Hey, it's been a while since I updated this too I know...really sorry for those who follow me and the have to wait for a long time.

I don't own Code Lyoko, though, as I've said before, I own most things in this story since it's soo far in the future.

I woke up at 6 am just as I had for the past few days and got to the girl's bathroom. But something was different, there weren't any girls, anywhere. I checked a nearby clock, 6:10, there were usually about a dozen girls waiting in line to get a shower by now, but today it was absolutely deserted. Now being raised on Lyoko, I was wary of such irregularities, but this was Earth...I would give them a while.

I sat there waiting for another 20 minutes but still, nobody was there. I decided to go see Michael, something strange was going on and he would probably have the answer. I made my way up to his room and knocked on the door, no answer. I slowly opened the door and walked into his room, Michael was asleep in his bed which was a complete wreck from tossing and turning.

"Michael?" He didn't answer, just rolled over and snored a little. I sat down next to him and gently shook him. "Michael, something strange is going on." He finally woke up a little.

"A-alana, what are you doing up?" He asked groggily

"It's 6:30 and there's no one at the bathroom."

"Ugh...Alana, it's Saturday, go back to bed."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's the weekend, no school today, you can sleep in..."

"No...school...?" Why would we not have school today? I had gone every day since I came to Kadic, what made today special?

"Yes, now go back into your room and sleep for another..." He glanced at his radio alarm clock. "3 hours...ugh..."

"Um...okay." and with that I went up to my room and climbed into bed.

3 hours, what was I supposed to do for three whole hours! Michael said to get some more sleep, but though I did very much enjoy sleep I didn't think I could fall asleep after I got going...

Suddenly the room was filled with sunlight and I could hear birds outside, Michael was standing in the doorway.

"Someone was tired...morning sleepy head." he said in a joking tone, that grin on his face.

"Wh-what time is it..." I looked at my bedside clock. "10:00, OH! I'm so sorry Michael, I overslept, you wanted to meet me at 9:30, I am really sorry..."

"It's okay, Alana, it's the weekend, it's okay to oversleep, let's go down to breakfast."

We made our way to the cafeteria and ate pancakes with maple syrup, a very yummy meal, not that any meal wasn't good, taste was so interesting! Kids were still swarming around me about how I "beat up the biggest jerk in school" and how unfair it was that I had gotten detention on my first day. To be honest I didn't get it myself, they said Biff was a big jerk guy, but when I stood up to him, knocked him down a notch, I got in trouble for it. Confusing place, Kadic.

"Watcha thinkin bout?" Michael asked.

"Oh, just that I don't get why I got into trouble for standing up to that guy. I mean he was bothering you, and I didn't even hurt him."

"Yeah, school's strange, Lyoko sounds so much simpler."

"You'd think so, but...it really wasn't simpler, just different, it had different rules...Hey, I can show you where the Factory used to be! If there aren't any classes."

"I would love to see the Factory, but today I thought I'd show you a little piece of Earth today, we're going to the beach."

"The beach?"

"...You'll see. Now come on, finish up those pancakes, my brother will be coming to pick us up in 15 minutes."

"You have a brother?"

"Yup, he's 25 and moves around a lot. But he has a job around here this weekend so he agreed to take his lil bro to the beach, now come on, eat."

I did and we went out to the gates of Kadic to wait for Michael's brother. He came in something on wheels (she walked to Kadic).

"What is it?" I asked curiously

"A convertible, a car with no roof."

"...And a car is...?"

"A, uh, car is...hm...it's like a vehicle-"

"Oh, a vehicle! Like the Overbike or something? It certainly doesn't look like any vehicle I've seen, but if you say so..."

"Well, it isn't like a Lyoko vehicle, it's...safer, as I understand it."

"There's absolutely nothing unsafe about any vehicle, it's how it's ridden that makes it unsafe." the conversation had to end then because his brother pulled up beside us.

"Hop in Michael, oh, and who is this pretty little lady?"

"I told you before, this is Alana, the hospital patient with amnesia."

Is that what Michael thought of me? Some hospital person with amnesia?

"Well hey there Alana, I'm Rick, hop in the back." I just looked at him, confused. Then Michael opened a door in the side of the vehicle and gestured for me to get in, so I did.

"We need to make a stop at a beach shop first, she needs a new bikini or something."

"Can do lil bro." he then pulled on a lever, stepped on a mechanism of some sort, and put the vehicle in motion.

Michael was right, this was definitely no Lyoko vehicle, it was bigger and slower, all together more clumsy. And periodically Rick completely stopped the car, as it was apparently called, to let others pass. They were all cars though, looking relatively similar to one another, didn't they get tired of there only being cars? Okay, there were a few things that looked like Overbikes but with two wheels but still.

After about a half hour the car turned into a plot of land in front of a smallish building, this had to be the "beach shop" Michael was talking about earlier. We all got out of the car and walked into the building, inside were some garments that were MUCH smaller than that one would wear in Lyoko. Michael took me over to a particular rack.

"Look around, pick one you like, Rick'll pay for it, he's cool like that."

"Um...okay..." I started looking, it seemed all they had were those tiny little things...When on Earth..I picked out one that was blue like the sky and gave it to Rick so he could pay for it and we went back into the car. A minute later Rick came out of the store with a bag that contained my new "bikini", some food, and other things.

"Alright, let's go!" and we sped away.

10 or so minutes later we arrived in front of a stretch of sand that looked much like the Desert Sector, not that I had gone there that often, but I knew what it looked like. Then I saw what was beyond that...

"Wh-what is that?"

"The sea of course! Come on." He tried to take me over there but I wouldn't move, no way I was going anywhere close to that thing!

"WHY do you want to get rid of me?"

"Wait..WHAT, get rid of you? What are you talking about, Alana?"

"You brought me to the Sea, the Digital Sea, you could've only done that for one reason, you want to be rid of me forever! What, just because I'm not human I can't be part of this world? I have to be deleted..." I burst into tears, I thought Michael was my friend, but then this!

"WHAT? DIGITAL SEA? I-I don't want to get rid of you, you're my friend, Alana! Why would you think something like that?"

I continued to sob, I knew that what he was saying was perfectly logical but I just couldn't stop the flow of tears all I managed to blubber was "...I...know..."

"Listen, we don't have to go into the ocean if you don't want to, but there's no harm, not like the Digital Sea on Lyoko, it's fun. But...um...you said there was a Desert Sector, what did people do there?"

"Mostly they lie around and enjoy the heat..."

"Well we can do that!"

We changed into our bathing suits and lay down on the beach, soaking up it's rays

"Ya know something, Michael?" I asked

"What?"

"I like it here."

"Yeah, the beach is pretty nice."

"Well, yes, but I meant Earth as a whole. When I left Lyoko I thought life as I knew it was over, that I would completely lose my identity. But being here, it's not what I expected. There are so many things I would have never gotten to do, like sleeping, and I would have never gotten to meet you, Michael. I miss my family and friends terribly but I think I'll survive...There are so many things I've gotten to see, like the sky, it's such a pretty blue, and the clouds..."

"You've never seen clouds?"

"Not until I came here, no, and I came from the Forest, where the sky was yellow, it was pretty in it's own way, but this light blue is so much better."

"Well I'm glad you like it!"

We both grinned, without Michael this wouldn't have been possible, I would still be on the ground with a broken leg, probably left to die...I just hoped he knew how much I appreciated what he had done for me.

Hope ya loved it! What should I focus on next? What do you absolutely have to see updated? Also, Katty Griffin, want it to continue? REVIEW!
