Uh, yeah, a little bit of an error here and there, sorry about that. The normal blurb will not be shown, having been deleated with the original form of this chapter. This is being placed here as a filler for when I replace this version of the story with the Revised version.
Thank you and have a nice day.
Signs of Desire
It wasn't long after Jeremie had managed to materialize Aelita. The children were still getting use to the idea that Aelita could visit their world, every so often. And of course Jeremie was hard at work trying to find the anti virus. X.A.N.A. had done a great job with the virus; it baffled Jeremie to no end.
The virus was created to keep Aelita linked to X.A.N.A. even when in the 'real' world. If they were to turn X.A.N.A. off then Aelita would enter a coma. Because of this they had to keep X.A.N.A. on until Jeremie was able to find a way to combat the virus, thusly freeing Aelita from X.A.N.A.
Aelita was sad that she could not enjoy the 'life' she had once known, even if it was for a short time. She missed even the little things, the smells, the sounds; the warmth. Se even missed having a heartbeat. But what she missed most, though she wouldn't admit it, was being able to see Jeremie, to actually touch him and be with him. She didn't want to have to see him from afar any more. Aelita desired, beyond anything else, to be with Jeremie.
Jeremie felt the same way, but he also felt like a failure. He felt that he was not good enough because he couldn't fix something as simple as a virus. He also missed being around Aelita, he had the pictures that they had taken, but it wasn't enough. Jeremie desired, beyond anything else, to be with Aelita.
Ulrich and Yumi had a different problem. Even though they were with each other, they still were not 'with' one another. They both loved the other, they both strongly believed that the other loved them, yet neither of them could find the courage to come out and say it. They both wanted to, yet for some reason they just were unable to. It was because of their shyness that they were unable to confess their love and become a real couple. Both Yumi and Ulrich desired beyond anything else, that they were able to confess their love, and even kiss once.
Odd on the other hand had a situation that was not that different than the others. He loved a girl in another school, and she was always getting in trouble. Her family was not very wealthy, and what she needed she had come to take. This got her in trouble a lot, and her family had moved away to a different city. Odd missed her, and whished that she would return. He desired, beyond anything else, that she would be able to return so that he could be with her again.
The desires were obvious, but there seemed no way for any one to be granted, at least no easy way. It seemed that they would have to either solve their own problems the hard or nearly impossible way, or give up. None of them would give up, they weren't the type of people to give up.
Yet Yumi had another problem. She didn't show it very often, and the last time she had was when Odd first arrived to the school, but she had psychic abilities. She did not have very good control of her abilities, nor did she really know how to use them. This made it somewhat difficult around other people. She would sometimes pick up on their thoughts without intending to, and sometimes she even levitated things without knowing it.
