I DO NOT OWN CODE LYOKO!

Well supper was in sight. I was walking towards the cafeteria when I ran into someone. He fell over and I stumbled. "Sorry." I reached out to help him up.

The boy looked up at me. His glasses had almost fallen off. Plus he looked freaked out and nervous. "I-It's fine. Y-You can l-leave me b-be." he stuttered.

I blinked and shook my head. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "I can't leave you on the ground."

He gasped when I pulled him up like nothing. He looked as skinny as Jeremie, just as weak too. But there was something familiar about his eyes. I shrugged it off and sighed.

"I'm Athena," I said.

"Drew," he said quietly.

I nodded. "Nice to meet you." I saw something out of the corner of my eye. A girl had just appeared, literally appeared, close by. She had curly black hair and robin-egg blue eyes. She was looking straight at me.

Drew saw her too. "I'll see you later." He walked straight over to the girl.
I nodded. "Alright…" I shrugged and walked to the cafeteria again. When I walked in I got in line and quickly went through. I sat down next to Yumi and Odd. "Where's Ulrich?"

They both shrugged.

I sighed and started eating. I was soon done. Even before Odd. I got up and left. Something was bothering me. I walked up to my room and stopped. The girl was leaning against my door. I blinked. "Can I help you?"

The girl was quiet, just staring at me. It was freaking me out. "What did you do to Drew?" Her voice was as cold as ice.

I blinked. "Nothing. We ran into each other and I helped him up."

The girl frowned. "He can't stop talking about you. What did you say to him?"

I shrugged. "I said my name, and that I couldn't leave him on the ground."

The girl glared at me. "That's it?"

I nodded. "Why?"

The girl turned. "Because I care about him."

I nodded slowly. "And you are?"

The girl started walking away. "Rain." She vanished suddenly.

I jumped. I shivered a little and went into my room. I looked around until I found the CD I needed. I flipped it in my fingers and turned to leave. Something stopped me and I looked out the window. I frowned, but shrugged and left my room.

Soon I was in the sewers. When I got down. I noticed the manhole move above. I looked up, but it didn't move again. I frowned and grabbed a skateboard. I rode through the sewers quickly. When I reached the ladder I stopped and started climbing. When I got to the bridge and I ran for the factory. I jumped and slid down the rope. As I walked to the elevator I turned again. I swear, someone was following me. I shook my head and got in the elevator.

When I got to the computer room, I stepped out. "Jeremie?"

The chair turned and Jeremie faced me. "Hey. Ready to start?"

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah." I walked over and looked at the computer. "Hey Aelita."

Aelita smiled and waved. "Hi Athena."

Jeremie smiled. "So what's this new program?"

I pulled out the CD. "Just load this and launch it while the virtualization process is happening."

Jeremie blinked and took it. "That easy?"

I nodded. "Yeah, but there are a lot of things that could go wrong." I turned to head for the elevator. "And don't get worried if something goes wrong, I'll be fine." I walked up to the elevator opened and I gaped. "What are you doing here!"

In front of me was…Rain and Drew. They were looking around the room.

Drew was gaping. "Wow. That computer looks awesome!"

Rain rolled her eyes. "So what is this place?"

I facepalmed. "You guys shouldn't be here! Why did you follow me?"

Rain looked at me. "Because Drew wouldn't stop saying there was something weird about you. So I suggested we follow you."

I groaned. I looked at Jeremie. He shrugged. I sighed. "I guess you can join us, as long as you tell no one about this place!"

Drew nodded. "You have my word." Rain just nodded.

I sighed. "Alright. Follow me." I turned. "Jeremie, still run the program. But just on me." He nodded.

I got in the elevator with Rain and Drew right behind me.

Rain tapped her foot. "So are you going to explain?"

I sighed and quickly explained Lyoko and XANA.

Drew listened with wide eyes. Rain just closed her eyes and listened. When I finished Drew smiled widely. "That's so cool!" Rain just shrugged indifferently.

When the doors opened we all got into a scanner. They closed and the virtualization process began.

But something was wrong. And it wasn't Athena's program. A red warning showed up on the supercomputer's screen. Jeremie blinked. "Uh oh." He started typing quickly. But it was too late.
