Hi everybody! I'm back! I was really happy with my reviews, extremely happy, if you want me to be completely accurate. Before you read this chapter I have to warn you, IT'S NOT A FILLER CHAPTER. I have nothing against filler chapters, I'm just saying. I would like to call it a bridge. This chapter is going to connect to chapter seven, because chapter seven would be too long to write if it was part of chapter six. Also, I and mageintheshadows are planning to write something about multiple OC's meeting each other, and if you don't mind, and if you have a great CL OC, can we borrow him/her? We'll give you credit:-)

Disclaimer: If I owned Code Lyoko, I wouldn't be writing this right now.

Claimer: I do own Olivia Allen, and everything related to her in general.

Math Class

Olivia decided that it wasn't the right time to tell everyone about her secret. Odd agreed just as much, realizing that Olivia had gone through enough. He volunteered to make up a fake story about Olivia having almost a phobia (a really bad phobia), but what he didn't leave out, was Brian. Brian was a good lie to make up. Odd easily said that Brian had intentionally beaten her up, putting Olivia in cataclysmic shock. He also explained that Olivia's outburst was far from deliberate. They all bought it.

But that was hours ago. Now everyone, except Yumi, was in math class, and, with Olivia's permission, Odd promised to stay close to her in any class that they had together. She was still a fragile from that little moment in the track field (the secret telling, not the kiss).

Odd hadn't talked about the kiss, but Olivia knew just as well as he did, that it was real. It wasn't one of those comfort kisses that you gave someone when they were feeling blue. It was a real kiss.

Since then, Odd didn't know what was "safe" to call their relationship. He was scared to call it a boyfriend/girlfriend thing, incase Olivia got upset. Since the fight, no, the abuse, between Brian and her, she didn't think she was ready for something like that. But not Odd, he was ready. Olivia was too great of a girl for Odd to think about and consider. He knew she was the perfect one for him. Even if Olivia was still thinking about it, he knew how to give her a little push when he saw the principal walk in during Mrs. Meyer's lesson.

Mr. Delmas stood straight in the front of the class, with almost a satisfied grin patched over his middle-aged face. He cleared his throat and began. "Good morning, students," he started, "I'm glad to announce that the End of the Year Dance is still on!"

Everyone in class cheered. The End of the Year dance was what everyone looked forward to. It was always so full of surprises, but every year they had the same contest at the end of the dance: The beauty pageant. But next to that, the school always announced a brand new contest next to the pageant. Like last year, they had the comedian contest. Odd won that easily. What new contest they would do this year, no one knew. Odd looked over at Olivia to see if she was just as happy as everyone else. Surprisingly, she looked confused and stared at Mr. Delmas. She was more intent on playing with her pencil. Odd touched her shoulder with his elbow gently. "Hey, haven't you been to a dance before?" Odd asked. She looked like she didn't even know why Mr. Delmas was in the room.

She turned her head and looked at him as if he had asked her to go to the moon. She stifled a laugh. "Of course I've been to a dance! Many, actually, why?"

Odd laughed. "You look like you were in another world!" Olivia blushed.

"All right, all right, enough commotion. I understand we have a new student from America, isn't that right?" Mr. Delmas informed in a question. Everyone nodded and pointed towards Olivia.

"Nice to meet you, Olivia. Now, I'm sure you have many questions about the dance." Olivia nodded. "Well, the End of the Year Dance, from rumors that I have heard, is the biggest event among the students. We have great music, great food, and a great DJ, Aelita Stones. We also have an annual beauty pageant, where students may vote for three girls to enter during these first few weeks before the dance. Then, the students at the dance will vote for one of the three girls. The winner gets a prize," he finished. Olivia smiled and nodded understandingly. Mr. Delmas clapped his hands.

"All right then. I apologize for interrupting your class. Carry on!" Mr. Delmas began to stride out of the room, until he turned his attention back to the class. "Oh yes, I forgot something!" Mr. Delmas scratched his head thoughtfully. The students turned they're attention back to the headmaster.

"What is it, Daddy?" Sissi squeaked annoyingly.

"It's strange, we seem to have another transfer student coming in from America in a week, but a boy this time." The class wasn't too surprised. They had gotten transfers from places as far as Japan to America. Yumi and Olivia were good examples. Mr. Delmas kept staring into space, but quickly returned and walked out of the room. Odd grinned gleefully. 'This'll be great! Just ask Olivia, and she's safe from any problems, including she'll get to trust having a cool boyfriend in her life again. Perfecto!' Odd took a quick glance at Olivia to see her face. She turned her head and smiled back at him. Odd thought it might be a good idea to ask her after class, but seeing some of the boys giving Olivia a look, Odd had a different plan. He turned around and flashed the boys a threatening glare. They ignored him. Odd was getting frustrated. Olivia was his girl, but none of those boys were going to back down without a fight.

Odd looked at Olivia, who had began focusing on her math worksheet. He nudged her arm and she looked up. "Hey Liv, do you wanna go to the dance…with me?" Odd admit, he had blushed, but not enough for Mrs. Meyer to notice. Olivia's cerulean eyes sparkled. Odd loved it when that happened. It made her look prettier than she already was. Some of the boys had groaned and some mouths hung from the boys' heads. Olivia smiled, more than she ever had before.

She answered in one word, "Yes!" Three boys completely forgot to breathe, and most of the girls looked at her as if to say, "Are you crazy?"

They weren't, obviously. Behind the pair, Ulrich and Jeremie were giving Odd a good job gesture. Aelita was smiling merrily.

After Class

Olivia squeezed herself through the swarm of kids trying to free themselves from the dreaded aroma of math class. She grunted as soon as she got out and was safe in the hallway. She waited by the door for Odd, Aelita, Jeremie, and Ulrich, who were still trying to pry themselves through the maze of students. When they had finally gotten through, Odd walked up to her and smiled. "So…we're still on for…when is the dance?" he asked out loud.

Jeremie checked his agenda. "June…23 I believe." Odd huffed.

"Why, oh, why must they end the school year so late!" Odd acted like he was playing a part in a tragedy, he even fell on his knees and punched at the air. Olivia and Aelita burst into fits of laughter that they had to lean on each other to keep from falling. Jeremie and Ulrich had laughed along. Odd couldn't help but laugh at his own raw sense of humor.

He staggered to his feet and put his arm out for Olivia to lead her to her next class. She responded by taking his hand temporarily and kissing him gently on the cheek. Odd blushed a light shade of pink. He knew Olivia and him were now a permanent relationship. She let go of his hand. "It's OK now, besides, I have to talk to Aelita and Yumi. You know…girl to girl?"

Odd shook his head comically. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But, sadly, I have no choice but to trust my girlfriend. Go on without me!" Odd put his hand over his eyes and sunk to the floor. Olivia laughed. Odd quickly got up and shrugged with a grin on his face. "What can I say? I'm a guy, so knowing what you chicks talk about is beyond me! Oh well, go ahead, you don't have to listen to me babble," Odd smiled. Olivia giggled and hugged him gently.

"See ya'll later!" she waved to the boys and dragged Aelita along to find Yumi.

Outside

Olivia had been sprawled out on the bench, staring starry-eyed at the clouds. Aelita couldn't help but chuckle, and Yumi just stared. Olivia sighed. Yumi finally couldn't stand the awkward silence anymore and poked Olivia on the shoulder. "Um, would you mind telling us…exactly what you're doing?" Yumi couldn't help but laugh at how her words came out. Olivia sat up and looked at Yumi. She was blushing. Yumi raised her eyebrow and gestured toward Aelita to answer the question for her.

Aelita said, "Odd asked her to the End of the Year Dance during class!" Yumi gaped, and then smiled at Olivia mischievously.

"Well what do you know? Aw man, now I feel jealous!"

Olivia and Aelita looked at her quizzically. "What do you mean?" Yumi had her arms crossed.

"Normally, I could care less for that dance, but just knowing that Odd finally had the guts to ask someone on the first day, makes me think that I should ask someone!"

Aelita grinned. "Thinking of Ulrich?" Yumi blushed. Olivia laughed.

"Back at my town, it's usually the guys who have to ask the girls, not the other way around," Olivia informed. Yumi nodded. "Same here."

Olivia snapped her fingers. "I've got it! It won't be that hard to coax Ulrich into asking you, me and Aelita just have to be sneaky! I was thinking…" In the midst of Olivia's plan (who Yumi and Aelita were paying close attention to), Jeremie, Ulrich, and Odd came bursting through the back doors of the school.

"Sorry to break up this little conversation, but we have to go to the factory!" Jeremie panted. Olivia looked shocked.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that X.A.N.A is attacking! I haven't seen an attack this powerful for a while!" Jeremie answered, still panting. Aelita looked terror stricken.

"H-how bad?" Aelita stuttered. Ulrich answered this time.

"Real bad, there's only one tower, but X.A.N.A sent us a message while we were scanning. It said "My dear Scyphozoa shall be waiting for a deactivator", or whatever that means." Odd just shrugged.

"It was probably talking about Aelita, plain and simple," Odd said. Olivia looked confused.

"What's the Scyphozoa?" she asked.

"Too complicated, we'll tell you when we get to the factory!" They took off running, but had to stop every now and then for Olivia. They got there in less then three minutes. Jeremie went with them to the scanner room to discuss the plan.

"X.A.N.A will probably have dozens of monsters waiting for us. We need our three quickest thinkers to go first, and a strong fighter to go with Aelita," Jeremie explained. Everyone pointed to Olivia.

"Olivia is the strongest fighter out of all of us, let her go with Aelita," Yumi suggested. Jeremie had his hand on his chin, deep in thought. He shook his head.

"No, the best way to keep Aelita safe is if our quickest thinkers go first, and seeing Olivia's performance with those Blocks, she better go with you guys first," Jeremie concluded.

"Who will go with me?" Aelita asked.

"Ulrich will," Jeremie said. Ulrich looked confused.

"Shouldn't Odd go with her? You said we needed the quickest thinkers to go first!" Ulrich joked.

"Yeah I don't see why I couldn't-wait, hey!" Odd snapped. Jeremie smiled amusingly.

"I agree, Odd isn't the smartest thinker, but he has cat-like reflexes, which will help us a lot. The plan settles there, get in the scanners you three!" Jeremie commanded to Yumi, Odd, and Olivia. Olivia looked jittery and excited.

Yumi, Odd, and Olivia stepped in the scanners, waiting for Jeremie to get to the computer. Odd smiled over at Olivia. "Ready to go back to Lyoko?" Odd asked Olivia from across the room. She smiled.

"Always will be!" she answered. The scanners closed.

"Transfer Yumi, transfer Odd, transfer Olivia…" Everyone braced themselves. "Scanner Yumi, scanner Odd, scanner Olivia…"The threefelt a huge gust of wind. "Virtualization."

The three teenagers dropped back into The Desert Sector, where Olivia had first entered. Ulrich and Aelita followed close behind. As soon as everyone was together, Odd aimed his Laser Arrows, prepared for anything, Yumi opened her fans, Ulrich pulled out his sword, and Olivia took one of her Silver Shooters from her belt, opened it, and stood in a stance. Aelita stayed behind them. But nothing happened. Everything was still and quite. Nobody moved. They had always been prepared for the unexpected. But, for the first time, everyone lowered their weapons, and Aelita took a step towards them.

Odd moved his head around slowly. "Um, Jer, is something supposed to happen?" They heard some vigorous typing from Jeremie, but nothing else.

"To be perfectly honest, I 'm not sure what's going on. The scan picked up some sort of high power source, but I don't see why…" Jeremie said.

"Should we go find the tower anyway?" Yumi asked. Jeremie scratched his head.

"I'm still contemplating that," he answered. Aelita pointed over Ulrich's shoulder to the north horizon.

"I see the tower!" she cried out loud. Everyone looked in the same direction.

"Seems a little far…" Ulrich said in a mumble of disgust.

"No problem Ulrich, I'll have the vehicles virtualized in a matter of seconds," Jeremie replied happily, and set up the program. Everyone's vehicles appeared in front of them to their rightful owners. Olivia beamed when she saw her Over-Surfer again. Odd did a back flip on the Over-Board, Yumi hopped onto her Over-Wing, and Ulrich casually sat on the Over-Bike. Olivia got onto hers easily. Aelita walked up to Olivia.

"Is it okay if I ride with you?" she asked. Olivia smiled and extended her arm to lift her up. Everyone took off towards the tower.

"Like I said, don't hold you're breath. I can see two Crabs up ahead," Odd informed.

Olivia flew herself up next to Odd. "You know that message that you got from X.A.N.A, well, what did it mean, and, what's a Scyphozoa?" Olivia asked. Odd sighed.

"The Scyphozoa is X.A.N.A's newest and weirdest monster. You see, Aelita was put here in Lyoko for many reasons, but she has more of a purpose here than deactivating towers. She has something called memory lodged in her brain, we don't know what it is, but X.A.N.A wants it. X.A.N.A sends the Scyphozoa, which looks like a giant jellyfish thing, to steal Aelita's memory and get out of Lyoko. We can't let that happen, so if you see the Scyphozoa stealing memory, cut off the tentacles before the meter runs to zero!" Odd explained. Olivia nodded.

"So that's what the message meant!" Olivia exclaimed. Odd smiled and nodded. Then Jeremie screamed out, "The Scyphozoa is right in front of you guys!" Everyone halted to a stop. X.A.N.A was sneaky enough to materialize that memory-stealing jellyfish right in the way of the gang's flight pattern.

"Aelita, stay behind me!" Olivia demanded protectively. The four created a wall, with Aelita behind them. But it-the Scyphozoa-didn't do anything. In fact, it wasn't even acknowledging Aelita's existence. All it did was stare at the wall of warriors.Olivia just stood there, a little annoyed.

"What do we do know?" she asked. Everybody just shrugged.

"What do you suggest Jeremie?" Ulrich asked. Jeremie seemed troubled.

"This isn't right, this isn't right…" he said over and over again, typing like a mad man. Olivia looked scared.

"W-what's going on?" she stuttered.

"I would like to know just as well!" Odd exclaimed. Jeremie was quiet.

"Jeremie!" they all said in unison. Jeremie broke out of his daydream.

"I don't think it's after Aelita…" Jeremie said somewhat solemnly. Everyone was confused.

"But, the message said it was after the deactivator!" Ulrich contradicted. Jeremie shook his head.

"No Ulrich, it said it was after a deactivator, not necessarily Aelita. But even if X.A.N.A hadn't sent us that message, the Scyphozoa wouldn't be after Aelita either way," Jeremie explained.

"Then…then what is it after?" Yumi asked wearily.

"Not something…someone…" Jeremie said. They were all scared. "The Scyphozoa is after something much bigger, with more memory and information than Aelita…"

"Who is it after?" Everyone blurted out.

Jeremie sighed. "I…I think it might be after…Olivia…"

Whew! I'm finished! No, I'm just kidding, it took me 2 days, but it was fun! Oh yeah, oops, I forgot, CLIFFIE! Haha! Evil cliffy! Evil, evil, evil! Ahem, have a nice day! Remember all those people I mentioned in the fifth chapter? Well, since I'm too lazy to write them again, look there for shout outs. The End of the Year Dance was something I made up, and I really don't know when their school gets out, so I made it up.

QOTD: Who here likes the Odd and Sissi pairing? I think it's horrible, and if you like it, well, let's hope we won't come to that.
