huzzah!

As soon as I was materialized, I waited for my scanner to open up and I ran to the other closed scanner that I knew that Odd would appear in if he came back. It was still closed, but there was smoke forming around it like it was activated. That sight gave me a little hope that our mission was a success. The seconds that I waited for that scanner to open up seemed like hours. I was getting overly anxious.

Suddenly the doors open and standing in that scanner was the blond haired guy that had given me real hell the last couple of weeks. Knowing me, I should be extremely pissed off about all the shit that I've been put through because of him, but as he stumbled out of the scanner, I ran over to Odd and embraced him. I had no clue if he was still under XANA's control or not, but at that moment I really didn't care. I just wanted to be in his arms.

At first, it seemed like it was a big shock that I pretty much attacked him, but then Odd put his arms around me in a way that I knew he was really back and then he whispered in my ear, "Daddy's home."

"You're back," I whispered back while tears formed in my eyes.

Our embrace became tighter and Odd said to me, "You don't have to cry Serena."

"I know, but you have no idea how much I've missed you," I told him, but it barely sounded like real words since I was crying so hard now. I wish that I wasn't so happy that Odd was back that I was crying like I wasn't, but that's just the way my emotions go these days I guess. Then I buried my head into his chest and he started to stroke my hair to comfort me.

"I missed you terribly too."

In a matter of minutes, the elevator door opened up. Jeremy, Ulrich, and Yumi all came in the scanner room and shortly after, Aelita came out of the third scanner. They all were so glad that Odd was back too.

Ulrich came up to Odd and they both gave each other a knuckle touch followed by a bro hug. Jeremy followed suit and did the same while Aelita and Yumi both gave him big hugs. While everyone was having their reunion with Odd, I used that time to get myself together. Once I was alright again, I went back over to Odd and the six of us all headed back to the laboratory to talk. There was quite a lot we needed to discuss with Odd about what happened while he was possessed. Plus, we didn't get to use the Kill-XANA program since I got devirtualized before I could run it in the tower. That meant that we'll have to plan to make a special mission later to kill him.

"So Odd," Jeremy started, "So what all happened while you were possessed?"

"I can't really remember much, but it was horrible. I felt like killing everything in sight," he told us and then I held on to his hand to comfort him.

"Did you like know XANA's plans that he made you do?" Ulrich asked.

"No," Odd replied, "I think I just acted without knowing."

"That's gotta be terrible. Not knowing what you're doing," Aelita said while shaking her head.

"No offense Aelita, but don't you already know what it's like to be possessed?" asked Yumi.

"Yeah, but I knew what I was doing. I just had no control over my body."

"It was pretty bad," Odd sadly said, "And I wanted to say that I'm sorry for the trouble that I caused too."

"It's alright," Jeremy forgave him, "We know that you had no control over it. I'm sorry that Aelita and I weren't there to help you that day XANA sent the Scyphazoas to possess you."

"It's ok, I know it's not your fault."

We all continued to talk for a while about XANA and what we were planning on doing about how we'll kill him soon. After an hour of discussing it, we finally came up with a flawless plan that we were planning on putting in action this coming Sunday since we don't have any classes. Really I didn't pay that much attention to what was being said since we had Odd back. I just couldn't wait for us all to leave the factory so I could spend more time with him. Soon dinnertime rolled around and Ulrich and Yumi decided that they were going to go out to eat tonight, leaving Jeremy, Aelita, Odd, and I on our way to the lunch room. I think tonight Rosa was planning on fixing spaghetti and meatballs, which put Odd in a great mood since that was one of his favorites.

"You have no idea how much I can't wait to eat," Odd told me while holding the door open for me as we entered the lunch room together.

"I'm sure you can't wait," I giggled at him, "Who knows when the last time you got to eat some real food?"

"I know! I'm practically starving!"

"Well, let's not keep you waiting any longer," I said while I pulled Odd into the line to get a tray. The quicker he got food in him, the faster it would be for me to get him to myself.

Once we got all of our trays filled with spaghetti and meatballs, the four of us went to our usual table to eat and we started to have random conversations. Most of them ended up being about computer stuff between Aelita and Jeremy so Odd and I didn't really have much of a part of those since we didn't know much about it. About twenty minutes later, we finally finished dinner and the four of us left the lunch room to head to the dormatory rooms.

"Well, thanks again guys for saving me from my possession from XANA," thanked Odd once we got to the stairs.

"No problem," Jeremy replied, "There's no way we'd leave you like that anyways."

"It was terrible without you and that clone we made didn't even compare to being like you," said Aelita.

"You guys made a clone of me?" Odd asked enthusiasticly, "Was he awesome?"

"He was ok, but he was always wanting to read books all the time and he barely wanted to be with me," I told him. Then Odd pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear.

"Well then that clone blows that he didn't want to spend time with a sexy girl like you, but I'm glad that he didn't do much cuz that means I still get you all to myself."

"Nothing that clone could ever do could make me want him more than you. You're the only one for me," I whispered back to him. Saying that made Odd grin from ear to ear and he gave me another sqeeze.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Well guys, it's starting to get late. We should all start heading up to our rooms I guess," Jeremy said while giving a yawn.

"It's not even eight yet and you're already tired Jeremy? Jeez, what have you been doing lately?" Odd teased.

"For your information, I've been spending sleepless nights trying to come up with a pogram to kill the XANA possession in you!"

"I know, I know! Calm down Einstein!"

Then we all started laughing as we climbed up the stairs. Aelita went on to her room and Jeremy ended up doing the same. While we were on the boy's floor, Odd gave me another hug and then started to go off towards his room, but I stopped him.

"Where do you think you're going mister?" I asked him while pulling on his shirt to bring him closer to me.

"To my room to get ready for a shower and then bed. Why'd you want to know?" he asked me with confusion in his voice.

"Ok, but as soon as you're done with your shower, you better come to my room to spend the night with me."

"You really want me to?"

"Odd, I haven't been with you in weeks. Of course I do! The least you can do is spend the night with me," I told him.

"What about Jim?"

"Forget Jim! He barely even patrols the girls' floor anyways. Just don't get caught coming up to my room after your shower and you'll be fine."

"Alright. I'll be there in about 30 minutes," Odd said to me and then smirked, "Can you hold on that long for me?"

"Oh Odd," I sighed at him, "I think I'll be able to manage. Just don't keep me waiting too long."

"I promise I won't."

And with that, Odd gave me a peck on the lips and he went off to his room to get ready to take his shower. I went ahead up to my own room and changed into something comfortable to sleep in, which was my tank top and shorts as usual. While I waited for him, I listened to some music on my iPod as I was getting anxious to get to spend the whole night with Odd. We weren't going to do anything dirty, but I still couldn't wait to get to be with him in his arms doing everything we used to do together before XANA possessed him.

After what seemed like a century, I finally started to hear the tumblers to my door unlock. Then Odd entered my room and I practically flung myself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me too and smirked down at me.

"Is it your goal in life to constantly tackle me every single time I enter your presence?" he asked me.

"No. But when I miss you too much, I feel the need to," I replied as I snuggled my head into Odd's chest.

"Well, you don't need to anymore cuz I'm not going anywhere right now."

"Good then."

Suddenly, Odd hoisted me up so that we could kiss and I wrapped my legs around him. We started to make out as he brought me to my bed. Then we got into the bed and continued to kiss each other like we'd never see each other again. Minutes passed on and we stayed tangled together in each other's embrace. God only knows how long we stayed like that, but soon we had to stop so that we could talk about things that happened.

"Odd, do you really remember anything that happened when you were possessed?" I asked him even though I knew that we'd already discussed this.

"I remember one time XANA sent me out of Lyoko to go see you and I kinda felt happy about it, but then everything got cloudy and I had like no control over anything," he said then questioned, "Did I do something really bad?"

"You tried to rape me and I refused to cooperate with you so you pulled a switchblade on me. I just barely got away from you unharmed."

"Are you serious? Serena, you have no idea how extremely sorry I am!"

Odd couldn't believe he had done what I had told him and started to get upset that he did it. Seeing him like that made me feel terrible about telling him what he had done.

"Hey now, I know it really wasn't you doing all that Odd," I tried to comfort him, "If it makes you feel any better, I forgive you."

"Thanks, but it still doesn't change the fact that I tried to rape you!"

"Don't worry about it Odd. I've gotten over it."

"But Serena, how could you even stand to touch me after all of that? I feel so bad that I had done that to you!"

"Like I said earlier, I know it wasn't the real you who was trying to rape me. I have no problem being with you now," I replied and then I rolled back over on top of him. Odd wrapped his arms around me and smiled even though I knew he was still a little upset about what I told him.

"So anything else I did that I should know about?"

"Well, other than the fact that you killed your clone, roughed up Jeremy some, and threw me around a bit, I think you pretty much know what all happened."

"I guess that isn't so bad compared to what I could have done. I'm still very sorry I did all of that," said Odd.

"I know you are honey. We all do. Please just don't dwell on it though. We forgive you for everything," I said to him and gave him a kiss. Odd smiled and his embrace around me tighted slightly.

"You know I don't deserve you."

"And I don't deserve you either."

"If that's the case, how'd we ever get to be together in the first place?" Odd asked.

"I blame your parents for enrolling you into Kadic when you moved beside me in America," I told him playfully, "There are many other schools you could have gone to."

"Well I blame your parents for telling mine that Kadic was a good school and you go there."

"So it's our parents' fault that we're together? That'll be a nice story to tell the kids," I joked.

"Hey now, I rather tell them it was their grandparent's that brought us together than some mean, ol' taxi driver and a stinky guy on the airplane that I moved away from to sit beside you," Odd replied and I laughed harder.

"Too bad we didn't hit it off back then when you first moved. We would have two extra years together."

"True, but it really doesn't matter anymore. We're together now and nothing's gonna change that ever."

Then Odd kissed me again with passion. He really did love me so much and I was so thankful he was there for me. I seriously hope we can stay together for a long time because I doubt that I'll ever want anybody else. Once again, the two of us were tangled in each other and didn't have a care in the world. The only thing that mattered to us at that moment was each other and how much we were in love. This whole experience had taught me one thing. Odd was right. No matter how bad a situation gets, you can always get through the eye of the storm. I know now that no matter what XANA throws at us, we would always rise above it. What we went through with Odd being possessed has proved that to me and I'm thankful that I have him, Ulrich, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremy in my life now to help me get through hard times like that.

It was late into the night when Odd and I started to get tired and had to break apart from making out with each other.

"I love you Serena Shay," Odd told me breathlessly, "Forever."

"And I love you Odd Della Robbia," I replied as I smiled back at him, "Forever."

"So I guess we better try to get some rest. We get to kill XANA soon."

"I know. Then we can go on with our lives."

"Yeah, but I think I'm gonna miss fighting against him. I've been doing it ever since I moved here. It's gonna feel so weird not having to," he said.

"Ah, don't worry too much about it. We'll find other activities to do during our free time," I told Odd with a little smirk and he laughed.

"Of course you'd say something like that Kitten."

"You just know me too well Tiger. Well, I'm beat so let's get some sleep."

"Alright."

Odd pulled up the blanket over top of us and I snuggled up closer to his chest. We got into a comfy position and kissed each other goodnight. We had such a big day ahead of us with having to kill XANA for good and I just couldn't wait to get it over with. But the best thing of it all was I will be fighting alongside with Odd once again and nothing could go wrong with the feline duo on the scene once again. Goodnight all and goodbye XANA!
