A/N: This is it guys! Last chapter before part two. I really hope you enjoy'd this story and you continue to read the next book. Without you're reviews, I never would have gotten this far, so if you're reading this, I love you. Also, if you've never listened to the links that I put up for these songs, then I'm begging you to listen to this one because it's my favorite so far. If you have song comments for the next book, leave them in the comments.

Mira picked up her phone and dialed. After two rings, the receiver picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ulrich."

"What's up squirt?"

"Can you meet me outside near the front gates in twenty minutes?"

"Why?"

Mira told him about the plan she had. She wanted to sing a song that she had edited a bit to express her feelings. On the receiving end, Ulrich was listening to her talk and was trying to hide from Odd the fact that he was on the phone with Mira. It wasn't too hard though since Odd was playing video games.

"You sure that's a good idea squirt? I really feel like it should be the other way around." He glanced over at Odd for a moment before returning his attention to Mira.

"Don't worry. Just think of it as closure okay? I need to get this off my chest."

Over the past few days, Odd had been hanging out with a girl in their class, Sahara. Whenever she passed by them they were either laughing, smiling, or talking with hushed voices. It seemed painfully obvious to her that Odd had moved on, and it felt like she couldn't do the same until she let out what she was feeling. Maybe this would clear the awkward air between them. It was extremely risky, like putting all the chips on the table and playing your last cards, but it had to be done.

"Alright. We'll be there."

"Thanks."

Now that everything was set, Mira decided to get ready. She put on a plain white t-shirt and slipped into a short, blue floral dress. With that, she added a set of bracelets and simple black converse. For the final touch, Mira curled her hair and put on a signature black bow. Putting on her guitar, she took a deep breath and smiled.

"I'm ready."

She set out to the front gates of the school and stood there. People and students passing by her gave her weird looks. Taking a deep breath, she began to play a few cords and show off her voice.

Soon, the people passing by stopped to listen and students crowded around, hoping for another good performance from Mira. Still, Ulrich wasn't there yet so she couldn't start the song.

"Guys, we're going to be late!" Ulrich shouted. He had nearly dragged Odd out of his room and was now rushing with Yumi, Aelita, Odd and Jeremy to the place Mira had asked them to meet. When they got to the school gates, all they could see was a giant crowd.

"She's really going all out, isn't she."

"Who is?" Odd asked. Ulrich ignored him and pushed through the crowd. Finally, they made it to the front were Mira was dolled up and ready to play.

Odd was confused and stunned. She looked completely gorgeous in her outfit and holding her guitar, ready to play.

Mira locked eyes with Ulrich. He gave her a thumbs up and she took a deep breath, ready to start.

"So, this is something I've been planning for a while, and I hope you're all willing to listen. I know that I changed the lyrics a bit, but this better reflects the feelings I'm trying to get across to you. Please, bare with me for this one performance." That being said, she closed her eyes and began to sing.

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down

Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

I Should have shown you more affection

I should have held your hand

Should have shown you my devotion

At every given chance

Go with you to all the parties

Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancing

But he's dancing with somebody else

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong man like you to walk out my life

Now I'll never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That I should have shown you more affection

I should held your hand

Should have shown you more devotion

At every given chance

go with you to all the parties

Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancing

But he's dancing with somebody else

People in the crowd began to cry, feeling the pain and sorrow that Mira was expressing. Ulrich was doing his best not to show his tears, Jeremy was watching intently while wiping is glasses every now and then, Yumi and Aelita were sobbing into each others shoulders and Odd had a steady stream of tears running down his face that he didn't even bother to hide.

Although it hurts

I'll be the first to say that I was wrong

Oh, I know I'm probably much too late

To try and apologize for my mistakes

But I just want you to know

I hope she shows you her affection

I hope she holds your hand

Shows you her devotion

At every given chance

Goes with you to the parties

Cause I remember how much you love to dance

Does all the things I should have done

When you were my man

Does all the things I should have done

When you were my man

She finished the last cord and opened her eyes again. It was deadly silent from the crowds awe and amazement but soon, they all began to clap. Mira laughed and wiped the tears of her face as she took a bow.

"Thank you guys. Thank you so much. I-I have to go now, but thank you for listening."

"Mira!" Odd yelled. Her eyes widened at his voice and in her panic, she took off running through the crowd.

Oh god! I didn't think it would be so embarrassing that Odd was listening! What am I going to do?!

In her haste to leave, Mira left her guitar behind. Ulrich grabbed it for her and watched as Odd chased after her.

Good luck Odd.

Odd saw a flash of blue and pink dash into the forest.

I'm sorry Mira, but I can't let you get away a second time.

He turned, instantly following her into the woods. Mira ran and ran with tears in her eyes.

Oh god! I shouldn't have done that! What if he hates me now? I just can't handle that

"Mira!" He yelled again. She pushed herself to run faster through the rough forest sustaining scratches and cuts along her legs. It didn't stop her though.

Odd watched her go and picked up the pace. She might be fast, but he was faster and he was determined.

Mira heard his footsteps getting closer and closer behind her. Without knowing it, she was running to the lake where Odd had once helped her with her wrists and Sissy had abandoned her to do the project by herself. It seemed like so a long time ago when in reality, it had only been a few months.

I'm sorry Odd.

I'm sorry Mira.

Odd lunged forward, tackling Mira to the ground. She yelped as she fell onto her back. Odd held her hands above her heads with his knee's on either side of her body to prevent her from escaping. Both of them were breathing hard and Mira had tears running down her face.

Odd never thought she looked more beautiful.

"Let me go Odd." She whispered quietly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

"But Sahara!"

"Was just helping me come up with a plan to get you back. Mira, I know that I've been such a jerk lately and I really don't deserve your forgiveness, but I can't stop loving you and I'm willing to wait for you as long as it takes."

"You are?"

"I am."

"Then I'm going to keep you to that promise. We both know that we can't just go back to the way things were before, but I know that I would rather live with these feelings then without them. It's going to take a lot of work on both parts but. . ."

"But?" His voice was so full of hope and excitement that Mira couldn't keep the smile off of her face.

"I think we can make this work, because I love you Odd."

He couldn't hold back any longer. Swiftly, Odd bent down and kissed her. His feelings for her were being poured into the movement of his lips and she was doing the same. This kiss was better then all of their other ones they'd shared combined. It held a passion that was seemingly indescribable.

After a couple of minutes, they broke apart breathing hard. Odd rolled off of her but pulled her back into his arms. She giggled lightly as he kissed her forehead.

"You don't know how much a missed this." He whispered, pecking her lips lightly. She laughed lightly.

"It's only been a eight days."

"Eight days to many!"

This time, Mira kissed him. It was just a light little show of affection, but to Odd, it meant the world.

They stayed at the lake for over an hour enveloped ineach others warmth and kissing in the afternoon sun. They were dirty with tear stained faces, but it didn't matter.

Mira's cellphone began to ring. Both her and Odd groaned, but he let her go enough so she could answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey squirt. I'm not ruining anything am I?"

"N-no"

Yes!

"Good. Jeremy said he finished the skid. He wants you and Odd to get over here so we can test it out. I'm getting the feeling that you and Odd might wanna wash up first. You've got fifteen minutes! Bye!"

"Ulrich wai-"

It was to late. He'd already hung up. Odd got up and offered her a hand having heard the whole conversation.

"Bad timing huh?"

"The worst. We've got fifteen minutes."

"Race you?"

"First one to the sewers wins. GO!"

"Hey!" Odd yelled. Mira laughed as she took off into the forest. He raced after her, running as fast as he can with a stupid grin on his face the entire way.

Mira flung open her door and locked it just as fast. She hadn't worn the outfit Aelita picked for her before, so she decided to wear it now. Quickly, she slipped off her dress and switched into a new white t-shirt since the other one was covered in dirt. She slipped into black shorts which she tucked the shirt into and added black suspenders. To finish it off, she put on a black pinstripe fedora and left her converse on. After wiping the dirt and grime off her face, she took off out of the dorm.

Odd ran out of his room and made his way towards the forest. He didn't see a sign of Mira so he figured he'd won.

He was far from the truth. When he reached the sewer cover, Mira was sitting on it and pretending to meditate. She peaked one eyes open and smirked.

"Took you long enough."

He rolled his eyes but pecked her on the cheek anyway. "You look cute. Up for round two?"

"Always."

Back in the lab, Aelita, Yumi, Jeremy and Ulrich were waiting anxiously.

"What do you think happened?" Aelita asked. They had all seen Odd run after Mira but new nothing after that.

"I think they were together when I called." Ulrich offered.

"So you think they're back together?"

"Definitely."

"Guys, the elevators coming!" Jeremy shushed. All eyes turned to the elevator door waiting for the results.

The door opened with both Mira and Odd shooting out of it as fast as possible. The two were making a mad dash for the super computer. At almost the same time, they reached out and touched it.

"I win again!" Mira cheered.

"You're kidding right? I totally won that!"

"Bull shit!"

"GUYS!" Yumi yelled with a smirk. They looked over at her with determination in their eyes.

"Yes?"

"Are you together again."

Mira and Odd exchanged glances with a smile.

"Maybe. Race you too the scanners!" They answered at the same time. Both were pushing and shoving their way to the ladder, Odd getting down first. His cheers could be heard through the entire factory.

"They're totally together." Aelita grinned.

"And now that we have that taken care of, it's time to test out the skid. Mira, Odd, I'm starting the virtualization process."

"See you in a sec." Mira waved. Odd waved back as the scanner doors closed.

"Transfer Mira, Transfer Odd, Scanner Mira, Scanner Odd," Jeremy's hand pressed down on the enter key.

"Virtualization!"
