Odd was about ten feet away from Hailie's door. He turned around and ran back, hearing her turn off her CD player. The door was locked, so he started to knock.

"Hailie! Let me in!" She opened the door, a questioning look planted on her face.

"Odd? What-?"

"How did you know about Lyoko?"

"What's Lyoko?"

Odd took her arm gently but firmly. "You knew about Lyoko! You went to the factory... you gave us directions on Lyoko... then you did a Return to the Past!"

Hailie laughed. "A Return to the Past? That's what you guys have called it?"

"Huh?" He let her go, and she clapped a hand over her mouth, as if she'd said to much. "What did you just say?"

"Absolutely..." She paused and jumped back into the room. "... nothing!" She slammed the door and locked it.

"Hailie!" The door didn't move. "God damnit..."

Odd turned, sighing, and ran to the benches.

With Everyone Else

"What happened?" Jeremie asked, rubbing his head.

"Hailie went to the factory an gave us directions on Lyoko. Jeremie, she knew about it!" Aelita said frantically.

"Figures, Odd would tell her!" Jeremie said angrily.

"I don't think he did," Yumi replied. "You should've seen the look on his face. He was totally shocked!"

Jeremie sighed.

"You guys!" Odd came running. "She knows!"

"Nice observation, Sherlock," Ulrich commented.

"Shut up," Odd crossed his arms.

"The question is, how does she know?" Yumi interrupted.

"MY job is to ask questions. YOUR job is to answer them!"

"I'll go and ask her," Aelita volunteered.

"Like that's going to work!" Odd replied. "She won't talk to me! How am I supposed to ask her out now?"

"I think we could-" Ulrich replied.

"You were thinking? There's a shocker, Ulrich. Did it hurt?" Odd said grouchily.

"No, as a matter of fact, and as I was saying! I think we could all question her, that way we wouldn't have to repeat anything and we have a better chance of getting an answer."

"That sounds good," Yumi agreed.

"I like it," Aelita added.

"Sure," Odd said.

"Okay," Jeremie replied.

They walked cautiously toward Hailie's door and knocked.

"Hailie, it's us! We need to talk to you!" Aelita called.

"Go away!" Hailie yelled through the door. "I don't have to answer to any of you!"

"You don't have to," Jeremie replied.

"No, I don't and I won't!"

"Please, Hailie, we need your help!" Ulrich yelled.

"So? She needs my help more than you do!"

"Who, Hailie? Who?" Odd asked

"As I said, I won't answer to you!"

"FIne," Yumi sighed in defeat. They walked glumly away.

I want reviews!
