I set off time to copy the third chapter from my paper to my files. There is not much more to say.
Everyone walked to their respected dorms as Jim stayed with Jeremie and Aelita.
The night went by slowly and silently. The only noise was Jeremie's constant typing and the occasional roar of laser fire.
To Jim it seemed like millions of years inching by like a bored sloth. To Aelita and Jeremie, it seemed like minutes racing by faster and faster, only building the pressure.
"Ha!" Jeremie laughed scaring Aelita and Jim.
"Finished at last Jeremie!?" Aelita asked composing herself quickly.
"Huh. Uh. What? … Oh yeah!" Jim said groggily before falling asleep again. Staying up all night is something Jim had not done since he was a kid.
"Jim… JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!" Aelita yelled at the sleeping ogre. Jim sat up with a start and then he eased down after a few seconds of light. "We need everyone down here so we can explain how the program works."
"Ok, ok. Only lets test it out on me first so no one gets hurt." Jim said cautiously.
"I am 95 sure that you will not get hurt Jim, but you are right." Jeremie said, sounding very sure of their work.
"And the other 5?" Jim asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously while looking at the two.
"Lets just say…" Aelita said, unable to think of anything.
"The Eiffel Tower would be a nightlight compared to you." Jeremie finished. He knew more about landmarks since Aelita hadn't read a lot of books on that subject.
Aelita began to bring up a weird, blue, 4x4 tile that glowed subtly and then violently appearing a few inches off of the floor spinning in slow lazy circles. To Jim, it looked like a teleporter.
"Just stand on this data downloader and your personal program will be downloaded into your profile." Aelita explained to a bewildered Jim. Jim hesitantly stepped onto the platform "Jeremie. Start the program. I will choose where to focus it since I know more about how easily it will be accessed." Aelita commanded. She then started to focus the program on Jim's club. Aelita, being exhausted, sank to her knees and hummed a strange note. The humming then turned into singing. Jeremie, still typing away, tried to find which note on the musical scale that Aelita was singing. Nothing came to mind.
After about a minute, Jim was ready and not blinding the two geniuses with the new light. If successful then the light emanating from his club would be a soft blue with some white. Aelita walked over to turn out the lights in the gym. It was pitch black. Aelita was about to turn the lights back on in disappointment, but stopped when Jim was freaking out.
"I feel really strange right now. Is it supposed to feel like this?"
And before they knew it, the light burst out of his club. The light lit up about a 12-foot area around him. Aelita then turned the light back on. When the light from the club sensed a stronger source of light, it disappeared.
"Get everyone down here while the day is still early." Jeremie said with a smile. "Jim, Aelita and I will wake our friends up."
"Ok. On one condition though," Jim said eyeing them. The kids raised their eyebrows in confusion. "Miss. Stones, if that is your real name," Jim continued. "Will have to go and wake up Yumi and the other girls. You have to wake up the boys," he said pointing at Jeremie.
"Fine with us," the two said in unison, as they looked at each other relieved and nodded. They smiled as they raced towards the stairs. Something was said between the two silently, and somehow they understood each other without a single word between them.
"How are you on that program?" Mr. Delmas asked as he stopped jumping from step to step on the stairs. Aelita and Jeremie quickly stopped before falling on top of each other and the principal.
"We're done sir. We just need to download it into everyone. We even tested it on Jim." Aelita stated in one breath. That was probably the fastest summary she had ever given to the principal.
"I better find Jim and ask him to show me then." Mr. Delmas said with a smile as he started jumping down the steps again.
The two continued up. Aelita then climbed/jumped up another flight of stairs and walked toward her room. She recalled that Jim told Yumi to sleep there for the night.
"Yumi. Yumi wake up already!" Aelita yelled in the poor Yumi's ear excitedly.
"Aaaggghhh! I'm awake!" Yumi screamed in a really bad mood.
"Good. We finished the program, now let's go." Aelita said nonchalantly as she ran out the room to wake up the other girls.
"It's like she never screamed in my ear a few seconds ago," Yumi thought as she dizzily got out of the bed. Standing up she almost toppled over. Yumi cursed under her breath as she walked into the hall where Sissi was waiting with Emily, Tamiya and Milly. Tamiya, Milly, and Emily were jumping up and down, squealing like little kids. Yumi flinched as the girls squealed again. With another curse she took the lead down the steps.
Meanwhile… Jeremie was in Odd and Ulrich's dorm.
"Ulrich, wake up now." Jeremie said after removing an earplug from Ulrich's ear.
Ulrich stirred himself awake as Jeremie made his way toward Odd.
"Odd, wake up!" He yelled as he shook Odd. Some how, Jeremie knew that that wouldn't work. The shaking got more violent, but Odd still didn't wake up. "Don't make me bring the axe of my bow down on you." Jeremie said with an evil grin. He raised the bow after seeing no stirring from the poor, purple, cat lying in a heap on the bed. "You brought this on yourself Odd." Jeremie practically yelled out loud, so Odd could have one last chance to wake up. Right when the bow's axe was just about an inch away from Odd's nose, he finally woke up. Odd moved his head as he screamed in fear, barely missing the bow's axe. Jeremie pulled the bow behind his back to hide the fact that he threatened Odd to wake up. He then acted casual like nothing had just happened.
"Man Einstein. You didn't have to attack me."
"It's not my fault that Ulrich wakes up without a fuss, and you have to be threatened! Right Ulrich." Jeremie complained as he fumbled around with his bow.
Odd got up out of the bed and started to grab his stomach moaning and groaning. With a screaming out burst of pain, Odd collapsed.
