InuTenchi: I guess I did it because of that and I did it because I was bored! So um…anyway…I hope you all enjoy this and I would really appreciate it if you would read and review my other story…I've only got two reviews for it so far.

Kitty: Yeah please do…that way I don't feel too ashamed to be her muse…

Kitty: Anyway…I hope that you enjoy the story and please remember to read and review! So…now…on with the story!

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Code Lyoko, the only things that I own are the plot and the characters that are from out of my own mind…not that there is that much of anything in there anyway.

Chapter One: The New Girl

"Hey Odd, did you see that new girl that came in during Mrs. Hertz's class?" asked Ulrich, a boy with chocolate brown hair. He and his best friend, Odd, were walking towards the lunchroom of Cadic Junior High (A/N: I hope that that is what their school is called.).

Flashback

"Attention students! We have a new student joining our class today," stated Mrs. Hertz. "Come on in and introduce yourself to the class." The entire class then turned their heads towards the door and saw a girl step through it.

She had blonde hair that was pulled back in a shoulder-length pony tail and the bluest eyes that one could ever see. She wore blue jeans with a black grommet belt with silver studs on it. She had on a tight black t-shirt with a little hot pink on it and her shoes were black with hot pink on the sides. She smiled nervously and walked to the front of the room.

"Um…hello…my name is Tori Martello and I'm from Houston, Texas. That's in the United States if anyone didn't know that." The girl said shyly. Mrs. Hertz then showed her where her seat would be. It happened to be just two seats away from Odd's.

End Flashback

"Yeah I did. So…I wonder where the guys are," Odd replied while looking around for Jeremy and the others. All of the sudden he sighed desperately and said, "Oh god, look who is coming now."

"Hey Ulrich, could you come here for a minute," called Sissy, the world's most arrogant girl ever. She ran up too Ulrich and grabbed his arm when he wouldn't come on his own. "Ulrich, do you remember that there is a dance on Friday night?" she asked as she leaned her head closer to Ulrich.

"Yeah I remember, now let me go." He replied as he pulled his arm out of her grasp a little. She grabbed it a little tighter and refused to let him go.

"Well…aren't you going to ask me to it Ulrich?" she said with a hint of demand in her voice. Ulrich looked at Sissy like she was nuts.

"No I am not I am going to ask someone, but it will definitely not be you, now let me go Sissy," he said, getting a little mad as he pulled his arm free from her hold.

"Oh…who is it?" she asked as she attempted to grab his arm again, but he pushed her hand away forcefully.

"None of your business," he said. She looked at him with a slightly hurt look in her eyes, but walked away as he turned away from her to go back over to where Odd was waiting. As he made it over there so did Yumi and she looked at him suspiciously. "Oh hey Yumi…" he said nervously. 'Damn…why do I feel so awkward around her?' he thought.

"So…what did Sissy want Ulrich?" she said. She looked at Ulrich as he started to tell her what Sissy had asked him. After he was done then she asked, "Well…what did you tell her?"

"I said that I was not going to because I was going to ask someone else, and then she left," he told her. She looked slightly relieved, but tried to hide how happy she was that he wasn't going to ask Sissy to the dance, she was too slow to hide it from Odd though. Odd then started to snicker loudly. He stopped laughing suddenly when he saw that the girl from science class was walking up to them.

"Hey there, aren't you two in Mrs. Hertz's class with me?" the girl, now known as Tori said, with a slight Texas accent. Odd smiled at her and automatically forgot why he was laughing at Yumi and Ulrich. 'Damn she's hot!' he thought.

"Yeah we are, so…you're from Texas?" Ulrich asked. Tori nodded and that was when she noticed Odd. She smiled sweetly at him and he blushed slightly, but the redness disappeared almost instantly when the ground shuddered rapidly and then a few minutes later Yumi's cell phone began to ring.

She picked it up, saw that it was Jeremy, and then she answered it. "Yes Jeremy…WHAT…not again…ok…I'll get the guys and we will meet you there. OK…bye," she hung up and then she said "Ulrich, Odd, we've got to go now!"

Tori looked at Yumi strangely when she said, "you can't come with us." With that Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd ran towards the park. Tori followed them silently and saw them go down a shaft in the ground. She followed even further and saw them go into an abandoned building that looked like a factory. She went down the elevator and ended up in a room that held a giant computer and she saw what looked like a boy sitting at it so she walked up to him.

"Hello…" she said nervously. The boy looked up and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Um…who are you and how did you get here?" he asked.

"I'm Tori and I followed Odd and his friends to get here…what is this and who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Jeremy, Odd's friend, and this is X.A.N.A, a computer that links our world to the world of Lyoko through the three scanners that are up one level." Jeremy said.

"Um…Jeremy…who are you talking to?" said Odd's voice from out of nowhere. "You need to concentrate on us…Yumi has gotten hit like four times, by a crab, already. How many life points does she have left?"

"Oh she has…holy shit…she only has twenty life points left…if she gets hit one more time then…" he was cut off by Odd.

"She just did and she just got devirtualized…we can't handle these by ourselves…three more are behind us and Aelita's barrier can't hold much longer!" he said, panicking. Just then Yumi walked in and saw Tori.

"Damn…what is she doing here?" she said. Just then Jeremy got an idea.

"She followed you guys in here…so um…Tori…would you like to help us with this?" he asked.

"Um…sure…what do I have to do?" Tori said nervously. Jeremy just smiled and told Yumi to take Tori up to the scanners and show her what to do. Yumi reluctantly did as he said.

When they made it up there Yumi told her to get in to one of the scanners. Tori did so and she heard Jeremy's voice saying, "Transfer Tori, scanner Tori, virtualization!" Tori just shut her eyes and when she opened them again she was in a virtual looking world. She landed on the ground somewhere in a place that looked like the arctic. She walked passed a glassy looking iceberg. It was then that she saw what she looked like.

She had dog ears that were poking out of her hair which had turned black and was pulled back into a pony tail that reached her waste. She had claws and was wearing what looked like black pants with hot pink lighting stripes and a sleeveless black shirt that also had pink lighting stripes on it. On her back she had a quiver of arrows and a bow strapped to it.

She gasped when she saw three other people just a little ways past her. They were fighting some sort of crab things, or at least two of them were, the other was a woman, she was concentrating on an invisible barrier that was blocking three other crabs. Tori ran to help them. When she got there Odd gasped and nearly got hit by a crab. She pulled out an arrow and cocked it in the bow. She pulled back the string and was about to fire when Ulrich screamed over at her, "You need to aim for the thing that looks like an eye on its back!" Tori nodded and aimed carefully at the crab that was closest to her. She let go and hit it right in the eye thing.

"Way to go Tori!" exclaimed Odd as he and Ulrich both destroyed their monsters. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Um…I can't hold this anymore you guys!" exclaimed the girl. Suddenly the other three crabs attacked the group. "I really need to get to that tower!" she screamed.

"OK, Aelita, we will hold them off you just go now!" exclaimed Ulrich. Aelita nodded and ran to the gigantic tower that was glowing red and as she disappeared into it Ulrich got devirtualized, then Odd, and finally Tori. Meanwhile, inside the tower Aelita was putting in the code.

Jeremy then said, "Back to the past now!" and all went white.

Back In the Past

"Hey Odd, there's Tori, maybe we should go say hey to her," said Ulrich, "after all she did help us save the world." Odd nodded and called her over. All of the sudden he sighed desperately and said, "Oh god, look who is coming now."

"Hey Ulrich, could you come here for a minute," called Sissy, the world's most arrogant girl ever. She ran up too Ulrich and grabbed his arm when he wouldn't come on his own. "Ulrich, do you remember that there is a dance on Friday night?" she asked as she leaned her head closer to Ulrich.

"Yeah I remember, now let me go." He replied as he pulled his arm out of her grasp a little. She grabbed it a little tighter and refused to let him go.

"Well…aren't you going to ask me to it Ulrich?" she said with a hint of demand in her voice. Ulrich looked at Sissy like she was nuts.

"No I am not I am going to ask someone, but it will definitely not be you, now let me go Sissy," he said, getting a little mad as he pulled his arm free from her hold.

"Oh…who is it?" she asked disappointedly as she attempted to grab his arm again, but he pushed her hand away forcefully.

"If you really must know…it is going to be Yumi…now leave me alone," he said. She looked at him with a hurt look in her eyes, but walked away as he turned away from her to go back over to where Odd was waiting. As he made it over there so did Yumi and she looked at him suspiciously. "Oh hey Yumi…" he said nervously. 'Damn…why do I feel so awkward around her?' he thought.

"So…what did Sissy want Ulrich?" she said. She looked at Ulrich as he started to tell her what Sissy had asked him. After he was done then she asked, "Well…what did you tell her?"

"I said that I was not going to because I was going to ask someone else, and then she left," he told her. She looked slightly relieved, but tried to hide how happy she was that he wasn't going to ask Sissy to the dance, she was too slow to hide it from Odd though. Odd then started to snicker loudly.

"Oh…really…who are you going to ask Ulrich?" Yumi asked nervously. She blushed deeply when he said that it was her and she did it even more when she said yes, that she would go with him. It was then that he leaned over to her and kissed her briefly on the lips. When he left her lips she looked slightly disappointed, but smiled when Tori came up to them.

"Hey guys! What's going on?" she asked when she saw how much Ulrich and Yumi were blushing.

"Oh nothing Tori, I'll tell you about it later," Odd replied and he and the rest of the group walked back to their rooms where they stayed for the rest of the night.
