Disclaimer: The song that I use in this chapter called, "Over it" by Annelise Van Der Pol, I do not own. I used it because it reflects Xenon perfectly. And I own Xenon.

Odd and Xenon grew even closer over the month of November.
How could you know,
that behind my eyes a sad girl cried. And how could you know, that I
hurt so much inside. And how could you know, that I'm not the average
girl,
I'm carrying the weight of the world.
Odd held Xenon close in her room. "What if I'm never accepted? I mean after we defeat Xana and people found out that I wasn't born – the natural way." Xenon couldn't bear to say that she was experiment, "and not having a normal birth like they did?"
"I don't know." Odd responded. Xenon looked crestfallen. She had wanted to know what would happen. "But what ever happens just know, I'll always be there for you." Xenon smiled, the sighed.
"I'm just scared of the future and not being accepted. It's one of my greatest fears." Xenon said as Odd rocked her back and forth.
"I know."

So can you get me
outta here and take me away. We'll jump in the car, drive til' the
gas runs out and then walk so far. That we can't see this place
anymore, take a day off, give it a rest, so I can forget about this
mess.
"I wish I had born normal. I never would have to deal with Xana. I wish he never existed. I'd never had to suffer this much." Xenon said to Odd. They walked around the park next to the school on a cool, crisp November night.
"I don't." Odd said. Xenon looked at Odd, slightly confused. "Without Xana, I never would have known you. I would be with some girl that probably would not last long. I'd search for the perfect person, not knowing it was with you. And I might have passed you on the street and never know what I could be having right now. I might not even be in France. Xana gave me something to link me to a connection here. I might have gone back to California, not knowing you existed." Xenon smiled and then kissed Odd deeply.
If I lighten up a little bit, then I will be over it.

I'm playin' the role of the happy girl, but no one knows inside I'm alone. But I would never let it show. I get everyday too much work and not enough play. Over and over, it's always the same.
(Flash Back)
A five year old Xenon, sat at a desk on the floor of the factory with the supercomputer. When her older self wasn't teaching her about Lyoko, nor sleeping or eating, she was studying. There was no time to make friends and just talk. Xenon wished she could talk to someone other than her younger sister who had lived in the world and Lyoko for fifteen years and her old self from the future who was twenty-one years old.
"Recite your Japanese numbers up to one hundred." Her older self said, looking up from the computer after having typed in long codes into the computer.
"Hai." The five year old Xenon said, being in a Japanese talking mode right now. "Ichi, ni, san, shi, go, roku, shichi, hachi, ku, ju, ju-ichi, ju-ni…"
(End Flash back)
Odd leaned against her on the school benches as Kiwi went to fetch a stick he had thrown. He had become attached to Xenon. Each other's presence had become an accepted fact. As Odd leaned against her it had woken her from the memory, the past.
Xenon had been staring blankly at her computer screen which had codes of the building and editing of sector seven. Xenon looked at it for a moment then shut the screen down and put the laptop on the side of her on the bench. Kiwi came back having successfully fetch the stick, but he didn't drop it at Odd's feet but at Xenon's feet. Xenon picked it up and threw it and Kiwi raced after it. Xenon smiled.
But you can make everything OK...

Take me away, we'll
jump in the car, drive til' the gas runs out and then walk so far
that we can't see this place anymore. Take a day off, give it a
rest. So I can forget about this mess. If I lighten up a little bit,
then I will be over it. Over it.
It was a Sunday. Odd had blindfolded Xenon and took her for a ride in a cab. Odd wouldn't tell her where they were going. Xenon leaned against Odd. She listened to his heart beat. When her head first fell onto his chest it beat quite rapidly but after a while Odd relaxed, and so did his heart. After a semi-long drive, they arrived at their destination. Odd paid the cab driver and took Xenon on a short walk from where they were dropped off. Xenon knew where they were by the sounds of waves crashing as they met the sand. Also, the damp sand brushed on top of her flip flops and tickled her toes.
Odd stopped her and untied her blindfold to reveal a beautiful beach that glittered with sea shells that tourists hadn't pick up yet. There wasn't any sign that the beach had been disturbed.
"Odd, where are we?" Xenon asked, awing at the sheer beauty of the beach. "And it's November, not exactly beach season."
"A private beach." Odd replied. Xenon knew it meant he or his family owned the small section of the beach. "Well, I suppose if you don't want to stay, we could go back to school--"
"I'm kidding. Odd…" Xenon whispered. Xenon leaned into kiss him. Odd quickly looked around to see if there was a body of water in pushing distance. Xenon giggled. "Are you going to do that every time, want to kiss you?" Xenon asked playfully.
"Maybe, if I know there's water near by." Odd replied before kissing her.

And when the world is closin' in,
A simple Xana attack that was Xana had possessed a semi-truck and tried to run over Xenon and Odd. They ran for their lives from it.
"Jeremie, use a return to the past. I'd rather Xana get stronger than dying." Xenon said into her purple cell phone It was a flip phone and, when closed, it was about a square two inches. On the back, near the camera was a small cursive, "X" in small crystals.
The white light of a return to the past was in the distance approaching fast. Xenon and Odd stop running as the white past them and returned them to early in the day.
I can leave it all and just walk away, I can always start all over again, I am closer to a better day…If I lighten up a little bit, then I will be over It…

Xenon and Odd were in Xenon's room watching a movie that Xenon's computer projected onto the blank wall opposite them. They laid down on her bed. Odd was behind her and held her around the waist. Both of them were at peace and fell asleep gradually with the warmth of the touch.

A/N This is the shortest chapter in the story. I'm writing this having just published chapter 9 earlier today, but I probably won't publish it for a couple days. I got major inspiration from just flipping through videos on youtube and I came across, "Over it" by Anneliess Van Der Pol. I was listening to it as I did my French homework and I listen to the lyrics and went oh my god that just describes Xenon. I looked up the lyrics and listened to it again and it helped me greatly for this chapter since I didn't have anything planned.
Yeah, so don't forget to review! Also, Frog Disease I've done much worse than threating to sue. I once threaten to kill somebody if they didn't update soon…Yeah…I told myself never to get that hooked on a story again. Um, REVIEW! Also, ask question if you have one. I'll be more than glad to answer unless it's something that I can't possibly tell you like what happened in December or how Odd had died in past time folds, etc etc. But if you have any question at all I will try to answer. If you ask, "What is the meaning of life?" I can't help you there…lol :) REVIEW!
NOTE: Chapters won't probably be this quick very often.
