I'm really sorry for the wait...I was bashing my head against the wall for not being able to update.
On with the Story!
Juno POV
"You were created…were created…created…"
"For different purposes…different purposes…purposes…"
"But all…all…all…"
It echoed. Flashes of color moved in the haze-silver, auburn, red, violet, pink...
Flashing in front of my eyes. It started spinning, dancing away from my consciousness. Sound started to spill in. Sounds like laughter, music, movement, singing, crying, yelling, sobbing…all traveling around my head, my thoughts, my vision. It was painful, it was painless, it was numbing. My body was pulled, prodded, squeezed, released.
Stop…
Light…
Fade…
Away…
Gone...
Forever…
"STOP!"
'A voice…why a voice…why here…now... Where am I?'
I looked around, the colors settling. What was this? I was curled in a ball, looking through my fingers. On a floor.
'Okay, I'm in a tower. Tower where? What's a tower?' I was confused. I know this is a tower-I know I'm an A.I-I know I'm here-but why-
I turned and looked around myself. I saw several other A.I's around me-five-but not clearly. They were in the same position I am.
'Who are they? Why were we here?'
"Lyoko..." the voice again-again.
"All of you…" the voice seemed to be distant. Far away. Going farther. The floor started to dissipate-vanish-disappear, and I was falling…forever…
My eyes flew open as the nightmare faded away. I sat, trying to figure out what I had seen. It seemed like a blur…of people, of sound. It was confusing, and it was close to the same thing I had seen when Aelita said her name.
I blinked, looked at the clock, and then rolled out of bed. Today was Saturday, my second day on earth. Which reminded me. I looked in the on the inside of the dresser's door at the mirror. It showed my reflection of mid back length hair, pale skin, violet shaped eyes, halter and black and black pants. 'I need more clothes.'
I fished through my pockets again, found the card, and looked at the account number.
9151.
Whose card is this? And why is it in my pocket?
'Should I-wait, yeah, I'm using it.'
I opened my door and walked down the small hallway to the stairs. I tramped down them, blinking sleep from my eyes, before coming to a halt after three flights.
According to Aelita's directions, it was a separate building. I walked outside the oak doors. There were a lot of groups hanging around the grounds. Most heading to a small screened in area. Well, it was worth a shot following them. I caught the door as a small red-haired girl was about to slam it.
It turned out, this was the dining hall. I paused for a second and looked for an empty table. There was one with no people in the third row, so after getting my breakfast I sat down. I looked at the tray, trying to figure out what was on it. None of the food I had seen so far had been like the meals on the internet, which had looked pretty good. Which was unlike the food in front of me.
I poked at what looked like a mix between a pancake and French toast and a rubbery thing that could have been eggs trying to decide if I wanted to eat them. I mean, it was edible if they were serving it…right? Finally, I pushed my tray away. It wasn't worth getting sick.
I looked around at the kids and students around me, all laughing or talking to each other. I felt contained…even trapped. It was…weird. Being surrounded by people after being with only myself for so long. I could wish to have friends. But I'm not sure anyone would want to be mine. Maybe I was just afraid, but I looked at the mass of people. They seemed fine with each other, they were friends, and they had known each other for a long time. And I had just gotten here.
And from all those people who had ignored me when I had aimlessly walked the grounds looking for my room, I probably wasn't going to get friends fast.
I stood up, a mere fifteen minutes after entering the dining hall, to put my tray up.
I walked to the door of the dining hall, passing tables of people. Non which paid any attention to the small girl walking outside. 'Well, it's better than being noticed by everyone.'
Yumi POV
"Where are they?" I growled, very frustrated by the fact that the team had agreed to meet at the entrance of the mall at 9:40 a.m. And they weren't here. Maybe they had meant tomorrow, on Sunday…or they were just classically late…again. I looked at my watch. 10:00 and counting.
"Yumi!" I turned.
"Where were you guys, you're twenty minutes late!"
"Sorry," The spiky haired blonde boy said. "You know we're fashionably late every time." I glared at him. He seemed to shrink back.
"Okay, so it was my fault…But the cafeteria just started to serve bacon, and I couldn't resist." Odd saw me roll my eyes. "It was bacon!"
This was not the first time that we had decided to go to the mall, but this time we were going to see the movie, 'Juno' and 'Bourne Ultimatum'. Guess who's seeing which?
Aelita wanted to see 'Juno' because A. There were French subtitles, and B. She said someone reminded her about it. She wouldn't explain further.
The boys, though, point-blank refused to see a chick-flick. I did have to be sympathetic. Usually chick-flicks were dumb, and all had the same plot. Step 1. Girl gets guy. Step 2. Girl and guy in a fight. Step 3. Girl and guy break-up. Step 4. Girl misses guy. And Step 5. Girl and guy get back together. The end. And it is usually stupid. But I had already said yes to see 'Juno' before I knew what it was about.
"Come on Yumi, we need to get tickets before they're sold out!" Aelita's voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and she practically ran towards the small theater.
"See you guys; hope you like the Bourne movie. Meet us at the food court when it's over!" I called, running to the ticket booth.
"We will!" Ulrich shouted back. For a few seconds our eyes locked, and then we looked away blushing.
Juno POV (NOT THE MOVIE)
Okay, I had been in this mall for three hours. I had gotten clothes, shampoo, conditioner, brushes, shoes, and everything else needed. Now for the fun stuff. What's in here that has to do with what I could like?
I looked at the large string of stores on the floor I was on. 'Clothes, clothes, clothes, make-up, shoes, clothes, shoes, clothes, clothes, music, electronics-wait, electronics.' I walked to the store. I read the sign above the store which read 'Radio City' in big red font. I walked in looking through the sections.
I looked at a shelf containing ipods. I had seen these on the internet and actually thought of these to be useful. They held all the music I could ever want-and if anyone knew how much music I listened to during those three weeks, they would know I would need one with a lot of memory. I picked a box up. 2 GB nano, black. I looked at the features, and then at the price. Yep, it was worth it.
I walked to several other sections, picking up other stuff I thought I needed, and something that the school required, a laptop. I looked at a type of computer. It was a small thin black laptop with a HAL label on the top. Under the label it read 'G-700 XY-9'. Apparently, this was 'the most powerful one on the market', or so the salesman told me. It had more features and memory than any other laptop on the market to date, and all laptops scheduled to be released for the next three years. And I knew he wasn't lying. I had seen a lot of advertisement for it, all the votes it had for best laptop, and all the thoughts from newspapers and news guides, and all the blueprints from the HAL manufactures.
Well, needless to say, I walked out of the store with that nano, a cell phone, the G-700 XY-9. I looked at wall clock and saw it was one forty-five.
'I should go back to Kadic to set all this up.'
Aelita POV
The movie had just gotten out, and I must say, it was good. Actually, really good. Yumi even admitted that it was the only chick-flick she could watch. We walked to the food court and waited for the 'Bourne Ultimatum' to get out.
"When does their movie end? I've got to get Hiroki home in-" she looked at her watch. "One hour. Mom wanted me to pick up Hiroki from Johnny's house at three." she groaned.
"What, miss us already?" we turned to see Ulrich walk up to the table, followed by Jeremie and Odd.
"Was it good?" I asked.
"IT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!" Odd exclaimed. Several people looked at us before exchanging glances and turning back to what they were doing.
"Odd liked it, I gather." I asked. Ulrich and Jeremie nodded. We got up and started walking to the exit, skirting groups of people and kiosks.
Okay, so not much is happening...yet. Trust me, it will come. Bare with me, please, NEW AUTHOR I'M SORRY!!!
Yeah, it was short...again. I'M SORRY! DON'T KILL ME!!!
