In art class, Mr. Chot said that it was a free day. "You can either do a small pottery project, drawing project, or canvas project, all the supplies are on the table up front." Madison was going to do a small canvas project. She got her materials and sat back down and got to work. Alexis and Alex wanted to do a small drawing project. Alexis started on a prom dress design and Alex started on a pistol. Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremie, and Aelita started pottery. Ulrich made a miniature samurai sword, Yumi made a small Japanese fan, both of them like the ones that they have in Lyoko. Jeremie made a simple model of a computer. And Aelita made a key that could go on a string around her neck to symbolize that she is the key to Lyoko. Odd, not knowing what to do, asked Madison what she was doing.
"I'm making a picture of my dream cat" she answered.
"Oh" Odd said kind of sadly. He looked down at his shoes.
"Don't get me wrong Odd, I love dogs" Madison tried to explain. "But I love cats too" Odd looked up trying to smile.
"I know what I'm going to make" Odd sad proudly. He got up and left and then came back with paints and canvas. He sat down and started painting. Madison watched him closely watching every small brush stroke he made. After about five minutes, he looked up at her and shot her a big goofy grin. Madison giggled and they both started painting again.
After about twenty minutes. Odd declared "Done." Madison looked over at him and his painting. Right in the center was Kiwi. She grinned and started again. When there was five minutes left of class, Madison finished her painting.
"Wow!" Odd exclaimed. Her painting was excellent with a lot of little details. "Umm, what kind of cat is that?"
"It's a calico, I've always wanted one and I'd name it Cali" Madison explained.
"Cool" Odd said.
"Yeah, and she's wanted one forever but our parents don't like cats so she'll never get one" Alexis said trying to rub it in her face. It worked. Madison had a tear fall and land on her painting smearing some of the details that were still wet. The bell rang and she ran away. Her painting still lay on the table next to Odd. He gave Alexis a 'What was that for?' look. He got up and grabbed both his and Madison's paintings.
On Odd's search to find Madison, he stopped at his room and put the paintings into a drawer. He then left and went to her room. The door was unlocked but no one inside. He checked Jeremie's room just to make sure but it was empty. He checked all of the classrooms but no one was in any of them. No one was in the cafeteria either. Odd was going to go check out the factory so he headed for the park. While he was walking towards the manhole, he heard muffled crying. He followed it and found Madison sitting by a tree with her head in her hands and knees. He sat down next to her and hugged her. Madison just sat there crying but she seemed more relaxed. She ended up falling asleep and just slept there in Odd's arms. The sun was starting to set so he figured that they should be going. Since he didn't want to wake her up, he just carried her back to the school.
Back at the school, he brought her up to her room and kicked it hoping that someone was in there. Aelita opened the door and let Odd in. He placed Madison on her bed. Alexis was shocked.
"You found her sleeping and carried her back here!" Alexis said trying to understand.
"Pretty much, yeah" Odd said surprised at Alexis' reaction.
"How could you? She must weigh like two-hundred pounds!"
"No she doesn't" Odd yelled being careful not to wake Madison. "She weighs less than one-hundred pounds with my guessing" Alexis looked at him in shock.
"Are you serious?" Alexis yelled making Madison stir.
"Yes" Odd whispered. Alexis dropped to the floor so she was sitting on her knees.
"Last year she weighed one-hundred and twenty pounds" Alexis said worriedly. Odd's jaw dropped.
"Are you sure she weighed that much?" questioned Odd. Alexis nodded. "Wow"
"Odd, your estimating had been off before, you never have been that good at math" Aelita piped up.
"I don't know what happened" Alexis said, scared. Not hearing what Aelita had said.
"Sure, don't listen to me" Aelita said annoyed that no one was paying attention to her.
"Well, we have a medical checkup tomorrow during gym so we will find out exactly how much she weighs soon" Odd said. Alexis nodded with a small tear coming to her eye.
"What if she'd anorexic?" Alexis asked
"Let's hope not" Odd said.
"Yeah"
"It's time for dinner, we should let her sleep and the bring her dinner"
"Bring who dinner?" Madison asked sleepily.
"Well, it was you but now that you're awake, you can get it yourself" Alexis said.
"Okay" Madison said while getting up.
"Madison, can I talk to you?" Odd asked as Alexis and Aelita left.
"Sure, what's up?"
"Umm, I worry about you so I'm just being concerned about you"
"The point please"
"Are you anorexic?" Odd asked quickly.
"What? Why are you asking me that?"
"Alexis was surprised that I was able to carry you from the park and then she said that she had noticed that you had gotten a little bit skinnier and then we all got worried about you and…."
"Odd, it's called a diet" Madison interrupted.
"Why do you need to be on a diet?"
"Because I'm sick of Alexis always calling me fat" Madison answered while starting to cry a little bit. Odd hugged her and she hugged him back. "You shouldn't have to worry about me" she added.
"I know but I do and I can't help it" Odd said while letting go of her. A loud growl went off in the room.
"What was that?" Madison asked scared. Odd started rolling on the floor with laughter. Madison didn't get it. "What's so funny"
"That, that was my, was my, stomach" he laughed.
"Well then, we better get you to dinner before the whole school starts shaking" Madison gasped through while laughing. Odd pushed her out the door and down the nearby stairs. All of a sudden Sam came running up the stairs that they were going down.
"Odd!" Sam yelled running up and hugging him.
"Sam, let go of me!" Odd said. Madison just looked at them confused. "I'll explain during dinner Madison" Sam looked at Madison and glared at her.
"Well, I have to go Odd" Sam said. "I'll see you later"
"Doubt that" Odd mumbled and urged Madison to keep going. He looked back and glared at Sam.
