Here's another chapter now edited. It was again, pathetically short the first time I typed it. From now, on, I won't be satisfied unless all chapters of my story are at least five pages. And I seem to enjoy writing Jason chapters than the others. Possibly because I can relate to Jason more.

AELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITAAELITA

The smoke was much thicker than before, so Jason was almost blind. After seeing the prone form, his first thought was to look around for more cubes. Those things had far more technology than the technology of today, suggesting a more sinister cause than just a quake. Jason winced as he felt his shoulder. The skin was peeling off, like the laser had caused an accelerated form of sunburn. He decided to put some Aloe Vera on it as soon as he got home.

Jason moved closer to the prone figure. By further inspection, he could make out breasts on its chest; it was a girl. He could not tell any other details other than that due to the smoke. Jason pondered this for a moment. She was unconscious, that much was for sure. But how could she possibly survive the explosion here? Jason looked around, finding no charred trees and no shrapnel, ruling out bombs or fires. So what had caused the explosion?

Jason thought back to the event of the quake. The explosion had sounded somewhat like…thunder. But that's impossible! Thunder can't occur in the middle of the forest, which would be ridiculous. The only other thing that could make a sound like thunder is a sonic boom. That too was impossible. Nothing could have broken the speed of sound in a forest.

With a jerk, Jason realized something. The smoke around him wasn't black nor did it choke him. Smoke isn't docile, he should be dead now. But during the battle, he hadn't paid much attention to it. When a sonic boom occurred, it produced a considerable amount of condensation, often causing a light drizzle in some areas for a second. But at this level, it would create-steam. Jason realized with a jolt that the smoke around him wasn't smoke. It was steam.

Jason put this impossible fact out of his mind and instead turned his mind to the girl in front of him. She might be seriously hurt. Therefore, Jason decided to bring her back to the house, where it was safe. He awkwardly tried to find a place to safely hold her. He was pathetic at this sort of thing. Eventually, he gave up and just picked her up roughly. Then he nearly dropped her. She was covered in the same burns that were on his shoulder! Jason had to get some Aloe Vera on her, and fast. These burns were serious.

He started the slow journey back to the house. He knew that he would have to give some form of answer to the mob of people waiting for him. Jason thought it would be a bad idea to tell them about the girl. Jason wanted to know who this girl was, and why she was passed out in the middle of a supposed sonic boom.

"I'll tell them that a fire had erupted and caused a tree to fall. That would explain the smoke and the sound," Jason said to himself. That would do well.

He sneaked around the mob and into the back door of his house. Before he could move, he was confronted by five floating pillows!

"Vincent, stop! This isn't what it looks like!" Jason yelled, backing away. The pillows followed him murderously.

"Can't you see she's hurt? Look, you can watch me. You can kill me if I do anything horrible," Jason reasoned. The pillows hesitated, and then sank to the ground. Jason let out a sigh of relief.

Jason bounded up the stairs to his room, with Vincent's ghostly footsteps following closely behind. Then he placed the girl on his bed. Now, for the first time since finding her, he got a good look at her. He stopped dead. That bright pink hair, that outfit, and that face. There was no mistaking it. He could tell that face anywhere. But it was impossible. Lying before him on the bed was none other than Aelita from Code Lyoko!

Jason sat down on the chair near his desk in sheer confusion. Last time he had checked, Code Lyoko wasn't real. So how could Aelita be lying on his bed in this instant?

"Vincent, pinch me," Jason asked, certain he was dreaming. Pain lanced through him all of a sudden, coursing through his entire body. Jason screamed and fell to the ground.

"NOT THAT HARD!" he hollered. He sat back on the chair, trying to regain some of his lost dignity. So he wasn't dreaming. But, if this was all true, somehow she must have come out of the Code Lyoko TV show? Teleported, maybe? But why? And how?

Jason looked at her burns. Why was he sitting here thinking when Aelita was hurt! He cursed and literally sprinted to his parent's bathroom. He opened a drawer and rummaged through it for a second. Then he found what he was looking for-Aloe Vera. Jason ran back to his room and set the bottle of Aloe on his desk. He poured a bit of the substance on a small cloth and headed over to Aelita. He dabbed a small amount on every visible burn on her body, making sure to get any he could while still avoiding any awkward moments. That looked better. Already the burns were starting to lose some of that angry red color. Speaking of burns, Jason dabbed a bit on his shoulder as well. He sighed in pleasure as the burning sensation faded. It had been paining him since he received it.

Jason stopped dead. If Aelita truly lay on his bed, then the cubes that he had fought in the forest must have been…

"Blocks," Jason whispered. This was getting crazier and crazier by the second. Code Lyoko didn't exist! It was just a killer awesome show. But all of the evidence he was receiving suggested the opposite. Then the world was in incredible danger.

Oh right, the mob! Jason had forgotten. He sneaked out the back door again until he was in the forest. Then, Jason walked out of the forest in plain view of the mob.

They surrounded him yet again and bombarded him with lightning fast questions. The police officer quieted them down and walked up to Jason

"Well? What did you find?" The officer asked calmly.

"Nothing serious. During the quake, a fire broke out and ate right through the trunk of a dead tree. It fell over, causing the explosion," Jason lied. The officer seemed satisfied, but he did have another question.

"What happened to the fire?" he asked worriedly.

"I put it out with water from the creek," Jason continued to lie, knowing that no one other than himself could know about Aelita.

"Thanks. I will report back to HQ with this information. You have done your community a great service," The officer finished, dismissing the mob. Everyone went back to normal, exchanging pleasantries as they went back to their respective houses. The officer went to his car and drove off. Jason was left alone in the empty street.

"You have no idea," Jason remarked grimly. Although Jason was extremely happy that Aelita was real, this also meant that Xana was real too, and this did not bode well for humanity. Jason had been trained in martial arts, but even that was nothing against the sheer power of Xana.

Jason checked his watch. 11:30 pm. He should go to bed. He headed back to his room and slept on the floor, nabbing a pillow from downstairs. There was no way he would be rude enough to move Aelita form the bed. Jason preferred to be courteous to girls.

Jason couldn't sleep. He was too busy contemplating how Aelita could have gotten here. The sonic boom must have had something to do with that. Maybe Jeremy and the others had managed to discover this world? Was it something more sinister? But if Aelita and Xana were real, then the others must be. That would be awesome! But with the threat of Xana, it was a double edged sword.

With this, he finally gave in to his body and fell asleep, instantly beginning to dream about Xana.

When Jason woke up, he was instantly hungry. He glanced over to Aelita to see that she was still passed out. Then he descended the stairs into the kitchen. Jason quickly made himself a bowl of cereal. He wasn't in the mood to make himself anything more special.

After eating, Jason needed to find a way to keep occupied while he waited. So, with that in mind, he headed towards the basement.

His basement was a floor almost entirely created exclusively for him. Across the hall from the stairs was Jonathan's office, with his computers and programming tools. By taking the left door from the hallway, Jason's Lego display room could be found. Jason entered this door and looked around. Lining the walls were tables carrying Jason's many Lego projects. On a table near the door was his gunblade replica. Based off the model "Revolver" from Final Fantasy VIII, this took Jason's dad a lot of money. Jonathan had to physically go over to Japan himself to request it. The makers of Final Fantasy refused initially, but with Jonathan's resources, they eventually agreed. They made it and delivered it to him shortly. Jason was ecstatic when he saw his amazing birthday present. Jason treasured it endlessly and even taught himself how to fight with it.

The most notable of his display shelves contained still battles. Lego Darth Vader was still chopping off the arm of Lego Spiderman; Lego Boba Fett was still in a deadly struggle with a Lego knight, and his Slave 1 blasting a sailing ship. Jason's favorite battle scene was the one on his left. It consisted of a custom built character created to look like Sephiroth, wielding a custom blade made to look like Masamune. He was fighting five others, and he was surrounded by the bits and pieces that had once belonged to twenty or so other Lego characters.

Looking to his left, Jason saw the music room. He smiled. That would do nicely. Walking in there, he took a quick look around. Mom's electric piano was against the wall right in front of him. To his right were Uncle Michael's drums. Whenever he came over, Michael would be banging on those drums, much to the annoyance of the family. On Jason's left were his guitars and amplifiers. Jason had been into guitar ever since his grandfather showed them to him. He had taken private lessons for them, and had eventually become too good for them. His tutor had refused to teach him any longer due to the fact that Jason was now better than him.

Jason picked up his favorite guitar and plugged it into his amplifier. He turned the volume way down so he didn't wake Aelita up. Jason searched his mind for a suitable song. He chose the song What Kind of Fool am I by Rick Springfield. Rick was his favorite song artist, so it was only natural that he should choose a song by him.

Jason pressed the button on his CD player so that the backtrack of the song began to play.

"I wonder who she's seeing tonight
Is she really going out with him
He's not her type
And doing all the things she used to do to me
Well, I'd say something to her
But I get so jealous
When I think of her loving somebody else
That I can't think why we ever let go
I must have been crazy

Jason took a breath before he began the intense part. He was getting into the song already!

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

Jason's fingers began to hurt slightly. The chords were doing a number on his fingers.

She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby, she could love
And she loved me like nobody ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtain fell and the lights came up
But the gods or whatever make the world go round
Shuffled when they should have cut

Jason found himself smiling broadly as he began the next chorus. He was getting that feeling of ecstasy that he usually got when playing a song. No, not a song. A musical story.

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

His fingers became raw and red as he rocked into the bridge. However, Jason didn't even feel the pain at all. He was loving it too much to care.

Did it come too easy to the two of us
Did we go too wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right

Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,
To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I

Oh baby, please, oh baby, please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we could work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye

Tell me what kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
To lose you"

Jason hit the last chord and let out a breath, half happy and half sad that the song was over. Blood trickled slowly from the tips of his fingers. That was the price he had to pay for guitar playing, but he would gain new calluses anyway.

Jason felt a presence behind him. He ignored it, believing it to be Vincent. That is, until it spoke.

"Wow! That's some of the best guitar playing I've ever seen!" said an awed voice from behind me.

I turned around to face the speaker. It was Aelita, standing in the doorway looking at me with admiration.

"Whoa! Hang on! You shouldn't be up and about already! Not with those burns!" Jason practically screamed. Before Aelita could say another word, Jason had brought her a chair with the seat back. He made her sit down and relax before he would listen to another word.

"They don't feel that bad, really!" Aelita protested vainly.

"That's because I treated them!" Jason said, cutting her off. "You looked terrible when I found you." Aelita looked thankful for a second, before the look shifted to confusion.

"Where am I?" she asked, looking around. "What is this place?"

"You're at my house. After I found you in Metral woods, I brought you here for treatment," Jason clarified, knowing he had a LOT to explain. Aelita looked dumbstruck.

"Metral woods?! But…that's in America! How did I get to America!?" Aelita cried. Jason decided that now was the best time to break the full news to her.

"You're not just in America, Aelita. You're in another world," he told her.

"How…how do you know my name? I've never seen you before in my life!" she began to panic. She seemingly had not noticed my comment.

"Like I said, you're in another world," Jason said, patiently. He knew what she was going through.

"How is that possible?" Aelita said, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"I don't know everything, but somehow you were transported from your world to mine. Not only are you completely isolated from everything you once knew, they don't even exist here. It's just a TV show," Jason explained. She looked skeptical. He expected this. There was no way she would believe this just off the bat.

"Are you making this up?" she asked suspiciously. Luckily, Jason had the perfect way to prove it.

"No. I can prove it," he answered.

"Okay. Please do so, then," Aelita demanded.

"Lyoko, Xana, factory, scanner, krankrelat, krabe, block, hornet, tower, Franz Hopper!" Jason rapidly listed off everything from the show that he could think of off of the top of his head. Aelita started. If it was possible for her to look more surprised than she did now, Jason would eat his guitar. Before her reaction could begin, Jason cut her off.

"Just, tell me the last thing you remember in your world," he told her. This sometimes works in situations like this.

"I was in Lyoko, fighting against a…there was a…black, skeleton…thing. It attacked me, and it just went blank," Aelita began and then just stopped.

"Oh my, I'll never see my friends again!" she yelled, beginning to cry. Jason quickly went over to her and held her shoulder. She surprised him by hugging him and crying on his shoulder. Jason tensed immediately. He had a girlfriend, but he was still immensely girl-shy. That and he hardly knew Aelita. In real life that is.

"I don't care what Xana may think. I swear to God and all things holy, I will get you back to your friends, even if it is the last thing I do!" Jason said in a rock hard tone. He figured out that the things in the TV show were much more different that in her reality. This was a despicable thing for Xana to do.

Aelita composed herself quickly, and awkwardly let Jason go. His shoulder was soaked in her tears, and she blushed slightly on seeing this.

"I'm sorry, I, uh," she began.

"Don't mention it," Jason finished. She smiled weakly.

"Can you tell me a bit more?" Aelita asked, somewhat hesitantly. Jason nodded. The more she knew, the better.

"I know everything about your world because I watch it by way of my TV. Your world is a TV show here," Jason began. "I also happen to be your biggest fan!"

"That's…kind of creepy," Aelita said, staring.

"Yeah, it kinda is," Jason said, scratching my head. They looked at each other for a second, and then they both laughed.

"But what about Xana?" Aelita said, putting an end to the amusement.

"He did a very good job of getting you out of the way, because I have no idea of how to get you back. You'll just have to stay with me for now while think things over." Jason replied.

"You don't mind?" Aelita inquired. He shook my head.

"Not at all. I've actually been somewhat bored. Ha, this definitely put an end to my boredom!" Jason joked. Aelita giggled a little. It heartened Jason to see her amusement. At this point in time, she needed it.

"Come to my room, I want to show you my computer." I informed her. Aelita nodded in agreement.

"OH! You have one?! I wanna see!" she cried, somewhat girlishly. Jason grinned.

"But I do need to change out of these dirty clothes," Aelita said.

"I have some small clothes that I don't wear anymore. You can look through those until I can buy some for you," Jason told her.

They walked up together to his bedroom. Of course he had to wait outside while she changed into a clean set of his smallest clothes. (Jason tried as hard as he could to keep perverted thoughts out of his head. Those thoughts were reserved for Jeremy).

When Aelita opened the door to let Jason in, he saw that she was wearing a simple set of jeans and a light blue T-shirt. It didn't look too boyish. It actually looked rather cute on her.

Jason then spent the rest of the day showing her around his computer and the advanced programs that it had. Aelita was fascinated by every little thing and insisted on seeing each and every program. With any other girl, Jason would have been impatient beyond words. It was different here, because he was with Aelita. Aelita had always been Jason's favorite character, and now that she was sitting in his room, talking and laughing with him……it was almost too good to be true. On the other hand, Jason was glad she was having a good time. Most other girls would be traumatized by the whole teleportation thing. Aelita seemed to have a strong-willed mind.

At approximately 9:00 pm, Aelita told Jason that she was tired and wanted to sleep. Jason was slightly surprised at the early bedtime, but then he realized that she had been on a school schedule all her life. That and she was still rather new to the whole sleeping thing.

Aelita saw that it was my room and politely began to set herself up to sleep on the floor. Jason refused to even think about letting a girl like her sleep on the floor and insisted that she sleep on the bed. He ignored all of her protests and took his place on the floor.

"Thank you," Aelita whispered softly.

"Good night, Aelita," Jason told her. Then Jason looked up at the ceiling to see a strange light hovering above him.

"What were you worried about?" Jason joked softly.

I'm keeping the outtakes from before, simply because no one has apparently seen them. Fan-made outtakes welcome. PM them to me.

OUTTAKES:

1.

"Well, then he did a very good job of getting you out of the way, because I have no idea of how to get you back. You'll just have to stay with me for now while think things over." I replied. "I'm your biggest fan!"

"OH MY GOD YOU PERV!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!," Aelita screamed, scrambling against the door. I cursed.

"What's wrong?" I asked. Aelita responded by opening the door and running out into the street still screaming about perverts and what the world is coming to.

"Come back! I didn't even get your phone number yet!!" I cried, and then cursed again.

2.

"Come to my room, I want to show you totally my awesome, pimped out computer!" I informed her. Aelita nodded in agreement.

"Sure, that would be cool, because we all know how interesting computers are. And there's no way I'm going near that computer if it's 'pimped out.'" she said sardonically.

We walked up together to my bedroom. I tried to follow her in, knowing that she would want to change into cleaner clothes. Instead, I got smashed in the face from my own door. Oh curses!! That really hurt!

"Oh God," I said simply before fainting.

That was probably extremely lame, but it's my first attempt. Review and tell me your thoughts!
