Right I can't believe how demanding some of my readers are becoming! As soon as I've posted a new chapter up, they demand another! Sheesh. Well I shall honour your demand just this once as I am now celebrating that I have completed all my A level exams does a little dance. So here's the deal, I update now, you lot review and in a few days I'll update again. By the way, I've just realised there are a few spelling errors earlier in the story, so sorry about that. Ok, I've waffled now, this new chapter is dedicated to my friend Leanne (she's just read this and demanded more) and mirawriter (who is the best reviewer of this story so far, who also demanded more). So please enjoy my dear friends!

"Aelita? Are you ok?"

"Huh? What?… oh sorry. Must have been daydreaming again." Aelita replied, whipping around to see a young girl of eight, with bright purple eyes to match her short purple hair, looking at Aelita with a slight skeptical look on her face.

"You sure? I really don't want to have to try and get his attention to make sure, do I?" the girl asked rolling her eyes at the seven year old Aelita.

"I'm sure Shelly. Are you ok? Aelita asked giggling slightly at Shelly's reaction, as she stood up from her large, pink bed and walked over to the window where Shelly was standing. For their ages, both girls where mature and respected each other greatly.

"Shelly, why does dad really want you to act as someone else other than my older sister? Is it because of your 'gifts'?" Aelita asked. She was still unsure about what Shelly could do, but knew better to ask Shelly rather than asking her father.

"Come with me a minute Aelita. I need to go somewhere peaceful for a bit." Shelly said as she made her way across Aelita's room towards the door. Aelita knew where Shelly wanted to go and followed her down the stairs of their house, out of the back door and across the wall at the end of the garden. They walked in silence until they reached the River Seine and sat down near the water. Even though it was the beginning of September and nine o'clock at night, the bright, luminous moon shone in the sky, casting a large reflection upon the water which looked like a white pathway across to the other side.

It was a mild evening so the girls were wearing strappy t-shirts and shorts with sandals on their feet. Aelita shivered slightly which caught Shelly's attention and made her move closer to her sister and wrap an arm around her. Aelita snuggled into Shelly and both girls sat in silence watching the clouds move across the sky and in front of the moon. It was a while before anyone spoke and broke the silence.

"The reason Franz doesn't want me to be your sister is because I'm a freak and can be dangerous to anyone, anytime. Even though I've told him I would never hurt you in any way, he said it's the best if you didn't know the truth. I weren't even supposed to tell you I was your sister! But you saw what he did to me when he found out." Shelly explained quietly, turning her head to look at her younger sisters short, pink ruffled hair only to see her beautiful pink, sparking eyes looking directly at her.

"I understand Shelly. But you're not a freak! I don't understand your powers properly because I've not seen you use them. But whatever they are like, I don't care. We are here to protect each other. If I protect you from dad, you can protect me in the future. Deal?" Aelita questioned before snuggling back into her sister, not really wanting to move again. Shelly thought about what Aelita had said before smiling and turning her head so she could gaze at the moon again before replying:

"Deal!"

The girls sat in silence until Shelly twitched and turned her head around as far as she could to see her father, Franz Hopper, walking rapidly towards them, out of the corner of her eye. Shelly looked down at Aelita, and even though Shelly had jerked around and was now in a different position, she didn't move. Aelita had fallen asleep. Franz Hopper was now within range and before he said something Shelly put a finger to her lips to motion him to be quiet. Franz stopped and looked at his eldest daughter and noticed she was pointing to Aelita. His anger faded slightly at the sight of his youngest and looked at Shelly indicating she could carry her back home.

Shelly nodded and closed her purple eyes as a soft purple glow began emanated from her body, as Aelita slowly levitated higher and higher. Shelly opened her eyes and began walking slowly back to the Hermitage, making Aelita levitate all the way. Shelly finally got Aelita back to her room and placed her softly on the bed before releasing her hold on her and closing the door as she left, to let her sister sleep peacefully.

"How DARE you take my daughter out at that time of night! Especially with you Michelle!" Franz shouted. It was now seven thirty in the morning and Franz made sure Shelly didn't get away with taking Aelita out of the house without him. Aelita had been woken up by the sound of her fathers shouting and had quickly thrown on a yellow t-shirt, a short black skirt and a pink over-jacket and began walking slowly downstairs.

"But Franz…" Shelly started.

"Oh shut up! And I haven't even started on what you did!" Franz shouted louder, glad that there wasn't any neighbours close by.

"Hey! You nodded at me saying at me that I could! I got your permission!" Shelly shouted back. Aelita had sat on a stair watching her father, who was lent on the fireplace, shout at her sister, Michelle, who was sat down on the couch.

"I nodded at you to say you could CARRY her back! Not flaming LEVITATE her!" Franz retaliated, going slightly red in the face.

"Then you should have indicated that clearer!" Shelly said as she stood up and began walking towards the back door. Franz moved quickly and grabbed Shelly's wrist and spun her around to face him.

"You are not going anywhere! You are to remain in the basement until I say! Do you understand me?" Franz said through gritted teeth.

"I understand" Shelly said, yanking her hand out of his grip. "But I'm not going in the basement. I'm going outside near the river and stay there as long as I want!" Shelly said whilst a faint purple glow began to form around her. Franz immediately backed away and looked shocked that she would even dare use her powers on him. Shelly smiled mischievously and began walking out of the back door, the purple glow still emanating from her just to make sure Franz didn't follow.

Aelita sat in silence on the stair slightly shocked at what had happened. Why was her father so afraid of Shelly? Did she do something to him? Or was it the other way around? Had father done something to Shelly to make her angry at him all the time? Aelita decided to find out! But before she could she noticed her father making his way towards the stairs which made her quietly run up the stairs to her room, jump in her bed and pretend to fall asleep. She heard her father enter her room and make his way across to her bed.

"Aelita. Wake up! It's time for school. You'll be late. Come on!"

"I don't wanna go to school! I wanna stay here! Please?" Aelita murmured, still pretending.

"School? Who mentioned school? Aelita, Xana's attacking! We have to go to the factory.!"

"Huh… What?" Aelita said as she opened her eyes and saw Shelly sitting next to her on the bed, fully dressed, shaking Aelita to wake her up.

"Shelly? Where am I? Where's dad gone?" Aelita asked, clearly confused as to how she got from the hermitage to her dorm in Kadic high.

"Aelita? Are you ok? Look hurry up and get dressed. We're meeting the others at the factory!" Shelly said with a slightly worried look on her face as she stood up and pulled out her mobile.

'What was that? Was it all a dream? It seemed so real though! I 'll ask Shelly later if it did happen. Oh well… best get up then. Why is Shelly talking to Jeremy on her mobile? Oh flip! Xana!'

With that Aelita got up and got dressed before Shelly had even finished her conversation with Jeremy. Shelly hung up and looked at Aelita who was almost fully dressed and started walking towards the door.

"Shelly? Can I ask you something later? It's kinda bugging me." Aelita asked as she followed Shelly out of the school towards the sewer entrance.

"Yeah sure. But first we need to go to Lyoko! Otherwise the tsunami is gonna hit the factory!" Shelly said as she ran down the sewer as Aelita rode on her scooter. Once at the factory Jeremy updated them on the tsunami.

"The tsunami will hit the factory in less than fifteen minutes. So we need to move quickly. Shelly are you going into Lyoko too? Cause you can transport them closer to the tower, correct?"

"Yeah, I can. But I won't be able to get right next to it. There's a field around the towers which stops me from transporting straight next to it. But I'll try." Shelly replied. She backed away from the group and closed her eyes.

"Ultramon. Virtualisation!" She said before disappearing and appearing in Lyoko. "Hey! Are you lot coming or not!"

"Whoa! How did ya do that Shell?" Odd asked clearly shocked at what she did. Since it was the first time that the group had seen Shelly enter Lyoko her own way, they were quite impressed.

(sighs)"We don't have time to explain now. So MOVE!" Shelly's last comment made Yumi, Ulrich, Odd and Aelita run for the elevator and be transferred to Lyoko.

"Finally! The tower is north west of us and there are a few monsters on the way. We need to move quickly though. I can get you all past the crabs and hornets, but no closer towards the blocks or megatanks."

"That's ok Shelly. I'll stay behind and get rid of these monsters here and see if I can cause a distraction for you. Now go!" Ulrich said as he pulled out his katana and supersprinted towards the tower whilst Shelly made a comment under her breath about being called Ultramon when in Lyoko. The group saw Ulrich disappear around a corner and paid attention to Ultramon. They stood in a circle and closed their eyes. Ultramon did they same and a purple glow started to form around her which then spread to the others until all four of the members were glowing purple. Ultramon concentrated and with a swift movement of her hand, the group transported across the region and landed as close to the tower that they could. Ultramon held her hand out to help Aelita from falling, Yumi landed on her feet but was slightly wobbly, and Odd landed on all fours then fell on his butt.

"Why is whenever I come to Lyoko lately, I always land on my butt!" Odd asked as he got up from the ground and rubbed his butt. The girls giggled slightly as he did so.

"Sorry Odd. Might have been my fault that. Kinda lost concentration due to Xana!" Ultramon explained.

"Why, what do you mean?" Yumi asked.

"He…er… communicates with me sometimes." Ultramon replied as she turned her head so she didn't have to see three faces full of shock stare at her.

"I'll explain later, ok? But right now, we have to get through the last batch of monsters. So if ya don't mind, I'll take care of them." Ultramon said after a slight silence.

Ultramon walked out into the centre of the path and made sure the monsters noticed her by whistling long and sharp. Once their attention was on her, Aelita, Yumi and Odd made their way silently towards the tower but stopped short as a huge purple wave of power was released from Ultramon, as soon as it hit the monsters they were instantly destroyed which left a clear path to the tower entrance. Aelita, Yumi and Odd came out from the back of the tree and looked at Ultramon, who just smiled at them as she motioned Aelita to get to the tower. Aelita took the hint and ran into the tower just as Ulrich caught up to the others.

"I thought you said there were a load of monsters here? How'd ya get rid of them so quick?" Ulrich asked.

"Ultramon got rid of them all in one go! It was cool! You should have seen it, it was a massive power wave which destroyed them all!" Odd said excitedly.

"Really? Cool!" Ulrich replied, looking at Ultramon with a smile on his face.

"It wasn't that big of a deal. Anyways, time to go home." Ultramon said as a white sphere made the others materialise on Earth, leaving Ultramon to devirtualise her own way.

"Ultramon. Devirtualise!"

"That's cool how you do that Shell!" Odd said as he, Aelita, Ulrich and Yumi met Shelly and Jeremy in the elevator. Shelly just shrugged and moved closer to Aelita and dropping her voice so only she could hear.

"I'll talk to you about that dream later in our room, ok?"

Aelita looked at Shelly, shocked that she knew what she wanted to ask her before. Aelita nodded and exited the elevator and made her way back to school in silence, listening to Shelly tell the others what kind of powers she had.
