Sorry it took me a while to upload my story. I have been very busy.

Jeremie looked at him with tears running down his face and said, "I can tell you everything." So Jeremie relayed the whole story, from the part when Aelita and he were running to when Aelita got up from his lap. Ulrich and Odd were shocked that Jeremie had the nerve to ask Aelita to be his girlfriend, because of how shy he was, and how he would blush when Aelita was too close to him.

After Jeremie was done, Doctor Larrymond came over to the group and said, "All went well. So far nothing is wrong. She is now resting in the ICU. We would like to watch over her for a couple of weeks. We usually do not allow this, but will let you five go in to see her."

Jeremie was scared to go in to see Aelita. Yumi had to go up to him and almost pick him up. She put her arm around him and ushered him into the room that Aelita was in. When they got in the room, they saw Aelita in bed asleep, with a white gauze wrap around her beautiful pink hair. When Jeremie saw this, he ran up and started to stroke her face and grab her hand, and he just sat there in a chair by her bed, not wanting to let go.

Two hours after they came into that room, the principal went up to the front desk and said, "Um, nurse, in room 314 there is a boy name Jeremie Belpois. He has blond hair and wears glasses. I was wondering, do you think he could stay with Aelita Stones? He kind of feels responsible for what happened to her and they just became boyfriend and girlfriend today."

"We usually do not allow that kind of thing, but I don't see why not if it will help him get over what happened to her," said the nurse.

The principal came in to see the children had started to fall asleep, watching Aelita breathing. So he went up to them and said, "Yumi and boys, I think it is about time to go."

Jeremie stood up with Aelita's hand still in his and said, "Sir, if you do not mind, I really want to stay here with Aelita, at least until she wakes up." The others looked up and made gestures like they wanted to stay too.

So Principal Delmas said, "Jeremie, you can stay. The nurse said yes; I asked her a couple of minutes ago. I am sorry but I believe the rest of you need to go back, and Yumi, your parents might be worried. I will drop you off at home and bring the boys back to the school. Odd, when we get back I want you to go to Jeremie's room and grab him some clothes and Ulrich, you grab Sissi, my daughter, and grab some of Aelita's clothes. Is that understood?"

"But sir..." said everyone but Jeremie, at the same time.

"No more buts. We are leaving. Say good-bye or I will have Jim, the gym teacher, staying in front of your rooms so you will not try anything funny," said Principal Delmas.

They all said good-night to Jeremie and left with the principal. "Sir, can Yumi help me get Aelita's things instead of Sissi? Then you can drop her off at home on the way back to the hospital," said Ulrich.

"If you want it that way I think I can do that it will give me more time to explain to the Ishiyamas about what is going on," said Principal Delmas.

When they got to the school, they each went to the places they were ordered to go and then they came back to the principal's office with a bag. They knocked and heard a faint "Come in." So they went in. When he saw them he said, "Good, you all are back. Ready to go Yumi? I called your parents and told them I am bringing you home. They were starting to get worried. I also told them I would explain why you are late and why I am bringing you home."

"Thanks, sir I appreciate that you are going to talk to them. I might break down trying to explain it myself," said Yumi, as they were walking out of the school building. "Sir, do you think after school tomorrow you can take me and the boys back to the hospital to visit Aelita?"

"Yumi, tomorrow is a Sunday. You have no school. But if you still wish I can come by your house with the boys. That is, if they do not sneak out tonight," he said.
