Sister Dearest

Ulrich could feel the grip Lana had on him tightened as they arrived in the new sector. He really didn't have a problem with the girl but of course she didn't seem to like Odd, who was his best friend so he was a little weary of her. She didn't seem to trust easily.

"I wonder what this place is called," William said as he stepped off of Odd's overboard. Hundreds of different colored flowers surrounded them. Their was even a digital breeze to give the impression of the flowers blowing softly.

"It's called Gardenia," Lana said getting off of Ulrich's bike. She was holding a small pink flower petal in her hand.

"How do you know?" Odd asked, "I thought you said you didn't create this sector."

"I didn't," Lana said letting the small flower petal blow away in the digital breeze, "but I think I know who did."

"Who?" Yumi asked.

"Aelita should know," the wolf girl said turning towards the pink hair girl who had a look of concentration on their face. "Don't think too hard on it," she said softly, placing a hand on Aelita's shoulder, "It'll come to you. Besides, they aren't worth remembering. Let's just find the tower."

"Be careful guys. I still haven't finished working on the program to detect the Seers. You'll have to rely on Lana" Jeremy said.

"That's where you're wrong, Einstein," Lana said, "This isn't my sector so I'm unable to sense the Seers."

"Just great" Odd said sarcastically, "What good are you if you can't even sense invisible monsters?"

"You know, I might agree with you if you had any aim," the wolf girl said.

"Aim?" Odd yelled, "I have perfect aim!"

"Keep dreaming" Lana said pushing past him. "I guess I'll just have to use Lightning Strike, but I won't be able to do it forever. It takes too much life points so you'll have to attack as soon as they appear. So that means you'll actually have to aim and not fire like a random idiot" she said, the last part was directed to Odd.

"Okay guys you heard her. The tower should be straight ahead. Be careful with monsters" Jeremy said.

"I don't think it should be the monsters we should be worrying about" William said pointing to Odd and Lana who were having a staring contest. Odd of course was losing because he couldn't even see her eyes behind her hair but he kept on staring at the area where he guessed her eyes should be.

"Boo" she said, sounding bored, causing the purple cat to blink.

"Aww man! You cheated!" he cried.

"Um, when you two are done acting like little kids we would like to deactivate this tower," Yumi said hands on her hips.

"Whatever," Lana and Odd said at the same time.

Lana got back on the overbike with Ulrich. "We'll ride ahead" he said before speeding off, the others following behind.

"Do it now," he told Lana over his shoulder. She nodded even though she knew he couldn't see her.

"Lightning Strike!" she yelled. The digital sky let out a low rumble before lightning struck the ground. Lana could see nothing within the blue sparks. "So far so good" she said as they continued on. Suddenly the bike flipped over sending Ulrich and Lana crashing to the ground.

"Ow, what happened?" Ulrich asked getting up, but he didn't get an answer. He looked to where he saw Lana had fallen and found her floating in the air, stiff, blue energy going out from her.

"Guys!" Jeremy yelled, "It's a scyphozoa! It's taking data from her!"

"Just great," Ulrich mumbled, "Can't even see it." The samurai was about to jump in the air and slash the monster where he thought it was but was sent back when a laser hit him.

"They have Aelita, too!" Ulrich heard Jeremy say. Out of the corner of his eye, Ulrich could see the others busy trying to get Aelita down from another scyphozoa, but they kept getting attacked by invisible monsters. The boy only had time to gasp in surprise before several more undetected shots were shot at him causing him to materialize back on Earth.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From a nearby tree, a pair of pink eyes watched what was happening below. "I guess I'll have to intervene," an airy voice said, "Solar Blaze".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Solar Blaze" William heard someone say, but he didn't have much time to think as the air above them exploded with bright orange and red fiery balls of lights. Some floated to the ground but others exploded in midair giving a brief outline of Xana's monsters. Now able to tell where the monsters were he swung his large blade at them, destroying them with ease. "Yes" he said happily.

Yumi and Odd were trying to get Lana and Aelita down but the scyphozoas seemed stronger then usual.

"You're not attacking their vulnerable point," a voice said somewhere around them. "Let me try. Ivy Leaves." Spinning green objects were thrown from somewhere, aimed and cutting of the monsters' tentacles. The scyphozoas' shrieked as they dropped their victims.

Lana and Aelita groaned as they hit the ground. Lana got up first and saw the fleeing sycphozoa's thanks to the still falling balls of light. "You're not getting away that easily," she growled, turning her staff into her guitar, "Sonic Wave!" she yelled, running her fingers over the strings. Waves of blue energy, from her guitar, were directed at the monsters. The waves almost hit Odd too, but he quickly moved away. The waves hit the two scyphozoas, destroying them. "That should get Xana angry. If I remember right, creating scyphozoas takes a lot of data, so he shouldn't be sending any out anytime soon."

"Hello!" Odd shouted waving his hand in front of the girl's face "You were talking about my aim? You almost hit me!"

Lana smirked slyly, "Who said I wasn't trying to hit you too?" she asked.

"Aelita. Lana. Are you two okay?" Jeremy asked.

"We seem to be fine" Aelita said.

"Yeah, but who sent those lights?" Yumi asked

"I don't know but I heard someone say 'Solar flares" William shrugged.

"Are you going to hide all day or are you going to come out and help us?" Lana sighed.

"Um, who are you talking to?" Odd asked but Lana just held up her hand to silence him. The digital breeze began to pick up and pink flower petals began to swirl in front of them, like a small tornado, and then they just scattered, falling slowly to the ground, revealing a girl.

"Ladies, gentleman, and cat boy, meet Poison Ivy" Lana said pointing to the new girl, "But she also goes by the name-"

"Rose" William said cutting her off. The others gave him a weird look. "Remember? My dream?" he said to Yumi, Aelita and Odd. The girl standing before him was exactly like the one in his dream except for she had changed her look a little. She now wore a green short sleeve body suit that stopped above her knee with a pink sash around her waist holding small light green pouches. Up to her elbows she wore pink fingerless gloves and her green-pink hair was put up into two Chinese style buns held by green ribbons with pink flower buds on them. She still wore no shoes.

"Yes, like the older boy said, I am Rose. Not Poison Ivy, like my dear little sister is intent on calling me" the green hair girl said airily.

"Wait you have a sister?" Jeremy asked, "Why didn't you tell us?"

"I thought it was irrelevant," Lana shrugged before turning to William, "How did you know about her? And what dream were you talking about?"

"No time for questions guys," Jeremy interrupted, "We need to deactivate the tower."

"I'll show you the way," Rose offered.

"Are you sure you two are related?" Odd asked, "Because you seem nothing alike."

"Then my life is complete then," the wolf girl said sarcastically, "Leave the way. Ivy."

"You really need to learn how to show some respect for your elders, little sister," Rose said calmly while taking out some pink petals from her pouch.

"I'll do that when Xana throws me a birthday party," Lana murmured.

"I feel another headache coming on," Yumi sighed.

"Stand together, we'll use my petals to get to the tower quickly," the flower girl directed. Everyone did except for Lana.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I'll get to the tower on my own," Lana said, "Lightning Step!" she said before zooming off in a flash of neon blue light.

Rose sighed as she turned her pink eyes back to the rest of the group. "Shall we?" she asked not really waiting for a response before she blew on her flowers petals. "Petal Dance" she whispered before they began to swirl around the group getting faster and faster until they were entrapped in a storm of flower petals.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are the others okay?" Ulrich asked stepping out of the elevator and into the computer lab where Jeremy was staring at the screens.

"Hmm, Lana hasn't tried to kill Odd again if that's what you're asking" Jeremy said turning to his friend, "but it seems that Lana has an older sister that she might hate more then Odd."

"Great," Ulrich sighed, rolling his eyes.

"She seems more reasonable then Lana, but the really weird part," Jeremy said, "is that according to William, Rose, Lana's sister, is the same girl from his dream that he had."

"But how can he have a dream about her if he just met her?" Ulrich asked confused.

"I don't know. Maybe it was some kind of message from Franz Hopper," the blonde said sounding deep in thought.

"Well, don't think to hard about it, Einstein. Just try to take one thing at a time," Ulrich said laying a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"If only it was that easy," the computer whiz sighed, "Most of the programs that we need right now are no where near being completed and I still have no clue on how to get Aelita's father back. And then there is still the question of who Lana and now Rose are."

"Maybe, if we ask them…" Ulrich said

"If I thought it was that easy then I would have already done that," Jeremy said, sighing again. "Oh well, that's not important now. As long as they're who they say they are then that's enough."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the petals settled down to the ground the group found themselves a few yards away from the tower. Lana was sitting in a nearby tree, looking bored but it was hard to tell since her eyes were hidden. "2.2 seconds, Rose. Looks like you're getting slow" the wolf girl said.

"This coming from the person who was attacked by a scyphozoa so easily," Rose said, adding "no offense Aelita"

"None taken" the pink hair girl said.

"Finally," Odd shouted raising his hands up, "A girl who makes sense. I'm starting to like you Rose"

Lana growled lightly, a scowl on her face "Can we get this show on the road? I want to leave before I turn into some tree hugging freak like Big Sis here."

Aelita nodded running into the tower. She was raised onto the second platform. She raised her hand and the usual screen appeared in front of her.

Aelita…

Code…

Once again Aelita paused. And once again, instead of putting Lyoko she decided to put something else.

Code….Sun….

"Tower deactivated," she said softly as the files and codes that created the inner tower walls froze before falling.

Aelita came back out of the tower to see Odd, Yumi, and William surrounding and talking to Rose while Lana stayed away at a distance still sitting in the tree. The pink hair girl walked over to the aloof A.I.

"You two didn't always use to be like this," Aelita said, "You used to get along. I remember that."

"Well, things change, princess" Lana said not even looking down at the girl.

"I'm sending you guys back to Earth, "Jeremy said, "No need for a Return to the Past. Xana didn't do anything."

"Oh! Jeremy, right?" Rose asked.

"Yes?"

"I've noticed that your screens are unable to see the monsters due to the Seers abilities. I've created a program so that will no longer be a problem" Rose said.

"Wow! That's great!!!" Jeremy said, sounding excited, "That's one more thing I can cross off my list of things to do. Thanks Rose!"

"Thanks Rose!" Lana mocked.

"Well guess we have to go. Good bye mademoiselle," Odd said kissing Rose's hand before he turned to Lana, "Bye Mutt." Lana threw her staff at the boy, but luckily for him Jeremy materialized him and the others back on Earth.

"You know if you want to make friends, you should be a little bit nicer" Rose grinned waving her hand slowly.

"Did you turn off the communications?" Lana asked.

"Yes" Rose said nodding.

"It doesn't matter what they think of me here if they hate me then so be it. It'll just make it easier for them in the end" the wolf girl said, jumping down from the trees.

"You weren't always like this," Rose said.

"Well that was before what you did." Lana snarled.

"Will you always blame me for something that I didn't do?"

"Yes because I know you did do it," the wolf A.I. said before pushing past her sister, heading back towards her sector.

"Then you will get nothing accomplished if you blame me for your past mistakes," the flower girl whispered before disappearing in a gust of petals.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Musa's P.O.V.

It's late. Really late, but I couldn't leave the factory until I was sure the others had. Rose has just left, or should I say Cascada. Man, it's going to take a lot out of me to be nice to her at school. We weren't always like this. I didn't always hate her, but that's another story for another time. I need to cooperate with her for now.

I sighed as I put my hands behind my head and continued to take the long way back to Kadic. The sewer really stinks and I really don't feel like dealing with the smell. Besides I have a lot to deal with and I just need to think. I stare at the clear night sky above. The moon is out, not completely full, and the stars twinkle against the sky. It's kind of relaxing, but it can't make me forget what happened today on Lyoko.

I was mean to Odd, which I regret, really I do. He's been my first friend since I've been here, on Earth. Next time we're on Lyoko I'll try to be nicer, but it's so hard. It's like I'm another person on Lyoko. It's so weird, but I don't really want to think about the negatives. Think positive Musa. Positive.

I'm almost half way back to Kadic. I hope no one sees me come in late. I really don't need something else to worry about.

End P.O.V.

As Musa continued to walk the silent streets, past sleeping homes, she heard a noise from a nearby alleyway.

"I probably shouldn't go in there. I may have just been on Earth for only a few days but I know well enough that it could just be some creep" she said to herself. She heard the noise again. It didn't sound human and she was getting curious.

She slowly and cautiously walked to the alleyway. It was filled with trash can and boxes and was poorly lighted. As Musa continued to walk into the alley the sound became louder. She stopped at a cardboard box where the sound was coming from. Kneeling down, she slowly opened the box and was shocked at her findings.

"You-," she said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Odd, Ulrich, Aelita, and Jeremy were at the cafeteria eating breakfast. They all were wearing their gym clothes except for Jeremy who was just going to skip P.E. again.

"So Odd, where's your girlfriend, Musa?" Ulrich asked teasingly.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Odd yelled before calming down," but I haven't seen her all morning, though. Wonder if she is sleeping late."

"Isn't that her?" Aelita asked pointing towards the door where Musa had just rushed in. She looked like she just got up and didn't seem to be wearing her gym clothes. The new girl got in line getting her breakfast before running over to the table where the others sat. She put her croissant in a paper towel and grabbed her milk; she pushed the rest of her food towards Odd.

"Here. You can have it. See ya!" she said running out with her croissant and milk before any of them could say anything.

"Well that was…strange" Jeremy said.

"Which is another reason why she and Odd are perfect together" Ulrich laughed.

"Ha, ha, ha," Odd laughed sarcastically, "Let's go before we're late for P.E. and Jim makes us run extra laps" he said getting up, Ulrich and Aelita got up too.

"Have fun, guys" Jeremy said, "I'll be in my room working on stuff for Lyoko"

"Bye" the three said before leaving Jeremy behind. When they arrived at the track they had just made it in time but Musa was no where to be seen.

"Where is she?" Odd whispered, worried as Jim talked about his time in the army, which he surprisingly wanted to talk about. Out of nowhere, the sounds of feet running and heavy breathing was heard soon followed by the sight of Musa. Everyone stared at the out of breath girl as she ran to join the group.

"Utada," Jim bellowed loudly, "You're late!"

The girl laughed nervously, "Sorry Sensei," she said.

"Hmm, sensei," Jim said thoughtfully, "I like the sound of that," he thought chuckling. Musa took this opportunity to slowly make her way towards Odd and thee others while Jim was off in his own little world. She stood next to Odd still breathing a little heavy. Her hair was tied in two ponytails and she wore black baggy shorts and a neon blue tee-shirt underneath a black jacket with the sleeves pushed up to her elbows.

"What took you so long? And why you skipped breakfast?" Odd whispered.

"Don't worry," she yawned, "I just overslept because Ichigo kept me up all night."

"Who's Ichigo?" Ulrich asked

"I'll introduce you to her later," Musa said yawning again.

"Are you alright?" Aelita asked

"Peachy," Musa grinned, even though it looked like she just wanted to drop down and go to sleep.

"Okay," Jim said, coming out of his own little world, "We're going to have a quick race. Let's see…we'll start off with Stern, Della Robbia, Stones, and Utada."

"Great" Musa moaned as she and the other threes took their places at the starting line.

"Okay, on your mark, get set, GO!" Jim said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cascada's P.O.V.

Why am I even here? I know all of this stuff the teachers are talking about and anything I don't know I can just download into myself. Man, school is so boring! I don't even know why Lana, I mean Musa wanted to come to Earth so bad. There's nothing really interesting and you have to go to school which is just a waste of time. I could have already set up two more sectors if I weren't here. Humans are so slow! I don't know how Lana ever learned to speak Japanese the human way.

"Cascada, are you okay?" Yumi asked while the teacher droned on and on about quantum physics. I doubt anyone understood

"Yeah, why?" I ask back sounding bored.

"You seem out of it, "she said.

"Just bored, I already know this stuff" I sighed.

"You do?" she asked slightly surprised.

"Yeah, I, um, learned all of this at my old school." That seemed to be a good answer for her because she seemed to have bought it.

I sighed inwardly looking over my shoulder where William sat. He was looking at me. I could sense him. Is he my stalker or something? It's like everywhere I go he's there. Yes, I know we go to the same school and we are both dorm students but there is a fine line between bumping into someone on accident and stalking someone, and he's definitely stalking me.

I'm not trying to sound vain or anything by saying he's stalking me, but for real, he's everywhere I am. I'm surprised he wasn't in the shower with me. Oh, eeeewww that was a gross thought! Get it out! Get it out! Get it out! Man! Being around humans is making me go crazy! I can't wait till we finish this mission, but knowing my dear sister, she'll try to drag it on as long as she can. She's a total mystery to me. Maybe if HE was still around maybe he could explain her to me, or maybe mom could, but neither of them are here anymore. I sighed inwardly again, miserably. The past is the past. Even the return to the past program can't always change the past, sadly.

There more important things to think of though, like my stalker, I mean William. He said something yesterday in Lyoko about seeing me in a dream. Was that another lame pick-up line? I don't think so, but it's weird. How can you dream about a person you haven't even met? Geez, my head is hurting again. Humans have such limited thinking space. I should just skip class and paint or draw or something! This is torture! Someone delete me right now! Wait, no. Can't let that happen. That would make Lana too happy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Musa collapsed on the nearest bench after P.E. was over. 'Note to self,' she thought, 'I hate P.E. I wonder if I can get away skipping like Jeremy….'

"Musa why didn't you tell us?" Aelita asked, sitting next to the girl.

"Tell you what?" Musa mumbled tiredly.

"That you were such a quick runner!" Odd and Ulrich said at the same time.

"Is it a big deal?" the girl asked.

"Yes it is," Jim said walking over towards them. "You beat Stern and he's one of our most athletic students at Kadic. You also broke the school's track record."

"I broke something?" Musa asked worried, "Gomen. Sorry, sensei"

"Yeah, you should be sorry." Jim said putting his fists on his hips. "Sorry that you didn't tell me. We need a person like you on the track team," he grinned handing her a piece of paper, "This is a flyer for track try-outs and I want you to attend."

"Um, I can't," Musa said meekly.

"Why not?" Jim, Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita asked at the same time, making Musa cringe.

"I'm busy," she answered, hoping that her answer would suffice.

"With what?" Odd asked, "You haven't joined any clubs or anything, yet. This could be good for you."

"I'll think about it," Musa said before Jim patted her on the back almost making her fall over from the force.

"Great! See you at the try-outs, Utada" the P.E. instructor said walking away.

'Perfect,' the neon blue streaked girl thought sarcastically, 'something else to add to my list of things to do. Yippee.'

"So, um, Musa, you going to tell us who this Ichigo person is?" Odd asked shoving his hands in his pockets and not really looking at the girl in question.

"Ichigo?" Musa asked looking confused before she remembered who he was talking about and grinned, "Sure! She's in my room. Come on!" the previously tired girl said running towards the dorm, Aelita following her.

"Aren't you lucky," Ulrich smirked walking past Odd, "Ichigo is a girl."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Odd asked confused, but Ulrich didn't answer. After a couple of minutes, Odd understood what his friend was saying. "I don't like her like that!" he shouted to the already retreating back of Ulrich.

Musa' Dorm Room

Aelita, Odd, and Ulrich were in Musa's rooming watching as said girl crawled on her knees looking for something among the sea of boxes that she still hadn't bother to clean up.

"Musa, what are you looking for?" Aelita asked.

"Ichigo," the girl replied simply.

"So I'm guessing she's not a person since your looking in the trash bin," Ulrich said.

"Hai!" Utada said, crawling under her bed. "Found her! "she shouted happily, as she dragged a cardboard box out from under her bed. "Guys, I like you to meet Ichigo, my koneko."

"Koneko?" Odd asked.

"My kitten," Musa smiled as she opened the box to reveal a small black and white kitten with light blue eyes. "Isn't she kawaii? Cute?" she asked holding the kitten up towards the others.

"She sure is," Aelita said rubbing the cat behind its ear, making it purr in pleasure.

"She kinds of remind me of Odd," Ulrich laughed.

"How so?" Musa said putting a confused look on her face even though she already knew what he meant.

"Oh nothing," Ulrich said catching himself.

"Whatever," Musa said, cradling the small cat in her arms.

"Wait, I'll be right back" Odd said running out of the room.

"Where is he going?" Musa wondered out loud.

"Is the name Ichigo Japanese?" Aelita asked as Musa handed the kitten to her.

"Hai! It means strawberry" the new girl said as she picked up the bottle of milk that she had gotten earlier today and poured some in a bowl for the cat.

"That's funny," Ulrich chuckled, "Strawberry-Kiwi"

"I don't get it," Musa said, truly confused.

"You will if I'm right about where Odd went," Ulrich said right before Odd came running back into the room with something wrapped in a blanket held in his arm.

"What's that?" Musa asked as the head of a small dog popped out of the blanket and barked.

"This is Kiwi," Odd said, "Kiwi meet Musa and her kitten Ichigo."

"Nice to meet you, Kiwi" Musa laughed taking Ichigo from Aelita. "Do you think they'll get along?" she asked.

"Of course!" Odd laughed, "It only makes sense since we do. Like master like pet."

"I think we should leave these four alone, Aelita," Ulrich whispered to the pink hair girl but Musa and Odd heard him.

"Shut up!" they yelled at Stern at the same time before blushing.

"Aww it's so cute! They're saying the same thing at the same time," Aelita giggled joining in on Ulrich's teasing.

"No we're not!" Musa and Odd said before turning to each other. "Hey stop that!" they yelled. "Me? You stop it!" they continued before smiling at each other sneakily.

"I don't like that look," Ulrich said backing out of the room with Aelita.

"Are you thinking of what I'm thinking?" Odd asked as he sat Kiwi down.

"I think I am," Musa said putting Ichigo down too as they began to advance towards the brunette and the pink hair girl.

"Ulrich, they're scaring me," Aelita said as the two continued to keep backing away.

"Me too, princess."

"You know this would be the part where you two run," Musa said menacingly. Without even thinking, Ulrich and Aelita were off, leaving behind a laughing Odd and Musa.

"How long you think it's going to take for them to realize that we're not following them?" Odd asked in between laughing.

"Don't know," Musa shrugged trying to stop laughing, "But….I….think….we better….head…to class" she said in between giggles.

"Okay," Odd said, finally stop laughing, "Can I leave Kiwi here? It'll take too long to go back to my room."

"Sure," Musa said before closing her door. "Bye Ichigo. Bye Kiwi. Be good" she said through the door.

"Come on or Mrs. Hertz is going to give us detention if we're late," Odd said grabbing Musa's hand and running towards the science room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yumi tapped her pencil nervously as she tried to study for her history test, but the only thing she was doing was annoying Cascada who was thinking of possible things to paint. The two girls were in the library for study hall.

The strawberry blonde growled as she snatched the pencil away from the girl she guessed she could consider a friend. Yumi looked at her startled as if she was wakened from a dream.

"What's bothering you?" Cascada asked.

"Why would you say that?" Yumi asked trying to pretend like she was studying.

"Because you've been doing a drum solo with your pencil for 15 minutes. Now tell me what's wrong so I can nap!" the new girl growled.

"Nap? Don't you have to study?" Yumi asked.

"No. Like I said I already know this stuff and stop trying to change the subject. It won't work on me," Cascada said seriously, "Now talk."

Yumi looked a little nervous before sighing. "You have to promise you won't tell anyone" she said.

"Other then you and Stalker Boy," Cascada said pointing to William who was looking their way, "who else do I talk to?"

Yumi sighed again before speaking. "It's Ulrich."

"OMG! It's the end of the world," the blonde said sarcastically.

"Cascada!" Yumi pleaded.

"Fine" said girl said rolling her eyes, "Continue."

"He thinks something is wrong. With my family," Yumi said.

"You mean with your family's ideas or are you talking about parental problems?" Cascada asked leaning back in her chair and closing her eyes.

"Parental problems and he's right."

"So? I don't get it. He's worried about you. Is that such a crime?" Cascada asked opening one of her eyes to look at the raven hair girl next to her.

"No, I just don't want him to worry and also…" Yumi trailed off looking at her hands that were in her lap.

"Wait let me guess. I'm physic." Cascada said putting her hands up to her temples and humming, like she was meditating. "You love him!"

"No! I mean, I like him but…" Yumi said blushing.

"I'm sure that Ulrich's a cool kid. I mean he's not my type. I don't like to go for the younger guys but if he likes you like I'm pretty sure you like him then you should be able to tell him anything," the green eyed girl said sitting up straight.

"I guess so," Yumi said, feeling a little better, "Can
I ask you something else?"

"I got nothing better to do. Shoot" Cascada yawned.

"What's with calling William Stalker Boy?"

Cascada winked as she gathered her things. "Just watch" she said. "Ma'am?" she said addressing the teacher who was watching over the study period group.

"Yes?" the woman asked looking over the rim of her glasses at Cascada.

"I don't feel well. Can I go to the infirmary?" the strawberry blonde asked sounding truly sick.

"Of course," the teacher said.

"Ma'am, I'll take her," William offered a little too quickly.

"Okay, Dunbar," the teacher said as the boy grabbed his stuff.

Cascada winked back at Yumi before she began to leave. "See ya," the green eyed girl said, "and don't forget to try to talk to Stern. He might surprise you."

"Ready?" William asked walking up to Cascada.

"Lead the way," the girl said before they exited the library.

'She's right, but how am I suppose to tell him I might be moving?' Yumi thought as she stared out the window where she could see Cascada and William heading no where close to the infirmary.

Yay! I'm so happy! 1.) because I finally got my computer back from repair!!! and 2.) because this is my longest chapter ever!!! Party!!!! Okay now that I'm done with that I have to say that I'm not totally happy with this chapter (I say that alot don't I?) so sorry if it's not the best. This chapter's main purpose was to introduce Rose/Cascada and show a little bit of her personality on Lyoko and Earth. I've bet you've already realized that they're different depending on whether she's on Earth or on Lyoko. The same goes with Lana/Musa. It'll be explained in later chapters why they act that way.

I kind of added Ichigo on a whim. Ihad originally planned for Odd or somene else that I'm not adding till later chapters to give it to her but I decided against it.

Still no pictures. I'm so sad. Details for picture entries in Chapter 10 (I think...)

Sorry if this chapter seem like a run on or made no sense. Tell me if it did in a review.

Anyway...PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
