Now the cliff hanger ends! Muhahahah! I love being evil with cliff hangers! Anyways r&r people I want to hear the reactions to the story! (whipps out a bloody axe) I said R&R GOD DAMN IT...enjoy!

Norm. POV:

As Ulrich got out of the scanning chamber he was met by Odd, Jeremie, Aelita, and Yumi. Yumi had apparently been held up by the flood overat the school. Everyone was congratulating each other on a job well done, and they laughed over how easy that had been. But Ulrich stood back his thoughts on the problem facing them.

"You guys..." he tried to get their attention, but they were too busy laughing.

"YOU GUYS LISTEN TO ME!" he finally cried out to the room at large. Everyone fell silent and looked at him like he was from the nut house.

"You guys have to listen to me, it's really important, it's about Josiane-" he began but was cut off by Yumi.

"Oh that new girl, come on Ulrich do you think that we don't know already that you have a crush on her. Odd told us everything already." Yumi laughed as she saw Ulrich turn bright red glaring at Odd.

"Ok. Fine. Maybe I do like her a little, but that is not what I was trying to tell you-" he said being cut off again by Jeremie this time.

"That's good Ulrich, but we have more important things to be considering like trying to get back to the school and-" Jeremie smiled but was cut off by an angry Ulrich.

"LISTEN TO ME! XANA had that stupid flood all planned out, you're talking about how easy it was well, he did that on purpose. He just wanted to get the message to someone that he wants us to stay away from Josiane. That she is a danger to us, and we need to give her up when she is kidnapped by him. He said to me in LYOKO that she was an important part of his plan, but that's all he said." Ulrich yelled out to make sure no one would interupt him.

There was a dead silence until Jeremie spoke up and said stammering, "Y-y-you mean t-that XANA s-spoke to y-you?"

"Yeah." Ulrich replied quietly reminiscing on what had happened only minnutes before. Yumi starred at him with a sorrowful look ashamed of herself for poking fun at him. Odd and Aelita were dumbfounded, and Jeremie stood there thinking hard.

"Well, what I think we should do is go against XANA's orders and watch over Josiane, because for some reason he needs her. And I think that we should find out that reason, and find out what she has that is so important." Jeremie concluded after pondering a few seconds, "I mean who knows if it's something dangerous like how XANA could escape LYOKO, or where Frans Hopper is."

At his last annalogie everyone looked over to him then to Ulrich. Ulrich stood silently for a few momments, and then headed out of the room to the elevator. No one followed him. And as he was ridding up he thought, I am not going to let XANA take her even if it takes my life i'll do it. She is too good of a person to be wasted on the evils of XANA. That bastard, I don't know what he is planning, but I plan to find out before he has a chance to even lay a stingy hand on her.

Josian's POV (previously in the evening):

The rain was still pouring out, but then all of a sudden she felt a pain run across her chest deep in her heart. Mother f... she thought as she clasped her chest with her hands. Ow, daddy said that the pain might get a little worse when she got nearer to the place, butI guess hedidn't know that it would be this painful. I looked out of my window and saw that the rain had immidiatly stopped. I wonder who is deactivating the towers? I know that daddy's program Aelita did that but who was helping her?

That was another reason whymy parents sent me here, to find out who was trying to destroy XANA. I want to help them, but my orders were to figure out who they were first. I stood up and walked over to my window to take a look at the damage this time. The entire area around the school was flooded. That's kinda good I guess, they'll probably cancle school for a while. The teachers won't be able to get in.

I looked out across the trees in the forest and saw that all of the stars were out. Beautiful. Hey, what's that? I asked myself as I looked closer at the thing that had caught my eye. Wait, is that a person? It is! I wonder...what if they're the one who helps Aelita out in LYOKO! Immediatly after this thought I dashed out of my room and to the stairs. I began to head hurredly down them, and as soon as I reached the bottom I saw that the person was halfway across the 'river'. Hmmmm. They look familiar somehow. Well, I had better hide and see who it is.

I chose to squatt behind a plant that covered most of my features. And as soon as the person came through sopping wet I was taken aback at what was right before myself. Ulrich was breathing heavily as the door swung shut, all of his clothes were pouring water from themselfes and he looked miserable. (a/n: Kinda makes you want to go and give him a big ol' hug ya?) I watched him contently as he reluctantly pulled out a cell phone from his pocket (obviously it was water proof).

"Yeah hey Jeremie, the water isn't too deep, it's just a little hard to wade through that's all. Yeah...no...make sure that you don't slip on anything because when I went under it was pretty hard to get my footing again. Ok...bye." he hung up and made his way back up the stairs to where I thought his room would be.

After a few seconds of head start I got up and headed back as well. When I reached the top of the stairs I saw him entering his room. Hey, his room is right next to mine. I didn't know that. As soon as his door closed I hurried back into my own. As I layed back down onto my bed I heardUlrich tinkering around in his room. Heis really cute. I thought as sleep washed over me.

The Next Day

Ulrich's POV:

God I didn't sleep well at all last night. Those dreams are terrible. Last night I kept having the same dream of Josiane being engulfed by that black stuff, which I now came to realize was XANA. I sat up and put my legs over the side of my bed and saw that Odd had made it back ok. Good. Now I really need to go and take a shower, having XANA touch you isn't the cleanest feeling in the world.

I stood up and put on a robe. Then I headed out the door towards the bathroom. After I took my shower I headed back upstairs to wake Odd up, he never could wake up to the sound of a blarring alarm clock in the morning. I glanced out of a window and saw that the whole area was flooded still. Good, no school, and that means no detention! Ha! You can't serve detention unless there is school going on.

Odd was still fast asleep, so I carefully placed myself on his bed where the wall was and gave an almighty push. He fell over and landed with a tud.

"Hey what was that for? I was having a good dream." Odd said angrily.

"Oh yeah, and what was this so called good dream about?" I asked teasingly sitting down on the bed.

"It was about candy for your information...mounds and mounds of it!" Odd replied his eyes sparkling with pleasure.

"Well, that's interesting."Istated with no intrest.

I got dressed and told Odd about what happened in LYOKO in more detail. He stood there listening also getting dressed. He told me thatneither Jeremie norhimself saw anything on the screen.After that I went down the stairs to the office to ask if there was any school today. The lady at the front desk said no, and that I wouldn't have to serve my detention either. Odd had told me that the others said that they had figured that there would be no school so they were going to be meeting in the gym.

I wanted Josiane to be there just in case, because who knows when XANA was going to attack. So, I headed back upstairs to where Odd said her room was. I knocked on the door and she came out. She was wearing some boxers and a loose t-shirt. Her hair was down and Ulrich was surprised by how long it was. She had worn it up all day yesterday, so it was hard to tell how long it was.

"Oh hi." she said smiling and rubbing her eyes.

"Hi. Um since there isn't any school today would you like to hang out with me and my friends?" I said trying to act cool, even though she was only in boxers and a shirt. Don't be a pervert retard, or else you won't be ab;e to protect her from XANA.

"Oh sure, let me just put some clothes on..." she said finally noticing that she was only in her pajamas. I saw that she had turned bright red as she closed her door.I turned red too, but at leased she didn't see me.

10min. Later

Norm. POV:

Josiane stepped out in a plain purple shirt and blue jeans. She had left her hair down because she thought that it just looked perfectly fine the way it was. She saw that Ulrich was sitting on the floor in front of her room, but when she stepped out he stood up.

"I'm sorry did I take too long?" Josiane asked looking worried.

"No, no you're perfectly fine." He said remembering how he would have to wait for Yumi forever.

"Ok then, let's go!"

They walked side by side together all the way to the gym. They talked and joked, but when they finally got there they were in store for a surprise.

a/n: Sorry another cliff hanger! This is where the action begins. Well please r&r and tell me your thoughts. I promise I will put the next chappie up in a jiffy don't you worry! O.o
