OMG! I can't believe the good reviews I'm getting. Sweet. Without further ado, we begin our chapter.
Jeremy gazed at the computer at the factory. It had been about a week since the gang had made friends with Tara. Earlier that day Aelita had contacted Jeremy and told him that she had to tell him something. He got the gang together and they all stood around the super computer.
"So, what is all the fuse about?" Ulrich asked Jeremy and Aelita. Aelita appeared on the computer screen. She had a worried look on her face.
"I have detected some movement from Xana." She explained. "I think that he is trying to plan something very powerful."
"So what does that have to do with us?" Odd asked.
"We need to get a stronger offense against Xana if he decides to launch an attack." Jeremy said sternly.
"How do we do that?" Yumi questioned.
"I don't know." Jeremy admitted.
"Well, how powerful is Xana getting?" Ulrich asked.
"He is tripling his power as we speak," Aelita informed. "Soon he will be more powerful than any one of us." While everyone started to come up with plans, Odd stood in a corner, thinking really hard on something. This has almost never happened.
"I've got a plan." He finally said. "What if we find a new player to help us?"
"That's crazy!" Jeremy protested. "We can't find a new player."
"Why not?" Yumi asked.
"Because, Lyoko only has four characters, if we send someone new to the system then who knows what they would turn out to be in Lyoko." Jeremy explained. "Besides, who could we recruit?"
"It has to be someone who we can trust." Ulrich said.
"How about Tara?" Yumi suggested. "She seems trust worthy."
"Yeah, let's ask her." Odd agreed. "She gave me her cell phone number last week; we could call her over here tomorrow."
"We could try the idea Jeremy." Aelita said. Jeremy sighed.
"I guess we could try it." He replied. "Call her over here for tomorrow." Odd nodded and reached for his cell phone.
Tara sat on her bed and grabbed her diary. For the past week Tara had tried all she could to be near Odd. She sat next to him at lunch, she changed almost all her classes to his, and she even gave him her cell phone number so he could call her if he ever wanted to go out on a date. Now all she could think about was Odd. It was about 8:00 p.m. and Tara was just about to fall asleep when all of a sudden, her cell phone started to ring. Tara grabbed her cell phone and answered it. "Hello." Tara said.
"Hey there dragonfly." Odd's voice said cheerfully through the phone. Tara's heart beated faster and faster. "I wanted to ask you something."
"Yes?" Tara asked hopefully.
"I wanted to take you somewhere very special." Odd said. "Can you meet me in the woods after school?"
"Sure." Tara answered.
"Could you make sure that you come alone, it will be our little secret, okay." He said sweetly.
"Okay." Tara replied.
"Great, can't wait to see you there, bye." Odd finished before he hung up. Tara turned off her phone and near screamed with joy. She jumped into her bed and jotted down the entire conversation in her diary. Finally she would go on a date with Odd. Maybe he did have feelings for her after all. Before she went to sleep, Tara made sure that nothing would happen that would ruin the feelings she had for Odd. If only she knew that she was terrible wrong. When it came to the date and when it came to protecting she and Odd.
Poor Tara if only she knew. Hey I've got a challenge for you, my faithful readers. See if you can guess what happened to Tara two months ago. Who ever gets it right will be mentioned in the chapter that reveals the truth. Also, ask questions if you want. Some might not be answered though due to keeping a secret. Until next time, peace to the Middle East, bathe the whales, and pay the hobos.
