"Guys I love you a lot" Tanzi told Odd and Yumi, "I love Ulrich and Jeremy too. I may act like a jerk a lot, and invincible jerk, but I want you to know, I do it for you" She started crying again as she looked up at her friends faces, "And when I go back, tell Ulrich I don't think he's a bastard" She closed her eyes so she could about why she really wanted to come to Kadic. Soon after she fell asleep.

"Um sir? Why is it taking so long to get to the hospital?" Yumi asked the guy sitting next to the driver

"There has been a horrible wreck and we can't get through" He replied, "How did this happen to her?"

"She and our friend were playing soccer and they got really mad a it turned out like this"

"I don't think soccer could do this to her"

"I'll tell him Yumi, well she was sent to Juvi for something she didn't do, and talked them in to making a soccer team, and they played our school, and our friend seems to think she is guilty of the crime she was convicted of and they pretty much had a war."

"How'd the other turn out?"

"Scratched face and some sore legs, nothing more"

"One strong girl did this to her, that's for sure"

"Actually it was a guy, it was a co-ed game. Guy team v. Girl team"

ULRICH:

"I'm calling them!" Ulrich yelled to no one in particular as he dialed Yumi's number, "Yumi? How's everything?"

"We're stuck behind a wreck and we can't get Tanz to the hospital, she's out cold, and we don't know what to do!"

"Where are you exactly?"

"About a mile east of my house, on Cherry Street"

"Hold on please"

About 20 minutes later a helicopter showed up telling them to put Tanz into it

HOSPITAL:

"Odd? Yumi? Where are you?" Tanz woke up in an empty room and she sat up quickly, sending pain through her stomach and arm, "Someone?"

"Awake finally" a passing nurse started, "You're friends will be here in a minute"

"Yumi Odd!" Tanzi cheered as they entered the room, "Ulrich"

"Tanz" She turned away, "I'm sorry" He looked at the ground, "I shouldn't have let this get in the way of our friendship" Tanzi started crying, "Don't cry! Please I like it when you laugh, we all do!"

"I'm sorry Ulrich, but I can't forgive you" Her eyes watered up so much her vision was blurred, "I just can't. Look at where our friendship has put me!"

"I-I know I'm a jerk"

"She is my girlfriend Ulrich, back off!"

"Shut up Odd! I can't see why you would forgive me but I want you to know that your are important to me, not like that, I mean important to me in a friend way. You are a special girl, and if you never want to see my face again I'll have to live with it" He turned his back and walked out of the door

"Ulrich wait!" Tanzi called out, "Stay please I may not want to, or be able to forgive you, but you leaving won't help" She tried to cheer up, but the position she was in kept her from it, "One day you'll be a friend in my eyes again, and that day won't be soon but, it will happen."

"It's okay to be angry and never let go
It only gets harder the more that you know
When you get lonely if no one's around
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down
We came together but you left alone
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend" Ulrich turned on the radio he brought, "Cheesy I know but I couldn't think of anything else"

"I remember that! I was singing it walking around the school grounds!" Tanz had a sudden excitement burst, and even though she didn't feel like it, she let off one of her signature giggles.

"That's more like it sweetie!" Odd cheered while Yumi and Ulrich smiled in the background. Tanz got up and walked over to Odd Yumi and Ulrich and pulled them into a hug, even though it hurt her arm and stomach she pulled them in tightly and gave Odd a kiss on the cheek"

"What are you doing out of bed!" Another passing nurse yell at Tanz, "GET BACK IN BED!!!" She did as she was told.

"Crap! I hate this room! I've been here for at least two hours and I bet they haven't even checked to see if everything was ok." She started pushing the doctor button. And when he showed up she started yelling, "HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN HERE? AND HAVE YOU EVEN CHECKED IF I WAS OK!?!?!?!?"

"You're friends are here!"

"So, in Gym they've seen more of me then they would if I didn't have a shirt on!"

"Fine! If you want us to look at you while your friends are here!" He went over to her, and she took her shirt off and went to sleep.

"Wow Ulrich, you pulled a number on her" Yumi stated looking at the x-ray of her arm, "The bones in her arm are shattered. And her stomach is a bloody pulp!" Yumi looked over at the doctors trying to stop the blood flow.

"I know" He shook his head in regret.

"I trust you three" Odd was silent in the background, "To help her. Her arm is shattered, she has a serious concussion, her stomach is going to be sore for a couple of weeks, and she might need help considering her legs and back took a terrible beating." The doctor told them, "She took a beating, she may not remember some things at first, like things she learns in school, but it will come back, if you help her"

"GUYS" Jeremy ran in to the room, "SHE'S BEEN CLEARED!!!"

"What"

"Tanzi has been cleared, it was a suicide! The man just happened to have gotten some of her hair caught on his jacket zipper a couple hours before!"

"So she is coming back to Kadic?"

"Looks like it!"

"Alright!" Odd yelled as he started to do a victory dance, "In your face Ulrich! She's coming back!"

"Who's coming back?" Tanz woke up

"You! You've been cleared!" She giggled and this time she meant it as Jeremy told her this, "Congratulatory, Dr. Pepper for everyone!" He ran out of the room to go get five Dr. Peppers.

"This is not a joke? I'm coming back!" She looked around the room with life in her eyes for the first time in a while

"You're coming back" Odd pulled her in to a tight hug.

BACK AT SCHOOL: (a week later)

"It's great to be back" Tanz and her friends walked around the school attracting a lot of odd stares.

"Looks like the convict weaseled her way out of Juvi" Sissi walked up

"Looks like a horrible experiment went wrong, when someone was trying to get a human, instead they got you" Tanz walked away

"Of all the nerve."

"Looks like Tanz got the upper hand on that one Sis" Ulrich stated as he walked away following Tanz with Yumi, Odd, and Jeremy following him.

"Great job Tanz" Odd cheered when they all got to Tanz's room, only to find it locked and really loud music coming from inside.

"Guys" Ulrich told his friends, "While we were ant Tanz's door I heard one thing, "With the radio on turned up so loud, that no one hears you screaming?"

"Do you think she is trying to hide something from us?" Yumi asked, "I'll call her phone"

All Yumi got was the answering machine, "To be hurt, to feel lost, To be left out in the dark, To be kicked, when you're down, To feel like you've been pushed around, To be on the edge of breaking down, When no one's there to save you, No you don't know what it's like, Welcome to my life! No one ever lies straight to your face! No one ever stabs you in the back! You might think I'm happy, But I'm not gonna be okay!"

"Guys, that's her voice" Yumi's voice trembled, "We've been bad friends, we haven't even noticed"

"She-She feels like that?" Odd's face looked sad, and his voice trembled, "I wonder why she never told us"

"Guys she probably doesn't want to, she doesn't have to tell us everything."

"But how are we supposed to help her if she doesn't trust us enough to tell us things like this" Ulrich asked

"Maybe she doesn't want help"

TANZI:

Tanzi was screaming her head off throwing things around the room breaking random things, 'Thank goodness my radio is so loud' She went over to her radio and turned it up even louder , 'No one needs to hear me it isn't their concern' Her screaming soon turned in to crying, but she continued trashing her room.

'Nothing is going right! I came here to get away from this, but it just followed me!' She was screaming and crying at the same time, but she had stopped trashing the place and was now just sitting on her bed, 'I can't take this, my friends don't care! They haven't even noticed!'

'How can they help if you don't tell them?' The voices were talking to her again, 'How can you expect them to know, if you don't tell them?'

"SHUT UP!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, "JUST SHUT UP! YOU AREN'T HELPING!"

She screamed herself unconscious, and no one would find her.

TEACHERS:

"Some one heard screaming coming from Tanzanite's dorm" Jim told the principal

"Well you go check on her then" He sounded and acted like he couldn't care less

"Right sir" And with that he ran off to Tanzi's room.

"OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" When she didn't open he just rammed the door open, only to find Tanz on the floor, "Tanzanite wake up!"

He picked her up and ran to the infirmary, "Dorothy! Tanzanite needs your help!"

"Alright lay her on the bed" She calmly walked over to the bed, "What happened?"

"I don't know, she was in her room and the principal told me to go get her" Jim started

"What happened?" Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, and Jeremy ran in the room, "Some one told us Tanz's limp form, was rushed out of her room by Jim"

"She's out of it" Jim told them, "Some one heard screaming coming from her room, and the principal told me to check on her, and I found her like this"

"Is somebody trying to hurt her?"

"I don't know"

"We have to do something! We have to keep her under close watch at all times!" Odd yelled

"I think it might be X.A.N.A" Jeremy whispered, "One second sir, Odd come here!"

"What?"

"This might be XANA!"

"No, Tanz isn't his enemy so, therefore it's not him" And he ran back in the room, "I volunteer for first watch!"

"I don't think that is necessary, we'll watch her until about 9 tonight, and then she'll go back to the hospital"

"Are you sure?"

"Sweetie, there isn't much you can do, she was found unconscious with no clues to how it happened" Dorothy told Odd, who turned and walked out

"Odd?" Yumi asked her friend, "Are you going to be ok?"

Odd just kept walking and ignored her this was twice he was unable to protect her.

ODD:

'I screwed this up!' Odd was in his room, 'I can't even keep her out of the hospital for more than three days!'

"Hey Odd" Ulrich walked in to see odd sulking, "Watzamatter?"

"Tanz is going to the hospital again"

"Actually she woke up about five minutes after you left" Yumi walked in

"Really?"

"Yes" Jeremy walked in followed by Tanz, a very silent Tanz, "She doesn't look too well though"

"No she doesn't" Odd replied, almost beside himself, "But she is awake!"

"What happened?"

"Nothing I just used too much energy during the soccer game"

"Sweetie that was a week ago" Odd looked worried, "There is something else!" He looked her straight in her eyes, but she just looked away, giving Odd a full blow from her recent side ponytail.

"Bark, bark"

"No Kiwi" Tanz was speaking to Kiwi again, "Odd he wants biscuits"

"Bark, Bark"

"With extra butter"

"What?"

"Guess work" She got up and walked out of the room, "See you tomorrow"

"It's only 7" Jeremy stated looking at the clock

"I know I have to tutor Sissi" She limped out the door.

"Riight"

TANZI'S ROOM:

"So this is pi?"

"Yes Sissi, it is equal to about 3.14" It was now 10, "How about we finish tomorrow?"

"Sure" Sissi walked out of the room

'Hello bed' and with that she fell asleep before she hit the pillow.

'Mommy! Where is my mommy!' A younger Tanzi screamed, 'Why isn't she out yet? I want my Mommy!' Her house was burning, 'Get my mommy!'

'I'm sorry, we have 16 men looking for her' the fireman that was holding her told her

'NO THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!'

'Sweetie all we can do is hope!' He looked at her with sad eyes, 'You are a cute little girl, do you know how this started?'

'Daddy was cooking'

'Are you sure?' He asked, 'Here come the men'

Tanz broke from his grip and ran up to them, only to find a burned shell of her mother. She broke down, she cried the whole 16 hours that they kept her in the Ambulance.

Tanz woke up breathing harshly, "Why am I having this dream again?" Then her alarm went off, "Time for class" 'I hope it will calm me down'

"Hey sweetie happy Halloween!" Odd pulled out some candy and gave it to Tanz

"I don't have any candy, but" She gave him a kiss

"Wow! You've never kissed me on the lips before!"

"Since we have time, let's put some costumes on!" He pulled out the Lyokan outfits, "Ulrich and Yumi have theirs too"

20 MINUTES L8R:

"Wow" Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, and Tanz walked out at the same time, "We look different in these!"

"Jeremy?" Jeremy and Aelita walked up Aelita in her Lyokan outfit "Why didn't you tell us you materialized Aelita?"

"I wanted to surprise you"

"I feel different wearing this on Earth" Tanz stated looking at her butt, "My butt looks like a mountain!"

"No it doesn't" Odd looked at her oddly, "Now Yumi's"

Yumi slapped him, "What are you talk- HOLY CRAP IT DOES!" She looked at her butt just to check and got a huge wake up call.

"Your face make-up looks good"

"You look like a slut Tanzanite" Sissi walked up, "And who is this?" She looked in disgust at Aelita

"My cousin" Odd replied, "Wow you really are in the Halloween spirit- wait, wait never mind you look like that every day!" Everyone burst out in laughter, except Ulrich who gave Sissi a look that said 'I'll call you later. But now get before something bad happens'

"Class time!" Ulrich, Jeremy, Aelita, Odd, and Tanz ran to class.

IN CLASS:

"As you know today is Halloween, and Ulrich, Tanz, Aelita Our new student Jeremy and Odd are in the Halloween spirit" Mrs. Hertz told them, "Now tell us what you are"

"Samurai"

"Panther-boy"

"Ninja like thing"

"Virus" He gave a hinting look at his friends

"Bubbly warrior girl"

"You mean slut" Sissi laughed in the background. Tanz just gave her two punk signs and a stuck out tongue.

"Sissi that is NOT polite" Ulrich whispered over his shoulders, passing her a note telling him to meet him after class.

AFTER CLASS:

"I'll meet you after lunch" Ulrich told his friends and ran off after Sissi

"Hello Yumi" Tanz walked up with a meal that she had made, "How have you been so far?"

"Great"

"Sissi keeps calling me a slut!"

"Ignore her"

GYM:

"Hello Jim"

"Hello children" He looked around, he didn't make them change, "Today we will do archery"

"Great, I love archery" Odd randomly yelled out

"Hit that target then"

"Laser Arrow" Odd shot a laser arrow and got a bulls eye, "See"

"Tanz"

"Burning Claws"

"Bulls eyes, Ulrich"

"Impact"

"Crud you lot is good! Aelita" Aelita had to use a bow yet she got a bull's eye as well, "Jeremy?"

"Alright" Jeremy took the bow and arrow and shot it also making a bull's eye.

"You five get to work on moving targets now"

After about an hour, destroying all of the targets Jim pulled them aside, "You five are going to be in the international Archery Tournament for Kadic"

"Wha?" They all yelled

"Bring Yumi too" they called Yumi who used her fan to get a bull's eye, "You six are going to bring victory to Kadic"

AFTER SCHOOL:

"We have our powers in these?"

"I didn't know!"

"I don't want to use our powers to win this thing!"

"Archery Tournament? They have one of those for everything!"

"We now are going to be on live TV shooting targets with Lyokan powers!"

AFTER DINNER:

"Tanz want to hold my heir?" 100s no 1000s of guys were swamping Tanz and she following instinct ran to Jeremy's room he too followed her. In Odd and Jeremy's they followed her so she had to run to Yumi's house.

"YUMI! YUMI!" She screamed as she rang the door bell, "YUMI PLEASE ANSWER!"

When Yumi finally answered she got suddenly worried at Tanzi's state, "What's wrong"

"Every guy in the school! Wants me to have their child! EVEN ODD AND ULRICH! I THINK IT"S XANA!"

"ULRICH!"

"SAVE ME!"

"Don't worry. AELITA!" She called out, "Time for a trip to Lyoko, I'll run the calculator and you tow will go to Lyoko"

"ACK MORE GUYS, RUN FOR YOUR FREAKIN LIVES!"
