Yay! Another chapter! Can you believe that it came that quickly?? ((insert normal disclaimer blah blah blah Rya Miko owned by Mello-Out Ink.)) Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention this, but Lyoko won't be appearing in this story. Jeremie had found the antivirus, and Lyoko was shut down.

Jeremie opened the door to his room, to find Miko leaning out of the window. Before he could speak, Miko quickly withdrew from the window, and closed it. There was a shout from outside. ((hmm… seems sorta familiar, doesn't it? . ))

"Oh, hi. I'm Miko Topika, and I guess you'll be my roomie."

"I'm Jeremie Belpois. Didn't you kiss Sissi?" Miko stared at Jeremie.

"Who's that?"

"Long black hair, pink clothes."

"Ohh, her. Oh, yeah, well, Rya dared me to. Which bed do you want? I don't care which one I get."

"I'll take this one."

"Good, cuz I don't want either. I'm just gonna sleep in my chair." Miko soon had a swinging chair hanging off the ceiling.

"Oh, I hope you don't mind Miru," he said, pulling an iguana out of a box.

"As long as he doesn't mess anything up."

"Oh, she'll be fine. Iguanas are some of the easiest pets to take care of. I just need a sunny place for her, and some fruit."

"Where'd you get those dog tags?" Jeremie asked, when Miko's dog tags fell out from under his shirt. Miko looked down at them, and smiled.

"My parents got them made for me. They're in the army, but were shipped out a couple days before we were sent here."

"Is Rya your sister?" Miko grinned.

"Kinda. We've been friends since we were little, and we act like brother and sister sometimes." There was suddenly a thud at their door, and Jeremie opened the door to Rya sitting on the ground, rubbing her head. Miko helped her to her feet.

"Come on. We're going for food. You can come too," Rya said, pulling Miko out of the room.

"Rya, this is Jeremie. Jeremie, this is Rya."

"Hiya, now let's go. I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry."

"I have a second stomach, okay. Let's go, Jeremie." Rya pulled him out of the room, and closed the door.

"How did you manage to hit the door?" Jeremie asked. Rya grinned.

"These floors are great for sliding, and I was going too fast, hitting your door."

"Really?"

"Yep, watch. These floors are better than at MS." Miko and Rya ran a little, slid, and crashed into Yumi, Aelita, Ulrich, and Odd, who had been coming up to get Jeremie. Rya and Miko started laughing, and soon, everyone was laughing. Rya and Miko quickly got off the floor, and helped the others get up. A couple seconds later, Jim came around the corner. Rya and Miko stood with their hands behind their backs, and their feet apart. The Lyoko group looked at each other, surprised. It was amazing at how fast those two had a mood change.

"Ah, Remerase, Topika. Is everything okay here?" Jim asked, looking from Rya to Miko and back.

"Yes, sir," they said in unison.

"What was all of that noise?"

"It was nothing, sir." Jim nodded, and walked away. Rya turned to the others.

"Come on. I'm hungry. Where're we eating?"

"Geez, Ry. Is that all you can think about?"

"No. I was wondering if you could carry me all the way to the restaurant. No, I dare you to," Rya said, grinning. Miko smirked.

"Fine, but I dare you to carry me back."

"Deal." Rya hopped on Miko's back. "Okay, where are we going?"

"The restaurant is just off campus."

"Lead the way," Miko said. They headed off to the restaurant. They were soon seated, and had plates of food in front of them.

"Why were you acting like that around Jim?" Ulrich asked. Rya held up a finger, since her mouth was full of pasta.

"Wait till I'm done eating this." Rya had eaten her food in no less than 3 mintues. "Mmm, that was good. Okay, the Jim thing. Well, Jim was in the army with our parents. I guess he followed his dream of becoming a teacher. I guess our parents told him that we would be coming."

"What about the whole 'sir' thing?" Odd asked.

"Well, we had just gotten back from a year at military school, so we're supposed to be in better shape. It's easy to fool the people at MS, isn't it, Mik?"

"Supperly easy. Remember my bottle rocket collection?"

"That was you that night, wasn't it?" Miko nodded, and Rya started laughing. "Okay, in the middle of the night, Miko set off pretty much his entire collection of bottle rockets, which he had been collecting for over 13 years, right over the girl's dorms. It sounded exactly like 50 guns being shot off, right over your head. It was funny, because he was able to lie directly to the headmaster's face. Told him that someone from the school next to ours set them off.

"Well, I had suspected that he had done it, so the next night, I snuck over to the boy's dorms, and used some of my cherry bombs." Miko groaned.

"She exploded all of the toilets in the boy's bathrooms. All of the dorms in the boy's building were flooded, and we had to sleep in tents on the grounds. It was funny, because the next day, a visiting school came, and the boys had to share tents with us. Our parents took us out soon after. Did your parents think you had something to do with the 'accidents'?" Miko asked, looking at Rya.

"No, why would they? It didn't look like I had taken any of my cherry bombs, and they know that I don't like playing with bottle rockets."

"That's a lie. She almost got this one guy in the head."

"That's because he was being annoying."

"He was a Jehovah Witness."

"Exactly my point. I was hiding, and nobody lived in that house, so he never found out who did it. And what about you?"

"What about me?"

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who put a cherry bomb in Mrs. Finklestein's sewer system. She had fesses all over her house."

"Served her right. She stole our baseball."

"Because you got it through her window."

"Because you dared me to." They went on for a while like this. Rya looked at her watch.

"Well, It's officially 10, so now what do we do?"

"It's 10!! We're supposed to be in our dorms now."

"Okay, let's go." Rya ran out of the restaurant, and Miko paid for the food. He hopped on Rya's back, and she ran all the way to campus. As soon as she made it past the gates, she dropped Miko on the ground. Miko knew what she was doing, so he waited for the others, before he had them follow him to the dorms. Jim had his back to them, and Rya was looking at her shoes. Miko had them quickly run behind Jim's back, and gave Rya a thumbs up, before he ran. Rya soon joined Yumi and Aelita in their dorm, but she was asleep in her chair, before they could say anything to her.

Whew! That was a long chapter! Now that you have some more background info on Rya and Miko, what do you think of them?
