Ok, time for a more entertaining chapter. I've been waiting to make Jeremy say this for
a while actually.

Chapter 4: Obsession

Yumi awoke to a startling sound, her brother was banging on pans in the kitchen singing "Yumi and Ulrich sitting in a tr-" as his mother interrupted, saying, "What did I tell you about hitting my pans? If you're going to sing, sing in JAPANESE!"

Yumi suddenly remembered the night before, about how Jeremy risked her life and her humungous forehead to save Lyoko. Then, she suddenly remembered that they were going to Sector 5. She got out of bed, and rushed to school as fast as she could, seeing as she was
dressed from before, in her usual black sweater, black pants, and probable dyed black hair.

As she rushed to school, wondering if they had been succesful doing whatever they wanted to do, she remembered that they had a science test! Oh well, she thought, I'll just ace the test with my Japanese powers. As she came in sight of the school, she saw three figures sitting on the bench, their usual hangout.

If I could interject for a moment... Now, if it was a small school without pools or soccer fields and stuff like that, I can understand hanging out on a bench in the morning, but seeing as it's a boarding school, I'd like to ask here and now how they can always go about as if they didn't have anything to do! They have a pool, soccer field, and a sauna! Now, back to the story.

"Ko-nee-shee-wah!"(YES, I KNOW IT'S SPELLED WRONG!) said Yumi as she approached, apparently out of breath from running 1/8th of a mile, "Fill me in on what happened last night!"

"IT'S THE WORK OF XANA!" exclaimed Jeremy, as the batteries to his gameboy ran out, "I KNOW IT!" They say that there's a thin line between intelligence and insanity. Well, throughout the years, Jeremy had been slowly inching past that line, and he finally broke. "You're all figments of Xana's creation... THAT SQUIRREL IS THE WORK OF XANA!" he said as he ran off into the distance, blaming Xana for every tiny mishap.

"What the heck?" asked Odd, who was over by Sissy, harassing her as usual. "I think he's worked up about the antivirus he's working on for me, not to mention my mysterious past with the hermitage, the mysteries of life, and last but not least, his Half-Life 2 file he downloaded onto the super computer and plays while we're deactivating towers and fighting Xana monsters," said Aelita, who had been silent the last few days. "Oh, too bad, I guess Yumi will have to do all those things now that he went crazy," said Ulrich.

Later in class, they were talking about diatomic fragments of super-compulsive stars relating to how sponges soak up water. This gave Odd and Ulrich perfect time to talk about what they did on Lyoko, even though Yumi was the one who needed to know. "Meh, I don't think going there was useful, all we did was give the Skipazoa a chance to erase Aelita's memory," said Odd. "Well, why would it be helpful to Xana if he DID erase her memory? We could just tell her what she's told us about her dreams, not to mention about how Xana wants to destroy the world, destroying him in the process." whispered Ulrich. They watched as Mrs. Hertz was trying to turn on the television for a documentary on seawater sponges, but failed in getting the video into the VCR.

Suddenly, Jeremy stood up and yelled, "This must be the work of Xana!" and bolted out of the classroom, running towards the factory to finish his game of Half-Life 2.
