A/N Ok guys in case you haven't noticed yet I changed the end of chapter 2. So before you read chapter 3 go back and read chapter 2. I wasn't planning on changing it but.......well there's this guy I know. And he wouldn't quite bugging me about how it was "nasty." And he finally got to me. I went back and read it and to tell you the truth I cringed. So I changed it for 3 reasons. It really was too nasty (for me) it just came out of the blue and didn't match the rest of the story, and I decided I didn't want them to get that involved yet. It was too early. So I publicly apologize to God, this guy and to you the readers for making an idiot of myself. I'm really sorry if you liked it better the other way but I actually rewrote it pretty well I thought. Ok enough repentance mush.........

About this chapter....to be honest I think it is a piece of crap. But it was necessary to be put in this story. It's not really bad... it just doesn't satisfy that feeling to know "what comes next?" I was going to have Ulrich and Yumi in this chapter....and I did....but by the time I was done writing it all the chapter was way too long.....so I split it up. Ok guys enjoy! A/N

Odd slammed the cell phone back into its container at his belt. Stupid work...I actually had a good thing going there for a minute...before those idiots called...He starred into the mirror on the bathroom wall as his eyes went out of focus. He saw in his mind a girl and a boy of about 13 or 14. They were running down the side of a spiral shaped path that circled down into a pit of empty white death...

The roachsters were following Odd. He turned around and blasted them with several Laser arrows. He took out three of them and one fell over the edge of the path. A sudden piece of rock tumbled down towards Aelita and she fell backwards into the pit. "Ahh No!" she helplessly reached upwards grasping at the air as she fell. Oh crap! I have to save her!

Odd made two giant leaps down the side of the pit and caught her in mid air. She clung to him and cried out in fear. He reached one paw up and caught it in the dirt. He dug his claws into the earth and hoped he had enough strength to hang on. His arm ached and his claws felt like they would rip out of his paw any minute. They began to slow down and finally stopped. Odd breathed a breathe of relief. Aelita dangled from one paw. Their fingers had somehow intertwined when they fell. "We can't leave you alone for one second can we?"

The scene changed and Odd saw someone waving at him...

"Welcome to our world! Hey Odd, Odd!" Aelita raised a hand in greeting. But he wasn't listening. What the crap? The ground is splitting!

An earthquake shook the desert ground and a line divided the ground right behind Aelita's foot, in half. "Ahh!" She flailed her arms trying to catch her balance. Odd ran towards her as fast as he could. He wrapped his fingers around her wrist and pulled her back. Aelita fell onto her palms and hovered a few inches over Odd. Gosh she's beautiful. Shut up! Now isn't the time to be thinking about that.

"Ok let's go to work Aelita." Oh gosh that didn't sound right. Aelita smiled. "Thank you Odd."

The colors of sand turned to the colors of ice. Odd stared and remembered two activated towers this time...

Once again he shot a Laser arrow at one of waspter attacking them. Aelita stood dumb founded before the two towers, trying to decide which one was the right one. She didn't notice the monsters behind her. "Get down!" Odd was beside her in a flash and throwing both of them onto the ice. My gosh it feels great to have her under me. "Aelita you gotta choose one of the towers now. I can't hold them off much longer." Without a flicker of emotion passing her face she answered. "Uh huh...ok." Good grief does she not realize I just jumped on her? Does she not know how much I like her?

Odd quickly remembered where he was. He broke the trance and splashed some cold water on his face. Grabbing a paper towel he wiped the drops off his skin. Odd paused for a moment and thought about the last flashback.

I guess that's when I really gave up on her. She was just a computer program. Aelita didn't understand love. If she had any feelings for me she wouldn't have known what to do with them anyways. Besides it was obvious Jeremy liked her and apparently she liked him back. Humph. She liked him enough to marry him. And who was I to get in the way? But now...Now I could have a chance with her! Oh geese Odd you stupid ass, you're a married man! You married Sissy, got her pregnant and now there is no way out. Wait a minute... Do I even want out of this relationship? I mean Aelita's got a spouse too...

Odd shook his head and deposited the paper towel in the trashcan. He pushed the door open and walked out. I'm thinking too hard. If something happens...then it does. If not...I still have my wife. And Sissy can be really sweet at times. He grinned. When it's convenient for her.
