Hello again, Many thanks for those who told me about Sam and to those who couldn't thanks anyways, I may need your help later. I hope you enjoy chapter four, review and let me know.
Odd smiled at Sam, "You don't know how good it is to see you."
Sam gave him a weird look, "Why what's wrong?"
"Nothing really, just Ulrich in I got into it and Yumi got mad at him and it all went down hill from there. I came to the park to get away from it all. When you showed up. I really needed someone to talk to ."
"Well I'm glad I came then. I'd hate to see you down in the dumps. What time is it? My gosh you skipped lunch didn't you!"
Odd nodded sheepishly, "Yeah I was upset."
"Well come on, the Odd I know can't survive without food, lets go get something to eat."
Odd walked beside Sam thankful for the moment to escape his fears about Lyoko and his frustration with Ulrich.
Soon after speaking to Jeremy, Ulrich came across Yumi and Aelita sitting on the bleachers near the soccer field. As he walked up Yumi whispered to Aelita, she nodded, and got up and headed across the field to where Jeremy was waiting for her. Ulrich walked up the bleachers and sat down next to Yumi. For a while they both set in an awkward silence.
"I'm sorry" They both said at the same time. They laughed and Ulrich told Yumi to go first.
"Ulrich I'm sorry for calling you stupid, I was just mad that you told Odd that he needed protection. I know you aren't stupid and I still like you, I just think you need to talk with Odd and apologize."
Ulrich looked at Yumi. The normally raven eyes that Ulrich loved so much were clouded with tears that Yumi was trying so hard to keep back.
"Yumi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't of said that to Odd and you were right to get on to me. When you said it, I was hurt and ran off. I'm sorry for avoiding you all day. I….."
Ulrich's last words were cut off as Yumi grabbed him in a hug and quickly kissed him. She let the tears flow down her face.
"Wow, I guess that means you forgive me?" Ulrich smiled.
Yumi laughed, wiping the tears away "Of course, now go find Odd and talk with him."
Ulrich got up to look for Odd, as he got to the bottom he turned around.
"Hey Yumi."
"Yeah Ulrich?"
"Thanks"
"For what?"
"For forgiving me, for the advice and the kiss."
Yumi blushed and Ulrich went off in search of Odd.
Jeremy and Aelita looked on the two from across the field. Smiling over another mission accomplished Jeremy gave Aelita a hug. The two walked off towards the dorms glad for a moments peace. As the two entered Jeremy's room his computer started going off.
"Oh not now!" Jeremy ran to check the scan.
"Is Xana waking up again?"
"I'm afraid so Aelita, I'm afraid so."
The two ran to the factory calling Yumi and Ulrich on their way. Jeremy called Odd and got his voicemail.
"Crap I can't reach Odd."
"Well try him once we get to the factory," Aelita said as she helped Jeremy lift the manhole cover off. Ulrich and Yumi arrived as the moved the cover off and all of them ran to the factory.
Odd and Sam were busy eating a late lunch when Odd's phone rang.
"Hold on a minute will you Sam?"
"Sure no problem."
"Hello?"
"Odd this is Jeremy we're all at the factory we need you to come now, Xana just woke up!"
Odd looked at Sam with frustration, "Sam I got to go, my friends need help."
Sam smiled, "I know Odd, they always need help. They rely on you to be their strong one even when times are rough. They need you now."
Odd looked at Sam, How much did his old friend know.
"What are you talking about Sam?"
"I've seen the look in their eyes Odd, I know you are close, they trust you, and they need you now, go I'll see you again."
"When?"
"When you need me," Sam said smiling."
Odd wanted so much to tell Sam about Lyoko and to have another member of the team, but without the others approval he knew it was not a good idea.
"Sam thanks for everything, you are a good friend."
"Sam smiled and walked outside. She blended into the crowd and was out of sight in minutes."
Odd rushed towards the factory unaware of Sam watching from a distance. "I know Odd, I know more than you think, but it's not my place to fight it's yours." With those words whispered to herself she disappeared into the stream of people.
Author Note: This should be fun to see where I take this from here huh?
