Chapter 21: Mishaps
wow! long chapter! enjoy!!! Lame ending but still enjoy it!
The next morning everyone woke up and hurried to get ready so they could meet the new earthlings.
"Uh oh...it's already 9?" squealed Mason rushing to get ready.
Mason ran out to the courtyard where his friends were already at and quickly sat down with them. Mason had a panicked look in his eyes as he sat down.
"I got a call from some....family....and they need me to pick them up from the airport." lied Mason. He didn't want them to know about Emily....he was afraid they would think of him as self-centered.
"Oh! and my uncle said it was okay!" announced Mason.
"Ok, now there's one less person who can watch the two new kiddies." noted Ulrich. Ulrich hardly got any sleep that night and had little bags under his eyes and was constantly yawning.
"Ahem." coughed Yumi.
"Oh and uhhhhh...me and Yumes have a date today...." blushed Ulrich.
"YAAAY!" cheered the others while they also clapped.
"So that leaves Jeremie, Aelita or Odd..." commented Mason in his slick tone of voice.
"We have to work on the supercomputer...it's now all "buggy" since Max and Apollo came out." sighed Aelita.
"So that leaves Odd." they all smiled at him like a pack of wolves.
"I guess I have no choice." sighed Odd in a monotone of a voice he used when knew he was beaten.
"Gotta go now bye!" chattered Mason jumping on a mo-pad.
"Seriously?" snickered Ulrich. The mo-pad was a maroon and was a longer and more wider version than usually seen.
"It the only thing you can get when your 14." snapped Mason putting on a black helmet.
Mason gave a thumb up before "putting" away. The others started laughing about how ridiculous Mason looked on the little machine.
"Okay...okay....we need to get going ourselves." snorted Ulrich letting his hand creep around Yumi's waist.
"Ba-bye!" smiled Odd turning around and heading towards the factory with Jeremie.
"Lets go before Sissi shows up." suggested Yumi.
"Yeah good idea." said Ulrich.
Meanwhile Jeremy, Aelita, and Odd were now at the factory.
"Hi Odd." yawned Max.
"Have a nice sleep?" questioned Odd.
"Sorta...it felt pretty good though." spoke Apollo.
"Hi ya ready to walk the town." asked Odd.
"We going to walk the town...wouldn't we need a leash?" asked Apollo.
"No...it's just a saying!" moaned Odd.
Meanwhile Mason is driving though the main road.
"Aww for the love of good...get off your cellphone." mumbled Mason scratching the back of his head.
His cellphone rang and he drove into a parking lot and answered it.
"Mason?" asked Emily.
"Yeah?" questioned Mason.
"Thanks again for coming." sighed Emily.
"It's okay I owe ya anyway." smirked Mason.
"Huh?" asked Emily.
Mason hung up before she could ask anymore questions, and then got back on the road.
Over by the theatre Yumi and Ulrich are deciding what movie they should watch.
"How about...Saw VI?" asked Yumi.
"Nah already saw that it wasn't that good." sighed Ulrich.
"How about....9?" asked Yumi.
"Yeah...sure!" smiled Ulrich.
They went up to the booth and asked for two tickets for 9, and before Yumi could pull out her money Ulrich slaps it onto the counter.
"Thank you sir....have a nice movie." said the woman behind the counter.
"Thanks," Yumi looked at the tag on the lady "Megan." smiled Yumi.
"Your welcome..enjoy the movie!" replied Megan.
They both walked to the snack counter where they ordered a jumbo sized popcorn, a box of sour patch kids, and two medium drinks.
"Enjoy the movie!" smiled the man behind the counter. Yumi and Ulrich would of liked to thank him back with his name, but they couldn't see it due to him being behind a solid stainless steel counter.
few hours
About two hours later at the factory, Jeremie and Aelita were finishing up with the repairs.
"There! It works!" smiled Aelita.
"Whew! I thought we were going to be here longer." sighed Jeremie with relief. He actually somewhat disliked always working on the computer day in and day out. He couldn't remember the last time he got any good sleep time since Lyoko.
"We better go check on Odd." suggested Jeremy.
They went up the elevator to find that the place was deserted.
"ODD!" they both yelled. They knew he couldn't hear then, but it was still good to let off some steam.
Now out by town. Odd was showing the boys around and how the world worked. While Max stayed calm Apollo darted around looking at the things he never saw in his research in the computer.
"Ooooooo! What's this?" pondered Apollo poking a small object.
"That's a microwave." shrugged Odd.
"You shouldn't be messing around like that......you could get in trouble." warned Max.
"Oh....sorry." whined Apollo taking his finger away from the microwave.
"Okay...this is a bench." explained Odd rubbing the brown wooden bench.
"We know, and don't talk to us like were babies you ass." glared Max.
Odd jumped back in surprise. Max still had that glare on his face.
"We know the basics of your living." clarified Max.
"Okay then." sighed Odd.
Soon they heard a loud grumbling noise.
"What was that?" asked Apollo.
"Hunger...I'm a bit hungry." admitted Odd.
"How do you relieve this...hunger?" asked Max.
"Just buy food." answered Odd.
Odd walked over to the nearest stand and ordered three hot dogs. After the man served them Odd sat down and gave the others one each.
"That's good." smirked Max taking another bite.
"Uh huh!" agreed Apollo with now ketchup on his face.
Right now Odd felt like a total genius teaching them how to live. He also was happy that he was actually the teacher and not the student.
At the same time, Mason was now at the airport. Walking across one of the moving floors.
"A-15 at 11:00 she said..." repeated Mason looking at his watch. It was now 10:58 and he was almost at the area of entrance. His cell phone rang again, and he picked it up to answer it.
"Emily....." guessed Mason.
"Yeah I'm on the ground....your there I hope." spoke Emily.
"Yep just got here got into a traffic jam down over back about thirty minutes ago." explained Mason walking over to the now crowded entrance area.
"Okay...I'll be there in a few bye." laughed Emily.
"Bye." replied Mason shutting off his phone.
After wating a few minutes the lady on the announcer proclaimed that flight 77765 or Air France was now letting people off.
Mason spotted Emily from the confused crowd and waved his hands in the air. Emily walked over.
"How was the trip?" asked Mason.
"Great!" replied Emily.
"Good...uhhh well are you hungry?" asked Mason.
"I'm a little bit." answered Emily.
"Okay we can get something here." sighed Mason.
Now Ulrich and Yumi's movie was over and they were walking out of the movie theatre.
"That was a cool movie." smiled Ulrich.
"Yeah!" agreed Yumi.
"You know Yumi.....I've been meaning to say this for a LONG time now." sighed Ulrich.
"What?" questioned Yumi.
"I-I see Odd?" questioned Ulrich looking over her side.
"Huh?" asked Yumi turning around to see Odd eating hot dogs with the others!
"UGH! He was supposed to stay inside the factory!" moaned Ulrich running over to Odd.
Yumi sighed, she got her hopes up and everything. She strolled over to where Ulrich was lecturing Odd now.
Now also Jeremy and Aelita were running through the woods heading over to town.
"Odd wasn't supposed to take them outside the factory area!" grumbled Jeremy.
"Where is he?" asked Aelita to herself.
They soon saw Odd with the other four over by the benches.
"You weren't supposed to take them outside of the factory boundaries!" lectured Jeremy.
"Yeah I already got that from Ulrich and Yumi." whined Odd.
"What's going on with you guys?" asked Ulrich.
"We were done with the repairs so we went to check on Odd, and he wasn't there!" explained Aelita.
"Yeah I'm sorry about that, I shouldn't have done that without permission." admitted Odd.
"Hey! Were did they go?" asked Yumi.
They now noticed two empty spots on the bench.
"Your kidding?!?" exclaimed Ulrich.
"Uh-oh." winced Odd.
"Great now we have to play hide-and-seek!" mumbled Jeremy getting up.
Everyone was now looking for Max and Apollo, but over by the airport Mason was now getting Emily some lunch.
"Okay what do you want?" asked Mason.
"Hmmm....how about McDonald's?" suggested Emily.
"Sure whatever..." sighed Mason.
"What is it...Mason your keeping something from me, and what is this about owing me?" questioned Emily.
Mason let out a giant sigh.
"Were not going to leave this airport until you tell me." stated Emily.
"Look I owe you because....I made you upset... and to make things worse I started laughing at you when you were crying........I should have never yelled at you and the other two the way I should have.....I know I have a really bad temper and I never been as angry as I was then...I guess someone was messing around with my really personal belongings and....I'm really really sorry." admitting Mason with his head down.
Emily was dead silent for a few minutes.
"Where in the name of XANA are they?" cried Odd.
"Well maybe if you did your job right we wouldn't have to be looking for them!" snapped Ulrich.
"Okay...okay maybe I screwed up a bit but our main priority is to find them!" stated Odd.
"He's right you know." agreed Jeremy.
"Your all right...but we need to find them!" commented Ulrich.
"Let's split up." suggested Yumi.
"Good idea!" said Odd.
"Meet back here in two hours." reminded Aelita.
"Right got it Aelita!" replied everyone.
They went to separate directions. Odd went to the main road they were just at, Ulrich checked the factory, Yumi into the park, Jeremy to the school, and Aelita checked the other side of town.
"You mean you kept that bottled up for about a week?" questioned Emily.
Mason completely ignored Emily and turned around to the McDonald's to order food, and plus now he wasn't in a talking mood.
After a few minutes of waiting Mason grabbed the food and sat down at the table. Emily took off the plastic wrapping to her Chicken sandwhich and took a bite out of it. Mason unwrapped his cheese burger and took a bite out of that.
"You know...these are actually pretty good." smiled Emily trying to get a reply from Mason. He obviously felt horrible for yelling at her so he stayed quiet.
After eating Mason and Emily walked out of the airport.
"A mo-pad?" giggled Emily.
"It was the best I could get." sighed Mason putting Emily's bags into the compartment in the seat.
Mason jumped on first and put on the first helmet. Emily got on second and put on the spare which was in the compartment. She had to put her arms around Mason so she wouldn't fall off, and when she did Mason let out a jolt and then blushed bright red. Mason started the motor and then was off.
"I checked the factory, and they weren't there!" moaned Ulrich.
"Not at the school either!" replied Jeremy.
"I'm checking the road right now." said Odd
"There not in first part of the forest either!" commented Yumi.
"We need to find them!" repeated Jeremy.
"Okay Jeremie calm down!" yelled the others.
"Okay your right." sighed Jeremy taking in deep breaths.
"We got to hope that Aelita finds them!" sighed Ulrich.
"Please Aelita! Please find them!" begged Odd.
"Okay I'll go check the deeper part of the woods." said Yumi.
"Bye." said the others hanging up.
After about an hour of driving and of the others looking for Apollo and Max they were starting to get tired.
"Mason...wake up!" shouted Emily tapping on his back.
"Hmm? Oh! Sorry!" jumped Mason turning around.
He was coming into town when he saw two people run across the road. Mason immediately pushed the brake which made him and Emily lunge forward.
"Hey! Wait up!" said Max chasing after Apollo.
Mason stared in disbelief at them and blinked several times. Then pulled over at Kadic and let her off.
"Bye!" chirped Mason taking off in the mo-pad.
"That was weird." mumbled Emily to herself.
Mason pulled over to where Max and Apollo were.
"Hey get on!" said Mason pointing on the seat. They willingly got on and Mason flew off.
"We can't find them anywhere!" moaned Odd. They all came back together and now were sitting on the bench where they got hot dogs in disappointment.
"Aww man...we still have to keep looking though!" said Aelita committed to the cause.
"In a few minutes...I need a break!" huffed Yumi plopping down on the bench.
"Excuse me kids but are these your two friends?" laughed Mason pointing to Max and Apollo.
"Boy Mason aren't we glad to see you!" smiled Aelita.
"They were over by the highway I was coming back and they J-walked right in front of me!" explained Mason.
"Thanks!" sighed Odd.
"Be right back!" replied Mason driving away.
He returned the mo-pad to the renting company then walked over to where the others were.
"So how was your day?" asked Mason.
"You don't want to know!" replied the others.
