Code Lyoko Meets Calvin and Hobbes-Chapter 7

Calvin woke up the following morning from a restless night of sleep and unpleasant dreams. There was a vague feeling of dreariness in the air as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat up in his sleeping bag. He glanced over at Hobbes, who growled a little and rolled over in his sleep. Calvin sighed a deep, longing sigh. Things were on his mind.

"Why the long face?" Calvin jumped a little. He hadn't noticed that Aelita was awake. She stood by her desk, looking over at Calvin.

Calvin looked down at the ground. "Oh, nothing too unexpected. I'm just sort of homesick after being here so long. I can't imagine how worried my parents must be. Well, at least we're in good hands. I can't thank you guys enough for taking care of us so well."

Calvin's parents were, as a matter of fact, completely out of their minds with worry. When Calvin didn't show up the night he disappeared, they went out calling and searching for him for hours. When he still didn't show up, they immediately contacted the officials, who showed up at their house minutes later. After a brief conference with Calvin's parents, they ordered a search party who began searching in the last place Calvin was known to be, the woods.

As you could probably figure out, no trace of him or Hobbes was found.

Aelita couldn't really think of what to say. That statement was unexpected coming out of Calvin. "And Aelita?" he asked. She turned around.

"Yes?"

"Why does Jeremie hate me and Hobbes so much?"

Aelita sighed. "Oh, he doesn't hate you guys. He's just stressed right now, what with having to find a way to get you guys back, and midterms coming up…"

"Of course, you're just saying that so we won't be offended."

Aelita walked over to her backpack. "No, really. You can't take it personally."

Calvin got up out of his sleeping bag. "Whatever you say."

At this point, Hobbes had woken up and was stretching and yawning sleepily. He got up out of his sleeping bag, walked over to the mirror in Aelita's room, and began brushing his fur. Aelita was finally ready for school. She bid them farewells, and walked out of the dorm to her classes. Calvin changed out of his pajamas and into his clothes when she was gone, and Hobbes pulled a comic book TJ had given him out of the bag Ulrich had given him.

The day went by slowly. The dynamic duo mainly snooped, goofed around, and, once or twice, when no one was around, ran out to the vending machine to get some candy or juice. Still, dreariness hung in the air, and everything seemed remotely depressing that day.

At around four o clock that day, Ulrich burst into the room, telling them to hurry and come with him. "What's going on?" asked Hobbes.

Ulrich caught his breath before answering. "Jeremie tells us that he's made some sort of huge breakthrough in finding a way to get you guys back. Aelita had to go the factory, and told me to get you guys. Now hurry!"

The three of them ran out into the hall, pausing when they got the turn leading into the hall perpendicular to that one. "Okay," Ulrich whispered, "I know a shortcut leading to the factory from the school, but it's in the building across from this one. So, we're going to have to be slick to get to it. Stay low, and I'll tell you when and where to move. When Calvin and Hobbes both nodded in understanding, he said, "Okay, let's go," and off they went.

After much sneaking and dashing, they finally made it into the building across from theirs. Then, there was still the challenge of getting past the two teachers who were standing in the hall to the door leading to the factory. "Okay, here's the plan," said Ulrich, "I'll distract the teachers and get them to leave, and as soon as they're completely out of sight, you guys will go through the door." The plan worked as expected, and within no time they were at the factory, next to Jeremy as he sat at his computer. The rest of the gang was already there, and Jeremy soon explained what was going on.

"As you all know, I've made a great breakthrough in finding a way of sending Calvin and Hobbes back." He wiped his glasses before continuing. "Well anyways, it seems that when you two went into Lyoko," he said, meaning Calvin and Hobbes, "Your DNA was programmed into the computer. Well, when I found this out, I performed a search, and the computer found DNA matching exactly to your parents. I performed another search, and found all of their legal records. So I may have a lead to work off of," he finished.

Everybody became excited, particularly Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin jumped up in the air and cheered in victory. Once he was calm again, he walked up to Jeremie and asked, "So, you know how to get us back?" Jeremie frowned.

"No," he replied, "but I almost do. This is a huge step. The computer obviously knows something about your dimension, which means it might know how to get there. I'm going to do some more work, and-" He was cut off by a huge shaking and thundering. Odd and Aelita lost their balance, and the rest grabbed onto whatever was close by to keep from losing theirs.

"Shit, what the hell was that?!" screamed TJ.

Ulrich nudged him. "Language!"

TJ shrugged. "Whatever, I'm going to go check. He climbed up the ladder in there to the deck which was above the rest of the room, where there was a window overlooking the bridge leading to the factory. The rest of the gang watched as he paced over to the window. When he looked out of it, they watched him quizzically as his expression changed from serious to shocked.

Ulrich called up to him, "What do you see?"

All TJ could utter was, "Come look." Everybody shifted their gaze to Ulrich, who only shrugged and walked over to the ladder. He climbed up and walked over to the window where TJ was standing. When he looked out, his eyes nearly popped out of his head and he gasped.

Before either of them could say anything to their friends below, there was a huge boom, the lights flickered out, and the roof caved in.
