This is the first Code Lyoko story I've done in a while, so please, tell me how it is. Good bad, I want to know.
Peaceful Aftermath
Chapter 1
Free at Last
It was the day after shutting down the supercomputer. It was to be the first no-fear normal day any of the Lyoko warriors had had for nearly two years…
"Rise and shine Ulrich!" shouted Odd from his bed.
"Huh…?" said Ulrich groggily. Ulrich opened his eyes to see Odd jumping around on his bed, dancing to the music he had blasting through the headphones around his neck. "Isn't it a little early, Odd?"
Odd replied "No way! It's never too early for good music!"
Ulrich sat up. "Since when do you get up this early anyway? You usually still snoring by the time I wake up."
Odd kept dancing, saying "I think when we got rid of the supercomputer, a lot of my stress went away. Pretty cool, huh?"
"Whatever you say, Odd."
Yumi woke up to the bright sun shining through the shades on her window. Yawning, she got ready for the day, ate breakfast, said goodbye to her parents, and left for school with Hiroki.
"Hey sis, any reason why your so happy today?" asked Hiroki, looking up at her sister.
"What?" Yumi replied. She had been smiling off into the distance, thinking of just how free she felt to be rid of XANA.
"Your finally going out with Ulrich, aren't you?" said Hiroki. "It's about time." He laughed loudly.
Yumi looked at him. "No Hiroki, no stop saying things like that, will you?"
"Ha-ha, I knew it! You are going out with Ulrich!"
Yumi glared at him. "No Hiroki, I'm not!" She shook her head. "You know, you should hang out with Odd some time. You two would really get along."
"You mean Della Robbia? That friend of yours with the weird hair?"
"That's the one."
"Not a chance, sis," said Hiroki. "That Odd is a major weirdo."
Yumi laughed the hardest she had laughed in a long time. "Well Hiroki, you got that right."
Jeremy sat at the usual table in the cafeteria, slowly eating his breakfast. He was the only one there so far.
"I wonder what I'm going to do with my spare time now that XANA is gone…" thought Jeremy.
"Hey Jeremy."
Odd looked around to see William waving at him as he walked to sit at his table.
"Hi William." Replied Jeremy politely. "I just don't know what to make of that William," he thought.
The usual rush of people started to flow into the cafeteria, and out of nowhere Jeremy got what he was waiting for.
"Hey Einstein!" called Odd from the line waiting for food. "Save any food for me?" Without looking Jeremy held up a banana.
"Alright!" exclaimed Odd. "You're the best Einstein!"
"Hello Jeremy," said Aelita as she sat down with her tray of food.
"Hello Aelita," said Jeremy with a smile. "How are you?"
"Great actually," Aelita replied with a big smile. "All the stress of the supercomputer is gone. But still…" her face became sad.
"I know Aelita. We'll do something for Franz Hopper today. He will not be forgotten."
Aelita gave a somewhat weak smile. "Thank you, Jeremy."
Odd and Ulrich came to sit down next. "Hey there, you two," said Ulrich.
"Hi Ulrich," said Aelita and Jeremy simultaneously. They both looked away blushing.
"Aw isn't that cute," said Odd. "Hey Einstein, how about that banana?"
Jeremy pushed up his glasses and handed over the banana. Within a few minutes Odd was already done with his breakfast as well as everyone else's.
"Honestly Odd, one day your going to explode with all the food you eat," said Ulrich laughing.
"Don't say that Ulrich!" shouted Odd. "I'm immortal after all!"
Everyone at the table laughed.
"Quiet down over there, Della Robbia!" shouted Jim who was suddenly standing in front of their table.
"Oh hey Jimbo!" said Odd, grinning.
"How many times do I have to say it? The name's Jim. You can't get too familiar with a teacher!" Jim replied.
"Sure thing Jimbo," replied Odd.
Before Jim could answer, Ulrich said, "So Jim, what are we doing in class today?"
Jim replied, "Well Stern, if you must know, we'll be running again. You students have the skinniest legs I've ever seen!"
"Oh Jim," said Jeremy. "That reminds me. I heard you were once an Olympic runner. Is that really true?" Jeremy knew he could get some laughs out of this one.
"Oh… uhm… yeah, you know it! Jim Morales, track runner supreme!" he answered with haughty look on his face.
"But let me guess Jim, you'd rather not talk about it?" said Aelita with a grin.
"You know, Stones, your smarter than you look," he replied with a glance.
Their table erupted into laughter.
"Alright now, you four get to class!" shouted Jim.
Yumi was sitting down in Math class, waiting for class to start, when William sat down next to her.
"All's well that ends well, right Yumi?" said William, grinning weakly.
"Yeah, I guess so." Since all the stress of the supercomputer had been removed, Yumi was feeling a lot more forgiving.
William smiled.
After their first class, Odd, Ulrich, Yumi, Jeremy, and Aelita were all standing by the vending machine, Odd sipping at some soup he had bought from it.
"I feel great today!" said Odd loudly to the others.
"Yeah we all do," said Yumi, grinning.
"To make things clear, we're still the best of friends?" asked Jeremy with a hopeful face.
"Of course."
"No doubt."
"You bet, Einstein."
"You know it."
Jeremy smiled.
Ulrich looked up to the sky. "We all have a full future ahead of us now. Let's spend it together. Agreed?"
They all replied "Agreed!"
"Hmph," said Ulrich. "I guess we're free at last."
