I only own Moon and her sisters. Everything else belongs to the Code: Lyoko creators.
Odd was jogging around the tree in his black shirt and sweatpants. He was freezing his butt off, but there was nothing he could do. Moon wasn't here yet, and he wasn't missing a chance to fly.
Moon floated down from the tree. "Hey, Odd." She whispered. Her wings blended in perfectly with the darkness.
"How long were you up there?" Odd asked.
"About half an hour."
"Did you not notice me running around the tree so my feet wouldn't turn into icicles?!"
"No, I did. But it was just so hilarious that I had to watch for a little while longer."
"Moon!" Odd tried to tackle her, but Moon flew up and avoided him. Odd did a faceplant in the dirt. "That's cheating!" Odd complained when he got his face out of the mud.
Moon laughed at his mud covered face. "Clean up and let's go." Moon told him. Odd rubbed the mud off on his shirt and then fixed his hair. Moon then grabbed Odd's hands, and slowly lifted into the air. Odd started to panic when the were above the tree.
"Um, are you sure this is safe?" Odd questioned.
"Aren't you the one that asked if I would take you flying?" Odd couldn't argue with that. They continued to rise until they're silohettes were against the full moon.
"Wow." that was all Odd could say.
They flew over the gate of the school and flew over the rooftops of the town. "Hey, Moon, can you land by that cafe?" Odd Pointed at an older brick building.
Moon gave a puzzled look, but landed in an alley next to the building. "Why'd you want to land here?"
Odd smiled. "I'm taking you out to dinner."
Moon blushed furiously. "Odd!!"
"Yes?"
"Remember the distance thing?"
"Remember the personal servant thing?"
"That has nothing to do with taking me out to dinner!"
"Ulrich and Yumi do stuff like this all the time, and they're friends."
"Friends who are too stubborn to admit that they like each other. And I don't recall either of them having wings to sneak out of Kadic with."
"Touche." He grabbed Moon's hand and started to pull her. "But I don't care. Let's go. They close soon." Odd asked the waiter for a table and he sat them inside the restaurant. All the booths were occupied, so the waiter sat them at a bigger table meant for groups.
"This was a set up, wasn't it?" Moon asked.
"Maybe."
"Odd, please don't do this."
"Why not?"
"I don't want Milly to forget me."
"A group of friends going out to have fun isn't going to break your contract thing."
"Two people aren't a group."
"But six are." Odd motioned for Moon to turn around and she saw Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy were standing behind her.
"I see that you finally gave in." Aelita asked.
"What do you mean?"
"To Odd's constant asking you out. You gave in." Ulrich explained.
"I was tricked." Moon said.
Yumi sat down. "Well, you're here anyway, so why no t eat with us?"
Despite the fact that she was tricked, Moon actually had a somewhat good time. She found out that she had a lot in common with Yumi, and Ulrich wasn't the self absorbed jock she thought he was. Aelita was really sweet, and Jeremy turned out to be more than a computer geek.
They stayed at the restaurant for two more hours before everyone was stuffed and headed back to school. Odd walked Moon back to her dorm.
"I didn't think I would say this, but thanks for tricking me into sneaking out and forcing me to hang out with you," Moon smiled.
"You weren't forced. You could've left anytime you wanted." Odd said. Moon shrugged.
"Like I said, thanks," Moon unlocked her door. "See you in the morning."
"Yeah. See ya." Odd left on Cloud Nine.
When Moon closed the door and turned on the light, she saw William sitting on her bed with a frown and his arms crossed.
"What the hell are you doing in here?" Moon asked angrily. "And how did you get into my room?!"
William held up a Gateway. "Why'd you sneak out with Odd?"
"You're not my mom; I don't have to report to you."
"But I am your fiancee."
"No, you're not. And besides, Odd tricked me."
"If you keep hanging out with Odd, then Milly will forget about you."
"If I fall in love Milly will forget about me. I'm not in love with Odd."
William pulled out a small handheld mirror in the shape of a heart and handed it to Moon. She knew what this was. It measured you affections for someone by size and color. If it fit exactly in the mirror and was crimson red, then you were 100 in love.
Just to humor William, she held it up. And gasped. The heart was light pink and three-fourths the size of the mirror. "But..."
William jumped off the bed and put one hand on Moon's face and grabbed one of her hands with his other hand. She tried to struggled free, but it was no use. William quickly moved in and kissed her full on the mouth.
Moon used her free hand to slap William, breaking the kiss. She turned around to run away but William grabbed her waist. "Moon, Odd isn't good enough for you. I can make you happy. Love me." Moon elbowed William in the stomach, making him groan painfully. She then pushed him out of her room and locked the door. She slid against the door and started to cry.
Stupid, stupid, stupid William!! Moon thought over and over and over again. I hate him!
