Finding a Date, and Xana's Trap
A few months had passed and everyone needed a date for the Valentines Day dance. Of course Yumi and Ulrich were going, and Jeremy and Aelita were too. Odd wanted to ask Luna to go with him, but he figured she wouldn't want to, at least not with him. Luna really did want to go with Odd, but she wasn't going to ask him, she felt it was proper for the guy to ask the girl, not the other way around. Sissy was upset she wasn't going with Ulrich, but happy that Theo had asked her. The school was selling bouquets of roses with cards attached. Odd decided he would take a chance, and ask Luna to the dance. He bought a bouquet of 10 blood red roses, and a card with a puppy holding a rose. He wrote in the card
Luna,
I have to get this out, and this seemed like a good idea. Luna I think you are the best thing to ever happen to me, and I have feelings for you far deeper than anyone else could. I was wondering if you would go to the Valentines Dance with me. If not that's ok, I will understand.
Love always,
Odd
Odd then put it in an envelope, tied the envelope to the roses, and handed it back to the cashier. The cashier looked at him and said "Ok, we will have it delivered by lunch today." Odd smiled and walked away. Later that day Luna went up to her dorm (which she like Jeremy did not share with any one) and found inside it the bouquet. She felt so happy that she raced over and picked up the roses, she noticed the envelope and tore it open. Inside was a ticket to the Valentine's Day dance, and Odd's letter. She read the letter, and then put it and the ticket in a safe place in one of her desk drawers. She then raced down stairs to find Odd. She found him and when she did she raced up and hugged him very tight, and kissed him on the cheek. Odd at first was a little confused and then realized that that meant that Luna was going to go to the dance with him. Odd hugged her back just as tight, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and whispered in her ear, "Luna, I love you." Luna replied, "Odd I love you too." The two then walked hand in hand to the lunch table. The rest of the group raised their eyebrows and then realized what had just taken place. Odd looked so happy that he didn't even notice that Herve had walked up behind them, and was beginning to pour milk on Luna's head. By the time any of the group really noticed Herve it was too late. Luna's Beautiful blue silk shirt was covered in milk. Odd looked up and saw what Herve had done. He then got up and asked, "Now was that really necessary?" Herve replied in a clam tone, "Yes." Odd cracked his Knuckles and swung at Herve, hitting him in the right side of his lower jaw, almost breaking it. Sissy Screamed and Herve cried out in pain. "Owwww You bastard! What the Hell was that for? "For pouring milk on Luna!" Odd replied. At this point many students and staff had gathered round. The teachers told odd he should not have done that, but strangely enough gave Herve the punishment. Luna got up, tears in her eyes, and ran towards the dorms. Odd tried to stop her, but she was too quick, so he just ran after her. Odd found her in room after showering. He knocked, and Luna yelled, "Don't come in Odd, I'm naked." Odd simply replied, "Ok my love." Though Odd could not see it, she blushed and quickly got dressed. She walked to her door and opened it, revealing a calm and happy Odd. She looked at him for a minute, then threw her arms around him and kissed him on the mouth, it was a long kiss, and Odd felt like melting right there in her arms. She then let go of him and looked at him with a face of joy and love. Odd then asked, "What was that for?" Luna replied "For standing up for me, its sweet and cute when guys do that. Also for taking me to the dance and not being a total perve and trying to look at me while I was changing." Odd Looked at her and smiled, then embraced her as tightly as he could and kissed her right back.

Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremy, and Aelita began to grow weary of waiting for Luna and Odd to come back, so they went to search for them. Before they could actually find them, a swarm of wasps, bees, spiders, and other potentially dangerous bugs came to the windows. "Oh shit!" yelled Jeremy "we better find them fast, I hope Odd remembered his cell phone." Jeremy whipped out his, and began dialing at a lightning fast speed. "No answer," they all looked worried. "We can't waste anymore time, we've got to get to the factory NOW!" Ulrich exclaimed. The others agreed and they all sped off to the factory. When they got there they slid down the ropes, and much to their surprise found Odd and Luna waiting. "Hey guys! What took ya so long?" Luna and Odd asked in unison. "We were looking for you" the others replied. "Oh well lets go" Odd said. They all entered the elevator and pushed the button, but nothing happened. "Oh no!" they all exclaimed.
