Tamagotchi
POV Lila's
I hear the faint sound of the copy of my father's laptop beeping. Sighing, I get out of my bed and pull the covers off me. I climb down the ladder quietly and walk over to my desk. I look at Aelita who's still sound asleep. I pull my second drawer open and take out my father's laptop. Opening the laptop, the screen loads automatically. It looks like the Super Scan picked up an activated tower. I go to my first drawer and open it.
Taking out a pen and a sticky note, I'm about to write down the coordinates of the tower but the laptop doesn't show an activated tower anymore. I raise my eyebrow.
That's… weird. Was it my imagination or did the Super Scan really pick up an activated tower? I think. I check my phone on the desk, it's 12:03.
Maybe I imagined it. Probably should get going back to bed. Hope the others are getting some sleep… especially cause of what Ulrich told us yesterday, ever since Odd got this hand-held video game called a Tamagotchi, Ulrich mentioned he's been woken up by it. I should get everything back to where it was, so I don't wake Aelita. I would hate to be that type of person, I think, and I close the laptop quietly.
The Next Day
Early in the morning
I'm on the lookout as Jeremy opens the door to Odd and Ulrich's room. Ulrich quietly takes Odd's Tamagotchi from Odd's bed. He walks over to Aelita, who hands it to Sissi who then hands it to Yumi.
"I'll take care of this," Yumi whispers.
"Are you sure Hiroki can handle it?" Mia whispers back.
"I am," Yumi answers and Ulrich ushers us away before we give Odd the chance to wake up. Nodding, all of us leave and Ulrich closes the door.
Sorry Odd, had to be done, I think.
Later
Inside the cafeteria
"Jean-Pierre isn't any old Tamagotchi pet, he's only a few months old. He's very fragile. Would you abandon a helpless baby, Jeremy?" Odd asks.
"If he was just plastic? I sure would," Jeremy answers.
"We've got to go look for him right away," Odd says, slamming his fist on his tray of food.
"I think it would be a lot better to wait," Ulrich suggests.
"Yeah, Odd. I mean it's just plastic, like Jeremy said. Besides, if we're going to keep dating, you need less distractions so you can keep your grades up," Sissi reminds.
"I know, but still… and wait for what, Ulrich?" Odd asks.
"For you to buy another one," Ulrich chuckles. Jeremy laughs as well, I can't help but feel a bit guilty. Mia and Sissi don't laugh either.
"Oh, I get the picture now. I thought good friends, and a girlfriend, were supposed to be there when you needed them. But I guess I was mistaken!" Odd exclaims, getting up.
All of us look at him, concerned. He leaves his tray, and his food which wasn't touched. He goes to leave the cafeteria. Once he's out of the cafeteria, Sissi speaks up.
"Maybe we shouldn't have given the Tamagotchi to Yumi," Sissi says.
"Maybe, but you said it yourself, Sissi. He needs less distractions in order to keep his grades up so that the two of you can keep dating," Mia reminds.
"True…" Sissi trails off. Aelita finally arrives and sits down next to me. She looks at us and the empty seat where Odd left his tray of food.
"Where's Odd?" Aelita asks.
"Oh, he left in a fit over his Tamagotchi. He'll get over it," Ulrich replies.
"You think so?" Aelita asks.
"Yeah," Ulrich replies. All of us start eating our food.
Afterwards
After finishing up our food, I see Kayori talking to Emily at their table. The others are on their way outside, but I say:
"I'll be out there in a few."
They nod and leave the cafeteria. Walking to Kayori and Emily's table, I ask:
"Is this seat taken?"
Emily and Kayori stop talking. Kayori looks at me and smiles.
"Hey, Lila. No it isn't, you wouldn't mind, Emily, would you?" Kayori asks.
"I do, actually. But don't worry, I'll leave you and your girlfriend alone," Emily replies, getting up. She takes her empty tray and leaves. I sit down next to Kayori.
"What's her problem? I don't get her sometimes…" she trails off.
"We have an, um... complicated history," I say, rubbing my neck.
"Complicated how?" Kayori asks. I don't answer her.
"Did… the two of you, used to date?" she asks.
"No, nothing like that. She just liked someone I liked at the time, and I gave that someone up to her," I explain.
"Oh, that was very mature of you," Kayori says.
"I suppose," I say. My phone vibrates, and I take it out. I look at the text message and it's from Jeremy.
Going to "look" for Odd's Tamagotchi. We need you.
Texting him okay, I tell Kayori:
"Sorry but, um, I've got to go help my friends with something. Talk to you later, okay?"
Kayori nods. I give her a hug and she hugs me back. Letting go of each other, I put my phone back in its pocket and leave to catch up to the others.
In the boy's dorm
Having caught up with the others, we're on our way to Odd and Ulrich's room. We reach their room and open the door. Odd and Jeremy start searching the room, going through their drawers. Kiwi pops up from his drawer, and I smile at him. Kiwi starts barking. Sissi, Aelita, Yumi, and I start "searching" for Odd's Tamagotchi, for places where he might have "lost" it. Odd decides to give up looking after the last drawer, and he closes it. Odd walks out of the room first, followed by Jeremy, and then the rest of us. I close the door behind me.
We start walking to the next place Odd can think of to find his Tamagotchi.
"I'm getting more and more worried. This is serious," Odd says.
"Yeah, we know. If we don't find Jean-Pierre in the next eight hours, it's the end of the world," Jeremy says, sarcastically.
It's only a toy, Odd… I'm sure Hiroki is going to take good care of it. Right…? I think.
Afterwards
In the boy's shower room
After "searching" for the Tamagotchi, Yumi is here with us and Aelita peers into the room where Ulrich, Jeremy, and Odd are.
"Still nothing?" Aelita asks.
"Maybe it's somewhere else?" I suggest.
"What are all of you doing in here?" Jim asks. "Out on the double!" he exclaims, pointing his finger to the opened door. We walk out, but when Jeremy walks by, Jim slaps him on the back.
"Is anything the matter, Jim?" he asks.
"Oh, those darn misquotes," Jim says, chuckling almost nervously. I raise my eyebrow.
That… was weird, I think.
After classes
The bells ring, signaling class is over. All of us start walking out of rooms and towards the cafeteria.
"Just think, I'm going to lunch at the same time Jean-Pierre is dying a slow and painful death because he has nothing to eat," Odd says.
"Life is so tough, and since he's nothing but a piece of plastic with no feelings, he's blaming you for his misery," Ulrich says. Jeremy had stopped walking for some reason, and I see he opens his messenger bag. There's a beeping noise coming from it.
"Hang on," he says, kneeling.
"Hm?" Aelita asks. Jeremy puts his laptop on his knee, and opens it. He lets it load and starts typing.
"Xana's on the attack," he informs.
"Oh, that's great. I'm never going to find Jean-Pierre," Odd groans."Doesn't Xana ever take a little lunch break?"
Jeremy puts his laptop back in his messenger bag.
"No," Jeremy answers. "And so, we're not going to take any, either. Let's go, come on."
"Right!" I nod. We start running towards the manhole entrance.
Afterwards
Lyoko's Ice Sector
After reaching the factory, the others were virtualized first, and I was virtualized last.
Opening my eyes, I fall and my broomstick flies to me, catching me before I fall on the ice. It brings me to the others. I kick my broomstick into the air and together we start driving to the activated tower.
"The activated tower is situated south, southwest," Jeremy informs.
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" Odd exclaims, driving his Overboard faster.
We continue driving along the coordinates Jeremy gave us. Sissi speeds up on her Overbike, catching up to Odd. Mia, Ulrich, and Aelita trail just behind them. Yumi is flying next to me and Ulrich speeds up on his Overbike, passing Odd. This catches Odd off guard and then he speeds up again with his Overboard, passing Aelita and Ulrich.
"Ha ha!" Odd exclaims victoriously. Ulrich speeds up his Overbike and I urge my broomstick to go faster. We continue along the path of the activated tower, approaching it, we see the tower's aura is not red.
"That's crazy," Aelita points out. "The tower is not activated."
"That… that can't be right. I could have sworn last night, that my Super Scan program went off," I say.
"Your Super Scan program? You have your own?" Mia asks.
"Yeah, it was something my father gave to me before I left," I reply.
"Got an explanation, Einstein?" Odd asks, flying a bit faster.
"It seems like Xana has found a way to mess up the Super Scan again," Jeremy surmises. We reach the tower.
"But why would he lure us to Lyoko?" Yumi asks.
"No idea, and I don't like it. I'm bringing you back in right now," Jeremy replies.
I bite my lip pondering what I saw last night.
"I was sure Xana activated a tower. There's no way he could have messed with the copy of Jeremy's laptop," I say. I let go of my lip.
"Then what do you think the problem is?" Sissi asks.
"Not sure," I reply. Odd suddenly starts to fly up on his Overboard. He starts circling around the tower, almost as if he's out of control. Yumi and Sissi can't help but chuckle a bit. Looking at Odd, I can't help but wonder if he's actually in control of his vehicle or not.
"Jeremy, what are you waiting for?" Aelita asks, looking up.
Odd starts flying down but he begins to lose his balance even more and the Overboard suddenly disappears. He falls and lands face flat on the ice.
"Odd!" Sissi exclaims, concerned. She runs to him and helps him up.
"Are you okay?" Sissi asks.
"I'm not sure," Odd replies. Ulrich walks over to Odd.
"What's wrong with you Odd?" he asks.
"Like I said, I'm not sure," Odd replies. Odd's Overboard suddenly rematerializes and it hits Odd in his side. The others can't help but laugh a little, but Yumi, Mia, and I don't laugh.
"Something's very wrong, Jeremy?" Yumi asks, looking up. There's still no answer.
"Fire at me, Odd," Ulrich orders.
"Well, you did make fun of my Tamagotchi, but that's no reason to zap you, Ulrich," Odd jokes.
"This is no time for jokes," Ulrich says.
"I think he's right. After you shoot him, I want you to shoot me too," Mia requests.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Yeah, if Jeremy is in trouble, we need to protect him," Mia replies.
"Then I'm going back too!" Sissi exclaims. Odd looks at her, concerned.
"I'll be fine. I promise," Sissi says, trying to reassure him.
"Okay then, if you're all sure," Odd says. Sissi, Ulrich, and Mia line up side by side. Odd bends down and cocks his paw. He fires several Laser Arrows at Ulrich, then at Mia, and then Sissi. The three of them devirtualize in a cloud of pixels.
POV Sissi's
The scanners doors' open revealing Jim who has somehow followed us to the factory.
"Oh no!" Ulrich exclaims.
"Stern, Bedard, Sissi, I want the three of you to explain to me what all of this UFO equipment is doing here," Jim demands, pointing to the scanner Mia is in.
"Sorry about this, Jim," Ulrich says getting into a Pencak Silat form. "But I have no choice."
Ulrich kicks Jim in the face, and it's a knockout. Mia and I step out of our scanners.
"Ulrich… you didn't have to do that," I say.
"I did, unfortunately. Let's go," Ulrich says.
He runs to the ladder shoot and starts climbing. We run to the ladder shoot as well, and Ulrich reaches the top. He opens the ladder shoot and tsks at someone who I assume is not Jeremy and is in the lab. He makes a motion with his hand signaling us to go move away from the ladder. Mia and I do so, and he climbs down. Reaching the floor, we quietly make our way to the freight elevator.
Afterwards
Inside the freight elevator
The freight elevator brings us up to the factory level. The freight elevator's hangar door opens. Ulrich puts his phone to his ear, having called Jeremy.
"Jeremy, where are you?"
"Ulrich! This is all Xana's doing, you hear me?! Bring everyone back home!" he exclaims loudly enough for all of us to hear.
Ulrich looks at the phone as it seems the call suddenly ended.
"What do we do now?" Mia exasperates.
"Well, Lila did say she thought Xana activated a tower, right?" I ask.
"She did, yeah," Mia nods.
"Then we need to get her copy of Jeremy's laptop," I say.
"Okay, you two go. I'll deal with chuckles downstairs, somehow," Ulrich says.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Yeah, just text me the tower's location and I'll find a way to tell the others," Ulrich replies.
"Gotcha, let's go," I say. Mia and I start running and make our way to Lila and Aelita's room.
POV Lila's
Odd checks his Overboard.
"Seems to be real this time," Odd says, taking a seat on it.
Yumi had taken a seat on a pillar of ice, while Aelita and I pace around.
"I know something is wrong. At the very least we should have heard back from them by now," I say.
"I agree, something doesn't feel right," Aelita says.
POV Sissi's
Inside Lila and Aelita's room
Opening the door to Lila and Aelita's room, Mia and I close the door.
"Where would she keep the laptop?" Mia asks.
"One time, when we traded bodies, she mentioned she had private things in her drawers, including her diary," I say, "so let's check her drawers."
"I got the desk on the right, and you get the one by the window," Mia says.
"Okay," I nod. We go to each set of drawers. I open the first drawer and that one contains some notebooks, pencils, and a diary. Mia opens one drawer, from the other desk.
"Nothing here," Mia says.
I open the second drawer and smile. There's a laptop and a debit card.
"Ha ha, bingo," I say victoriously and take out the laptop. I put it on the desk.
"Mia, I've got it," I say. Mia closes a drawer from Aelita's desk, and, pulling out the chair, she sits. Mia opens the laptop and it loads to the Super Scan program. It starts going through the list of towers.
"Mind telling me what you two are doing in here?" a voice asks from afar. We turn to the door to see Kayori.
"Oh, hey Kayori, um this isn't what it looks like. We're not taking anything from Lila," I say.
Kayori looks at us, in disbelief.
POV Lila's
"Ulrich?" Aelita asks, looking up.
"What's the matter? Where's Jeremy?"
"No idea. I've sent Sissi and Mia to get the tower's location from Lila's copy of Jeremy's laptop. But they haven't called me back yet," Ulrich says.
"There's got to be an activated tower somewhere. We can't waste time waiting for them," Yumi says.
"Maybe not, but at the same time, can we really risk searching Lyoko with a stranger loose in the factory?" I ask.
"It is weird he left like that. But Aelita, you know how awful I am with computers," Ulrich replies.
"You're not that awful, Ulrich. You did launch a return trip that one time," I remind him.
"I know, but I had Jeremy's manual with me," Ulrich says.
"And you have me to guide you this time. Listen carefully," Aelita begins explaining how to find an activated tower.
POV Sissi's
The super scan programs confirms a tower. Mia turns to look at it.
"Mountain Sector. 25 degrees west and 72 degrees south. I'll text Ulrich," Mia says, taking her cell phone out.
"Look, Kayori… we promise we aren't stealing anything. We just needed a bit of information from this laptop," I explain. Kayori sighs.
"And Lila knows you're doing this?" she asks. I nod.
"Yeah she does," I reply.
POV Lila's
"Good news, I just heard from Mia. She confirmed the tower's coordinates," Ulrich informs, as we continue driving along the path.
"That's good," Aelita says.
"It is, yeah, thanks Aelita, for the help," Ulrich says. "Um, you guys better hurry up because...wait a second."
As we're driving along the path, we pass by a block of ice that's off the path and it disappears!
"Huh?" Aelita asks.
"Ulrich, did you by any chance press the wrong button?" I ask.
"No, but something very uncool is going down below," Ulrich replies.
"Ulrich hit the enter key," Aelita says.
There's a short pause.
"Bad news, the guy possessed by Xana is trying to destroy the supercomputer. And the scanners are offline!"
"Xana's plan is diabolical. If the supercomputer is destroyed, Lyoko will disappear and all of us with it!" Aelita exclaims. Yumi flies her Overwing a bit faster.
"You have to get the scanners back online, Ulrich," Yumi says, concerned.
"And quickly too!" I add.
"But I'm no Jeremy, and I can't put anything online. The best thing we can do is to deactivate the tower, while I deal with that creeper downstairs. If Mia comes back with Sissi, tell them what's going on," Ulrich says.
"Roger, be careful!" Odd exclaims as more and more of the sector starts disappearing.
"Time for us to change sectors," Odd says.
"Right let's go!" I exclaim, as we urge our vehicles to go faster.
Afterwards
Lyoko's Mountain Sector
Exiting the tower with our vehicles, we reach the mountain sector and drive by a mountain. We continue flying along a windy path.
"We'd be better watch our life points. If we lose our life points with the scanners offline, it'll be game over for good," Aelita frets.
We continue going down the path as we try to get to the activated tower. We turn onto a new path, but then the path disappears completely! Aelita is caught off guard and is thrown off Ulrich's Overbike.
"I got her!" I exclaim, flying down with my broomstick. Aelita yells as she and Ulrich's Overbike fall. Reaching her, I hold out my hand and she holds out hers. I'm barely able to grab her hand and lift her onto the saddle of my broomstick. The Overbike falls into the digital sea, a blue spiraling light shines from it.
"Good job, Lila!" Yumi exclaims, and I fly Aelita up to her and Odd.
"Woo hoo! That's what I call extreme!" Odd exclaims.
"I would definitely like a little less extreme," I say. "That was just too close."
"It was, let's just hope Mia and Sissi are on their way here," Aelita says, concerned.
With the tower in sight, we fly down to the path that leads to it and then up, seeing the three Megatanks guarding the activated tower. My broomstick, Yumi's Overwing, and Odd's Overbike start to disappear. We fly down closer to the ground, but then our vehicles disappear completely causing Aelita, Yumi, and I to roll onto the ground.
Looking at Odd, he was a bit behind us, and he was flying his Overboard high in the air. It disappears and he starts falling. He screams as he falls, and then using his paws, he claws onto the mountain next to him. He disappears for a bit which concerns me but then we see him using his paws to circle around the mountain. He twirls and jumps down, soon landing on his paws and feet.
"That disappearing act isn't very cool," Odd complains. The Megatanks start rolling towards us. They open and all of us split up. I run with Aelita, Odd runs on his paws and feet, while Yumi cartwheels around. Odd's Megatank unleashes a laser wave, Odd's fires his Laser Arrows at the same time. The Laser Arrows miss, and the wave returns. Yumi takes her Tessen Fans out. Opening them, she throws them at her Megatank but that one unleashes a bigger laser wave, defeating Yumi's attack. She jumps out of the way, and her Tessen Fans don't reach her in time, they get stuck in the ground.
Aelita and I take a stance. She holds out one hand and summons her energy field. Focusing my powers to my hands, my lightning bolt amulet glows and my gauntlets are engulfed with electricity. Aelita uses her other and summons a second energy field. Together the two of us unleash our attacks. Two energy fields fly at the Megatank's laser wave, and two electricity blasts along with it. Our attacks pull through, and causes the wave to break almost like it was glass. The wave disappears. I lose focus and my powers disperse.
One of the Megatanks starts rolling over to Yumi, who is unguarded.
"Yumi!" Aelita exclaims. Aelita holds her hands out and starts singing. Using her creativity ability, she creates a low ramp. The Megatank rolls onto it and flies over Yumi, then falls into the digital sea. Looking at Aelita, she's about to faint, but I catch her, and we see a blue spiraling light of energy coming from the digital sea.
"I've got you," I say as one of the Megatanks fires of a laser wave at Odd. He jumps out of the way, and then it attacks him again and he manages to quickly evade that one, too. I help Aelita up.
Odd fires off a Laser Arrow at the Megatank but it closes in time, and the Laser Arrow reflects off it. Odd groans, annoyed.
"Hey, ever hear of fair play?!" The Megatank starts rolling and chasing after Odd. I grab my arrow. Taking the bow off its hook, I notch the arrow onto the bow.
"Okay, okay I take it back!" he exclaims, with his Megatank continuing to chase him.
Looking at the Megatank ahead of us, it closes and rolls into a position close enough to fire at us. It opens again and I begin to pull my drawstring back. Holding the arrow steady, I see Odd is able to trick his Megatank into knocking the one that's about to open fire at us. The laser wave is unleashed and Odd jumps into the air as another one is unleashed by the one that chased him. The Megatank's laser wave just barely misses us and I let go of my drawstring. The laser wave returns and my arrow flies fast. It hits the one that was aiming for us, in the Xana eye. It explodes.
Getting another arrow for my bow, I notch it onto my bow, and try to aim it at the last Megatank that's chasing Yumi. Yumi circles back to us, however, and the Megatank starts charging its Laser Wave.
"Watch out," Aelita says.
The Megatank fires a laser wave at us, and we tilt our bodies back, just barely dodging it. Odd starts running at the Megatank, and I put my arrow on the bow again. I'm about to pull the drawstring back, but Odd takes the opportunity to fire off several Laser Arrows while the Megatank is distracted. The Laser Arrows fly at the Megatank's eye of Xana, and they hit it. The Megatank explodes.
POV Sissi's
We're backed up into a corner in the factory, having arrived here early but were confronted by two possessed government men. The freight elevator's hangar door opens. The two possessed government men's eyes pulse with eye of Xana, through their black eyeglasses. Suddenly Jim pops up, and grabs their heads by his arms.
"Ha ha! Now who's the boss huh?" Jim asks. The two government men shock Jim, and he's flown back. He crashes onto the floor.
"Jim!" Jeremy exclaims. He told us earlier he was being chased by one of the men... but now we're all in trouble.
POV Lila's
Putting my bow back onto it's hook, and the arrow back in its quiver, I look at Odd.
"Good job," I compliment.
"Thanks. Hurry, Aelita, go on," Odd urges.
"Right," Aelita says. Odd meets up with us, and she starts running to the tower.
POV Sissi's
The government men raise their sparking hands at us. They fire purple electricity at the four of us, Jim still unconscious. We split up, throwing ourselves to the floor in an effort to dodge them. Ulrich picks up a sheet of glass that must have gotten shattered during our battle at some point. Mia spots another sheet of glass, and she picks it up as well. Jeremy and I don't have anything to defend ourselves with. However, the two men fire at them but the electricity is reflected back at them, shocking them. They start phasing in and out, before solidifying shortly. The dark-skinned government man opens his mouth, and starts charging it with purple electricity at all three of us as he begins walking towards us.
Come on guys, please hurry! I think, worried.
Mia and Ulrich's glass breaks.
"Talk about seven years bad luck, huh Ulrich?" Mia asks.
"Yeah," Ulrich grimaces.
Looking for something that can help, I can't seem to find any sort of thing that might be used as a weapon against these guys.
We're not going to make it! I think.
POV Lila's
The three of us watch Aelita walk into the tower slowly, phasing into the tower's 'doorway.'
"Please, tell me we've made it on time," I say, concerned for our friends.
"We had to, I'm sure we did," Yumi says, trying to reassure me.
We watch the tower's aura turn from red to blue.
POV Sissi's
The two possessed government fall down. The four of us take a collective sigh.
"They did it," I sigh.
"Yeah. Now to launch a return to trip," Jeremy says, looking at two unpossessed government men and Jim.
Afterwards
Inside the lab
Jim scratches his head while Jeremy is preparing the return trip.
"Honestly, I haven't gotten slightest idea what this junk is used for. What did you say it was used for?" he asks.
"We didn't say anything at all, Jim," I reply.
"It looks like the supercomputer has taken a hit, it's pretty badly damaged," Jeremy says, and he continues typing on the keyboard.
"I hope it'll work again."
"Hope what will work again? Sissi, can't you explain what's going on? Is this why you've been hanging out with Belpois, Smith and the others?" Jim asks.
"Sorry, Jim," I reply. "But a secret is a secret," I smile. The others smile and Jeremy presses the enter key.
"Return to the past now!" he exclaims, holding the enter key. The white bubble comes out of the holosphere and engulfs all of us, sending us back in time.
POV Lila's
It's early in the morning, before the others have woken up to take Odd's Tamagotchi. Opening the door, Odd and Ulrich are still sleeping, as well as Kiwi.
Odd, I know you care about this Tamagotchi. So I'm going to give it to someone who I know will take good care of it, I think.
I quietly walk into the room and go to where Odd's Tamagotchi is, by the side of his bed. Picking it up, I put it in my pocket. Kiwi opens his eyes and looks at me, before closing them again. I sigh internally and go to the door. Reaching the door, I close it quietly behind me.
Afterwards
Outside Kayori and Emily's room
I knock on Kayori and Emily's door. Emily opens the door.
"Lila?" she asks groggily. "Don't you know what time it is?"
"Yeah, it's early," I reply. "Look you're my girlfriend's roommate and I know you have a cousin who has a thing for Tamagotchi's, right?"
"Yeah," Emily nods. "She takes pretty good care of them. Who told you that?"
"Kayori did," I reply. "But look, I need you to give this to her, and have her take care of it, okay?" I ask, taking the Tamagotchi out of my pocket and handing it to Emily. She takes it.
"I'll give it to her for sure. What's it's name?"
"Jean–Pierre," I reply. "Its previous owner came up with that."
"That's a strange name for a Tamagotchi. Isn't that our principal's name?" I nod.
"Yeah, it is. Look, I know we've had a few problems, but it would really mean a lot if you can-" I start to say but she smiles.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure it gets a good home," she says.
"Thanks," I smile.
Afterwards
Outside the cafeteria
We're waiting outside the cafeteria for Odd and Ulrich, who finally show up. Odd appears to be holding something, looking at it closely it appears to be a video camera.
There was a camera in his room this time?! GREAT! I think, sighing internally.
"Listen up, everybody," Odd says, holding his video camera up. He and Ulrich walk over to us. "Now we're going to see who Jean-Pierre's kidnapper was."
He turns the video camera on and shows the video of me sneaking in this morning.
"It was you, Lila? But – but why?" Odd asks.
"For one, Odd, I did it to give Jean-Pierre a good home," I explain. "Two, sorry Yumi, but I didn't think Hiroki would take care of Odd's Tamagotchi."
"I understand," Yumi says.
"Wait if you stole Jean-Pierre this time, then the first time… it was all of you?!" Odd exclaims. "You're all a bunch of traitors!"
"Odd, I promise you, Jean-Pierre is getting a good home," I say, trying to calm him down. He looks at me and sighs.
"Fine, I just can't believe my girlfriend did this the first time, too," he says.
"Odd, I care about you. That Tamagotchi, however, would have distracted you from doing well, so I think you've got to look on the brighter side of things," Sissi says.
"And what's that?" Odd asks.
"Like Lila said, it'll have a good home," Mia replies. "Right Lila?"
"For sure," I nod.
"And don't let Lila take all of the blame. The first time, we all did it. It was for you. You were starting to get hooked on it," Ulrich adds.
"And you're absolutely sure?" Odd asks. I look at Odd.
"Yes Odd, I'm absolutely sure. Jean-Pierre is in good hands."
At least that's my hope, I think.
Author's Note: Haha yes I changed the destiny of Odd's Tamagotchi. I always felt bad that it got destroyed because Hiroki threw it on the road and the car crushed it. A comment about the activated tower's aura. Lila's first memory of it was according to Jeremy, when a tower's aura was red it meant it was activated. If it was blue it meant it was deactivated. In the show sometime starting in season 3 and all the way to the ending of four, they changed it. I'm not sure why they did but for continuity's sake a deactivated tower's aura in this fanfiction will always be blue. Also, don't forget to check out The Adventures of Lila Belpois. The filler saga is almost done with The Robots being the latest chapter.
