At night a young blonde boy is sleeping in his dorm room. The room is dark with a thin light trying to emerge from under the closed door. The boy starts to smile in his sleep, enjoying the dreams in his head. In the dream the boy is in a field of flowers with a young pink haired girl. The girl giggles and runs off towards a hill in the distance. As she reaches the top she is met by three other kids. They all start to laugh and motion the blonde boy to join them. As he gets to get closer to them the laughter stops. The kids begin to show a symbol in their eyes as they walk towards the blonde boy. The grass begins to die leaving only the charred earth exposed. The once bright and clear sky turns black and a typhoon begins in the dark clouds the now fill the air. Out of the typhoon comes a shadowy figure with the same insignia on its chest. It gets closer to the blonde boy, closely followed with the three kids. Fear now fill the boys eyes. He turns and begins to run. He is having a harder and harder time seeing, a dense fog is now filling the air. The boy stops as a crack in the ground shoots in front of him. The ground begins to open wide, a black abyss is staring right back at him, the damaged earth calling out for him to save it. The boy turns back around to try and escape it. He finds the shadowy figure by itself now. The boy looks and finds the girl to his right dangerously close to the ledge. The girl calls out to the blonde boy. "Jeremie please help" She reaches out to him. He screams back "Aelita no!" He begins to run towards her. As he gets closer the ground begins to shake and crack. As he reaches the her the ground breaks off and the kids fall into the black. The girls voice echo's back "Jeremie!". The boy falls to his knees and whispers to himself. "Aelita no". The boy is jerked to his feet, he turns to find the shadowy figure once more. He stares at the figure as it turns into an exact copy of the boy. The new figure begins to speak. "This is your fault Jeremie." The boy cries back "No don't say that". "It is your fault Jeremie, you weren't fast enough, you weren't smart enough" The new figure begins to walk toward Jeremie, Jeremie starts to back up until he reaches the ledge. The new figure then picks up Jeremie by his shirt. "All of this is your fault". The figure releases Jeremie and he falls into the abyss, screaming "Nooo!" as he falls farther and farther.
Jeremie shoots up from his bed and sits up, tears streaming down his face. He rubs the tears out of his eyes and stands up. He puts some shoes on and gently opens his door. The lights in the hallway were now off, he looks up and down the hall making sure no one was around. Jeremie leaves his room and shuts the door ever so quietly. Turning left, Jeremie walks down the long dark hallway, soon coming to a staircase on his right. He climbs the stairs and turns left back down another hallway. Halfway in he stops at a door, again making sure no one is around he gently opens the door and peeks inside. Aelita is sleeping softly in her bed, the covers just reaching her neck with her hands covering part of her face. Jeremie sighs deeply and makes his way back to his room. He sits down in his computer chair and turns on his monitor.
After a few minutes the computer finally loads up completely and Jeremie regains his control. He loads up a web browser and starts to surf the web. A box appears on the screen, it has a Red top marked Faceback. With a girls picture and a name beside it. "From Magali De Vasseur to Odd Della Robbia, Message: Meet me at lunch tomorrow". Jeremie grumbles and closes the box.
"I thought I told Odd not to keep himself signed in on my computer."
Jeremie looks at the time, "5:35, might as well try and get some sleep."
Jeremie shuts off his monitor and lays back down. He closes his eyes and slowly drifts to sleep again.
Few hours past and Jeremie is shook up. He opens his eyes and reaches for his glasses on the desk. After adjusting to the light he finds two boys in his room. One boy has long blonde hair spiked to a peak, with a splotch of purple in the center. He is wearing a purple hooded sweatshirt with a pink shirt underneath, purple bell-bottoms, and dark red-orange shoes. The other boy has short brown hair and is dressed in a black shirt under an army jacket, with black shoes and blue jeans.
"Wake up Jeremie you missed breakfast" Odd throws the last piece of his croissant in his mouth and begins chewing while he talks " So why didn't you wake up"
"Odd could you stop your getting food all over me." Ulrich wipes his jacket clean of Odd germs
Jeremie gets up and rubs his head "I just couldn't sleep" he begins to remember the violent dream that shook him awake. He shakes his head and starts to get dressed. "So what are we doing today"
Odd and Ulrich look at each other and shrug their shoulders "I don't know but its Sunday we can do whatever we want" Odd starts to jump around the room.
"Odd could you stop before you break something" Jeremie starts to put on some socks.
Odd continues to jump around and knocks into Jeremie's desk throwing his alarm clock to the floor breaking it.
"Too late" Ulrich walks over to Jeremie
Odd picks up the pieces to the clock and attempts to put it back together while Ulrich and Jeremie talk.
"So do you want to go into the town or something" Ulrich shoves his hands in his pockets
"Yeah we could see a movie or something" Jeremie laughs a little bit. He is fully dressed now, wearing dark red long-sleeve shirt, brown pants with light blue stripes going down the side of the legs, and dark blue shoes.
Odd is ruffling through some of Jeremie's desk drawers looking for something. With the broken clock in one hand Odd finally finds what he was looking for, tape. He pulls the tape apart with his mouth and starts to wrap it around the clock.
"Yeah lets go meet Aelita and Yumi and we'll go" The two turn to leave when they find Odd in front of them holding out the clock engulfed in tape.
The two look at each other and laugh
"Its ok Odd I can just get a new one" Jeremie continues to laugh as he walks past Odd with Ulrich close behind
"Whatever I think it's great" Odd places it back on Jeremies desk and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.
After a few minutes the three find their way outside to the pavilion. A complete open space with multiple walkways back to the school and various trees to supply trees as well as a few benches. As they walk out various conversations are heard, along with kids laughing and yelling. They make their way to a group of vending machines. Odd and Ulrich lean against a wall while Jeremie places a coin inside trying to decide what to get. Odd and Ulrich see two girls making their way to them. One is a bit taller with black hair that is half-long black,and heads back and to the sides. She is dressed in a long-sleeved shirt with an extra large neck hole. Her pants cut off halfway between her ankles and knees. Her shoes are pinkish reddish sneakers. The other girl has short pixie cut pink hair and is dressed in a dark purple dress that comes to her knees with light pink quarter length leggings underneath. She also has on boots with a color of a deep red. The girl in black walks over to Odd and Ulrich.
"Hey guys whats up"
Ulrich greets her first "Hey Yumi, just waiting for Einstein over there" He motions to Jeremie still at the vending machines with his thumb"
Odd goes to talk to the girl with pink hair when she puts a finger to her lips and whispers "Shh"
She walks behind Jeremie and throws her hands over his eyes. "Guess who" She starts to giggle
Jeremie grabs her hands and smiles, "Hmm Odd, no wait Yumi, wait don't tell me" Jeremie turns around and moves her hands away "Hi Aelita"
"Hi Jeremie, Yumi told me about that"
"I figured" Jeremie picks up his drink and walks over to the others with Aelita.
"So what are we doing today" Yumi looks around
"Well we were thinking of going into town for a little bit maybe see a movie or just walk around or something"
"That sounds like fun Ulrich" Aelita smiles with excitement.
"So off we go" Odd begins to lead the way away from their spot when he walks right into a great burly man. Dressed in a red tracksuit, brown pants and a headband holding his hair up the man stands in front of Odd with his arms crossed and an eye brow raised.
"Oh hi Jim, we were just" Odd puts his arm behind his head
"Just planning something I know" Jim leans in towards Odd
"Who us we would never, as a matter of fact we were just going to" Odd trails off and looks to the others trying to think of something.
As if on cue Jeremie walks over to Odd and places his hand on his shoulder. Odd sighs in relief.
"We were just going to the library Jim, Mrs. Hertz is giving a test today and they asked if I could teach them what they need to know"
"Well uhm very well then carry on" Jim salutes the two boys and walks off.
Odd and Jeremie breathe in relief.
"Nice job Jeremie" Yumi walks next to Jeremie and puts her hand on his shoulder
"So come on already" Odd starts to walk again. With the others close behind.
As they near a lush green forest a tall black haired girl is found with her arms crossed behind her.
The group groans as they begin to walk past her.
She is dressed in a pink shirt and jeans, with hair clips holding her hair out of her face. She moves next to Ulrich and begins to walk next to her.
Ulrich rolls his eyes and continues to walk
"So Ulrich do you want to"
"No Sissi" The group continues to walk through the woods leaving Sissi by herself in disappointment.
The group walks through the forest and soon come to an opening in a fence leading to the street. The group turns onto the street and heads downtown. The street is open and busy. Cars are driving past in all different shapes, sizes and colors. The street is full of people walking around the group. The street becomes more commercial with the growth of shops and little family owned restaurant. Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi are leading the way with Jeremie and Aelita close behind. Aelita grabs Jeremies arm and pulls him closer smiling. Jeremie blushes and grabs her hand.
Odd looks behind and turns away. "The two lovebirds are getting cozy"
"Let them be, its about time they got together anyway" Yumi looks at Jeremie and Aelita and looks back to Ulrich. The two look away. Odd runs over to a nearby store and looks in the window.
"Hey look at the new TV's." He motions the group to join him. "Cool."
Jeremie and Aelita meet the others in front of the store. As the group turns away and starts to walk back down the street Jeremie continues to stare at the TV's. Jeremie watches as a red symbol flashes on the screen. Jeremie freezes in fear.
Aelita stops when she notices that Jeremie isn't moving. "Jeremie whats wrong" The group turns around and looks to Jeremie.
Jeremie shakes his head and lets go of Aelita "I forgot I have to hand something in for science class, I'll meet up with you guys later" Jeremie starts to run down the way they came.
"Jeremie wait" Aelita reaches out to grab Jeremie with no effect. She puts her head down. The gang soon comes to her side, Yumi places a hand on Aelita's shoulder.
"Did I do something wrong"
"No Aelita, its Jeremie. Maybe he is just nervous"
"I guess" The four turn around and start walking again.
Jeremie runs into an entrance of a large abandoned factory. He stops at a ledge and looks at the entire factory. After not finding anything Jeremie jumps off the ledge towards a rope hanging from the ceiling and slides sown to the ground. He walks into a nearby elevator and presses the button sending the elevator down. Jeremie is nervous and shaking until the door opens. He runs to the computer screen located in the center of the room. He stands in shock.
"No how is this possible" Jeremie runs his fingers through his hair. He sits in the chair and puts his head down. "What am I going to do" He picks his head up and starts to type. "I never thought I would have to do this again."
After a few minutes Jeremie stops typing and rubs his hand through his hair. "Nothing"
Jeremie gets up and goes back into the elevator. As it descend again Jeremie is haunted by the fear of a n old enemy. When the doors open, Jeremie walks out and looks at the huge system controlling the supercomputer. The doors slam shut scaring Jeremie. He looks at the doors and then back at the system. As he stares at the system a black shadow grows out of it and stands in front of Jeremie. Jeremie stands in fear as the figure morphs into a darker version of himself. Jeremie backs up to the door and tries to open it with no luck. The figure begins to speak while a red symbol continues to send fear into Jeremie's mind
"This world will fall and it will be all your fault" The figure gets closer to Jeremie and grabs him. As the figure gets a hold on Jeremie, Jeremie's vision goes black.
He wakes up in a clean white nurses station, surrounded by all his friends. "What where am i"
"Oh Jeremie I was so scared" Aelita leans over Jeremie's bed and hugs him
Ulrich starts to talk "You're in the infirmary, we found you in the factory."
"What were you even doing there" Yumi adds in
"Well I was checking something and I guess I fell" Jeremie rolls out of bed "So can I leave now"
"There's the Einstein we know lets go" Odd pulls him up and the group leaves the infirmary"
The group is walking down the hall
"So Jeremie are you going to tell us why you went to the factory?" Ulrich starts.
Jeremie thinks for a few minutes before answering "I was looking for parts for a new robot"
"Seems believable enough" Odd starts to laugh as the group reaches a stairwell.
Yumi starts down the stairs "Ok I'll see you guys later, parents are going to freak.
"Hey Jeremie can I talk to you"
"Sure Aelita" The two start walking toward Jeremie's room.
"Sure we'll stay here" Odd and Ulrich look at each other
"So what now"
Odd drugs his shoulders and the two walk down the hall
Jeremie and Aelita are in front of Jeremie's room
"So are you going to tell me what you were doing at the factory"
"I told you I was looking for parts for my robot"
"Jeremie I can always tell when you're lieing" Aelita smirks at him
"Well uhm" Jeremie blushes
Aelita continues to stare at him
"I needed to make sure the supercomputer was off"
"Why would it be on"
"I don't know I just needed to make sure"
"Ok"
Aelita then gets closer to Jeremie and kisses him on the cheek. The two blush and smile
"Good night Jeremie" Aelita runs off
"Good night Aelita" Jeremie goes in his room and lays on his bed. "I guess it was nothing" Jeremie drifts to sleep. As Jeremie sleeps a symbol flashes on his computer as if it was watching his every move.
