I do not own Code: Lyoko, but I do own Moon and her sisters.
"What are you doing here?" Moon asked her father angrily.
"I came to bring you back home," He said.
"That's impossible," Moon replied. "I'm supposed to stay here until I finish my mission. Just because you're on the High Council doesn't mean you're allowed to disobey the Almighty One's orders."
"I will be staying here in your place, Lunaria." Her father took off his glasses and stated rubbing them with his tie. "I saw in Sara's files that you called requesting for someone else to take your place."
"Someone was interfering and I thought I wouldn't be able to work with the distractions."
"I always knew that Millicent would get in the way eventually."
"Milly is not the problem, you are," Moon said angrily.
Her father sighed. "You are going to be a difficult bride."
"What?"
"You are to be married soon. That was part of my deal with the Almighty One."
Moon gaped. "There is no way I'm going along with this crap!"
"If you want to go home, you will."
"I'm not going home until I finish my assignment."
"You may change your mind. He's actually already met you."
"I haven't been up in heaven for years. How could he have met me?"
"He's a student here as well. A young man named William."
"No! Absolutely not! No f------ way in heaven, Earth, or hell!"
Her father shrugged. "It's out of my hands now. I need to get back home now. Goodbye, Lunaria. Tell your sisters I said hello." And he dissolved into the light. Moon stormed back to her room.
Knock, knock, knock. "Moon? Can I come in? It's Milly." Moon limped to the door and opened it for her sister. "Dad called me. He said you jumped out of the hospital window!"
"Well, Lucifer blew up my computer--which is why I'm in this damn cast--and when I woke up I was in the hospital. All I was thinking about was you being safe, so I jumped out the window and came back here."
"Moon! You're on every news station in New York! You can't just think that a girl falling out of the twentieth floor and dissapearing in a flash of light isn't going to attract attention!"
"I'm sorry, okay? But I was worried about you! I wasn't thinking!"
"That's pretty obvious!"
Moon sighed angrily. "Look, I'm sorry. But it's not like news from New York is going to reach France. And I have bigger stuff to worry about right now."
"Like what?"
"My dad's here. He wants to take me back to Heaven to marry William." Moon shuddered. "He'll stay in my place to finish the mission."
Milly inhaled. "You're not going back, are you?"
"Of course not, Milly." Moon grabbed her bag. "Want to get some lunch? I'm starved."
"Sure."

Astria was ferociously typing on her laptop. Even though she and her sisters hadn't gotten very far in Sector Five, they had aquired some useful information.
Lucifer, aka Xana, has a connection to the Internet and the electrical plants from inside the Supercomputer. He's been responsible for several blackouts all over the continent and has come up with a way to brainwash people and to bring his monsters to life. If he manages to get to a politcal leader, then he would most likely wage war on other countries for no reason from inside that person. With the connections through the Internet, he could pull the plug on the power of the other countries and make it impossible for them to defend. Astria was working on gates and blocks to stop this from happening.
Starlette burst into her room. "Astria!!"
"What?" Astria asked.
"I need your help! Nova wants some special effects for the talent show, and I have no clue how to work the equipment. Can you help me?"
"I'm busy right now, Starlette."
"But--"
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
Starlette pouted but left. Then an idea came to her. Maybe Jeremy can help me! He's smart. She raced to the cafeteria.
"Jeremy!" She yelled across the cafeteria.
He looked up from his lunch. "What?"
"Can you come with me? I need your help with special effects for the talent show," She started pulling his arm, trying to get him out of his seat.
"Sorry, Starlette. I'm, uh, helping Aelita with math homework." They were really talking about different equations that would result into temporarily stopping Xana.
"You can help her later. Come on!"
"Starlette, I really do need Jeremy's help right now. When we're done, we can both help you if you want." Aelita offered.
"Shut up, Aelita," Starlette snapped. Aelita involuntarily recoiled.
"Have you guys seen Moon?" William asked. The others shrugged. He jogged over to the front lawn where he saw Moon was sitting on the bench.
William wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Hey, beautiful."
Moon punched him in the jaw again. "Stay the hell away from me, psycho."
William rubbed his jaw, took a seat beside her, and put his arm around her. "That's no way to treat your fiancee." Moon dug her fingernails into his arm. William winced and pulled back his arm. "Guess you're not used to the idea of being married."
"I'm not marrying you or anyone else as long as I breathe."
"If I was Odd, you'd be excited and happy."
Moon blushed but quickly recovered. "The contract that I have with the Almighty One is still in effect. Milly will still forget about me."
"You see, that's an interesting fact. Your father explained the contract he has with the Almighty One, and it says if you marry me, Milly will remember her for the rest of her life. You need to fall in love for Milly to forget you in your contract. Since you aren't in love with me--though that would be nice--your contract would still be in effect. Milly would keep her memory. But since we're not allowed on earth unless it's business, you'll never see Milly again, and she'll get depressed that she'll never see you again, so just admit that you like me and let Milly live a normal life."
"First of all, I have never, don't, and will never like you." Moon got up. "And I'm not leaving until I finish my assignment. Actually, I will most likely stay here. It's better than up there." Moon started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" William asked. He started to follow her.
"Away from you," And even though she was in a cast, Moon ran rather quickly back to her dorm.
