I don't own Code Lyoko, but I do own Cassidy.
FINALLY, The season finales at last. Aelita's coming to Earth.
Jeremie was up late at night. "I'm sure it's going to work this time. Time for Plan Alpha!" He smiled.
The green plus on the screen was a tremendously great sign. The genius minimized the window then called Yumi.
"Yumi! Yumi it's me; Okay I just launched Plan Alpha. My five dry runs have all worked."
Yumi came in from the other line. "Okay, tomorrow, I'll talk to my parents."
"That's great," Jeremie said. "I'll tell Odd, Cassidy, and Ulrich."
"See you tomorrow," Yumi said.
After they hung up, Jeremie went to bed and dreamt of the time that he and Aelita touched fingers. It was a sweet, passionate memory that only he, Aelita, and Cassidy shared.
It made the boy feel all a flutter.
The next morning, at the Ishiyama household, Yumi's parents were finishing off breakfast when she walked into the kitchen. "Uh…Mom and Dad, can I talk to you for a second? It's about my pen pal—uh—you haven't changed your minds about her living here for a while."
"No, but tell us a little bit about her, Yumi. We—we don't even know her name," Yumi's dad came in.
"Aelita!" Yumi said.
"Aelita what?" her mom pushed a little.
"It's Aelita—" Yumi heard Cassidy's advice, Stones. "Uh-um Stones."
"Is she Japanese?" her father tapped his fingers on the table a little.
"Well—um—yeah, she is!" Yumi was lying like a pro…make that a pro times 100.
"And what do her parents do, dear?" Yumi's mother asked.
"They—uh—they work with computers," Yumi lied.
Yumi's mom and dad shared an approving look, and then the latter stood up. "Well, alright, she's welcome to stay with us."
"That's FANTASTIC; I ADORE YOU!" Yumi was excited, both for the fact that lying worked, and that Aelita could stay with them. She kissed her dad, and hugged her mom. "You won't regret it. She's really so nice. Bye, now, see you tonight!" and she ran out the door.
-Principal-
"Very well then, and what is your cousin's name, Odd," the Principal asked.
"Aelita." Odd was smiling.
"Hm…Aelita…and uh where does she come from?" Mr. Delmas asked.
"She's from Canada," Odd said confidently.
The principal looked a hint suspicious, but ignored that feeling. "Well, her papers are in order and your parents have recommended her highly so I see no reason why she can't attend school here. Let me know when she arrives."
When Odd and Ulrich got outside they high-fived each other, excited. "YES!" Ulrich shouted.
They laughed with a tone of victory. "FANTASTIC!" Odd smiled.
They walked until they were stopped by Jim.
"Okay, what are you two up to, huh?" he asked.
Odd showed a smile.
"You know this building is off-limits to students, especially at 8:00 in the morning!" Jim growled.
"We had an appointment with the principal, Jim, about Odd's cousin attending school!" Ulrich said.
"Oho, what a lame excuse. What do you think I am, huh, an idiot?" Jim asked.
"Well…" Odd began.
"Quiet," Jim demanded. "Yeah and you'll bet that I'm not onto your pranks with Jeremie, Cassidy, and Yumi. You disappear in the park like some sort of magic, you plot in you rooms."
"Hey, it's not a crime!" Odd smiled innocently.
"Maybe not. Now you listen up, one of these days I'm going to find out what the five of you are hiding. And now, to the cafeteria, hurry up."
When Odd and Ulrich were outside, they walked in silence before Ulrich spoke. "Ya know what I think? We gotta be careful about Jim. If he keeps playing detective, he's gonna find our secret passage."
"Hey! Hey, guys." Yumi caught up to Odd and Ulrich. "Great news: My parents said okay."
"So did the principal. Odd that was a pretty good letter you faked from your parents." Ulrich smiled to Odd.
"I can't say I'm proud of what I did, but it was for a good cause," Odd said innocently, even though he felt guilty.
Yumi's phone rang. "Cassidy?" a pause then…"On our way."
The trio ran around the cafeteria and up to Jeremie's dorm room.
Jeremie was typing, and Cassidy was excited and nervous when the three came.
"How are you doing, Cassidy?" Ulrich asked.
"I'm giddy. Absolutely giddy," Cassidy smiled. "I'm excited and nervous at the same time; it feels like I'm on a sugar high right now."
"Okay," Ulrich said uncertainly.
Jeremie typed in code after code in the computer with the others waiting with baited breath.
Cassidy paced around, looking at the screen while doing so. She knew but wasn't sure herself if she was right.
Then after the codes and configurations were typed in the computer, it was the computer's turn to process the verdict: Would Aelita stay on Lyoko (Alternatively, would Jeremie fail) or is today's the day (Alternatively, did Jeremie succeed)?
Then the computer said…
A.
Big.
Gorgeously.
Green.
PLUS!
"That's it; we've got it this time! It works! It works!" Jeremie was excited. "I can hardly believe it."
Cassidy stopped in her pacing, ran up to Jeremie and hugged him. "Jeremie, you are the GREATEST! WE DID IT! TOGETHER!" she squealed.
She was able to pull Jeremie out of his chair and off the ground. Then, she put him down, let out a happy whoop, then said, "YE—HAW! WE DONE FOUND A GOLD NUGGET IN THE GOLD MINE! YEAH—HOO!" She jumped up and down.
"Yay!" The others cheered then hugged Jeremie.
"Get Aelita up. She's going to LOVE this!" Cassidy buzzed with excitement.
"On it!" Jeremie smiled happily.
Soon Aelita was up on the computer screen. "Hi, guys!"
"Aelita: WE FOUND THE KEY TO—" Cassidy shouted until Odd covered her mouth.
"Quiet, SHOUTER. You're going to give it away."
Cassidy pulled his hand from her mouth. "Give what away? She's going to know anyway." Turning to Aelita, she started again, "WE FOUND THE KEY TO MATERIALIZATION! AND WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU HERE!" She then danced a happy acting-on-the-spot jig. "I'm just so excited. Today's the day!"
Jeremie was BLOWN AWAY by the dangerous psychic's excited yells. "I…it works." He was shaken a little.
"Oh, Jeremie, that's so great. I can't believe it's true!" Aelita smiled.
"Better get used to it fast because it's time to take the big jump. And then it's, bye-bye XANA!" Odd came in.
"Hold on!" Jeremie placed the materialization disc inside a blank CD case and set it down. "It's not that simple. First, I've got to set up the program in the super-calculator. Then Aelita will have to get to the passage tower in Lyoko's Forest region. That's where she's going to get devirtualized, before she appears in the flesh for the first time inside one of the scanners."
"In that case, I'm off to the forest right now!" Aelita smiled.
"Okay and we'll go to class in the meantime, and afterwards the factory." Jeremie gave the battle plan…if it was a battle plan.
"I'll see you later my friends." Aelita saluted.
"We'll be six for dinner tonight."
"Cassidy, do you always dance when you are excited?" Ulrich was confused.
"Yeah! I love it! It's great!"
Aelita switched sectors.
Jeremie grabbed the wrong CD case, but Cassidy picked the right one. (Just in case, something inside her told her).
Soon they were off and running to classes…until Jim got in the way.
Jeremie stopped. Cassidy tripped on her shoelace and fell. Yumi tripped and fell over Cassidy. Ulrich collided with Yumi, joining the tangle. And Odd tumbled onto the unintentional dog pile.
"Cassidy, why did you have to fall," Yumi asked.
"I didn't mean to," Cassidy panted. She couldn't get up, nor could she wiggle out of the pile. "If it weren't for the BFC, then we wouldn't be in this confounded mess."
"What's wrong, up to no good again, aren't you?" Jim said.
"What, no 'can I get you out of this mess' or 'are you guys okay'?" Cassidy groaned.
"Don't strike that tone with me, young lady," Jim yelled.
"Jim!" Mr. Delmas came.
"Our hero," Yumi managed to smile.
"What is going on here," Mr. Delmas said.
"Oh, I'm glad you're here, sir. I don't know what's going on, but eh, these little devils are up to no good and I intend to find out what it is," Jim said.
"Yes, another one of your absurd stories about secret plots and passages?" Mr. Delmas shot Jim a disapproving look.
"What do you mean 'absurd'?" Jim asked.
"You heard what I said, absurd, Jim," Mr. Delmas said.
"But, I um…"
"Now listen. Your paranoid behavior and your one-track mind concerning these children are getting on my nerves. You're a physical education teacher, not a detective, Jim," Mr. Delmas sighed then looked to the pile behind Jeremie. It looked like a blizzard messed the four others up.
"And you could have at least helped them! Ms. McGuire was right. You should have asked if they were okay instead of acting like they were up to no good."
Cassidy smiled, even though the weight of her friends was almost enough to kill her.
"Thank you, sir," Her chin rested on the floor.
As soon as the four teens were back up on their feet, Cassidy bent over to tie her shoe. Double knotting it, she muttered, "Bet that was a floor burn and a half."
-Lyoko-
Aelita went over to the barrel of paths, and found that the tower was close by. "There it is."
The tower also was guarded by Bloks. "Jeremie, I'm going to need help!"
-Back to Earth-
Soon Yumi was in Italian class and the others were in Biology. "Animals live in all land, air, and sea regions," Mrs. Hertz began.
Cassidy began to fidget in her seat. She was having difficulty sitting still so much that she sat on the floor beside her seat. She was able to sit still there.
Jeremie looked to her. "Cassidy, you don't see the other students sitting on the floor, do you."
"I'm having a hard time sitting in my seat. Sitting here, I feel better."
Jeremie left the psychic alone after that.
"It won't be long now!" Odd smiled to Jeremie.
Jeremie nodded in agreement.
-In Yumi's Italian Class-
"So in Italian, the word città, which of course means city, is invariable. Who can give me another example?" Mr. Fumet asked.
-Back to science-
Jeremie's laptop beeped. He opened it up underneath the table and saw a red exclamation point.
Odd looked too, as did Cassidy. "Aelita's in danger," Cassidy whispered.
"Obviously, this phenomenon depends on certain factors. Who can tell us which ones? Jeremie? Go ahead; we're listening." Mrs. Hertz kind of favored Jeremie and Cassidy.
Cassidy whispered Jeremie the right answer super low that Mrs. Hertz couldn't hear. Then Jeremie said the right answer. (A/N: To which I don't know)
"That's correct."
The bell rang and Cassidy, Jeremie, Odd, and Ulrich dashed out of the room.
"Ulrich, it's your turn!" Cassidy said.
"For what?"
"Calling Yumi, ning-nong!" Cassidy creased a brow.
Ulrich called Yumi and soon, she was in the running as well. "'Mind telling me what's going on?"
"XANA's at it again," Jeremie and Cassidy said together.
"He knows the end is near, and he's not going down without a fight," Odd said.
Soon they were in the factory. Cassidy checked her pockets. The CD was still there. "Whew!" she panted.
"What's 'whew'? XANA's still putting Aelita in danger," Jeremie was mad.
"I salvaged another CD for you," The brown-haired, bespectacled girl smiled.
"Never mind, head for the scanners," Jeremie was nervous. If Aelita was killed, then his research for the materialization program was for naught.
Jeremie pulled up Aelita. "Help is on the way!"
"Better hurry up," Aelita was getting worried.
"Once the coast is clear, go to the center of the tower, and I'll launch the program," Jeremie said.
Cassidy placed the CD case on the chair arm. "Here, in case you picked up Odd's—" she whispered the word as super low to Jeremie so Odd wouldn't hear—"video. Something inside me said, 'Just in case.' Cross your fingers, we need the utmost hope."
Jeremie nodded.
Soon everyone was on Lyoko except Jeremie. He was a supervisor.
"Okay, Jeremie, we're here," Ulrich announced.
"That's great! Get ready, guys, I'm launching the materialization program immediately."
After he let the CD go in, the worst music ever heard was heard.
"Oh, no, what have I done?" Jeremie lamented.
"Let me guess: you put in Odd's video in there?" Cassidy sighed. "Take it out and put in the CD that I gave you."
"At least your intentions were correct!" snorted Ulrich.
Jeremie took out Odd's CD and put in the correct one. "Okay, thanks, Cassidy."
"I not only helped you. I also kept Jim from finding out. I could sense him following us when we were running through the park, but he didn't find our secret passage, thank goodness," Cassidy was filled with relief.
They took the Bloks down. But then the Megatanks were coming.
Turn into a sword like Ulrich's, Cassidy told her tube. It did.
She took to Ulrich's side, but then a…sensation went over her. She held her sword right, but she felt different. For Aelita's sake, said another voice, like this.
Cassidy inwardly nodded.
Ulrich saw this. "Cassidy, are you okay."
She could not talk or move, but was okay.
"Jeremie! Cassidy isn't moving, she's just standing there."
"Is she having a vision?"
"I don't feel or see any signs…wait! Here's one," Ulrich said.
She moved toward the 'Tank. "Leave them. Alone…NOW!" The voice wasn't hers.
The 'Tank was moving strangely as well. Instead of moving forward, it was involuntarily making strange movements backwards. Bumping into a tree, it exploded.
"Oh, my, goodness, CASSIDY!" Yumi yelled. She moved toward the Cat.
"NO!" Cassidy said. Her eyes were the same color at first sight. "Get Aelita to the tower! I'll take the Megatank."
As the next Megatank moved forward, Cassidy placed a hand in front of her. "STOP! Leave, now!"
Aelita got to the center of the platform.
"Are you ready," Jeremie asked.
"Ready!" Aelita said.
"Okay, Code: Earth!" Jeremie said.
Aelita was lifted up into the center of the first and second platforms. The screens whirled around and round her and she disappeared.
Cassidy soon lost the sensation. "What just happened?" she asked.
"Something amazing." Ulrich pulled her in. Soon they met up with Odd and Yumi and soon, they were on Earth.
Everyone was facing the only scanner left. Jeremie included.
The scanner worked hard and the doors opened. The smoke was obscuring the silhouette in the scanner. As the smoke cleared, Jeremie was excited and proud.
"She's here at last!" Jeremie said.
A pink-haired girl was curled up in the scanner. She looked like a normal human being (Curved ears, and regular clothes). She wore a dark pink jacket over a yellow shirt. Her skirt looked to be maroon. Her shoes were pink.
She opened her green eyes and smiled. "Welcome to Earth," Jeremie whispered in a normal tone.
"YAY!" Cassidy yelled.
Ulrich shouted, "YEAH!"
Everyone joined the two cheerers. "Aelita's here!" Shouted Cassidy. She danced another acting-on-the-spot jig.
