Disclaimer: I do not own the songs "Anything but Ordinary" and "Misty's Song." I did reword the songs slightly but not much.

Dedication: To my imagination! No, I'm joking. Um…to notcreativeenoughtomakeone. His review from the last chapter made me laugh. If you're too lazy to click on the reviews to check here's what it was: "Aelita and Jeremie sitting in a tree- F-U-C...I'll stop there."

Anywayz…Chapter 14!

-()-

Xenon and Aelita were quiet. They finally decided to get up. One because Aelita had a class that she'd already missed half of because she came to the hermitage to see if her instincts were right that Xenon had came there. They walked down the stairs and about midway Xenon's watch beeped.

"Xana. Something on Earth." Xenon said and Aelita nodded. They headed for the front door and as Xenon gripped the handle a mixture of things came at her. Knives of all sizes and a pair of scissors. Xenon heard them cut through the air towards them. She pushed Aelita to the floor, her mind set on protecting Aelita that she didn't cover herself. She dodged everything with a few millimeters to spare. The last knife, a butcher knife, was flying towards where her head rested against the door. She ducked to avoid getting hit.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Xenon crouched down for a minute to make sure no more sharp, pointy objects were flying through the air. She looked for Aelita to see if see was okay. But as she opened her eyes she didn't see Aelita instead see saw deep into someone's blue eyes. It wasn't Aelita, she had green eyes; it was Odd.

"Are you alright?" Odd asked. He didn't touch her at all because that's what Xenon wanted him to do. Xenon stared at Odd dumbfounded by what she saw.

It's not his fault. Xenon thought. He's doing everything just to make me happy and safe. I should be grateful.

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody ripped my heart out
And left me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?

Xenon extended her arm for Odd to help her up. Odd stared at her hand surprised. "Help me up." Xenon said. She didn't say it with a smile like she used to though she wanted to. She was still slightly drawn back from what had happened. Odd took her hand and Xenon didn't flinch as Odd grabbed her hand. When he pulled her up, she gave him a slightly smile. Odd pushed her to the ground landing on top of her. "What are you doing?" Xenon asked. I gave him a small smile and this is how he reacts? Odd's hands and knees were on the sides of her waist and chest.

Xenon looked at the wall they had been standing by. Three knives were in the wall. Xenon looked at Odd. Odd blushed and got up and helped her up.

That somebody saved my life

"Guess we should get to the factory and save our lives and the world's." Odd said.

"Jeremie's laptop will have gone off by now." Aelita said standing by the bookcase the hallway. The three walked out of the house.

I'd rather be anything but extraordinary please

Xenon, Odd, and Aelita ran to the manhole. When they reached there, they realized they had forgotten that cement still covered it.

"We really need to take care of that." Odd said as they ran through the city instead.

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme

They ran into the factory, slid down the ropes, and went into the elevator. Aelita pressed the up button to go down. Xenon glanced at Odd and saw that he was looking at her. She jumped a little and looked away. I want to be with him, yet I don't in a way. Xenon thought.

The elevator opened and they saw Jeremie, Ulrich, and Yumi were already there. The five took the elevator down while Jeremie started up the virtualization process.

"Transfer Aelita, transfer Ulrich, transfer Yumi, scanner Aelita, scanner Ulrich, scanner Yumi. Virtualization." Xenon looked at Odd and Odd looked at Xenon. Xenon felt the urge to kiss him. She leaned her head in a few inches.

So knock me off my feet
Come on now, kiss me
Anything to make me feel alive

So did Odd. An inch apart, Xenon moved her head away.

"I'm sorry." Xenon said looking down.

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody ripped my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?

Xenon and Odd step into a scanner looking at each other. Odd felt sad because he had only been an inch from kissing her. Xenon felt disappointed in herself. I should have kissed him. Xenon thought angrily as the bright light surrounded her with the transfer. But maybe not…

"Virtualization."

-()-

Xenon and Odd landed in the desert sector near Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita who were on their vehicles. Jeremie virtualized another overboard for Odd while Xenon snapped for her white disc. Xenon jumped on it.

"The tower is south from where you are." Jeremie's voice said from somewhere above. Xenon flew in between Aelita and Odd. She smiled slightly. She bumped into both of them, almost knocking them off their overboards, and sped up in the direction of the tower. Aelita and Odd chased after her. Odd gained on her, leaving Aelita behind, and pushed her playfully.

Let down your defenses
Use no common sense

Xenon laughed and smiled, not even noticing Odd had pushed her. She smiled at him. She seemed to be bored and leaned to the right and then jerked to the left. Her disc went upside down and Odd got below her to catch her, but unlike the other vehicles Xenon's feet seemed to be glued to the bottom. Xenon laughed and then righted herself as they crossed the desert.

If you look you will see
That this world is
A beautiful, accident, turbulent,
Succulent, opulent, permanent

The tower came into view and Xenon's laughter disappeared. There were twenty crabs and thirty hornets which swarmed around the tower. Xenon got close to Odd.

"Ok. Let's make this a contest to see who can kill more monsters." Xenon said as if winter vacation never happened. "Whoever wins gets one wish that the other has to do. Alright?" She had a smile on her face, an evil looking smile. Odd looked scared as she said this wondering what she had in store for him if she won. Odd then thought about a wish he could make if he won.

"You're on." Odd said. Xenon took off and went full speed into the swarm of hornets with fire and ice coming out of the palms of her hands.

"FIVE!" Xenon shouted somewhere in the hornets.

Oh shit. Odd thought. She really must have something in mind. Odd went out shooting laser arrows at hornets and crabs. By the time Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita caught up with them, only one fifth remained.

"Twenty!!" Xenon and Odd shouted at the same time. Ulrich and Yumi advanced upon a group of three crabs.

"Don't!" Odd yelled shooting ten laser arrows from each arm at the crabs. The laser arrows met their targets. "Twenty three!"

"Twenty four!" Xenon replied back as she shot a crab.

"What's up with them?" Ulrich asked to no one in particular.

"Who knows..." Aelita said sighed as Odd shot at two hornets, which exploded, to make twenty five.

"What happened between you and Jeremie?" Yumi asked.

"Um…." Aelita said watching Xenon kill the last monster, a crab. Aelita ran for the tower. "I—uh--- have a tower to deactivate." Aelita yelled back at them. She entered the tower. Yumi and Ulrich looked at each other and shrugged. Xenon and Odd landed on the ground.

"Well, no one wins. We both killed twenty five." Xenon said.

"That's not fair." Odd complained.

"Hey, you don't think I had something in mind?" Xenon asked.

Code: Lyoko

Jeremie materialized them back to Earth. Xenon and Odd walked back to Kadic alone which surprised everyone else.

"So, what would have been your wish?" Odd asked as they walked through town. It was getting dark. Around them, couples were out and about getting dinner in town.

"Oh it was nothing." Xenon said slightly blushing. "Yours?"

"Why don't we say it at the same time?" Odd suggested.

"Alright on three. One…two….three--"

"A kiss." They both said. They stopped. Xenon stood in front of Odd. She took his hands in hers and kissed him. It was full of passion. Xenon's hands left Odd's and put themselves behind Odd head to deepen the kiss. Xenon pulled away with a smile. Odd seemed confused slightly by the kiss.

"Want to get dinner?" Odd asked.

"Nah." Xenon said. "Only one wish, Odd." She gave him an evil smile and ran down the street. Odd was dumbfounded that the kiss which had only been done because he wanted it, but it had also been her wish. Odd thought about it for second and realized Xenon was fifty yards a head of him and ran after her.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
Its my lullaby

"Karaoke?" Aelita repeated after reading a sign outside of the cafeteria. "January twelfth in the gym. Sign ups in the office." Xenon stared at the sign. "I wonder why there doing this."

"Probably Sissi convinced her father to." Odd said. Odd looked away for a second at the mention of Sissi and what had happened over winter break. "What do you think of this Xenon? Xenon?" Xenon wasn't there. "Did I say something?" Odd asked Aelita. Odd and Xenon were rocky. They got along like they would with Yumi or Jeremie and they hadn't mentioned anything about the kiss. Aelita shrugged. Odd walked in the direction of the dorms.

Xenon walked across campus. She was in front of the office. Do I really want to do this? Xenon thought. She nodded and then walked in. Xenon stayed as quiet as she could. She didn't want to talk to Mr. Delmas on why she wanted to be Kadic with her perfect test scores. Xenon walked up to the desk that the sectary wasn't at. She saw a clipboard with a small list of names which people signed up of karaoke and the song they wanted to sing. Xenon signed it herself and put a song.

-()-

Xenon didn't mention that she signed up for the karaoke. On karaoke night, Xenon convinced Odd to go just so they could laugh at everyone else. Odd agreed. As it got closer to when it was going to start, Xenon disappeared. Odd gave up on looking up for her and figured that he'd meet her there. She wasn't. Odd listened to Pierre Francois sing a song by the Subsonics.

"Next singer is Xenon Smith." Announced William, who was the host. Odd looked up. Sure enough, Xenon was standing in front of the microphone. The song started with a harp playing. Xenon looked at the back wall of the gym that was opposite of her. She avoided eye contact with anyone.

"Out here in the quiet of the night beneath the stars, and moon. We both know we've got somethin' on our minds, we won't admit, but it's true." Xenon looked at Odd he was standing with the rest of the gang. Xenon's voice was perfect. It sounded that Xenon had been singing for years; her voice matched the song perfectly. "You look at me, I look away." Xenon turned her head with a smile. "I wanna tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know how to start. I wanna tell you, but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart."

Odd looked down for a moment. I've never heard this song before, but listening to it I know why Xenon picked it. Odd thought.

"Oh why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do? I wanna tell you what I'm feeling and to say that: I love you." Odd looked up. "I practice all the things that I would say line by line, every word. I tell myself today would be the day but every time, I lose my nerve. I look at you. You look away." Odd did look away. He looked around to see if anyone noticed that the song was directed to him. Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi did, but no once else.

Xenon sang the chorus again. "I wanna tell you what I'm feeling and to say that: I love you. Why? Why do you turn away? It must be, you're afraid like me. I try, but I can't pretend that I don't feel for you, the way I do. Can't you see?" Xenon went through the chorus two more times. "I just wanna say: I love you." Xenon whispered into the microphone.

Applause erupted from the audience and a few whistles from guys. Xenon blushed in embarrassment. She waved at the crowd and then walked away. She pushed herself through the tide to get to Odd. A lot of people said things as she went past them such as 'I never knew you could sing so good.' or 'you were great!' Xenon smiled.

I've finally forgiven him. Well, in a way. I want to find him. Xenon thought. He's all the way in the back because he was probably looking for me. I really hope Mr. Delmas isn't here and stops me. As soon as she thought that, a hand gripped her shoulder so that she'd stop walking.

"I want to talk to you." A man's voice said. Xenon's heart sank.

A/N Originally, the song Xenon was going to sing was Misty's song(I planned this chapter out like in July) but then I forgot about it(I write nothing down. Everything is up in my head.) Then for the last week or so I was planning on her to "Once Upon a Dream" (from a Jerkll and Hyde play or something) but then today I remembered some of the lyrics to Misty's Song and I spent time trying to remember what the song was called and then I remembered. Anywayz…

REIVEW!
