"Transfer, Aelita. Transfer, Odd. Transfer, Lee. Scanner, Aelita. Scanner, Odd. Scanner, Lee. Virtualization." The three touched down in the desert sector.
    "All right, guys, the tower's east of you. And the situation's pretty bad back there, so you three are going to be the only ones on Lyoko."
    "Got it, Jeremy." Odd complained, "I just wish X.A.N.A. didn't attack so early. I mean, what is it, like, five in the morning?" The three started toward their destination.
    "Look out guys! Three blo-" Aelita asked, "What? Jeremy, are you okay?"
    "Um, yeah. The blocks just disappeared from the screen."
    "Yes, I took care of them." Aelita and Odd turned to face the speaker.
    "What? You're kidding; you couldn't have taken them out that quickly!"
    "No, I did." The three started back on-course.
    "I mean, I know you're fast, but..."
    "Well, remember that Lyoko boosts your natural abilities, so he's faster than usual here."
    "Yeah, I know, Einstein."
    "Huh. But the thing is, he wasn't visible on the screen when he went forward and attacked."
    "Really? You mean he's faster than the computer?"
    "Yeah, I think so. I'm still not sure how it's possible, but then again, I don't know how it was possible that he remembered return trips without being in the scanners, either. Some hornets coming up on your left!" Odd whipped around.
    "Laser Ar-" He stopped in the middle of his attack. "Hey! Leave some for the rest of us!"
    "Oh, um, sorry. I just thought-"
    "Okay, guys, that's enough! You need to get to the tower; like I said, it's really bad back there!"
    "Right." The three got to the tower with, at least for Aelita and Odd, no interruptions. The pink-haired Lyoko warrior stepped into the tower, digital ripples spreading through it.
    "So what do I do now, Jeremy?"
    "Oh, this is your first mission on Lyoko, isn't it? Well, you just have to wait for Aelita to deactivate the tower, then I'll launch a return to the past, and we'll all be back to yesterday."
    "Okay, got it."
    "Tower deactivated."
    "Return to the past!" The white beam emnated from the holosphere and expanded outward, covering everything in sight.
"So, November 26th again." Lee checked the clock, which read 5:30. An hour late for my morning training! he thought. I had better get started. He exited his room and closed the door quietly behind him.
    "What are you doing up so early?"
    "Huh?" Lee turned his head to the right to see Jim.
    "I was just going out for a training session."
    "You do know the gym's not open until 6:30."
    "Yes, sir; I was not going to the gym."
    "Okay, if you say so." Lee walked out of the dorm building toward the forest.
The Lyoko crew, save for Lee, was assembled at the school crossroads.
    "And you're sure he's going to be out of the room right after school tomorrow?"
    "Positive."
    "Great. How much time do you think we'll have?"
    "Probably about fifteen minutes."
    "Okay, we should be set up by then. Who was making the cake?"
    "Me."
    "All right, Yumi. Is it ready?"
    "Yeah, I'll stop by the house on my free hour this afternoon to pick it up."
    "Okay, great. Uh, what else..." Jeremy paused to remember the other party items.
    "Confetti?" It was Ulrich who responded.
    "I've got the package on the desk in my dorm. I'll try and remember to pick it up."
    "Okay, great. Who was in charge of the balloons and streamers?"
    "That's me. I have them; the balloons need to be blown up, though."
    "That's okay, Aelita, we could probably handle it in fifteen minutes. You said fifteen, right, Shikamaru?"
    "Yeah."
    "All right, was there anything else?" Jeremy looked around for any responses.
    "Okay, everyone, be sure to meet in Lee's and Shikamaru's room after school."
    "Right."
    "Mmm-hmm."
    "Whoo-hoo! Party time!" Ulrich rolled his eyes at Odd's comment and made his way to his first class.
"He's coming into the building!" Hinata said.
    "Ack! Hurry up, he'll be here any second!"
    "Don't rush me; this is an art!"
    "You're hanging streamers, Odd! Forget it; toss it over, hurry!" Odd passed the yellow roll of streamers to his roommate, who tore it, taped up the last section, and shoved the remainder into a drawer. Aelita hurriedly tied off the last balloon. Kiba batted it to the top of Lee's bed.
    "Ssh! He's coming!" The eight Lyoko warriors poised around the edges of Shikamaru's and Lee's room as Yumi flicked off the light switch. Footsteps lightly thumped across the hallway and stopped at the room in which the Lyoko crew was now. Aelita, Jeremy, Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Kiba, Hinata, and Shikamaru looked in anticipation as the doorknob turned. The door shifted and opened.
    "Surprise!" The light was turned on, and the eight jumped out to the center of the room. Lee jumped back a little, obviously not expecting a surprise party.
    "Happy birthday!"
"And you just let him get away?!"
    "Hey! It wasn't my fault, Grandma Tsunade!" He stopped, then continued. "He just put his hands behind his back, put one on his chest, and disappeared."
    "This explains how he's been able to make this many kidnappings without a trace, at least. But how are we going to hunt someone down if they can just wave a hand and teleport to another dimension?" The Hokage sighed. "This is going to be tough."
"C'mon, c'mon, open mine!"
    "No, open mine first!"
    "Okay, okay!" Lee chuckled and decided to open the present from Odd first. The blonde stuck his tongue out at his first-gift-opening competitor, Kiba. Lee strippd the tape off the badly-wrapped parcel and practically shredded the red wrapping paper until the gift was revealed.
    "So, do you like it?"
    "Um..." The birthday present from Odd in Lee's hands was a plastic, orange headband with two springs and pom-poms on the end of them. Lee tapped an antennae, which proceeded to bounce back and forth rapidly. The Lyoko crew laughed.
"What...? What...What happened?" The blonde girl leaned forward, sitting up. She looked around. She was at the edge of a meadow with a stream running through it. The water was very clear, and pebbles could be seen underneath the surface.
    "What's going on? It's not... a genjutsu, is it?" She folded her fingers together.
    "Release!" When the kunoichi reopened her eyes, nothing was different.
    "It's not working! What... happened, though?...I can't remember anything..." She stood up.
    "H-Hey! Ino?" She turned to the direction where she heard her name called.
    "Huh? Choji?" The brown-haired ninja walked over to his teammate. "What's going on?" Ino asked Choji. "I don't know," he responded. "I just showed up here a minute ago. I wandered around and saw you, and..."
    "I can't remember how I got here." She paused. "I guess you don't either?"
    "No, no idea." Ino sighed, a bit excessively. "Well, I guess we'll have to figure out something," she said, holding up her arms in a sort of shrugging position.
    "Yeah, I guess so."
Buah. Oh, and I am planning to end the series at chapter 50. Sorry if you guys do not like it. I will not completely conclude it, though, so if the last one gets enough faves, I will continue. ^^
