Disclaimer: I do not own anything for Code Lyoko except for Xenon Smith who is a character I made up. I do not own the idea for sector six, which controls the return to the past program. I read notcreativeenoughtomakeone story, "The Future Isn't Written", "Past, Present, and Future", and "Time line." (It's a trilogy). And that's where I got the idea of sector six. I do not own the song titled, "The very thought of you." I did change a few words, but I do not own the song.

Dedication: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Steve Irwin who died this past week. I grew up watching him do crazy thing like dealing with crocodiles and one episode he was swimming with jellyfish. I remember once on the show he got bit by a poisonous snake and went to the hospital on the show. I don't know about you, but I'll never forget about Steve Irwin.

A/N I'm so sorry for taking so long to update. I'm was getting into the swing of school, getting use to my surroundings as I had just moved before the new school year, and I got a knew laptop without a writing program and I also after school I'm too tried to think so I usually just relax or drift off to sleep (I do my homework doing my free period.) I know I say I'll update as fast as I can, I really am trying. Also, I'm starting French which I'm doing horrible in. I can't remember my numbers. But when I try I think of Japanese numbers which I learned by via a Japanese-English dictionary last year (By heart I can write and say up to 9,999). You would believe how embarrassing it is to speak Japanese in a French class.

I've read a couple of stories where Odd owns a company. Or maybe that was just in your stories, notcreativeenoughtomakeone. Odd owns one in the trilogy, listed above, and in "Aelita dirty little secret" and "Over Christmas Break." Well, on with my story.

Detention with Jim was pointless. Xenon could be spending the time with Odd, working on sector seven, or doing regular stuff like homework. The two weeks crawled by and Odd was with her during her time with Jim. Meanwhile, Xana hadn't activated a tower since Xenon faked her death. They knew he was just saving up his energy for another attack, most likely on Xenon.

Xenon's watched beeped telling her it was six o'clock. It was also her last day of detention. She dropped her mop, which she had been using to mop the gym floor. She walked over to Odd who was on a bleacher.

"Miss Smith, you here a pick up this mop right now, ya hear?" Jim said over to Xenon and Odd who were walking toward the exit of the gym.

"Sorry Jim. I've done my detention time. Bye." Xenon said as she walked out of the gym. Xenon and Odd walked toward the cafeteria. They saw Sissi with Nicolas and Herb putting up a big sign on the side of the wall of the cafeteria. Xenon and Odd walked over to see what it was. Sissi turned to them.

"I suppose you two will be going to the Halloween dance together." Sissi said, while gesturing to the sign. The sign read. 'Halloween Dance. Formal dance, no costumes. Must be at least thirteen to attend or be asked to the dance by someone thirteen or older.'

"Yep." Odd said. "Whom will you go with?" Odd looked between Nicolas and Herb wondering which one Sissi would settle for pimple face or someone who always wears their gym shorts? Sissi ignored his question and stalked off with Herb and Nicolas following.

"Who said I wanted to go to the dance with you?" Xenon said sarcastically. Xenon smiled as Odd and her walked into the cafeteria as a crowd stared to gather around the sign.

They walked out of Mrs. Hertz class having just gotten their grades from their science projects.

"I can't believe I got my first A in science." Odd said stunned, as they walked out of the classroom.

"Have you ever gotten an A?" Ulrich asked.

"Yes, I have." Odd said, sounding offended even though he wasn't.

"Besides art, what classes?" Aelita asked.

"Well," Odd said, thinking. Art was the only thing he could think of. "I got an A when we took that Italian class about four years ago." Jeremie groaned at the thought. That Italian class and gym were the only classes he ever failed.

"Italiano troppo duro per voi, Jeremie?" Odd asked him with a smile on his face. Jeremie sighed at the fact he had no clue what Odd had just said.

"Aelita, what are you going to wear at the Halloween Dance?" Xenon asked.

"Well, over the years I've wore pink dresses that Yumi's parents give her." Aelita said.

"I guess Sunday we'll have to go into town and make it a girl's day out." Xenon said and Aelita smiled. She loved having a sister.

"Can I join you?" Yumi asked catching up to them having just coming from her calculus class.

"Of course." Xenon said. They split up Yumi & Ulrich, Aelita & Jeremie, and Xenon & Odd went in different directions.

Odd and Xenon walked through the park. They walked hand in hand going in the direction that they're feet carried them. They arrived at the hermitage. Xenon smiled at the memory of the house having not visited or laid eyes upon since the age of six months of age when Franz Hopper took her from her crib to be put in a foster home.

Xenon opened the rusty gate with a creak and walked on the parched, dead lawn. She opened the front door and walked into the mess that was inside. Odd knew this was important to Xenon and stayed quiet but as he walked in went in prepare for anything mode as Xana had thrown desks and other objects at him over the years.

Xenon stopped in the hallway and closed her eyes trying to remember what the hermitage was like about twenty-six years ago. She saw a well-kept house but the details were blurry. Maybe that's what Xenon had imagined what the house had looked like or maybe she remembered it when she was six months old.

Xenon went on instinct and walked up the stairs and walked inside a room that everything was a very faded pink color. She remembered a painted pink and purple room. She supposed that after the Smiths adopted her, Franz Hopper and Raisa had painted the room entirely pink for Aelita washing away any sign of Xenon so Aelita wouldn't remember Xenon's innocent purple eyes.

Xenon sat on the dusty faded pink-blanketed twin bed and Odd sat down next to her. Xenon stared around the room. Her expression grew sad and silent tears fell down her face. She turned to Odd and cried into his chest. She shook and wasn't able to control herself. Odd rubbed her back shocked. He had never seen Xenon cry. She held up a mask of a strong and nothing-can get-me-down, but here she was crying her heart out.

"It's alright." Odd whispered to Xenon trying to comfort her.

"Th-they," Xenon hiccupped, clinging onto Odd. "They didn't even want me. I was a fluke. If I hadn't worked, they wouldn't have cared." Xenon released years of sadness that she had pushed away and coming back to the hermitage had pushed her too far; she couldn't push it down any more and it was all being released.

"I would have cared. Aelita would have. If you weren't born than Aelita probably would have died and Xana would have gotten out of the supercomputer and killed us all." Odd said rocking Xenon gently side to side. A smile twitched on Xenon's face. Thoughts rushed through Xenon's head. Xenon released herself from Odd and moved closer to his face. Her heart pounded.

"Odd," Xenon whispered. "I know we've only know each other for a month or so, but I've never felt this way before. Odd," Xenon took a deep breath. "I love you." Odd moved his head closer too.

"I love you too." They kissed passionately. After a couple of minutes of Odd and Xenon not knowing what their bodies had in mind. They came to their senses and realized Odd was on top of Xenon and was shirtless, but they hadn't remembered how they had gotten like that. "I'm sorry." Odd said, suddenly embarrassed at what had happened and didn't want Xenon to feel weird. He started to get up when Xenon wrapped her arms around his neck to keep him down.

"I'm fine." Xenon said forgetting about her sadness as she traced his toned muscular chest with a finger before she started to kiss him again.

The next Sunday Yumi, Aelita, and Xenon went into town to look for formal dresses for the Halloween dance. Odd had wanted to stay with Xenon who ever since the day at the hermitage and stayed by her side when ever he could. But Xenon reminded him it was a girl's day out and would only be out for a couple of hours. She also gave him a couple of kisses out at the gate before they left. Odd seemed to like the trade and waved as the girls headed into town.

Aelita had picked out a soft pink halter-top dress. It was cut below the knees and it didn't show much cleavage. Xenon had found a deep purple strapless dress and it was cut diagonally at the bottom. Finding a dress for Yumi was harder. She wanted a black dress, of course, but couldn't find 'the one.' Aelita and Xenon wanted it to be a wow dress. They said since this was almost the only formal dance in the school year and the last one for Yumi, she should get something that would just surprise Ulrich. After about an hour of searching, they had found it. Xenon described it as, 'the little black dress.' It was within the school dress code but just was pushing the boundaries.

"Ulrich is going to be drooling all over you, Yumi." Aelita said when they got to Yumi's house so she could put the dress away. Yumi smiled at the thought. When they got to the school, they found the boy's coming back from lunch. Jeremie and Odd tried to see what kind of dresses their girlfriends had bought, Odd was more eager.

"Odd, you'll just have to wait till Halloween." Xenon smiled before she gave him a hug.

On Halloween, in the afternoon, all the girls seemed to disappear as they went to get ready for the dance which was hours away. The dance started at seven and ended at eleven. Around six, the boys started to get ready too. Outside of the gym, couples and dates met each other. Odd, Jeremie, and Ulrich waited for Xenon, Aelita, and Yumi near the doors of the gym.

Aelita and Xenon walked up to Jeremie and Odd. Xenon wore the dress she had bought. Xenon's skin seemed to glow and her blonde hair were missing it's normal purple streaks and seemed to be pure gold. She was also wearing a silver cursive 'X' necklace. As for Aelita she wore the soft pink halter dress. She seemed to sparkle and her lips were irresistibly red and if girls hadn't kept their boyfriends in line, Aelita would have definitely been hit on.

Xenon and Aelita and gave Odd and Jeremie a kiss. Jeremie blushed a beet red color and Odd blushed a little, and they were both equally frozen in time. Aelita and Jeremie nor Xenon and Odd had kissed in public before. As Aelita and Xenon pulled away before their boyfriends could react, they smiled and gave each other a high-five. Odd recovered before Jeremie and walked over to Xenon and kissed her.

"Where's Yumi?" Ulrich asked. He wondered where she was as she didn't come with Xenon and Aelita. Also, the girls seemed to be in a strange mood and he wished silently that Yumi was in the same mood. Someone tapped him on the shoulder and turned around and desperately wished that the person wasn't Sissi. It wasn't. It was Yumi.

As Aelita had predicted, Ulrich was practically drooling over Yumi's appearance. Odd whispered something in Xenon's ear and walked her into the gym and Aelita and Jeremie followed them.

"Hi Ulrich." Yumi finally said. Ulrich was stunned. Never in the time he had known Yumi did he think that she'd wear a dress like that, but wasn't going to complain.

"Hi Yumi." Ulrich took Yumi's hand and lead her inside. He passed William as he walked inside. William was envious of Ulrich. His date was Priscilla Blaise, but he'd much rather have it be Yumi especially with the dress she was wearing.

As the night begun they played fast music which consisted mostly of techno, but as the night grew a lot of slow songs played. Also, someone had spiked the punch. Jim walked around a broke up couples who were kissing, standing way to close, or making body contact at all.

The very thought of you and I forget to do the little ordinary things that everyone ought to do.

Odd and Xenon swayed as the danced slowly to the song and stared into each other's eyes.

I'm living in a kind of daydream and foolish though it may seem, to me your everything.

Odd and Xenon listened to their hearts race as they always did when they were around each other. Right then and there, nothing else mattered they didn't care about anything or anyone around them. They just wanted each other.

You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you. It's just the thought or you. The very thought of you, my love.

As the song ended Xenon and Odd exchanged a quick kiss before Jim tore them apart and both Xenon and Odd blushed and went to get some punch as another slow song came on. Odd and Xenon sipped on the punch and tasted the beer but didn't say or show having tasted it. If a teacher knew, all hell would probably break loose.

"Let's go outside." Odd said, holding his hand out and Xenon accepted it. They walked out to the cool breeze of October. Odd wrapped an arm around Xenon as she didn't have anything on her bare shoulders. His embrace felt warm and comforting. Xenon loved it. She never really had a real boyfriend that made her feel like Odd was doing now.

"Odd, can I tell you something?" Xenon asked.

"Of course." Odd said.

"You were my first real kiss. I'm mean I had the kindergarten peck on the cheek but that is basically it." Xenon confessed. "Who was your first kiss?"

"I girl named in California where I lived before I came to Kadic." Odd replied. "But I wish it was with you. Also, I can't believe your first kiss was with me. You seem experienced."

"Well, let's say my older self when I was younger gave me some tips to try and make my future love life better." Xenon replied looking around at the night that surrounded them.

"I'm confused with all the time travel. I think your mom said you're older self came to get you when you were two years old to help and try to save someone who had died. Who died?" Odd asked. Xenon stared at the waxing gibbous moon in the sky and didn't say anything. "I died didn't I?" Odd couldn't think of any other reason why Xenon would travel back twenty eight years to try to save someone, who she probably cared about a lot. Besides him she most likely would have gone back to save Aelita, but the way she didn't answer him seemed to say is was him. "What happened?"

"I—I," Xenon seemed to be on the verge of tears. She wanted to tell him what not to do in a year in a half, but her older self told her not to. "I can't tell you that." Odd noticed her tears and her makeup running and wiped it off her face with his thumb.

"I'm sorry." Odd whispered. Xenon hiccupped and swayed in Odd's arms.

"I'm just torn from telling you and listening to my older self."

"It's alright." Odd said. They walked around in silenced for a while. The moon rose higher into the sky before Odd started to talk again. "I'm just confused. If you're older self came back from the future to save me and got you when you were two. Then you'd would have to gone through you're life till I died to go back to when you were two to save me. But when did it start?"

Xenon thought. "I don't know. Time travel is strange maybe it's just always been that way. Time travel and trying to figure this out is hurting my head." Xenon smiled. "And to think something deep is coming from you."

"I have my moments." Odd was glad she was her normal self. They walked to the gym to dance some more, but when they got there the gym was dark and no one was around. "I guess we were gone longer than we thought." They walk toward the dorms. They reached room 112, Xenon's room. Xenon yawned and suddenly realized how tired she was. She unlocked her door and walked inside.

"Good night, Xenon." Odd said.

"Good night." Xenon said before Odd left for his room. Odd walked down the hallway and almost got to the stairs that would lead to the third floor and remember he hadn't given Xenon a good night kiss. He walked back Xenon's room. He had just been there and didn't bother to knock. His widen in shock of seeing Xenon in nothing more than a lacy purple strapless bra and panties. They blushed a deep red and Odd walked into the hallway and shut the door behind him, very embarrassed. Why didn't I think to knock? Odd asked himself. As Odd stood out the hallway, he noticed how it was unnaturally quiet. Maybe it was a warning for some unforeseen danger. Xenon opened the door wearing a purple tank top and jean shorts.

"Yes, Odd?" Xenon asked as if nothing had happened.

"I forgot to give you a good night kiss." Odd said taking Xenon's lead. Xenon smiled as Odd pulled her towards him for a kiss. It got intense. Xenon pulled Odd into her room while Odd pushed Xenon into her room. They almost tripped to the ground. Odd closed the door behind him and locked it. He had a feeling he should lock it just in case. They fell onto Xenon's bed and kissed each other passionately. They didn't noticed has the endless moments past by. Neither knew when they drifted off to sleep.

A/N I'm glad I finally finished another chapter after all the time. I'll promise to finish chapter eight sooner than I did seven! Don't forget to review!
