"Hello?" Jeremy yawned.

Naomi snickered.

"This is hardly the time to tell me a joke Naomi."

"I got ya one funnier. Copen just lost all a his electronic usage permissions for a week! No armor, no gun, no spacecraft, no reasarch, no coms, no Lola and therefore no missions!" Naomi cackled.

"How is that funny?"

"If ya had a siblin ya'd understand."

Jeremy abruptly ended the call.

"Well he doesn't have a sense of humor. Hopefully Odd will get the joke." Naomi smirked as she dialed Odd's extension.

Lucikily he was up playing a video game. Ulrich growled as he placed his pillow over his head to protect his ears from the break away instrumental ringtone.

"Odd if you don't break away from that ringtone either one of two things is going to happen. One, you're going to break someone's ears. Or two, I'm going to break your neck." Ulrich threatened.

"Sh, it's Naomi. Hello?" Odd spoke as he held up his index finger, signaling for Ulrich to be quiet.

"I got the best joke ever for ya." Naomi grinned.

"Oh come on! You just made me miss the bonus opportunity! Now I've gotta start all over."

"Wow Odd, I didn't know you had that in you. Let me guess, using big words to try and impress her?" Ulrich teased.

Odd stuck his tongue out at Ulrich in protest.

"So, what's the joke?" Odd wondered.

"Copen just got revoked a his electronic privs for a week! I'm tellin ya man, he won't last a day!" Naomi joked.

"Wait wait wait, can you slow it down a bit?" You're, telling me, that Copen, lost his ability to use elctronics, for an entire week? That's bad Naomi! We might need his help on missions if you're busy with work!"

'I'm never too busy for ya'll. Unless it's life or death, then it may take a bit. But otherwise, I'm genuinely hurt you think Lyoko an ya'll aren't worth ma time."

"So, what's the joke?"

"Copen gettin grounded WAS the joke."

"Well then you need to get some new material. Also Ulrich's mad because you woke him up."

"Can ya put the phone on speaker?"

Odd placed the phone on speaker.

"So, what I was jus tellin Odd the overdramtic was Copen's grounded from electronics for a week."

"Hey! I'm not overdramatic!"

"Right, coming from someone who'll die if they don't eat nine meals five times a day." Ulrich teased.

Naomi and Ulrich laughed while Odd ranted in the corner.

"At least this isn't coming from someone who's already dead." Odd remarked.

"Yeah, I don't know whether or not to feel bad for those Sumeragi scientists Elise killed. On one hand they were askin for it an kinda deserved it. But on the other, a quick an painless death woulda been better rather than the sufferin they went through." Naomi rambled.

"Elise has the Rebirth Septima right? Odd wondered.

"Yeah, that's prolly how she revived the Sumeragi." Naomi noted.

"But you have that Septima now. Since that Bullit shot you and you're still here but dead. So, did you subconsciously revive them?" Odd queried.

"How can you think something like that Odd!? Naomi would never revive them!" Ulrich fumed.

"Well I heard the Sumeragi had ressurection tech but-how the heck do ya know bout me gettin Elise's Septima!? Oh ma gosh, if Elise is still 'round an I didn't revive the Sumeragi, uh oh. Then that means I HAD REBIRTH SEPTIMA THIS ENTIRE TIME!?" Naomi exclaimed.

"Seems like it from where I'm standing." Odd commented with a mouthful of chips.

"Odd this is serious! Also you're sitting down and this is no time to be eating!" Ulrich ranted.

"I'll call ya'll later soon as I'm done with this identity crisis I'm havin." Naomi squeaked as she ended the call.

In a panicked state of mind, Naomi called Asimov.

"Did anyone look inta me possibly havin Rebirth Septima?" Naomi panicked.

"Not at all, there wasn't any reason to. Is there now?" Asimov answered.

"Ya'd swear the Muse revived me if it weren't for the fact that I ain't got a pulse."

"It would be best to get tested for it then."

"Aight, thanks boss. Just wanted to make sure." Naomi thanked as she ended the call.

Naomi spent the rest of the day in solemn contemplation. The following morning, Naomi was too tired to have any emotion. Until she had a chocolate chip waffle with chocolate milk.

"I could eat this every day fo the rest of ma life an never get tired a it." Naomi smiled as she ate some of her waffle.

"Is the best." Mytyl agreed with a mouthful of hers.

With the extra butter Naomi put and the extra syrup Mytyl had it was hard to tell there was any chocolate.

"Ya know what would be an epic idea for the next time we drink milk?" Naomi theorized.

"Milk flavoring straws?" Mytyl guessed.

"I've got a flavor idea nobody else ever thought a. We take some strawberry and chocolate syrup then mix em together ta make chocolate covered strawberry flavored milk."

"That sounds so cool!"

"You guys totally left me out of the convo again!" Lola pouted.

"Ma b Lols. So, whadda ya wanna talk bout?" Naomi apologized.

"Mytyl, do you wanna see the greatest movie of all time?" Lola added.

"What's it about?" Mytyl queried.

"You'll see."

So, Naomi, Mytyl and Lola watched the movie.

"That was so cool!" Mytyl cheered.

"I know right!?" Lola agreed.

"Did you like the movie sis?" Mytyl asked.

"Nah, I'm not a movie type honestly." Naomi denied.

"Then why did you watch the movie with us?" Mytyl wondered.

"Cause ya'll like that stuff." Naomi responded.

"I'm going let Copen borrow some comics, thanks for the movie Lola." Mytyl smiled before leaving the room.

"Why don't ya go read comics with em?" Naomi queried.

"You're lonely aren't you?" Lola noticed.

"What makes ya think that?"

"You're always by yourself. You don't talk to me or Mytyl and you certainly never talk to Copen."

"Cause I'm either workin or hangin with ma pals."

"You have friends!? There's no way!"

"Ya know those people in France an at work? I'm cool with all a them."

"Woah! You have more friends than I thought!"

"See, you're never too busy ta have friends."

"If it's cool with you then can I go read comics?"

"Yeah, I was hopin ya would. Mytyl's lonely without ya anyways."

"Thanks." Lola thanked before zooming off to join Copen and Mytyl.

Happy to finally be alone, Naomi decided to read a book. Twenty five pages in, Naomi received a call. She growled while putting the book down to grab her phone.

"Jeremy, if you know how deep I was inta the book I just put down, ya'd hang up the phone righ now." Naomi growled.

"We're going to take down the Sumeragi soldiers if you want to join us." Jeremy informed.

"I got all the turrets, I'll weld em on when we're done." Naomi stated.

She ended the call and teleported herself to the factory. After everyone was virtualized they went to fight the soldiers in the big machine room. When the soldiers were eliminated, Naomi began welding the turrets into place.

"Are you sure you don't need any help up there Naomi?" Odd wondered.

"It's aight. Least Copen got me the turrets 'fore he got grounded." Naomi guaranteed.

"Be careful Odd! You're not supposed to look directly at welding!" Jeremy shouted.

Naomi stopped welding and floated down with her Gravity Well Septima.

"Ya can but ya need special masks or somethin." Naomi rebuked.

"I assume the back talk means you're done." Jeremy supposed.

"Yup, got time ta talk back go time ta do anythin else." Naomi teased.

"Naomi, would you like to spend the night at my house? I know it might be a little too late to go to yours." Aelita offered.

Naomi had to bite her lower lip to prevent from smiling or squealing.

"Are you okay Naomi?" Jeremy worried.

"You look like Aelita just asked you if you wanted to drink arsenic." Yumi commented.

"Aelita's just so frickin cute! How could you say no to 'er? Ya know ta be honest Pinkie I thought bout tradin Mytyl for ya once or twice." Naomi rambled excitedly.

"Looks like you might have some competition Einstein." Odd joked.

"She doesn't think of Aelita the way I do Odd. She thinks of her like a younger sister not a girlfriend." Jeremy refuted.

"You geniuses can't seem to take a joke."

Jeremy just rolled his eyes.

"I brought you a snack Naomi." Odd notified.

Naomi looked and saw Odd was holding a chocolate filled crossaint and a can of Pibb Xtra. Naomi's eyes went wide at the soda.

"Ya sure? I don't wanna take from ya." Naomi douted.

Odd nodded. Naomi smiled as she accepted the snack.

"So, why did Copen get grounded anyways?" Jeremy wondered.

"The jerk hacked ma stuff. Said the info I had on the Sumeragi might help 'im." Naomi snarled as she took a bite of the crossaint.

"Why do you two not talk to each other?" Yumi queried.

"Cause I'm an Adept an he's human. Einstein might be able ta tell ya'll the rest." Naomi sighed.

"M-me? Why me?"

"Ya knew ma name first time we met after that cheap wig fell off. Ya gotta know more than what ya told me that day."

"You're talking about the S-FIT incident right?"

"Yeah whadda ya know bout it?"

"A decade ago, the Sumeragi's Future Institute of Technology building exploded from unknown circumstances. One of their lead scientists was lost. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. You're not, no. There's no way." Jeremy rambled.

"So that info you sent me, it's her?" Odd asked.

"Seems like it."

"Lemme guess, ya'll are wonderin if I got any connection ta the top scientist at S-FIT the day it went down?" Naomi noticed.

"How did you-"

"Ya'll aughta know who I am. Ya knew ma last name."

"And didn't your dad work here for a bit as a substitute teacher?" Aelita remembered.

"Yeah, he's thinkin bout bein a surgeon at a hospital in Tokyo. He's just worried the Sumeragi's gonna find 'im and make 'im work for 'em 'gain." Naomi explained.

"I'm glad he's deciding to try another line of work. But why a surgeon and not anything else?"

"He's one a the only scientists Sumeragi had that knew how ta extract Septimosome from Adepts."

"Septimosome? What's that? Sounds like some kung fu move." Odd remarked.

Naomi shook her head.

"Septimosome is in an Adepts blood and allows them to use and manipulate their Septima at will. From what Nori told me when I was a baby I used static electricity on Mytyl's hair to be funny. Our mom didn't think so when she was brushing Mytyl's hair again. She always gave me that serious look but I knew she couldn't be mad." Naomi elucidated before giggling.

"So that's why you avoided the blood test. So the Sumeragi wouldn't put your Septimosome in a Glaive right?" Yumi noted.

"Not just that, if they figured out who had it, it'd be a one way ticket ta bein a mass murder muse again."

"When does your dad start his surgeon job?" Ulrich wondered.

"Tomorrow. Someone saw his resume and was impressed. He used the one before he joined S-FIT so nobody would know who he was." Naomi answered.

"Speaking of tomorrow, we should get some sleep tonight. You may have to sleep on the couch." Aelita added.

"Thanks for the snacks Odd, I'll see ya'll tomorra."
