Chapter 7: First Practice
The gang dropped Laura off at the infirmary, and then headed to their rooms to get ready to go to the pool. While they were getting their swimwear, Xana realized she had nothing to use. Aelita smirked and handed her sister a black bathing suit with the sign of X.A.N.A. on the chest. Xana smiled and kindly took it.
When the gang reached the pool, they got ready within 10 minutes. The other students, except Laura, practiced synchronized swimming. "You know what I think, guys? This is as about as graceful as tractor pulling." Chris said telepathically, earning a chuckle from the others.
When Jim looked at Yumi and told her it was her turn, she was much more graceful than Jim.
When gym class was over, the gang went their separate ways. Aelita and Chris went with Ulrich and Yumi to their final class of the day, Science.
While Mrs. Hertz was talking, the four friends were stoked for their first practice. "I can't wait!" Aelita squealed telepathically. "That's great, baby, but try not to damage our eardrums, please."Chris said. "Sorry." She said.
Science went by fast and the four bandmates shot out of the classroom like a rocket and made it to the auditorium when the others arrived as well.
"Okay, y'all. Who's ready?" Chris said in a country accent, which made Aelita giggle.
"I love it when you do that." She said.
After that was done, everyone was getting everything set up.
"Okay. Sound system's hooked up." Jeremie said.
"Instruments are set up, too." Xana said.
After everything was set up, the six band members got into position.
"Okay. Yumi, you sing the beginning verse, I'll take the chorus, Aelita, you take the second verse, and then the three of us will take the bridge. Then I'll finish the song." Chris said, earning nods from the girls.
Ulrich started playing his keyboard, and then Odd started playing his guitar, then William started playing his drums. And then, the three singers got ready.
[Yumi]
There is a world, that is virtual and different.
It can be so cold. It makes us stand up for what's right.
A hope to a life, if we reset it to the start!
[Chris]
Here we are, going far, to save all that we love;
If we give all we've got, we will make it through.
Here we are, like a star, shining bright on your world;
Today, make Evil go away!
Code Lyoko, we'll reset it all.
Code Lyoko, be there when you call!
Code Lyoko, we will stand real tall.
Code Lyoko, stronger after all!
[Aelita]
A world of machines, it can shadow human nature.
And all that we need, is the way to find the answer.
And one thing is sure, you can count on us for good!
[Chris]

[Yumi, Aelita, and Chris]
We'll do our best, to never let you down.
We're up to the test, to turn this world around!

Ulrich finished up the song on his keyboard, and when he was done, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, y'all. Couple more times, and we'll be ready to perform." Chris said, earning agreements from the others.
When they were done with practice, they went to dinner, except Ulrich and Yumi, who went home for dinner.
When they sat down, the four band members smiled the whole time.
"Wow. I forgot how much fun that was." Chris said, earning a nod from his girlfriend.
"I know. It felt great standing behind the mic again." Aelita said.
"Yeah. I loved being behind those drums again." William said.
After dinner was done, the gang all went to their rooms and fell asleep.
That's chapter seven. I don't own the Code Lyoko theme song. Next chapter will have a X.A.N.A. attack. Review and I'll post more chapters.
