"Ok, that goes there and that goes there," Savanna instucted Odd and Summer. Hopefully, this time they could finish decorating without there being a return trip. Summer was so syked for the Dance-a-Thon she could hardly contain her enthusiasm. Odd had found them another dj, his friend Sam who he was going to meet at the side gate before eight tommorow morning. The Dance-a-Thon didn't start until ten still he wanted to give her as much time as possible to set up, "Alright, we are finito! We are golden!"
Ally and Nick were walking around the on the boys dorm floor looking for Jeremy. Jeremy asked Nick to come to his room and it was urgent. So Nick told Ally he needed to borrow his rollerskates because his were busted, Jeremy wasn't going to the skate zone, and they were the same size. "Jeremy I was wond- what the fuck?" They seemed to have barged in at the wrong moment. Jeremy was sitting at his chair, only in his boxers with a bloody razor in his hand and about twenty slices on his being, "Jeremy..." he stammered looking for the right words, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?"
"Uh? It's not what it looks like?" Jeremy stuttered. Ally was crying now she was always never able to understand cutting. She was afraid af people who cut, since her mother once accidentally let her watch a show that was about cutting and how it leads to suicide. She ran out of the room with tears in her eyes.
"Then what is this?" Nick asked looking around the hallway. He was making sure Ally was out of earshot, "We'll talk about this later, ok?"
"No, no..." Jeremy mumbled, he was feeling a scar on his left wrist, "Look I am not emo or any of that shit... I just..." he trailed off. Nick looked him in the eye with hatrid and understanding. Nick knew Jeremy had so much shit on his plate that it might lead to phychiatric problems. Jeremy breathed then continued, "sice i've had so much work with school, homework, and Lyoko... I was so depressed I... one day took that razor, and I cut myself. I never felt so relieved it was like I could be... having less and less anxiety; however it became an addicting habit after that incident with the Teddy Monster," Jeremy had finished. He turned his attention to his computer. Nick noticed he had alot more scars on his back than his front. "The reason I asked you to come here was because during your last virtualization your endocrine system was put out of whack," Jeremy told him in his regular tone of voice, " so I need to hook these wires," he pulled out many different wires, "to were your glands are on the outside."
"Am I the only one?" Nick asked nervously.
"No Summer and Savanna do as well, but not as bad," Jeremy reassured him, "Still if their cases worsen I'll do to them what I am going to do to you. Okay remove all articles of clothing on your person."
"Wha- what?" Nick asked his cheeks flushing, "I'd feel more comfortable if you got dressed first, then I'll do it."
"Whatever," Jeremy said blankly as he put his shirt and pants back on. He closed the curtains on his window.
Nick pulled off his black t-shirt then his blue longsleeve undershirt. He then took his time taking his shoes and socks off, "Wait a second I'm not going to be bending over then starting to cry in a few seconds am I?" Jeremy nodded no. Nick shrugged as he unbuttoned and unzippered his jeans. He was now turning bright red as he grabbed his black boxers and felt all wierd he couldn't do it. Jeremy rolled his eyes, and pulled them down.
"Lay down ont he bed," Jeremy gestured towards the bed. Nick did as he was told to do as Jeremy one by one fastened each wire to the appropiate gland(s), "Pituitary," he placed it on the back of Nick's head, "Hypothalamus," he put it just above the first one, "Pineal," he put it next to the hypothalamus wire, " Thyroid," he fastened a thin neckbrace with four tiny openings for the parathyroids, "Parathyroids," he place four small ones in the opening, "Adrenal," he placed two just above each kidney, "Pancreas," he placed a cresent shaped pad with the wires protuding over his liver, "and finally the Testes," Nick stopped Jeremy's hand, grabbed the wires and placed them on himself slowly and looked him in the eyes, "Alright now just relax."
The next morning Nick's results came back fine, Ally was still creeped out at Jeremy's "problem", and Savanna was waiting on her dj.
Odd woke up at seven-thirty that morning yawning so loudly it woke Ulrich, "Odd?" but Odd was already heading for the bathroom to start his day. After getting all his hygenics all wrapped up he still had enough time to grab a quick breakfast, "So Rose what might be on the menu today? And might I just say how lovely you look today?"
"Extra rations of scrambled eggs and beacon for you, Odd." Rose replied blushing, "Oh and don't be peckish with the fresh muffins."
"Muffins?" Odd wondered looking down the line to the coffee stand where they sure enough were, "you made muffins today?"
"Oh Odd I make them every Saturday," Rose answered Odd's quizzical look, "You just get here when the last one is taken."
Odd moved down the line and grabbed two banana bread muffins, four blueberry, three corn, and one rasin muffin. Scarfing down his eggs and beacon with rapid chews as Sissi walked over with Herve and Nicholas not far behind, "be careful Odd or your jaw might freeze like that."
"Is that what happened to your face!" he busted out laughing after swallowing his last bite. Sissi stormed off to the line as Nicholas and Herve had to jog to keep up. Odd grabbed his muffins and went to meet his friend at the side gate. Other students watched in disgust at how he ate almost all of the muffins in one bite. He was at the side gate and looked around, "Where is she?" Odd wondered as he went to take his first bite of his last muffin. He didn't notice it was gone until.
CHOMP!
"AH-HA-HA MY FINGER!!" Odd said as he jumped up and down holding his throbbing finger.
"Ha-ha," he heard a voice say. A dark-skinned girl in black shirt and pants with a plaid miniskirt, it was Sam. "So Odd what's happenin'?" she simply asked taking a bite out of the muffin, "Mmm... thats the best damn muffin I ever had."
"But thats my muffin!" he cried watching her, enving her. She was eating his rasin muffin.
"Tough luck," Sam teased Odd as she taunted him with the rest of the muffin, "Guess what." Sam intrigued him with a guess what question. Odd was eager to know whatever it was. From her bag she pulled out a bootleg CD, "It's that new hit song 'Paralyzer' by Finger Eleven."
"Really?" Odd asked forgetting the muffin that could have been his, "For real?"
"As real as real can be," Sam replied, unbeknownst to them a sinister black smoke was eminatining from her laptop in her backpack it entered the CD's datum pieces and reetched a new melody into the CD, "Show me to the turntable."
"You got it," Odd said.
At ten Sam was all set up and alot of people were already there Nick, Ally, Summer, Odd, and Ulrich were still getting ready, "Are you ready to dance 'till midnight!" The crowd made a superb uproar of euphoria, "Ok were gonna start of with a new hit from Finger Eleven 'Paralyzer'." she started the Playlist on her laptop.
"I hold on
so nervouly to me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so
far, has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward,
as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious
thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark
lit place
Or your place or my place"
A horrible sound wave emitted from the speakers as the chorus was about to chime in. Everyone in the the vicinity who heard it fell to the ground with a dumb grin on their face. Even Summer and Sam and Yumi who was in the crowd fell to the ground. The horrible sound wave ceased and the sinister black smoke emerged from the laptop and went up into the sky.
Ally was in her room getting ready she had blocked the memory of Jeremy cutting himself from her mind. Nick was sitting on her bed reflecting on what happened yesterday. What does this mean? he thought to himself this was insane he was questioning his sexuality. He did love Ally but did a part of him have feelings for Jeremy?
"You ready?" Ally asked him snapping him back into reality.
"Uh... yeah," he said getting up. He looked out the window were he had full view of the dance, "What the fuck?"
"What's wrong?" Ally asked. She herself looked out of the window and saw everyone on the ground, "XANA!" she whipped out her cellphone and dialed 911
"9-1-1 whats your emergency?" a woman answered.
"Yes my name is Allison McLowe. I am a student at Kadic Academy. We need sixty ambulences. No eigty ambulences, wait make that one-hundred and fifty ambulences," Ally told the woman, "I know it sounds crazy, but I'll explain you see the school is having a Dance-a-Thon and all the dancers are lieing, motionless on the ground."
"Okay ma'am the ambulences are coming." Ally hung up, "lets get to the factory."
Once at the factory Ally and Nick found Jeremy working on one of his many varied projects. They told him the situation. Nick avoided his gaze as Jeremy a started a virtualization for the two of them, "Transfer Ally, Scanner Nick, Virtualization."
Odd and Summer were in Odd's room preparing for the dance.
"So Sam's got 'Paralyzer'," Summer asked Odd. The sinister black smoke had entered the loudspeakers.
"I hold on
so nervouly to me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so
far, has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward,
as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious
thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark
lit place
Or your place or my place"
The horrible sound wave emitted from the loudspeakers. Odd fell to the ground with his stupid grin on. Summer stumbled and covered her ears, "What the fuck was that?" she said to herself as she saw Odd, "XANA." She pulled her cellphone out and dialed Jeremy's number.
"Summer," Jeremy began, "XANA is launching an attack."
"I know listen it's that new song 'Paralyzer' by Finger Eleven XANA knocked out Odd, and Ulrich? Well I guess that answers my question. Savanna's probably out cold to and-" 'Paralyzer' was playing again.
"I hold on
so nervouly to me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so
far, has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward,
as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious
thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark
lit place
Or your place or my place"
Summer fell with a ridiculous smile on her face. The sinster black smoke then traveled into her cellphone.
"I hold on

Jeremy fell to the floor with a disturbing grin.
"It's all you princess," Ally said to Aelita as they came to the tower, she ran into the tower.
Yumi, Savanna, Sam, and the other party people arose awkwardly like puppets being controled. Inside Summer, Odd, and Ulrich rose as well. At the factory Jeremy also arose.
Aelita went up the tower. Jeremy went down the ladder into the scanner room. The party people, Yumi, Savanna, Sam, Summer, Odd, and Ulrich arrived at the factory.
Aelita typed her name on the interface. Jeremy went behind one of the three scanners and tugged the wires on it. The party people, Yumi, Savanna, Sam, Summer, Odd, and Ulrich entered the factory.
Aelita entered the code: LYOKO. Jeremy fell to the ground, as well as The party people, Yumi, Savanna, Sam, Summer, Odd, and Ulrich
A familiar white light covered Jeremy, The party people, Yumi, Savanna, Sam, Summer, Odd, and Ulrich.
"Lay down ont he bed," Jeremy gestured towards the bed. Nick did as he was told to do as Jeremy one by one fastened each wire to the appropiate gland(s), "Pituitary," he placed it on the back of Nick's head, "Hypothalamus," he put it just above the first one, "Pineal," he put it next to the hypothalamus wire, " Thyroid," he fastened a thin neckbrace with four tiny openings for the parathyroids, "Parathyroids," he place four small ones in the opening, "Adrenal," he placed two just above each kidney, "Pancreas," he placed a cresent shaped pad with the wires protuding over his liver, "and finally the Testes," Jeremy placed them on., "Alright now just relax."
"Jeremy?" Nick asked.
"Yeah," Jeremy responded.
"I..." Nick tugged him in and they kissed.
