The greater portion of the group thinks its time Aelita and Jeremie were together, and they have no Idea! With Odd as the ringleader of the matchmaking brigade who knows where this could go?
Disclaimer: I don't own CL though I wish I did.
Phase one
Yumi and Ulrich just stared at Odd who was laughing uncontrollably on his bed. He had just told them his most devious plan yet.
"Odd, you wouldn't. It just doesn't seem right" Yumi started she hadn't really thought odd was capable of this.
"Oh come on Yumi" Odd said panting slightly "We'll be doing them a big favor, besides imagine how much quicker research will be if we have two genii working as one?"
"He does have a point" Ulrich stated "It would be a lot better for both off them"
"So you'll help? Great! Operation Mr. and Mrs. Einstein is now under way." Odd said over enthusiastically"here's the plan" he whispered something in there ear.
"No there not mature enough to handle something like that Odd" Yumi said "I suggest we start slower"
"Alright" Odd grudgingly agreed "We'll do that later, let's plan what t do tomorrow"
The small group planned there devious plots unbeknown to anyone until it was time for Yumi to leave
The next day…
"Hey Einstein, Princess. How's it going?" said Odd with a small smirk on his face as he went to get some hot chocolate from the machine
"Fine" they both responded simultaneously, just a little too quickly.
"Really" Odd replied in a casual tone, tying to sound interested "By the way, that's a lovely shade of vermillion you two are sporting."
"Quiet Odd" They said once again at the exact same time. There faces steadily turning redder.
"Hey guys, say you didn't go to the beach without us did you? You look like you got sunburn pretty bad." Yumi said appearing at the door.
"Oh come on guys you've taunted them enough, leave these two lovebirds alone. What's the good news Jeremie?"
"Huh?" Jeremie responded looking up quickly. He had been two busy looking at his feet to hear.
"Oh look guys you've stupefied 'em, well c'mon lets get ready for class." Ulrich said taking his leave
"Yea see you later!" Yumi said in a cheery voice as she and Odd left.
Once she had passed the lunch building she waited a minute, then a smile spread across her face. Jeremie and Aelita were holding hands. She walked happily back to Ulrich's room, everything was going according to plan.
The classroom was almost empty, only Aelita and Jeremie were inside it. It was still a while before class. Odd just smiled it was his turn Part 2 of Phase 1 was now underway. He took a deep breath and turned to Josephina, she was widely considered to be the most beautiful girl in the ninth grade.
"You know your cue right?" Odd asked, this part off the mission was very risky. If even the slightest thing went awry it could lengthen the gap and not close it.
Josephina just nodded.
Then Odd turned and entered the room taking his usual seat behind Aelita. He summed up his courage and got ready to let it out. He was glad he was good at Drama. Sorry Einstein but you'll thank me later.
"Wow Aelita, You look really nice today! Have you done something different with your hair? 'Cause I don't think you could have improved that award winning smile" Odd said very suddenly, glad it was out he never would have said that normally
"Um, thank you Odd" Aelita said turning slightly pink. She didn't notice the death glare Jeremie was giving
"Oh shoot, will you look at that! I forgot my backpack at the drink machine. Gotta run!" Odd said dashing out of the room, glad it was her turn.
"You do have the cash on you, right?" She whispered when Odd appeared
Odd nodded, pulling out his wallet and removing four twenties. He, Ulrich and Yumi all agreed it was worth the money each giving twenty bucks with the exception of Ulrich who gave forty.
Josephina, after seeing the money, strutted into the room and sat down at the table next to Jeremie.
"Hi" she said waving to Jeremie with her hand "funny, all these years in the same class and I never caught your name."
"Je…Jeremie Belpois" He said stumbling over his own name, he was one of the few who didn't have a crush on her but it was still very unexpected.
Jeremie, so flustered, didn't notice Aelita's eyes narrowing and her lips curving into a frown.
"Oh shoot, I forgot. I have to go see Ulanda. See you around Jeremie" She said waving once more as she hurried out the door.
Once she was out she snagged the money and was on her way without another word to Odd.
"What was that all about Jeremie?" asked Aelita in a somewhat Irritated tone
"What about you and Odd? hmm… what's going on there?" Jeremie countered
Meanwhile Odd winced. Had they overdone it? This wasn't quite the reaction he had expecting. He pressed his ear to the wall, debating whether he should go in and stop it before it got to bad. Then Jeremie did something unexpected.
"I'm sorry I talked to you like that, can you forgive me?" his voice quivered a little bit
"Hmmm…" Aelita screwed up her face like she was thinking hard about it "Alright, but I got my eye on you!" she giggled pointing at her eyes and then at Jeremie
Jeremie laughed along "Darn you caught me Princess! I guess I'll have to repent from my wicked ways."
The to fell into uncontrollable laughter. A grin slowly spread across his face. His co-conspirators would be overjoyed. They may even be ready for Phase two…
