Okay, next chapter! I got a few complaints that I didn't update fast enough
(and you're al right about that) so, I beat the summer laziness out of
myself to write this chapter!
Everyone: Boo! Lazy ass! Me: SHADUP! Raifiel: Okay, enough sugar for you...we don't own anything code: Lyoko related, but we do own this plot, and a few things... Me: THE WORLD!!!
And... On with the fic!
A woman paced the room distractedly, glancing at the door occasionally as if waiting for something. The door opened, sliding backwards into the wall as a young girl entered the room. The woman looked at the girl, but she shook her head. "We couldn't find him. We've been searching for six years, mother, even I'm starting to have my doubts!" The girl flopped down into a chair sitting before a computer, and her mother took a seat in a chair next to her.
"I thought you said that this would be simple Mom, are we ever going to find him?" The girl's eyes started to redden with unshed tears as her mother looked on in pity. "I don't know dear, the tracking device malfunctioned only a year after we released him into the care of my sister and that id- I mean Falda, and they disappeared a year after that. All leads are gone, and we don't even know where to start." She shook her head, pulling a bottle of aspirin from a pocket in her lab coat and taking two. "We just have to do this systematically."
The girl got up slowly; obviously not satisfied with the answer she had been given. As she was almost to the door, her mother stopped her. "Anna, I want you to go to a school, meet some children, it seems as if Odd was your only friend. I've already signed you up, and you'll be going at the start of next month, okay?" Anna sighed. "What ever mom..." And she left the room, reflecting on her old friend and how she wished she could find him, even if she had to give up everything.

Odd ran as fast as he could down the track, slightly ahead of Ulrich as the two ran their fourth lap. The children were in gym class, and Odd was very good at running. Very. Ulrich panted as they rounded the corner for their last lap, staring incredulously at Odd who was only slightly out of breath and still keeping at it. Near the back of the pack of wheezing children, Jeremy looked on, smirking at the expression on Ulrich's face as he watched Odd pull ahead and be first one past the finish point.
The rest of the kids pulled in as Odd caught the small bit of breath that he had lost, and groaned as they were assigned their stretches. Ulrich really wished that he had Odd's natural affinity for all things cruel and unusual, as said child finished up and was eager for more.
Somehow, Jeremy had gotten a pass to get out of doing anything other than beginning exercises, as he claimed to have asthma, and while all his friends knew he didn't, they weren't telling. Yumi wasn't in this class, because she got gym credit for her martial arts lessons taken after school.
After classes, they all decided to go down to a local Dairy Queen that was only a few blocks down from the school. "So, tell me Odd, how is it that you're so freaking good at sports!?!" By the time he had finished the sentence, Ulrich was waving his arms in a most undignified way, and Odd was backing up slightly to the other side of the sidewalk...where he immediately walked right into someone.
"Oh...sorry miss!" Odd picked up the girl and helped he gather her scattered belongings. "That's alright, it was my fault for not paying attention." The girl smiled sweetly before walking on before Odd could point out that it had been he who was walking backwards. "Well, Odd!" Ulrich had apparently forgotten about his jealously, and Yumi and Jeremy sweat dropped. "That was a really nice girl, don't ya' think?" He nudged Odd and winked. These implications were lost on the naive Odd, but sent Jeremy and Yumi into smothered snickering. "Yeah, I hope we can meet her again!"
The others looked at Odd for a second, wondering how a boy who could rip through hordes of monsters in Lyoko, could be so clueless in the real world. "What?" They all shook it off, telling the poor Odd that it was nothing, and headed off to the kingdom of delights, aka, Dairy Queen.

Anna walked through the halls, using the aid of a map to find her way through the labyrinth called a school building. When she at last made it to the principle's office, she found a girl waiting outside, apparently not in a friendly mood. Anna walked in, trying her best to ignore the stare of the unfriendly girl.
School info and supplies where a short affair, and the principle called in, to her horror, the sourpuss from the hall. "Anna, this is my daughter, Sissy, she'll be showing you to your dorm, and giving you a quick tour of the building." As she left the room, Sissy spoke, "I'm Sissy, I hate doing this, so let's get this over with." Only slightly shocked by her attitude, Anna quickly adjusted to the situation. "That's okay, you can just show me to my dorm. I don't need you to show me around." The other girl gave a relieved sigh and swiftly switched directions.
They reached a huge building, adjacent to another identical one. "That," Sissy said, pointing to the first building, "Is the girls' building, and that," She then pointed to the second, where if you looked closely, you could see a pair of boxers hanging out of a third story room, "Is the boys' building." She said the word 'boys' as if it were some kind of foul word, and Anna assumed that an unpleasant clash with a boy had caused this (points at Odd and everyone cheers).
"So...I'll be going now." Sissy headed into the building and Anna followed, giving just enough space between her and the other girl so that the haze of unpleasantness didn't smother her. She reached her dorm and placed her things down, noting that she had gotten a one-occupant room. "Well, guess I better call Mom and tell her I made it." Anna rolled her eyes before picking up the phone and dialing the lab's number.
"Hello, Biogenetics Lab. How may I help you." The tone oozed boredom, and Anna resisted the urge to sigh. "This is Anna, may I speak to my mom?" In a matter of seconds, her mom was on. "Hey honey, how's it going? I don't have much time to talk, so we may have to cut this short." "Hey Mom, just called to say I made it. Since you're SO busy, I guess I'll go." And she hung up. Anna was like that. Trying to fall onto her bed, she tripped on a suitcase and promptly fell to the ground. Curses filled the hall, and many girls in passing wondered what kind of lunatic they had gotten this time.
------------------------------------------ Author's note:
Yeah, I know that this has been a long time coming, and I AM sorry. To my loyal stalker, Painful, don't go! I love your reviews! I must say this chapter isn't up to par, but the next chapter will have some action!
Thanx for your support,
