Naturally when Odd woke up, he was so tired that he opened his phone, hit snooze on the alarm, and fell back asleep. The alarm went off again 10 minutes later. "Damn thing" He muttered, now fully awake. Odd turned off the Alarm and looked down at Mira. He saw a single tear fall down her face. The little drop of water pained him greatly.

"Mira, wake up." He shook her shoulders. "Come on, you have to get up" He said louder. Mira woke up with a start, eyes wide. "Ah. . . sorry. I guess I fell asleep." She said sheepishly. Odd's voice softened as he wiped the tear off her face. "Did you have another bad dream."

Mira nodded. "I wish I could open my eyes for once without any fear." Odd gave her a hug. "You will, don't worry. It just takes time." She smiled at his words, starting to feel a bit better.

"Um Odd, what time is it?" She asked. Odd pulled out his phone. "5:50 why?"

"Isn't dinner in ten minutes?" The gears in Odds head were rusted, but started turning. Dinner was at 6:00, It was 5:50, he was a 15 minute walk away from the school... "Shit!" Odd cried, pulling Mira to her feet. He took off running down the path, Mira's hand in his. Mira couldn't help but laugh at Odd's enthusiasm towards food, even if it included her being dragged through the forest. "Odd slow down!" She yelled.

"Are you kidding! If I get there late I might only be able to get two servings!" He cried. Soon they past the sewer and the school was in sight. They had temporarily forgotten the kiss before in Mira's mind and Odd's stomach.

Odd slammed the door opened to the dinning hall gaining the attention of everyone in the room. He didn't realize that he was still holding onto Mira's hand, even while he marched himself and her over to the lunch line.

"Odd m-my hand"

Mira's face was tinted pink. He looked down and saw that he was in fact still holding her hand. He laughed and released it.

"Rosa! Looking as beautiful as ever." Odd started. The lunch lady rolled her eye. "You get two servings, that's it!" She snapped. Odd frowned when the mountain of spaghetti was put on his plate since it wasn't as big as he hoped. "You on the other hand could use some meat on those bones." Rosa pointed to Mira. "Oh umm, half a servings fine." she whispered. Rosa ignored her and put the full amount on her tray. "I'll be watching to make sure you eat all of that." she warned. Mira gulped. "Y-yes M'am.

She took her seat next to Ulrich and across from Odd. "What were you talking about that caused Odd to be late for dinner? He's usually the first one here." Ulrich joked. "Oh uhh n-nothing really! Odd just w-wanted to t-talk to me about m-my nightmares and that other problem. B-but everything is fine! I j-just ended up f-falling asleep b-because I was tired and I g-guess Odd did to." Mira said all to quickly. Odd was to busy eating to notice, but the others gave her a look. "Well It's good to hear your getting better." Aelita finally said.

Mira sighed with relief. They had believed her! At least, she thought they did. Ulrich already planned to question his roommate about the "Walk" later. Mira stared down at her portion of food which had suddenly started looking as big as Odd's before he was devouring it.

She took her first bite of spaghetti. Already she knew that there was no was she was going to finish her entire meal.

Halfway through she leaned back and sighed. As Mira had suspected, she couldn't eat more then half a serving. That must have been one for her though right? Stupid spaghetti! She glared at it evilly, wishing it didn't exist. Maybe she could sneak it into her sweatshirt pocket and feed it to Angel later.

"Mira, why are you staring at your spaghetti like X.A.N.A's going to possess it at any moment?" Jeremy asked. Mira stiffened. Was she really glaring at it like that? "If you don't want it, I'll take it!" Odd exclaimed, already reaching for his plate. Over his shoulder she saw Rosa giving her a look. It was an you-let-Odd-eat-your-food-and-you-will-have-to-help-me-wash-the-dishes-for-a-week-young-lady look.

"Uh I'll finish it!" She said a bit to loudly, yanking her tray from Odd's reach. He grumbled but started working on one of his own croissants. Mira forced herself to take another few bites. By now everyone was finished but her.

She finished off the last bite slowly. It felt like her stomach would burst at any moment. She forced herself to swallow it. Once she did, she fist pumped in the air. "I did it!" She practically yelled. Only a few other students were in the lunch room besides her and her friends, and not one set of eyes failed to look at her.

"S-sorry" she squeaked. Mira grabbed her tray and darted for the door. "Good job Mira! I'll be seeing you tomorrow at breakfast!" Rosa called after her gleefully. Mira had moved about three feet out the door before stopping to lean against the cement wall. Her stomach didn't like the idea of running.

"What was that all about squirt?" Ulrich asked. The others filed out behind him. "Rosa was making me eat my entire dinner, which is why I couldn't given it to Odd. I would have been more then happy too." She groaned out.

"Something wrong?" Jeremy asked, clearly amused by the entire situation. "My stomach doesn't like the thought of moving." Mira complained.

"How could you have a stomach ache after hardly eating anything!" Odd asked suprised. "Odd, some of us have normal stomachs." Aelita answered. Everyone but Mira and Odd laughed. Mira because she was trying to keep her dinner down and Odd because he was offended.

"Please don't say food, eating, or stomach for about the next ten years." Mira begged. Everyone was sent into another round of laughter, including Odd. "Alright squirt let's get you off the ground." Ulrich grabbed her shoulders and hauled her off the grown. She groaned in protest.

"Just leave me here to die. I don't feel like moving."

"Come on it's only a few stairs." Aelita pointed out. "You just made it worse!" She cried. Odd sighed. "Alright, looks like we're doing things the hard way again. Ulrich, grab her feet." Ulrich grabbed her ankles while Odd got wrists, careful not to apply to much pressure. Together, they lifted her off the ground.

That's how they went up the stairs. Ulrich and Odd carried her the entire way up, Jeremy and Aelita following behind not bothering to hide their laughter. Mira closed her eyes, to afraid to even talk in fear that her dinner would come back up in a rather unappetizing manor.

Jeremy opened her door and moved out of the way so the other two guys could get her in the room. Once they did, they tossed Mira lightly onto the bed. Angel jumped up next to her, excited that Mira was home. As far as Angel knew, this was home.

"Hi Angel." She greeted her dog. Jeremy made sure the door was closed so Jim wouldn't come in and find the dog. "Odd, can you feed Angel please?" Mira asked. Odd nodded, grabbing the dog food from the cabinet and putting some in a bowl. Angel jumped down in excitement, launching herself off of Mira's stomach in the process.

"Ouch! Angel! That hurt!" She complained as if the dog could actually understand her. Her friends were sent into another fit of giggles.

"Well, I should go finish up a soundtrack I was working on. See you later guys." Aelita waved, heading out of the room.

"And I'm gonna work some more with the information you gathered today in sector five. See you tomorrow." Jeremy said, following Aelita out the door.

"I'd better feed Kiwi as well. Come on Ulrich let's go."

"I swear Odd if Kiwi peed on my bed, your dead." Ulrich responded, following his friend out of the room. "Thanks for carrying to me up here!" Mira yelled as they left. Once the door closed, she sighed in relief.

She took a water bottle and filled up Angel's water dish. That little dog had a huge bladder. Once she was sure her dog was set, Mira changed out of her cloths and put on an oversized t-shirt she stole from one of her brothers. It fit her like a dress.

Mira got into bed. "Come 'ere Angel." She called softly. Angel crawled up the bed and snuggled against her master. Angel really loved Mira, even if she was locked up in the room alone all the time.

"Night girl." She whispered. Angel licked her face in response.
