Hey, everyone! And welcome to the 11th chapter! Wooo! Now enjoy! Read! Review! No flames!

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko even though that would be pleasurable.

One evening, in the courtyard, Yumi, Odd, and Zenon, who has a bit of a sad expression on her face, are sitting around, waiting for the rest of their friends to return from a Lyoko mission.

"I wonder if they were able to deactivate the tower." said Odd. "Hopefully...Xana's been getting a bit powerful lately." said Yumi. Just then, they see Jeremy, Aelita, and Ulrich walking towards them.

"Hey, guys! Sorry we couldn't get out of school to help you guys." said Odd. "It's alright. It wouldn't have made a differance to what happened." said Jeremy. " What happened on Lyoko?" asked Yumi. "The tower was seriously gaurded and we couldn't deactivate it...We had no choice other than to destroy the Ice Sector." said Ulrich.

"Oh no..." said Odd. "Yeah...Xana made us fall into another one of his traps. We have to try our best not to let the mountain sector disappear until I finally perfect the virtualization into Sector 5 program." said Jeremy. "How long will that take?" asked Yumi. "Hopefully soon. I'm almost done with it. Just gotta clean out all the bugs." said Jeremy. Zenon then lets out a sad sigh.

"Hm? What's wrong, Zenon? Still upset over breaking up with Brad?" asked Aelita. "Forget about him, Zenon! That guy's a jerk!" said Odd. "I'm not upset about Brad. I could really care less about him. I'm just kinda homesick." said Zenon.

"Yeah. You've been here for a couple of months now. I guess you're kinda missing life on the space station, aren't you?" asked Jeremy. "Yeah. I love it here on earth, but...I kinda miss my home on the station." said Zenon.

"Don't worry. It'll be alright. It's not like you're never gonna be able to go back home and visit." said Ulrich. "Yeah..You're right." said Zenon with a smile, feeling better.

Later that evening, in Zenon's room, Zenon's sitting on her bed, reading, when she gets a phone call.

"Hm? wonder who that could be?" wondered Zenon as she picked up her cellphone.

"Hello?" answered Zenon.

"Zenon, hi! It's mom!" said a woman on the other end.

"Oh, mom! Hey! It's been a while since we've last talked on the phone! How have you been?" asked Zenon.

"I've been great. I've been a little sick lately." said Zenon's mother, before letting out a little cough.

"Really? Are you alright?" asked Zenon.

"Yeah! Don't worry about it! I'm sure it's just a little cold! It'll pass by."

"Oh. Alright then."

"You know your father and I really miss you, Zenon."

"I miss you guys, too."

"But we're very proud of you, Zenon. We've heard from your principal that you're doing very well. Have you made any new friends?"

"Yeah. I've made a couple."

"Met any cute boys that catch your eye?" asked Zenon's mom with a giggle.

"Mom!" said Zenon in an embarassed tone.

"You know I'm just teasing."

"I know..But...I've met two." said Zenon.

"Really? Who are they?"

"Well...The first one I dated for a few weeks and I just recently broke up with." said Zenon.

"Really? Why?" asked Zenon's mom.

"Well, 'cause he was a jerk to one of my friends. And so I didn't think he was worth it, so I broke up with him." said Zenon.

"Oh, I see. Who's the other boy?"

"Well...He's a friend of mine. His name's-" started Zenon, before her mother interupted her.

"Sorry, Zenon. I have to go now. I'll call you later." said Zenon's mom.

"Oh, alright...Bye, Mom. I love you." said Zenon.

"I love you, too, Sweetie." said Zenon's mom before she hung up.

Zenon sighs a bit as she hangs up the phone.

"Sometimes I wish...I could just go back home..." said Zenon, looking up at her cieling.

The next afternoon, Yumi is walking through the campus.

"Man, I thought school would never end! I wonder where the others are." said Yumi as she kept walking. Just then, Yumi spots Zenon sitting near the vending machines, looking a bit sad. Yumi walks over to Zenon and talks to her.

"Hey, Zenon. What's wrong?" asked Yumi. "Hm? Oh. Nothing..I was just thinking." said Zenon. "About what?" asked Yumi. "Well..You know how I've been feeling a bit homesick lately? Well...I've been thinking about leaving Kadic and going back to the station." said Zenon. "Oh. I see. I can't say I don't know how you feel. I've felt the same way before." said Yumi.

"Really? You have?" asked Zenon. "Mhm. I used to live in Japan a few years ago before I moved here with my family. After a while, I started to miss all my friends back home and begged my parents to send me back to Japan." said Yumi.

"Oh. Do you still feel the same way?" asked Zenon. "Not really anymore. After making friends with Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, and Odd, I felt better about moving here." said Yumi with a smile. "Really? Why?" asked Zenon.

"Because, they're really wonderful...I mean...There's Jeremy. He may be a workaholic sometimes, but he's really fun to be around and he's always there to help his friends." said Yumi. "I know what you mean. Jeremy's always been like that. He helped me become less embarassed to be seen after I got my new braces." said Zenon. "And there's Aelita. She's really great to talk to. Especially since we materialized her on earth. Before then, I was the only girl in the group." said Yumi.

"You're right. Aelita's great to talk to." said Zenon. "And there's Ulrich.." said Yumi, smiling. "Yeah, Ulrich...The guy you're obviously crazy about.." said Zenon with a smirk.

"Wh-What? N-No! We're just friends and that's all!" said Yumi with a light blush, looking to the side. "Right.." said Zenon with a smirk.

"And there's also Odd. His jokes may suck..big time..But he always wants to make sure his friends are always smiling." said Yumi.

"Yeah...Odd does have a good heart...He's so nice and sweet. Whenever he tells a joke, even if it's not funny, I can't help but laugh. I find it so cute that he's always trying to make someone laugh." said Zenon with a smile.

"Hm...Sounds like you have a crush on Odd.." said Yumi with a smirk. "Wh-what? What are you talking about? I like Odd! But I don't like like Odd!" said Zenon with a blush. "Are you sure? Your face is red..." said Yumi.

"Er...Well..I suppose I do like Odd..JUST a little!...I don't think I have a full blown out crush on him!" said Zenon. "Right..." said Yumi with a smirk.

"But anyway, I really am considering transfering back to the school on the station.." said Zenon. "Well I suppose you could do that. I know we're all gonna miss you, though." said Yumi.

"Really? You guys'll miss me?" asked Zenon. "Of course! Especially Odd!" said Yumi. "Why Odd?" asked Zenon.

"Isn't it obvious, Zenon? Odd has a major crush on you!" said Yumi. "Well I've already gotten the feeling Odd has a thing for me, but I don't know if I would call it major." said Zenon. "Well I've known Odd for quite a long time to tell when he really likes a girl. Remember the time when they were serving red velvet cake in the cafeteria? And you and Odd were standing next to each other in the line and there was only one slice of cake left?" asked Yumi.

"Yeah. He gave it to me. I don't think that's a sign of a major crush. He was probably being a gentleman." said Zenon. "Ah ah ah. You don't know Odd that well, Zenon. Red velvet cake is his favorite dessert!" said Yumi.

"I thought everything was his favorite dessert." said Zenon with a smirk. "That's true. But red velvet cake is his absolute, all time favorite. And we all know Odd doesn't like losing food. The time they had red velvet cake before this last time, Odd had this crush on a girl named Nicole. He and he were in the line and there was only one slice of the cake left. Odd, being the greedy pig we all know and love, took the cake for himself and didn't offer to give it to Nicole." said Yumi.

"Wow...Maybe you do have a point.." said Zenon. "Mhm. Odd's a really great guy." said Yumi. "Yeah..To tell you the truth, Odd's kinda the reason why I'm not really sure if I wanna leave Kadic. He's just so fun to be around. And if I leave, I'll really miss him." said Zenon.

"Hm..Are you sure you don't have a crush on Odd?" asked Yumi with another smirk. "I dont!" said Zenon with another blush.

Later that evening, in Zenon's room, Zenon dials a few number on her phone.

Ring..Ring..Ring..

"Hello?" answered a male voice.

"Hi, Dad!" said Zenon.

"Oh, Zenon! How are you?" asked Zenon's father.

"I'm good. Where's mom?" asked Zenon.

"Oh...Well, Zenon...Your mom's really sick. She came down with a serious flu...She's been bedridden since late last night..."

"Oh no...Is she gonna be alright?"

"I...I really don't know, Zenon...I don't know if she'll be able to make it..." said Zenon's father, in a low, sad tone.

"Oh my god..."

"I'll make sure all the medics'll here will do everything they can to help her..But..I don't know who's gonna tend to her...I've got to work..And..there's noone else..." said Zenon's father.

There is silence for a few moments.

"Dad...I've got an idea.." said Zenon.

"What is it?" asked Zenon's father.
