Read and no flames please!
On afternoon, in a public park, Zenon is sitting on a bench, reading a magazine.
"Hm...So they're making a sequel to Autumn's desire. I don't see why they need to. I mean...The girl died and the guy ran off with her grandmother. What else is there to say?" said Zenon as she read the magazine.
Just then, Zenon sees Odd walking up to her carrying a paper cup with a spoon inside.
"Wow, what took you so long, Odd? Did you have to cross the great wall of China just to get ice cream?" asked Zenon.
"If you saw how long that line was, I thought I was on the great wall." said Odd. "But I got you your ice cream!"
Odd hands the cup to Zenon.
Zenon takes the cup and notices the ice cream is all melted.
"Uh..Odd...The ice cream's all melted...It's pretty much soup right now." said Zenon.
"Oh no..I knew I shouldn't have stopped to get a drink of water...Now the ice cream's melted." said Odd with a sad sigh. "I'm such a terrible boyfriend."
Zenon places a hand on Odd's shoulder as she gives him a comforting smile.
"That's not true, Odd. At least you brought me back something. You're a wonderful boyfriend." said Zenon with a smile.
"Really?" asked Odd with a small hopeful smile.
"Of course. And besides, we've been together for almost 3 months. You must be doing something right." said Zenon with a smirk.
"Yeah. You're right." said Odd with a smile. "I love you, Zenon."
The two lean in for a kiss. Before their lips meet, a stray frisbee flies over and hits Odd, knocking him over.

The next day, male Lyoko warriors are standing together by the vending machines.
"So, Odd. Tomorrow, you and Zenon's relationship will have made the 3 month mark." said Ulrich.
"I know. It's just so wonderful that she and I are dating now. I feel like what we have is special." said Odd.
"Of course seeing as this is your longest relationship." said Ulrich.
"Actually, this relationship lasted 3 times longer than the other ones." said Jeremy.
"Come on, guys. That's not true." said Odd.
"Odd, your longest relationship was 3 weeks and your shortest was 5 minutes." said Ulrich.
"Whatever! All that matters now is that I'm with Zenon and we've lasted almost 3 months now." said Odd.
"Yeah, I wonder how long it'll be before Zenon comes to her senses and breaks up with you." said Jeremy with a laugh
"Come on, Einstein! Zenon won't break up with me! She wouldn't want to!" said Odd.
"I was just kidding, Odd. Relax." said Jeremy with a smirk. "I highly doubt Zenon would wanna break up with you anyway."
"Really?" asked Odd.
"I agree. When she and I were dating, she wasn't as happy as she is with you. She's even said that she really enjoys being with you." said Ulrich.
"Yeah. Out of all the boyfriends Zenon's had, she's been the happiest with you." said Jeremy. "Except, there was one other guy.."
"What?" asked Odd.
"There was this one guy Zenon was with when she was living on the station. Zenon was totally crazy about this guy. He was very handsome. He made her really happy." said Jeremy. "He was the perfect guy for Zenon, but something broke them up. It's a shame that they broke up."
"Come on, Einstein. I'm totally better than that guy! If they broke up, then he wasn't as great as he seemed!" said Odd. "Zenon and I'll last way longer than she did with that guy!"
"So, what'd you get Zenon for your anniversary?" asked Ulrich.
Odd pauses for a moment before slapping his hand over his forehead.
"Oh no, I totally forgot to buy her gift!" said Odd.
"Well, I found a good reason for Zenon to break up with you now.." said Ulrich.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, near the dormitory building, the three female Lyoko warriors are walking together.
"So, Zenon. Did you get Odd a gift for your anniversary yet?" asked Yumi.
"Mhm. I just picked it up last night." said Zenon.
"What is it?" asked Aelita.
"It's a secret." said Zenon with a smirk. "Also, there's something I wanna talk to you guys about."
"What is it?" asked Aelita.
"It's about Odd.." said Zenon.
"Uh oh. What'd he do now?" asked Yumi.
"It's not that! It's just..I-." started Zenon before she was interrupted by the sound of girls screaming.
The three turn to find a crowd of girls gathered at the entrance of the dormitory building.
"I wonder what that's all about." said Zenon.
"Let's go check it out." said Yumi.
The three girls walk over to the crowd to what's going on.
"Ugh. There's so many girls, it's hard to see what's going on." said Aelita.
Yumi turns to a girl standing next to her in the crowd.
"Hey,what's going on? What's with this crowd?" asked Yumi.
"Didn't you guys hear? There's a totally hot guy that came to visit! He's here to see someone at the academy!" said the girl.
Just then Jim comes over to the crowd.
"Alright, alright. Break it up, ladies. You all should be getting to class right about now. Our visitor will have time to talk to you guys later!" said Jim as he was getting rid of the girls.
The crowd begins to disperse. As the girls start to move away, the three female Lyoko warriors begin to see Sissi standing next to a tall guy with medium length black hair.
"Ooh, he's cute." said Aelita with a smile.
"Who is that guy?" wondered Yumi.
"Oh my...I know who that is." said Zenon as she stared at the guy with wide eyes.
"Hm? Really? Who is he?" asked Yumi.
"I thought they'd never leave! Anyway, it's so great that you came to visit Kadic. If I may ask, why'd you decide to travel so far to come visit us?" Sissi asked the guy.
"I am here to see the most beautiful girl in the galaxy." said the guy with a smile.
"Oh my. I didn't know that you knew me. I'm so glad you came to see me." said Sissi with a smile.
"Er..I am sorry, but I wasn't referring to you..I was talking about someone else." said the guy.
"Huh? Who could you mean then?" asked Sissi, a bit confused.
"..Aaron?" Zenon called out.
Hearing his name, the guy turns towards Zenon. His eyes light up as he sees her.
"Ah! Zenon! There you are!" said Aaron with a smile as he walked over to Zenon.
"It is so wonderful to see you again." Aaron said as he took Zenon's hand and kissed it, causing the girl to blush.
"I-It's nice to see you, too.." said Zenon with a bit of a nervous smile.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Meanwhile, the guys are walking in the direction of the dormitory building to find the girls.
"Odd, how could you forget to get Zenon a gift for your anniversary?" asked Jeremy.
"Relax, Einstein. I'll just go into town later and pick up a gift for her!" said Odd.
"Do you want me to lend you my credit card?" asked Ulrich.
"Nope! My parents finally got me one! Now I can buy all the gifts for Zenon I want!" said Odd with a smile.
As the guys approach the dormitory building, they spot Zenon, Sissi, Yumi and Aelita standing there with a guy who's holding Zenon's hands.
"Hm? Who's that guy over there?" asked Ulrich.
"And why is he holding Zenon's hands?!" asked Odd in an upset tone.
"He looks familiar.." said Jeremy.
The guys walk over to where the girls are standing.
"Hey, guys. Who's this?" asked Ulrich.
"Oh, hey, guys. Aaron, you remember my cousin, Jeremy. These are my friends, Yumi, Ulrich and Aelita." said Zenon as she introduced her friends to Aaron.
"It is very nice to meet the friends of such a beautiful girl like Zenon." said Aaron with a smile.
"Ahem!" Odd said as he glared at Aaron.
"Oh, uh..Aaron, this is Odd, my boyfriend. Odd, this is Aaron..He's..my...Uhm.." started Zenon as she got very nervous.
"I am Zenon's ex-boyfriend. It is very nice to meet you." said Aaron.
"I remember him. He's the guy Zenon was totally crazy about before when she used to live on the station." Jeremy whispered to the rest of his friends.
"Well this must be awkward for her. She has her boyfriend and her ex-boyfriend right next to each other. " whispered Yumi.
"So, Aaron, what are you doing here? I thought you were on the station." said Zenon.
"I was, but I missed seeing your face everyday, so I decided to come and visit you." said Aaron.
"That's very sweet of you..." said Zenon with a smile.
Odd lets out a cough.
"B-but, you probably should've called or something!" said Zenon.
"I know. But you did always like surprises. I remembered that from when we were dating." said Aaron.
"Really?" asked Zenon with a small smile.
Odd lets out another cough.
"B-But, surprises aren't always that great!" said Zenon.
"Maybe later I could take you out for dinner as an apology then?" asked Aaron with a smirk.
"That sounds..." started Zenon with a small smile.
Odd lets out yet another cough.
"..Terrible...I have...Stuff..." said Zenon.
"Oh, maybe we could spend time together before I leave tomorrow." said Aaron.
"Yeah, sure that would be nice." said Zenon.
Just then the bell rings for class.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Aaron, I have to get to class now." said Zenon.
"Ah. Very well then. I shall see you later." said Aaron with a smile as he kissed Zenon's hand before walking off with Sissi.
The Lyoko warriors then walk off to class.
"So, Zenon. That was your ex-boyfriend?" asked Yumi with a smirk.
"Yeah.." said Zenon.
"Why'd you break up with him? He's totally cute!" said Aelita with a giggle.
"He's not all that good looking..." said Odd with a jealous groan.
"It just didn't work out between me and him..." said Zenon.
"I don't know. He seemed like still really likes you, Zenon." said Ulrich.
"He's crazy about Zenon. He used to do everything for her." said Jeremy.
"Whatever! He had his chance and blew it with Zenon! Now Zenon has another boyfriend! Let's just forget about him!" said Odd with a jealous tone.
"Sounds like someone's jealous.." said Ulrich with a smirk.
x-x-x-x-x
Later that evening, Jeremy and Ulrich are in Jeremy's room as Jeremy works on his computer.
Just then, Odd walks into the room with a disappointed look on his face.
"Hey, Odd. What's wrong?" asked Ulrich.
"I couldn't get Zenon's gift." said Odd with a sigh as he sat on Jeremy's bed.
"Why not?" asked Jeremy.
"I maxed out my credit card, so I can't buy anything. And my parents won't give me any more money until the bill's paid!" said Odd.
"Wow, Odd. Maybe you should've bought Zenon's gift a long time ago before you maxed out your card." said Jeremy.
"Yeah, I bet Aaron would've done that." said Ulrich with a smirk.
"Whatever! I could care less about that guy!" said Odd with a groan and an eyeroll. "Anyway, what am I going to do? Our anniversary's tomorrow, and I haven't gotten Zenon anything! I'm too broke to afford anything or to take her anywhere..."
"Aaron would always save up his money to buy gifts for Zenon and take her out." said Jeremy.
"You're not making me feel any better, Jeremy!" said Odd.
"I'm just saying. Aaron really made Zenon happy. He always made sure he did everything for Zenon." said Jeremy.
"Maybe you could take a tip or two from Aaron on how to be a better boyfriend." said Ulrich with a smirk.
"Ugh..I'm going to go talk to Zenon. Maybe she'll make me feel better.." said Odd with a groan as he got up and left the room.
Ulrich and Jeremy watch Odd leave the room.
"You think we could've been more supportive?" asked Ulrich.
"Probably. And besides, Aaron wasn't all that great. I mean, there was one thing about him that Odd doen't have that made Zenon break up with him." said Jeremy.
"What was it?" asked Ulrich.
x-x-x-x-x
Moments later, on the girl's floor of the dormitory, Odd walks down the hall towards Zenon's room.
"Pfft..Stupid Aaron...I'm better than he is...Just because I'm not some butt kissing pretty boy doesn't mean I'm not a good boyfriend to Zenon.." Odd mumbled to himself as he walked.
Odd approaches Zenon's door. As he's about to knock, he hears talking coming from the other side of the door.
"...So are you sure that's how you feel?" asked Yumi.
"Yeah..Seeing Aaron again made me realize my true feelings." said Zenon.
"Wow. Are you gonna tell Odd?" asked Aelita.
"I'm gonna tell him tomorrow. I wanna get this off my chest as soon as possible." said Zenon.
Odd just stares at the door, a sad look on his face.
"Aaron?...She..She loves Aaron more than me?" wondered Odd.
Odd lets out a sad sigh.
"I guess Jeremy was right. It was only a matter of time before Zenon came to her senses..." said Odd as he walked away sadly.
On the other side of the door, the three female Lyoko warriors are sitting together, talking.
"So you're gonna tell Odd that you love him?" asked Yumi.
"Yeah. I always knew there was a very special connection me and Odd had." said Zenon. "Aaron was my first love and the feelings I had for him, I felt the same for Odd."
"But, if you loved Aaron, why'd you two break up?" asked Aelita.
"He's too much of a narcissist. I mean, yeah, he constantly told me how beautiful I was, but when he started to compare how attractive I was to him, that's where I drew the line." said Zenon.
x-x-x-x-x-x
The next day, Ulrich, Aelita, Yumi and Jeremy are sitting together in the courtyard.
Just then Odd walks over to the group and joins them, a sad look on his face.
"Hey, Odd. Slept well?" asked Aelita.
"I guess.." said Odd in a low tone.
"What's wrong, Odd?" asked Yumi.
"He's been in a sulky mood since last night." said Ulrich.
"What's wrong, Odd? Everything alright?" asked Jeremy.
"Yeah...It's nothing..Nothing at all.." said Odd with a sigh. "Where's Zenon?"
"She's with Aaron. She's spending time with him before he has to go back home." said Jeremy.
"Oh..Okay.." said Odd with a sad sigh.
"You know, Odd, if you're upset with all this talk about Aaron we're sorry. We didn't mean to make you upset." said Jeremy.
"No, it's okay, guys..." said Odd.
"Come on, Odd. Be a little bit happier! It's your 3 month anniversary today!" said Yumi, trying to cheer her friend up.
"Yeah. I bet Zenon's really excited to celebrate this milestone in your relationship." said Aelita.
"I don't know about that..." said Odd with a sad sigh.
"What do you mean?" asked Aelita.
"Nothing...I'm gonna go feed Kiwi now.." said Odd as he walked away from the group.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Moments later, Odd is walking towards the dormitory building.
As he's approaching the entrance, in the distance, he spots Zenon standing with Aaron, who's holding her hands. From where he's standing, Odd can hear their conversation.
"Even though my visit was very short, I am very happy to be able to see you again." Aaron said with a smile.
"I know. It was very nice to see you again, too." said Zenon.
"I truly do miss what we had togehter. Being able to be with such a girl who shine's brighter than any star in the sky." said Aaron.
"You always did know how to make me smile..." said Zenon with a small smile.
Odd lets out a small, sad sigh.
"And I guess I don't..." said Odd as he walked into the building.
Meanwhile, over with Zenon and Aaron.
"But.." started Zenon as she pulled her hands away from Aaron. "It's time for you to move on."
"But, why?" asked Aaron.
"Look, I know what we had was wonderful and you always will be the first guy I've ever loved, but..I'm in love with someone else now.." said Zenon.
"Oh..I see...I understand." said Aaron with a smile. "If that is what you want, then I have no choice but to accept it."
"Thank you, Aaron. I hope we can still be good friends." said Zenon.
"Of course. If I can't have a girlfriend as beautiful as you, then I'm lucky to atleast have a friend as beautiful as you." said Aaron with a smirk. "Odd is a very lucky guy to have you."
"No, I'm very lucky to have him." said Zenon with a smile.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Later that evening, in front of the vending machines, Ulrich, Aelita, and Jeremy are sitting there together.
Just then, Zenon walks over to join her friends.
"Hey, guys." said Zenon as she greeted her friends.
"Hey. So did Aaron leave yet?" asked Jeremy.
"Yeah. He left a few minutes ago." said Zenon. "Has anyone seen Odd? I haven't seen him since classes ended today."
"He's in our room sulking." said Ulrich.
"Why? It's our anniversary today. If anything he should be happy." said Zenon.
"We don't know what's wrong with him." said Aelita.
"I'll go talk to him." said Zenon as she walked away from the group.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A few moments later, in Odd and Ulrich's room, Odd is laying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling.
Just then, he hears the door open. Odd turns his head to see Zenon walking in.
"Oh...Hi." said Odd as he sat up
"Well you don't seem all that excited to see me..." said Zenon as she sat next to Odd.
"Sorry...I haven't been in the greatest mood all day." said Odd.
"Well, maybe this'll make you feel better." said Zenon as she took a small box out of her bag and handed it to Odd.
"What is it?" asked Odd as he took the box.
"It's your gift. Open it." said Zenon with a smile.
Odd slowly opens the box. Odd opens the box to find a necklace with a pendant in the shape of half of a heart.
"Oh my..It's so...Beautiful." said Odd as he looked at the necklace.
"I got it engraved. Read what it says." said Zenon.
Odd looks at the pendant and tries to read what it says.
"...Love infinite can us we be forever Odd...Uh...Is that even a proper sentence?" asked Odd.
"I have the other half to that pendant." said Zenon with a small laugh.
Zenon reaches around the back of her neck and unclasped a necklace with a similar pendant. Zenon puts the pendants of her and Odd's necklaces together.
"Look, when they're put together it reads, Our love is infinite. Nothing can tear us apart. We will be together forever. Zenon + Odd." said Zenon.
"Oh..Zenon,...That's..That's so sweet of you.." said Odd.
Odd lets out a small sigh.
"But, I can't take it..." said Odd.
"Why not?" asked Zenon.
"Because...I..I forgot to get you a gift.." said Odd as tears welled up in his eyes. "I just remembered yesterday to get you a gift, but by then, I was too broke to buy you anything! I'm the worst boyfriend ever!"
"Odd, it's okay. I don't care if you forgot to buy me a gift. I'm just happy if you remembered our anniversary." said Zenon with a comforting smile.
"Really?" asked Odd.
"Of course..There's something I need to tell you, Odd." said Zenon.
Odd lets out another sigh.
"I already know." said Odd.
"You do?" asked Zenon, a bit shocked.
"Yeah. You're breaking up with me to be with Aaron." said Odd.
"...What?" asked Zenon, confused.
"It's alright, I understand. You obviously can do better than me. And besides, everyone else thinks that Aaron's a better guy for you than me..." said Odd.
"Odd.." said Zenon.
"He's handsome and he cares about you. He constantly tells you how much he loves you and how pretty you are.." said Odd.
"Odd..." said Zenon.
"He always puts you first and thinks about your feelings..." said Odd.
Zenon lets out a groan.
"Odd, will you shut up so I can tell you that I love you?" said Zenon.
"Unlike me. I'm selfish and-...Wait, what?" asked Odd.
"I wanted to tell you that I love you, Odd." said Zenon.
"R-Really?" asked Odd.
"Of course." said Zenon with a smile.
"But, I thought you wanted to break up with me for Aaron." said Odd.
"Where in the world would you get an idea like that?" asked Zenon.
"Last night I over heard you, Yumi and Aelita talking. And I heard that when you saw Aaron, you realized your true feelings. So, I thought you loved him and not me." said Odd.
"Look, Odd, I really feel what you and I have is special. When I'm with you, I feel different from how I felt with my other boyfriends. I wasn't sure what this feeling was." started Zenon. "Aaron was my first love and after seeing him again, I remembered how it felt to be in love and I realized that's the same feeling I feel when I'm with you. I love you, Odd."
Odd gives his girlfriend a small smile.
"I love you, too, Zenon." said Odd with a smile.
The two lean in until their lips meet for a kiss.
Wasn't that a nice ending? Anyway, as you all may know, I'm in college now! So my updates may be slower, unfortunately, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this story! Stay tuned for more chapters! Be sure to review, but no flames!
Bye, Sasuki234.
