I own Moon and her sisters. I do not own any of the original characters of Code: Lyoko.

Odd and Moon were sitting under one of the bigger trees in the middle of the forest by Kadic. It had only been several minutes since she had saved Odd's life by catching him after he fell off the roof.

"So, why are you here?" Odd asked. "I mean, isn't heaven supposed to be perfect?" Moon nodded. "Then why are you here on earth?"

"I have an assignment here." Odd looked puzzled. "Sometimes, angels come down to earth to stop the demons from the underworld from causing destruction or, if your a guardian angel, to protect the human you were assigned to. I'm here to stop Xana."

"Xana's a demon?!"

"Xana is the devil. Somehow, without anyone in heaven knowing, he stuck up here and planted himself in the Supercomputer. Now he's found ways to make his pets multiply and come to life on Lyoko and up here, and he can brainwash people. If I can destroy him, then I can go back up to heaven."

"Why can't you go back up there now?"

"I screwed up on a different assignment, so I'm not allowed back up there until I finish Lucifer off. I can anywhere in the universe--I could even go tho Neptune if I wanted to-- but I can't go back to heaven."

"So that's what you meant by Xana's worse than a computer virus." Odd remembered.

Moon nodded. "But even if I destroy Lucifer, I'll probably stay here."

"Why? You just said that heaven is perfect."

Moon stared up into the sky. "Heaven is perfect, but some of the other angels aren't. Just look at Nova and Starlette."

Odd's eyes widened. "They're angels?!"

"Astria, too. But she's not as bad. Just kinda smug about how smart she is."

"What about Milly?"

"Milly's human. I used to be her guardian angel, and when I was forced to stay here, I posed as her sister. Her mom is too drunk to know that I'm not her kid, and I hypnotized her dad to believe he adopted me."

Odd was silent for a minute. "What about that promise that involves Milly? Are you allowed to tell me?"

Moon sighed. "When I came here, I made a contract with the Almighty One. Milly's allowed to know I'm an angel as long as I don't fall in love. That's why I asked you to keep your distance, because I'm afraid if I get too close to you, I might fall for you, and Milly might forget me. She's the most important thing to me, and I can't lose her. I've already lost so much."

"Am I allowed to know you're an angel?" Odd asked.

Moon nodded. "There are certain circumstances for when a human is allowed to know about angels without a contract. I saved you by revealing I was an angel, and it's our job to make sure that no one goes before there time. I'm not sure you would've died, but at least you're okay. And you better not tell anyone what I just told you."

Odd smiled. "My lips are sealed."

Moon smiled, relieved. "Alright then." She got up. "So I'll see you later."

Odd got up as well. "Yeah. See you." Odd left, and when moon turned around to leave, Astria was standing there with a frown and her arms crossed.

"What were you thinking, Moon?!" Astria shouted. "He's a human! Not only is he human, he is a human with a D average!"

"Grades aren't everything, Ms. Smartypants," Moon said. She tried to walk away, but Astria blocked her path.

"Moon, I say this because I care. Get over this moron!"

"Don't you think I'm trying? Milly will forget me otherwise!"

"Then let myself and our sisters handle it while you go back to heaven."

"No. Then I'd have to marry William."

"Then you'd be lucky. He's smart, funny, good looking..."

Moon looked disgusted, but then thought of something. "Astria, you like William, don'y you?"

Astria blushed, but then nodded. "Ever since all of us were little kids. I've tried to tell him before, but I've always been interupted. I think he's had a crush on you for a while now. I would do anything to switch places with you right now."

"Then why don't you?"

"Huh?"

Moon started twirling a piece of her hair. "I'm serious. If we dye your hair red, cut and straighten it, give you contacts and some of my clothes, then you can go back and marry William, then I can stay here."

"That's completely insane!!"

"It might work!" Moon argued.

"If it does, it would be a total fluke." Astria snorted.

"You're the one that just said that you want to switch places with me. Now you can!"

Astria stuck her thumbnail in her mouth and started to chew it. "I want to, but..."

"But what?"

"It's impossible," Astria decided. "No way is possible."

"Only those who try the unimaginable achieve the impossible," Moon said. She turned her back to her sister. "Find me after the talent show tomorrow. If you want to go, then that'll be your chance."
