Hey guys! I know another 2 months for an update… But chapter 14 is here so get to it!

"Hold up what do you mean gets back?" Jeremy said in confusion, "He just went around the corner."

"Actually he went to some place near or far from here, at any time," Jade replied.

"Huh? Stop being so cryptic! Just tell us!" Yumi yelled in frustration.
Suddenly, Jack ran back from where he went only 5 minutes ago. He quickly said hello to the group but he was out of breath, it appeared he had done a lot of running.

"Out of breath already? Dang you need to work out more," Ulrich said.

"It's not what you think genius! I've been running for miles away from killer robots wanting to take over Constantinople!" he shouted back in frustration.

They all laughed at him while he stood there pouting over their disbelief. Though he dismissed it like he knew this was going to happen. However, Jade stood there waiting for an explanation.

"You really want an explanation Jade?" Jack asked while Jade shook her head 'yes'. "Oh alright I guess you deserve one since you know the most."

He went up to her and planted a big kiss on her. Everyone stood dumbfounded, especially Odd. The kiss seemed one of passion and when they stopped Ulrich had silently timed it at 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Odd then proceed to go over and punch Jack in the gut and he hobbled over in pain. Then, Jade grabbed Odd and kissed him for the exact amount of time. When it was over everyone was confused but went back to the first question. Why are you here?

"I told you my dad wanted Lyoko gone! But I think XANA was behind that. Now I just want to be here with the best boyfriend in the world!" (To clarify, they have been dating for a week, almost since Jade's arrival).

They then asked Odd what she had told him but to no avail they received the response, "She's here to study aboard for me! Besides nothing was up and I know Jack would never kiss her ever! But I'm sorry if I punched him, he must have deserved it." He said with and evil smirk.

Finally it came down to Jack who had yet to explain his actions. He only gave a vague reply which they thought had more to it, "Yes, I did kiss Jade for a reason. But only to save myself and a certain individual's information from being leaked, which was successfully done. Now if you excuse me, I need to go finish some work."

Odd, Jade, and Jack all left in good moods but Yumi, Aelita, Ulrich, and Jeremy still had unanswered questions.

"Well the kiss clearly made Jade forget why she is here," Yumi said.
"Then when she kissed Odd he forgot too," Ulrich chimed in.

"What about that noise Jack went to check out? It took him 5 minutes but it felt strangely like 500 years," Aelita added to the conversation.
"Also what about that thing with the killer robots in Constantinople? I don't think you can make these things up." Jeremy added, "I'll do some research."

"But for now we can be thankful things are slightly quiet," Aelita said.
"For now princess, for now," Ulrich said.

They all laughed and knew XANA had plans for his "world domination" in store for them tomorrow. They all went towards the cafeteria for dinner.

Meanwhile, across the street at a café a business man was enjoying a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper. He actually was a spector for XANA and was able to pick up on the conversation. XANA was intrigued at the fact that robots could exist. He thought of the perfect plan which he could take the world for himself.

And like that the man vanished…
