This is really Kierrakins' first fanfiction so go easy on her. She and her friends were really upset that Lyoko just stopped and most of them were completely furious that Ulrich and Yumi...well, why don't you just read the story and tell Kierrakins what you think. :)
What happens next...
The computer was shut down the day before. They would slowly sink back into the normal routine of a XANA free life, but as of now, the group was going through denial.
From afar, they seemed to look fine. Odd was stuffing his face with breakfast, Jeremie was carrying on a boring conversation of endless chatter while Aelita pretended to listen and Yumi and Ulrich were in their own little world.
But if you stepped in closer, you could feel the atmosphere change and the almost regretful feeling tugged at your heart.
Jeremie suddenly fell silent when he realized that no one was listening. "Come on guys!" he kept his voice in a soft pitch, "It won't be so bad." Jeremie smiled. "Maybe now we won't have to wonder where we're going to find the time to study for our next test. And there won't be anymore skipping classes. Hey! Maybe we won't get in trouble with the teachers so often!"
"Yeah, those are really nice thoughts." Ulrich mumbled sarcastically.
"What if I actually enjoyed skipping classes and getting in trouble?" Odd replied, grabbing a salt shaker.
"Only you could find enjoyment in detention with Jim." Yumi laughed trying to brighten the mood.
"Well, I think in our quality detention time, Jim and I were starting to bond." Odd finished off his plate full of eggs.
"Bonding with Jim? And I thought fighting XANA was bad." Ulrich joked.
This whole time, Aelita sat silently, not paying the least bit of attention to the friends around her. Losing a father can do that to you.
"Did someone press your mute button, Princess, because I haven't heard a word from you all morning." Odd leaned over the table and pressed on Aelita's nose. "You may now speak!" he snapped his fingers.
Aelita stood up and almost knocked her chair over. She turned and walked, almost like a zombie, out of the cafeteria.
"What I do?" Odd shrugged.
