A/N:
There is a Love Story and an Attack mixed, just so you you find out part of Scarlet's secret in this... Does anyone know what the title is? Keep reviewing!
"Alright it's Sunday! No classes!" Odd yelled with a mouthful of a banana. " Ew Odd chew, swallow, then talk." Scarlet said. "Hey I'm going to get more napkins, Don't Touch My Food." Scarlet got up and left to the front of the cafeteria. "So guys how did you explain to her?" Jeremy asked. "We told her it was Odd's dream, she slapped him and then worked on her Italian home work." "That was a close one guys, if she figured it out,"
"She won't figure it out. But I think there's a connection between me and her." Aelita said.
"Aelita we all know that you two are best friends, what other connection is there?" Yumi asked.
" I feel like I've known her before, when I was little. And on Lyoko." "Who are you talking about?" Scarlet came up behind Aelita, scaring the lights out of her. "Charlie! Don't scare people!"
"Says my big brother, the one who used to fake fight me and get hurt by it. You always scared me Ulrich!" Ulrich blushed. "Why does Ulrich call you Charlie? And Charlotte? Isn't your name Scarlet?" Odd asked. "Umm Odd can I talk to you for a bit?" "Wait Ulrich." Odd watched Scarlet's face. She had zoned out, and now her eyes were filling up with tears. Memories flooded her mind, of back home. Her mom and dad, friends, her Japanese dog Ami. Tears streamed down her face, she got up and ran towards the dorms. "Scarlet!" Aelita and Yumi ran after her.
"Ok Odd we need to talk, about Scarlet." Jeremy opens his laptop thinking about what Aelita said. If she saw her before, could they have a connection with Lyoko? Aelita obviously, but Scarlet? Ulrich would have known unless.. Jeremy starts a search on his laptop, looking to see if there was any data about Scarlet. Ulrich and Odd were still talking. "So she changed her name to try to forget those memories. Only her other family members call her Charlie." "Oh no then I have to apologize!" Odd runs out to the dorms. *sighh* "What are you doing Einstein?" "I'm running a search for Scarlet. Did you ever hear about her leaving the house a lot?" "Well yes, she goes to her friends houses a lot."
Creekk Odd opens the door to find a crying Scarlet and Aelita and Yumi comforting her. "Hey guys can you leave for a sec? I want to talk to her alone." The girls nod then leave the room. "Hey babe." Odd puts an arm around Scarlet. "Stop trying to flirt with me." "Scarlet I wanted to say sorry. I didn't know about your parents." "It's ok Odd, I, I don't wanna talk about it."
"It's ok, Ulrich told me that when you're upset you sing. Can I listen?" Scarlet nodded and started to hum. " We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the flash back stArts, I'm standing there. On a balcony in summer air. I see the lights the party the ball gowns, see you make your way through the crOwd to say hello. Little did I know.."
Xana Is watching Scarlet and Odd. He listens to the parts in the song about Romeo and Juliet. On Scarlet's bed is her English book, turned to the page about Romeo and Juliet. He gets an idea. Activating a tower, he makes the room ripple. Scarlet stops singing, for she feels nauseous and looks around her. "Huh? What the heck happened here?" Around her the room had transformed. It looked all old-timely as if the had went back in time to the Shakespeare days. "And what am I wearing?! Well it is sorta cute." Scarlet twirled around, the ball gown she was wearing swept around her. She put her hands up to her hair and felt the gentle curls falling by her face. The curly bun the rest of her hair was put up in. Spotting a mirror, Scarlet goes up to it and touches her face. "This is not me. I look..older and, well, fully figured." "Odd? Odd where are you?! ODD!" Scarlet feels cold hands placed on her shoulders. She shudders as the person slowly kisses her neck. "Odd?" She turns around and sees Odd's handsome face, all grown up. They lean in, lips almost touching each others. SLAM! The door to the bedroom burst open with a quite tensed person standing there. Odd and Scarlet pull away quickly, blushing. "Oh your Highness, Your father has summoned you and your groom to his bedroom. I am very sorry for um, interrupting you both." The man closed the door leaving the two very confused. "Um Odd?"
"Hmm."
"I think we are in the Romeo and Juliet story."
"That explains these outfits, but you look gorgeous."
Scarlet blushes a beautiful scarlet color. "Wait, didn't the guy call me 'Your Highness'? That explains! Look at our faces Odd. They changed but it still gives off a hint our original faces. And we are dressed like this so that means..."
(both at same time) "We are Romeo and Juliet!" "Noooo!" Scarlet wailed. " Romeo and Juliet do suicide at the end! We can't do that, but we also can't change history! Ah darn it!" "Actually Scarlet, in school we used to do a couple of plays about these two. So I know everything that's going to happen. Maybe." Man it's a Xana Attack! But there wasn't any phones back here, and even if, we can't call Jeremy and tell him that it is! Oh please guys, deactivate the tower soon.
In the real world, Jeremy cries out in anger. "No so close! Why does Xana have to attack now?! I was almost done searching the super computer!" Ulrich looks up. "Wait, then what's the attack? Let me go get Odd and Scarlet, God knows what those two could be doing." Ulrich gets up and jogs over to Scarlet's dorm. He peeks inside but sees no one. He walks over to Scarlet's History book and shuts it. He leaves for his dorm hoping those two weren't doing things again. "Huh, they both aren't here either. And here's Odd's phone and I think Charlie's was on her bed. Odd probably took her out for ice cream or something...Or Xana could be focusing his attack on them, crap!" Ulrich ran all the down stairs to the cafeteria where Jeremy was packing his things and Aelita helping him. "Jeremy I'll be at the factory, hurry up." Ulrich made his getaway. "He seems more concerned then usual, do you think the attack has to do with Charlotte and Odd...again..?"
"I don't know Aelita, but let's hurry, they could be in trouble." The couple took off towards the wood's sewer entrance. They went as fast as they can on their scooters because they knew Ulrich must be having a bad time right about now. They dropped their scooters next to Ulrich's skateboard and started to climb up the ladder out of the sewers. They ran down the pathway and swung down from the ropes. Into the elevator, punching the code. Dropping Aelita in the scanner room where Ulrich was waiting then heading to the control room. "Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Aelita, Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Aelita, Virtualisation. "Ok guys the Tower is in the south part of the Ice Sector.." "Just send us the over bike Jeremy! The Overwing is too slow."Ok Ulrich what ever you say.."
"Umm Yes Father?" Scarlet opened the door to her 'Father's' bedroom. "Come in side Juliet, and bring Romeo with you." Scarlet motioned Odd to follow her inside. "Romeo, do you truly love my daughter?" "Uh, Yes. Yes I do sir." "Juliet, do you love him?" "Yes father." Scarlet and Odd started to blush red. "Romeo will you take care of Juliet, and bear her child?" Hearing this, Odd and Scarlet instantly turned red. They looked at each other, with the actual Romeo and Juliet thoughts and feelings flowing inside their brains, corrupting them, influencing them. "Yes sir, I would." The king looked at his daughter. "Yes father I trust him and will bear a child with him." "Ok, I trust you Romeo, treat my daughter well, or you will suffer. I agree to your marriage with him." This had done it. Odd and Scarlet got completely taken over by the real Romeo and Juliet. "Thank you Father/Sir!" Odd and Scarlet or should I say now, Romeo and Juliet, ran out hand in hand over to Juliet's bedroom. They told the guards not to bother them at all. They habit the door and Romeo took Juliet and threw her onto the bed. He gently kissed her up her neck leaving hickies and started to kiss her on the mouth. They both locked lips till they ran out of breath. Romeo started to unzip Juliet's dress in the back. "I promise I'll make sure this doesn't hurt too much..."
Yumi sat on her cot. They haven't called. They're in trouble. Definatly. "MOOOMMMM! I'm going out!" Yumi ran all the way to the Factory and swung down the rope. Punching in the code, the elevator doors shut and she went down. "Oh Yumi you're here! Hurry Ulrich and Aelita could use some help. Instead of replying, Yumi just brought the elevator down to the scanner room. She stepped into one of the scanners. She could hear Jeremy's voice say "Transfer Yumi. Scanner Yumi. Virtualization." Yumi was in the south west part of the Ice Secter. Hopping onto the OverWing which had just been virtualized by Jeremy, Yumi sped off in the direction of Ulrich and Aelita.
