Aelita Is in Trouble
"Hey, Aelita, wait up," said Jeremie. "You know you are running a bit too fast for me, and I also have a question to ask you."
"Oh really? What is it then?" said Aelita. "And do not wait all day."
"Can you wait? I need to catch my breath. You run really fast, almost as fast as Ulrich," said Jeremie.
"How else do you think I can try to outrun XANA's monsters?" said Aelita.
"You've got a point there just remember I am not fast as you or the others," said Jeremie. "Now that I am ready, here is my question. Aelita, will you be my girlfriend?" Jeremie asked, turning red.
Aelita nodded her head yes, then fainted. Jeremie, being slow, tried to catch Aelita, but it was a little late as she hit her head hard on the ground. When Jeremie came over to see if she would be all right he picked up her head and laid it on his lap, but he did not notice the small sharp rock that was underneath her head. About five minutes later, she woke up with a headache. She looked up, seeing who was stroking her head, and saw that it was Jeremie. "Jeremie, what happened? And why does my head hurt?" asked Aelita in a weak voice.
"Thank goodness you are up. I asked you a question and you fainted. I tried to catch you, but I was slow so you hit the ground hard. Sorry about that," said Jeremie.
"Sorry, I do not quite remember the question," said Aelita very slowly.
Jeremie said, as he was looking into Aelita's eyes, "I think it is time to go back to school before Jim catches us out here."
"Yeah, we better, before it gets dark," said Aelita getting out of Jeremie's lap. On her way up, she got dizzy and almost blacked out again.
Jeremie was lucky enough this time and caught her. As he was holding her, he asked, "Princess, are you all right?"
"I don't know, Jeremie. I felt that I was going to pass out." said Aelita looking around, not paying attention to Jeremie.
"I think I should take you to the infirmary. I think you might have a concussion." said Jeremie. "I know you woke up and that is a good sign, but still I think Nurse Dorothy should take a look at you." As he was saying this, he noticed something red slowly running down Aelita's neck. He also did not notice the red that was on his pants.
"If you think that is best, lead the way," said Aelita.
It took Jeremie about fifteen minutes to walk back to the school with Aelita. She was having a little problem keeping upright and walking. "Why don't you talk to me about anything you want to," he said as they were about a hundred yards to the door from the infirmary, and getting tired of the quiet that was around them.
"What do you want me to say?" asked Aelita, slurring her words.
"Why don't you talk about one of your memories that you have recently remembered," said Jeremie, struggling to keep Aelita from falling down again.
"I had a dream last night of when I was about four years old. Mom and dad took me to the mountains that summer. There dad was teaching me how to swim mom did not like the idea, she thought I would try to swim when they were not watching and drown. Dad kept on telling her that it will be all right. That I am a smart girl and I never disobey them. One day as I..." Aelita never got to finish right then, because they were at the infirmary.
