Pink Feathers

'It's been 10 years since we shut off the super computer. Everyone had promised to stay friends, and up until a couple years ago I thought we would, but we've found ourselves going different ways.

After we shut of Xana me and Jeremy finally became an official couple, things started out great, but eventually we admitted things weren't going where we wanted them too and separated. We haven't talked much after the break up, last I herd he was working with top scientist trying to find a cure for cancer.

As for Yumi and Ulrich it turns out they had started secretly dating a few months after they had discovered the super computer, they were going to get married but Ulrich cancelled after he saw Yumi cheating on him with William. After that no one saw Ulrich, no one has even herd from him for almost three years. As for Yumi, she's now happily married and is expecting her third child.

Without anything interesting for him to do Odd decided to quit high school and become a full time professional skateboarder, I sometimes see him on the television and watch him perform tricks. He once emailed me asking if I wanted free tickets to one of his shows, I accepted. I went there happier then a kid in a candy store only to find out the show had been canceled for reasons I still don't know.

My life has been, interesting to say the least. After me and Jeremy went separate ways I didn't know what to do, so I experimented. I learned belly dancing, archery, gymnastics, even went to school to become a teacher, but even with my masters degree I decided to become a DJ. I currently work in the worlds most popular dance club in Miami, Florida, "The Hook".

I'm always wondering what everyone is up too, no one has tried to talk to me(let aside Yumi announcing she was having a third child in a email) in well over a year. I cant help but wish everything was the way it use to be, life would be so much better if everyone still remained friends, or at least kept in touch. I always thought you were suppose to keep promises, I guess I had been wrong.

- Aelita'

Aelita brushed her bangs back behind her ears and closed her newly bought dairy and puts down her pink pen. 'I can't believe I talked myself into keeping a diary, it's so much work.' she thought to herself and with a sigh headed to the bathroom turning the shower to the hottest her delicate pale skin could handle and undressed. Slowly stepping into the shower she let the water roll off her body and down the drain. After washing her skin and her medium strawberry blonde, almost pink, hair. She turns off the hot water, rinsing her body with cold water for a few seconds before completely turning off the water and drying herself off with a fluffy white towel.

She walked to her dresser and picked out a pink star print panty with a bra that matched along with black knee high socks, put them on, then walked to her closet to pick out an outfit for the day. Deciding she wanted to wear something a little dark she picked out her signature black hoodie with pink striped sleeves and a pair of pink wings on the back. She pulled it over her head and through her arms, it only covered her upper torso like so many of her shirts did. Aelita found no shame in showing a little skin, though she always thought that girls at the club always went overboard. She glided over to the other side of her closet and picked out a pair of navy blue jean shorts and put them on.

She returned to her bathroom and looked in the mirror seeing a pair of lovely green eyes staring back at her. Smiling she started blow drying her hair singing to herself, when the song was done she put down the hairdryer and combed out her hair. Using a dark pink and a white eye shadow she created a smoky effect above her eyes then applied black eyeliner and glitter. Finishing off with a light peach lip-gloss, she took another look in the mirror fixing a stray hair. She grabbed what she liked to call "Bag of Mystery" which along with unnecessary-things-she-never-had-time-to-throw-out-but-some-how-always-had-a-use, contained her pink cell phone, a black shell mirror, emergency makeup, a pair of sunglasses, her ID, and if you looked in the back pocket, an old forgotten picture of her along with everyone in the old group . Aelita headed toward the door and put on her pink sneakers grabbed her keys and left for the club.

It was a bright sunny day as usual with the thought of something good happening she put on her sunglasses and walked down the block humming songs to herself. Turning the corner she noticed a long line and smiled. 'Looks like I'm getting a big paycheck this week.' she giggled and skipped to the front of the line.

"Evening Princess. What a fine day we're having." a deep gentle voice called as the strawberry blonde girl approached the doors.

"Just like everyday Earl!" she called back passing the handsome gentleman and waved. It was hard to believe he was the bouncer he was so polite and fancy, people told her he took on a group of over ten people who tried to break into the club and won. She never believed it but ever since Earl had became the bouncer a lot less fights seemed to have happen.

She bounced right up to the current DJ tapped his shoulder and with a nod they traded places. She let the last song finish before turning off the music and putting the microphone to her lips. "GOOD MORNING MIAMI! HOPE EVERYONES READY TO ROCK TO SOME MUSIC!!" Aelita shouted as she put on some headphones and blasted her own mix of sounds. The sounds of cheers could barely be herd over the music as her fans started dancing. She danced along with them throughout the day and long into the night mixing up music.

With a farewell, aside from her and the other employees, everyone had left. Aelita grabbed her bag and headed back out the door. "Night everyone, see you tomorrow!" she called in a cheerful tone looking back to wave. "Oaf!" she gasped as she ran into the bouncer who caught her arm right before she fell to the ground. "Oh sorry! I wasn't expecting you to be there." she chirped as she rubbed the back of her head blushing.

"No it's my fault Princess. There's a man outside who's refusing to leave until he talks to you."

"Who is it?"

"He wont give me a name." He said apologetically.

"Well then I'll just have to go see now wont I?" Aelita replied looking past him. She walked outside with Earl following like a bodyguard and looked around but saw no one. "Earl, there isn't anyone here." She pouted and turned around to see not only Earl, but a tall man with hair too short to be considered medium length but to long to be considered short, dark brown hair, standing with one leg against the building his arms crossed. He was looking at her smiling a familiar smile she had seen so many times before, she began smiling in return, tears swelling in her eyes.

"Sup Aelita?" a welcoming voice said happily. He pushed off the wall and walked over to her and wiped away a tear that escaped her eyes. "There's no need to cry…" he said trying to comfort her but she began crying hard anyways as he held her there in the middle of the sidewalk combing through her hair with his fingers. A confused Earl watched for awhile then left deciding it was a moment she hadn't wanted to share.

Aelita stood there in the man's arms for what seemed like a lifetime to her though it had only been three minutes. Her tears started to stop and she finally looked up into his gentle honey brown eyes. So many questions passed through her head, so many things she wanted to say, but the only things she could manage to say in a desperate voice was "Oh Ulrich!" before bursting back into tears.
