I looked around we were in some place like a North or South Pole. Only it wasn't cold.

"Uh, guys where are we?" I asked looking at them.

"We're in Lyoko, in the ice sector." Ulrich told me. "Nice outfit." I frowned. "Follow us. Jeremie can we have our vehicles?"

"Sure, they'll be here in a minute." A couple of seconds later a one wheeled motorcycle came up in front of Ulrich, a wheel less scooter came up in front of Yumi and Aelita. And a surfboard came in front of Odd. They all jumped on them.

"Come on Midnight." Ulrich said patting the place behind him. I quickly jumped on. We took off down an ice path.

"So explain this to me, all I got is that we're in a virtual world called lyoko, and we have to do something." I held onto him tightly. "SO what do we have to do?"

"We have to deactivate a tower, but there should be monsters guarding the tower, you need to hit the thing on them that looks like an eye, what's your weapon?"

"Pttf, I don't know! I just got here." I said rolling my eyes.

"Uh, Midnight look in your sash." Jeremie said. I felt around under the sash and pulled out some mini crystal balls. "Monsters dead ahead. Midnight through the crystal balls." I shrugged and threw them at the monsters. The second they hit the monsters they exploded.

"Dat's tight." I said to myself. I jumped off the bike and ran towards the monsters. I threw more bombs at them. They shot lasers at me I quickly dodged them.

"Wow, Midnight, your pretty good for a rookie." Odd said, I smirked. Something caught my eye.

"Hey who's that?" I asked pointing to him.

"Oh no it's William. Midnight throw some bombs at him." Jeremie told me.

"Gladly." I said smirking, I ran off towards him and threw some bombs at him. He hit them with his sword but they still exploded. "Yes." I did a back flip away to assess the situation. Soon William emerged from the clouds of dust. "Impossible." I mumbled to no one in particular. I threw more at him. Suddenly a regular sized crystal ball fell out of my sash.

"Midnight, don't throw that, just hold it up." Jeremie said.

"Nokay." I said shrugging. I held the orb high above my head. I closed my eyes, the ball created force fields around me and my friends. "Oh yeah!" after five minutes the shields wore away. I saw Ulrich get devirtualize. I pulled out more mini bombs. I jumped up and twirled around releasing the bombs as I spun. I destroyed most of the monsters, I saw Aelita enter the tower. "What now?" I asked.

"Midnight, look out behind you!" Jeremie warned. I spun around to come face to face with William. He grabbed my throat and threw me. He swung his sword at me devirtualizing me. When the scanner opened I fell out just to be caught by Ulrich. I felt like I was going vomit.

"Can we do that again?" I asked weakly. The others laughed. Aelita emerged from her scanner smiling.

That night Odd, Ulrich and I were talking in 'our' room.

"I can't believe you took on William and barely got a scratch on you." Odd said. I smiled.

"Yeah well-" I was cut off by a knock on the door.

"Hide." Ulrich whispered to me. I ran to my usual hiding spot between the cabinet and the desk in the corner of room. I was hidden from view.

"Della Robbia, Stern, lights off!" a menacing voice said.

"Sorry Jim, we're going to bed now." Ulrich said. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I desperately tried to control my breathing. I hugged my knees closer together. I started sweating. About a minute later the door slammed shut. "Okay Midnight it's okay, you can come out now." I sighed in relief and they helped me out of the spot. I stumbled and fell on Ulrich pushing him down. Then the door swung open.

"Ah ha I knew there was another person in here." I looked up to see a mid aged overweight man dressed in a red zip up sweatshirt , and had a band aid on his cheek. "Now go to your room young lady!"

"Okay." I said shrugging and sat down leaning against the cabinet.

"I said go to your room!" I sighed deeply.

"I'm in my room! Ya idiot!"

"That's it you three follow me." Odd and Ulrich frowned at me as we exited the room. I guessed he was taking us to the principal's office. He knocked on the door.

"Come in." a voice said on the other side. Jim opened the door.

"Mr. Delmas we have a stowaway." He said, I groaned. I felt tears building up behind my eyes. I stared at the ground and clenched my fists. I let the tears fall freely down my face. I never cry much only when I have to. I felt a hand touch my back. Looking up Ulrich pulled me into a hug.

"I don't wanna go back to the streets." I whispered in his ear. He hugged me tighter. My eyes widened as I got an idea. I pulled away to look at him. "I got an idea."

"What?" both of them asked at the same time.

"What if I enroll at the school?" I looked at them as they thought it over. Odd shrugged.

"I think that a pretty good idea." He said making me smile.

"Mr. Stern, Mr. Della Robbia, and," Mr. Delmas started to say.

"Ms. Samuels." I told him.

"Ms. Samuels please come in." I sighed heavily and walked into the room. I felt crapped and kinda nervous. "Now tell me Ms. Samuels, why are you here."

"Okay well, it's kinda a long story." I said, he nodded telling to continue. "It all started a week ago, I heard my friends AC and Numb talking and AC said he wished he never met me. So I ran away. I was walking by this place and I thought it was a nice place to sleep. So I jumped the gate and picked a couple of locks and ended up in their dorm." I gestured to Odd and Ulrich. "I've been hiding in their room for about a week, I've been walking freely around campus a lot you just haven't noticed."

"Is this true Mr. Stern?" the principal asked Ulrich.

"Yes Mr. Delmas. We let her stay because we thought she'd be there for just a day." Ulrich was looking at the ground in shame. I started to nervously play with my necklace. "But we were wondering if she could enroll here at the school." Mr. Delmas looked me up and down.

"I don't see why not," my eyes and mouth widened in joy, "But I need you parents approval." The happy feeling went away. I shrink into the chair.

"I don't know where my parents are." I mumbled looking at my feet. "But what about a legal guardian?" my head shot up "But I'm going to be calling them." He nodded and handed me his phone. I quickly dialed the number and waited.

Cell: hello?

Me: Cell it's Midnight.

Cell: Midnight! I thought you never wanted to speak to us again.
Me: desperate times call for desperate measures. Put AC on.

AC: Midnight?

Me: yeah I hate to say it but I need your help.

AC: what?

Me: I need you to come to Kadic boarding academy and give me permission to go to the school. Hello?

AC: why should I?

Me: cause you said you wish you never met me and by me going to this you'll never see me again and I'll get an education.

AC: you heard that!?

Me: just get up here, I'll be waiting at the gate with my friends, you can bring the others if you want.

AC: bye

Me: bye. I hung up after that.

"They'll be here in about ten minutes." I told them. "I told them I'd wait at the gate and Odd and Ulrich would be there to back up my story. So we'll be right back." We walked out the door.

"Jim, go with them." Mr. Delmas said. I heard Jim close the door behind us.

"So how long is this going to take?" Jim asked. I stopped and slowly turned to him.

"As long as it takes." I said annoyed. "Trust me I'm going to be a handful." We soon got to the gate and I leaned against the pillar. The gate was wide open as we waited for the others.

"Midnight!" I looked up to see Pyro a second before he tackled me to the ground. "Midnight! We found you!" for a ten year old this kid had a lot of energy. I hugged him. I looked at AC and slowly got up. I glared at him.

"Midnight, I'm sorry I said that, it's just I worry about you, you're like my little sister, she always worried me and I don't want to lose someone else." AC said. My glare slowly turned into a smile.

"I forgive you, but I still want to go to this school. I like it here."

"Wait what?" Odd said.

"Oh yeah Odd Ulrich this is Flake, AC, Cell, Numb, and Pyro." I said pointing to each of them.

"Where I heard that name before? Odd? Odd?" AC mumbled to himself. "What's your last name?"

"Della Robbia." Odd said obviously confused. AC snapped his fingers.

"Odd Della Robbia, my cousin!"

"WHAT!?" we all said at the same time.

"Yeah I met you when I was five you were too young to remember anything." AC said happily and triumphantly.

"Wow." I said "Small world. Hmm." I quickly looked at AC. "So are you gonna sign it or not?"

"Well since you really want to go here and I am your legal guardian."

"Well," Cell started.

"Shut it, Smith." I said calling him by his last name. He took a step back. Odd and Ulrich snickered behind me. "So?"

"Let's go." He said with a smile. I jumped up and hugged.

"Thank you, thank you." He hugged me back. Me and Pyro raced through the gate; laughing.
