A/N And started up again, with new and different ideas.

Sanne is in her room working on a program when the Super Scan starts to beep. "I'm so close I can feel it. If I can just create a Ghost it would really help with our fights on Earth." She goes to call Skitz when the Tower deactivates. "Weird." A few seconds later her phone rings and she sees it is her dad's number. "Hi dad what's up?"

"Listen here young lady Jim just called and told me that you and Krieger have been training in martial arts!"

"What? Dad, I…"

"No excuses young lady I told you it is too dangerous. I've talked to your mother and we're discussing whether or not to pull you out of Kadic Academy."

"Dad you can't! You said I could when you were here!"

"I can change my mind and I can send you home and I just might do it to prove it! I told you no martial arts! What if you got kicked in the head and it damaged your brain?!"

"Dad, Krieger's never hurt me."

"I'm sure and if he hasn't he will. I only have a few simple rules and you broke one of the biggest ones!"

"Dad I, I'm not a little girl! You, dad you even said I could, that it was ok when you were out here!"

"Oh you're a woman are you? We'll see how big you are when you're back here. I never should have agreed to send you there. Kadic Academy is nothing compared to the tutors I hired."

"Dad I like it here I'm with my friends!"

"I'm sure Krieger is just that! I know how Yumi and Ulrich use to be. They'd be training then the next moment on the mat…"

Anger builds in Sanne. "Dad I don't like Krieger like that!"

"Don't yell at me Sanne! You are in trouble and if I don't pull you out I'll make sure to cut off your allowance until vacation!"

She can't hold back. "Go ahead I spent so little of what you sent me that I don't need anymore of your money!"

"Oh so you're going to be paying for Kadic Academy are you? Or for new clothes? Hair cuts? Sanne pack your bags I don't care what your mother says you're coming home as soon as I get the Jjet out there!" Jeremie hangs up on Sanne.

"Dad, no, you don't understand…" Sanne hears the dial tone. "Jim, why would he call my dad and tell him about the training? Mom and dad said it was ok last time they were out here." Sanne worries about what to do. She could do a return and tell Jim not to tell her dad but there was two problems with that. One Jim would wonder how Sanne knew he was going to call and tell Jeremie and two it would make Xana stronger. "What am I going to do? They need me here. Maybe, my dad, something has to be wrong. I'm allowed to train they gave me permission." Sanne thinks about it for awhile when Skitz comes into the room crying. "Skitz what's wrong? Did you and Barack have a fight?"

"No, my, my Mom called." Skitz tries to tell Sanne through the sobs. "Odd, he, he was sky diving and, the parachute, it didn't open." Skitz continues to cry as Sanne gets up and hugs her.

"I, I'm so sorry." Sanne's problem pales in comparison to this. "I, does Ark know yet?"

"Mom, mom said, she called him." Skitz continues to cry. Sanne holds onto Skitz who cries when her phone rings. Sanne sees it is Krieger.

"Krieger, did, did Ark tell you?"

His response surprises her. "Tell me what psycho? I can't believe you'd call me and say that then hang up on me!"

"Krieger I…" Krieger cuts her off.

"You said we, I, you know what? It doesn't matter." Krieger hangs up on Sanne.

"But, I, I never called him." Sanne hangs her phone up and one word comes to her head. "Xana."

"What?" Skitz looks at Sanne with red eyes and tears.

"Xana, he, that Tower. Skitz call your mom and ask how Odd's doing."

"What? But, she just said he, he didn't make it." Skitz starts to cry again.

"Ok I'll call." Sanne uses her phone to call Sandra. "Hi, Sandra, is Odd there?"

"No he's at work, Sanne if, what's that noise?"

"Never mind, thanks." Sanne and Sandra hang up. "Skitz, your dad's fine. He's at work. Xana called you just like he called Krieger and he called me." Sanne smiles at Skitz. "Don't you get it? His little plan failed already." Sanne wasn't being taken out of Kadic Academy, Odd wasn't dead, but Krieger was probably still mad at her. "Skitz lie down while I go talk to Krieger, okay?"

"Oh, are you sure? It sounded just like my mom."

"I'm sure, I'll be right back ok?" Skitz nods then Sanne leaves.

Sanne goes to the gym where she knew Krieger would be. When she gets there she sees Krieger sitting on a mat stretching. Sanne walks over to him and he hears a noise.

When he turns to see who it was and see Sanne the air gets thick with feelings. "What are you doing here? Are you going to force me out of the group just because I started dating Skitz?"

Sanne holds her hands up. "No, I, Krieger that wasn't me who called you." Sanne ignores his glare. "It was you know who, he did you know what and well, he called you, and me, and Skitz."

"What?" Krieger's glare softens a little.

"Xana called us but I figured it out because I never called you, I never said anything." Sanne hopes Krieger believes her.

For Krieger this might be worse then Sanne actually calling mad about Skitz.

If she was mad about him being with Skitz it meant she did like him as more than friends. Skitz's plan would have finally worked. Instead, she said it is Xana.

"I, I understand." Krieger stands up. "Sorry I got so mad at you." Krieger laughs a little.

Sanne is curious. "What did Xana say?"

"Stuff, mean stuff."

"That tells me everything." Sanne punches Krieger in the arm lightly. "We should probably go to the Factory just in case."

Krieger and Sanne leave the gym.

Sanne gets her phone out and calls Ark. "Ark, Xana called, what did he tell you?"

"What? I didn't get a call from Xana. Sanne are you on Jazz or something?"

"No, Xana, he activated a Tower and called me, Krieger, and your sister. He called as my dad saying he was pulling me out of school, called Krieger as me and yelled at him, and called Skitz as your mom. You didn't get a call?"

"Oh, ouch, um, I got to go." Ark hangs up and calls Mira but she won't answer. "I should have known it wasn't her, I, I shouldn't have yelled at her." Ark's call had been Mira saying that she was breaking up with Ark for some William guy. He called her back, much like Krieger had, and yelled at her and said some things he certainly didn't mean now.

Mira is walking through the woods mad at Ark wondering what was going on. She didn't even know a William yet he yelled at her for breaking up with him for William. "Stupid git, like I'd talk to him after that." She turns her phone off. This would be the worst thing she did that day. "What do I do now? Ark was the only one who wanted me in the group. If we break up will they still want me to go to Lyoko? I doubt it. They'll probably do whatever to blank my memories." Mira kicks a rock then follows it to kick it again. This distracts her from the noise of the ground moving behind her forming into a monster. She kicks the rock and follows it some more wondering what was going to happen when the monster attacks. "Aaaa!" She is hit hard and the wind is knocked out of her. She tries to get up but the monster attacks her again.

"Activated Tower." Skitz sits up from her bed as Sanne's Jtop beeps. "Sanne, have to call her and the others." Skitz gets her phone out and calls Sanne. "Sanne, activated Tower."

"Ok, I'm with Krieger so just call Ark and Mira." Sanne and Skitz hang up. "Activated Tower. I think Xana wanted to hurt us before launching his real attack. Good thing we figured it out first."

"Yeah, good thing." Krieger was thinking about how the plan had worked, finally. He would break up with Skitz and be with Sanne.

"Ok, could you guys call Mira? She won't answer a call from me right now."

"Sure Ark." They hang up and Sanne calls Mira but gets her voice mail. Sanne sends a text message of SOS XANA but gets no response. "I think Mira's the target."

"Oh, well, if we deactivate the Tower everything will be fine." The two hurry to the Factory.

"No, stop, please." Mira was trying to fight the monster but the monster was the Earth itself. If she tried to kick it the soil would wrap around her leg, pick her up, and throw her into a tree. "Aaaa!" Mira hears a bone snap as the monster slams an Earth fist into her upper leg. "I give up."

"Really? How weak are you girl? All I had to do was break you up from Ark Della Robbia and you are ready to die?" The monster laughs then attacks Mira. Soil fills her mouth and nose and soon Mira stands up. "How surprised they will be." Mira turns into soil then moves into the ground to move faster then a normal human to the Factory.

Sanne and Krieger get to the Factory and find an injured Mira at the end of the bridge. "Ouch, she's breathing but she doesn't look good." Krieger picks her up easily and puts her over her shoulder. "This should be fun." Krieger carefully jumps then slides down balancing Mira on his shoulder. He gets to the floor and runs over to the elevator where Sanne, not weighed down by Mira, was waiting. They take the elevator down to the Control Room.

"I'll send you two first while we wait for Ark and Skitz."

"Gotcha." Krieger carries Mira over to the elevator and takes it down to the Scanners. "Transfer Krieger, Transfer Mira, Scanner Krieger, Scanner Mira, Virtualization." They land on Lyoko in the Desert Sector but Mira doesn't move.

"Uh, Sanne, she's, something's not right."

"I, there's an error." There was a red exclamation point on the screen. "Mira, answer me. I can't bring her back. Xana, this might have been his plan. If I can't bring her back or if she is hit and loses her life points she might not come back."

"So we have to treat her like Dante?"

"Except she doesn't seem to be moving. When the others get here have Ark put her on his disc and keep her away from the other monsters." Sanne waits and finally the alarm goes off. Ark and Skitz met in the sewer passage and got to the Factory together. "Krieger they're here I'll send them and the vehicles soon."

"Ok I'll be waiting." Krieger waits and soon all three land on Lyoko. "Ark, she's ok, I think. She was breathing when I put her in the Scanner." Krieger tries to calm Ark down but Ark was hysterical.

"Mira, Mira! Come on Mira, please, Mira!" Ark shakes her but she doesn't respond.

"Ark she was breathing before she's just, knocked out." Krieger pushes Ark away before he starts shaking Mira like he was an English Nanny and Mira was a crying baby. "Put her on your disc and control it while you take the Overwing."

"But, she better be ok." Ark does as Krieger says.

They go, fight monsters and Xana, and then Sanne makes it to the Tower

"Skitz, keep breathing." The damage done to Skitz had transferred to Earth. The acid has literally melted her face which makes it hard to breath since her nose and mouth are covered with melted skin.

Ark has used a pocket knife to cut a hole for her mouth but this made her bleed. "Sanne's here she can scan you and you'll be ok." Ark looks up at Sanne who nods.

Sanne goes to the elevator and takes it up. She goes to the control panel and sees through the security camera that Skitz as put in the middle Scanner. Sanne scans her and a few seconds later Skitz steps out healed.

"Ouch, that hurt. Anyone have a mirror?" Mira gets a pocket mirror out and hands it to Skitz. Skitz looks in it. "Still my beautiful face that everyone loves." She smiles looking at her reflection.

"Everyone?" Mira takes her mirror back.

"Ok, everyone that counts." Skitz gets the last shot in as Ark gets between the two girls.

"Mira are you okay? How did Xana posses you?"

"I, I'm not sure. Something attacked me…" Mira pushes Ark away. "What the hell is your problem?"

"What?" Ark realizes Mira doesn't know the calls were fake. Except his since he was tricked by Xana. "No Mira, Xana, he did the calls."

"Really?" Ark nods. "Oh, sorry." Mira hugs Ark. "Of course you didn't call me and say those things."

"It wasn't your fault it was Xana." Ark doesn't correct Mira. It is too confusing as it was and he didn't want Mira to get mad at him for not trusting her.

"Well while this love fest goes on I'm going to go back." Skitz goes over to the elevator.

As they get on the elevator, Skitz nudges Krieger in the side with an elbow. "What was that for?" Skitz doesn't reply. "Strange." No, Odd.

"What was that?" Ark looks around swearing he heard his dad's voice.

"I don't know." They take the elevator up to the Control Room to get Sanne then leave the Factory going their separate ways.

At the dorms, Krieger and Skitz sit in her room with their homework spread out. "Thanks for helping me. I've been so stressed out lately with these attacks."

"No problem, Skitz." Krieger can't get the call, fake call, out of his mind. "If Sanne finally, uh, well say your plan works. What if she turns on us? Jealousy can do crazy things to people."

"Don't worry, she won't hurt us. We're her friends." Skitz looks over at him. His face caught in concentration as he works on his biology homework. If the plan ever works that is. I'm happy with it not working. For now anyways. "Besides, don't you like hanging out with me?"

"I do, duh. We're friends too. If I could ever get Ark away from Mira or Sanne away from the Super Computer I'd do the same things with them."

"Really?" Skitz gets closer to him. "You would do the same things with my brother as you do me?"

He pulls away when she gets too close. "Uh, well, we've only kissed three or four times." He smiles. "Who knows, with all the kissing he does with Mira he might have a trick or two to teach me for Sanne."

She makes a face. "Ew. The thought of you making out with my brother is now plastered in my head."

"That's not what I meant!" He laughs. "You know, this is good. I always loved when we got to visit your family or you guys came out to us. I enjoy training and stuff but I wanted to get away too. Maybe not for the same reason as your brother but it is nice to be normal."

"What did Ark say?"

Krieger pauses. "I don't know if I can say. It was between us."

Skitz leans in, placing her hand on his thigh for leverage. "Come on, tell me." She squeezes his thigh. "We can practice more kissing and maybe a little more."

Krieger's cheeks flush with color. "Whoa, Skitz, stop." He gets away from her. "I can't tell you."

Skitz crosses her arms and pouts. "You're no fun." She sticks her tongue out. "I'll let it go, this time."

Krieger is glad Skitz is backing off. "Why not ask him?"

"He won't tell me. He seems to avoid me." Krieger sees the hurt look on her face. "We used to be inseparable."

Krieger, feeling bad, gives in. "That's actually why. You two are so close. Even Sanne and I are close to him. That's because of our parents. He wants to make new friends and stuff without it being forced."

"Huh, I guess I can see that." Skitz smiles. "Imagine we didn't know each other before we came here. Would you still want to date Sanne?"

Krieger shrugs his shoulders.

"What about me? Do you think we would be friends?"

"I have no idea. I only wanted to come here because you and the others were coming. If I didn't know you I wouldn't be here."

Skitz picks up a pencil and scribbles something down. "I think we would be. If you came." She holds up what she drew.

"Is that..."

Skitz smiles and nods. "What? You are very cute. I can totally see me drawing a bunch of these."

The picture is of two hearts, one with her name on it and the other with Krieger's. "I'm sure there are plenty of girls here who would draw the same thing."

The door opens and Sanne walks in with a soda in her hand. "Oh, hey you two." She sees the various text books on the beds. "Homework?" She makes a face. "I should probably do mine."

Skitz rolls her eyes. "Duh! Come one, join us. We can all help each other."

Sanne sees the picture of the hearts in Skitz's hand. "Um, are you sure? I don't want to be interrupting you and your study date."

"Of course I'm sure. It is just studying and trying to get through all of this BS. If it were a date we wouldn't be focusing on our homework."

Krieger wants to tell Skitz to stop but can't. They are supposed to be dating so Sanne will get jealous.

Yet... Sanne seems anything but jealous. We should stop this stupid plan it isn't working. No matter what Skitz says.

Skitz shows Sanne where she is on her biology homework. "Uh, if you help me with Italiano I'll fix questions five and seventeen."

Skitz looks at those questions. "I got them wrong? I swear these are right."

Sanne smiles. "You'd be wrong." I do love hanging out with my friends. She looks over at Krieger. He and Skitz are so cute together. I hope I'm not interrupting them and Skitz is just being polite.

Skitz sees the way Sanne looks at Krieger. It is working. I better enjoy hanging out with Krieger for as long as I can. Once those two start dating they'll probably ignore me like Ark does. Looking at Krieger, she feels a little sad. He only hangs out with me because of the plan. She blinks and pushes that thought away. No, we are friends. We could still go to the arcade or the pool and other stuff even if they do start dating. She smiles to herself. "I guess I'll let you help me with my biology."

The three, working together, get their homework done in record time. Being friends and being together makes the three forget about Xana if even for just a few hours.

A/N Last time I did this people mentioned they didn't really seem that close. I played on it, with drama and in fighting. This time the big change is that they are friends. They grew up together. So they should be a close knit group. Except for Ark and his "I want to make friends without our parents", they are friends so I am changing things to make them closer.
