"Hey Yumi! How's everyone doing?"

"Fine Odd!"

"Great, we're almost there! Careful Aelita." Odd hoped off the log and helped his friends down. "Ok Aelita, go!" She slowly stepped through the tower as a sense of calm washed over her. She walked onto the platform as the rings lit up, one by one.

"So Sissy how did you like your first day of being virtual?" Yumi laughed. "I remember how weird it felt on my first day. Get ready to go back in time." Sissy was surprised at how nice Yumi sounded. Maybe she doesn't hate me after all.

"Code Lyoko flashed onto the screen inside the tower as Jeremy hit the enter key. "Return to the past...."

Odd hoped Sissy was waiting for him. He walked through the trees to the spot where he had seen her before. She was leaning up against one and starring straight ahead. Relief washed over him, but was quickly replaced by a new rush of nervousness. Yes! I mean no! I mean... Oh man, what do I say to her?

She looked to her right and stepped out in front of him. "Umm...hey."

"Yeah hey." Odd laughed nervously, but it sounded more like a choke. "Well at least I won't be falling on you this time! He he he....um..."

Sissy's face turned angry. "Oh yeah and who say's you're not?"

"Huh?"

"Urg. Do I have to spell everything out for you?" She grabbed his shoulders and yanked him down on top of her. Odd's eyes grew wide and Sissy arched an eyebrow. A sudden impulse clouded his mind and he knew there was something he had to do.

Sissy blushed and looked away, but Odd reached out and turned her face back to him. They held each other's gaze for a moment, then Odd closed his eyes and leaned forward. Their lips parted slightly then interlocked together as their mouth connected and became one. Their tongues met and seemed to embrace each other in the sudden warmth.

I hope I know what I'm doing...

Oh my gosh. He's better than Ulrich...

Odd took Sissy's head in his hands and combed his fingers through her hair as he pressed his lips deeper, intensifying the kiss. She ran her nails over his chest sending shivers of pleasure throughout his body.

They paused for a moment to catch their breath. Odd began kissing Sissy's neck as she gasped and breathed harder. He leaned in again as he slipped his tongue in and out of Sissy's mouth enjoying the warmth and taste. He forgot how inexperienced he was and let his tongue take control. They completely forgot everything but themselves and the sweet kiss they were sharing.

"Hey! What are you kids doing on the ground?" A harsh voice jerked Sissy and Odd back to reality. They broke off from each other and looked up. Their entire class had huddled around them to stare. Some had looks of disgust on their face, others shock, and a few were smiling, wide eyed and excited. Sissy glanced at everyone and a look of horror crossed her face.

When my father finds out I'm dead!

Odd developed a dark blush and got off of Sissy. "Hey, you guys aren't gonna tell anyone, are you?" Emily giggled. "Heck no, this has been the best thing that's happened around here for months!"

Sissy suddenly heard footsteps behind her. "Odd its Jim!"

He looked at the overweight P.E. teacher racing towards them. "You wanna make a run for it?" Odd held his hand out to Sissy and she took it with a squeeze. "Alright let's go! Excuse me, look out, don't mind us were just running for our lives."

'You kids get back here now! This is not a makeout party it's the school grounds! Get back here! Yeah, I saw you slobber all over the principal's daughter Odd! You can run but you can't hide from me! Ha ha ha!

He led Sissy around people and trees as she laughed and ran faster to keep up. They crossed the frame of the door and entered the school. They stood there panting as Odd began to laugh. "Well there's another boring day gone." Sissy smirked. "Maybe not."

She walked up to him and put her hand on his chest acting like she was going to kiss him. Odd closed his eyes but Sissy laughed and pushed him into a nearby container of cleaning chemicals, washrags, and mops. He stumbled back and ran right into it. Bleach went flying and a lump of it landed on his purple shirt staining it white. Bottles clanked as they hit the floor and one of the mops landed right on Odd's head. An angry janitor appeared. Sissy ran down the hall and turned the corner but her laughter carried back to his ears.

"Sissy wait!" he got to his feet and began limping down the hall with the bucket still stuck on his foot. It made clanging sounds every time he took a step. Students peeked their head around the classroom door to watch him pull at his foot in exasperation and fall on his butt.

Jeremy, Yumi and Ulrich had seen the whole episode, kiss and all, from a great spot. The tree right above the place where Odd had "slobbered all over the principal's daughter." When everyone cleared out they hoped down from the branches.

"Where did Odd learn to kiss like that?" Yumi looked stunned.

"I think he was making it up as he went along."

"Oh common Ulrich, they weren't that bad together."

"Jeremy's right. I thought they were kinda cute." She snickered.

Ulrich stuck his hands in his pockets as they walked. "It won't last." Yumi frowned.

"Why do you say that?"

"Some relationships are just short term." She saw the beginnings of a smile on his face. He turned to her and she caught his gaze. "But others..." he said softly as he stared at her, "But other relationships are forever Yumi, others are forever."

The End

Until part two...
