Dedication: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to discontinued-evil81, Frog Disease, notcreativeenoughtomakeone, and LyokoWarrior (in order of who review the first chapter) who have reviewed pretty much every chapter of this story. Since there's four of them, I'll call them the fantastic four:) I really appreciate the reviews so keep it up. And if you're new to my story, review, someday a chapter might be dedicated to you!

A/N If you recall in chapter two in an A/N I said there was three future plot points that was hinted. Well, one was Xenon's laptop which holds many things and secrets of Lyoko and sector seven. Two, one was how Xenon kept talking saying things like; "I took myself to find the factory. For the next ten years, I took care of Aelita." I took myself? Xenon's older self took the two year old Xenon to the factory and when Xenon said I took care of Aelita. She meant mostly her older self since she was growing up. The third thing was when Xenon thought, "Well, I have to do a better job this time around." She of course meant that this was a brand new start to trying to save Odd has her older self had failed.

I just wanted to say that now that you finally know about the third thing. So, you see, I sneak in some plot points that you might not think of and minor things can change into big things. Chapter 8!

Xenon woke up to a cozy warm feeling. A headache came and she groaned. She wondered why a headache came. She moaned silently as she remembered someone had spiked the punch at the Halloween dance. She felt around with her eyes closed to her bed side table with a drawer and opened it to take out a Tylenol. The coldness of November first bit her arm as it was not use to being out of the warmth of her bed. Xenon swallowed the small pill. She wiggled in more into her bed wondering why after very little punch she was having a huge headache and also wondered why her bed felt so good to be in. Maybe it was it the magic of last night.

She rolled over and opened her eyes. Xenon screamed in surprise at seeing Odd's asleep face and fell out her bed. Odd woke up and was just as surprise that he had slept in Xenon's room.

"I don't think I ordered a wake up call." Odd said, a little sleepily.

"What happened?" Xenon asked out loud to herself. "I know you came back to my room," Xenon blushed slightly remembering Odd seen her almost completely naked. As Xenon paused, Odd blushed, remembering too. The image of Xenon only in a bra and panties seemed to be permanently stuck in Odd's mind. "You came back to give me a kiss and I received a couple. I don't remember anything after that…I probably fell asleep. You didn't do anything did you?"

"What?" Odd asking, in surprise. "No, of course not. You know me anything that I think that would make you uncomfortable, I don't do or apologize."

"Don't take it personally." Xenon laughed. "I just thought it would be good to ask." Odd relaxed and got up out of the bed. He was shirtless and was only wearing black pants that he had worn to the dance. Odd kissed her and Xenon wrapped her arms around Odd and pressed her body against his. Odd moved his hand through her long blonde hair. It feels so soft. Odd thought. Like silk or something. Odd and Xenon broke the kiss for air.

Odd looked at the window which curtains covered. He sighed in relief. At continued at looked at it in surprise. "What time is it?" Odd asked holding Xenon close to her with his hand still in her hair. Outside of the window the sun had washed everything with a deep red.

Xenon looked at a digital clock on her desk. "5:37."

"5:37?" Odd asked wondering why anyone would get up at that hour.

"I'm a morning person and no matter how late I got to sleep, I wake up at around 5:30." Xenon said.

"I was wondering," Odd said, while taking his hand out Xenon's hair. "Why did you take the purple streaks out?" Odd asked while rubbing the spot where his purple dyed hair was.

"I felt like being a real blonde." Xenon responded, running a hand over Odd's bare chest. "I mean sooner or later, there'll be a time when I'll be leaving those streaks behind." Odd stared into Xenon's purple eyes. "But that'll be a while, it'll be at least till be beat Xana sometime in the future. I'll bring the streaks back soon." They were silent for a while and then a smile appeared on Xenon's face. She was clearly trying to keep a fit of giggles down.

"What?" Odd asked.

"Well, we could say we slept in the same bed." Xenon said.

"Yeah, but we didn't do anything. It was innocent." Odd said.

"If my dad found out, innocent or not, he would kill you." Xenon said. Odd thought on that.

"Now I know how Ulrich feels." Odd saying, and knew Ulrich and Yumi weren't innocent and Yumi's dad was very protective of her. "How many masks do you have?"

"What do you mean?" Xenon asked, confused.

"When I first met you, I had the impression that you were someone that couldn't be hurt. I mean you're first day on Lyoko Xana almost killed you and you acted like nothing happened and then you faked your death as if it was normal. As I got to know you more, you opened up a little and let me in. When we went to the hermitage, I had never seen you sad or cry, but you did then. You also let me go deeper and be more than just a friend."

"Odd," Xenon said slowly, "I am only human. Things jolted for me when I came back here. I saw my sister again and found someone I love." Xenon smiled before she wrapped her arms around Odd's neck and gave him a kiss.

It was the last period of the days. Jeremie was in a computer class, Odd was in an art class, Yumi was in calculus, and Ulrich was in a drama class to cover the performing arts elective. Xenon didn't have a period, so she laid down on a patch of grass on campus and relaxed as she waited for the period to end. Xenon's mind drifted in and out of thoughts.

(Flash back)

"Tower deactivated." Aelita said as she put in the code. The tower's aura changed from red to blue. Aelita floated back down to the first level of the tower and walked out into mountain sector. She saw her sister who was eight years old. Xenon was wearing a karate robe with purple sash and white flip flops.

"Xana's attack in the real world wasn't that strong this time so there was no need for a return to the past." Xenon said. Aelita wrapped an arm around her sister, who was about a foot and half shorter as there was a four year difference between them, technically.

"Yeah. I still find it strange though." Aelita said. "I mean we were born on the same day and you're older than me, but as of right now I technically eighteen years old, but if I was materialized to Earth I'd be twelve. And you have a body of an eight year old."

"Well, time travel and not aging in a virtual world can be confusing." Xenon replied.

"I wish I could just go to school and be a normal kid."

"You know you have to wait for four years more only." Xenon said.

"I don't understand why I have to wait."

"Well, in four years we'll both have the bodies of twelve years old and then the timeline will take its course and hopefully we can make it right this time."

"I still don't understand why we have to."

"Well, we need to fix our father's mistake of separating us and then I had to travel through time when I was two. This is the way to make it right. And besides my older self said we'll love the two guys we'll go out with. This way just makes it right."

"But when I think about it feels like an arranged marriage. We'll be destined to fall in love with the guy. Has your older self ever shown a picture of the guy you'll love or me?"

"No, she said when she came to the past she didn't bring anything with her. She was mostly concerned about saving the person she loved."

"Time for bed." Xenon's older voice came to them. She talked to her younger self as if she was her mother.

"Alright. Goodnight, Aelita." Xenon said and waved.

"Sleep well." Aelita said, missing being able to sleep especially sleeping with her doll called Mr. Puck. Xenon materialized her younger self back Earth. The younger Xenon came out of the scanner tired and took the elevator up a floor. She wore white sneakers, blue jeans, and a purple jacket. Her hair down and was just a plain blonde.

The elevator opened to reveal the supercomputer and holo-map of sector one through four and sector five was in the center. Around the room were two Japanese style beds covered with purple bedspreads. There were two bookshelves which had many books covering topics like the school subjects' such as math and history. There were also language books which contain Japanese and English grammar, dictionaries, and books. Xenon home schooled her younger self.

The younger Xenon walked over to her older self who was sitting at the supercomputer and on the screen it showed long codes, but Xenon wasn't typing in any codes at the moment. She was looking at a small, worn picture. Xenon walked up to her older self and looked at the picture.

The picture showed an older Xenon with purple streaks in her hair. She looked seventeen or eighteen and wore a black mini skirt and a purple shirt. There was a boy holding her close. He had blonde hair spiked up with a purple dot in the center. He wore all purple. He wore a goofy smile and held Xenon close, almost protectively. Xenon's older self looked at the picture with a slight smile.

"That's the guy?" the younger Xenon asked.

"Huh?" Xenon, said snapping out of the past or was it the future? She noticed her younger self and put the picture away quickly. But she knew it wouldn't do any good. "Yeah." She said sounding slightly defeated.

(End flash back)

Xenon tightened her eyes slightly in sadness. She didn't know what brought on this emotion. She had a hunch, but she ignored it. Xenon became aware of someone stroking her cheek with a couple fingers. In the pit of her stomach something churned and she slapped the hand and opened her eyes. She saw a shocked Odd. Odd rubbed his right hand. Odd was sitting down on the ground next to Xenon. As Xenon had been thinking of the past she hadn't realized the bell had rung for the end of the school day.

"I'm sorry." Xenon apologized quickly.

"It's alright." Odd said. He noticed the tears that were threatening to fall from Xenon's eyes. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing--"

"I know something is wrong. What is it?" Odd asked softly.

"I—I was just thinking of the past." Xenon said quietly. Odd didn't say anything. He knew Xenon's past was terrible. Being raised by yourself, be destined to do many things without a say, being born by test tube, to not being able to be a kid, to name a few. Sure some people had bad pasts, he did, but it did not compare to Xenon's.

Odd held Xenon in his arms and swayed her side to side trying to comfort her. Odd slipped away to his imagination.

Odd and Xenon were in their twenties. Odd was in a suit having just come home from his computer company, DRT. Xenon was on vacation from college as he had insisted that one of them should go to college for their future children. Odd was standing behind Xenon swaying her side to side. They were in their house.

"Daddy!" A girl's voice came. Odd turned to the voice. It was unexpected. Odd planned not to have children till Xenon had finished college…

-()-

"Maddie!" A girl called one of her friends running to catch up with her. The girl calling to her friend, Maddie must have entered my daydream and I twisted it in my mind so it sounded like daddy. Odd thought. Xenon had relaxed in Odd's arms and leaned against him. I have to stop thinking things like this. Odd told himself. I know I love Xenon, but what if something happens. And when ever have I found someone who'd I'd be willing to spend the rest of my life with? This isn't like me…

-()-

Xenon and Odd were in Xenon's room. Odd was working on some art work and Xenon was at her laptop. Xenon was typing a long series of codes at lightning fast speed. After having typed for about two hours which added up to about a half million characters, she stopped and relaxed. Xenon flexed her fingers and they made cracking noises.

"I think I'm finally done." Xenon said and sighed with relief.

"With what?" Odd asked looked up from a drawing he had been working on which featured himself, Xenon, and Kiwi.

"I think I've completed sector seven." Xenon responded. "Well, with putting in codes so there's no way for Xana to get in, four towers which can send you to the first four sectors, the five senses being able to work, and the design of the sector. After a couple years of effort, I'm finally done with it enough to be virtualized there--"

Xenon stopped because her watch beeped. "A tower in the mountain region, he has a polymorphic out on Earth." Odd sighed as he was tired. It was a school night and it was eleven.

"Xana couldn't wait till morning could he?" Odd asked.

"Seems not." Xenon said while she looked around and listened to see if there was anything strange and usual.

A/N I had originally planned for someone to get sent to sector seven, but I ended up with this. I feel this chapter has more back round behind Xenon. I thought it was a good time to tell about both Xenons' and Aelita and what life was like for them because Jeremie had found the supercomputer.

I finally reached 20,000 words! Yay! and I'm only have eight chapters. I haven't even gone through half of my story yet. Well, this story is probably going to go on for a while. I hope to finish it by next summer and maybe start on the sequel if I can find more things to go with the plot(right now I have two possible beginnings to the sequel but I know I should concentrate on what I'm writing now, but my mind often wanders). I know that the end of the story at least be finished by the summer seems long, but I have a lot of points to cover. If you let a story stew in your mind for oh let's say seven months (like I did before I finally started to write) and daydream a lot you wouldn't believe what you can come up with.

Oh and the sentence: "snapping out of the past or was it the future?" Well, to the older Xenon it's the past because she time traveled back and to the younger Xenon it's the future because she hasn't gotten to that part of her life yet.

I also read through chapter 1-7 and revised them. I added something and changed sometimes. The most dramatic addion was that I gave Odd's dad a name which is Porfirio Della Robbia. I picked out the name specially and it sort of fits for Odd.

So, don't forget to review! I worked hard to do a chapter in less than a week with school going on so, so the least I'm asking of you is to review. Also, remember I welcome questions!
