Episode 77 Odd's Date With Sam

"Oh no." Odd ran to the spot he was supposed to meet Sam at. "I hope I'm not late." He looked at his watch. "Hey I'm early!" He stood there and waited for Sam.

"Hey sorry I took so long but I wasn't expecting you to actually be on time." Sam said laughing a little.

"I am trying to make up for all the times I screwed up with you in the past. Can't I try to do that?" He asked shrugging his shoulders.

"That's sweet. So where are you taking me?" She asked curiously.

"Where ever you want to go." He said spreading his arms.

"Wow you really are trying to make up for the past." She giggled.

"Exactly, I'm a changed man." He said with a grin on his face as he put his thumb up to his face.

"Ok then. Lets go see a movie. I get to pick right?" She asked knowing what his answer should be and would be.

"Yeah you sure do. Hehehe." He said laughing nervously knowing she was planning on torturing him.

She ordered him to take her to a completely non-violent, non-horror, romantic chic flic. He almost left but he tried to stay in for the whole movie. "Wow Odd I am impressed."

"Why is that?"

"Cuz you are actually watching the movie."

"Of course. I wouldn't leave in the middle of a movie." He smiled but inside he wanted to leave.

She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "A reward for staying for so long."

Odd was about to yell out in happiness but he found that he wasn't actually happy. There was something different. He tried to stop thinking about it but found it nearly impossible to. Maybe I should see how Sissy is doing. He tried not to think about it but he couldn't stop it. "When this movie gets over I won't be around you as much. I have some family problems to attend to back home."

"Why didn't you say that earlier? I wouldn't have tortured you so much." Sam smiled at him. She started to signal with her hand for him to go.

"Thank you Sam. I will call you later."

"Don't worry about it. Just do whatever it is you need to do."

"I will." He ran back and gave her a kiss. "I won't forget you." As he ran out he was thinking only one thing. I won't forget you, I have family problems to attend to, what a bunch of lies. He looked around. But at least it got me out of there. He went down to the computer part of the Factory. "Hey guys."

Sissy stood up and gave him a hug. She automatically slapped him across the face. Everyone else started laughing.

"So date not go well?" Kurt asked.

"Date got interupted. I left because I couldn't stop worrying about someone else." Little did Odd know that as he was explaining it Sam was listening in secretly in the elevator. She started to cry.

I thought he liked me. She took the elevator up and left the factory.

"Who were you thinking about Odd?" Sissy asked with her hands behind her back.

"Yeah who did you think about that interupted the date? Was it anyone we know?" Kurt said turning and lacing his fingers together.

"Kinda." He walked up to Kurt and whispered it in his ear. "But don't tell anyone, you got that?"

"Sure. I got that." Kurt said with a smile.

"So when is William gonna be here?" Yumi said as she looked at her cell.

"I don't know. He said he would be here soon. It has been over an hour." Kurt said looking at the call log.

"I remember now. He was at his Dad's house. It is pretty far away. That could be what is taking him so long." Yumi said as she looked down. "He might not be here until tomorrow."

"Well for our sake he better be back some time today. We could really use the help." Kurt said looking at his watch.

"I miss Ulrich." Odd said. "Sure it has only been a couple of days since he quit but still. It is my fault that he left. His stuff isn't even in the dorm."

"He was serious when he said he was quitting the gang. He even left the dorm. That is intense." Kurt said as he turned with a smile. He didn't want anyone to see his smile. Everything is as I planned. By giving Odd those Exploding Arrows I knew he would someday cause Ulrich to go crazy and quit the gang. I didn't expect it to happen so soon but then on top of that the Sissy problem was an easy thing to configure. I mean all I had to do was press a few keys I picked up from Sector Five. Thank you XANA. He smiled one last time and then turned around. "I guess we really have no choice. We have to wait for William to get here. I just hope he does it before XANA decides to launch an attack again." Kurt said covering up the betrayal. He turned back and continued to type on the computer while Aelita and Jeremie were in the corner. They were started to get iritated.

"Hey bro do you have any plans for the rest of us while we wait? If not then I would like to take Aelita out on a date instead of standing in this factory." Jeremie stated with his arms folded.

Kurt signaled with his hand. "You two get on out of here. I haven't got anything else planned so go ahead. Have your phones on you just in case I need you."

"Ok. So Aelita do you want to go somewhere with me?"

"Sure. Where do you want to take me?" She asked with a giggle.

"Let's talk about that on the way. Lets go." He smiled, took her by the hand and walked to the elevator.

"I miss that." Yumi said as she hit Odd. "And it is all your fault."

Odd held his arm. "How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"

"Try infinate or until Ulrich comes back. Correction, if Ulrich comes back." Kurt said as he was looking away from them with a smile. Not that he ever will. Not even when their very survival in Lyoko depends on it. Or maybe Yumi will be able to get him to come back after all. He smiled and then turned around and looked at Yumi. "So any idea how much longer it is going to be before William gets back here?"

"Don't look at me. I don't even know if he is going to come back. Think about it. He knows that me and Ulrich are a couple. I don't think he would want to step on Ulrich's toes."

"Hmmm... Great point." Kurt turned back around.

"I just hope that Ulrich comes back eventually." Odd said still holding his arm. "There has to be something that will convince him to come back and re-join. Not only for the rest of the gang's safety but also because I am pretty sure that Yumi just broke a bone in my arm." He laughed about that and Yumi punched him again. "Oww!!!" He was holding the same arm. "That really hurts."

"Well you shouldn't have been laughing about that." Yumi said clenching her fist.

"I got it all ready." Odd said as he got out his phone. "I should probrably call Sam and tell her sorry for the sudden leave."

"Maybe you should. But I wouldn't." Yumi said.

"Why not?"

"Cuz she will be too angry to talk to, think about it. You left her alone at the movies and then you go and call her to tell her you're sorry. You may be sorry but you won't be telling the truth."

"But I am sorry." Odd said confused.

"But you won't be telling her that the real reason you are sorry is that you were thinking about someone else. And if you did decide to tell her then that would be a horrible choice on your part. If you did tell her then she would never go out with you again, let alone talk to you, bonehead." Yumi stated with her finger in the air.

"Well what do you suggest I do Miss Genius?"

"Just ask her to another date and see what happens. Also don't take any risks." Yumi continued to state.

"Ok. So now I can call her?"

"So long as it is to ask her out for another date." They all said with a "duh" tone.

"Ok, ok. I get the picture all ready." He took out his phone. "I'll call her." He dialed Sam's phone number. "Hi Sam."

"Oh hey Odd." She said depressed.

"What's wrong? It sounds like you've been crying."

"Tears of joy." She lied. "That date was the best." She continued to hide her emotions.

"Well I was just wondering if you would like to go out some time soon. I screwed up. It turns out that my family emergancy was a false alarm."

"I don't care. I don't want to go out some time soon. I will call you if I want to go out." She hung up.

Odd had a shocked look on his face.

"How did it go?" Yumi asked.

"I think I just got dumped."

"That's ok." Sissi said. "You still have us."

"Great point. I feel a whole lot better." Odd said sarcastically.
