Yo yo yo! What's up everyone? Here's Kuki back with a brand new, out of the oven chapter! I just want to say thanks to everyone who took their precious little time to read this and the ones who took even more time to review it! Lol... So, I now I don't have excuses to update this late (More than 3 weeks I think lol) but at least let me try lol... First, I don't have internet at home so I have to beg for someone to have pity for me and just lend me their computer to update, as I did today lol... Thanks bro! Anyways, also there is the fact that about two weeks ago I travelled to Argentina for the Arctic Monkeys' concert, which by the way was amazing! The best time I've ever had! But that has nothing to do with this lol... And also the fact that I had a major writer's block and I just couldn't get this chapter to go anywhere... But anyways, those were my horrible reasons and I hope that you can understand... With that said, on with this chapter! Enjoy it!
Oh... One last thing... I'm so sorry that I forgot to put the Disclaimer in the last chapter... Hopefully Moonscoop won't sue me lol...
So... I definitely don't own Code Lyoko but I do own the 1st. Season in DVD lol! Nah... Code Lyoko is by owned by Moonscoop, France 3 and Canal J and this fic is written only for my entertainment and your disgrace lol!

"Huh? Oh! Here I am, sir... Ummm... Where is Jimbo anyways?"
"It's Jim for you Della Robbia! I will not aloud you to talk to me in that tone!"
"Sorry, sir... But Odd has a point, where is Jim?"
"Yeah, he's right!"
"Yeah, where is him?"
"He's probably sleeping with his teddy bear!"
"Hahahaha! He fell asleep"
"Or maybe he's trying to get a date with Ms. Hertz"
"ENOUGH! I WILL NOT ALOUD YOU TO TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT A TEACHER!"
"Sorry, sir. But... Since he's not here... Will you teach us P.E. now Principal Delmas?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Well sir... Are you?"
"Stern! Della Robbia! To my office now! Immediately"
"But..."
"But nothing! Off you go!"
"Yeah, sir..."
Jeremie's P.O.V.
And there they go again. This is the fourth time this week in the Principal's office... I just don't seem to get it... All has been very weird since we shut XANA down... Or so it seems... Ulrich and Odd just do everything they can to piss off the teachers, they pull up pranks on everyone, doesn't pay attention in class... I mean... Not that the both of them never paid attention in class, but this has gone to far! It looks like they do it on purpose... For fun or something... Well, I can't blame them... It has really been quiet since that they... We just live through the day, nothing ever happens... No XANA attacks to look for, no factory to go to and most certainly no world to save... Who would have said that they would miss XANA that much! I think thay they really liked being heroes... Plus, the whole school has gone... I don't know... Strange maybe? Principal Delmas is always worried and running from one place to the other... Jim is not showing up for his classes anymore... Not even for Yumi and Ulrich's Pencak Silat lessons... I don't know... But there's definitely something strange going on...
"See! See what your stupid friends did? They made my dad angry! Now he's never going to buy me the new Subdigitals album that I asked him! All thanks to you!" complained Sissy...
"Stupid friends? You mean Ulrich too?" I asked her offended
"Umm... No! Just that knucklehead of Odd!" said Sissy, not too convinced
"Sissy, why don't you take that tiny rock that is inside of your head supposedly called 'brain' for a walk and leave Jeremie alone?" said Aelita, coming to my rescue and saving me from her
"Ughh!" was the only thing that Sissy could say as she walked away from us with her hands on her hips
Well, I guess some things never change...
Normal P.O.V.
"Ms. Ishiyama! This is the third time I'm asking you something and you don't answer! I'm afraid that I'll have to send you to the Principal's office" said Mr. Fumet, the History teacher
And without hesitation, Yumi sighed and got up of her desk, closed her books, putted them on her backpack and headed to the door and left the classroom. As soon as she did everyone started whispering about why Yumi was acting so strangely these past days. She always was paying attention to class and taking notes, so there was no reason for her to act like she was doing.
"Excuse me, Mr. Fumet..." said William Dunbar getting up and raising his hand as high as he could
"Yes, Mr. Dunbar? Are you going to ask me something regarding the French Revolution?" asked Mr. Fumet directly
"No, Mr. Fumet..."
"Then I would appreciate that you sit down properly and start writing what's on the board like everyone else does" interrupted Mr. Fumet in a polite but very darkly way while beginning to write on the board again
"Actually, Mr. Fumet... It's about Yumi..." said William, not sitting down. Everyone started whispering again. Mr. Fumet stopped writing but he didn't turn around to face William
"What about Ms. Ishiyama?" asked Mr. Fumet, still not facing him
"Well, if you don't mind... I would like to go out and talk to her... She's going through a rough time you know?" said William
"And may I know what's troubling her?" asked Mr. Fumet, turning around and staring at him, everyone got quiet as he putted his book and chalk on the desk
"Well... Um..." William started. Shoot! I haven't thought of that! Why he wants to know? He just could've sent me to the Principal's office for challenging him! No... He's Mr. Fumet... He wouldn't buy that... Think fast William... Everyone's looking at you! "Um..." I know! Yeah, that would do it! Oh, I'm so dead when she finds out... "An... Um... An aunt of hers back in Japan... Um... Died... Yeah... Um... She was pretty close to her and um... She just found out about it and um... I would like to talk to her and... Make sure that she's OK... Yeah... That..." William said.
He was pretty scared, but he tried to stay still and he commanded his face to stay as serious and convincing as it could. He couldn't believe that he lied like that, but he needed to talk to her, and that was the only thing that he could think of. Everyone started to whisper even louder now, Mr. Fumet just stayed there staring at him. William saw his expression and thought C'mon... How could I think that he would've believe that... Now I'm probably getting detention for lying or something... Gosh! How could I be so stupid!
"Are you aware that leaving this room right now will affect your grade in this class, Mr. Dunbar?" asked Mr. Fumet. William was relieved. He actually bought that! He thought...
"I'm... I'm fully aware of that, sir" said William in a determined tone
"Then you are free to go, Mr. Dunbar" said Mr. Fumet, already writing on the board again
"Tha... Thanks, sir" said William
"Now, please Mr. Dunbar... Leave the room before I change my mind..." whispered Mr. Dunbar and William was heading to the door when Mr. Fumet whispered "And Mr. Dunbar... Please come here for a second... I almost forgot..." and he, again, left his book and chalk in the desk, grabbed a notebook and he wrote something before pulled out the written piece of paper and gave it to him, William read it and then he gulped
"De... Detention, sir?" was the only thing that William was able to say, as he looked up and down the paper several times "But I... thought..."
"Yes, William... But you know... I have a reputation to maintain... So please take this paper to Nicole and head to the Principal's office..." whispered Mr. Fumet, and winked at him... "Now... Please go Mr. Dunbar... And please close the door while you leave" said again, but this time he said it for everyone to hear. William stared at him for a few seconds and then he finally left the classroom.
William then headed to the Principal's office, which was pretty close from the History class, he wandered through the halls until he reached a door with a sign that read "Administrative office", and he entered. It was a large room with loads of chairs on one side and a large desk on the other side, where the secretary, Nicole, was typing on a computer
"Hello, William. Long time no see. What's bringing you over here? I hope it's not a..." said Nicole but she got quiet when William showed the piece of paper that Mr. Fumet gave him. Nicole then sighed and continued "...detention note... William! I thought that you were behaving now! Well, I think that you can wait in the Conference room since Principal Delmas is covering for Jim's class with the 9th Graders..." and she pointed at a door in front of her that read "Conference Room"
"Sure Nicole... Thanks" and William headed for the door and opened it. He found himself in the room that he hadn't entered in a long, long time, since he was trapped in Lyoko actually. It was a large room with a large, oak wood table and lots of chairs around it, all but one occupied, the one that wasn't was taken by none other than Yumi.
"Yumi!" William said and he took the chair that was next to her. He just stared at her
"William... Hi..." said Yumi
"Yumi, what's wrong with you... This day you've been..."
"Nothing, William..."
"Come on Yumi! You can tell me... We're friends after all right?" said William with a smile. Yumi smiled also
"It's nothing really, William... But thanks for asking anyways..."
"Well, I tried right?" said William at the same time that the door was opened and two figures entered the room
"Well... Look who we found here, Ulrich... The dream couple huh?"
"Oh shut up, Odd!"
"Yumi... William... Why are you guys here? Detention?" said Ulrich in a sad tone. He was definitely not happy about seeing Yumi and William together
"Well yeah... Not paying attention at Fumet's class" William answered "And you?"
"The same... Well, it was pretty stupid actually... Just for asking Delmas if he was going to teach us P.E. since Jim was absent again! But I'm afraid that we'll have to wait for Delmas 'cause he's leaving school again" said Odd, getting a notebook out of his backpack and starting to draw stuff
"Again?" said Yumi, taking interest in what Odd said "I think this is a bit strange, isn't it? I mean... He walking in and out of the school everyday and not telling anyone a thing... Not even the teachers know what's up with him..."
"Well, yeah... Maybe he's having trouble about school" William said
"Or maybe he's having health problems" Yumi said, worried
"Or maybe he's side kicking Spider Man and he has to answer the Red Line to save the city!" said an excited Odd while showing everyone a drawing of Principal Delmas in red and blue tights, similar to Spider Man's but in the middle of the suit instead of a spider it had an 'SP' written
"What does 'SP' stand for?" Ulrich asked
"Spider Principal!" Odd yelled
"ODD!" everyone yelled as they fell from their chairs and then they all laughed, but then the door opened for the second time and Nicole entered the room
"Yumi, William, Odd, Ulrich... Principal Delmas is ready to see you in his office... But I'm afraid to tell you that he's not happy..." and that said everyone exited the conference room and entered Principal Delmas' office, where he was sitting in his big red leather armchair with a not so happy expression in his face
"Here they are, sir" said Nicole as Yumi and Ulrich sat in chairs and William and Odd stood beside them
"Thanks, Nicole... Please, call this number" and he handed Nicole a piece of paper, his hands shaking "And tell them that... The package has been sent... And if they call again... Tell them... Tell them that everything was been taken care of... Yeah... Just tell them that... If they want more information tell them to call me personally..." said Principal Delmas in a frightened tone
"Su... Sure, sir... Right away" and Nicole left the office. Ulrich and Yumi looked at each other and their looks said to each other that something was definitely not right at school
"Now... First things first... Mr. Dunbar... I was not expecting this type of behavior form you... So for today you are forgiven, but you are leaving this room with a warning... If you end up here again you'll get detention or even suspended... Is that clear, Mr. Dunbar?" asked Principal Delmas very calmly
"Yeah... I mean... Yes, sir" said William
"OK, Mr. Dunbar... You can leave..."
"Sure, sir. Thank you very much" and William left the room, not without looking at Yumi, Odd and Ulrich.
"Now... I'm getting a little bit tired of seeing the three of you in here, especially you two" Principal Delmas said pointing at Ulrich and Odd "So... Ms. Ishiyama... What's you're excuse today?"
"None, sir..." Yumi said, pretty determined
"So none huh? And what about you two... Any excuses for disrespecting me?"
"I don't think so, sir" Ulrich said
"I'm getting tired of that one too, Mr. Stern" said Principal Delmas very coolly "You three gained a call of warning to your parents and a month of cleaning the cafeteria after dinner!"
"But, sir..." started Odd
"No buts, Mr. Della Robbia! I'm getting sick of having you in here I think this will teach you a lesson! You'll start today..."
"But, sir... I don't eat dinner here... I'm not a boarder..."
"Well... I guess you'll start to eat dinner here today Ms. Ishiyama! So... Are we clear?"
"Yeah" the three said
"I SAID ARE WE CLEAR?!" Principal Delmas yelled
"Yes, sir!" the three said again in unison
"Now leave my office before I change my mind and decide to suspend you! Which is what you three deserve!" said Principal Delmas very coolly and the three of them left the office as Principal Delmas said through the intercom "Nicole, let Rosa now that Ms. Ishiyama and Mr.'s Stern and Della Robbia are cleaning the cafeteria every night starting today"
When Yumi, Ulrich and Odd left the office they heard Nicole say to them "You're lucky... You know that right?" with a serious tone in her voice
"Why? He had no right in suspending us! Did he?" Odd said, defending himself like it was a life-or-death situation "I mean, we didn't do anything wrong!"
"Maybe not... But consider yourself lucky... He already suspended three people today! I just want to warn you something, stop getting yourselves in trouble... Even if the teacher is wrong... You end up here one more time and you'll get suspended... Or worse... You can even get expelled... You don't have to mess around with the Principal's mood this days... OK?" said Nicole very seriously, the three guys looked at each other and assented
"So, go to the cafeteria. It lunch time... And remember... Behave! And warn William for me too OK?"
"Sure, Nicole... Thanks" Ulrich said
"Now go! You are not allowed to hang around here anymore. Plus I have to make an very important phone call as you've heard the Principal ordering me" and Nicole picked up the phone and started to dial the number that Principal Delmas gave her. Ulrich gestured Yumi and Odd to get closer to him and whispered "Hey guys... Maybe we should stick around and see what's this all about... Apparently that phone call is extremely important..."
"Yeah, you're right" Yumi whispered "Maybe it's some reason why Delmas is acting all weird"
"OK, this is the plan... Odd, go and find Jeremie and Aelita, tell them to meet us at our room and stay with them... Don't tell them anything until Yumi and I are back OK?"
"Gotcha!" and with a salute sign Odd sped up like a thunder and exited the room
"Now, Yumi, you go and guard the teacher's lounge... Make sure that anyone comes this way OK?"
"Hey, but what I'm supposed to say?" asked Yumi
"I don't know! That... Um... You're aunt from Japan died... You're smart, Yumi! You'll come up with something!" and with that said Yumi blushed furiously, so did Ulrich when he found out what he said
"Um... And what will you do?" Yumi asked, still blushing but she tried to hide it by changing the subject
"I'll hide and try to hear the conversation..." Ulrich said
"Oh... OK... Um... Right... So... Do you really think that I'm smart?" Yumi asked, blushing even more than before
"Um..." Ulrich started while rubbing the back of his neck like he always does when he's nervous "Yes, Yumi. I think you're the third smartest person I've ever met... Now go Yumi! We're wasting time!"
"I'm... I'm on it, sir!" Yumi exclaimed as Ulrich blushed from this commentary, and she went to the teacher's lounge which was located at the end of a hallway next to Nicole's desk. Ulrich hid in that very same hallway since it was the best, nearest hide place where he was able to hear everything Nicole said
"Um, hello... I'm calling in behalf of Kadic Junior High... Yeah... Yes, Jean-Pierre Delmas... This is Nicole speaking... Sure, I can hold on... Um... hello Mr. Gunsett, Mr. Delmas wants to say to you that the package has been sent and I'm sure that'll arrive any time this afternoon OK?... Actually, sir, Mr. Delmas has told me that if you had any questions about the new School Board that you should call him personally... Yes, sir... Um... Right now he's not in his office but maybe... Oh, do you want me to tell him that?... Sure, sir... That you have the date for the change... Sure, I'll let him now... OK, sir... No, it's no trouble at all! OK... Good day to you too... I'll be expecting you're call... Bye..." and Nicole hung up the phone, got up and left the office in a rush. Ulrich sighed, he was hoping that he would get more specific information. New School Board? Date for the change? The change? What's that all about? Well, it didn't seem like Nicole knew anything, so maybe she's in the void like we are... Well, Jeremie will find this very interesting... he thought, but his thoughts were interrupted by some footsteps that were coming from the teacher's lounge
"Ms. Ishiyama, I'm really sorry about your loss. You have my deepest condolences..." Mrs. Hertz, the chemistry teacher said as she was walking out of the teacher's lounge and heading towards Ulrich's location
"Condolences?" a very intrigued Yumi asked, as she tried to block her way
"Well, yes! I mean... For your aunt... I heard it from Mr. Fumet... She was pretty close to you right?" asked a worried Mrs. Hertz as she finally stopped walking and stood there watching Yumi
"Huh?" Yumi said as she tried to cover for Ulrich who was standing just behind her "Oh! Yes..." she said as she finally got what Mrs. Hertz was trying to say "Yes... My aunt... She was a nice lady... She died of... Of... Of lung cancer... Yes... Of that... Well thanks Mrs. Hertz! I appreciate that..."
"Well, Ms. Ishiyama, if you excuse me now I have to go to the laboratory to pick some..." and the sound of the bell interrupted her "Oh my! Lunch time already? Well, I guess I can go later. Take care Ms. Ishiyama" and the Mrs. Hertz turned around and entered the teacher's lounge again, Yumi sighed in relief, so did Ulrich
"We almost got caught!" Ulrich said "Come on Yumes... Let's get out of here until someone comes" and he turned around and headed for the exit door when Yumi asked him "Are you a psychic or something, Ulrich?" Ulrich turned around with a confused expression on his face "What do you mean?" he asked
"Well! Did you not hear what Mrs. Hertz was talking about?!" Yumi asked in disbelief
"Yeah, but what about it? Oh! You used that excuse! Hahahaha! She bought it!" Ulrich said laughing
"It's not funny, Ulrich!" Yumi exclaimed
"Sorry, Yumi... I just" Ulrich said, suddenly stopping laughing
"It's not that, Ulrich!" Yumi interrupted him "It's just that... I didn't tell her anything! She said that all by herself!"
"WHAT? SHE DID?!" Ulrich asked loudly
"Yeah! How could she know that I was going to tell her that!" Yumi said, heading for the door with Ulrich following her
"Maybe I am a psychic!" Ulrich said in a happy tone, Yumi looked at him, hit his arm gently and said "Come on... You are starting to sound like Odd! Now let's go! It's been a while now since we sent Odd to look for Jeremie and Aelita... Maybe they're already waiting for us" and when Yumi was about to grab the doorknob, she saw the door open right in front of her, and if it wasn't for her great reflexes she would've been knock out by the door, Ulrich and Yumi freaked out thinking that maybe was Nicole or the Principal who was coming
"Hey guys, we've been waiting for you real long! Will you come or are you going to stay there and kiss all day long?" asked none other than Odd and with that said he left, leaving Ulrich and Yumi blushing furiously for the 3rd time today
"Um... Let's go... Odd's right" said Ulrich and headed for his room
"Um... Ulrich?" Yumi asked very softly, but Ulrich heard anyways and he stopped his pace and turned around
"Yeah, Yumi?" said Ulrich
"Um... When you said... Um... That I was the third smartest person that you've ever met... Who... Who are the ones that I have to beat?" asked Yumi still very softly, afraid that Ulrich might've not heard, but again, Ulrich heard what she said and he got near her
"Jeremie and Aelita, respectively... But, there's no need to beat them... I like you just the way you are... The third smartest person I've ever met..." Ulrich whispered to her ear, they both were very red, and he felt his face very warm
"I knew it. I think I like being third..." Yumi said smiling, Ulrich smiled also, her smile made him really happy and made him smile also "Now, let's go!" she said
"This is probably the 30th time that some of us say that today, you know?" Ulrich said laughing "But we should... I have some news that they'll find very interesting"
Yay! My second chapter! The title "Back in the Picture" means that even though Yumi, Ulrich and Odd had their own problems and where a little bit distracted from school and everything because of that, thanks to that little secret that the Principal is hiding, they got back together and they will fight everything to know what's going on at Kadic... It's also a The Rasmus song that I strongly recommend, that's from where I got the name.
I hope this is long enough to keep your interest and to make up for the whole month that I didn't update!
Code Lyoko finally ended! In France I mean... I'm sad about that... I won't say much in case that you haven't seen the episode but it's really... um... how to say it... strange maybe... the way that it ended... actually I was expecting something more exciting and I DEFENITELY didn't expected what happened at the end! Pretty lame actually... But I hope that there's a fifth season... I really do because I'm not happy with the results...
Anyways, lots and lots of conversations in this chapter... Also a little bit of UxY right? And also special guest apparition by Nicole, Kadic's secretary, Mr. Fumet, the History teacher and this Mr. Gunsett that we have no clue that he is right?
With that said, please stay tuned, or online in this case lol, for the next chapter and please remember to hit that little purple button at the end that says "Go" and leave a review telling me suggestions, congratulations, flames or even death notes lol! Also if you saw Code Lyoko's last episode and you would like to criticize it with me you're officially encouraged to do so... And also I would like you to tell me if the grammar is OK so I can get better... And I think that all...
Read you next chapter! R&R! Yours Truly, Kuki!
