Ginger and Courtney

It has been two days since the Lyoko Warriors have lost Lyoko and William at the hands of XANA. During this time, Aelita and Jeremy are working on the way to recreate Lyoko. However, Jeremy is how one would describe stress. So, his friend Allison suggested watching a popular South Korean show to take his mind off Lyoko for a while. At the same time, Jeremy used his voice modifier to claim that William was on a trip. While all of this is happening, life has to go on at Kadic Academy. Dawn is checking her makeup before the soccer game, where the cheerleaders will perform during halftime. "I hope we don't make a fool of ourselves," Dawn said. "We won't. WE nailed it the last two practices, and with your twirls, we are going to do great," Allison said as she fixed her hair. Odd walks by and is taken by Dawn's appearance. "Whoa," he said. Ulrich kicks a ball down the hallway as he mentally preps his mind for the game. "Odd, a picture lasts longer!" Ulrich teases. Odd jumps. "Sorry. I was daydreaming and wondering where Yumi was? She said she was coming to the game with us." "She is at the field with Ash and Brock," Ulrich said. Before Odd can answer, Aelita and Jeremy arrive. "Hey, soccer star,' Aelita teases. Ulrich blushes as Jeremy enters Allison and Dawn's room. "Hey, Allison, can I talk to you?" "Sure, Jeremy. What do you need?" "What the fuck did you recommend!" Allison laughs. "What is Jeremy talking about?" Dawn asks. "Well, we were watching this show right. Then it was like 'Red Light, Green Light,' then bang. People get shot!" Aelita states. "Oh, that show! How far did you get?" Odd asks. "Are you not terrified?" Jeremy asks. "We are at the glass challenge. But not the point!" "It was to help you not stress," Allison says while laughing. "Well, we hyped, so we might as well use this to cheer Ulrich on," Aelita says. Meanwhile, Sissi is shaking her pompoms around. "Let's go, team! Let's go!" The other cheerleaders are having a hard time dealing with Sissi. Magali and Claire are rolling their eyes, and Alice yawns but cheers when Allison and Dawn arrive. "Yes. Thank you!" Alice says. "Good. Now, remember-" Sissi starts. "You are the star!" The cheerleaders said. "Good. Not let's get shit done!" Sissi shouts.

As the game progresses, the cheerleaders do their cheers. "Go, team! We're the best" Ulrich kicks the ball down the field and into the goal. His friends cheer. "Let's go, Ulrich!" Yumi shouts. "Shouting for your soccer toy," Priscilla Blaise states. "Fuck you," Yumi shouts. "Come on. This you two are friends is a bunch of bull. Where's William?" Maïtena Lecuyer. "Come on, hustle!" Ash shouts. "What. I can't hear you!" Yumi states. Maïtena growls. Brock looks over and sees all of the cheerleaders. He notices that Sissi is not the best, but her teammates are making her look good. "I mean, Allison is great," Ash said. "Ash, there are other girls on the team," Brock said. "There are?" Ash asks. Brock laughs. Every boy's dream: dating a cheerleader!" Ash J looks up. "Don't do anything!" "Motherfucker mind your business!" Ash said. "My sister is my business!" "You know, whatever you do with Moxie. Ash does with Allison," Rocky said. Ash J's blood boils. "Rocky, you are not helping," Moxie says. During halftime, Priscilla and Maïtena go to talk to Marcus Sterling, a tenth-grade soccer player, but he is drolling over the cheerleaders, especially Sissi. "You know, with me, we can be a pair," Marcus tells Sissi. "Hmm. I mean, Ulrich has my heart, but you are cute," Sissi says. Priscilla walks over. "Hey, Marcus." "Hey. Are you wearing those new shoes you talked about?" "I am!" Priscilla blushes. Sissi kisses Marcus on the cheek. "I'll be cheering for you," she flirts. Marcus blushes as Ulrich rolls his eyes. He looks up and sees Yumi waving at him. He waves back with a slick smile as Yumi blushes. After the game, Maïtena approaches Marcus. "Hey, how about we study for our Italian test together. I heard it is one of the languages of romance." Marcus blushes. "Sure, can my friend come too, and maybe Priscilla can join?" Marcus asks. "Yeah!" Sissi comes rushing in and pecks a cheek on Marcus' cheek. "So, as you know. The cheerleaders are hosting a pool party as a fundraiser for the film club. I do know why? Anything that Odd loves must be a shitshow. However, I love to be the star, so if the film club gets more money, more equipment to make me look pretty. Anyway, I notice that you are not going. Can you come for me?" Sissi bats her eyes as Marcus blushes. "Anything for a pretty lady!" Marcus rubs his nose on Sissi's cheek, which sends Maïtena's blood pressure through the roof. "That bitch!" A few minutes later, in the locker room, Dawn was drinking water. "We did it. Now for the pool party tomorrow," Dawn says. "I know. Mr. Delmas askes me to make this happen, and the film club is important to Odd," Allison said. "I know. Which is why it has to go-" Dawn stops when she hears Priscilla and Maïtena come in. They hide as the tenth graders talk. "Sissi Delmas is a shit show!" Priscilla says. "I know. The way all the boys love her. Well, Ulrich doesn't like her," Maïtena says. "Please. He may not like her, but he likes the attention to make Yumi jealous. But Sissi, the principal's brat of a daughter. We need to teach her a lesson!" "We do. I hope she knows her place that daddy won't save her at the pool." "You know. We should show these boys what Sissi is made of." "I see the good stuff will be the showstopper!" They laugh as Dawn and Allison look at each other in horror. A minute later, Priscilla and Maïtena surprise Allison and Dawn. "Listen, you bitches. I hope that you forget what you heard. If Sissi finds out, we will make your lives a living hell. We could start with Yumi. She is such a bitch anyway!" Priscilla says. "You have been warned!" Maïtena shouts. As they leave, Allison and Dawn hug each other.

Later that night, the group was having a homework catch-up session. "What did you get for question 2?" Odd asks. "15," Ulrich said. "The answer is 6," Aelita says. "Huh? Where did you get 6?" Ulrich asks. "I believe the theme of chapter five was different types of love. The love for your body and the love for your family. Your body is yours but how you use it affects your family's values and pride, according to the book," Brock says. "I see, and when you chose your love for your body, in the case of Mary, the family disowned her for not going through with the marriage," Ash says. "But what about Johnson? He claims to respect Mary but wants to hide her from life," Jeremy says. "Allison, Dawn, you two are quiet," Yumi says. Allison closes her eyes, and Dawn hides in her notebook. "Girls, there is a XANA attack," Jeremy says. Nothing! Ash leans over and kisses Allison on the cheek. "Hi," Allison finally says. "Good. I was worried. Is everything okay?" "Yeah." Ash shakes his head. "Nope. I don't believe it." "Dawn," Allison says. "Everything is fine. We have to de-pep after games," Dawn says in a low voice. Odd shakes his head. "Is this about the pool party? I know that I asked for a lot, and I am grateful for the fundraiser, and you don't have to go." "Odd, we have to go, and well," Dawn stops. Jeremy gets up and closes the door. "Hey, it is just us. You can talk to us," Jeremy says. Allison and Dawn look at each other. Ash and Odd grab Allison and Dawn's hands respectfully. "You can tell us," they both said. At the same time, Sissi is laying out which swimwear she will wear at the pool. "Which one, boys, do you think will work?" Sissi asks. "The pink one. You always wear it," Herve says. "Then she has to wear something else. Nicholas says, "The goal is to raise money for the film club, and a new look will attract students to spend money." "Well, your brain is working," Sissi says. "De-bikini?" Yumi asks in shock. "What is that?" Aelita innocently asks. "Priscilla and Maïtena are going to rip Sissi's bikini off and show the world what she is made of," Brock said. "Or not," Dawn points out. "What do you mean?" Jeremy asks. "Sissi stuffs her bra. Which is why she takes so long in the showers," Allison says. "I knew it!" Aelita says. "And those two bitches have the nerve. Sissi is not my favorite person, but no girl should be subject to that humiliation!" Yumi says. "Okay, so we tell Sissi," Odd says. "No. Priscilla and Maïtena will come after Allison and Dawn. Is there another plan?" Ulrich asks. "Talk to Sissi?" Allison asks. "Have you met Sissi? Talking to her will not work," Brock says. "We have to try. Call her," Dawn says. Allison calls Sissi on speakerphone. "Allison! Hi. How are you?" Sissi answers. "Great, how are you?" Allison asks. "Great. I am picking out my swimwear for tomorrow." "Good. That is what I want to talk to you about. Dawn is here as well. " "Do you need advice about swimwear?" "No. I want to give you advice." "Me?" Sissi is appalled. "Well, I want to pick your brain about what you are going to wear." "I see. Well, a bikini! I need to show off my best features." In the background, Yumi is faking gagging. "Well, maybe a one-piece will work better. You know, they show off the body better. All of the curves, your figure, and my mother always tells me to leave things for the imagination, if you know what I mean." "Plus," Dawn adds in. "The blue coral one-piece you have will bring out that mermaid princess look you wanted." In the background, Aelota rolls her eyes. Sissi thinks about it. "You know. That works great!" Allison and Dawn sigh in relief. "I could wear my coral blue bikini!" Sissi states. Allison shakes her head. "However, you and Dawn and wear one-pieces. You two are shy around boys, and it would be a baby step towards the big leagues." "Okay, Sissi," Allison says. "Oh. Is Yumi there?" Allison looks at Yumi. "Yeah," Allison answers with hesitation. "Well, maybe you could give her some fashion advice. Bitch is always dressing for a funeral!" Sissi states. "That bitch-" Yumi starts but Odd and Ulrich restrain her. "Um, I won't do that!" Allison said. "Also, Aelita too. I mean, she needs to stop being a nauseating night light with the bright colors," Sissi says. "That mother fu-" Aelita shouts as Jeremy and Brock keep her quiet. "Good night, Sissi," Dawn says. "Good night, girls," Sissi says. "That motherfucker!" Aelita shouts. "Do we have to help her?" "Yes. Like I said, not my favorite person, but she needs to be spared," Yumi says. Ash shakes his head. "I could have told you what was going to happen." Dawn lays down. "We need a plan." Priscilla knocks on the door. "Allison, are you and Dawn okay?" "Yeah. Why do you care?" "Becasue, I thought you two were going to chicken out tomorrow seeing your presence might lead to loose lips." "Nope. We'll be good." "Good bitch. Be careful because if you or Dawn tell Sissi," "I know, We didn't tell Sissi." "Good. Bye. And tell Yumi to try and dress not like a zebra." Priscilla leaves. Allison closes the door. "That motherfucker!" Yumi shouts. "Does anyone else have a plan!" Jeremy asks. "I have one!" Allison states. "You do?" Everyone asks. "Yep. She told me what she was going to do." "She did? She seems crazy. Plus, you and Dawn told us, which was wrong," Ash said. "No. She said not Sissi. Are any of you Sissi?" Dawn asks. "Nope. Which is why my plan is going to work," Allison said. Dawn walks over to Allison, and Allison whispers her plan. "I have heard of that. I think it was from an old cartoon," Dawn said. "Yep," Allison said. "So, Odd, do you think you can lift me?" Odd raises an eyebrow. "What? Is this some cheerleading shit?" "No. But I think you could!" Then Dawn walks over to Aelita and Jeremy. "You two are still going to the pool, right?" "We were until five seconds ago," Jeremy says. "Great. You two can also work." "What!" Aelita says. "Jeremy, start to do bench presses now!" Dawn says. "I wasn't thinking about them, but they work much better!" Allison said. Ulrich holds his head. "I'm scared. Your mind is a mystery." Allison rests her arms on Ulrich's shoulders. "Ulrich, as long as you are not on my bad side, no need to worry." Brock gulps. "I'm worrying!"

At the pool, the cheerleaders and film club members greet everyone. Allison wears a red one-piece that ties in the back, while Dawn wears an orange one-piece with a tie in the front. "Looking good, ladies!" Sissi shouts in her bikini. Odd looks around and sees Priscilla and Maïtena walking towards them. "Delmas," Maïtena says. "Hello. Look what the cat dragged in," Sissi says. As the tenth-graders leave, Dawn tries to talk to Sissi. "Sissi, look, Maïtena and Priscilla are going to-" "Look. They are jealous becasue I beat them as prom queen three times and that all the boys love me. Don't let them get to you," Sissi says as she leaves to see Marcus. "Marcus! Ulrich, hey." "Hey, Sissi. You look fucking hot!" Marcus says. "Ulrich?" Sissi asks. Ulrich sees Yumi and runs to her. Yumi is wearing the same swimsuit as Dawn with ties on the sides. "Yumi looks good. What about Mrs. Bright ass pink Einstien?" Aelita wears a blue and pink floral swimsuit. "Again, she looks good," Sissi says. "Hey, I tried to tell Sissi, but she didn't listen," Dawn says. "So, now Allison's crazy plan!" Odd says. "It is not!" Allison says. At the moment, some tenth graders decided to throw Jeremy into the pool. "Get the fuck off of me!" Jeremy shouts as he is thrown into the pool with his glasses. Aelita jumps in. "Are you okay?" "Fine. No thanks to those assholes." "What was that?" Marcus calls out. "Asshole!" Jeremy shouts. "You know what! Why don't we teach these nerds a lesson with a game of chicken? My father tells me that it was popular when he went to school." "Fine. The chicken then water polo," Jim says. Sissi grabs Marcus. "Team?" Sissi asks in a flirtatious manner. "Of course." "Yeah, let's show them," Aelita tells Jeremy. "We should play too," Dawn tells Odd. "What!" Odd gasps. "This was the game!" Priscilla and Maïtena find partners. Allison and Ash sit at the pool's edge to watch as Brock, Ulrich, and Yumi prepare to act. "Okay. NO funny business!" Jim says. So the game works like this: one person carries another on their shoulders and wrestles the other pair into the water. Priscilla tries to reach for Sissi, but Aelita and Jeremy intercept and throw her and her partner. "The fuck? We lost to nerds," Liam said. "We sure fucking did!" Priscilla said. Dawn and Sissi are locked in. "Sissi, you need to hear me out," Dawn says. "Dawn, you and Odd look cute together," Sissi says. Odd blushes and almost loses his balance. Allison sees Maïtena coming behind Sissi. "Spaghetti stripes are not for the weak," she says. "Now!" Allison shouts. Brock, Ulrich, and Yumi grab a donut and cover Sissi as her bikini top goes flying and Ash catches it in a bag. "Bubble wrap," Aah says. Sissi is freaked out as she notices she is half-naked. "Oh, my," Sissi says. "Priscilla, Maïtena! Get out! You two are leaving. Everyone, take five!" Jim says. "Nice, fuckers," Marcus says. Sissi leaves the pool. Nicholas and Herve walk to her. "Are you okay?" They ask her. "Yeah," Sissi says. She turns to Dawn and Allison and hugs them. "Thank you. You two were such good friends." "You're welcome," Dawn says. "It was no problem," Allison says. "No. You both tried to warn me, and I didn't listen. Then you ask your friends who don't seem to like me, which puzzles me. But anyway, they helped me too. You two are good friends. The less popular friends but good friends.' "What about us?" Herve asks. "Dawn and Allison are my good girlfriends to good shopping with and to gossip," Sissi explains. "We are?" a confused Allison asks. "Yep. We should do that. I would love to see the world through a coordinator's eyes." Sissi takes the bag with her bikini top and leaves. After a moment, Dawn asks. "Did Sissi say that you and I are her girlfriends?" "I think so!" Allison says. "And you know what?" "What?" "I think we became the Ginger to her Courtney." "We did!" "The what?" Jeremy asks. "It's an American TV show, As Told By Ginger. It was a show a few years ago," Brock said. "I have seen it," Aelita said. "Me too," Yumi says. "I only watch the puberty gym class episode, and then we had the real thing," Ash says. "That sounds painful," Odd said. "Then having your mom explain more at home!" Ash adds in. "Yep. I would lose it," Ulrich says. The group laughs.

A new friendship takes form for our heroes as the goal to recreate Lyoko continues. As to what happens next for our heroes. Well, water polo, which Dawn and Odd were champions at the sport, led them to question their feelings. Maybe a Pokemon adventure is to come next. Maybe a, wait, is that a Fearow?
