Prologue: A Mysterious New World
Hey guys, I'm doing this story because I'm bored! So I hope I can get this right, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko or any of its characters
Another day, another boring test. Do I really have to put up with this? I would rather go home now and type a few stories, despite the fact I'm not a good writer. Before I forget, my name is Naomi, Naomi Jones. I'm an average American girl with Brown Hair, and Chocolate Brown eyes. I'm thirteen years old, soon to be fourteen.
"Naomi, ground control to Naomi." Said a girl
"Huh? Did you say something McKenna?" I asked
McKenna is a year older than me, but she is in the eighth grade with me, and my best friend. She has strawberry blond hair, and blue-grey eyes. She wears high-tops with the catch-phrases 'And it runs on water, man!' along with, '4 out of 5 doctors think I'm insane.'
"You spaced out again, is something wrong?" asked McKenna
"Mom and Dad have been fighting over my custody rights again. This is the 6th time this month. I just wish they would stop fighting, and that's why I've been falling asleep in my classes lately. At this rate, I might be forced to go to a foster home." I said
"That's not good, but why can't your parents just stop fighting?" asked McKenna
"You know why, once they start, they don't stop until one of them has to go." I said
"Well, good luck with your parents, see you later Naomi." Said McKenna
"I'll see you tomorrow." I said
I got home safe and sound, but of course my mom was there, because it was Friday, and she always works at home on Fridays. She was yelling over the phone with my father for my custody rights. I didn't want to here any of this, so I just went to my room. I couldn't take it anymore! I was leaving; maybe I could walk to my cousin all the way in New Jersey. She lived near Princeton University, so I didn't have to worry about getting there. I packed a few changes of clothes, my Yu-Gi-Oh dueling decks, Bakugan with gate cards and everything, money, of course, some emergency supplies of food, 2 water bottles, my sunglasses, hat, Nintendo DS with charger, and my 3 favorite pairs of shoes. One was my orange sandals for the summer, one was my high-heeled sneakers, and the last one was my pink slip-on shoes with a bow. After dinner, I snuck out of the house, wearing a black t-shirt, a black skirt with stockings, and black knee-high boots. I couldn't help but think that I looked Yumi from Code Lyoko. When I went into the woods near my house, when suddenly the ground began to shake, and a bright flash of light appeared from the middle of nowhere. I soon lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was in the woods, but instead of pine trees, there were maple trees all around me.
"Where am I? In the woods? I know there are woods near my house, but these aren't the same type of trees. Maybe there's someone near by. Huh, what happened to my hair? It's pink, not that I don't like it. I actually do." I said
I walked for a little while, and I found a house in the woods, but what was on the nameplate was what surprised me.
"The Hermitage! But this place doesn't exist in Virginia, unless… no, it's not possible! I can't be in… the Code Lyoko World? But how is this possible!" I exclaimed
"Hey, you!" exclaimed a man
The man was about 6 feet tall, and had more fat than muscle. He had brown hair, and was wearing a headband.
"M-may I help you, sir?" I stammered
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?" asked the man
"I would, if I knew where I was, I don't know where I am." I said
"Well, that is a problem. You look like you've been through a lot. So what's your name?" asked the man
"N-Naomi, Naomi J-Jones." I stammered
"It's nice to meet you Naomi. My name's Jim Morales, but please call me Jim. Hey Naomi, maybe I can help you." Said Jim
"H-how?" I asked
"There's a school not far from here called Kadic Academy. I can help you enroll there until I can find your parents. Until then, we'll say you're my niece from the uh…" started Jim
"United States?" I asked
"Yeah! The good old U.S.A. so is that okay?" asked Jim
"Alright. Thank you so much." I said
"No problem." Said Jim
A few minutes later…
"So let me get my fact's straight, you say that you're Jim's niece from the United States and decided to come here to Kadic Academy to study?" asked the principle
The principle was in his mid 50's at most. He has sandy brown hair, and wears glasses. His name plate said Principle Delmas.
"That's right Principle Delmas! Let me tell you, my little niece was at the top of her class back at her school, she just decided to come here for a change of pace." Said Jim
"Interesting, well, since you're Jim's niece, I can let you enroll here. I should have you schedule by the end of the day. You may pick it up after dinner." Said Mr. Delmas
"Thank you so much Principle Delmas! I'll try my best!" I exclaimed
"Now if only my daughter could have that attitude." Muttered Mr. Delmas
"What did you say?" I asked
The door slammed open
"Daddy! What's going on? My teachers are saying that I've been failing my classes!" exclaimed a girl
The girl had long black hair, and was about 5 foot 9. She was wearing a shirt that exposed her belly button. I didn't think that was even part of the dress code.
"Sissy, you know I can't treat you differently from the other student's. The teachers would think I'm being biased." Said Mr. Delmas
"Well says who! I have a right you know!" exclaimed Sissy
"I don't mean to be the one to butt in but, if you did something called studying; you wouldn't be in this mess." I said
"Who asked you!" exclaimed Sissy
"Sissy! Since you're here, this is our new student, Naomi Jones. Miss Jones came from the United States of America just to study here. Jim, will you take Miss Jones to her dorm room?" asked Mr. Delmas
"Of course! Right this way." Said Jim
I only saw two episodes of Code Lyoko, the episode where X.A.N.A. possesses William Dunbar and the one where Odd and Aelita discover the Hermitage. So I don't know much about the series.
"Boy, that was close." Sighed Jim
"Something about Sissy I should know about?" I asked
"Well, Sissy is the Principle's daughter." Said Jim
"That explains her outburst." I said
"Good point. Anyway, these are the dorms. The boy's dorms are on the second floor, and the girls dorms are on the third floor. Now down this hall, is the dorm room you're staying in. I'll take you shopping this weekend to help you with making your room feel a little more like home. I know that this must be a lot to take in, but while you're here, you're still my niece. Dinner is at 6 o' clock, which is in about 30 minutes, so get settled." Said Jim
"Thanks. You can go now, I'm pretty sure that some boy somewhere on campus is causing trouble." I said
"No problem. Just remember, 9 o' clock is lights out, you need to be up at 7 in the morning, breakfast is at 7:30, lunch is at noon, and you can't be caught in the dorms between 8 and 4 o' clock, got it?" asked Jim
"Got it." I said
"Alright, you can unpack your stuff; call me if you need anything." Said Jim
"Okay!" I exclaimed
The stuff I packed from last night is here. Even my Bakugan and Yu-Gi-Oh decks are all here. I know that it's slim to nothing that someone in this school actually likes Bakugan or has a Duel Monsters deck, but I can't play against myself, it'd be boring. Oh well, I get my outfit ready for tomorrow, at least I don't have to worry about what to wear for too long. Jim said this weekend and I ran away on Friday. Is today Thursday or something? I'll check my watch, yep, it's Thursday. Then that means, tomorrow I have classes. After dinner, I'll head to Mr. Delmas' office to pick up my schedule and a map of the school. There, I'm unpacked. Tomorrow is a new day, and a new chance to start life anew. Naomi Jones, you better get to dinner, it's six o' clock.
"So then I activated the ability Blaze, which increased my Pyrus Stinglash's g-power by 80. And I won the match! I just hope this weekend's Bakugan Tournament will have a better person to challenge me!" exclaimed a boy
The boy had long blond hair and a purple diamond highlight in his hair. I thought he looked familiar from the series, but I wasn't too sure. He was talking to another boy. The other boy had brown hair, and was about the same height as the boy. I got my dinner, but I had no where to sit. So I did the worst case scenario, I asked if I could sit with them.
"Excuse me." I said
"Yeah?" asked the brown-haired boy
"Is it okay if I sit here?" I asked
"Sure. No problem." Said the brown-haired boy
"Thanks." I said
"I've never seen you around in Kadic before, are you a new student?" asked the brown-haired boy
"Yeah. I'm Naomi, Naomi Jones. I just transferred here from the United States." I said
"It's nice to meet you Naomi. I'm Ulrich, Ulrich Stern." Said Ulrich
"Hey there, cutie pie! I'm Odd, Odd Della Robbia." Said Odd
Now I know where I've seen him before! But, I can't let him know that I know him.
"Okay, ONE, don't call me cutie pie! The last person who called me that ended up with a zero for their homework because I gave him the wrong answers on purpose." I said
"You better watch out Odd." Said Ulrich
"So Naomi, what do you like to do in your spare time? I like playing Bakugan, Yu-Gi-Oh, and video games. Oh yeah, I also watch Wipeout and Hospital of Horrors." Said Odd
"Hospital of Horrors? Too scary for me! But Wipeout is killer, man! Did you see the new episode last Tuesday? Let me tell you, it was hilarious!" I exclaimed
"I know, I mean, you have 3 doors, and what's behind them all? Hammers! Only 2 people got through them though. But did you see that part with the shake-a-lator?" asked Odd
"Oh yeah! There was that guy who just wouldn't get off! Then John Henson is like 'Give me that remote!' He cranks up the speed, guys about to get off, and he tilts the shake-a-lator! Wipeout!" I exclaimed
"Yeah, let me tell you, it was hilarious. You have 3 doors, 3 different contestants, and they all have hammers! I'm not surprised that 'Force of Nature' guy won the whole challenge." Said Odd
"Me neither. I was routing for him since the start of round 2." I said
"Oh yeah, so what else do you like?" asked Odd
"Well, I play the piano, speak fluent Chinese and Spanish, but in my free time, I play video games, Bakugan, and Yu-Gi-Oh." I said
"Awesome! Listen, there's a Bakugan Tournament here at Kadic on Saturday at 3 o' clock in the afternoon. I would like it if you came." Said Odd
"I definitely will come! I'll see you guys later, I need to pick up my schedule." I said
I was making friends with the Lyoko Warriors! Talk about cool and weird at the same time! I wonder what's going on back home. Mom, Dad, McKenna, Matt… Will you miss me when I'm gone? Alright, I've picked up my schedule and I'm back in my dorm room. My room has a balcony, so I decided to sing to myself and to the stars.
Will you miss me, when I'm gone…?
Will you remember all the good times we've had?
The hardest thing about leaving is saying good-bye…
We'll always be the greatest of friends
I'll miss you more than I can say…
And when I'm blue, I'll just dream about you
I'll be only a memory away.
…
We'll always be the greatest of friends
I'll miss you more than I can say…
And when I'm blue, I'll just dream about you
I'll be only a memory away.
You're something special to me…
Friendship is something that money can't buy
And if you need me, you know that I'll be there for you…
We'll always be the greatest of friends
I'll miss you more than I can say…
And when you dream, I'll be there you
I'll be only a memory away.
We'll always be the greatest of friends
I'll miss you more than I can say…
And when you dream, I'll be there you
I'll be only a memory away. (1)
That's it for singing, now a chapter closes, and a new chapter begins.
(1) Will you miss me (When I'm gone) is sung in Sailor Moon when Amy is going to Germany
