Code: Problem!!!

A few hours later, Laci sticks her fork into the school lunch on her plate, she looks at it in disgust not knowing what it is; she always disliked school lunches.
Richie sits down in front of her at the lunch table,
"Hey Laci, why ya sitting here by yourself?" Laci shrugs, looking up at him,
"I dunno, i usually sit with my friends but I guess i came really early to lunch." Richie nods, "Why can't i meet your friends anyway?" Laci shakes her head,
"Its some trust issues some of them have with you, being Sissi's cousin and all. I tried to tell them you're cool but they didn't believe me. They'll warm up to you soon. I just have to wait a bit," Richie nods at her; Laci locks eyes with him, "What do you like doing anyway? Any hobbies?"
Richie smiles, "I like to sing."
Laci tilts her head, slightly more interested, "Really?"
Richie looks down, blushing slightly, "Yeah..."
Laci smiles softly, "Will you sing for me one day?"
Richie looks back up at her again, "Sure. I don't see why not."
"Oh, Yay!"
"But i usually sing in Japanese..."
"Japanese? My friend Yumi is Japanese and she likes singing too. It would be cool if you guys sung with each other."
Richie develops a sweat drop,
"Heheh, yeah," he scratches the back of his head.
Laci flashes a smile in his direction, Richie softly smiles back. He looks over her head to see his cousin and her poseé walking into the cafeteria, he sighs, "Ugh. Elizabeth is here."
Laci turns around, "Where? Let's go say hi," she smirks.
Richie makes a face, "I think its better to not to draw her attention." He says, taking a bite out of his sandwich.
"Eh, what's she gonna do to us anyway? Its been almost a year now. I think i know how to get my way around her."
Richie watches Sissi walk to the other side of the cafeteria then loses sight of her. Laci keeps her eyes on the cafeteria entrance, "....its a bit quiet.... i uh.... i need to go check something." She stands up from the table. Richie tilts his head, "What's wrong?" Laci starts to back away from the table, "I'm sorry, I'll come back later, but i have to go now. See ya later." She runs out the cafeteria; Richie sets his sandwich down and watches her leave, "Well. Okay, I'll see ya later.."
Laci runs over passed the bridge and she opens the manhole leading to the sewer; she jumps down and skateboards down to the factory.
She bursts into the factory doors, "Is X.A.N.A attacking????"
Jeremie turns around in the chair, "No. Why so worried?"
Laci blinks, "Well. I mean no one was at lunch so i just thought... ya know?"
Jeremie nods and smiles, "I get it. Don't fret though. There is just something trying to hack the system. It shouldn't be TOO hard to get rid of. I'm just scared that it might do something with Aelita's full virtualition process."
Laci nods, "Where is everyone?"
Jeremie looks towards the elevator towards the scanner, "Just checking." Laci blinks, "Hmm... why didn't you call me?"
Jeremie makes a guilty face, "Well i mean... you seemed busy with Richie so i just thought-"
Laci slams her hand down, "Oh come on Jeremie! The world is at stake."
Jeremie nods, "Well-."
Ulrich's panicked voice blars through air, "Jeremie! Jeremie! We have a problem!"
Jeremie turns his attention toward the screen, "Whats wrong???"
"There's weird red antibodies infecting the grass sector. Its destorying everything!" Jeremie starts typing rapidly, "Get yourselves out of there!" Laci runs over to the elevator that leads to the scanner room. Jeremie looks at her in his periferal vision, "Laci?! What are you doing???" Laci smirks as the elevator doors open, "Don't worry about it" she goes inside and watches the doors closes as Jeremie rolls his eyes and continues to type quickly, trying to identify the problem.
She enters the scanner room to see Odd waiting, sitting on the floor. He stands up when he notices her, "Laci."
Laci looks at him, "Odd. What's going on???"
Odd leans on the wall, "Something infected the system and Ulrich, Yumi and Aelita went in to check it out. What's going on in there?"
Laci makes a face, "The infection went haywire and now they're trapped in there."
Odd's eyes widen, "No way!"
Laci puts a hand on the scanner, "There has to be a way to get them o-"
The scanner doors open and Yumi comes out of the scanner, falling on Laci.
Laci squeals, "Yumi!" Odd helps Yumi off Laci. Laci jumps up, "What happened in there???" Yumi snarls, "The stupid computer glitched out on us!"
Another scanner's door open and Aelita falls out of it, "Uhn..." she stays on the ground; Yumi helps her up. Laci stares at the last scanner, "Where's Ulrich??" Aelita looks at her weakly, "He used his sword to get us out of there... i have no idea how he'll get out..." Laci stares at the scanner, ".....Well I guess I'm going in then."
"Woah!" Odd yells, "Thats way too dangerous."
Laci clenches her fists, "I'm not going to sit back and let my friend die because its 'dangerous'." Yumi gives her a stern look, "Odd's right Laci.. its dangerous and-"
Laci steps into the scanner, "No one's stopping me so might as well go." The scanner doors close and electric bolts surround the scanner. Odd bangs on the scanner, "Laci!" The bolts shock him and he steps back, "Ugh... that girl.."
