Quick reminder: I don't own "Code: Lyoko," or anything directly involved with the show, I'm just a teenager who liked it and would like to contribute a fanfic. So sue me. Wait. No. Please don't. I have no money.

CHAPTER ONE: A VISIT FROM AELITA

The scene opens on Jeremy's dorm room. Jeremy is in his chair by his computer, Ulrich is sitting on Jeremy's bed, Yumi is standing on the other side of Ulrich, Aelita's face is on Jeremy's monitor, and Odd is squatting on the floor on the other side of Jeremy. Everyone is smiling.

"I think our good old buddy XANA is losing his touch!" Odd quickly stated. "I mean, come on! He infected a few toy planes!"
Pushing his glasses further up his nose, Jeremy shot a quick grin at Aelita.
"Maybe so," Aelita chuckled, "but anything infected with the essence of XANA becomes deadly."
"I agree," Jeremy replied.
Yumi sat down next to Ulrich.
"It was Ulrich that saved the day, though", Yumi told her friends. "He's the one who came up with the plan to lure those hornets away from Aelita and me."
Ulrich blushed as Odd smiled mischievously.
"What about me! I'm the one who sacrificed himself to kill those crabs! And I STILL got shot!"
More laughter.
"Well, it's getting pretty late guys..." Yumi started. "I'd better go off home."
"See ya!" Jeremy told her.
"Yeah, see ya!" Odd echoed.
Yumi turned to Ulrich, and they grinned at each other. She turned around and headed out the room.
"We'd better get down for dinner," Ulrich said aloud.
"They're serving nachos today...finally, something edible!" Odd complained.
"I'll talk to you later, Aelita." Jeremy calmly told her.
"Okay, I'll see you then!" Aelita winked as she signed off.

A spark quickly shot out of an outlet in the construction warehouse fifty miles away from the city. An eerie purple mist slowly oozed from it, wrapping around in the air. It twisted around as it engulfed a nearby vehicle. The radio inside the vehicle shimmered, then displayed a bull's- eye with a line emerging from the top and three from the bottom, shaped vaguely like an 'A'. XANA had claimed another inanimate object as a weapon of destruction.

Jeremy was now sitting in his bed. He blushed at the thought of Aelita's wink. He was afraid to admit it to her, but he had an incredible crush on her. It was unbearable. He kept thinking of that night, about a week before, when Aelita was out of Lyoko and she was taking pictures of them in a photo booth.
He sat up, and moved to his desk. He opened a drawer and pulled out a strip of film. He stared at a particular picture, one showing Aelita wearing Jeremy's glasses. He smiled as a tear opened in is eye.
The screen flickered on, with Aelita's face.
"Hey there!" she beamed. Her eyes focused on the strip in his hands.
"Oh, what's that?"
Jeremy, surprised by her appearance, glanced down at the pictures. He realized his mistake and began to blush.
"It's just...you know..."
"Know what?" Aelita slyly grinned.
"The...the...uhh...the pictures that we...you know...we..." he stammered. He had never been this embarrassed, talking to her! He was afraid that his cover would be blown, although he suspected that she already knew his feelings for her.
"Ohhh! The pictures we took in the..."
"Photo booth," Jeremy answered. "The pictures we took together."
"Let me see them!" Aelita begged.
"Only if you say 'please'," Jeremy smiled. He was finally getting his nerve back.
"Pretty pleeeease..." Aelita cooed.
Jeremy blushed again. He was losing it! He was going to spill everything!
He quickly pushed the strip to where she could see them. While she focused on the prints, he blushed openly.
"Ahhh...I like the one when I wore your glasses," Aelita beamed again. "Do you like it?"
'This is unbearable!' Jeremy thought. She was making him blush more than ever.
"Why are you...blushing...so much tonight?" she innocently asked him.
She knew! She saw his face!
"Uhh...um...it's just..."
"Yesss?"
"I..." Jeremy hung his head.
"What is it? Am I making you 'uncomfortable'?"
"No! You're not! I'm just...embarrassed...a little."
Aelita's eyes widened.
"By what?"
Jeremy's heart was racing. Why did he have to say that! How was he going to get himself out of this one?
"I've...just got these...feelings..." he told her.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he regretted them. He was afraid that he'd say something like that!
"Hmmm...? What kind of feelings?" Aelita toyed with him.
"I...I..."
There were a few short seconds where nothing was said.
"I really like you. I just...I do."
There was a pause.
"Jeremy..."
Jeremy inwardly shouted at himself. He couldn't believe it! He was telling her everything!
"I want to have a visit tomorrow. Just you and me. Okay?" Aelita finally said.
"Uh...yeah...yes please, I'd like that." Jeremy replied.
"Alright then. Well, you'd better go to sleep then." She smiled.
"G-goodnight, Aelita."
"Goodnight, Jeremy."

So, what does everyone think? It'll get better in further chapters, this one was a bit mushy-ish closer to the end...I promise not to do that so much in future. But I needed a starting point, and the Jeremy x Aelita thing was too light in the series.
