I had this already done, so I was like- HECK WITH IT!! I'll just put it up! ALMOST DONE WITH "Since When?" but I need a good cliffhanging ending….hmmm…

Anyway, myself, I hate when people make OC's in the stories, but there's been some I've seen that were very good with them, SO I made this when a major OC and remember "The Kadic's Secret"? Yeah, I'm halfway done with that. SO FOR PEOPLE WONDERING: I'll put the dates of the deadline of when story updates will be…updated?

Could It Be:6/20
Since When: 6/11
ToonTown's SOS:6/13
It's Only Highschool: Discontinued, "Game Of Teenaged Life" is pretty much the same thing.
The Color's Of Yumi:6/14
The Game of Teenaged Life:6/12 (Sneek Peek of "Could It Be?")
I forgot to mention other stories I've been updating:
The Kadic's Secret: Lost file. I have to re-do it. 6/16
High school Madness: 6/15

OKAY! I'm DONE! For my other stories- I've written ideas. So trust me, I'm not in any writer's block at the moment. I'm just trying to update my more popular stories first.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"…thirty in the morning! Rise and Shine! It's a wonderful sunny day here in Paris, France! It is April 29th, Sunday, 6:30 in the morning! Sun's out and traffic, good enough, right? Good enough!"

"URGGAH!!" Yumi slammed her alarm clock on the floor. It must've broken- The sound of it meeting the floor didn't sound so good. She always forgot to change her alarm clock for the weekend.

"Morning Cousin and friends!" Mandiee skipped inside, her hair was damp, and she looked like she's been up for awhile.

Sam moaned- the last thing she wanted to do on a Sunday was get up early.

"What time did you wake up, Ms. Sunshine?" Yumi sat up, her back ached from sleeping on the bedroom floor.

"…Five or so…."

"You slept for three hours, HOW ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT?!" Sam shouted.

"What's with the yelling?" Jeremie came up, wiping his glasses against his shirt, "Morning ladies."

Yumi groaned, and fell back.

"It's 6:30 something in the morning. On a SUNDAY. Why don't you guys sleep in?"

"Da-da-da-da-da." Mandiee sang to herself, "Guess what guys?"

"…What? DARE I ask." Aelita slowly sat up.

"IT'S SUNDAY!"

"Oh my god." Sam slammed her head back onto the pillow. Thanking the lord that Yumi fell for her "Back problem" and Ms. Sam got the bed.

"Okay, Mandiee. I love you, really, I do. But honestly- WHAT DRUG ARE YOU ON?!" Yumi cried.

Mandiee stayed quiet,

"I always wake up early…"

"Yeah, Same here." Jeremie nodded, "It's just like…programmed."

"Please don't go all computer on us…"

Jeremie walked into the room, as Mandiee walked down the hallway.

"Girls." Jeremie whispered, and got three groans for an answer, "Does Amanda know about Lyoko?"

Yumi shot up with that,

"I'm not sure…"

"Did you tell her?" Sam asked, "Over the phone…face-to-face...?"

"I don't remember. I might have said something to her…"

"We'll ask her later…" Jeremie sighed, looking out the window, "I just hope Xana doesn't attack until we know…"

XxX

"Yeah. All of it." She answered, laying back in the chair of Yumi's crowded kitchen.

"So I DID tell you!" Yumi grinned- She knew that….

"No, you didn't." Mandiee replied, "I told you about it, in '04. American Lyoko Team."

"…Wait, so Xana attacks you in America?" Ulrich shook his head. Is Xana crazy or what?

"Yeah. There's a super computer, factory, everything. There's team of Lyoko Warriors there too."

"…Wow. I can't believe he's attacking the other side of the world…" Jeremie put a hand on his forehead. This was some big news to him.

Amanda pushed her plate away from her, when Odd gave her a pleading look, she smiled and nodded, and he took the plate.

"What do you think he's doing when he's not attacking you?"

"…Maybe we could combine the two Lyoko's together…" Sam announced, "That way, we could use the other Lyoko's power to strengthen another one. Including the heart of Lyoko."

"It IS possible we could do that." The blonde boy-genius nodded in agreement, "but it would take a long time to search all of America for one certain Computer ID address, and then find the right file, and timing counts as well. We'll get the wrong information if Xana is attacking while we combine the two Lyokos."

"Can't you contact through a command prompt? Like a normal computer?"

"Yeah, if I knew the computer ID address."

"Do you know it?" Aelita turned to Mandiee.

"I used to, but I don't remember since Carlos took control of the Super computer. I could call…"

"…It would be around…11 at night, there. It's not even Sunday, yet for them." Jeremie answered.

"Yeah? So?" The American took out her black phone and put it up to her ear, "…Hello? Carlos? Yeah…It's Me…Uh, that's nice, but I have an actual reason for this call…yeah, okay, so I need the computer ID address of our Super computer…YES the one that gets us to Lyoko! What other one do we know about? …Uh…I just need to know, that's why." The blonde girl looked at Jeremie and put the phone down, "He wants to know why, can I tell him about you guys?"

Jeremie shrugged, "It'll be a surprise, but helpful information."

"Okay, well, truth be told- There's a Lyoko in France. Yeah, they have their own team here. Uhh...Yea…but anyway, we were thinking we could combine the two Lyokos for more power, but we need your Computer ID address. NO! The Super Computer. AM195928? Yeah, that rings a bell. Sure, yeah, Xana attacks here too. I know, I know. Alright, that's cool, but that's all we need for now. Kay, Thanks. Bye." She put her phone back in her back pocket, "Carlos says Hi, Yumi."

"Okay. So.." Jeremie started, "The Computer ID address is AM 195928?"

"Yeah…That's what he says, and he's like…the next Einstein."

"What does it stand for, anyway?"

"AM- American. 19- American Computer ID starter. 59- In Texas. 28- Pinpoint. Exactly. It gives you the exact computer."

"Cool. Jeremie, what's ours?"

"FR201203. FR- France. 20- French Computer ID starter. 12- In Paris. 03- Exact computer."

"That's awesome!" Odd jumped up, "It's like a computer's identity!"

"…That's what ID stands for…." Sam informed. GOD, was her boyfriend stupid. But she loved him anyway.

"…Right."

XxX

"You need to en-roll here?" Mr. Delmas asked, "Sure thing, Doll."

Kadic never shot down a student that almost was on her hands and knees begging to go to this school.

"Here, let me just fix you up a schedule. Come with me." He brought her up to the consular, "What classes do you want?"

"…Choir and Theater. Health is non-optional right?"

"Right." The Consular informed, expecting a frown.

"Yay! My parents wanted me to take another semester on it."

"But school's only in for another month or so…"

"I know, but a month is better than not at all, right?"

"…Right. Take a seat. Let's talk about your schedule."

Amanda took notice that the consular never got up from her seat, Mr. Delmas said his farewells, and Ms. Jenkis took her spot on the other side of the desk.

"Okay, first. I'll let you know about me." The consular said in a calm and gentle voice- Like a child gives a scared puppy, "My name is Ms. Keller. I'm the consular of the whole school. 5th grade-12th. I've been here for two years, and I like this school. I think you'll like it too."

"…Thanks, I feel welcomed."

"Now, tell me. Where were you born? What's your name, darlin'? Why are you coming to Kadic Academy?"

"Uh, My name is Mandiee Jenkis. I was born in Japan, but I lived in America for about a year, then my parents split up, so I went to live with a friend on my parents since my grandparents passed away. My father's friend sent me to France to see my Aunt and Uncle Ishiyama, and they want me to go to school here."

Ms. Keller's eyes brightened, "Ishiyama? As in Yumi Ishiyama? Is she your cousin?"

"…Yes, ma'am."

"Ah, I can see a slight resemblance."

"Really? We look nothing alike."

"Not by physical features, but both of you have a wonderful skin color, a very delicate voice, and you both are very sweet."

"…Thanks."

"Now, about this…" Ms. Keller pointed to her pink streak, "Is this permanent?"

Amanda had to think quick- She wanted to go to this school. The streak was actually a mark from Xana.

"Uh, my mother's side has this faithful belief in colors of happiness. Each of the girls in my family have a different color in their hair, depending on their hair color."

"Ahh…what does pink mean?"

"…Love and Harmony."

"What color does your mom have and what does it symbolize?"

"Light blue- World Peace."

"What faith is this?"

"…It's in our family generation. Yumi doesn't have one, because her father was the one that was taught the belief, but he a boy, and he didn't have to follow it."

"It's interesting. Really. Now, normally, we don't let children in with color like that. It distracts people."

"Oh…I would take it out, if it wasn't permanent, and if my mother and sisters wouldn't hate me. I really want to go here. Yumi's told me so many great things about this place."

Ms. Keller's smile widened,

"I'll let you. Now, I'll let you make your own schedule."

"Thank you ma'am."

"You have eight periods. You must include Some sort of Science, Math, English, History, Study Hall, and Health."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Now, write them on here." Ms. Keller gave Amanda piece of paper.

English
History
Science (Biology)
Health
Math
Theater
Study Hall
Choir

"Does that work?" Mandiee asked.

"…Yes ma'am!"

XxX

"I hope she gets a few classes with us." The group was waiting impatiently out side of the principal's office.

"Yeah, we all have three classes together." Jeremie stated, "Study Hall, Choir, and Theater."

"But you don't sing in Choir."

"Yeah, but neither do they." Jeremie pointed to Ulrich and Odd.

"It was an easy A." Ulrich shrugged, "Anything to make it look like I'm doing better in school."

"I actually enjoy Choir." Aelita smiled, but it went back to a straight face, "if only I could sing better."

"You sing good." Odd encouraged.

"It's you sing well." Yumi corrected.

"Hey! Thanks, Yumi! I think you sing well too!"

The gothic one, shook her head. These were her friends?

"Hey guys, what did you do today?"

"Nothing. Hey! Theo!" Ulrich gave his friend and soccer pal a high-five, "Feeling better?"

Theo sneezed, "Somewhat. What are you guys doing?"

"Yumi's cousin came in from America, and she's going to go here. She's moving here!" Sam said in excitement, "She's awesome. You're going to like her. Imagien an outgoing smart blonde girl."

"Ah, so it's like Odd, only smart and a girl."

Odd gave him a playful look but nodded,

"Yeah."

The door opened, exposing Amanda with a paper in her hand, she almost ran into the sickly one.

"Oh, sorry." She looked up, he was about six inches taller, and she took a step back, "Hi there. I'm Mandiee."

"Yumi's cousin right? I'm Theo. A friend."

"Oh, I heard you weren't feeling well, are you okay?"

"I'm better."

"That's good, I'm glad you're okay."

Theo felt his face trying to turn pink- but he gave all his might to NOT let it show.

"Uh, Thanks."

"SO…" Odd started, "Where are you going today?"

"I gotta get back to the hotel." Amanda started walking toward the school's front door, "I have…pets…"

"Really? What kind?"

"..Dog. Shiba Inus."

"Awww!!!"

"How many?"

"Three. Two boys, One girl."

"Shiba Inus, eh?" Yumi asked, "Bringing the Japanese dog breed?"

"Well, yeahh…"

XxX

"Got any threes, Jeremie?"

"Go fish."

"Okay, this is boring." Theo put his set of cards down, "When is Amanda getting back?"

"Aww, missing her already?"

"WHAT? No! I'm just wondering…gosh."

"Yeah, well, whatever. What's on TV?"

"I'll call Amanda, you…flip through channels." Yumi almost threw the remote at Aelita.

"WELL THANKS!"

XxX (In America)

"Amanda called earlier." Carlos sat back down with his group in the living room of another friend's house.

"Ah, when?"

"Aaron, you don't really care, do you?"

Carlos shone his dark brown eyes in Aaron's direction,

"Of course I care." Aaron responded, "Amanda's my friend, is she not?"

"Yeah, well…she's our friend too."

"She likes me more." A dirty blonde girl said. She wore glasses, and they were barely on her nose.

"Shut up, Brie." A brunette boy replied, "She doesn't have a favorite."

"WHO ASKED YOU, WILL?"

Brie and Will started yelling at each other, but in a playful manner. Aaron, he was the oldest at twenty-two, and usually had to break the fight up, but this time, he felt too tired and didn't mind. Carlos was the 2nd to youngest, just turned eighteen. Brie was almost nineteen, and Will was nineteen and a half.

Wait a minute…I could've sworn there was another person..

"What are they fighting about now?" Julia questioned, coming from downstairs, "No fighting in my house, ya'll. No blood stains, again."

"HE STARTED IT."

"SHE STARTED IT!"

Julia was dead last, she was youngest, she had just turned seventeen. Amanda brought them together….but that's along story. She had blonde hair, and it was put nicely into a ponytail.

"Guys! Shut up! She told me something about Xana and Lyoko!"

"Really?" With that, Brie and Will stopped fighting.

"What is it?" Aaron asked- The curious older one, he is.

"There's a Lyoko in France. And they want to combine our Lyoko with theirs. So we'd fight Xana together."

"Like, we'd know when Xana attacked over there and they would know when he attacked us here?"

"Yeah. I gave them our Super computer's ID. Whoever works the Computer over there can combine the two."

"…Wait, so is the one in France the original?"

"Yeah, we knew the one we have is a replica of another universe. Remember? We figured that out.

"Yeah, and we thought the actually first Lyoko was destroyed, so the maker…made another one!"

"Yeah, I'm gonna get to the factory. I'll see if I can contact through."

"Let's all go."

"I liked it better when Amanda made all the decions." Julia snarled, "She didn't make us stay up till…"

"…One in the morning, but you did anyway." Carlos smiled, "Now- LETS GO!"

XxX

"Are you enjoying your stay, Amanda?"

"Yeah, it's great, but I miss America, y'know?"

"There's differences between. As there was with Japan and America."

Amanda was in her hotel room with her three dogs lying on her lap.

The red Shiba Inu was the girl, named Ginger. She had beautiful green eyes. The black Shiba Inu was the oldest boy, named Pepper. His ice blue eyes gave anyone a smile. The tan Shiba Inu was the youngest out of the three, named Cinnamon. He had the best hazel eyes…

…But, if she's alone with her dogs, who is she having a conversation with?

"Yeah, I realized that." Amanda laid back.

"I'm not only talking about languages."

"Me either. The people were different, the economy, slang, school, everything."

Ginger stretched, "Now where did you say we had to go?"

"My cousin's house, but you have to speak…dog or whatever there."

"We know." Cinnamon wagged his tail, "Bark Bark if other humans are around."

"Very good." Amanda patted Cinnamon's head with a smile.

"Why can't you just tell your friends? We're not real dogs, as you are not real human." Pepper questioned, "I'm getting tired of hiding who I really am."

"Pepper, if you get down with the dogs…"

"Don't give me a dog line, please."

"Forgive me, Pep." Amanda grabbed hold to her oldest 'creation' and put him front of her face, "But you're a cutie pie! Yes you arrrre!"

Pepper sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I said- YES YOU ARE."

He licked her nose..

"Bark…-sigh- Bark…"

"Just use telepathy if you need anything, kay?" Amanda told the puppies.

"Sure thing." Cinnamon gave a bit of a salute.

"Will do." Ginger put a paw up.

"Whatever…"

"Okay! Ready to go?"

. . .

"Ahh! But mommy! I wanted the window seat!"

"Pepper…" Amanda growled, "Share the window."

"I CANT HEAR YOUUU!!!" Pepper's head was out the window, all three Shiba Inus were sharing the passenger seat of Amanda's Volvo C70.

"Grrrr! Mommy!" Ginger pouted.

"Come." Amanda patted her lap, "You can have my window."

"YAY!" Ginger jumped into Amanda's lap and put her head out of the driver's window.

"Whatta bout me?" Cinnamon asked.

"I'll share with you." Pepper moved over.

Ginger growled at Pepper as the youngest pup came up next to Pepper.

"PEPPER! You're not nice!" Ginger shouted.

"You're not smart!"

"YES I AM!"

"NO YOU'RE NOT!"

"MOM LIKES ME BETTER!"

"MOM LIKE ME BETTER!!!"

Amanda stopped at a red light, and hit her head on the steering wheel, "God…"

"Am Not."

"Are too.."

"STOP IT!" Mandiee shouted, "I love you equally."

"But she likes me better because I wasn't fighting, right mom?"

"…Ugggh."

XxX

"She says she's coming back." Yumi put her phone on the counter, "Hey, Jer. Whatcha doin'?"

"Trying to combine the Lyokos together…it's hard work…"

"Aha! I win! I win!" Odd jumped up and down, "You lost! You Lost!"

"Yeah, well whatever…I'll challenge you to a karate match…" Ulrich sighed.

"Ah, I'm good." Odd sat back down, after settling down, "Unlike Yumi- I don't like being super close to you."

Ulrich rolled his eyes,

"Whatever. At least I have my dignity."

"And your virginity."

"…Oh my god…That seemed random."

"But it's true!!"

"Yeah, well, lucky me."

"Whoa."

"What's going on Jeremie?"

"Someone's talking to me…"

"From?"

"The Super Computer in America."

"Lemme see!" Everyone crowded around Jeremie and his laptop.

AM195928: Who are you?
FR201203: French Lyoko Team.
AM195928:
Oh okay. Making sure. Hi…I guess. I'm Carlos.
FR201203:
Hey, I'm Jeremie.
AM195928:
Now, about putting our Lyokos together. You know that would mean eighty towers, if you guys have forty towers like we do.
FR201203: Yeah, we do, and I realized, but we have a program that can find the active tower. Because of the new towers, it'll be a little slower, but still accurate.
AM195928: Here's something, when we devirtualize, will they come back in America, Or France?
FR201203: I think we can set it, but we'd have to meet face to face to finish that.
AM195928: Sure, I'd LOVE to fly to France, but…time is important.
FR201230: I'm just finished combining our Lyokos. Hopefully, everything is right. I'll get everyone to OUR factory, I need you to get your team on Lyoko. If this worked right, We should see each other.
AM195928: Sounds good, but before we do so, how many people are on your team?
FR201203: Seven. How about you?
AM195928: Six. So together…that's thirteen people. Xana can't take us all.
FR201203: Yeah, till then.

"That was interesting." Yumi stated.

"Wait, did you add Amanda?"

"To what?" Jeremie looked at Theo.

"To the total of Lyoko Warriors."

"…I'm not sure, only one way to find out." Jeremie started, "To the factory!"

XxX

"Right now? What a day…" Amanda asked, she didn't even get out of her car, "I'll drive you guys there. Come on."

"Hi puppies!" Yumi said as she sat in the back, with Jeremie, Aelita, Odd, and Ulrich. (Yes, very cramped.) As Theo took the passenger seat.

The dogs stayed near Amanda- They've never seen these people before.

"Ahh, Ginger, Pepper, Cinnamon. They're nice."

"Come 'er!" Yumi called for a dog, her arms open.

Ginger, being the bravest, took a step closer, and then slowly came to Yumi, and she pet Ginger to her liking. The red Shiba Inu was in Yumi's lap in no time.

"Pardon them. They're shy." Amanda explained, "That's Ginger, the only girl. Black one's Pepper. Tan one- Cinnamon."

"You have something for spices?" Odd asked.

Pepper, Attack him. Please. Amanda looked at Pepper as he looked back hearing her thoughts.

Attack him? Maybe a growl and slight bite.

After thinking it over,

Sure, that'll work.

Pepper growled at Odd, jumped up in his lap, and play-bit his shoulder.

"Aren't you energetic?" Odd asked, rubbing Pepper's head.

"Cinnamon's the youngest."

"I love this car." Theo complimented, "This is a Volvo, isn't it?"

"Yes sir. C70. Family and friends as well as I like this car."

I think that guy likes you, Amanda.

"WHAT?" Amanda looked at Ginger, with startled eyes.

Ginger, being only a dog at this point, cocked her head.

Ginger's right. Besides, The guy looks nice. Cinnamon agreed.

Just give him a chance… Pepper told her.

"Huh?" Yumi asked, "I didn't say anything."

Ginger sat up in Yumi's lap. Thank god she was sitting on her lap, or that would've been weird.

XxX

"What about the dogs?" Theo asked as they left the car.

"They'll be fine." Amanda answered, "Let's get to Lyoko, okay?"

"Okay." Jeremie nodded, "Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, Odd. You know what scanners. Theo, Sam, and Amanda. You go to the other part of the scanners."

"…Uh, I'd love to, but I don't know where ANYTHING is!" Amanda answered.

Theo and Sam took an arm and dragged her across the factory,

"We'll show you."

XxX

"See anything?"

"Nope, Carlos. The whole thing's empty. No one, including Xana is here."

"Hmm…he should be virtualizing them anytime now."

"Well, we don't know how far they are from their factory. It just so happens Julia lived real close to ours." Brie brought up.

"Stop being right." Will stuck his tongue out at Brie.

"I like being right." She replied.

"Okay, Okay." Aaron came up, "Stop this fighting."

"Not my fault that Will misses his darling Amanda." Brie put both hands on her heart and swooned a bit.

"Do not!" Will replied.

"Hey, I miss her too. Maybe not like that, but I do miss her. And we know she's over there. We'll get to see her. So LIGHTEN UP!"

"Yes, Father."

XxX

"Maybe we're in the wrong sector." Yumi suggested.

"I guess that's possible." Jeremie replied, "Just a second. I'll try to locate them."

"Well, this is fun." Amanda sighed.

"What weapon do you have?" Sam asked, out of curiousty.

"Enegery balls." Amanda made her palm lay flat, the back of her hand facing the ground, and created what looked like Aelita's weapon, but black.

"Aelita has that too, but in pink."

"Awesome!" Amanda smiled. Her Lyoko Warrior outfit was black. Her shoes were flat, no duh, but had white things scribbled on it. What looked like a miniskirt covered her pelvis, as white pants covered her legs. A long sleeve black sleeved shirt protected her chest, with the letters "AJ" on the front. Nothing new was put on her face, but her hair was black, as it's original color, and put up in a pony tail.

"Aha!" Jeremie cried, "Yumi's right. They're in the forest sector."

"Okay, we're on our way."

XxX

"I think I see them." Julia pointed out into the distance.

"That's them." Carlos informed, "Defiantly."

"…Hello." Ulrich was the first to say something.

Amanda came up last, making sure everyone was okay was just her job.

"Hi…" Aaron replied, "You know your way around, huh?"

"Well, we've only been fighting Xana for almost four years." Yumi replied.

"Amanda!" Brie and Julia scampered over to their best friend and hugged their tightly, "Hi! Hi!"

"…Hey…" Amanda replied, "You can let go now."

"So, if we devirtalize, will we go to America, or France?" Will asked.

"France." Jeremie answered, "For now. Because Carlos and I can't get the American Code back home over the computer."

"…Okay, but how is Carlos supposed to get over there if he has to be on the super computer?" Aelita questioned.

"He can be virtualized himself." Brie answered, "He just doesn't like to."

"Alright, so are we going to France?" Amanda asked.

"Not now, we need to put this to the test." Jeremie started.

"Jeremie's right. Xana launched an attack here." Carlos finished.

"Yup, tower's in the desert section. But now because we have more people to fight him, he'll be more hard on you guys."

"So, be careful."

"Alright, this whole, finish-each-others-sentences thing is creeping me out." Amanda shuddered as they ran toward the tower.

Aha! Xana's got them right where he wants them!

Because if…uh…let's just say…we don't want them to devirtualize…um, because…they might not…exactly…come back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YAY! DONE! Okay.
