Episode 10: Girl of My Dreams
This episode title is weird. On the DVD's it says of my dreams but the actual episode says of THE dreams. I'm choosing the one that makes the most sense.
"Well I'm not so sure." Aelita says. "I'd like to have a best friend who's useless. Do you understand?"
Jeremie leans back and rolls his eyes. "Look I know you are trying to be comforting Aelita, but that was one of the dumbest things I think you have ever said."

"Well I'm not so sure." Aelita says. "I'd like to have a best friend who's useless. Do you understand?"
"No!" Jeremie explodes. "I don't understand Aelita! That doesn't even make any sense!"

Aelita is sitting out in the open. She looks around at the mountain sector and sighs. "I sure am glad that I am outside the tower." She says happily. "Even though there is absolutely no reason to be out, as the program can be launched from inside as well. In fact I'd be of more help in the tower as then I could help modify the program as well. Why am I out here?" she asks before walking back into the tower safely.

Aelita is sitting out in the open. She looks around at the mountain sector and sighs. "I sure am glad that I am outside the tower." She says happily. "It's not like I'm in any danger or anything- say from a rouge A.I that wants to kill me."
!
Aelita hears something behind her and screams loudly. As she is captured she has time for one more thought: "At least Jeremie is still working, so he should be able to hear my scream and know something isn't right and not just go falling for some random girl on a false pretense."
!
"It's been in my family for hundreds of years." Yumi explains.
"And you brought it to a middle school?" Ulrich questions, chuckling softly.
Yumi turns to him in confusion. "What's so funny to you?" she asks.
"Oh it's nothing." Ulrich says. "It's just that anyone who has been to a middle school for like five seconds knows exactly what's going to happen to your thing. It's going to get destroyed." He clarifies.
!
"Okay rolling go ahead." Tamia says starting up the camera.
"Fellow middle school students!" Milly begins happily before turning to Tamia. "Wait hold on."
Tamia stops the camera in confusion and annoyance. "Milly what is it?" she asks. "You ruined a great shot!"
"It's just that." Milly says. "I remember something strange, almost from a dream… of Odd telling us how it was stupid to film anything when we write a newspaper…"
Tamia looks dumbfounded. She turns off the camera and shakes her head. "Even if it didn't really happen, he's still right!"
"How stupid are we?" Milly asks her best friend.

Xana exits a nearby power socket and looks over the suit of armor Yumi had brought in. He swirls around it and chuckles. Hold on he thinks. That small girl pushed the doors closed, I saw it. So how did they just open back open like that? He shrugs and plunges into the samurai armor before realizing something.

Xana exits a nearby power socket and looks over the suit of armor Yumi had brought in. He swirls around it and chuckles. Hold on he thinks. The Asian one brought this in. And she is fighting me and knows how dangerous I am. So why would she bring something like this to school, where she knows I could attack at any time. Look, it even has a sword! A real working weapon! Isn't she supposed to be the sensible one?
!
"I don't believe it!" Odd whispers in excitement. "If that's Aelita, how did she get clothes? Shouldn't she be naked when she gets out of the scanner as she has never been to Earth?"
At this Jeremie's face turns bright red and he smacks Odd in the back of the head. "Get your head out of the gutter Odd!" he whispers angrily.
!
"I'm not in the mood to talk." Taelia says, striding away.
"Well it's not her." Odd says in disappointment.
"What do you mean?" Jeremie yells. "It has to be her! She doesn't have a family because she was virtual!"
"Jeremie!" Yumi hisses. "Remember that little talk we had about using our 'inside voice' when talking about Lyoko or Xana in any way?"
!
"I'm not in the mood to talk." Taelia says, striding away.
"Well it's not her." Odd says in disappointment.
"What do you mean?" Jeremie yells. "It has to be her! She doesn't have a family because she was virtual!"
"Or it means that you have the wrong girl." Yumi says. "I mean, look at it this way, maybe she's an orphan. Think about it. If she was really Aelita and was materialized she should have woken up in the factory right?"
"Yeah, so?" Jeremie says crossly.
"Well, how in blazes would she have managed to figure her way out of the factory, and find her way here in one night?"
"Well that's easy!" Jeremie begins to explain.
"Hold on Einstein!" Odd chimes in. "I'll clarify. Even if she could get to here. How did she get any clothes? If you never went into the scanners as a human, when you materialize, you wouldn't have any on as you had never been here before."
"She could have stolen them!" Jeremie says.
"Hold on Jeremie." Ulrich says cracking his neck. "I'll help you out. Does stealing sound like something Aelita would do?"
"Not if she lost all her memories during the transfer here!" Jeremie says forcefully. "Face it, you can't prove me wrong!"
Yumi stands and focuses. She feels an idea forming and she smiles. "One more thing Jeremie," she says smirking. "How did she manage to get enrolled in this school anyway? I mean, it's a boarding school, meaning it cost money to go here, not exactly cheep. So how could she manage to provide enough proof- say birth certificate, guardian approval, money, and other things if she is Aelita and has none of those things?"
Jeremie begins to stammer under the weight of his friends combined logic. "You forget!" he says triumphantly. "Aelita is a computer genius! It would have been easy for her to do all of that!"
"But aren't you the one who said she had no memories?" Odd asks. "How could she do that if she has no memories?"
Jeremie scowls. "Shit, I guess you're right." He says sadly. "I guess now I won't have to stalk this girl and make her feel like I'm a potential rapist or serial killer."
!
Y= ax +b. The equation stands on the board as the teacher begins to talk. Odd leans over to Jeremie and whispers in bewilderment. "I'm pretty sure we've had this lesson several times already." He says.
Why do we keep having it?"
!
"Like in a storm or snowbound, so you can't pick her up." Odd suggests.
Jeremie swivels around to face him. "Yeah those were great attacks, ones that showed how much control Xana has over Lyoko, it's a shame we will never see any weather control ever again.
!
"Odd it's her!" Jeremie says grasping his friend by the shoulders. "I won't even bother checking the scanner's history to figure out when the last time they were used was. That would be a waste of time."
"Are you sure, it sounds like a pretty good-"
"I said it's a waste of time!" Jeremie yells very quickly and cutting Odd off completely.
!
"I can't reach her on Lyoko!" Jeremie says happily.
"But wait Jeremie!" Odd cautions. "I mean, remember that Guardian that held Yumi captive only a little while ago? We couldn't find Yumi on Lyoko either! And meanwhile Xana just snuck a fake Yumi here to kill us!"
"It's not the same Odd." Jeremie says.
"Why not just send us three in to look around?" Odd says. "It will only take a little time, and then we can know for sure."
Jeremie brightens. "That sounds like a great idea Odd! This way, I can avoid scaring a girl completely and making myself look incredibly stupid!"
!
Oh my god so many ways to prove Jeremie wrong!
"What if the codes I typed in were the right ones?" Jeremie says to himself.
"Wait hold on!" Odd says. "With Aelita off of Lyoko, we can turn the Supercomputer off right?"
"Yeah!" Jeremie says elatedly. "We can kill Xana!"
"So if she is really gone, Xana would have known about it right?" Odd asks.
"Yeah, why?" Jeremie asks in confusion.
"So he should know that once Aelita is gone from Lyoko, we will kill him!" Odd says. "And if he knows that, why not do everything he can to take her back to Lyoko and destroy the program, making you start from scratch again?"
"Shut up Odd!" Jeremie says firmly.
!
Yumi looks over at the fallen curtain and frowns. She looks over to see a scorched looking outlet and gasps. "Xana!" she says in horror.
Above her Xana looks around in surprise looking struck. That- he says. That was a brilliant observation! He says half in anger and half in delight. I mean, she just knows I was the cause of this! It's too bad too. He says in disappointment. She will probably never use this amazing power of deduction even again.
!
"He's after Taelia! Because Aelita is Taelia!" Jeremie says angrily.
"You know I'm sitting right here you know!" Taelia says angrily. "And I am not this Aelita chick you're blabbing on about! Why don't you just ask me where I lived before coming here, instead of being such a freak! I mean really," she says putting her hands on her hips. "Is it really that hard to go to me and say. 'Hey I'm so-and-so, what's your name?' and then just ask where the hell I came from! But nooo you want to be all creepy on me!" she strides past him bumping him furiously with her shoulder as she goes by.
"Well that is definitely not Aelita." Odd says. "And she is right Einstein."
"I'm still not convinced." Jeremie says. Everyone groans and face palms in annoyance.
!
"The materialization gave you amnesia!" Jeremie says frantically.
"Hold on- what?" Taelia says. "Just ask me a question! Haven't you even heard the saying 'everyone has a twin somewhere in the world'? You are wrong."
!
Jeremie strides into Taelia's room about to freak out when he notices her unpacking a suitcase. He slowly closes the door and face palms. "She has a suitcase, meaning that she had travelled from somewhere else before this school." He says to himself. "And to think I was going to spazz out in there for literally no reason.
!
"Follow me."Jeremie says pushing the up button.
Taelia frown in confusion. "Why do you push the up button to go down?"
!
Jeremie pushes in a code that Taelia instantly memorizes. "It's weird," Jeremie says. "This thing has never needed a code before this."
!
"That's Lyoko, the virtual world you used to live in!" Jeremie says his eyebrow twitching erratically.
Taelia frowns. "Now would be a good time to tell him that that isn't true but eh, I think I'll keep this going for a while." She says to herself.
!
"This whole story is crazy!" Taelita says. "And I know I can correct you from your delusions with only a couple sentences, but I think that would just take way too much effort."
!
"It's time you destroyed it once and for all."
"Do- do you really think so?" Jeremie asks.
"Do I think so!" Taelia fumes. "Are you serious! This mad computer virus is trying to kill everyone and you didn't even consider shutting this thing down and destroying it after you thought Aelita was materialized? What, were you just going to let Xana run amuck in the world so you can be nostalgic!" she screams, venom dripping off of every word.
"Maybe?" Jeremie says weekly.
Taelia stands there moth opening and closing in disbelief. Finally she lets out a scream of pure frustration and holds up her hands. "I'm done!" she says angrily going towards the elevator. "I'm going to go call the cops now. And you deserve it too!"

"It's time you destroyed it once and for all."
"Do- do you really think so?" Jeremie asks.
"Well, yeah." Taelia says. "I mean there is a Xana attack right now, so since you think you've materialized Aelita, just turn it off. That should stop the attack, right? So just do that and your problem is solved!"
"You know I never thought about that!' Jeremie says in amazement.
!
"You've got to understand Taelia," Jeremie says. "If you're not Aelita then we have to-" he breaks off as he notices that Taelia has fled. "Well," he says. "Who could have seen that coming?"
!
"Look there, that ball of fire!" Odd says. "You would think that Xana would know to hide Aelita better, that way we wouldn't be able to stop him."
!
"Oh-oohh!" Yumi screams as she backs away from the armor. She continues to back away and her foot kicks a metal bar. Picking it up she barely manages to block the blade aimed for her throat. "As cool as this looks," she grunts. "I can't figure out why I didn't just run out of the door and into the open."
!
Odd, Ulrich and Aelita run past some trees. "I see two Bloks!" Jeremie says. As they pass by the incredibly thin trees the Bloks in question step out from behind them. Odd turns around. "Now how did we miss those?" he wonders.
!
Aelita reaches the tower and stops completely. A Blok comes up behind her and begins to aim. It aims incredibly slowly, finally locking on to her still form. It begins to charge its weapon and Aelita continues to stand still. "Move you dumb bitch!" Odd finally screams at Aelita. "People are dying!"
!
"So do you think we will ever see Taelia again?" Odd asks.
Yumi grins. "I'm sure we will. I mean she just transferred here. It would be stupid to just move again."
