FINALLY! I wrote this SOOOOO long ago, but my editer took TOO long!!! Oh well.

I have to say I have enjoyed writing this. I'm not say this is the last chapter, but the last chapter has been written. (Yes, it is coming to an end) I have to say my favorite chapter was chapter 6. I was truely inspired to write it.

Anyways, I don't own Code lyoko or anything. Just Dannie, but I think we all know this by now. Enjoy!

Chapter 16

Yumi and I walked to her house together; she helping me keep my mind off of him.

When we got to her room, we got right to work, starting on me. She started with my hair, than my makeup. Last was me getting into the dress. We then switch positions. We had been laughing the whole time, making jokes and listening to music.

It soon came to the time when we had to leave to head to the dance. As we walked up, I noticed that Odd was standing there, Ulrich nowhere to be found.

'A good sign,' I thought as Odd lead me into the dance.

---

Everything seemed to stop when I heard 'Kiss Me' ring out through the speakers at the dance.

"Want to dance?" Asked Odd, remembering that I had left at this time before.

"Sure," I replied, not really sure. I felt him move closer, but I felt like I couldn't move. All I could remember was the moon light hitting Ulrich's face as he sat next to me, or how his hands had felt around me, as if he was the missing piece to my jig saw puzzle.

I shook it off quickly when I felt Odd's arms around my waist, reminding me I was dancing with him, not Ulrich.

Odd's arms felt nice around me, but not like he was a missing piece.

'STOP DANNIE! You like Odd, not HIM! He's always a jerk to you, ever since you met him, and that's all he'll ever be. But Odd was there, and was a great friend.'

I shook everything out of my mind and came back down to the stuffy gym.

I rested my head on Odd's shoulder to look out over it. I saw a shadow in the doorway, which nobody was standing by. The figure stepped into the light more, letting me take in his appearance. His built body, cute face, sweet lips, EVERTHING was perfect on him.

'NO! Don't think that!' I kept yelling at myself as I took Ulrich's looks in.

I saw him slowly turn his head through the gym, like he was looking for someone, until he stopped on me.

He looked deep into my eyes, going deep into me to a spot where no one could see.

I looked back into his deep brown chocolate eyes. I saw something there, something he wasn't sure about it seemed, but for me was perfectly clear: hurt.

He looked at Odd and me as a tear came out, him not realizing that it had. He shook his head and turned away, walking back out to the cold night with the perfect moon that shone down from the sky.

I felt like a bus had just hit me; like everything was collapsing beneath my feet as I watched the door to the gym swing closed where Ulrich had been once standing.

I slowly moved back from Odd, not able to take this any longer. Odd looked a little surprised at this but when he saw my face he became worried.

"What's wrong Dannie? Are you ok?" He asked as he moved a hand to rest on my cheek.

"No Odd. There is something I need to tell you," I spoke, my voice cracking. I think I am crying, but I'm not sure. All I can see though is Ulrich's face.

"What is it?" He asked, even more worried, as he led me to the side of the dance.

"Odd, I love you, but... but...,"

"Only as a brother," He finished, with an understanding smile. I was shocked. He had known, but had said nothing.

He seemed to know what I was thinking before saying, "I have known since before I asked you out, I just hoped that I could still get you to like me as much as I like you. But I think things got worst as we went out..."

I was so surprised at how understanding he was, at how he had known that I was in lo... had a crush on some one else before even I knew.

"It's ok Dannie, we can be friends. What I want you to do though, for you, and me, go to him. Just do that for our relationship." Odd said as he took my hands, rubbing each with a thumb.

I smiled down at him, through my tears that where tearing down my face. "Thank you," I whispered before I hugged him, letting him know how much he meant to me.

"Go," he spoke as he stepped back from our hug. I gave a small smile and the nod of the head before I ran off, out of the gym, and into the night air.

If I knew him well, I know where he would have gone.

YEP! It happened. Dannie relized who was right for her. Sorry to all the people who wanted it to be Odd.

Now I want you to do one thing for me. REVEIW!! And if you want to do two things for me, check out my other stuff. That would be REALLY epic of you.

Bye for now.
