Well, here is the next chapter.The poem by William Blake that I referenced is at the end ofmy profile before the story progress thing, just in case anybody want's to look at it.That line (which I also used in Chapter 1) is great to describe kissing scenes..."eternity in an hour"
Anyway, on to the legal stuff...
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko. I believe I have said this more than twenty times to date, so get it through your head and don't frikkin sue me!
Claimer: I own Ally, and the song"I'm Sorry".
Oh, LadyKyra13, this chapter is dedicated to you! I was waiting for somebody to get it right, and now that you did, I'll continue. 2 more chapters left!

Chapter 4 - I'm Sorry

Normal POV
The dance had started a while ago. Aelita was the DJ, and everybody was having fun.
Everybody except two people. Ally was sitting near the food, snacking and wondering why she hadn't left yet. Odd was standing on the stage, but behind the curtain, nervously pacing back and forth.
"Will it work?"
Ulrich sighed. "Like I said the last 200 times you asked, we'll just have to find out."
Then, they heard Aelita's voice. "Okay. I know all of you like the music I'm playing, but we are going to have something a little different tonight. We have a live band from this school playing now! Everybody please welcome…the Pop-Rock Progressive!"
Everybody walked out onto the stage. As Odd looked at the crowd, the butterflies in his stomach went away, rather than getting worse. He saw Aelita pull off her headphones and stop the mixer. She met Jeremie on the dance floor.
Ulrich switched on the keyboard as Odd plugged in his electric guitar. Yumi pulled the microphone off the stand.
"Is everybody having fun tonight?"
There was a loud chorus of yells. She smiled. She loved working the crowd like this.
"That wasn't loud enough. We should be able to reach the far edge of the city! Now, is everybody having fun?"
The resulting roar was most definitely heard on the other side of town, and all neighboring towns as well.
The band began the first song they ever played, called "Mystery girl." Though nobody knew it, it was a tribute to Aelita.
Ally POV
Well, this is interesting. Ulrich, Yumi, and...the betrayer...are in a band. Maybe I'll just listen to one song.
I was still listening after the fourth one that they played. Yumi began to talk again.
"Okay, we have just one song left. This one is dedicated to Ally Taylor by…well…oh you'll figure it out Ally."
What? I immediately perked up. It was dedicated to me? I listened intently as the song began. It was fast-paced, and everybody was dancing except me.
I was too entranced by the song...
I'm sitting here on a cold, dark night
Wondering what went wrong
I've been waiting for someone like you
Waiting for so long
Then I found you and we had
So, so much fun
But now it's over now it's over
Yeah, now it's done
I'm sorry
It had to end this way
I'm sorry
About yesterday
I'm sorry
But I have to say
I'm sorry
Is that okay?
Something came between us
A crush from long ago
I dug myself into a hole
I'm stuck there with my woe
Now I'm so far down
I don't know what to do
Only one can pull me up
And that one is you
I'm sorry
It had to end this way
I'm sorry
About yesterday
I'm sorry
But I have to say
I'm sorry
Is that okay?
Now I really want you
Now I really need you
I can't live without you
What do I have to live for?
Now I want to hold you
Now I want to have you
Now I want to see you
In love with me once more
I'm sorry
It had to end this way
I'm sorry
About yesterday
I'm sorry
But I have to say
I'm sorry...
Odd took the microphone from Yumi and yelled into it:
BUT I'M HERE TO STAY!
I almost cried as the song ended. Odd said he was sorry…but he had still kissed another girl, right after telling me that he loved me! No, there was no way he really felt that. I looked up at him, and saw what nobody else noticed.
As he packed up his guitar, I saw tears falling freely from his eyes. He finished and walked offstage with the rest of them.
Aelita began to DJ again, and I was left confused, not even hearing the song that she put on.
Did he really love me? Was he mocking me? He did kiss somebody else…but it sounded more like she was kissing him…wait…
I recalled the scene. I'm pretty good at remembering things. I remembered his expression as she kissed him. I remembered his eyes.
Then it came to me. Oh my God! I've been so stupid!
I immediately got up and ran backstage to apologize to him, it wasn't his fault, but he believed it was…
Odd POV
I saw the curtains part as a face poked through. Ally stepped through the curtains with a sad expression on her face.
She came up to me. I held my breath. This was the moment that would make or break this relationship forever…
"Odd…I'm…I'm sorry…"
No…way…
I smiled and managed to unfreeze enough to respond.
"No…it's not your fault…I never should have let her kiss me…"
She stuck out her hand. "So we're even?"
I smiled. "Yeah." Then I pulled her into a tight hug. She wrapped her arms around my neck.
Eventually, we broke apart to the applause of Ulrich and Yumi. They both nodded at each other, then ran off, probably to tell Jeremie and Aelita that our little plan worked.
"So…who is that song by? I didn't recognize it."
I smiled. "Well, you'll know him when I tell you. It was…" I trailed off, pausing for dramatic effect.
She punched me in the arm. "Ow! Hey! What was that for?"
She smiled innocently. "You were taking too long."
"Right…well…it was me."
Her eyebrows rose. "Really?"
"Yeah, I worked on it during all of my free time after Yumi came up with the idea. I'll have to thank her…"
She smiled. "Yes, you will. It worked, I love you again…" She leaned forward slightly as her eyes slid closed.
Our lips met again. It was better than the first time. If she could make me feel this way every day, I would never leave her side again.

Awww…so full of fluff…with a little angst and stuff mixed in...
Anyway, you know what to do. Review!
Oh, did you like my song? You better like it! If I hadn't written it, chapter 2 and on would be entirely different! I wrote the song before I wrote chapter 2, and the entire plot for chapters 2-4 stemmed from that one song! Speaking of which, did I get the lyrics format right?
Adiós, mis amigos, hasta capítulo cinco. Spanish is fun! (Of course, I still want to kill my Spanish teacher…)
