Every act of kindness from Jeremie made Aelita blush happily. Every time he brushed by her heart skipped a beat. There was nothing Aelita wanted more than to give Jeremie that loving smile he deserved and watch him grin back. Yet, every time she gave him a small smile, it seemed he was too focused on his work or otherwise distracted to smile back, not with a real smile, anyway…

Take time to realize,
That your warmth is crashing down on in,
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?

No matter what Aelita did, though, she knew that Jeremie would have to see how perfect for each other they were on his own. Otherwise, would it really be love or just pressure? Oh, but Aelita hoped he figured it out quickly. Take your nose out of your laptop and look at me, she screamed in her thoughts.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you
If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And will never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.

Oh, come on Jeremie. You're so slow… Aelita thought glumly. She knew how he was, and even when things were blatantly in front of him, he never noticed until it was too late. Aelita felt, though, that she would never lose interest… but there was always that possibility, right? How long could Jeremie possibly take to notice her…?

Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by
But I can't spell it out for you,
No its never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you.

Aelita had been acting awfully strange lately… Jeremie was, in fact, too focused on his work to notice her strange behavior was intended to catch his attention. It had, but Jeremie was too self-conscious to think for more than a second that, perhaps, it was because she liked him romantically… She would never like him how he liked her.

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other but,
It's not the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it too,

Aelita sighed.

"Jeremie?" she called.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Nothing really, I um…" she began, unsure of how to go about saying what she really wanted to.

"Hey, Aelita? Um… is something the matter? You've been acting kind of… different… lately." So he had noticed!

"Nothing's the matter. Uh, Jeremie?"

"Yeah?"

Aelita couldn't stand it any longer. She had to do something. This small talk was driving her mad. She leaned forward and kissed him gently on the lips. Jeremie sprang back, surprised. Aelita blushed furiously.

"I-I'm sorry," she stammered, "I don't know what I was…"

She was interrupted by Jeremie's lips on hers. She was confused, dazed, and delighted. The kiss wasn't abrupt, really: it was caring and loving and made Aelita melt inside.

If you meet me half way,

If you would meet me half way,
It could be the same for you.

For moments after the kiss broke, they both stood in silence staring at each other as they blushed.

"I didn't know…" Jeremie admitted. Aelita smiled and nodded.

"Jeremie?" she called.

"Yes?"

"Can I, uh… can I…?"

"Be my girlfriend?" he asked, a furious blush on his already red face. Aelita nodded. He took her hand.

"Of course," he answered. Aelita hugged him happily. This was the moment she'd waited all of her life for… once she was awakened in Lyoko, that is. She knew Jeremie was her Prince Charming… and, hopefully, he always would be…

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another,
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder

If we missed on each other now…
