Mira was now sitting all alone in detention with Jim staring at her solemnly every few minutes. He was giving mixed feelings, one threatening and saying that she had better not try to escape and the other disappointed and sad because he had never imagined her in detention, even if she was friends with them.

So I'm sure your wondering why she was in detention.

Well, it all started this morning when she was eating breakfast.

*Flashback*

"Odd, I swear one of these days all this eating is going to catch up with you and your going to explode." Aelita said as she watched him stuff his face with his 4 serving of eggs.

"I doubt it. I mean, how can anyone that scrawny ever become fat?" Ulrich joked.

"I am not scrawny. I'm SVELTE"

"Everyone who thinks Odd is scrawny raise their hand." Ulrich announced.

All of them but Odd raised their hands, and that of corse included Mira.

"You're kidding right?" Odd asked, looking dumbfounded.

"No..."

"But your scrawnier then me!"

"I didn't say I wasn't scrawny." Mira defended. "I just said you were."

And with that, the whole table burst out laughing, again excluding Odd.

Then Odd got a devious smirk on his face.

"Fine, if you don't want me to eat this food, I guess I'll just have to do something like this."

And then he took his egg and put it on his plastic spoon. Positioning it carefully, he pushed down on the spoon to the point where it was almost breaking. Finally, he let go sending the egg flying through an opened window to an unknown destination.

"Odd! Your going to get in trouble!" Mira freaked.

"Nah, lighten up a little. Here, you try." And then her boyfriend put more eggs on a spoon and showed her how to position it to send the eggs flying. Reluctantly, she did so.

And as if the whole thing was staged, Jim walked in the cafeteria then with eggs all over his face. Upon seeing him, the whole cafeteria burst out laughing. He searched for signs of the culprit among the laughing students furiously.

Of course, he then saw Mira. Holding a spoon filled with eggs ready to be launched out a window.

"CONWELL!" He barked.

Her eyes widened, realizing how bad this actually looked.

"Sir I didn't-"

"You clearly did! You're even about to do it again!"

"But-"

"the evidence is right THERE!"

"Just listen I-"

"NOW!"

With the whole class silent as if she was walking to her own funeral, she put the spoon down and got up out of her chair. She looked over at Odd one more time to see if he would man up and take responsibility.

He didn't. Instead, he was doubled over clutching his stomach and laughing quietly.

Disappointment and anger flared through her body. Without a word to her friends, she made her way to Jim who led her to the principles office where it was decided she would have 4 hours of detention.

*present time*

Mira sighed as she stared out the window. She had about twenty minutes left until she could get out of there. And then Odd was in for it.

Over the past two weeks, he was constantly getting on her nerves. He stood her up on their usual walk with the dogs because he slept in which also caused Kiwi to pee on Ulrich's mattress while he was in the bathroom; He wouldn't pay attention when she tried to help him with homework and instead played video games acting like she wasn't there; When they worked together in class, he made her do all the work and now this.

He was in for it alright.

Her phone vibrated with a text and she thanked god her friends remembered not to call since she had detention. Under the table, she checked her phone.

From Jeremy: X.A.N.A attack, come to the factory.

She frowned at her phone before flipping it up to it's full keyboard and texting back.

To Jeremy: I can't leave yet, but I'll be out in ten and then I swear I'm there.

A minute later, he phone beeped again.

From Jeremy: Can't you get here sooner?

She glanced over at Jim to make sure he wasn't looking. Since he was tying his shoe laces, she found it safe to reply.

To Jeremy: No I can't. You have Odd to thank for that.

At the factory, the five friends were waiting to see if Mira would be joining them. Ulrich had been reading Jeremy's messages to Mira over his shoulder.

"Thanks a lot Odd." Ulrich hissed.

"What did I do?"

"Mira says she can't get here because she is stuck in detention for another ten minutes."

Odd rolled his eyes. "That's not my fault."

Ulrich just about exploded. "Not your fault? She's in detention because you flung eggs at Jim and then let her take the blame for it! I mean, not only did you let Mira take the fall, you let your Girlfriend take the fall. You pretty much let my little sister take the fall because you were being a jerk!"

"I was laughing to hard!" Odd defended.

"Did you confess afterwards? Apologize to her?"

"Well no but-"

"Exactly!" Ulrich shouted.

"Hey, she's my girlfriend, she shouldn't mind taking the fall for me at all."

Now it was Aelita's turn to explode. She laughed sarcastically. "You can't be serious can you? Do you realize how much shit that girl put's up with for you already? If I were her, I would have broken up with your sorry ass a long time ago!"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Jeremy boomed. "IN THE SCANNERS NOW!"

Like children being scolded by their father, the three teens got into the elevator setting a course for the scanners, Yumi lingering behind them. She hadn't done anything to fuel the fight, but she would have if it kept going. She completely agreed with what Ulrich said about Mira being a little sister and she was seriously about to explode as well.

A few minutes later, all the warriors were on Lyoko accept Mira.

Mira was now leaving the detention room. She had long since given up on making excuses and instead decided to apologize to Jim for something that she didn't do.

"Sir?" She asked timidly. Jim looked at her with an unreadable expression.

"I'm sorry." She bowed in a japanese style. "My intentions were never to hit you with those eggs, but I shouldn't have been flinging them in the first place. I've thought about my mistake and I'm truly sorry. It won't happen again."

Jim, who had never received an unforced apology, smiled and ruffled her hair.

"It's okay kid, just don't do it again. Now get going."

Mira smiled excitedly and all but ran out of the library.

"And make sure you work extra hard in gym class tomorrow!" He shouted.

"I will!" She promised over her shoulder. Then she was off, heading towards the factory.

Her phone began to ring with a call from Jeremy.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey Mira, It's Jeremy. I think we have things under ropes over here, so can you check for suspicious activity around the school?"

"Sure thing. I'll let you know if I find something."

Mira ended the phone call and changed her corse from the forest to looking around the school. She sprinted around the school and checking in all the places wnere many kids were gathered, but couldn't find anything.

Grabbing her phone, she dialed Jeremy.

"Hello?"

"Hey. I checked around the school and I couldn't find anything. Do you need me at the factory?"

"Nah we got it. Aelita's almost at the tower. Go ahead and sit this one out. You've been working hard as it is and I'm sure Odd is someone you don't wanna see right now."

She sighed in relief. "Thanks for understanding."

"No problem. You do know you have to talk to him eventually right?"

"Yeah. Thanks Einstein. I'll see you later."

She hung up her phone and decided the best corse of action was to proceed to her room. She needed a nap anyway. Detention sure did make a girl tired. Sluggishly, she made her way back to her room.

Oddly enough, the girls dorm hallway was empty. Then again, it was 2:30 on a saturday afternoon. Besides, that just meant more peace and quiet. Thankfully, Angel was hanging out with Kiwi in Odd and Ulrich's room so Mira didn't have to worry about the little dog.

Mira opened her door and kicked of her shoes onto the carpet in the middle of the room. With a yawn, she started towards her bed.

That's when she noticed the electricity.

Electricity glowed and charged on every electric appliance she had. Fortunately, she hadn't left anything on the carpet so that wasn't an electric death trap. Unfortunetly, she had left her lap top on her bed so that was charged up to. Her door swung shut and locked leaving no where to run.

"Crap. . ."

Ever so carefully, she dialed Jeremy on her phone using speed dial and quickly set it on on the table. This left less of a chance of her ear getting electrocuted.

"Hello? Mira did you find something?"

"Y-yeah. I did." She stuttered.

"What is it?"

"My room. Everything in my room is electrified and I can't move from my spot in the middle of the floor."

"Okay stay calm. Aelita's about to enter the tower."

Mira yelped and jumped up as a round of electricity was shot at her from her phone.

"Mira are you alright?!" Came Jeremy's voice urgently.

"Y-yeah but you should hang up now. Your call might be the death of me."

"Okay, just hang tight. Aelita's in the tower." Then the call was ended.

Mira jumped again as more electricity was shot at her. She dodged and twirled out of the way to the best of her ability as now almost all of her appliances were firing at her.

She did get it by one though, and it sent her sprawling to the ground with electricity coursing through her body. She cried out in pain, her body feeling overwhelmed.

The onslaught stopped with everything electrical charging up for the last attack that would burn her to a crisp.

Aelita landed at the top of the tower and raced towards the middle. A screen appeared.

Cracking sounds could be heard from all Mira's appliances. The blonde felt to weak to do anything, supporting all her weight on her hands and knee's. She was shaking from weakness and fright.

A pinkette placed her hand on the middle of a screen.

Code: Lyoko

"Tower deactivated."

Jeremy smiled, then frowned again. For all he knew, Mira was burnt to a crisp by now. He wasn't taking any chances.

"Return to the past now."

It was these words that actually bring us to the present time. You see, it was those words that caused Mira to be in detention the way she was now and had caused her to serve a full eight hours of punishment. She wasn't mad at Jeremy, he'd probably saved her life. She was mad at Odd.

As soon as detention was over, she apologized to Jim Again and stomped her way over to Ulrich and Odd's room. When she got there, her fist pounded on the door. It was Ulrich who answered.

"Hey Mira, come on in."

She entered. Of course when she did she found dirty cloths everywhere and Odd in the center of them playing a video game.

"Hey Ulrich, can you give us a minute?" Mira whispered to him. He nodded with a sad smile.

"Sure thing squirt." Ulrich left, leaving Odd and Mira alone.

"Odd, can I talk to you for a sec?" She asked, trying to keep her tone even.

"Yeah sure, just a moment. I wanna beat this level."

"Odd." She repeated, this time her voice more stern. Sighing, he set the game on pause.

"Jeez, you need to learn a little patience." He commented.

Ah yes. Odd just so happened to cause another person to exploded. It was the third person that day actually.

"Patient? You're telling me I need to be Patient! I just went through eight hours of detention because of you! Eight! Not to mention that I try to help you with homework or that I try to walk the dogs with you. Three times alone this week I had to walk both dogs because you were 'to tired.' Patient is the last thing I need to be right now!" She yelled.

Odd glared at her. "You shouldn't mind doing any of that for me! I mean, I do try to do that math homework but you aren't that good of a teacher! And yeah, I was tired and the dogs needed to be walked. Was it really that hard to walk them? Really, you can run miles around the track effortlessly but you can't walk the dogs?"

"And what's your excuse! You were playing video games all night?'

"Yeah, is that a problem?" Odd snorted.

"Yes it is! Odd, your treating me like I'm a maid or, or a slave! I am not your slave. I'm your girlfriend for crying out loud!"

"Are you?" He fired back.

Mira was so stunned by this that she didn't know what to say. She stood in her spot speechless, all the anger rushing out of her. Her blood ran cold. Now, all she could feel was disappointment and sadness. This wasn't the Odd that had helped her with her wrists. This wasn't her Odd. Finally, she responded with a single tear streaming down her face.

"No. I guess I'm not."

That said, she turned and ran out of the room the tears now freely pouring down her face. Ulrich, who had been trying to listen at the door and succeeded, watched as she fled back to her room. He turned to Odd furious.

"What the fuck was that! You've been acting like a total ass to her and she still did all that for you and when she tells you how she felt to your face, you fucking scream at her for it?! Accuse her of being a bad girlfriend for it?! Breakup with her for it?!" He was getting closer and closer to Odd by the word looking like he was about to punch him. Ulrich shoved his finger on Odd's chest roughly pushing him back.

"You don't deserve someone like her and you're never going to find someone like that again. She did all that for you, stuck by your side, fought by your side and you treated her like shit. I'm not even sure you should bother apologizing. You screwed up dude, and it might just be beyond repair now."

Then, Ulrich spun on his heels and raced down to Mira's room so that he could comfort 'his little sister.' Meanwhile, Odd just stood there staring at the door. Everything from the past two weeks replaying in his head over and over again.

"What did I just do?"
