Allie Note- Wow! It's been LOOOOOOOONG time, and, you'll be happy to hear I also have already started working on chapter twelve as well, though I actually had to re-read the entire story. Gosh, did I have some bad grammar then, or at least needed to learn to reread all the chapters! Oh and before I forget, thanks and congrads to The Grouch2232 I just loved your character, Ryan "Clay" Warnich. I hope I can catch his personality just right!

Another thing just before we start, as I continue to write the story I am also going to edit the original chapters and re-post them in another story, which I'm not sure if I will name differently or not. The edited version will be fairly similar but there key points that will be changed, a few names, new characters, the plot line is a little changed just the slight bit, it won't be so rushed, I have come across a few plot holes that will be removed, plus the chapters will be longer with much more information.

Last Chapter-

Yumi stood inside the lab, looking at the super computer while Ulrich sat in the chair. Sonya stared around in awe, holding Odd's hands tight. "Oh my god. Does that mean what I think it means?" Yumi shouted in Ulrich ears, who seemed unfazed by the shout. "I think so. Someone's been one here in the last twenty four hours and Odd go check the main control room."

Odd nodded. Telling Sonya to stay put and he'd be right back. Everyone in the room was quiet for about three minuets until odd came in the room again. "Xana's Awake…Again."

Chapter Eleven

Finally

Everyone stared at him, silence fill the room. Sonya looked from Odd, to Yumi, to Ulrich and back to Odd again. "What?" She screamed, confused. Odd's eyes saddened. "We have some explaining to do…"

It had been a few hours since then. Odd and Sonya were still in the factory, he had tried his best to explain everything to Sonya but she seemed to still be in shock. "Maybe I should go give Sydney a call, I'm sure she won't mind watching Jason for a few days." She whispered, obviously pretending she hadn't heard the long explanation Odd has just given her. Odd took hold of her face and smiled. "It's going to be okay. I don't know when, but it will." Sonya looked down. "I just don't get it. Lyoko, Xana, everything." She whispered. "You will. We just need to stay close by for a little while, figure out how we can shut him down this time, and then we can go home. Jason loves his Aunt Sydney, and this way, we can be here for Parents day in a couple of days." Sonya smiled. "Alright, I'd like meet all of Karla's friends."

School had ended for today and Ulrich was pulling soccer balls out of a bag for tryouts. Yumi sat on the bleachers beside him. "How do you think Sonya's going to take it?" She asked. Ulrich pulled out another ball, turned and looked at her, ball tucked under his arm. "Well, my best bet is, not so good." Yumi forced back a laugh and for a second Ulrich smiled back. "But seriously, I can guess she a bit freaked out. Her husband is telling her he and his friends fought a digital monster when they were younger and now its back and her daughter's in trouble." Yumi's smile vanished, "Michael's in trouble too." Ulrich nodded. "I know, and we can't do anything because Jeremie isn't here."

"Don't worry about it Michael, I want to watch." Alena walked beside him on his way to tryouts. Even though his Coach was his dad, and he practically was already on the team, he still had to tryout every year. Michael's cheeks brightened a bit. "Besides, I need something to get my…problems, off my mind." She smiled at him, seeing his blush she blushed back. "I know, and we can't do anything because Jeremie isn't here."Michael came up behind his dad and Alena pretended not to hear his conversation, but silently made a mental note to ask them about it later, when the timing was better. "Hi Alena." Yumi smiled at them. "Michael are you ready for tryouts." Other boys had begun to gather around. Alena smiled at Michael. "Good luck." She said and went and sat beside Yumi in the stands. Soon there were sixteen boys and three girls lined up for tryouts.

Aelita sat at the table in the Hermitage, Jeremie stood on the other side of the kitchen, there had been a long pause, not one word had been spoken since they got there." I don't understand Aelita." He finally said, breaking the long silence. "Alena, Daniel? Why didn't you tell me I, we had children." He paused for moment but not long enough for her to answer. "They are mine, right?" Aelita nodded. "Of course they are, but you didn't want a family, remember?" Jeremie looked at her; his expression changed from one of anger to one of sadness. "I'm sorry Aelita." He whispered.

While all the teachers were getting ready for the god forsaken day called "parent's day" Sparks took the opportunity to take Snow Cone out of the room and get some exercise. She sat on a bench in the courtyard, throwing the ball for the little black dog. Snow Cone barked happily and ran behind the bench. Sparks turned around cautiously; looking to see whom the dog had run to. There stood Sonya and Odd, laughing, with Snow Cone in his arms licking him. "Mom? Dad? What are you doing here? Didn't you just drop me off?" Odd laughed. "Hello to you too. We're here for parent's day." He explained, as if that was the only thing going on. "Sorry it's just, parent's day isn't for a couple of days and you guys weren't even going to come to begin with." "Well." Sonya started. "An old friend of your dad's called and asked for a visit, so we left your little brother with Aunt Sydney and while we were here, decided why not come by for parent's also." Sparks eyed her parents suspiciously but decided to let it go.

As tryouts ended, Ulrich announced that the new team list would be up on the wall by the gym by after school tomorrow. Yumi walked over to Ulrich as Michael walked over to Alena. "You did a great job, Michael." She said as she hugged him. Michael blushed. "You made it for sure." Ulrich put his arm around Yumi's waist as they both watched the two for a moment. "Funny, it's like looking back in time almost." He joked and Yumi laughed. "Sort of." She said and looked at him. "If I had bright pink hair and was that perky." Ulrich smirked and kissed her, just in time for Michael and Alena to turn around. "Mom! Dad!" They heard him complain, his face turning red again from embarrassment. "Do that somewhere else." Ulrich laughed. "Sorry, but it's our job to embarrass you." Michael just mumbled something incoherent, took Alena's hand, and walked her away towards the forest. "Sorry about my parents." He said when they got a little bit away, but could still see the school. "They're embarrassing sometimes." Alena smiled. "It's okay, Michael." Both were quiet for a bit before suddenly hearing a loud noise. They both turned in the direction to see the roof of a house. Looking at each other, they seemed to be thinking the same thing and hurriedly ran to the house. Alena could see Jeremie walked out, quite angry and her mom right behind him, also angry. Alena and Michael stood in the pathway to the door and Aelita and Jeremie's anger disappeared as soon as they saw them. "Alena?" Michael asked as he saw her stare. "What's wrong?" Alena didn't answer. "Mom?" Jeremie and Michael looked to Aelita. "How about we all go back inside?" Aelita asked.

Sparks decided to show her parents her friends first. She headed over to the soccer field, Odd and Sonya in tow, thinking maybe Michael was still there from tryouts But when she got to the soccer field she only found the couch and his wife talking. "Oh well he's not here." She said and turned around but her dad waved. "Hey Ulrich." Ulrich looked up from Yumi to see Odd, Sonya and a little girl. "Hey Odd." He looked to the little teenage girl. "Is this Karla?" He asked. Karla furrowed up her brows curiously and crossed her arms. "My name is Sparks." She said. Ulrich laughed. "Yup." Odd answered happily. "She was going to introduce us to some of her friends but I guess we can introduce her to some of our friends too." Karla, or Sparks, looked at them all confused. "Karla, this is Ulrich and Yumi stern, they were some of my good friends when I went here." Karla raised an eyebrow. "Stern?" She looked to Ulrich. "So are you Michael's dad?" Ulrich nodded, laughing slightly. "So where is he?" She asked. "He got embarrassed by us and took Alena off in that direction." Yumi said, pointing towards the woods. Sparks pretending to slap her hand down her face. "If I find them and they're making out, Abbey owes me twenty bucks." She mumbled to herself, stomping off towards the woods. Ulrich, Yumi, Sonya and Odd followed behind her.

Abbey sat on the edge of a small wall outside the school; one of her legs swung as it was draped over the side. A boy was sitting against it, his guitar in his hands, concentrating more on it than Abbey's conversation. He struck a cord and Abbey sat up. "Clay, are you listening to me?" The boy looked up at her. "Sure…whatever you say Abbey. Michael loves you but he doesn't know it yet." Abbey glared at him. "Isn't that what all your conversations add up to?" He asked, a playful smirk on his face. Her face flushed and she crossed her arms, turning away to hide it. "No, I was talking about Alena. Gosh, that girl is just so dramatic about everything one moment and then the next she's miss happy sunshine girl." Clay rolled his eyes. "I don't trust her, she's too sketchy." "And, how long have you known her?" Clay asked. Abbey looked at him, her face blank. "Well I didn't meet her until Karla introduced us so three days, tops?" Clay nodded his head slowly. "So this has nothing to do with the fact that Michael seemed to have a big crush on her."

Danny sat between the shelves in the government section of the school library. He had a book or two stacked up beside him, one of them open, and his computer in his lap. "Excuse me-ah!" Danny looked up in front of him and suddenly there was a girl on the ground and papers flying everywhere. " Ouch." She sat up rubbing her head. "Sorry." Danny stood up, shaking his head. "No, it was my fault." He leaned over and started helping pick up all the papers she had dropped. The girl stood back up as well, pushing her long brown hair out of her eyes. Danny smiled at her for a moment, and then realizing he was staring handed her, her papers. "Thank you, um, sorry I didn't catch your name." "Um…Daniel." The girl took her papers and smiled. "Well thank you Daniel. I'm Leah."

Aelita, Jeremie Alena and Michael sat at the table in the kitchen of the Hermitage. They had been staring at each other for a little while now. "I don't understand." Alena finally said. Michael, Aelita, and Jeremie all looked at her. "Are you going to tell me, us, anything?" Alena looked down from the corner of her eyes. It was quiet again. "Why didn't-" Alena didn't get to finish her question; there was a sudden noise outside the house. They all walked outside the door to find Karla with Ulrich, Yumi, Odd and Sonya behind her. Aelita and Jeremie forced a smile. "Hello guys!" Aelita said cheerfully. Jeremie gave a small wave. "It's been a while." "There you are Michael!" Karla screamed, ignoring the obvious awkward feeling in the air. "And you're with Alena, no surprise!" Jeremie finally took a good look at him as Michael mumbled something along the lines of "shut up Karla."

"Hey Jer," Ulrich walked up to him. "Where have you been?" Jeremie shrugged. "Around…. America." Aelita looked between them at the casual exchange. "You know each other?" She asked. "Yea." Odd piped in. "Michael's dad and mom, your mom and dad and I used to be good friends back when we were your age." Alena stared at him. "You know who my dad is?" Odd looked up at Jeremie and Aelita in shock. "You're not the dad?" "Maybe we should discuss this later?" Aelita offered but Alena objected. "No, you've been putting it off too long already. Just tell me," She turned to her mother. "Please mom?" Aelita nodded. "Alright since I have no choice," She took Jeremie by the shoulder. "Jeremie meet your daughter, Alena."
