Chapter 4: Leaving
A/N: Wow, I haven't updated this story in a while. Anyway there will be more info about Odd and Rose's past and the objective of the project will be revealed soon. And Rose was not experimented on. Only Odd was. Also, there is a name for the project, it just won't be revealed until the next chapter or later, depends on how the story is going. I'm done now. Let's start.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko.
"So what are we going to do, Odd?" Rose asked. (A/N: they're still in the infirmary, just to let you know.)
"About what?" Odd asked.
"My parents, Odd. What are we going to do to save them?" Rose said.
"We rescue them," Odd shrugged.
"We can't just go into their base, Odd, They'll kill us!" Rose exclaimed.
"One, they won't kill us because they need me alive and they're probably going to use you to get to me. And two, we're not just going to walk into their base right away, we need a plan first." Odd pointed out.
"You got one?" Rose asked.
"We need to go back to your house," Odd said.
"What!" Rose shouted, "Have you lost your mind? What if it's a trap?"
"Don't worry," Odd assured, "if I know Dennis, he'll probably leave us a message or something,"
"That's why we can't go back," Rose said, "if it's a trap, we can't risk it."
Odd put a hand on her shoulder, "Rose, relax," Odd said, "It'll be alright, I promise."
Rose sighed, "I don't even know why you're my best friend," she smiled.
"Because I'm the best, that's why," Odd grinned and Rose giggled.
"Come on, it's almost lunchtime, and I bet you're hungry from all that running," Odd said, moving towards the door.
"Is that all you think about, food?" Rose asked with a smirk.
"No, I think about other things that I'll probably not tell you," Odd said. Rose laughed and headed off to the cafeteria with Odd.
The lunch bell rung and the gang were heading to the cafeteria. When they arrived, they spotted Odd and Rose at their table, eating lunch.
"Odd!" Ulrich called.
"Hey guys, what took you so long?" Odd asked and Rose giggled.
"Who are you?" Ulrich asked.
"Rose, Odd's old friend," Rose said, "And you are?"
"Ulrich."
"Jeremy."
"Aelita."
"Yumi."
"Nice to meet you," Rose said.
"So how long you and Odd have been friends?" Ulrich asked.
"Six years, we met when we were eight. We're fourteen now." Rose said.
"How did you meet?" Jeremy asked.
Odd and Rose looked at each other nervously, "we met by our parents, who introduced us," Rose lied.
"Interesting," Jeremy said.
"Well, look who it is here," A voice said.
"Oh no," Yumi said.
"What's wrong?"
"You're about to have your first Sissi attack," Aelita said.
"We have a new student, huh?" Sissi said as she walked up to them with Nicholas and Herb at her side.
"She's not new, Sissi, she's just visiting. Now leave her alone," Odd said.
"She's not here to visit Ulrich, is she?" Sissi glared at Rose.
"No, I just met the guy," Rose said, "I'm visiting my friend here, Odd." She put her arm around his shoulder.
"Odd had a girlfriend? Who knew?" Sissi smirked when Odd and Rose blushed.
"Sissi, will you get out of here," Ulrich asked.
"Leave Odd and Rose alone. Besides, you're no better than them, anyway," Aelita said.
Sissi 'hmphed 'and walked away with Herb and Nicholas following.
"What a snob," Rose said in a disgusted tone.
"You don't know the half of it," Odd said and they both laugh.
Classes are over and Odd and Rose were chatting in his and Ulrich's room.
"So when do we leave?" Rose asked.
"Midnight," Odd said,
"Why Midnight?" Rose asked.
"Because there will be no one around. It'll be easier to sneak out," Odd said.
"True," Rose said.
"We'll pack up and be ready to leave," Odd said.
"We? I don't have anything to pack," Rose said, raising an eyebrow.
"I know," Odd said with a smirk, "you're helping me,"
"great," Rose muttered sarcastically.
Meanwhile Ulrich overheard the whole thing, "Leaving?"
In Jeremy's room Ulrich told the others what he heard.
"Leaving?" Aelita asked, "but why?"
"I don't know. They didn't say." Ulrich said.
"I wonder why they're leaving," Yumi said.
"Maybe it has something to do with their families," Aelita said.
"If it has something to do with their families, their parents would pick them up," Jeremy said," They wouldn't have to sneak out, especially at Midnight. Something else might be going here and I think Odd and Rose are involved."
"What could they be involved in?" Yumi asked.
"Something bad?" Ulrich guessed.
"Could be," Jeremy said, "Maybe something happened in their past, or something might happened to their families."
"What could've happened," Yumi asked.
"Not sure," Jeremy said, "But I noticed that when she came here she looked like she was running from something."
"What could she be running from," Aelita asked.
"The only logical answer is that some people kidnapped her family and she escaped.
"What!" Aelita shouted, "that's terrible! Who could do such a thing?"
"People who have a grudge against them," Jeremy shrugged, "I don't know."
"Why would Rose come here though," Yumi wondered. "she could've gone to the police and tell them. Why come here,"
"Wait," Ulrich said, "Didn't she say that her and Odd were friends for six years?"
"Yes," Yumi said.
"She could've came here for Odd. Maybe she thinks that Odd could help her with something." Ulrich said.
"With what?" Yumi asked.
"Not sure," Ulrich shrugged.
"Let's ask them by the time they leave," Jeremy said and the others nodded.
At Midnight, Odd was walking to the gate where Rose was waiting for him.
"About time," She said.
"I said that I would be here at midnight," Odd said, "How long you were here?"
"15 Minutes," Rose said. Odd raised an eyebrow, "What? I got tired of waiting in Aelita's dorm. (A/N: Aelita offered Rose to stay in her dorm, 'nuff said.)
"Come on let's get going." Odd said.
"Odd!" A voice shouted. Odd and Rose turned to see the rest of the gang running to them. "Wait up," Ulrich said.
"What are you guys doing here?" Odd asked, shocked.
"We're coming with you, of course," Ulrich said with a grin.
"How did you know we were leaving?" Rose asked.
"Ulrich overheard your conversation and told us. We're coming with you." Jeremy said.
"You guys don't have to come," Odd said. "It doesn't involves you."
"If it involves you, involves all of us." Aelita said.
"We're your friends, Odd. We won't let you go through this alone," Jeremy said.
"Where's Yumi, then?" Odd asked.
"Right here," Yumi said, appearing behind him, "had to make sure my brother was asleep."
"You sure you wanna come," Odd said, "Because once we leave, there's no turning back."
"Absolutely," Ulrich said.
"And you can explain to us what's happening on the way," Jeremy said.
"I'll explain once we get there, but for now we need to leave," Odd said.
With that, they walked off to an adventure of a lifetime.
A/N: That's it. The adventure begins in the next chapter. So stay tuned and review.
