Disclaimer: Who ever even said I owned Code: Lyoko? Whoever started thayt rumor will pay…..Thanx for the review. Yeah…..I had trouble deciding whose kid was whose…..I figured Odd should have a girl as payback…..Am I not evil? Anyway, if you understand Spanish, I didn't really mean for Mania to be rude….All right, you caught me.

Mania: (rolls eyes)Hey, it's Spanish. Such a fun language! And Italian…And Greek.

Justin: So what did you say?

Mania: You will never know.

A blood-red rose

Christine's P.O.V.

The forest was so beautiful…….But what I was interested in was the chance to be able to think. As I watched the birds and walked between the trees, I remembered my mother's words. On her thirteenth birthday, he began the lessons…..I shivered and pulled my cloak closer to her body. He left her a red rose tied with a black ribbon….. I thought I heard something behind me…..There was a clearing ahead and I ran to it so I could see what was going on. As I stepped into the middle, I saw something in the grass. I picked it up. It was a blood-red rose tied with a black silk ribbon…..

"No, it-it can't be….." I breathed as I stared at the rose. I saw something move in the shadows, in front of me and behind me. I gripped the rose and I felt a thorn break my skin. I drop of blood slid down my hand and dripped to the ground. I turned to look in one direction and I felt someone touch my arm. I couldn't help it…..I fainted. Right into the arms of some guy.

Mania's P.O.V.

I didn't know anyone else was in front of me…..I guess I should have, considering what a beautiful day it was. I saw someone standing in a clearing and thought it was someone else…..Not the snob. When she fainted and that guy caught her, I ran up to see if she was okay. I'll bet she hates the school already……..I mean, it's already the first day and she's had a bad case of nerves. Then I saw the way he was staring at her and I knew she needed me around to keep her safe…..I mean, as a girl.

"This is my roommate, move aside." I told the guy. He looked surprised, like no one ever bossed him around. I rolled my eyes and pushed him aside. What was her name again? Oh, yeah, Christine.

"Christine, wake up. Christine!" I told her.

"Oh, yeah, telling her to wake up is sure going to help." He said sarcastically.

"Cayete la voca!" I snapped. A few years ago, I found a website in Spanish…..I was bored so I learned the language. I don't think he understood me….All the better, I would have gotten in trouble for saying rude things in another language. I smacked her cheek. That woke her up. Unfortunately, it also made her scream.

"Who are you!" She said indignantly.

"I'm your roommate. My name is Mania Belpois. Welcome to Kadic." I said with a grin.

Justin's P.O.V.

All right, I was following her. You can't blame me. I mean, she didn't even notice me, so who was it hurting. She started walking faster and I thought she'd heard me…..So I figured it was the perfect opportunity to talk to her. But then she came to a clearing and stopped suddenly. She leaned over and picked something up just as I took a step forward. I drop of blood fell from her fingers and I touched her arm. She fell right into my arms. I think she fainted. Anyway, I caught her and slowly put her on the ground. Then this other girl with blinding pink hair walked up and kneeled next to her.

"Christine, wake up." She said in the girls'-Christine's- ear.

I was annoyed at her for spoiling the moment.

"Oh, yeah, that's gonna wake her up for sure." I guess it was a little rude….But then I'm assuming she cussed at me in another language-Spanish?-anyway, then she slapped Christine which made her scream…..

"Who are you?" She asked the other girl.

"I'm your roommate, my name is Mania Belpois." Mania? replied.

"Who are you?" She asked, turning to me.

"J-J-Justin Stern." I said, my face turning red.

"Wait a minute," Mania said, staring at me, " Stern? As in, Ulrich Stern?"

"How do you know my Dad's name?" I asked, surprised. How could she?

She just started laughing. It was really rude. I mean, big deal, my Dad's name is Ulrich. It's more common than Mania. Then I hear more footsteps. I sighed again. They must have heard Christine scream….This was becoming a real party.

Emily's P.O.V.

While I was sitting in his lap, and we were both blushing 'cus, well, I was sitting in his lap. Then I heard someone's scream coming from the forest. I jumped up and started running.

"Are you coming?" I asked him. He was on his feet already and still staring at me.

"Y-yeah." He whispered. I hadn't actually heard him talk before. I took off running, knowing he was behind me somewhere. He was breathing really hard and it wasn't that hard to hear him. I saw a clearing ahead and people there. There was a girl in a black dress, a boy in green and tan clothes and another girl dressed in all white. That's pretty dumb. I mean, she's kneeling in the dirt and her clothes were gonna get stained. Oh, well. She'll still be pretty distinct. I mean, I thought my hair was different. This chick could light up a room if she wanted to. Anyway, I walked up to them and the girl with the pink hair and the boy were glaring daggers at each other. I figured I'd better step in before someone got hurt.

"Hi." I whispered. They didn't hear me. "Hi." I said again. This time they all heard me. They turned to look at me.

"Hi." The boy said, glaring at me, too.

"Um….My name's Emily Della-Robbia." I said nervously. They didn't seem to be very friendly.

"Wait, Della-Robbia? As in, Odd Della-Robbia?" The boy asked me.

"How did you know my dad's name?" I asked him.

"I don't know….." He frowned, " But I know I've heard it before somewhere……"

The girl with the pink hair stood up and brushed herself off.

"I'm Mania Belpois. And this," She said pointing at the girl in black, " Is Miss Christine Daae, and Justin Stern." She said, growling a bit on 'Stern'. Something told me that these two didn't get along well. I heard the other guy walk up behind me.

" You'll never guess what I found." He said to me, not noticing anyone else.

"Not if you don't tell me." I replied.

" I thought it was just a sewer entrance but it leads to this old Factory….."

"Let's go look at it." Mania said, still trying to dust herself off.

"I mean, we don't have anything better to do." I said to him, "Wouldn't it be neat to find somewhere no one else knows about?"

Tyler's P.O.V.

I didn't expect them all to want to go. Especially not the girl in the dress. I just wanted some time with the girl with indigo hair. How could I not have asked her name yet? Anyway, they all wanted to go so I had to let them. I pulled the manhole top up…..It was rusty like no one had looked at it for a while. There were stairs going down and we all went down the stairs. There were three skateboards and two scooters the girlin the dress smiled at the skateboards and picked up the black one.

"Who do you think this belonged to?" she asked the other boy-I need to learn these peoples' names! He flipped it over and we saw the writing on the bottom.

"It says……Yumi." He said in a surprised tone of voice.

"I don't know who that is." I said to him.

"But I do……" He says back to me.

"Wait, you mean Yumi Ishiyama?" The girl with pink hair walked over to look at it.

"What is my Mom's skateboard doing here?" He whispered.
