Bonus Chapter: Reunion
Christopher's POV
Aelita and I were on our way home from work with our daughter, Maya, when I got a call from someone I haven't heard from in ten years. I answered the phone while it was hooked up to the car and answered.
"Nice to hear a familiar voice, Odd." I said, surprising my wife.
"Good to hear from you too. How've you been, pal?" Odd said.
"Not bad. How about you?"
"Can't complain. Hey, the others are meeting up with us in Central Park. I hope you can come."
"Of course we'll come. What did you expect?"
"Great. See you guys there."
"Alright. We're on our way." I told him as I hung up the phone. I turned right and Maya got confused.
"Daddy, where are we going?" She asked me.
"To see some old friends, honey." I told her. We finally arrived in Central Park and got out and went to the picnic area, where I spotted an all too familiar hairstyle.
"I see you've still got the spiked up look, Odd." I said, making him jump a little, which made me and Aelita laugh.
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny." He said.
"I thought it was." A voice came from the table.
"Hey, Ulrich."
"Hey, don't we get a greeting?" I looked to see another blonde man with glasses and I immediately recognized him.
"Jeremie!" I said. Just then, another man, with raven hair came walking up.
"William!" I exclaimed. He and I shook hands while Aelita was talking to the ladies. We all then reconnected with each other when I saw four kids with Maya.
"Who's whose child?" I asked.
"Yuri." Ulrich called to a girl that looked like Yumi, but with his hair color.
"Vincent!" Odd called as a boy with hair the same color as Sam's, but in his spiked up look, came to him.
"Jake!" William called to a boy, that had Laura's fashion style, but his hair color, came over to him.
"Kayla!" Jeremie called to a girl that had glasses like his, but brown hair like Chelsea's, came to him.
"And I guess that leaves one child left." William said.
"Maya." I called my daughter over.
"These are some old friends of mine. This is Odd Della-Robia, Ulrich Stern, Jeremie Belpois, and William Dunbar. Guys, this is my daughter, Maya." Just then, our wives all came over to us and decided we should head back to mine and Aelita's house. We all got in our cars, and they followed us back to our house.
"Wow. Nice place." Sam said.
"And convenient too , since we literally live around the corner." Odd added.
"No kidding. We all live not that far from each other." Ulrich stated. We all then went inside and Maya led the other kids to a special game room we made for her. Vincent was ecstatic to hear about the room. She led them to it while we all played catch up.
"Anybody want a drink?" I asked.
"What do you got?" William asked.
"Wine, whiskey, and beer. You know what I'll have, baby."
"I don't need telepathy to know that." I joked.
"What about y'all?"
"You got any Sake?" Yumi asked.
"Yes we do." I replied. I poured her some and headed it to her.
"Beer for the rest?" I asked, earning nods from the others. I poured some beer for everyone but me and Aelita. I poured her some whiskey and myself some wine.
We then drank and talked the night away. I was grateful it was a Friday.
What do you guys think? I took the idea of Aelita's favorite drink being whiskey from I heart Lyoko's story, Code Lyoko Afterwards (Chapter 2). I also took the idea of my character liking wine from the top of my head. As for the kids' names, I took Maya's from the series. The other kids' names, I just chose the first one that popped into my head.
