Thanks you guys for waiting so long for the next chapter. I think everything back to normal now at home so I am all ready to type and send. This chapter will have the real start to the story. Now on with the show!
The alarm clock rung loudly in Tara's ear. Tara opened her eyes slowly and she took her pillow and slammed it on the clock. Finally, after about fifteen minutes she got up from the bed and made her way to her closet to get dressed. Tara then went to her dresser and pulled out a drawer. Inside was Odd and Tracy's picture. She looked at the picture with sadness in her eyes.
"Just another day Odd, just another day." She said to the picture. Tara placed the picture back in the door, took her bag, and left the room. On the way to her first class, she spotted Jeremy moving sluggishly from his room to his class also. "Jeremy, hey Jeremy!" She called to him. Tara caught up with him at the end of the hall and that was when she noticed that Jeremy had dark circles under his eyes. "Long night?"
"I tried to track the last monster we fought in Lyoko but I couldn't find anything." Jeremy explained.
"This isn't healthy for you." Tara said.
"I'll be fine, let's just go and find Ulrich and Yumi." He insisted. So the two went together to go to the cafeteria.
Yumi walked in to the school and went straight to the cafeteria to meet Tara, Jeremy, and Ulrich. It was weird not having Odd around these past two months. She thought how hard it must have been for Ulrich. From the calls she shared with him, Yumi knew that Ulrich blamed Tara for what happened. It was sad too because Tara wasn't bad. Yumi just hoped for the best and that Ulrich would learn to trust Tara. She went saw Tara and Jeremy walking down the hall and she waved to them. They waved back.
"Hey guys, where's Ulrich?" She asked. Tara and Jeremy shrugged. The three went to breakfast and then they went to class. For the first two classes, none of them saw Ulrich at all. Soon, Yumi started to get worried. She was so worried that she even found Sissy to see if she knew where he was. Not even she knew where Ulrich went. It was lunch time before any of the three said anything about the situation.
"Maybe Ulrich is still in his room." Tara suggested.
"No, I already checked during break." Jeremy replied.
"Then where could he be?" Yumi sighed. This just wasn't like Ulrich at all. Just then, Jeremy's lap top started going off. Jeremy answered it and Aelita popped on the screen.
"Jeremy, everyone needs to get to the factory!" She exclaimed.
"Why, what happened Aelita?" Tara asked.
"Something has happened in Lyoko, Ulrich is here in the factory so don't worry about him." Aelita explained.
"Ulrich is there, what is he doing there?" Yumi questioned happily.
"There is no time for questions, we need to go." Jeremy said sternly. The three got up from their table and they quietly made their way out of the school. What waited for them in Lyoko would change everything.
Yes, I know it is short but the real action will start in the next chapter. What happened in Lyoko? Guess if you want to try but have fun. If you have questions, just ask them and I might answer them. Until next time; peace to the Middle east, bathe the whales, and pay the hobos.
