I own Moon and her sisters. I do not own anything original from Code: Lyoko.
The auditorium was packed with students the day of the talent show, as was backstage. Students that sang belted out opera for practice, dancers stretched, magicians tried to located their rabbits, and everyone else was cramming in front of the vanity, trying to put on a bit more makeup, a tiny bit more concealer.
Among the students waiting in the auditorium, Moon was patiently waiting for it to get over with. She had only come because she had no clue when it ended, meaning she wouldn't be able to find Astria afterwards to see if she wanted to marry William by pretending to be her.
"Hi, Moon," Milly said above the noise. She took a seat next to her big sister.
"Hey, Milly," She noticed the video camera in her hands that she had given Milly. "Recording the talent show?"
Milly nodded. "I'm going to edit it to show the highlights and the failures of the talent show."
As soon as she had said that, the curtains rose. Nova and Starlette were dressed in skimpy hot pink outfits and their hair was streaked pink as well. The had oversized headsets, sunglasses, and bright pink lip gloss. After several moments, they started thier singing and dancing routine. Moon could've sworn that it was worse than when she saw them through the Looking Glass.
After, two more singers, three magicians, a ballerina, and a fortuneteller, Moon's eyes were starting to glaze over when she saw that William was on the stage. What talent does he have other than being a dumbass? Moon asked herself. Apparently, it was singing.
'Just the Girl I'm Looking For' by Click 5
She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems, she's the one I'm after
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't tell if I want anyone else
She a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for
She can't keep a secret for more than an hour
She's runs at one hundred miles per hour
And the more she ignores me the more I adore her
What can I do?
I'll do anything for her
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't tell if I want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for
But when she see's it's me
On her caller I.D.
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word she's ever said
Still ringing in my head
Still ringing in my heeeeaaaad
She's cold and she's cruel but she knows what she's doing
Knows just what to say so my whole day is ruined
Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't tell if I want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for
The whole time, William was looking directly at her, and at the end her winked at her. Moon flipped her middle finger.
Realizing that William was the last performance, Moon ran out of there to meet with Astria. She was waiting by the tree where Moon had told Odd about being an angel.
"I'm not doing it," Astria blurted.
"What?!" Moon asked, dumbfounded.
"William must've wanted to marry you, so that's why he is doing this," Astria explained. "I marry him and then he realizes it's just me, then he'd be crushed."
"Oh, please. He'll get over it."
"Don't you care about anyone other than yourself?"
"Of course!" Moon yelled. "Why do you think I came back here from New York? To watch over Milly!"
"That's your job!"
"Milly is practically my sister. At least more than you are!"
Moon knew she probably went too far. Astria started to tear up. She quickly thumbed away her tears. "Anyway, this is my choice. Find another scapegoat for you impossible plan." Astria walked back to her dorm, and Moon slumped on the tree. She never didi anything right.
"Moon?"
Moon looked up to see Odd's face. "What are you doing out here?"
Moon shrugged. "I just wanted to be outside."
Odd took a seat beside her. "Listen, I was wondering about something..."
"Yeah?"
"Do you think you could taking me flying?"
Moon saw that the sun was setting. In a couple hours it would be dark. "Can you meet me back around ten?" Odd nodded. "Good. Make sure to dress in black. Jim might catch us if we don't."
"Jim would faint if he saw us," Odd laughed.
"That's true. Just do it anyways," And with that, Moon walked back to her dorm, and Odd savored the fact that they had an unofficial date.
