Welcome guys. I must warn you that this chapter might not be up to its potential because I 'm sick. AWE, poor me. Okay, bye. Now on with the show!

Tara couldn't sleep that night. She as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve. Finally, at 7 o'clock, she grabbed her things and ran out the door. Tara ran at full speed down the hall way towards the cafeteria, knocking over anyone that got in her way. Just as she ran down a corner, Tara rammed right into Jim.

"What are you doing running the halls?" Jim barked.

"Gosh, how is it you can be everywhere imaginable?" Tara asked. "Do you get frequent flyer miles for being everywhere or something?"

"If I catch you running these halls again I'll have-." Jim began to warn her.

"Yeah, yeah you'll put me in detention." Tara interrupted. "Oh I'm so scared. Look, I have to go right now so can we continue this later? Okay, great, bye." Tara ran off leaving Jim in a stunned expression. She finally reached the cafeteria and sat down near Ulrich, Jeremy, and Yumi. Before they could even greet her Tara had grabbed her breakfast and started wolfing it down just like Odd use to. The three stared at her with amazement as Tara crammed her pancakes in her mouth.

"You might want to eat a little more slowly Tara." Yumi advised her. "You might choke."

"No, must eat, must go now, you three too." Tara mumbled between mouthfuls of eggs.

"Go where?" Ulrich asked. He must have admitted that watching Tara eat reminded him of Odd. It was an uncanny feeling. Odd usually only ate like that if he was either starving or he wanted to go somewhere really fast. Like a class he was late for or something like that.

"Got a message from Odd last night." Tara managed to say clearly before she went back to gulping down her milk.

"A message from Odd!" The three exclaimed in unison. Tara finally finished her food and stood up from the table. She then grabbed Yumi's arm, who grabbed Ulrich, who grabbed Jeremy and ran off out of the school.

"Can't we at least finish our breakfast?" Ulrich asked while he tried to keep up with the rest of the gang.

"No, we need to go to the factory now!" Tara said with a smile on her face. She had been waiting to say this for months on end.

"But I wanted to finish the muffin I had." Jeremy whined.

"If you don't stop complaining, I'll show everyone the picture that shows what's in your locker." Tara warned.

"You said that there was no film in that camera." Jeremy yelled. "You wouldn't dare show anyone that picture." Tara gave him a look and soon he stopped talking. The four left the school and headed towards the woods. Unknown to the gang Sissy was watching them from the shadows of the school.

"Where are they going?" She asked herself. "They're probably going to see Odd; I know he is gone for another reason than what they say it is. I'm going to find out where Odd really is then I can use the information to blackmail Ulrich into going out with me." With her devious plan in mind Sissy quietly followed the gang.

What will Sissy do if she finds out where Odd really is? What will the gang do if Sissy finds out where Odd is? Will the gang go into the net base? Will I get brown high lights? Who knows? Read me, love me, and review me. Until next time: Peace to the Middle East, bathe the whales, and pay the hobos.
