Yes another redone chapter! Hope you enjoy it! Oh and Rycr, I am rewriting the whole series. I figure if I do that, things will be less confusing in the later books.

Chapter 2: Welcome, Welcome

Chelsea blinked. Had it all been a day dream? Here she was bending over her shoe, tying her laces in front of Kadic. Hadn't she just done this about an hour ago? What had happened?

Chelsea looked up in wonder. The schoolyard looked exactly the same. There was...Ulrich was it? And Yumi leaning against the tree talking. This time however they didn't seem as idle. maybe she had just imagined having friends and imagined the strange bird attack. That's all it was. But if it was a dream, why were Sissy and her friends walking towards her right now?

"Hey new girl!" Sissy called. Chelsea's anger flared slightly, exactly how it had when Sissy had first stormed up to her. If Sissy was her name...

"I'm Sissy Delmas, the principal's daughter! I can see you're new and pathetic so I was thinking you'd join my group!" Sissy grinned.

Chelsea stood,and clenchedher fists. "Look Sissy I-"

"C'mon! I'm the leader. These guys will listen to anything I say!" Sissy said with a nod to the boys behind her.

"Sissy-"

"She's with us," the expected voice said. Chelsea looked up again to see Ulrich and Yumi step in front of her. Maybe it was real! maybe she had viewed the future or something. If anything she knew she had to warn them. Even if they would end up thinking her weird.

"Oh really! It just so happens this girl just got here! How could she have-"

"Hey Ulrich, hey Yumi!" Chelsea said brightly, grinning at the stunned expressions on Ulrich, Yumi and Sissy's faces. "I was looking all over for you guys. How's it going?"

"You...you know them?" Sissy asked weakly.

"Of course!" Chelsea grinned wrapping an arm around either of them. "I met Yumi at camp. And she introduced me to Ulrich yesterday. They're great friends now."

"Well...I-"

Ulrich finally managed to speak up. "Sissy, why don't you spare my good friend here anymore of your unimportant gabber and leave. Go on...be a good little brat and scat."

Sissy scoffed and turned away, her boys following. One boy stopped and turned to Ulrich. "You won't get away with hurting Sissy's feelings!"

Ulrich rolled his eyes. "Like you could do anything to me, Herve. C'mon, try it."

Herve just growled and stromed away, muttering under his breath.

Chelsea breathed and turned to Ulrich and Yumi. "Okay look. I know what I'm going to say might sound strange but I think I just saw the future or something and birds are going to attack. We need to get out of here because they broke the windows and almost hurt me and-"

"Evil birds?" Ulrich laughed. "Wow new girl, you sure have an imagination!"

Chelsea folded her arms stubbornly across her chest. "I know it sounds strange but it happened! You got a call on your phone and then you and Yumi ran off!"

Ulrich kept laughing but Yumi began to look at Chelsea strangely. "So...that's how you know our names?"

"Yes...I'm Chelsea by the way," Chelsea breathed. She looked at yumi hopefully. "Do you believe me?"

"I...don't know. The story is pretty unbelieveable..." Yumi muttered. "Uh...Ulrich, canI talk to you for a moment? Alone?"

Chelsea sighed and walked away. They didn't believe her. All she had to do now was weight until it happened. Then they would believe her. But what if it was a dream and she just made herself look like an idiot? How could this be? She moved and sat down at a bench facing the park forest and stared out at it.

Meanwhile, Yumi and Ulrich were in a desperate conversation.

"How can she know all of this?" Yumi almost shrieked. "How can she remember the return to the past? Jeremy didn't plug her into the computer or anything! How could this have happened?"

"Yumi calm down! I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this. All we have to do is talk to Jeremy!" Ulrich exclaimed, grasping the females shoulders. "Calm down...okay?"

Yumi sighed and dipped her head. She gave a weak smile at Ulrich. "I'm sorry. Just all he attacks."

They looked at each other a bit longer when Ulrich blushed deeply and turned away, a small grin on his face. "So...about the dance..."

Yumi grinned and blushed as well. "Ask me later. Right now you need to go reassue Chelsea that it was a dream. I'll go talk to Jeremy."

Ulrich smiled again and turned away. Yumi turned away as well but quick kissed him on the cheek as she rushed off.

Smiling to himself Ulrich almost walked right past Chelsea before he realized that he had gone to far. he looked up and quickly stepped towards her.

"Hey Chelsea," Ulrich said with a smile. "How's it going?"

Chelsea sighed and brought up her knees. "Are you sure you want to talk to the weird girl who sees the future?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Ulrich said. "Why else would I be talking to you?"

Chelsea raised a brow at him and scoffed. "Thanks."

Ulrich sighed. "Look...maybe it was just some weird...thing. Forget about it. Let's go hang out somewhere."

Chelsea looked up at him. "You still want to hung out with me?"

Ulrich shrugged. "Why not?"

"Because I'm crazy," Chelsea muttered.

"No you aren't!" Ulrich laughed. "C'mon, I'll show you to your room."

"You don't even know the number..." Chelsea muttered, standing nonetheless.

"Uh...let me see then," Ulrich said quickly. He decided right then that he'd be more careful about his words.


In a room with a large desk filled to bursting with computer equiptment and monitors, a boy the same age as Ulrich and Chelsea was typing away with a bored look on his face. He had been working on the same program for the past week and everything he had tried hadn't worked. With a sigh, he pressed the enter button to try it again.

"Stupid computer!" he shouted, knocking his glasses askew when a red exclamation point popped up on the screen.

"Jeremy? Are you in here?" a female voice called from outside the room.

Jeremy side and patted down his blonde hair and fixed his glasses. "Yes, Yumi. You can come in."

Yumi walked in, an upset look on her face. "Jeremy, Chelsea remembers the return to the past."

"What?" Jeremy demanded. He began typing furiously on the computer, bringing up the history of the latest attack. "How is this possible. She doesn't have a character! Nothing at all!"

"Do you think she could be under Xana's control?" Yumi asked, laying a hand on the back of the chair to stare over Jeremy's shoulder. She stared interestedly at the numbers and letters but in reality couldn't understand a single symbol.

"No...I just ran a scan before I tried the antivirus again for Aelita. There's nothing," Jeremy sighed.

"I think we should check out Lyoko...just in case," Yumi said. "This girl remembered our names, the attack-everything. What if she is with Xana and is trying to get to Aelita? This could be dangerous."

Jeremy sighed and thought for a moment. "I'm not sure we should jump to conclusions Yumi. I'll run the scan again and I'll take Odd and Ulrich with me and Aelita tonight to check it out. But I seriously think it was just a minor glitch in the program."

"Do you think we should run anorther trip? So Chelsea will forget that she remembered everything?" Yumi asked, sitting down on Jeremy's bed.

"No...if she remembered this trip what's to say she doesn't remember the next one? And too many trips makes a person exhausted. You guys know that when Xana took contorl of the supercalculator," Jeremy mused.

"What are we going to do then? We don't kn ow if we can trust her and she could find out about the factory," Yumi said, sitting up.

"I know..." Jeremy sighed. "We'll just have to pray Xana doesn't attack anytime soon, or we're in trouble."


"So you like running?" Ulrich was asking as he and Chelsea made their way up the stairs to the girls' dorms.

"Yeah...it sort of keeps me calm. I tend to get angry at people and I have no other way to control it," Chelsea said. She suddenly stopped and looked at Ulrich, a strange expression on her face. "Why did I just tell you that?"

Ulrich looked at her for a moment. "I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to. Your secret safe with me."

They both looked at each other for another moment when Chelsea nodded and smiled. "Thanks Ulrich...glad to have someone I can trust here."

She walked ahead and left Ulrich to stare at her wonderously for a moment. She's not like most girls, Ulrich concluded. If anything, she's like Yumi's little sister.

"Coming, Tiger?" Chelsea called behind her, a grin on her face.

Ulrich laughed and caught up.


"Are you sure this is a good idea Odd?" a timid girl with pink hair was asking. A boy stood across from her, wearing a grin that could match the devil's. He had a blonde hairdue that stuck up in a teardrop shape on his head with a purple...blob in the middle of it.

"Yes, I'm sure," the known as Odd said to the girl. He was standing in her bedroom, pulling back a sling with a rather large water ballon in it. "All we have to do is wait for Jeremy to walk in calling "Oh Aelita!" and let go!"

"And this will bring out the...fun in Jeremy, as you said?" Aelita asked, cocking a pink brow.

"Exactly," Odd smiled. If his ears were that of a dogs, you could alost see them prick as he heard the sound of voices and footsteps heading this way. "Sh, Aelita. he's coming. Get behind the bed and watch the fun!"

Aelita nodded eagerly and raced behind the bed, while Odd stayed behind the sling, holding the humungus water balloons back with ease.

"And this is your room..." a male voice was saying. The door opened and- "BANZAI!"

Screams, and explosion and laughter.

Odd got up, grasping his stomach to look to Jeremy, only to find Ulrich standing their with a new girl, both soaked.

Ulrich clenched his fists and stared at Odd, his hair dripping and helping along the puddle on the floor. "Odd...you have two second to run."

"AH!" Odd yelped and tore out of the room. Ulrich waved back at the new girl before racing after Odd, streaming water behind him.

"Who are you?" Aelita asked, stepping out from behind the bed. The poor new girl was drenched from head to toe in water and had began shivering.

"Chelsea...you're roommate," the girl muttered flatly.

Aelita gasped. "Come in! I'm so sorry! Odd said you probably wouldn't come until later!"

"If you are refering to that idiot who just soaked me than I agree with the 'odd' statement," Chelsea growled, she pulled in one of her bags-the other one Ulrich had been carrying- and sat down on the bed opposite of the occupied one. "How would he know anyway?"

"Uh...well obviously he didn't. That balloon wasn't meant for you or Ulrich," Aelita said with a sigh. She walked over to her dresser and pulled out two outfits that were plain. "Here...you might want to check the clothes in your bag too. I'm sure with a water ballooon of that size they're bound to be wet."

Chelsea took the clothes and shut the door, changing into a shirt and short blue shorts. "Thanks."

"Welcome...I'm Aelita by the way," Aelita said, offering a hand.

Chelsea glanced at it for a moment before shaking it. "Hey, Aelita. So are the boys always like that?"

Aelita grinned. "Actually yes, I think Ulrich picked it up from Odd though."

Chelsea grinned and sighed. She had friends. Living at kadic can't be that bad if she actually had friends this time around.
