso.
The girl to his left was a bright pinked hared girl, always bubble-like, floating up and above the world, and always popping with joy at each new discovery she made. Her purple
dress was in bunches on the ground, as she had accidently bumped into his third friend, knocking her books to the ground. A big girl, tall and skinny, but you
wouldn't ever what her to mess with you. Her grey hoodie was a much better colour then her fully black attire. It really suited her to not be a Goth. Odd just thought
they were creepy.
"Hey, Odd. What's up? You look as if Rosa had just run out of meatballs for lunch, and will have to be serving bustle sprouts."
Aileta, the pink hared girl said as she handed the last of the dropped books to Yumi.
"If anything, he doesn't have a costume for tomorrow night."
Ulrich, the guy in green said.
"That's fine. We were all gonna go have a small party at Yumi's tonight to figure out how we are going to spend tomorrow night. Since Jeremy has to stay and practice for the science test, it was just going to be the three of us spending the night at my place."
Yumi said.
"Well, I guess I can't go wrong with yelling Chinese in a Japanese house."
Odd said with a snicker.
"Come on Odd, cant you at least try to act mature here. Since were all here now, it's time we took a vote."
Aileta said.
"I'm wondering if we should include William in our planes tonight."
Ulrich gave Aileta a funny side glance, but just kept looking forward.
"I think we have been a little hard. He was just at war with him as we were. And it was our fault, even in partial, that he was captured."
Aielta told us, trying to get us see reason.
"Yea, Aileta's right. We have been hard, but just because he is stuborn, he was once all our friends, some more then others. i say we invite him, and see if we can get any where with him."
Everyone was looking at Ulrich, dumbfounded.
"but Ulrich, I thought you hated William."
Odd said, confused.
"of corse I do, but ive been thinking recently about things, and I relized he deserves another shot, with us all."
Ulrich had the blankest stare he never knew existed.
"well, that's one towards William. Yumi, would you like to agree or disagree?"
Aielta said, still a little shocked about Ulrichs response.
"well, I haven't got a reason why he shouldn't. it would be nice to have a full house, instead of just four friends who know practictaly everything about eachother"
Yumi said, not really paying attention to what she was saying.
"wait, are you getting board with us Yumi?"
Odd had asked.
"what, no. that wasent what I ment, we know so much about eachother, its like we have all lived in the others shoes. Im sorry, I didn't mean it like the way I had
first say it."
Yumi explaind, not wanting a fight to break in the group.
"its alright Yumi, I feel that way a bit to. We need to do something big, give us a chance for something to talk about. That's what I had wanted for tonight."
Aielta stammerd, hoping she had chosen the right words.
"well, I have to say im also okay with meeting with William tonight. It wouldent be all to bad to shine some light on a few scratchy details from his other school life. Ive always wonderd what had broke inside that kids head when he posted all those love letters around the school."
Odd said, a mischeveous look in his eyes.
"well, its settled, we all go to Yumis with wiliam tonight."
Aileta said, not mentioning her own vote. They were all about to turn and leave for lunch when a tuckerd out Jeremy walked up to them.
"My god, its alive and it can move. I just hope he dosent freak out at the sight of fire."
Ulrich joked, usely saving his Frankenstien refrences for Sissi.
"yea, well, I found some extra study time later, and I decided it would be great to catch up with you guys. Hey, maybe we could do something tonight?"
Jeremy said, all peppy and full of glee, like the past few hours of trying to understand nano bot's did nothing on his sanity.
"Really? I thought you'd be stuck in your room for the whole weekend trying to figure this test out. How did you find more time to study?"
Yumi asked.
"Well, it's a secret; I'll show you guys sometime what I mean. But for now, I'm starved. Odd, what's on the menu today?"
Jeremy asked. Odd sniffed the air around the cafeteria.
"From what I can tell, it's… SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS! We'd better hurry, I doubt Rosa will have enough for me."
Odd said, running ahead. It didn't matter, as everyone got there before him. Yumi and Ulrich made it first in line, then Aileta and Jeremy, and finally Odd.
"Ulrich, I'm still a little surprised about you giving William a second chance. What made you decide that?"
Yumi asked, dragging her full plate towards there table.
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later."
Ulrich said as he set his food down in his spot.
"How did you find so much extra time to study that you're able to take the rest of the day off?"
Aileta asked, still a little confused at Einstein.
"Well, it's a bit of a surprise. I'll tell everyone tomorrow."
Jeremy said, dragging his platter of food of towards the table with Aileta.
"Hey Rosa, how's my favourite and most beautiful lunch lady doing?"
Odd asked, hoping to get a double serving of lunch.
"I'm fine, but I'm not sure you'll be. We ran out of meatballs on your cousin over there."
Rosa said, hiding a small smile.
"Well, if there are no more meatballs, what is left?"
Odd asked, afterwards sad he even asked. Rosa set down a big bowl of bustle sprouts.
