Epilogue: Another Chapter Opens

And we've reached the ending of Code Lyoko: A New Journey. Anyways, I won't waste time. Here's the disclaimer for the last time for this fanfic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko. I also do not own Sia and Rina. They belong to D.J. Scales. Taios isn't mine either. He belongs to infinitestories. Finally, Caleb doesn't belong to me either. He belongs to my good friend Detroid434.

Enjoy!

I've had the same thoughts over and over again, and my mine's made up. I have to send them home. XANA's too dangerous as is now that he's escaped. I sent them a quick text that said 'Meet me in the woods at the crossroads, now. P.S. pack your things.' I headed for the woods with the fake DT device in tow. Soon enough, they showed up with their things.

"Okay, what's the rush? Are we going on a trip?" asked McKenna

"Sorta." I said

"Where?" asked Matt

"Home." I said while revealing the fake system

"Is that…" started McKenna

"Yeah. The DT system. This will send us home, but it can only take two at a time." I said

"Then you should go first, with McKenna. I'll follow." Said Matt

"No. I have to be last. Only a person with the keys to the system can work this thing right. Besides, if you two go first, I'll feel at ease." I said

"Alright." Said Matt

He pulled me into a half hug, and I took my chances and slipped the letter I wrote before into his pocket.

"Okay, I just need to activate this. This has a ten second delay, and it'll teleport whoever is holding the device back home. And… activated." I said

McKenna and Matt held on tight, and they disappeared as a strong wind blew, and the busted fake system was on the ground. They'll know I'm not coming back when they read that letter.

Matt's P.O.V.

I opened my eyes and found myself in my room! I'm back, and it looks like an hour passed. I quickly ran to my computer, and found that it was the same day that I left too! Or… was it all a dream? I soon saw that I was wearing clothes that were a size or two too big for me, and… wait a minute! These clothes… it wasn't a dream! I then found something in my pocket, and it was a letter, addressed to me and McKenna.

'Dear Matt and McKenna,

If you're reading this letter, then you're home again. Unfortunately, I will not be joining you right away. The system you used, I lied. It was a fake. Dad created it to throw XANA off if he ever escaped the supercomputer. I guess it won't be a problem now. I didn't want to use it, but I had no choice. XANA is stronger than ever, and by sending you away, I could make sure you were safe. It's like C.C. said in Code Geass, if you have someone you care about, you keep them at a distance. She meant that literally, not figuratively. I always had wondered what it meant, and now I finally figured it out. Matt, McKenna, I know you two will be a better couple than I was a girlfriend with you Matt. You two are my friends, and that will never change. I guess… for now… this is good-bye.

Your friend forever,

Natalie'

She never signed her name with Natalie. She was serious. I then felt something inside and I took it out, and it was the Sode no Shirayuki cell phone charm I got for her. She gave it back…

Naomi's P.O.V.

I looked at my cell phone, now charmless, and hoped that they were okay. I then got a message on my watch. It was from Caleb! He wants to meet me on Lyoko! I raced through the woods to get to the factory.

Third Person P.O.V.

Naomi was in her dorm exhausted from the day's events when she opened the page to her diary and got her favorite purple pen and began writing while remembering the day's events.

'Dear Diary,

In the two years that I've spent in this dimension, I've learned a lot about things that I used to take for granted, like friendship, loyalty, family, and how important it is to be you.'

In present time, Naomi just opened the hatch to the sewers.

'I admit that I used to take these all for granted, and I was like Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, or Mariam from A Thousand Splendid Suns. I was so focused on the world around me that I forgot about the world in my heart.'

Naomi had just arrived at the factory and began to climb the ladder to reach the sewer hatch.

'Being yourself is something that I had to learn again, but with friend like Jeremy, Ulrich, Odd, Yumi, Aelita, Taios, Matt, McKenna, Sia, Rina, and of course, Caleb, I had a lot of people helping me. I'll never forget the friendship they showed me.'

Now she entered the elevator and pressed the down button.

'But, if anything, I learned how it feels to have a broken heart. Matt had feelings for McKenna this whole time, and I was too blind to see it. I'm still trying to get over it, but I don't think my heart is ready for a relationship for a long time. If my soul mate is out there, I'll take it slow before jumping the gun. I already gave the school the explanation about Matt and McKenna, and they had believed me.'

She was now entering the auto-virtualization code into the computer with coordinates into the Mountain Sector.

'I'm glad to have friends like the ones I have, and I'm even happier to be a part of such a big family full of friends and a future. Now all that's left is to defeat XANA. If he attacks, the Lyoko Warriors and I will counterattack, until he is gone once and for all. Until then, it's only a matter of time.

Forever yours,

Naomi'

In present time, Naomi had closed her diary and turned off the lights and went to sleep, while in the past, Naomi just landed in the mountain sector. She looked around for a black tower, but didn't see one.

"Natalie." Said Caleb

She looked to see him and immediately smiled.

"Caleb!" exclaimed Naomi

She ran up to him, and immediately hugged him while smiling.

Well, that's it, the end of Code Lyoko: A New Journey, but don't fret, the sequel, Code: Heart, will be headed your way soon! Until then, please review, and for the last time in this fanfic, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off. Until I see you in Code: Heart, kan dao ni!
