Here is chapter 5! Some events in the last two chapters are similar to the episodes "Revelation" and "The Key." If you haven't seen them, you should probably be able to make sense of this chapter and the next one (which will be the last one) anyway.

So…I DON'T OWN CODE LYOKO! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!

I DO OWN ALLY AND THIS STORY!

Okay, now for the story.

Chapter 5 – Asking The Question

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Ally POV

I pulled away from the kiss when air became an issue. He looked at me with those deep…purple eyes? That's weird…

"Hey Odd, I didn't know your eyes were purple!"

He grinned sheepishly. "Well…yeah, they are…they're really weird…"

I smiled. "I think they're cute. I've never seen natural purple eyes before!"

He just smiled and pulled me into a tight embrace. He whispered in my ear. "I'll always love you."

I just smiled at him. "Me too…" I trailed off, unable to take it any more, and I pulled him into another kiss. Our mouths opened and our tongues battled. It was the best kiss yet, and I knew it would keep getting better.

Odd POV

I woke up in the morning, got up, and stretched. I grabbed my stuff and staggered over to the shower. With any luck, there would be some hot water left, like the day I met Ally.

Nope, no such luck.

I ran back to my room, got ready, and rushed out the door to go to breakfast.

Mmmm…breakfast…

Anyway, back to before. I threw the door open and ran out, only to run smack into Ally. We both fell, and I also slammed into the wall on my way down.

I picked myself up and helped Ally up, smiling at her. We'd been dating for two months, and the school year was almost over.

"I'm not a morning person…" She smiled at that. I liked seeing her smile, after not seeing it for a whole day. It brightened up my day. It was the reason I even got up in the mornings…or at all…

"I can tell. Let's go eat!"

Ulrich POV

Oh…my…God…

It's a massacre…

It's not even XANA's fault! Odd and Ally freaking devoured their food (and their seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths…) in five minutes, three times today!

What's worse is that there are now two of them! It just hit me now. There are two hyperactive, overeating, absolutely crazy people running around!

Anyway, enough mourning the loss of food to the two black holes. Jeremie walked in and sat down next to us. Aelita followed him. I was seriously considering just locking the two of them in a room until they confessed their love to each other, but knowing them, they would find a way to talk of everything but that for hours on end.

Now I really know how Odd felt about me and Yumi.

Ally POV

Well, I woke up today to find everybody gone. All five of my friends were gone, probably "checking on something" again that I wasn't allowed to find out about.

It's most likely just something stupid. Some sort of club or something dumb that you have to be initiated into. Whatever. I occupied my time by drawing pictures of the gang. First I drew a few of all of us. Then I drew two for each of the couples, including Jeremie and Aelita, who were basically a couple anyway. Then I drew a picture of just Odd.

Then I drew another, and another, and another…

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

They all came back just in time for lunch. They refused to tell me what was going on, but they had some strange expressions. Aelita looked sad, Jeremie was trying to comfort her. The others looked like they had been though a huge ordeal.

When they arrived, Jeremie mentioned something to Aelita about a virus that was given to her actually being something that was taken away from her. Then he noticed me.

"Uh, we're talking about…her computer virus. It's taking files and…uh…slowly deleting them…" He trailed off.

"Yeah, right. Would you guys please explain to me where you disappear off to all the time? It's getting annoying!"

Jeremie sighed. "Sorry, we really can't tell you. We will after we're finished, probably later today."

All four of the others perked up. "Huh?"

"Yeah! I forgot to mention it, but I located the…uh…" He glanced at me. "…the missing thing…in…Carthage…"

Ulrich smiled. "Ready for a final mission?"

Aelita stood up suddenly and shoved her try forward. "Out of the question!" She ran out. Jeremie sighed and ran after her.

The rest of us left as well, only half-listening to Jim's speech about the upcoming dance.

Suddenly, William came and pulled Yumi away, asking to talk to her. Ulrich clenched his fists and stared after her, gritting his teeth.

This situation could get a bit explosive. I winked at Odd and snuck over to where Yumi and William were talking.

I chanced a glance back at him, and saw him looking at me with a confused expression.

Odd POV

What is she…oh…hehe…

I hope to God that Yumi says no. Of course, she finally knows that Ulrich loves her…so…

I'm so confused…

I see Sissi walk up and somehow I know what is about to happen. No, it's not my Lyoko power. Every time Sissi walks up, it's always…

"Ulrich, will you go to the dance with me?"

I tap him on the shoulder, whispering quietly. "Don't do it. You know Yumi loves you. For the love of God and everything good, just say no."

He sighed. "Uh…can I get back you? I don't know…"

Sissi POV (A/N: Eh, I felt like it…)

He didn't insult me? He didn't say no?

I can't believe it! For once in my life he was being nice to me! Just for once, he didn't say something unbearable mean or rude about me!

I nodded and smiled, walking away. I looked back to see him chatting with Yumi.

Of course. He wants to go with Yumi. He'll ask her, and come running to me when she says no. Since she was just asked by William, she's not going to say yes.

She won't!

Ally POV

Yumi refused William, and was promptly asked by Ulrich. She, of course, accepted.

Why did he bother asking? They have been dating since before I got here! Of course they would go to the end-of-the-year dance together!

Odd and I are already going…so that just leaves Jeremie and Aelita.

Odd went to talk to Jeremie, and I talked to Aelita.

"Okay, if Jeremie listens to Odd, he's going to ask you out to the dance soon, alright?"

"Okay."

"And you'll say yes, right?"

"Of course! I love…um…I mean…"

They're hopelessly in love, but denying it to everybody. That sounds just like the rest of us a while ago! They'll fit in just fine!

"Don't worry, I know you love him."

"Is it that obvious?"

I smiled. "Yeah. It's also obvious that he loves you too. You just have to tell each other."

Don't have much to say, except that the next chapter is the last one…so…yeah…
