The Dance

Cht 1: The Problem

By Dragon C. Chan

This is the prequel to my story called Code: The End. Its set a few weeks before Code: the end starts and I hope this can answer the questions you have.

Note: The only thing you need to know from Code: The End for this story is that Odd's nickname is Kitty boy.

Pairings: Ulrich x Yumi, Jeremie x Aelita, slight Odd x Aelita

And don't forget your daily dosage of kitty boy!

I drew her again today. I've got to stop drawing her so much. God… I'm turning into a stalker! Aelita is Jeremie's girlfriend and that's that! Yet it's so hard to accept. She's so sweet, nice, smart, Oh! I'm doing it again! (The writer growled) I'm just a friend,

"Odd!"

"Huh?" Odd looked up from his diary to see Ulrich at the door.

"So the rumors are true you do keep a diary." Ulrich's eyes wandered to the pages of the purple diary, but then Odd snatched the diary up and hissed at Ulrich, "Calm down kitty boy I didn't see anything! Besides it's dinner time!"

"Ok I'm coming, after I hide my diary"

"Oi!" Ulrich shook his head, "I'm save you a seat." He left to go eat.

Odd opened his diary and continued…

I'm just a friend, and that's all I'll ever be.

With Jeremie

He was so excited. Tomorrow was Sunday, the day he'd been planning for a while. First he and Aelita were going to hit all the museums in town and then they were going to dance the night away at the spring fling dance. He was so happy! Nothing could get him down!

Bring!

"My cell phone!" Jeremie answered it, "Hello?"

"Hello Jeremie! It's your mother! Guess what, your Aunt Dorothy is coming tomorrow and were going sightseeing with her!"

"Wha! But Mom, I'm going in to town with Aelita and then were going to the dance at seven tomorrow!"

"Oh… Well we can't cancel the sightseeing because your Aunt will only be in town tomorrow, but I believe we can get you back in enough time for the dance. I'm sorry but you will have to cancel you plans with Aelita, is that ok?"

Jeremie sighed in disappointment, "Oh… Ah… Yeah that's fine."

"Ok then! See you tomorrow, at 8:00 Am."

"Bye." The phone went dead and Jeremie sighed, got up, and went to dinner to tell Aelita the horrible news.

At dinner

The gang was eating peacefully, well as peacefully as it can get with Odd scarfing down his huge plate of food.

"One day I'm gonna find out where you put it all." Said Aelita watching Odd eat, and Odd just grinned and continued to eat. Then Aelita noticed Ulrich was sulking, "Is something wrong Ulrich?"

"Oh! Ah! Nothing!" Ulrich's face turned a hint of red.

Odd swallowed his food, "He's just going though his daily, I won't see Yumi till tomorrow depression!"

"Odd!" Ulrich blushed.

Odd tired to look innocent and then continued to eat, while Aelita and Jeremie both tired to stifle their laughter.

"Oh Ulrich dear!" Ulrich's expression turned from embarrassment to an aww naw expression.

Odd then put one finger up to signal for Sissy to wait a minute, chewed, swallowed, sipped his drink and, then proceeded to hiss at Sissy.

"Mangy Cat!" Odd smirked and Sissy growled then turned to Ulrich, "Ulrich dear, were they making fun or you? You should sit with your real friends." She gestured to Nicholas and Herve.

Ulrich irritated said, "Sissy I am sitting with my real friends and…" Ulrich was hit by an idea and he smirked at Odd.

Odd looked at Ulrich, "Huh?" he blinked, "WAIT! You wouldn't!" Ulrich continued to smirk, "No way that's meaner than me! That's meaner than Sissy!"

"The rumors are true, Odd keeps a diary."

Sissy gasped

"Noooo! Damn you! Now everyone will know! Grr! I hate you!" Odd glared at Ulrich

Sissy scoffed, "I bet it's a fluffy pink princess diary with ponies and unicorns on it."

"Actually its fluffy purple with pink pages, and one you'll never find it, two even if by some miracle you do you'll never get it open."

"Go Odd!" said Aelita.

"Whatever." Sissy left in a huff.

"Well I'm done." Said Aelita getting up.

Jeremie got up too, "I'm done too. I'll walk you back."

"Ok." Aelita blushed and they left.

Odd watched them leave, "Ah! Young love!" Then he continued to stuff his face.

Ulrich just shook his head and continued to eat.

With Jeremie and Aelita

"Thank you for walking me to my room." Said Aelita turning to Jeremie, "I can't wait for tomorrow."

"Yeah about tomorrow, Aelita I need to tell you something…"

4 Desserts Later

Odd heading out the door, "Ulrich I'm headed for the shower!"

"Ok, I'll be along in a minute."

Odd grinned, "You won't find it."

"Shut up."

Odd just smirked and left. He walked down the hall, past Jeremie's room, and then he passed Aelita's room and stopped dead. He heard crying coming from her room!

Odd opened the door, "Aelita?" He found her sitting on her bed crying, "What's wrong? Was it Sissy? That Sissy!" Odd made a fist.

"No." Aelita sniffled, "It wasn't her. Jeremie's Aunt came to town and he can't take me into town tomorrow." She teared up again.

"Oh." Odd put his hand on her shoulder in support of her, but to his surprise she threw her arms around him and cried on his chest. Odd in a shock blushed then was hit by a thought, "Aelita I have an idea." Aelita looked at Odd with tears in her eyes and it nearly killed him.

"Umm… Ahh…" Odd's voice shook some, "I can take you into town this weekend and Jeremie can take you next weekend."

Aelita's eyes widened, "You'd miss your Sunday sleep in just to take me into town?"

"Well…Yeah. Now let me see you smile!" Aelita cracked a smile, "There you go! Now see you at seven tomorrow!" Odd left to go shower.

"Bye."

In the hall way

Odd practically skipped down the hall. It was just going to be him and Aelita. He may not ever be her boyfriend, but he still could treasure their time tomorrow.

The next day

Jeremie was apologizing once more, "Aelita I'm so sorry."

Aelita sipped her drink, "It's ok Jeremie, and I understand you need to spend time with your family."

Jeremie stared Aelita straight in the eye, "Aelita I just want you to know that if I could I'd be with you all day."

"Thank you, you're so kind to me."

Jeemie blushed, "Oh gosh. You don't need to thank me, I love being with you." With that Aelita began to blush also. Then Aelita caught a glimpse of the clock, 7:30, where was Odd?

Rosa the lunch lady turned around, "A late co, ODD! You're up before noon on a Sunday!" Jeremie stared in shock and Aelita sighed in relief.

"Yeah, Yeah. I know it's early. Got any coffee?" Odd looked exhausted, his clothes were wrinkled some and, a few parts of his hair didn't completely fit his dew drop shape of a head.

Rosa still in shock, "Of course I have some in the back." She went to the back and emerged with a cup of piping hot coffee to replace the orange juice that you normally got.

"Thanks" Odd went to go and sit by Aelita and Jeremie but then got an idea and smirked.

Aelita and Jeremie looked at Odd confused.

Odd then crouched down looking like he was creeping up on them, and all Crock hunter like said, "Now folks you see here there's two prime examples of the rare breed of animal called the morning person!" Aelita laughed and Jeremie shook his head.

"Wow." Said William who just happened to be sitting near by, "Even though you're probably dead tired you can still joke. In fact I think you'd probably joke even if the world was being taken over be an evil computer." If William hadn't of turned around he would have seen Jeremie, Aelita, and Odd's panicked and shocked glances.

Jeremie shook off the shock and as Odd sat down he finally asked, "Why are you up so early?"

"Oh! Since you can't take Aelita to town today, I'm gonna take her"

"Huh!"

"Ah, don't worry Einstein! I won't take her to any museums, were going to the mall!"

Aelita turned to Jeremie, "We can go to the museums next week."

"Oh. Ok! Well I need to meet my parents now. I should be back in enough time for the dance."

"Ok. Bye!" Said Aelita.

"Bye" Said Odd.

Then Principle Delmas walked up, "Odd. I didn't think I'd se you so early."

"Yes sir?"

"Odd were going to have to cancel the Dance Dance Revolution contest."

"WHAT? WHY!" Said Odd shocked.

"Well the operator fell ill and he can't operate the machine."

"I could fill in for the operator." Said Aelita, "I'm good with electronics."

The principle thought for a moment, "Well alright then, the contest is back on." The Principle left.

Odd jumped up, "YEAH! Aelita I'm gonna pull out all the stops today just to thank you!"

Aelita just smiled and they ate in peace.
