XANA is gone. Franz Hopper is dead. Super computer is shut down. Post season 4. I don't own Code Lyoko, or The Beatles
I dream of Eleanor
"Jeremie… I…" His chair spins to face her, as she sits on his bed. "What is it Lita?" She looks down at her feet, "Nothing, never mind." Aelita gets up, and walks to the door. She pulls the door open, and looks back at the boy sitting at his computer. "Good night Jeremy." She shuts the door. Slowly she walks back to her room. 'Dammit, I love him. At least… I think I do. And I'm pretty sure he loves me too.' She arrived at her room, and changed into her night clothes, a pink t-shirt and long pink jean pajama bottoms. 'I'm so cold.' She snuggles up under her blanket. It doesn't help all that much. She drifts off into an uneasy sleep.
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice
In the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Aelita sees herself, in her own future, without Jeremie. She's at his funeral. She waited, and wondered. All those years of her life, wearing the face of a friend. It was all for Jeremie, she thought that was all he ever wanted. Tears well up in her eyes. They begin streaming down her face. She stands by his grave. His headstone reads, "Live life like you've been trapped in a virtual prison." She sobs even harder. Were his final words trying to make her feel guilty?
Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks
In the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
The scene changes. Aelita is sitting on Jeremie's bed, he has no idea she is there. He's hard at work, coding like a maniac. Back when he was still searching for her anti- virus. 'Why does he even bother?' she wonders aloud. Suddenly he stops. He turns around, and looks absolutely exhausted. He looks at his bed with longing. 'Go to sleep!' Aelita urges him, but for naught, as he can't see or hear her. Jeremy looks back to his desk, and unlocks the drawer. He pulls out a photograph. 'Gasp' Aelita is shocked, she sees the pictures they took on her first night on earth. 'I thought those were destroyed in the return trip to the past!' Jeremy smiles as he looks at the photograph, and then returns to coding with a new vigor.
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
(Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
Aelita shoots up in bed. She looks to her left. The clock reads Sunday, 3AM. She grabs Jeremie's spare room key from her desk, and walks to his room. 'I have to tell him. I'm not going to end up like Eleanor.' She quietly slips the key in the lock and turns. Aelita slips in the room silently, and watches Jeremie sleep for a moment. She walks slowly over to his bed and kneels down near his face.
Jeremie POV
I can feel a hand gently caressing the hair off of my face. I slowly open my eyes, and my whole body fills with warmth, and an uncontrollable smile appears on my face as I see that Aelita is kneeling by my bed. "Aelita, what brings you here?" Suddenly I was worried, "Not another nightmare?" She smiles, and says "Yes Jeremie, but this was a nightmare I needed to have. " I sat up with a quizzical look on my face, "What do you mean?" "Well, this nightmare, opened my eyes. I need to act before it's too late." All of a sudden my mind shut down. When I came too, I realized she had pressed her soft warm lips against mine. I was overwhelmed with the scent and taste of strawberries. I melted into her. After a moment, we pulled away to breathe, both blushing a furious shade of scarlet.
Aelita POV
I brushed the hair off of his face, he asked me what was wrong. He gave me the perfect opening… I'm too scared. I can't say it out loud. I'll just have to show him, so I lean in to his face, our lips met and the whole world stopped. I felt lighting shoot throughout my body, and suddenly, I was so warm and comfortable. I could feel Jeremie freeze, and then begin to work his lips gently against mine. The moment was so soft and sweet, I pulled away, and looked into those gorgeous electric blue eyes of his, for once, not obscured by his glasses. We were both blushing, basking in the afterglow of the kiss.
Normal POV
"Jeremie, I love you. That's what I was trying to say earlier. My nightmare made me realize that I couldn't hold that inside anymore, I had to tell you." Jeremie was grinning from ear to ear. He stood up, and took her hands in his. "Aelita, ever since the moment I turned on the super computer, I knew I loved you. I never thought you could feel the same way in a million years!" Aelita looked confused, "But why not Jeremie?" "Well… You're so beautiful. I look into your deep emerald eyes, and I turn into a puddle of goo. You make my world go round Lita. I'm just a nerd, a skinny programmer, who hides in his room all day. Who could ever love me? I love you so much, and I was so afraid you didn't feel the same way. I was afraid that if I told you, it would ruin what I was lucky enough to have with you to begin with." Aelita moved closer to Jeremie, she began to kiss at the tears flowing out of the boy's eyes. Jeremie then looked up at her, knowing that she truly loved him, not just for what he had done for her, but for who he was. It took all the courage he could muster, his hands pulled her waist tight to his, and he moved his lips against hers, a little too high at first, but she moved her head up to meet his lips, her hands gripping his head, and they kissed again. It was a tender kiss, they felt as if they were the only people in the entire world. The kiss grew more and more passionate as time went on, Aelita began to gently glide her tongue on Jeremie's teeth. He allowed her entrance, and the two teenagers fell to the bed after a moment. They opened their eyes, and were both panting, grinning, and sweating like crazy. "Jeremie, it's Sunday. We don't have class in the morning. I'm not leaving you tonight, I can't." Jeremie thought about it for a moment, and pulled back his bedspread. He laid down, and patted the space next to him. Wordlessly, she slid into his waiting arms, and they shared a final goodnight kiss. 'I don't even need a blanket now. I've got Jeremie to keep me warm' Aelita thought as she drifted off to sleep. Each of them dreamed of the other that night as they lay in each other's arms.
