Normal P.O.V

It was three days since Odd and Ally's talk in the woods. Friday was now on their hands which meant the end of the week. Ally hadn't be avoiding Odd as much. She didn't talk to him as much as she had before, but she didn't ignore him. This was making Odd think he had a much better chance with asking her. His confidence had been rising more lately, but not enough.

It was after school, Jeremie was in his room as usual, and Ally took Ulrich to a training room at Tom's place so he could teach him some of the training she went through. Which left Odd hanging out this his “cousin” and Yumi.

“So I've noticed that Romain Le Goff (A/N: Romain appears in the episode "Contact" as an actor. He plays the part of Jim in Odd's short film, Natural Grandeur.) has been paying a lot of attention to Ally lately.” Yumi said as they walked in the park. She cut her eyes at Odd to see his reaction. His eyes got a little bigger and he got this curious, somewhat anger look to his face. Yumi smiled to herself.

“Yeah, so have I.” Aileta said, getting what Yumi was doing. “Almost every time she's not talking to someone or doing something important, he comes over and talks to her. I think he might like her.”

“Ally's a social butterfly sometimes. Besides, I know a lot of people find her interesting cause she's different. I bet he just thinks she cool, so he's trying to be good friends with her.” Odd said.

“Yeah, then ask her out.” Yumi added. Odd looked at her.

“Probably not. I don't think Romain would. I mean Ally doesn't seem his type.” Odd said a little softly.

“Only your type...” Aileta muttered where only Yumi could hear, not Odd.

“Well, I've also noticed Matthieu Ducrocq,” Yumi began, “doing the same thing. But stronger. Those two have always talked and I've noticed him watching her with one of those dreamy like looks.” Odd's eyes seemed to narrow at this. “I think he really likes her.”

“Yeah, I've noticed it too. But you also have to remember, Ally is like Ulrich when it come to liking. She has more then half the boy population at this school crushing over her and going crazy about her. Just like Ulrich has more the half the girl population doing that with him. I even think Nicolas likes her. They way he looks at her when Sissi comes around to bug Ulrich.” Aileta said with a big smile, getting both Odd and Yumi instead of just Odd.

“Doesn't mean they'll try anything...” Odd muttered.

“But seriously. I really think Matthieu has a thing for her.” Aileta said getting closer to Odd when she said it. Odd looked at her.

“You two are just trying to get me mad and annoyed aren't you?” Odd asked. Both girls laughed.

“Odd, we're trying to give you a hint. You need to ask Ally out before someone else does and she says yes. Not that I think she will to anyone else, but still. You never know what she'll say. You have to ask her!” Yumi said walking around Aileta to the other side of Odd. Odd sighed.

“I'm to nervous. More nervous then I've ever been when asking out a girl.” he said.

“You two are so close. She tells you almost everything. You know more about her then we do. You have a really good chance Odd.” Aileta said.

“I've been telling myself that, but I just don't seem to wanna listen.” he sighed.

“Well, you got to.” Yumi said, giving him a one arm hug. She was about to say more when she saw Ulrich and Ally walking up to them. “Hi you two.” she said. They both waved.

“How was the W.P.A stuff, Ulrich?” Aileta asked. He sighed and rubbed his head.

“Tiring. I've never been through something like that. I wanna go more often.” he said. Ally smiled.

“It is pretty tough, but you get pretty strong with it.” she said. “How are y'all?” she asked.

“Fine,” Aileta answered for all three of them.

“Come on, lets head back to school.” Odd said turning back to school.

They all walked back, talking about random stuff like Lyoko, W.P.A, training, birds, clouds, dogs, and monkeys. No one knew how monkeys was brought up, but it was. They sat down at the “GREAT BENCH” and still kept talking. That's when he came up. Romain Le Goff came up with a nervous look on his face.

“Ally, can I talk to you alone?” he asked. She smiled sweetly and nodded.

“Be back in a few.” she told the others. She got up and walked with Romain far away from ear shot and site of the others. Odd's eyes narrowed on Romain as they walked away. Everyone else seemed to notice this.

“Told you...” Yumi muttered. Odd rolled his eyes and looked away from the direction Romain and Ally went. He had a mad look on his face.

“What's wrong Odd?” Ulrich asked. Odd snorted.

“Nothing...” he muttered. He got up and angrily walked to the vending machines.

“So what'd you wanna talk to me about?” Ally asked him as they stopped walking.

“Well...Ally... I've noticed something lately...A feeling...And I really like it...I've been thinking about it. And I've figured it might be good to ask...” he mumbled.

“Ask what?” Ally asked although she already knew what was coming.

“Ally...Will you...Go out with me?” he asked. She smiled kindly. She hated what she knew was about to come out of her mouth. She hated hurting someone that didn't deserve it. But she had to do it.

“Romain...” she began her smile fading. “I'm sorry Romain. I really do like you...” she put her hand out and touched his shoulders as his face sunk. “as a friend.” she said. She sighed and nodded. “I'm sorry.”

“It's okay. I rather you told me the truth then do that pity thing and gone out with me anyway. Even though from you I wouldn't mind that.” he said a smile coming to his face. She smiled and laughed slightly. “But it wont happen.”

“Still friends through right?” she asked.

“Yeah.” he said. She hugged him friendly.

“And I'll still help you with our acting on Monday.” she said. Nodded and they walked back to the school.

When Ally saw all the others at the vending machines, she waved by to Romain and ran up to them.

“Hey guys. I'm back!” she said happily. Everyone smiled back at her, all but Odd that is. His eyes narrowed again when he saw her smile. He wondered is Romain had asked her out, and if he had, if she say yes or no.

“What did Romain want?” he asked leaning back against the wall. With some soda in his hand. Ally noticed his attitude had turned somewhat sour but she did her best to ignore it.

“Well,” she said slowly. She reached forward and grabbed the drink out of Odd's hand and took a drink of it. “He just asked me out.” she said plainly. Odd's eyes narrowed even more. Yumi rolled her eyes, knowing that was going to be the answer.

“And you said?” Odd asked folding his arm over his chest. Ally took another drink of his soda.

“What do ya think I said?” she asked. “I said no. I only like him as a friend, and a friend only.” she said putting the drink back in Odd's hand. He looked relived, very relived. He looked down in the cup and smiled when he saw it almost gone. He looked back up at Ally, eye brows raised. She smiled and winked at him. He rolled his eyes and lightly chuckled.

About an hour later, Ally, Odd, and Ulrich were kicking around a soccer ball. Jeremie decided to come out of his room and he sat around with Yumi and Aileta, watching the three play around. Ally kneed the ball over to Ulrich and he hit it with his head to Odd. Who kneed it two times and let it drop to his feet. He kicked it up in the air with his toe and hit it with his head to Ally. She trapped it and kicked it back.

“Hey Ulrich! Whens your next soccer game?” Yumi asked him. He turned his head towards Yumi, not seeing the ball Odd headed to him.

“Uhhh...” Ulrich began.

“Ulrich watch out!” Ally yelled. But it was to late, the ball his him in the side of the face.

“Ow!” he yelled whipping his head over in Odds direction. Odd was trying his hardest not to laugh. Ulrich looked at Ally who was doing the same thing. Then at the same time, both of them cracked up laughing. Ulrich was about to growled when he heard the others start laughing too. He looked over at them then growled. He grabbed the ball the through it hard at Odds head. Odd ducked and it went behind him. Odd smiled ear to ear at Ulrich. Ulrich rolled his eyes.

“Sorry Ulrich. That was just funny to see that happen to ya. The soccer star.” Ally giggled, trying to recover from the laughing. Ulrich sighed.

“Okay, okay, enough.” he moaned. Everyone started to stop laughing.

“Oh, that was funny.” Odd sighed. Ulrich glared at him, but then smiled when he saw someone walking up from behind Odd. The person was looking at Ally.

“Your not going to be laughing here in a second.” Ulrich said to him. Odd gave him a confused look. Then he felt a hand pat his shoulder.

“Hey Odd.” a boy said. Odd looked at him and he felt his face short of drop. It was Matthieu Ducrocq. Odd remembered what Yumi and Aileta said and he felt a tight feeling in his gut.

“Hey Matthieu.” he said back, acting like nothing was wrong. Matthieu said hi to everyone else then went up to Ally.

“Hey Al.” he said. She smiled at him.

“Hey Matt, what's up?” she asked him. He smiled almost ear to ear. He grabbed her arm gently, something that wasn't new to Ally, but it was to Odd. Odd felt anger boiling inside him and he growled under his breath but he did his best not to show it.

“Nothing much. Come here, I need to talk to you.” he said gently pulling her to follow him.

“Uh, okay.” she said beginning to follow him. She looked back at the others and shrugged. Matt lead her around the corner. Once they were gone, Odd glared at where they went.

“Jealous Odd?” Aileta asked him.

“No.” he huffed, folding his arms.

“Yes you are.” Ulrich said nudging him.

“No I'm not. Leave me alone.” he snapped walking towards the dorms. The others looked at each other, almost worriedly.

“You don't really think he could be that mad that Matt wanted to talk to her alone?” Aileta asked.

“Oh I think he is. That's the second guy today. I say he is very jealous.” Ulrich said.

“Lets hope he doesn't think she'd say yes, cause I know Ally's gunna say no to Matt. She likes Odd, not him.” Yumi said. The other nodded.

“Are you sure you wont go out with me?” he asked her, having a hold of her right hand with both of his hands.

“I'm sure Matt. I'm sorry.” she said not wanting to see the hurt that might be in his eyes.

“You already have somebody?” he asked. “You like someone else?”

“No I don't have anybody and yeah I do like somebody else.” she said glancing over at the corner.

“Let me guess...” Matt said letting go of her hand and acting like he was thinking. “Odd?” he asked. She looked at him a little surprised but she didn't say anything. “Yup, its Odd.” he said with a smile. “Don't worry about anything, I'm sure pretty soon I'll see the both of you together. To tell you the truth, you two do seem perfect together.”

“You're not just saying that to be nice, are you?” she asked. He laughed.

“No, I'm not. I'm telling you the truth. You two do seem perfect.” Ally smiled.

“Matt, I'm sor-.” she began. He shook his head.

“Don't say sorry. I understand why. Perfectly.” he smiled at her. She sighed and her smile grew bigger. “Good luck with him.” he said patting her hand. “See you around.” he said as he began to walk off.

“See ya!” Ally called back waving. 'Dang, even he thinks that...' Ally thought before walking back to the others. When she got there she noticed Odd was gone.

“Hey guys, where's Odd?” she asked looking around for him.

“He went to our room.” Ulrich said. Ally bit her lip but smiled and nodded.

“So, what did Matthieu want Ally?” Aileta asked.

“Same thing Romain wanted.” she sighed.

“He asked you out?” Yumi asked.

“Yup.” Ally responded. “But I said no...again...”

“I think it's ask Ally out day.” Jeremie laughed.

“Yeah. Maybe it is.” Ally laughed. She then turned towards the dorm rooms. “I'm gunna go see Odd. See y'all later.” She said as she walked off. She waved to them and they waved back.

Ally knocked on Odd's door.

“Odd? It's me Ally.” she called out. She heard him moving around then he stopped.

“Come in. Its unlocked.” he said. She opened the door and saw him sitting on his bed with Kiwi next to him. Kiwi jumped down and ran over to her, tail wagging like mad. She smiled and picked him up. After she hugged the small dog she put him down and shut the door.

“Why did you leave everybody else?” she asked him. He shrugged and didn't look at her.

“Just felt like it.” he said. Ally nodded taking what he said.

“Alright. I'll take that.” she said folding her arms and not moving from the spot she was in. There was a pause between the two before Odd asked,

“So what did Matt want?” Ally smiled knowing he was going to ask that.

“Same thing Romain wanted. He asked me out.” she said plainly. Odd looked up at her and stared at her like he was trying to find something out without asking.

“And you said?” he asked her. She sighed.

“I said no. Of course. Matt's just a friend.” she said. Odd smiled to himself. But he wanted to ask her really why she said no.

“So two times today you were asked out huh Ally?” he asked her. She nodded. “And you turned down both of them in one day. Nice. But are you ever gunna say yes to a guy? Or are you just going to be a loner or something?” he asked. She smiled more.

“Well, I really didn't like those two boys in that way. And...Well...Indovino che direi finalmente sì ad un tipo...”(1)(Translation:I guess I'd say yes to a guy...Eventually...) She said leaning back against the door.

“Why? Do you not like the guys? Are you looking for the right guy? Do you already like somebody?” Odd asked sitting farther on the edge of the bed.

“Non gradisco i tipi come quello. Come amici sì. E sì, sto cercando il tipo che di destra indovino. Non lo ho trovato appena ancora. O forse ho ma gli non ho detto ancora, o sappia se realmente ritiene lo stesso... e sì, io indovinano che gradisco qualcuno.” (2) (Translation: I don't like the guys like that. As friends yes. And yes, I am looking for the right guy I guess. I just haven't found him yet. Or maybe I have but I haven't told him yet, or know if he really does feel the same...And yes, I guess I do like somebody.) She said as she pushed a piece of hair out of her face. He smiled at her. He could tell she had someone on her mind, but he wasn't going to ask who.

“Okay.” he said falling back on his bed. “I'm looking for the right girl. Haven't found her yet, but I'm looking, and hoping. I mean I have a few girls in mind but non conosco che cosa ritengono, in modo da non sono sicuro.”(3) (Translation: I don't know what they feel, so I'm not sure.”) Ally pushed off of the door and sat down next to him. She patted his knee and looked at him.

“Sono sicuro che la troverete.”(4) (Translation: I'm sure you'll find her.) She said softly to him. He turned his head to where he could see her. She was smiling at him with her soft brown eyes, sucking him into them. 'I think I already have...' he thought wanting so bad to say it out loud. But he just smiled. After a few more seconds Ally looked away to Kiwi at her feet. She patted her knees and he jumped up onto them. She petted him for a minute or two, not paying attention to the eyes laying on her. She then slowly turned to Odd, giving him time to look away.

“Still grumpy?” she asked him. He gave her a weird look.

“I never was.” he said. “You're making up crap.” she smiled at him innocently.

“Oh I am?” she asked.

“Yeah...” he muttered sitting up.

“That didn't sound to happy.” she said looking away from him with a smile.

“I'm not grumpy.”

“Yes you are.”

“Not.”

“Grumpy pants.”

“I'm not Grumpy pants.”

“Yes you are a GP.”

“No I'm not.”

“Yes.”

“No.

“Yes.”

“No!”

“Yes.”

“No!”

“Yeeessssss!”

“NOOO!” he turned to her fast and grabbed her. He started tickling her and slightly pushing her down. She was laughing like mad, trying to get him to stop. Her laughing and face was making him laugh. Soon, it got too much for Ally.

“Odd...Stop! I can't...Breath!” she laughed. He stopped and she gasped for air, but she was still giggling. After a second they both noticed the position they were in and Ally rolled her eyes. Odd pushed himself up off her and sat on the edge of his bed.

“How come we always get in that position?” he asked her. She giggled and shrugged.

“Cause we're cool like that.” she said, trying to sound cool.

“Yes, we are.” Odd responded. They looked at each other and just stared. Locking eyes completely. A few moment later, Ally looked down at her watch and sighed.

“I best be going. I have my little walk time to do, then some work to get done. I might not do it but whatever.” she told him, he smiled at her.

“Alright.”

“You wanna come along?” she asked, standing up. Odd shook his head.

“Nah. I'm fine here. And a little tired.” Odd yawned.

“Alrighty then. I'll see you later Odd.” she said going to the door. He followed her to it like he always did. She opened the door and Odd held it open the rest of the way, leaning on the door somewhat.

“See you later Al.” he said back. She smiled at him and walked to the exit of the hall way. Odd watched her go till she was out of sight and he closed his door. He through himself down on the bed. Guy's were starting to get more into Ally lately, and started at gain more guts, Odd thought he needed to as well. If he didn't then he might be screwed.

--- A few minutes later...

Ulrich came into Odd's and his room. He through off his shoes and laid back on his bed.

“What's up Odd?” he asked. Odd just sighed. Ulrich sat up and looked at him. He was scratching Kiwi, who was in his lap. “Anything...happen while I was out?” Odd just sighed again. “Odd...”

Odd's P.O.V

“Nothing really.” I said.

“Oh really?” he asked.

“Yup.”

“Did Ally come and see you?”

“Yeah,”

“How did it go?”

“Good.”

“What did you two talk about?”

Why was he asking so many freaking questions? It was getting so annoying. I figured the only way to get him to shut up was to give him what he wanted, though part of me didn't. Guess I'd have to anyway. He would never shut up if I didn't.

“We talked about what Matt wanted, then about girls and guys. Then we talked about my grumpiness she said I so happened to have. Then...She told me she was going for a walk and if I wanted to go, and I said no. I was to tired. Then she left.” I decided to leave the tickling part out, just to be on the safe side, if there was one anymore.

“Oh...Cool.” Ulrich said sounding disappointed, like he was expecting more. I just shrugged.

“Yeah I guess.” I muttered.

“You like her coming to see you without one of us with her?” he asked. I looked up at him. Still asking questions. He had only said one sentence that wasn't a question since he got in the room. He was a question asking fool today.

“Yeah. You know I did.” I said, making him smile. “She just makes me feel...I dunno...I'm comfortable around her.” I said, starting to think aloud. “I'm myself you know. She brings out something...In Lyoko...I feel stronger when I'm next to her or fighting with her. Or even protecting her. Like I can do anything. She's one of those extraordinary girls...I guess its one of those feelings of love or something...” Ulrich was now really smiling at me, I guess finding this somewhat funny. He shook his head and smiled more.

“How long have you been in love with her again? From the first trip to Lyoko? From the rubber band thing? From her fainting? From her starting to hang out with us? From the beginning?” Ulrich asked. I sighed and leaned back on my hands.

"I was half in love with her by the time she sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are." I laughed, letting Kiwi jump down. Ulrich laughed along with me.

"True." he laughed. We quieted down and sat there, saying nothing. Suddenly, he broke the silence by sighing. "Odd, go ask her already. It's killing me. You talk about her all the time. It's so easy to see that you two like each other. Go ask her before time runs out. Other guys are getting the courage too and none of them are in love with her like you are." he said to me. I sighed. I had to ask her, and soon. Already in one day two guys asked her out, she turned them down. Apparently they are starting to sense that they're time might be up to ask her. Just like I feel.

"Alright. I'm gunna go ask her." I stood up, feeling all this confidence in me. "Wish me luck." I said to him. He smiled huge.

"Good luck buddy. Don't stay out to late and party to hard when she says yes." he told me. I chuckled and left the room. Right when I closed the door, nervousness swept over me. 'Here I go...'

Normal P.O.V

Odd walked towards the park, getting more nervous with every step he took. He wasn't sure what he would say to her, how he would tell her he loved her. Though he knows he has somewhat already, but to really tell her. As he got closer to the park, he remembered something he had wrote just the day before. He reached in his pocket and pulled it out, smiling as he looked it over. It was a poem.

“I swear this is a once in a life time thing for me...To write one good like this...” He muttered to himself. He read it over five times, getting it good in his head. Then he stuck it back in his pocket. He recited it over and over out loud before being sure he had it memorized. Then he started back up for the park. It took a while. About fifteen minutes, but he finally found Ally.

She was walking on a log on the ground, quietly singing to herself. Her eyes cast down at her feet, her bare feet. Odd saw her boots over by a tree, not far away from her. Odd watched her for a second. She started walking on her toes on the log. Then doing light spins and such. Like she was in gymnastics and preforming on the balance beam, or she was a ballerina or something. Odd smiled watching her, somewhat swooning over her. How pretty she looked, with the sun coming in between the tree branches. Casting shadows across the ground, sometimes she'd get a shadow casted half way or all the way on her, but she was soon to move and have the sun back on her. She turned, facing more of Odd's way and crossed her right leg across her left. Pushing them tight against each other, she was about to bend her knees when she saw something purple at the corner of her eye. She looked and saw Odd, standing there, smiling at her. She loosened her legs and dropped her hands limply to her sides. He smiled bigger at her and she smiled back.

“Hey Odd. You decided to come out of yer room?” she asked him. “To join my little walk around the park?”

“Yeah, I guess. But I don't think you're walking around the park right now.” he said. She giggled.

“I know. Just little bored.” she sighed. “So what's up?” she jumped off the log and walked over to get her boots. She grabbed them, and began to put them on.

“Nothing much...” Odd said looking away from her to a tree opposite of her. He was getting more nervous. He stared at the tree, in thought, not noticing Ally was watching him.

“Odd? Ya act like somethin's buggin' ya. What is it?” she asked, getting his attention.

“Huh? Oh nothing.” he said fast, not making eye contact with her.

“Odd, is there something ya wanna tell me 'bout? Somethin ya wanna ask meh?” She asked getting up closer to him. He looked everywhere but at her eyes.

“Ummm...” he mumbled.

“Odd.” she said a little sterner.

“Well, you see it isn't something bad, or wrong...I don't think...No it isn't. It's just hard to explain...To say...” Odd muttered. Ally tilted her head to the side a little, like a dog. Odd looked right at her soft brown eyes and he started sweating.

“Odd what's wrong?” she asked, getting about a foot or two in front of him.

“Ally I-...” he sighed. “I have something to tell you.” Ally nodded, showing she was listening and ready. He took a deep breath. “No wait...I wrote you something.”

“Ya did?” she asked softly. He nodded his head.

“I have it by memory.” he pulled it out of his pocket anyway and unfolded it. But he didn't look at it. He put it down by his side. “You wanna hear it?” he asked. She didn't say or do anything for a second, then she nodded. She kind of knew what was coming, but she didn't listen to herself, wanting to be very surprised.

“Okay.” Odd sighed. He closed his eyes for a second then opened them, and looked Ally right in the eyes. That's when he started.

“My heart is yours
This I want you to know,
And it will always follow you
No matter where you go,
For you have woven round my heart
A web of bliss divine,
Upon a loom of wondrous love
I always will enshrine,
You are a master weaver
With charms beyond compare,
A tender smile, a kindly word
And understanding rare,
I too have tried to weave a web
Of bliss around your heart,
For even an apprentice
Tries his hand at art,
I weave with deep sincerity
Although mistakes are made,
Always faithful one fine day
That I will make the grade,
My heart is yours, my sweet one
Answer love's warm plea,
The web I weave awaits your touch...” Odd took a deep breath, looking even more directly into Ally's surprised, but warm eyes. A small smile forming on his face. He folded the paper fast and put it in Ally's hand, holding her hand along with it.

“Please...Give your heart...to me...” he finished. Ally's face got even more surprised. Ally wasn't only surprised about how good the poem was, and how it was directed right at her, but she was really surprised he kept eye contact with her the whole time. She could tell he met every word of the poem. He wrote it from his heart...Just like her father used too...

Odd smiled more and got closer to her.

“Ally, I meant and mean every word of that poem. Every word...every letter...I know I have told you pretty much what that poem means before but that was just saying it. Not really telling you...And I wanna really tell you...I really do. So I figured I should do it now, while I have the chance.” he gulped and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the hand that wasn't holding Ally's hand. “Ally, you mean everything to me. You're my world...When I first saw you...Yeah, looks got my attention I have to admit that. But dang, you look so different then all the others. You had a different feel to you. A different look, you stood out. Then your eyes...The first thing I thought was 'Wow she's pretty.' and you are. Then I got to know you...Now you're...absolutely gorgeous...Inside and out...You're sweet, mysterious, kind, tough, independent, beautiful...extraordinary...You make me feel like I can do anything...I feel so different around you then around anyone else...I feel like I can be more like...me...Like I could tell you anything...I think about you often...A lot of times when you're not around...I long to be with you...To be able to tell you anything...I can't around this time because what I wanna tell you is something a guy might tell his girlfriend...” Odd paused, watching Ally's face. She looked surprised like before, and she was listening. Also he saw something dancing in her eyes. A feeling of some short. He hoped it was a happy one. A very happy one.

“With all the girls I've dated,” Odd started up again, “I have never felt something this strong towards them. Never felt this feeling before...I had a crush on them...I simple teenage crush...But this feeling with you is different...Like I'd do anything for you, no matter how much danger it puts me in. Like I would protect you with my life...And if you were gone I'd be crushed...You've got me staying up at night thinking about you...When I found out you were an Agent and had that Titanium body and all, that feeling got stronger. Now you were way different. You'd think someone like you, with the body and all would be mean or something. Or quite and not friendly. But you aren't. You act like a normal girl. Like nothings wrong with you...Which nothing is...every thing's perfect about you...”

“I'm not-” Ally started shaking her head, but Odd shook his and cut her off.

“No, don't say that...You are. You're perfect to me...Everything I need and always wanted in a girl. One thats not like the others...Al...Ally...When I kissed you...not to long ago...I was longing to do it for a long time...I meant that kiss too...Also the other thing I said...Ti voglio bene...I meant that too...Ally it's just...What I'm going at...is...” he got just a little bit closer to her, his eyes locked on hers. Never looking away.

“What I mean...trying to say is...” he sighed one of those soft, sweet sighs. “Ally Davison...I love you...”

She had heard him say this before, in a different language. It had taken her breath anyway then, and it also did now. Just it took her breath away more since she heard it in the main language she speaks. He said it in his own language. Not in a different one. What took her breath away more was when he took both her hands in his own. He had gotten very close to her now. They were now inches apart. Their eyes never left each others...Not at all...

It took her a minute to get her air back and to speak, but she finally did.

“Odd...I...I...” was all she could master at the moment. She was starting to get hooked and lost in his violet eyes. Suddenly she felt that same feeling she had felt on the bridge that day, after she had exploded on Jeremie. Odd also felt the same feeling. They got very close, closer then they did on the bridge. Both of them slowly moving in, for what looked like would be a kiss. They stopped moving when their lips very less then an inch away from each other. They could feel each others breath on their lips.

“Ally...” Odd whispered, his hand sliding up her arm to her shoulder. He rubbed it for a second then let his hand fall down to her elbow. For some reason, she wasn't sure why, she pulled the hand Odd was holding with the paper in it out of his grasp and she put the paper in her pocket. Then, as if she had done it millions of times, both her hands automatically rested on his collar bone. Both his hands went to each of her elbows.

“Hmmm...” she hummed softly.

“Ally Davison...” Odd whispered quieter then he was before. “Do you feel the same?...Do you love me?...Will you...Give your heart to me...?” he asked. There was a pause...A short pause. But then they both got closer. Now they could both barely feel the other ones lips brushing against their own. But neither of them made a move to connect them. Odd wanted Ally to do it, and Ally was trying to think of the best answer. Of the best way to tell him.

Right before Ally was about to connect their lips something came back to her. Hitting her like a ton of bricks. Snapping her back to reality. Back to how her life worked...And how things are to go. And it hurt her. She didn't feel that light, awesome feeling she really liked. The feeling she had around Odd when things we happy and feeling right. She felt hurt...Down...depressed...Sad...

Suddenly she pulled away from him and backed up a few steps, shaking her head and looking at the ground.

“No...” she muttered.

“What Al? What's wrong?” Odd asked, wishing and hoping that it wasn't because of him. That she really did love him and was going to say yes. He hoped it was a little something. Or she wanted to tell him in a different way. He wanted that so bad, but something told him his luck was short that day.

“I'm-...I'm sorry Odd...” she muttered.

“What...?”

“I can't love you, Odd! I cannot feel that way! I can't!” she cried tears forming in her eyes. “I can't love you...”

Here it is:

“I do understand...That's what you don't understand...That I do...You just don't feel the same way about me like I do you...And I understand that...No need to give some big explanation...” he said.

“No...It's not like that...”

“Then what is it like then? Are you not even allowed to love? To show feelings for someone like I do you? Not allowed to truly act like a true...human?” he asked her. She looked at her booted feet.

“Something like that...” she muttered.
