MEMO: --blah blah-- means they are thinking, my other symbol didn't show up.

Monday

"We had a few problems over the weekend if you know what I mean. However, Verdana solved them for us seeing as many of us were gone." Ulrich was updating Yumi on what had happened while she was gone. The whole gang was standing over by one of the trees. As if out of nowhere, came Jordan. He glanced around to make sure that no one was following him. --Thank the Lord! Sissy stopped following me and pressuring me to join her sad little group. I just need to warn these guys about what X.A.N.A. is planning. Calm down, just- YOU WILL OBEY ME. I COMMAND YOU TO CARRY OUT THE PLAN. No I won't. YES YOU WILL. You can kiss my ass!-- #$&()+-/ (These polite marks cover up a rather nasty instance in which Jordan causes some major damage to his head) "Jordan what do you think you are doing!" Sissy exclaimed coming from around the corner. She didn't notice him wince slightly at the way that she said his name. "I have been looking everywhere for you! Now come on, I have something special for you." She grabbed his arm and led him off. Meanwhile, the Lyoko gang watched the scene. Well, they missed the part about Jordan causing major head damage to himself, but they heard Sissy. "I've been looking everywhere for you! That was great! You should have recorded it and played back as blackmail. Say that she said that to someone nasty." Odd did a perfect rendition of Sissy. "That was perfect, until the end. You kinda spoiled the effect by your rather far-fetched ideas." Aelita laughed. The bell rang and they all proceeded to class.

In the classroom

Verdana noticed that Jordan had a large black and purple bruise on his head and it looked as though he had tried to rip his brain from his head. "Um…" she began, but thought better of it when she saw the look he gave her. She gave him one of her movie star smiles and turned away, feeling sick. The rest of the class was so boring, that she longed for the simplicity of B.A.Z.T.U.K., another virus with whom she was familiar with.
--If only to have him back. I never thought that I'd think this, but I kinda miss how easy it was to trick him. I used to think that was dull, but now, it would seem like a super adventure compared to this class. I didn't think that anything could be more boring than going up against him-- she thought as the teacher droned on. As she gazed around, she noticed that she wasn't the only one to feel the boredom. In fact, there only seemed to be two or three people actually pretending to look interested. Obliviously, the techer continued on his lecture. She glanced down at her phone, to check the time. Jeremy had rigged the phones up so that they all knew when X.A.N.A. was up to something. --Hmmmm… still 45 minutes till class gets out. I wonder how the others are getting along.-- She was about to put her phone away, when she saw the X.A.N.A. symbol flashing on it. She glanced up at the teacher, and deciding he wouldn't notice if she left, turned to her phone again. She started, the symbol had vanished. Verdana stared uneasily around the room, half expecting some mega tanks or roachsters to pop out and start firing at her. Since she sat in the back, she doubted if the teacher would notice that she had fallen asleep. She sighed, propped her head up on her hands, and fell asleep.

Later, on the school grounds

Verdana gave a huge yawn and said, "So how was you alls day. Productive I hope." Everyone turned to her with mouths agape. They hadn't heard her come up behind them. "I wish she wouldn't do that." Odd muttered under his breath. She gave him a withering look. "You know I can't help it" she said with a laugh. Odd had such a surprised look on his face that Verdana couldn't resist taking a picture of him. She whipped out a digital camera from somewhere and snapped a shot. "Delete it!" Odd shouted when she showed him. She laughed and ran away, with Odd cursing and chasing after her. A few minutes later, Verdana showed up again. They saw Odd further off trying to catch his breath. Jeremy and Aelita noticed that she didn't even look winded. "Hey Jeremy, did the X.A.N.A. symbol show up today about fourth period?" she asked. "Why?" "Well it came on my phone and seconds later disappeared." She told them. Odd walked up and put one hand on the nearby tree for support. "So, what'd I miss?" "You missed an important update. Verdana told us that the X.A.N.A. symbol appeared on her phone about fourth period, but none of ours did that." Yumi filled him in. "Well, my phone vibrated once, then stopped." Odd told the others. "I want everyone to be on the lookout tonight, just in case." Ulrich said. They started to disperse. "Yumi, wait up! I'm going over to your house tonight, remember" Verdana called. "Oh yeah! Sorry, I forgot with all the excitement. Let's go get your stuff and head on home." They walked away to the dormitories.

At Yumi's house

After a delicious dinner in which Verdana had acted perfectly, the two of them disappeared into Yumi's room. "Thank you for letting me stay here tonight. I get kinda get lonely up a Kadic." Verdana told Yumi. They talked for a couple hours, until Yumi's dad came and told them to be quiet. They settled down to sleep, when their phones began to buzz and flash. There was an X.A.N.A. attack going on. His monsters patrolled the streets in packs of about twenty each. There was every kind of monster imaginable prowling through the city. Verdana leapt up and was out the door before Yumi could ask where she was going. Yumi put her shoes on and chased after. She went out the door and the first thing she noticed was that Verdana was nowhere in sight. Crabs came pouring down the street, so she ducked for cover behind and upturned car. She heard a strange buzzing noise from somewhere in front of the crabs. She tried to see through the smoke, but all she could make out was shapes. The buzz became louder. It sounded familiar, but Yumi couldn't quite place it. Out of the gloom came a head light, closely followed by a motorcycle. The motorcycle ramped off a car and landed right in front of Yumi. The rider was wearing a helmet with a metallic coating over it, and carried a gun. The rider removed the helmet, revealing that she was Verdana. "Come on! We need to get to the factory." Verdana told her. Yumi jumped on the bike and they turned to go. A crab blocked the path. Verdana took aim and fired at it. "A 500 S&W Magnum. The best gun there is. Armor and steel piercing." Verdana filled her in. She revved the engine and they sped off.
