Once again Sissy found herself waiting, but this time she was waiting for two people to awaken. She hated waiting. Her mind drifted off to the events that happened a few days ago…

Days Ago

Raul came into the tent, "I thought you might want some di…" Notices that Odd is gone, "Where is he!"

Sissy winched, "He ran off to save our friends."

"Oh no." Raul ran out of the tent and the camp came alive with activity. Sissy then exited the tent and was confronted by the commander with Raul and several soldiers in tow.

"He's really gone?" Sissy nodded yes to the commander, "Damn it! He could be captured! Why didn't you stop him!"

Sissy growled and looked the Commander in the eye, "I couldn't of stopped him eve if I tried!"

"Sir! Sir!" a soldier ran up to the commander, "Odd's been spotted heading towards our location!"

"Good! You men come with me! Odd may be injured and he may have others with him that also needs medical attention!" Ordered the Commander

"I'm coming too!" insisted Sissy.

"Alright!"

They ran to the edge of the camp and searched the sky.

Sissy scanned the sky, "There he is!"

The commander also spotted Odd, "He's got someone with him!"

Raul smiled to himself, but then his face turned to a look of horror, "There coming into fast!"

As Odd came closer and closer to the group and they were finally able to see the person in his arms.

Sissy recognized the person in Odd's arms, "Oh my god! He's got Aelita!"

Odd and Aelita cam closer and closer to the ground, then Odd began to fall…

"There going to wipe out!" yelled Raul

Odd fell from the board and hit the ground hard rolling one or two times, but Aelita fell on the board, and as the board vanished, because Odd was out, Aelita landed on the ground much softer than Odd did.

"Odd! Aelita!" Sissy ran over to the both of them, "Odd?"

Odd cracked his eyes open, "Please help…" Odd reached to Sissy but them he went limp.

"Odd!" Raul ran up with the commander in tow, "Is he?"

Raul checked Odd's pulse, "No. He's just knocked out. We need to get them to the medical tent!" He picked up Odd.

The commander had Aelita in his arms, "Come on Raul!"

Raul and the commander both rushed Odd and Aelita back to the camp. Sissy just stood there and watched for a moment and then took off after them both.

End flashback

Sissy with a sigh, "I never thought I was gonna become their nurse."

Then she heard a noise coming from Aelita; she looked as if she was having a nightmare!

Aelita's nightmare

"Ahhh!"

Aelita was dressed as Mr. Puck and was running through the woods trying to escape a pack of wolves.

"Jeremie, anyone, HELP!"

Then the scene began to shift as she ran. The forest melted away to the 3D desert landscape of Lyoko, her outfit morphed back to her Lyokian outfit, and the wolves that chased her began to change as well. They grew bigger and bigger, their legs elongated, their bodies flattened out and they turned red.

Aelita glanced behind her, "Krabes! Jeremie! Anyone! Help me!"

And just like that a krabe exploded behind her.

"Wha?" She turned around to see who her savoir was. "Odd!"

Odd stood there ready to fire, then a krabe lunged at him, Odd just jumped up, fired, and destroyed it. The other krabes took the opportunity to fire at Odd.

"Odd!"

"Shield!" Odd was encircled by a purple sphere that blocked the lasers. Then Odd landed on the ground on all fours, the shield disappeared, and Odd growled and began to glow purple.

"What's going on?"

Odd, in a fury released the energy that he built up and the remaining krabes exploded one by one. Odd then turned around and Aelita gasped.

"Odd what happened to you?" she now noticed his cat features.

Odd just smiled and everything faded to black….

"Aelita… AELITA!"

"Oh!" Aelita's eyes flew open and she sat up in the bed.

Sissy relived, "You're awake! Are you Ok Aelita?"

"Sissy? Wha? I fee fine, but where are…" She noticed that she was in her Lyokian gear, she immediately checked her ears. They were long and pointed. "Where are we? What's going on? Where are Jeremie, Ulrich, Yumi and Odd!"

"Were in an army camp. From what little I've been told this X.A.N.A. is trying to take over the world, and I have no clue where Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremie are but, Odd is in this bed right behind me."

"Odd!" Aelita got out of the bed and knelt by his bed, "Oh!" she noticed his cat features, and also the fact that his shirt was gone, and he was bandaged up. "What happened to him?"

"He rescued you from X.A.N.A." Aelita gasped and faced Sissy. "You both had taken a bad spill off of Odd's board when we found you, the doctors had said that Odd had one of the worst cases of exhaustion ever, and also he had a really bad burn on his back from some where." Explained Sissy.

Aelita stared at Odd, "Odd risked his life for me again…" She thought as she felt heat creeping up her cheeks.

"Hello!" Raul said as he came into the tent, then he noticed that Aeltia was up, "Oh! You're up! That's good!"

Aelita looked at Raul confused.

"Oh yeah my names Raul, I've been helping out your friends for a while."

Aelita smiled, "My names Aelita. It's nice to meet you."

"Likewise." Raul turned to look at Odd, "The kitty boy is still out?"

Sissy sighed, "Yeah."

Aelita looked surprised, "That nickname I gave him really stuck to him."

Raul stared at Aelita, "You gave him the kitty boy nick name?"

"Yeah it was a couple months ago when I was sick…"

Flashback

Odd entered Aelita's room, "Good afternoon sleepy head! Odd Della Robbia is here with your order of Ms. Rosa's WORLD FAMOUS chicken soup!" Odd handed the bowl of soup to Aelita.

Aelita giggled and took the soup from him, "Where's the spoon?" Odd handed her the spoon, "Thank you!"

"Aw shucks!" Odd blushed, "You're the lucky one! You get to sleep all day, eat, and miss school!"

"Eating, sleeping, and being over all lazy? Odd you act like such a kitty boy!"

Odd blinked then gave Aelita one of his patent Odd grins.

"Oh boy…" thought Aelita.

Odd mimicked paws with his hands, "Meowww!" He pawed Aelita.

Aelita couldn't stop laughing, "Aw!" She pet Odd's head.

"Meow." Odd tried to purr but failed.

"Aw!"

End flash back

"Wow." Said Raul

Sissy sighed, "That brought back memories of Odd hissing at me."

"Well Odd is odd." Said Aelita as they all stared down at Odd.

Then Odd cracked his eyes open, "Why are you all staring at me? I'm not dieing."

"Odd!" Aelita hugged Odd

Later

"This stuff is good!" Odd was on his fifth can of food.

Aelita was carefully eating her second can of food and Sissy was still on her first.

"Where do you put it all?" questioned Sissy.

"My stomach!"

"Oi!" Sissy slapped her head and Odd grinned.

Aelita smiled and spoke up, "We believe that Odd has more than one stomach!" Odd's grin widened.

"Well I'd like to know how you two are related. Aelita is so smart and decent; Odd your so dumb and act like a beast."

"Oh! Ah, Aelita and I are not really related. We just made that up."

"Yep! No relation what so ever."

"It all makes sense now." Then it hit Sissy, Odd love someone from a far! She glanced at Aelita, Could he love her?

Odd looked up and noticed that the sun was setting, "It's sunset! You've got to see the sunset from the top of the pile of rubble!" He dashed out of the tent.

Aelita blinked, "You coming Sissy?"

"Oh! I'm fine, I've already seen it."

"Ok." Aelita left the tent.

With Odd

Odd hopped to the top of the rubble and stare outward as the sun began to set. Then he realized something, Jeremie wasn't here and so he was alone with Aelita. His mind drifted off to the last time he was alone with Aelita with Jeremie no where in sight…

The music blared, they danced together, and the more they danced together, the more everyone else seemed to disappear.

I got everything you want,

Everything your heart desires,

Do you dare to have good time,

Then they both at the same time stopped and stared at each other….

Once I show you all I got,

You will wanna come along,

If you wanna have good time,

They got closer and closer to each other…

Ask yourself what you want,

There lips were about to meet and…

"Odd?"

"Huh?" Odd turned around to see Aelita standing behind him, "Well you're just in time!" He closed his eyes and stretched his arms out, "This is the best part!"

Aelita looked forward and gasped. This was one of the most beautiful things ever! All the reds and oranges swirling together! She loved it! Then in excitement she glance at Odd and stopped dead. Odd was staring forward wearing his newly physically mended shirt, his hair blew in a gentle breeze, the colors of the sunset splashed his body and he showed some signs of slight muscle development on his arms and chest. Aelita felt heat rising to her cheeks. Could she be in love with Odd? No… She loved Jeremie… Did she?

"Aelita." Said Odd breaking the silence still looking forward, "I want you to tell you that I don't regret meeting you." Aelita looked at Odd in surprise, "I don't regret the day I found the factory, and brought everyone else there, and I especially don't regret the time I've spent fighting X.A.N.A. and also the times I've had to protect you." Odd turned to Aelita and smiled.

"Th, Thank you Odd." Odd just gave her another smile and she felt a tad weak in her knees.

Odd sighed, "Well I'd hate to say it but, we no longer have any light. Me thinks we should head back."

"Yeah." And the pair began to descend down the rubble.

In Sector 5

Jeremie sat there worried. He worried about his friends, the world and especially Aelita. He knew she was safe now because she was rescued by Odd. Thought he admitted that he had developed a little anger towards Odd since the dance. Suddenly, a screen popped up in front of him.

There was no picture only audio, "I… Franz Hopper… help you… (Jeremie gasped) Come up…virus… destroy X.A.N.A… no harm…Aelita…needs… sacrifice…me." The screen cut out.

Jeremie couldn't believe it. There was help on the way.
