Odd was happy that Yumi and Aelita had helped her look like the old Odd. Yumi gave her a strip of cloth to tie around her chest to hide her breasts. As for clothes, Odd had played sick for three days at this point, she can make it look like he had lost a few pounds when he was sick. Now, she could go into public again.

What he really cared about was that he could go to the cafeteria. He and Kiwi had been living off of chips and whatever Ulrich brought back from there. Now he could eat what he wanted.

Currently, the boy-turned-girl-now-cross-dressing-as-a-boy was feasting on waffles, covered with scrambled eggs, with bacon on the side. Ulrich was staring at his friend, amazed at how fast she was eating, it was her third plate.

"Odd, shouldn't you slow down? Or, just stop eating all together?"

"No," She said through a mouthful of food, "You've only brought me half of what I eat every morning."

He didn't say anything else, just stared in amazement. Where does it all go? There was no way all of that could fit into a human stomach. Then, Odd stopped eating. Just stopped. She was staring at something behind Ulrich. He turned around to see a girl he had never seen before. She was looking right at them.

The girl was Morgan Wosen. She was a new student from America, the only reason she transferred to Kadic was that her parents felt that she should get to her roots. That and the fact that her aunt lived in the countryside outside Paris. She was looking for a crowd to join and was contemplating sitting at an empty table, but then she saw a group at one table. It wasn't the group that caught her attention, but the boy with the strangest fashion sense she had ever seen. His hair was really interesting too.

Odd saw the girl approaching their table. She was a medium sized redhead, had green eyes, and was dressed in a yellow shirt and blue jeans.

"Mind if I sit here?" She asked Odd.

Odd had never been this speechless. Not even when XANA had put him into a coma.

"No, n-not at all," Odd scooted her stuff over (the two empty trays), and let the new girl put her stuff down.

"So, who are you guys?" She asked.

"I-I'm Odd!" God, why was she so nervous?

"I'm Ulrich," Ulrich said, as calm and monotonous as ever, then pointed out who everyone else was.

"Nice to meet you all," Morgan said, " I'm Morgan. I just transferred from Washington DC."

"You're American?" Odd asked, "You kind of look Irish."

"I get that from my mom. My dad's from Quebec. I have an aunt that lives here in France, though."

The two continued talking for a while. Ulrich was just glad that Odd had stopped eating like a ravenous demon. Odd found out that she was fourteen, and loved rock music, especially Linkin Park.

They left the cafeteria and went off to their classes. It was Odd's first day back, so he was pretty far behind on everything. He was so nervous when she saw people staring at her.

On the way to lunch, Odd saw Morgan again.

"Hey... Odd, was it?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you come see me in private?"

Odd thought this sounded strange, but shrugged and walked with her. They stopped at the edge of the woods, and Morgan spoke.

"You're not really a boy are you?"

Odd was speechless for what seemed like years. Was it that bad of a disguise?

"How did you figure that out!" Odd asked with a mix of suspicion and surprise, not with the fake voice this time.

"Your clothes," She pointed to Odd's shirt and pants, "They're way too baggy. A hipster wouldn't even have them that loose."

"You can find out that I'm a girl just by my clothes?"

"Yeah, you're using an elastic strip of cloth to hide your boobs, it's pretty easy to figure out."

Odd palmed her own forehead several times. The first two thoughts in his head were why was she even telling him, and !

"Don't worry," Morgan said, "Your secret's safe with me."

Odd was silent for a minute, then said, "Thanks..."

But Morgan didn't look like she was finished.

"Oh, and I was wondering... Why are you dressed like a boy?"

Odd was silent for awhile. Then, "Do I have to answer that one?"

"Well, I was just curious. It's a little strange."

Odd shrugged, "Personal preference?"

"But then why would it be a secret?" Morgan was smiling now, felling like she had just won this conversation.

Odd really did not know what to do at this point. Should he tell her the truth? No, that's the dumbest thing that came to his mind yet. What to do...

"Hello, answer the question," Morgan said impatiently, "I don't have all day."

Ulrich walked up, he had been trying to find Odd, who had just disappeared. The Italian girl was happy that he came, he was her only life line at this point.

"Odd," He said, seeing the two girls, "Where did you go?"

"Morgan knows, Ulrich." Was all Odd could say.

He looked a little freaked at this.

"Why did you tell her?"

"I didn't."

"Don't worry," Morgan said reassuringly to Ulrich, "I won't tell anybody that Odd's a girl."

Ulrich relaxed a little bit, but not because she'd keep the secret. He had thought she knew the other secret.

"Maybe you can answer my question, though," Morgan said to him, "Why does Odd dress like a guy?"

Ulrich thought for a second.

"That's a secret I don't think she want's you to know. It's a little weird..."

"What is it!" She asked, frustrated that she was being denied an answer.

"I don't think you should know." Odd mumbled, trying to think of a reason to explain this.

"Maybe I'll tell the whole school that Odd's a girl, how's that?"

"Is that a threat?" Ulrich asked, he didn't like this girl.

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't."

"Listen," Odd said, interrupting the argument, "It's lunchtime, let's go get some lunch and talk about this there."

"Fine," The two said, turning away from each other.

They went to the cafeteria. Odd was worried that lunch was half over, Ulrich was worried that Odd would make friends with Morgan.

Once Odd had gotten her food, she looked around for Morgan, and saw her sitting with the rest of the group. She went over there and Jeremie glared at her.

"What's up, Jeremie?" Odd asked the angry looking genius.

"Oh, nothing," Jeremie said sarcastically. That meant this was going to be really good, or really bad, "Morgan was just telling us about how she figured out your secret."

Odd was speechless, why would he be mad about... Oh, if she figured out that Odd was a girl, who's to say she didn't figure out about Lyoko. Odd was an open book sometimes.

Odd just sat down across from the new girl.

"Why are you so pale?" She asked Odd.

"Nothing." Odd said quickly. A little too quickly.

"You want to answer my question now?"

"Maybe later," Odd said.

Just then, Jeremie's cell phone beeped. He looked at it and gasped. The black haired girl sitting across from him whispered something to him.

"Odd," Jeremie said, "We have an, uh, issue." He was trying to be nonchalant, but Odd wasn't catching on.

"What are you talking about?" Odd asked, confused about the sudden change in mood. Then the black haired girl, XANA, pointed to herself.

"Oh," Odd said, finally catching on, "That kind of issue."

"What's going on?" Morgan asked, not understanding the situation at all.

"I'll answer your question later," Odd said, praising God in his mind for the save, "We just kind of have an emergency."

The entire group, except for a very confused Morgan, got up and ran out to the woods.

As they were running, Odd asked what was going on.

"Jeremie," She began, "I thought that with XANA out, there wouldn't be anymore activated towers. What's going on?"

"It is ZETA." XANA said simply. She was still trying to get used to her human body. It was so fragile. Plus, she couldn't run without stopping for breath. A real human body was nothing like one of her spectres.

"ZETA?" Yumi asked, "But I thought it was a part of Lyoko."

"He is, but he is corrupted. He has been for ten years. I was designed to prevent him from getting too powerful. I have failed in that sense."

They arrived at their destination. They climbed down the ladder into the tunnels. XANA had acquired a black skate board the previous day.

They all went to the factory. Now, they had to take turns with the elevator. Four people at a time. Jeremie told everybody except for Lilly and XANA to go down to the scanner room.

"Transfer Aelita, transfer Ulrich, transfer Yumi," Jeremie started the scanning sequence, "Scanner Aelita, scanner Ulrich, scanner Yumi... Virtualization."

Odd and Jason entered scanners.

"Transfer Odd, transfer Jason... Scanner Odd, Scanner Jason... Virtualization."

Odd landed on all fours when she was reconstructed in Lyoko. She looked around. They were in the forest sector. They heard XANA speak instead of Jeremie.

"This seems to be the last place that I have any form of control. William is in a tower somewhere, but I do not know which one. It seems that Omicron is attacking my forces here, though."

Odd just didn't trust her. XANA had messed with their lives for a long time. Why should they trust her?

They saw lasers up ahead. A group of twenty mantises were attacking a group of bloks and krabs. They seemed outnumbered.

"Guys, you need to stop the mantises," Jeremie said, "I'm trying to locate William. Maybe XANA can persuade him to help."

They saw a figure land on his back not too far away.

"No need, Jeremie," Yumi said, "We found him. It looks like he needs our help."

Jason pulled his pistols and charged ahead. He wanted to get out of here before he lost his mind. He had been really on edge lately. Maybe it was because his dad told him to keep their communication a secret. Maybe it was because it was his fault with what happened to Odd. Whatever the reason, he was pissed and wanted to KILL something.

He ran up to the mantises and fired like a maniac. He didn't care if he hit anything, he was just filled with blind fury. Somewhere between the fifth or sixth mantis, his clips were empty. Rolling behind a tree, he reloaded his guns and went to dart out, guns blazing. He was stopped when two arrows shot past his face and hit their marks. The two mantises exploded. The cavalry seemed to arrive as Ulrich sprinted past, both swords drawn. He used one sword to block the mantis's blades and impaled it with the other one. William slashed one across the chest, killing it.

Yumi threw her fans and hit two of them. Only one of them fell, the other one started firing blindly. Jason picked this one off, using the Hunter ability. Eight left. William called a tarantula, then jumped onto it. He rode it into the small crowd of mantises, knocking some over. William jumped off and impaled one of the creature's chests. Ulrich dragged his swords on the ground and sprinted over two fallen mantises. His swords sliced them in two.

Odd shot a few laser arrows at one. Apparently, her last two victims were strokes of luck, as the arrows only seemed to piss the mantis off. It charged after her and the only thought that came into Odd's head was Run! The mantis chased her and shot at her continuously. It eventually fired a charged blast and hit her square in the back. Odd devirtualized instantly.

Yumi went next. She threw her fans at the mantis that Odd had weakened. The monster shot one down and slashed the other in two. It fired furiously at her. Yumi got hit in the legs twice, then once in the chest. That was enough to devirtualize her.

During this, Ulrich had managed to take another mantis down, then noticed that XANA's monsters were just standing there, completely still.

"William!" Ulrich shouted, "Could you tell them to help? We're a little out numbered here!"

William remained silent, except for the occasional grunt when he slashed his enormous sword at a mantis.

"Attack!" The possessed romantic shouted. The krab aimed for the nearest mantis when the nimble creature jumped onto it and stabbed its XANA mark. The bloks went pretty quickly too.

Jason was firing as fast as he could. If it were the real world, his trigger fingers would start getting blisters. He hit one more. It fell and exploded. He was going to aim for another when he got shot in the head.

"OH MY GOD!" Jason shouted as he nearly fell out of the scanner. He had never experienced that before. It didn't hurt, yet he could feel the area where the laser had hit him. Right at the back of the cranium. It ached. He stood up as the "pain" subsided and walked to the elevator.

"Jason?" Jeremie asked over the PA, "You okay?"

The boy shouted in no definite direction, "It shot me in my FREAKIN' HEAD!"

Jeremie tried to think of some thing to say when the elevator doors opened. He turned to Jason and said, "It happens."

In, Lyoko, Aelita was trying to sneak around the battle. There were so many ways to go in the forest sector.

She was running, trying to find a path that would lead to the tower. She had found a definite path when, out of nowhere, a red haze appeared, making her come to a stop.

"Hello, human." It said in a very deep, creepy voice.

"What are you?" Aelita asked, backing up slowly. The haze followed her.

"I am a program," It said simply, "That is all you need to know."

It surrounded her, pulling her away from the tower.

In the lab, XANA noticed that, aside from William, Ulrich was fighting alone. There were more of the creatures coming.

"Send me back." She said. Jeremie just stared at the, well, he really didn't know what XANA was now. She had a living body, and had emotion to an extent. But she thought like a computer, which made this request a little strange.

"I have power in Lyoko," She explained, "Please, send me in."

XANA? Say please? What was going on in this thing's head? Jeremie continued staring.

"You know, I don't think she's much of a danger anymore." Jason pointed out.

"Fine," Jeremie said, "Go in. But if you die in Lyoko, you can't be devirtualized."

The girl's face was just as stoic as ever.

"Thank you." She walked to the elevator, but turned right before she entered it, "Jeremie, I have chosen a human name."

"This isn't the right time, XANA."

"Dee."

"What?"

"That is the name I've chosen, Dee." She attempted a smile. It looked more like she was in pain, but Jeremie got the point.

"We already gave you a name. Dia-" Jeremie paused, he noticed what XANA had just given herself. Her "legal" name was Diana Stones. She was playing the part of Aelita's half-sister. XANA had given herself a nick-name. It was like she was becoming more human.

"That's a good nick-name." He said, actually feeling impressed with the fact that there was an imagination in that head.

XANA, er, Dee, entered the elevator. She entered the scanner room and walked into one of the large tube-like machines.

"Transfer, scanner," Jeremie said, "Virtualization."

Dee hadn't felt this when she was materialized into the real world. It was like being surrounded by a warmth, but then the rush of cold air from below made it go away. The deconstruction was not painful at all, either. She was being put together pixel by pixel, seeing the battle once her eyes were reconstructed. She dropped down, landing on two feet, not even bending her legs to reduce the impact. If anything, she went down slower than she should have. She looked around , she had never seen Lyoko from this point of view. It was just so big.

She examined herself, she was wearing a black trench coat. It seemed a little too big for her. Under it was a tight fitting outfit. She wore boots with spikes on the ankle. Instead of a weapon, she had some sort of small box, but she knew exactly what it did.

Dee pulled up a virtual screen, projected from the box. On it was a number of battle cards. She selected one and pulled it into two, then tapped the screen. Two megatanks appeared.

"Attack the monsters," She ordered, "Protect William."

"That's your weapon?" Lilly asked. Jeremie seemed to be having issues with his headset.

"I have no weapon," Dee/XANA said, "I just summon my monsters."

"Why protect William?" Lilly asked, "Ulrich could use some help." Then she heard a panicked scream from Jeremy.

"AAAAH! Aelita's missing!" The blonde genius screamed.

"Where could she have gone?" Lilly asked.

"I don't know! One second she was there, then she was gone!"

He typed furiously on the computer, trying to locate Aelita. She must have disappeared during the confusion. His screen flickered, then showed a "Ο" symbol.

"That's not ZETA," Lilly said.

"I know," The computer said, "I am Omicron. I believe that this-" A window opened up, showing a very scared Aelita"-Is yours."

"Aelita!" Jeremie shouted into his headset, "Let her go!"

"If you do not follow our orders, she will be eliminated."

"What do you want?" Jeremie asked reluctantly.

"You get rid of all resistance in Lyoko, and we let her free."

"That's all?"

While Jeremie was trying to negotiate with the hostile program, someone else was trying to contact him. Nikolai Resnovik was crammed into the smallest aircraft yet. He was currently in a suborbital with two rooms. (FYI: A suborbital is a jet that can stay just outside of Earth's atmosphere without leaving full on gravity. God I'm a nerd...) He was in what Wolfe called the hacker's lounge. Lounge was not even close by a longshot, this room was freaking tiny. But he wasn't concerned about that, right now, he needed to get into the old supercomputer's systems. The firewalls seemed to have changed.

"O bozhe..." He said in his native language (Russian), very frustratedly. He tried to hack the computer again, and a red circle popped up with an exclamation point.

"Ya ne paneemau!" He yelled.

"What's wrong Nik?" The Englishman in the cockpit asked.

"These kids, the ones that reactivated the supercomputer, they reset the firewalls."

"Why don't you just call them and ask them to take them down?"

"Bozhe moi," He said frustratingly, then he shouted at Wolfe, "What the HELL do you think I'm trying to do!"

"Relax, Nik, relax. Why do you need to get on that old thing anyway?

"They let XANA out! I thought I told you!"

"You told me they turned him into a human."

"They did, but remember why XANA was updated?"

"To make the world government collapse?"

"Why are you always so stupid?"

"What? That's what Professor Hopper, I mean Schaeffer, wanted, wasn't it?"

"The virus was updated to act as a permanent moderator. If one of the AIs got too powerful, he would attack it."

"Oh... " Wolfe said, "So that means that without XANA, one of the AIs is taking over?"

"Three, actually."

"Which ones?"

"ZETA, KAPPA, and OMICRON."

"Oooh, ZETA?" Wolfe said in a sarcastically scared voice, "What do you intend to do?"

"First, I need to get a connection."

"Well, that might be a problem..." Wolfe said, looking over the plane's gauges, "We need fuel."

"We've only been up here for an hour!" Nikolai shouted, "I thought I told you to fill the plane!"

"I was going to, but then I noticed how fuel was so expensive... And how the Agency doesn't give us much of an allowance."

"You really are an idiot!" Nikolai yelled.

"Just, keep trying to get a connection," Wolfe said, "If we need to, we can glide down." He looked at the gauges again, looked back at his friend, and smiled, "How high do you think we are?"

The Russo-American just stared at the young pilot. He only muttered one thing, "Kristos..." (For any needed info, "Kristos" is "Christ"; "Bozhe Moi" is "Oh my god"; "Ya ne paneemau" is "I don't understand"; and "O bozhe" is "Oh god." I'm just trying to seem authentic, sorry for the Russian)

"Okay OMICRON," Jeremie said, "I'll pull XANA and Ulrich out, you just let Aelita go."

The computer was silent for a minute, "Agreed."

Jeremie regained control of the computer, he devirtualized Ulrich and XANA. Odd ran up, "Jeremie, what the hell?"

"I have to do this Odd, they're threatening to kill Aelita if I don't."

Then, a phone call came on, Jeremie noticed that there was no name or number, it didn't even say PRIVATE. Jason saw it, he recognized it as the agency, and he was confused.

"Hello?" Jeremie asked, confused.

"Hello, Mr. Belpois," Said a disguised voice. It sounded like that guy from the Saw movies. Odd would have laughed if its next words were 'Would you like to play a game?'

Sadly, those were not the next words to be spoken.

"I have been watching you," The voice said, "And, all pleasantries aside, you are a bitch to get in touch with."

Jeremie heard a distorted voice in the background, "Shock, 10 minutes till I cut the computer. Fuel doesn't grow on trees you know."

"Please excuse my idiot friend's rude interruption," The voice said, Jeremie looked at Odd for a second. The voice continued, "Down to business. I am an Observer, I keep an eye on all possible branches to Lyoko. You seem to need help."

"What makes you think that?" Odd asked sarcastically. Meanwhile, Ulrich and Dee entered the Lab. Ulrich looked angry.

"I was going to destroy the last mantis when you devirtualized me!" Ulrich said angrily.

Jeremie just looked at him then looked back at the screen. He noticed that Aelita had reappeared on it, here life points intact.

"I don't have much time," The voice said, "I will send a program into Lyoko to aid you. His name is TAU, or Tactical Attack Unit. He is materializing now."

Jeremie heard a faint, warped sound of keys tapping. He saw a new avatar appear on the screen.

"TAU is spawning..." The voice trailed off, "Now."

"Thanks?" Jeremie was still a little confused as to who this person was.

"I'll be in touch in twenty two hours. That is, if Beast fills the jet tonight!" There seemed to be an argument going on, with the disguising program running, it sounded like a scene from a horror movie. Then the line went dead.

In Lyoko, Aelita was still recovering from the mini hostage situation. She saw someone being virtualized. In the distance, William was on his last legs. He called a manta so he could flee, but it was shot down. There was just one more mantis, but it was like trying to hit a bird with a boulder. His sword was hefty, and the monster was built for speed.

The avatar dropped to the ground in front of Aelita. He landed like a gargoyle (Hands on his knees, with his knees bent). The person had dark hair, but it didn't seem to have a definite color. He had a very light tan on his skin. His outfit was a dark blue uniform with a strange symbol on the shoulder. He had some kind of rifle on his back, it looked high-tech but it still retained its basic form.

"Jeremie?" Aelita asked to the sky, "Who is this?"

"It's a program that someone just uploaded to the supercomputer." Jeremie said.

"Does he have a name?"

"I am the Tactical Attack Unit," The avatar said calmly, "But you may call me TAU."

Aelita was, well, surprised at the program's voice. She thought it would be deeper. He sounded younger than her. TAU drew his rifle and walked to the edge of the ground, aiming for the last mantis.

"Super Sight," He whispered. His eyes seemed to glow.

He fired, the gun fired in a bright flash, zooming through the virtual trees, hitting the mantis on ZETA's mark. Aelita saw as the distant monster fell and exploded. William turned to see the attacker. He glared at Aelita, considering attacking. If he moved now, he could catch her off guard and capture her. But the scyphozoa hadn't been seen in a while, which was strange. Not only that, but the new monsters had been attacking him. Him! XANA's right hand man!

Then, he felt something. It was like a headache, but like a pressure was being released. He collapsed, then got back up. He looked around, feeling his mind clear.

"Where am I?" He asked to no one in particular. He turned around to see Aelita and someone else running to the activated tower. Then, everything returned to him. XANA, the factory, Lyoko. How long had he been controlled? He ran in the tower's direction.

Jeremie just stared at William's marker. It changed from hostile to friendly, then started moving towards Aelita, who was in the tower. Odd laughed out loud, "Those guys sounded really unprofessional! Did you hear the guy in the background? He sounds like a total idiot!"

The girl continued laughing for a good while, Ulrich was thinking on how the background reminded him of Odd. Jeremie heard Aelita.

"Jeremie!" She said from the tower, "The code isn't working!"

XANA/Dee walked up to the screen and looked at the background.

"Try Epsilon." The girl said.

A few seconds passed.

"That doesn't work either."

Jason gave the next suggestion, "Try Lyoko backwards. Some programs are really stupid."

A few more seconds passed.

"That works!" Aelita said, very surprised in the simplicity of the problem.

The tower deactivated and Aelita was devirtualized. After talking with William, Jeremie was convinced that it was safe to devirtualize him. He was tempted to deactivate William's clone, when the tower deactivated itself.

"That shouldn't happen." Jeremie said. He pulled up the data on the clone. There was none. This could be really bad.

"Guys, it's saying that William's clone never even existed."

"That can't be right," Aelita said.

"KAPPA could have done this," Dee said, "He controls most of the data in Lyoko."

"Why hasn't ZETA done anything?" Jeremie asked.

"He controls the primary systems. Knowing how he works though, he might absorb the other two, giving himself maximum control of the system."

"So what does this mean for William's clone?" Yumi asked, feeling sorry for the stupid program.

"He's probably disappeared by now..." Jeremy said. They all had a moment of silence for the obnoxious creature. Even Lilly and Jason, who never met him, were silent. Jason wasn't silent for the clone, though. He thought he knew who that was who had called. But why would they help?

Nikolai was sitting in the motel room. Most covert organizations put their agents in grand five-star hotels, but the Agency had put him in a run down motel outside Berlin. At least the airstrip was close by.

The phone rang, he answered.

"Hello?"

"It's Wolfe."

"Let me guess, we don't have the money for fuel?"

"Oh, I filled the jet."

"Then why are you calling?"

"We can't pay the rent for the hangar."

"Then we call for more money."

"The Operator is going to kill us." Wolfe said in a song like manner.

"It's just for rent."

"You call," Wolfe said seriously, "I don't want to go another month without a paycheck."

Nikolai hung up. He looked at his laptop to monitor the program's status. TAU seemed to be doing fine. He pulled up a live feed from a satellite. It showed Paris. He zoomed in on the Kadic District. Then on the academy. He zoomed in one more time to a part of the dormitory building. He could see the back of a computer monitor. He looked at the clock, it was midnight in Paris. Calling his boss would have to wait.

Nikolai activated his voice disguise program, and dialed his son's phone.

Odd was laying on her bed. God it was a late night. She heard a knock on her window. It was Morgan.

"How did you do that?" Odd asked as she stood back up from crawling in through the window. She had climbed up from her room's window. She had been put into an unoccupied room, so there was no suspicion or nosy roommate.

"I took a class in my old school," She said smiling deviously, "It's pretty useful when you're into urban exploration."

"Oh," Odd said, great, no more time to think of a lie, "I guess that you want an answer now..."

"Ah, keep it," Morgan said, "I don't really care anymore."

"So, why'd you come down here?" Odd asked.

"I was getting lonely," Morgan replied, "Who knew that having no roommate would be so quiet?"

"So, wait," Odd said, holding her hands up, "You threaten me for an answer, and now you want to hang out?"

"Yeah."

The first thought in Odd's mind was, What the f*** is up with this girl? Odd thought that he understood the female mind, but this girl was going against that idea. Was she just playing with him/her? Was this just a test?

Ulrich walked in to grab a towel, he had been in the shower. He was just wearing boxers. Because of this, he flipped out when he saw Morgan, whom he really did not like.

"Gah! What the hell!" He shouted, but not too loud so not to wake up anybody in the building.

"Hey Ulrich," Morgan said, a little too coolly for the current situation, "I was just coming to see if you guys wanted to hang out?"

"It's midnight!" The German boy yelled, once again, just loud enough to not wake up every body, "And I thought you hated us."

"I don't hate you guys," Morgan protested, "I was just trying to figure out a single question." She then switched subjects out of nowhere, "But about the time, I'm kind of a night owl."

"So," Ulrich started, "Why do you want to hang out?"

"I'm lonely! I don't have a roommate and you're the only people I've gotten to know!"

"Okay, okay," Ulrich said, "Calm down, I guess that you can hang out here for a little while."

He walked back out of the room with the towel.

Morgan turned to Odd, "Do you have an MP3 player?"
