This is the ending, the incredibly shallow... bland... ending.


The warriors found themselves sitting at their table for breakfast, the morning of the incident.

"Are we…" Began Yumi.

"Yup!" Jeremie was already almost out the door, Yumi and Ulrich quickly followed. Odd grabbed some of the remaining food before also following.

Jeremie ran as fast as he could, hoping that Aelita hadn't used the drugs yet. He passed by Jim, who hollered something that he was too focused to hear, his friends would deal with him though.

As he arrived at Aelita's dorm, he noticed the door was ajar, and so, without pleasantry, he burst into the room.

"AELITA!?" He shouted, searching frantically for his angel.

A snore caught his attention, and his gaze landed on the bed, where a pink-haired form was sleeping peacefully despite all that had happened.

Jeremie relaxed himself, she was safe, and that was all he had wanted.

The peace of the moment, was shattered by the arrival of Yumi and Ulrich, with Odd and an angry Jim in tow.

"Jeremie! Is she-?" Ulrich began to ask but Jeremie quickly shushed him.

Pointing to the form on the bed, he mimed walking out quietly.

"BELPOIS!" Shouted Jim, causing Jeremie to cringe. "I know a teenage scheme when I see one! And this is definitely a teenage scheme!"

"I tried to stop him! I swear!" Said Odd.

"What's the matter Jim?" Said Jeremie, maybe he could stall Jim long enough to figure out an excuse.

"What's the matter!? You think that running by at 88 miles an hour is acceptable?" Jim crossed his arms. "And I conveniently find you outside the dorm of the girl who is apparently your new girlfriend!"

"Well, she was late to breakfast… and I kinda thought…" Jeremie said.

Jim shook his head. "That doesn't match the amount of urgency I saw! I bet that you're trying to pull something in the dorms that the last students that did got EXPELLED!"

Jeremie became so red that he may as well have been purple. "I.. wouldn't… uh.."

"It's not like that Jim!" Intervened Odd. "You see, Aelita has a case of, um, involuntary laughalitus! Highly contagious!"

Laughing from behind the door saved Odd from Jim's response. It opened to reveal a rested and healthy Aelita. "I can't… stop… laughing!" She got out, between laughing fits.

"You see Jim!?" Odd continued, going along with the show. He took Aelita by the shoulders, disregarding Jim. "Let's get you back to bed…"

"Huh." Admitted a surprised Jim. "I've never heard of this disease."

"It's new, it just got classified , uhh, recently…" Said Jeremie. That was pretty much true.

"This reminds me of the time I got a new disease when they had just classified it." Jim said, looking fond of the fact.

"You did?" Asked Jeremie, knowing the answer.

Jim's fondness was replaced by revulsion. "Even if I felt like talking about it, you probably get sicker than I was just by listening."

Jeremie chuckled. "I bet."

Just before he closed the door, Jim addressed him again.

"Just so you know, Belpois, I was serious about the kids getting expelled. I hope you and Stones don't have any funny ideas."

Jeremie blushed deeply again, but was able to compose himself. "We don't Jim, once we get married maybe, but not now."

"That's good, wait what!?" Jim wasn't sure he heard correctly. But Jeremie had closed the door.

When he turned around his gaze was obstructed by a very happy Aelita who promptly devoured him in a crushing hug which Jeremie did his best to return. This was why he fought, to be held by her, to hold her himself.

When they finally separated, Jeremie sat her down on the bed. He stood in the middle of the room.

"Aelita… What happened?" He asked.

"It was terrible, it was worse than my nightmares." She then recounted what she remembered seeing under the influence. The others listened raptly. "Then I felt like I was falling, and then just blank."

Yumi and Odd both looked at the floor, Ulrich coughed, Jeremie cringed at the memory of her fall.

She noticed their reactions. "Did something happen?" She was clueless about what had happened.

The gang repeated their previous shows of uncomfort.

"I'll tell you later." Replied Jeremie.

Aelita continued. "I wonder if it was that Chocolate that I had."

"I doubt that, the chocolate I got you could never do that." Jeremie was slightly amused at the idea though.

"I know you'd never get me something to hurt me Jeremie…" They both blushed. "But I mean the chocolate that Sissi gave me."

"Sissi gave you something? Where is it?" Jeremie had to see this so called "
chocolate."

She pointed to her desk. As Jeremie approached, he saw the piece of paper with a picture of chocolate on it.

"LSD huh?" He whispered to himself. He was about to handle it, but Odd stopped him.

"Touching it is enough to get high." He said.

Jeremie raised an eyebrow. "How do you know?"

"A friend…" Odd's smile and the way he winked indicated otherwise.

Jeremie rolled his eyes. "Yeah, ok."

"No really, a friend told me. I'm not into that stuff." Odd displayed his body. "The way I see it, if you take drugs then being svelte doesn't matter! You're just a druggy!"

"I'm sure you aren't into that stuff." Jeremie's voice was layered with sarcasm. "But I really don't care."

Turning to Aelita, he said. "You said Sissi gave you this?"

She nodded.

"I'm going to-" His list of colorful things he would do to Sissi was interrupted by the girl in question.

She addressed them with her usual arrogance. "Hey there losers! I-"

"I'm going to KILL YOU!" Jeremie screamed and lunged for her, only to be restrained by his friends.

"Whoa, chill!" Sissi was clearly frightened that gentle Jeremie had gotten violent. "What did I do?!"

"You gave her drugs, you acid head! You would have killed her!" Jeremie snarled.

Sissi paled. "I- I- don't know what you're talking about!"

"I'll report you to your father, see how many times you have to say "daddy" for him to forgive you!" Jeremie writhed like an animal in his friends grip. "LET! ME! GO! AGHHH!"

"No PLEASE don't tell daddy! He's all I have left!" Sissi pleaded. "I never wanted to hurt anyone!"

Aelita then did release her hold on him, but not for the reason he wanted. "Jeremie…" She walked in front of him. "Jeremie, calm down, please."

"Aelita! She nearly killed you!" Jeremie was in disbelief that Aelita would defend her.

Aelita turned around and approached Sissi, with no malevolent purpose.

"Sissi, I forgive you." She said, sincerely.

Jeremie was speechless, even Odd was at a loss for words.

"Aelita you can't just-" He began.

"Why not? This world needs more forgiveness." She retorted. "Jeremie, forgive her."

Jeremie, looked at Sissi with barely concealed murderous intent. But, he realized, what's done is done. Pummeling Sissi would not unmemorize what he had seen. And so. "I forgive you Sissi…" He said, grudgingly.

Odd, seeking to capitalize on the situation, added. "We won't tell the principal, on one condition, just leave us alone."

"Fine! Whatever you want!" She was frozen in place by Jeremie's stare.

"Get out." He commanded. She was only too happy to comply.

Jeremie was finally released by the 3 holding him after they were certain she had gone. He quickly composed himself.

"Sorry guys, I guess I might have been a bit hormonal." He admitted.

But no one held anything against him. Aelita approached him. "I think it was VERY masculine of you…" His cheeks nearly melted. "You just wanted to protect me, your chosen…"

Neither of them noticed Yumi, Ulrich and Odd slipping out.

"You really- really think so?" Jeremie asked, his blush would probably last for a few years now.

"Oh yes…" She stopped just before she would have gotten intimately close. "But, tell me, what did happen to me?"

Jeremie really didn't want to tell her about her own annihilation, but he told her anyway. Throughout the story she listened like they had listened to her. By the time he finished she was deep in thought.

He waited for her to react. Eventually she said: "You went through all that to save me?"

He responded in the affirmative.

She immediately gave him another crushing hug. "You're so wonderful, Jeremie."

"It's the least I could do fo-" He was cut off by a pair of lips. It was glorious, she was the only thing that existed anymore, and he for her. Passion and love overflowed into this moment, and overflowed infinitely more. This kissed for what seemed like years.

When they separated, they remained hand in hand.

"I have my existence owed to you Jeremie, and I don't think that I could have found a better person to owe it to." She said. "I love you, Jeremie Belpois."

"And I you, Aelita ahh Stones." They both burst into laughter.

"Say Jeremie, you don't think, that after school, we can go visit the chocolate shop again?" She asked.

Jeremie smiled. "Alright Aelita, we can go to the chocolate shop…"

THE END!
