Chapter 3 The Heist

The gang stood on the roof of the school, all clad in black crime gear.

"I feel as if I were about to go on a heist," Aelita commented, putting a black coiled rope over her shoulder.

"What do you think we're doing, idiot?" Sissi retorted, tying her black boots that she liked to pretend had black hearts on them that you just couldn't see.

"HEY! DON'T CALL MY WOMAN AN IDIOT!" Jeremie protested, putting on black-rimmed glasses that looked exactly like his old glasses except they were in the Criminal's Closet so they were somehow cooler. Yumi slapped Sissi again.

"Why did you slap me, bitch?!"

"Don't call Jeremie's woman an idiot!"

"OH YEAH?!"

"YEAH!"

Ulrich walked in between them and shook his head. They were so madly in love with him that they instantly obeyed. This made Herb really angry. Nicholas was also angry because if Herb and Nicholas weren't angry at the same time, the world would blow up. Ulrich coolly walked back over to Jeremie and Odd.

"See how easy it is when a bunch of girls are madly in love with you but they have no idea why but it fits with the plot so the writers keep it in the script?" he whispered. Odd nodded 'deeply'.

"Yeah, I know how it is," he agreed.

"…No you don't!"

"Yes I do!" Odd said, pulling over a television set and putting in an episode of Code: Lyoko. He fast-forwarded to a part where girls were talking about how cute he was. "See?"

He let the TV slide off of the roof and a cat screeched and trashcans fell over for no particular reason.

"Come on, people, let's get this gravy locomotive moving in a forward direction!" Jeremie said, walking past everybody towards the roof of the administrative building.

"Geek," Herb mumbled, as he followed Sissi and Nicolas in the frigid night air. Unbeknownst to them, but knownst to us, they were being watched.

"That's right, kiddies," XANA said in his Evil Jeremie voice, watching them from a security camera. "Go along with your little plan. But unbeknownst to you, I have an evil plan of my own! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"We can hear you, you know!" Yumi said.

"Oh, darn it! I forgot to turn off the 'they can hear me' mode!" complained XANA. The kids heard a click as XANA flipped a switch inside.. wherever he was.

"Okay," said Odd. "Let's get back to going to steal stuff again."

A glass skylight was broken open and the shards flew everywhere. Ulrich descended into the room, held up by one of those trademark descend-into-random-place-through-the-roof things that he bought on eCrime, as cool super spy music played in the background via The Background Music Player that was always secretly following them around disguised as a performing circus bunny. He made sure there were no lasers on the floor, and he flipped himself down onto it. Ulrich signaled that it was okay, and the others followed after him.

"Now where are we supposed to get the money from?" whispered Sissi. Ulrich looked at her like she was extraordinarily stupid.

"Don't you know?" he asked.

"…No…"

"THE SAFE! That's where the money ALWAYS is! And to think you're his daughter," Ulrich remarked, shaking his head as he looked around for the safe.

"And where exactly is The Safe?" asked Aelita.

"…That one I don't know."

Everyone decided it was time to stare at Ulrich.

"What do you expect? It's not like I've robbed this place before."

This time, Odd was looking at him like he was extraordinarily stupid. He walked over to the painting of the bowl of fruit and flipped it open, revealing a safe that was hidden behind it.

"Now, Ulrich, I'm surprised at you!" he said in a loud whisper. "The Safe is ALWAYS behind the painting!"

Suddenly, those two girls that were in Odd's music video walked up to him.

"Oh, Odd, you're so smart and sexy!" they said, throwing their arms around him.

"Ladies, ladies, please! Another time!" Odd said, grinning and backing away. They walked off giggling. Just then, Samantha appeared in an apron, holding a spatula in her other hand, looking pretty pissed off.

"And what was that?" she asked, tapping her foot. Odd sort of jumped back in surprise.

"What? Th-that? Ohh, that was nothing! Nothing!" he stuttered, beginning to blush.

"Oh, I see how it is. I work all day, slaving in front of a hot microwave and this is the thanks I get?! Do you think Junior appreciates you just going out on your little heists with your little friends and then drooling around all those other women?!"

"Not now, Sam! I'm a little busy here! And we're not married, remember?" Odd held his hand to one side of his mouth and whispered to Samantha, looking back nervously as if he were afraid someone would see.

"A little busy, he says!" she muttered to herself, walking out of the room.

"Ok, then," said Jeremie. He walked over to the safe and stared at it for five seconds.

"Aelita! Come over here!" he beckoned. Aelita walked over to him.

"What?"

"I need you to do your little silly thing and sing at this and make it open," Jeremie answered.

"OKAY!!"

Aelita stood in front of The Safe and concentrated for a moment, then, she fell to her knees and sung her meditative chord as loudly as she could at the lock in a position that looked suspiciously like something that should not appear in a PG-13 fic. Just as Jeremie thought, the door swung open, and so much money poured out that it buried Aelita.

"Oh, no! Aelita!" Jeremie said, coming to her rescue and digging through the pile of money. "She drowned! NOOOOOOO!!! Oh, wait. That was just a hamster."

Aelita surfaced and coughed out change.

"AELITA! You're safe! YAY! LET'S BOOGIE!"

The room suddenly shifted into a club with a light-up dance floor and a disco ball that descended from the ceiling. The Background Music Player, which was hanging out eating pizza, jumped up and started playing upbeat dance music.

"JEREMIE! AELITA! Stop freaking! We have to steal the Important Item!" shouted Yumi.

"What would that be?" Jeremie asked in all seriousness, once the dance floor had disappeared. He looked at Ulrich.

"Uh…" Ulrich said. "A key? Yes, a key! A key to the Gate!"

"You mean THIS KEY?!" said a voice. Everyone turned to see XANA in his EJ form, holding a key up and ginning menacingly.

"Er… yes. Thank you." Ulrich took the key, while looking suspiciously at XANA. "Why are you here again?"

"Because it's my Evil Plan! To give you the Key so you wouldn't have a chance to steal it! Isn't that ingenious? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" he laughed, disappearing into a cloud of XANA smoke and flying out the window.

"Alrighty-then. What next?" Yumi said, turning to Ulrich.

"STOP LOOKING AT ME! Just because I'm a criminal mastermind doesn't mean I know everything!" he shouted.

"SHHHH!" everyone shushed. Ulrich put his hands in his pockets and grumbled as they collected the cash and walked out of the building.
