"Hey Ulrich, welcome back to Earth."
"I'm sorry Jeremy I just couldn't make it. How's everyone doing?"
"Well, Odd just killed the rest of the monsters and Sissy is almost done helping Yumi. You know she's turning out to be really good on Lyoko."
"Yeah, well she better not tell anyone about it."
"I don't think Sissy would intentionally tattle on us now that she's fought in Lyoko herself."
"Humph."
"Especially since her and Odd seem to be pretty good buddies now." He chuckled.
"Yeah, I know. Poor Odd."
"Poor Odd? I think he's enjoying it." Ulrich watched the green and yellow blocks that represented his friends on Jeremy's screen. They began to run towards the tower. What was happening to his friend? Jeremy seemed to sense Ulrich's sadness.
"Ulrich, just think of it this way. If Sissy and Odd get something going she won't pester you anymore."
"Yeah." Ulrich laughed.
Back in Lyoko..............
"The pulsations are getting stronger. We can't be far way."
"There's the tower, just up ahead."
"Wait." Yumi spread out her fan. "This is too easy. Where are all the monsters? They should be guarding the activated tower."
Sissy began to walk forward. "Oh common. We probably killed all the monsters already. And if we didn't they are probably on their way, so let's hurry and beat them to the tower." Sissy's foot suddenly struck the ground and twisted. She lost her balance, but instead of hitting the ground she passed right through it. The image flickered revealing the void.
"The grounds an illusion! X.A.N.A. tried to trick us!"
Sissy desperately grasped the edge of the cliff. "Odd! Help me!"
Oh no, Sissy! "Hang on!" Odd ran to the cliff and grabbed Sissy's wrist. "Here, give me your other hand!" Odd pulled Sissy up on the ground and she laid there panting.
"That was horrible!" She shivered and pushed herself up with her elbows.
"Are you ok?" Odd looked down at her with concerned eyes.
"Odd I..." She jumped up and clasped her hands around his neck. She buried her face in his chest and her shoulders began to shake. Odd stood there hopelessly confused as to what he should do. She lifted her eyes and pressed her lips to his ear. The warmth of her face against his sent a chill of excitement down his spine, and her words rang in his ears. "Thank you Odd, for saving my life. I won't forget it. I don't know what I would do without you."
"Umm, guys we still have to get Aelita to the tower. Yumi's voice snapped Odd and Sissy back to the real world. They blushed and Sissy let go of Odd.
"I thought they made a cute couple." Odd's blush deepened and Sissy quickly changed the subject. "Well, how are we going to get to the other side?"
Aelita kneeled and folded her hands together. The sound of her voice suddenly penetrated the forest. She held a simple note and a log began to appear in front of them. It stretched over the void to the other side, where the tower was. Aelita stopped and opened her eyes.
"I didn't know you could do that!"
"Ya learn something new everyday, huh? Let's go. I'll lead the way, then Aelita, Sissy and last of all Yumi." They carefully stepped onto the log and slowly began to inch their way forward.
