Hey everyone, just a side note of good news, I made the baseball team at my college so hooray, on that note, I couldn't sleep cause I'm excited so I wrote this chapter at 2 A.M. Please review and let me know about mistakes, I did write this at 2 A.M.

Ulrich and Yumi entered the cafeteria and went through the line. They paid for their food and headed to a table where Aelita and Jeremy were sitting. The other couple smiled at the sight of their friends.

"So how are you two doing?" Aelita asked.

"We are doing great, and you?"

"Just fine Yumi, just fine." Jeremy answered.

"Hey where's Odd?" Ulrich asked.

"I'm right behind you."

Ulrich jumped and that brought a small giggle from Odd's companion. The others all fixed their attention on the new girl at Odd's side.

"Guys this is Kasey, she just moved here so I'm showing her around." After introductions were made the small group ate and chatted. That was until Jeremy's laptop started to beep a warning that another tower had been activated.

"Oh crap, we need to get to…." Jeremy stopped himself when his eyes caught Kasey.

"We need to go, Odd can you help Kasey move in and we'll keep you updated on the science project."

Odd nodded, disappointed that he was missing a chance to be in his cat form, but happy to spend more time with Kasey. 'Who knows, maybe she can join our group one day' Odd thought as the others ran off to the factory.

"So what kind of science project is it?" Kasey asked.

"Oh the usual kind that require a lot of time and boring measurements. We all missed a lab and have to make it up this weekend."

"Do you need to go, I mean I don't want to get you in trouble."

Odd couldn't help looking into her beautiful eyes. "No, we work as a group so if they sign my name to it no one will know the difference. So how can I help you move in?"

"You have nice friends Odd, and as far as moving in, well I have a lot of boxes that need to be carried up from Jim's office. I had to leave my stuff there until they found me a room."

Odd jokingly groaned and followed Kasey out of the cafeteria.

Aelita, Yumi and Ulrich all materialized in Lyoko.

"The tower is a few hundred yards to the north."

"Thanks Jeremy, is there any sign of a welcoming party?"

"Not yet Ulrich, but I'm sure Xana has something planned, I'll keep you posted."

The group ran across the ice region in search of the tower. In the distance the tower rose into view along with ten hornets and a pair of blocks. Aelita formed a wall of ice to hide behind, and the two warriors stepped out to fight.

"Yumi you attack and I'll block."

Yumi nodded and they rushed the monsters. Yumi unhooked both of her fans and threw them towards the hornets. They were dead on. At the sight of their fallen comrades, the other hornets opened fire. Yumi defenseless while her fans looped back to her watched in awe as Ulrich deflected laser after laser from the two of them. The two continued their strategy until the enemy's numbers were whittled away enough that Yumi and Ulrich could both pick out targets without worry. The two dispatched the last of the enemy and Aelita came out of hiding.

"Wow, you two were amazing!"

The two teens blushed and Aelita stepped into the tower. She floated up to the platform and entered Lyoko on the screen. The white rush of light expanded its way up and out into the real world.

"Return to the past now."

Odd was sitting on the floor of Kasey's room when he saw a white light rushing towards them through the window.

"What's that?" Kasey asked as she moved close to Odd for protection.

"I'd tell you, but you wouldn't remember anyways."

The light enveloped them and they returned to the past.

"Excuse me"

Odd turned to run face to face with Kasey.

"Uhh…hi…can I help you."

Kasey looked at him, "Yeah Odd, you can start by explaining to me why I'm outside, and secondly why it's now the morning again."

Odd gulped, "You remember everything about earlier?"

"Yeah, and I would really like an answer."

Odd gulped again. He dialed Jeremy.

"Hello?"

"Jeremy we have a problem of sorts."

I hope you liked it and please review. I love to hear your comments. A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
