I have just a few quick words before we start on this very special chapter! Thanks to the insight of my reviewers, I realized that some crucial information was left out. So now, straight from the cutting room floor & reworked, comes a very special extended ending! Your questions will still be answered after the extra scene, but I highly recommend you take a look at this!!!


Gary's POV:

"Dad?" I called. It freaked me out that I had to still interact with him, especially since it seemed like XANA had taken him over again, but permanently.

I took a few steps into his study, which was where he would most likely be right now. "Dad?" I called again. "Are you in here?" There was still no response.

That was when I noticed the computer was on. While I wasn't quite sure what would happen to me if I got caught, I knew this might be a rare opportunity to see what my dad was up to…

I quickly ran to the computer & sat down. After I hit a key to get rid of the screensaver, I noticed that the files open all had to do with a place called Dunbar Labs. But why would my dad want to build & open a lab?

I opened a file that was labeled as a time line. After yesterday's date were the words "Energy Collection." I thought about what Alita had told us after the attack yesterday, how she thought that the power to the factory was being sent somewhere else during the attack. Even though we stopped XANA, did he still get what he wanted? I looked at what was next on the time line.

"Can I help you, son?" I jumped. I hadn't realized that my father had entered.

"Um, yeh. I need you to sign this test." I said, handing it to him. I don't think I've ever been so happy to have a failing test grade, since it proved I wasn't spying…

"How many times have I told you not to play on my computer?" he asked after he finished signing.

"I was just…curios about what you were working on." I said. "You've never really talked about your work with me…"

"It's classified."

"Oh." I said. "Ok." There was an awkward silence. "Well, I guess I should head back to school. Don't want to be late for dinner…"

I left as fast as possible, but I couldn't help wondering if my dad was just XANA's puppet, or…if he was some thing more…


Favorite TV shows besides Code Lyoko?

Well, that's a really long list…if I listed them all, you would probably skip right over it. Right now I'm really into Charmed, Buffy, Psych, Big Bang Theory, Stoked, 6teen, & just about anything that Disney makes.

Books you like?

I'll try just about anything. Right now, I'm reading the Pendrgen books. If you haven't tried them, you should!!! I also peeked at the first few pages of Wings last time I went shopping, so that will probably be next on my to-get list…

Any place you'd really want to visit?

I'd love to go to Europe. I'm not really sure why, but it just seems so cool to be able to say that you've been to Europe! It's like you're more mature or some thing. I'd also love to see China & Japan…but until I have the money for these really expensive trips, I'll just wish for a trip to Epcot…

Where do you get your inspiration?

Just about everywhere. The idea for this series came mostly from a show called Strange Days at Blake Holsy High, which is on Discovery Kids. If you like this series, you should watch it. It's different than my writing, but there are some parallels. I also try to watch episodes of Code Lyoko when I can, so I can remember all the details…

(Talking about Jim's comments about Alita's father) How cold he possibly have gotten his hands on that information? Or WHO gave it to him?

Well, I can't speak for Jim, but I have a feeling he'd rather not talk about it…


I guess that's all for right now. I can't thank you enough for sticking with me up to this point, & I hope you'll stick around for the next story! I also want to apologize to some of you guys. If I made a promise to you that I'd do something, I'm sorry for not getting to it. There has been some crazy stuff happening, & I haven't had a lot of free time. I'll try to get to it soon!

Please review!!!
