"How do you know Odd?" Ulrich challenged.
"He was the only friend I had in elementary school."
"Odds never mentioned you."
"I can understand why not." She looked depressed so Ulrich left it at that for the day.
Later that day Ulrich was able to talk to Odd on his cell phone.
"Hey, Odd, Listen I need to ask you something."
"Okay. Ask away."
"Have you even known anyone named Emily Smith?"
"No." Odd said slowly his voice a bit quieter. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, she says she knows you. She says you were friends in elementary school."
"I remember girls and I don't recognize that name."
Okay, how's Yumi?"
"She misses you, we all do. She's uh…been hanging out with uh… William. … we all have."
"What do you mean."
"We needed someone else to help fight on Lyoko. Uh, uh Jims coming gotta get to class. Bye."
"Yeah, bye, Odd."
It hurt to be replaced and by William. Ulrich got up and went to the soccer field Emily was already there practicing. She was good."
"Hey, Ulrich wanna' play?" She called out.
"Sure." Ulrich felt a little better after making a few goals.
"Ulrich, what's wrong?" Emily asked.
"My friends replaced me with a guy I couldn't care less about." Ulrich sighed.
"Well, it is their choice."
"I know that's what hurts the most. Odd said he doesn't remember you and you can trust him to remember a girl."
"I didn't think he would." Emily didn't look surprised that Odd hadn't remembered her.
"I haven't had a friend since him."
"What about me?"
"You consider me a friend?" Emily smiled brightly.
"Yep, I sure do."
"I haven't had a friend since Brookland." Emily looked surprised at what she had just said. "Forget I said that."
Emily looked disturbed so Ulrich kept quiet.
Later that day Ulrich scanned the computer and typed in the town Brookland. The result came up.
"What?"
