~ I'm thinking about making the chapters sort of shorter than I normally do (even though I wanted to make the chapters for this story longer than I normally do). That way I can update quicker and sort of make this story last longer. I want to have each chapter sort of based from certain episodes from the show, but if I split them up... then each episode I want to write will be split into two chapters.

TheInsaneChick: I originally going to have Amanda tell Odd that she likes him, but when you said your idea about Ghost Channel and the date... I decided to change it.

~ Please help me come up with nicknames that the others can call Amanda and a couple name for Odd and Amanda.

~ This chapter might be a bit smaller, but hopefully you'll like it anyway. I tried to combine TheInsaneChick's idea for the chapter with my original idea for the chapter...you'll see more of it in the next chapter (:

ENJOY!


Amanda's POV

I was flying in the Ice Sector while I helped the others fight against blocks. It was a normal fight, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi and I fought while Aleita hid until it was safe. All of us, except for Aleita, were pretty low on life points.
"Come on Odd, try and hit your target." I shouted from the sky as I aimed at a block.
"That's easy for you to say." He shouted as he dodged a shot from one of the blocks. "You can't miss from up there."
"You're just jealous you can't fly." I said before landing and continuing the fight on the ground. I was able to get a few blocks before getting cornered by three blocks.
"Hold on Amanda." I heard Ulrich yell as I aimed at the block in front of me. I shot at it just before getting shot in the back and being devirtulized.


The scanner door opened in front of me and I let out a sigh. I couldn't really remember the last time I was devirturized. 'Crap' I thought because I felt like I could have taken care of the blocks that were around me. As I walked into the elevator to join Jeremy at the supercomputer, I put my hair in a ponytail. It was something I almost always did if I got devitalized because I always kept a hair tie on my wrist.

When the elevator doors opened, I walked up to Jeremy and stood by his side so I could look at the screen. It looked like Odd, Yumi, and Ulrich got the number of the blocks down.
"Odd, there are two more blocks behind you." I said into Jeremy's headset to Odd.
"No sweat. Be back in a second Aleita." I watched the two blocks disappear from the screen, which made me slightly smile because he got them. "Yeah! He's amazing, the crowd is going wild." I internally smiled, but didn't say anything as I continued to look at the screen to make sure XANA wasn't going to do a surprise attack.
"Odd, cut it out will you? There's a third block." Jeremy said before Odd got shot and the Block was destroyed by Yumi.
"You gotta be a little more careful Odd." I said because I saw how low on life points he was. On the screen, I noticed one more block going towards them. I could tell Odd was going towards it so he could destroy it.
"Odd, you lost too many life points." Jeremy said and I took a deep breath. If Odd got hit, he would come back and it was the only monster there. Yumi and Ulrich could easily take care of it. "Odd, what are you doing? Take cover. It's too risky. Odd, one impact and it's game over. You only have 10 life points, that's all." I rolled my eyes at Jeremy. Although he was a good friend, there was times when he could be really bossy...especially when it came to Lyoko.
"10's more than enough." Odd and I said at the same time.
"Here we go." Odd said before going towards the Block and destroying it.
"Congratulations." Alieta said and I was glad when I saw the block had disappeared from the screen. 'Good job' I thought.
"Hey Jeremy, next time enjoy the show and let the real pros get the job done, okay?" Odd said and if he was next to me, I would have given him a playful slap.
"I'll go and take care of the tower." Aleita said and I couldn't help but picture Chloe when she would deactivate towers once and a while.
"Hey, take it easy... I was just kidding." Odd said and I was guessing he was saying it to Yumi and Ulrich. "I didn't mean it. Hey, Einstein you hear me? It was a joke." I knew it was a joke, but I wasn't going to say anything until I saw Odd after the return to the past.
"Return to the past now." Jeremy said before pressing the button that activated the return to the past.


After the return to the past, I took a shower like normal but when I got back to my room I felt like something was wrong. I shook it off because it was more than likely because of the return to the past. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror. My hairstyle had been straight for the past couple of days.. which made me want to change it. I took my curling iron and curled my bangs just enough to make my hair look different. When I was happy with how it looked, I quickly took a light blue tank top and black jean shorts from my closet. It was a dresser and closet combined, which was in every student room, but I considered it just a closet.

When I had my clothes on, I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked at my reflection and before I realized I was putting on some makeup. I didn't wear it that often, but my mind was telling me to look nice. 'It probably won't happen' I thought to myself because I could tell what my mind was trying to tell me. 'I should get to breakfast' I thought before leaving my room.


I was in the line for breakfast, when I realized that something was wrong. You could usually hear Odd talking over everyone, even from the line. I took a few steps away from the food line and looked around the room. Odd and the others were no where in sight. Jeremy's absence would more than likely be explained by him staying in his room while working on his computer. Yumi's would be that she was probably having breakfast with her family. Odd and Ulrich always came to breakfast, which made it strange that they weren't already sitting at the table. Odd wouldn't miss any meal... unless something happened to him. 'What happened?' I asked myself as I walked towards the normal table and sat down. 'After I eat breakfast, I'll find out what happened.' I thought. If I had an empty stomach, it would just distract me.


~ The only reason I ended up splitting this episode into two parts was so I could update. It's not that much of a chapter, but hopefully with what I have planned for the next part of GHOST CHANNEL, it will make up for how short this chapter is (: Some of the stuff in the next chapter sort of starts with what I want to have in season 5 (the live action events).
~ There is (hopefully) going to be an Amanda/XANA fight... and some Amanda/Odd moments as well (:

~ I'm trying to keep Odd in character, but I know there will be times when he seems OOC (Out Of Character). Hopefully no one will mind (:
~ I'm still trying to think of a couple name for Amanda/Odd and what Amanda's nick-name could be.

~ I'm not going to update until there is at least 3 helpful reviews on this chapter. If there isn't, XANA will attack the world and make it impossible for anyone to read fanfictions... don't let XANA win!
~ I hate having to ask for reviews because it only takes a few seconds to leave a review and I've ended stories because they don't get a lot of reviews. I REALLY DON'T WANT to do that with this story because of everything I have planned. That means share this with everyone and anyone that will read and review this so it will not end early.

R&R 'till the next update
