A/N: If you've read this so far, thank you! As I said before I'm trying to get my previous chapters up but then I read through my Chapter 2 of my previous story and decided I wanted to change it up a little bit. If you remember my writing from the beginning I did my best to keep it short, sweet, and to the point, but I personally think my writing has expanded since, or at least I hope it has. There was a lot that seemed to be desired when I began my original fic Odd Falls For X.A.N.A., pretty good explanation of what the story was about when I started it, but now I've changed my title to Sittin' in a Tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, which I thought kind of gave it a new feel. If you'd like to read my original story you are more than welcome to and let me know how it compares! ANYWAY! Please read and review! Everyone needs constructive criticism!

Make sure to take the space out from between fanfiction and .net, strangely they do not allow URLs to go through intact and this old story was written by myself on my OLD account first beginning as ReneeA111 and changed to MaryAllen92…but I cannot recall my login since it has been almost 10 years since I have written anything on fanfiction.
Please enjoy!

Sittin' in a Tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Chapter 2: Mystery Girl, Mystery Plans: Part 1
VZZZ, VZZZ, VZZZ!
VZZZ, VZZZ, VZZZ!
The factory seemed void of all its usual comers as a cell phone vibrated within the scanner room. Whoever was calling was persistent, but the owner of the phone didn't move to pull his phone from their back pocket.
VZZZ, VZZZ, VZZZ!
VZZZ, VZZZ, VZZZ!
The vibrations seemed to echo through the large room, its owner unconscious and curled up in a scanner, senseless of the world and dangers before him. The vibrations faded as the elevator doors opened, "Odd!" Footsteps filled the room as the Lyoko warriors ran to their friend.
"Odd," Ulrich knelt by their blond/purple haired friend, first he checked his pulse before tapping his cheeks lightly, "Wake up!"
Jeremy frowned. "I don't understand… what was he doing here…"
ONE WEEK EARLIER…
Odd had spread himself out on his bed, his dog Kiwi happily curled up on the floor by his feet, chewing on a shoe. Ever since that day they'd saved the world and met 'Dahlia', Odd hadn't been able to pull his mind from the girl. She had turned to him as if expecting more, maybe for him to attack her? He groans, kicking his feet in the air as his arms moved as if they were hitting the air. "What did she want?"
A bark answered him.
He stopped, looking at his dog and sighs, "Kiwi, what do I do? What would she have been doing in Lyoko? You know my name…" His words seemed jumbled, a mess of what had happened and what to do. "You know my name… Did she just mean me personally?"
The door opened, revealing Ulrich with a towel on his head. "Not again," he sighs and takes his shoe from Kiwi before looking at his best friend and roommate. "You only look that way when you're constipated,-
"Hey!"
"What's up?" he asks before tossing his shoe back to the dog.
Odd watched his actions without interest. "It's just, what does she want?"
Instantly Ulrich scrunched his nose up, "Please tell me you're not talking about Sissy." That got a stir from him. Odd sat straight up with a look of disbelief which made him laugh. "Not Sissy, Sam, maybe? Got another crush on some other girl?"
"No!" He drops back on his pillows, "I'm talking about the new one we met, Dahl-"
"Jeremy said he'd look into it, probably another creation for X.A.N.A. to suck us in with another trick." He stood, tossing his towel into his wardrobe, provided by their school, and shrugs. "Who cares? We'll find what ever tower he's activated and move on."
"But the girl-"
"We'll go back to where ever she came from or disappear altogether." He plopped down at his desk, rolling his chair over to look to the math notes he'd been poring over before taking a break, "And we'll move on."
"What if she's stuck like Aelita was?"
He sighs as he scoops up his pencil, making a correction to an equation he'd attempted before, "Then Jeremy will figure it out?" He half remarked, disinterested, and guessed. "He hasn't steered us wrong."
"But what if we make a mistake? What if-"
"Odd." Ulrich chastised as he tossed his pencil aside and swiveled around, "We will find her again. Jeremy and Aelita are searching for her, and they'll find out what it-"
"It?" He bolted up, staring at him with a scowl, a not-so Odd like thing to do, "It? She is a girl! And she let Aelita by, why not give her a chance?"
"Maybe because she wasn't there to hurt us yet?" Ulrich pointed out. "Maybe because all those of X.A.N.A.'s monsters stopped and bowed to her? And did you forget she told us she was the enemy?"
Quiet greeted him before a door slammed, making him jump. A groan escaped as he leaned back in his chair, "Yumi's gonna kill me…" Ulrich grabbed a fresh pair of shoes and looked to Kiwi, "Be quiet, and don't eat anymore shoes!" He ordered the dog who only looked up from his half chewed show to the fresh ones Ulrich pulled on. "I mean it or Odd is…really gonna get it." He lamely finished before shutting the door and locking it behind him to dash after his friend.
…
Odd had walked out with no purpose and any thoughts of where he'd go to hide out for a little while. His mind was muddled, jumbled with the image of a helpless girl, possibly under the control of X.A.N.A. who continued to invade his thoughts. His friend's words had stung. All he'd wanted was to voice his thoughts and what-if's, but all of it had backfired and forced him to crave the night time air to settle his concerns.
He knew Jeremy would find the newcomer.
He knew Aelita would be helping him.
He also knew that if this girl was in trouble, they'd save her.
His musings took him to the old factory where he sat down at the super computer, and began typing.
…
Ulrich panted as he ran around the school, hiding when he saw Jim standing guard outside the gym. "I thought his patrolling was already done for night!" He cursed in a whisper before going the opposite way. "Odd… where did you go?"
Usually he'd have left his friend alone to cool down but also to let him do as he pleased, after all he knew Odd could handle himself. It was times like these, when X.A.N.A. was causing trouble, where he worried for his friends more. Odd could be a tough cookie, but ever since this girl invaded his thoughts he had his mind on her. He was worrying about her. He was always talking and wondering about her, and Ulrich didn't understand. Sure he was that way with Yumi, but they all knew Yumi, and they all knew she could handle herself. Yea, he'd gone out of his way to protect her a few times, even when his vertigo took over and when they got attacked by a giant teddy bear. Granted Ulrich also knew that those times she may have needed him.
He groaned in frustration, even going as far as gripping his hair. "How did he disappear so fast?"
His cell phone rang, "Odd?" Ulrich answers without looking at the caller ID.
…
The elevator opened and closed when it received its passenger, sliding down gracefully to the scanner room where afterwards it departed. Odd entered the one and only prepared scanner before stepping in. "Begin Virtualization process." He uttered loud enough for the computer to hear him.
A set of gears clicked into place and the computer began a process to send Odd into Lyoko. "Virtualization, Odd." Spoke a computer animated voice. A flash of light beamed through the closed scanner. It opened, now empty with Odd having departed inside to Lyoko.
A/N: I hope you liked chapter two! It's a bit different from the original fic but I wanted to add in a few things. R&R! Night everyone!
