And without further to do, I present to you, Jeremy and Aelita
The End of Xana, The Beginning of Carnage
Chapter 11
:: Jeremy's pov ::
After we all left the sewers, we pretty much all headed off in our own directions. Odd continued off toward the school, while Ulrich and Yumi left towards the school gates, probably heading to a café or something. Slowly, I reached my hand out and took Aelita's hand, both of our faces ignited in an eruption of passion for the other but neither of us let go.
We followed Ulrich and Yumi for a bit out of the school but then we went our separate ways. They continued on to a local café while Aelita and I headed towards the city park. Aelita always said she wanted a stroll through the park, hope she likes a moon lit stroll. Hand in hand, they walk along the path that lead them to a bridge overlooking a small brook. In it small fish swam about peacefully, as well as a couple of ducks. As they made their way to the bridge, they passed by a vender who was selling bread and bait to feed the fish and ducks swimming in the in the pond further ahead. They bought a single bag of feed. When they made it to the middle of the bridge, they tossed some bits of bread to the ducks and fish as they crossed over. Aelita giggled when they both reached into the bag at the same time, Jeremy just blush, happy for the small contact. After bidding the ducks and fish a farewell, the couple continued on for a bit through the trees, a chilled wind blew through the air, causing Aelita to shiver. Jeremy removed his coat he was wearing and draped it across her shoulders. Grateful for the offer, she rewarded him with a small kiss to his cheek, causing his face to glow a nice shade of red.
He's so cute when he blushes, Aelita thought, I really am lucky to have a guy like him. Jeremy still had his blue turtle neck so he wasn't that cold. At least Aelita's warm, I hope she likes the surprise I have for her. As they walked on, they noticed that the trees were beginning to thin, after a few more steps they could see a beautiful lake with fireflies dancing about the surface of the water.
"A-Aelita…" Jeremy stammered. She turned to face him and looked into his eyes man, she has beautiful green eyes, wait c'mon, gotta stay focus.
"Aelita, there's something that I wanted to talk to you, c'mon, since we never made it official, I mean you and I as well… you know." He could see this was going downhill fast.
"You know fireflies attract mates by, uh, pheromones so," he said as reach into the coat pocket that he handed to Aelita, "well, I made this to get these guys to help me with something." And with that he started spaying the can through the air and started writing through the air, he move slowly in a circle as he wrote. After a few seconds he stepped back and hope this idea of his worked.
Aelita hands went up to her face in awe as she gazed at the sight. The fireflies formed the letters through the air that Jeremy had written out:
Aelita
U R the best thing that's happened 2 me
&
I want 2 no if you'll go out with me?
I love you, princess.
"Oh Jeremy" She cried as she threw her arms around his neck and kiss him deeply. This was so sudden for Jeremy that they ended up falling over into the grass. They rolled around kissing each other for a while, when they stopped Aelita was on top with Jeremy pinned beneath her.
"Well, does this mean yes?" Jeremy asked with a smile as he stared up in to her emerald orbs. Aelita just lend down and kiss him, send them into a blissful heaven. When they parted for air, he said
"I'll take that as a yes."
"of course that's a yes you little nerd." She said as she nuzzled his nose. And with that they rolled around a bit more till they were tired and Aelita rolled of him as they tried to catch their breath. Over head, the moon shone almost complete as it slowly move across the night sky.
After a bit lifted herself up on her elbows and looked at Jeremy.
"Thanks Jeremy."
"For what?" he asked, slightly confuse, he wasn't entirely sure what she was getting at.
"For everything, for finding lyoko, fining me," she said with a giggle," Bringing me back to earth, for working so hard to free me from the super computer, from Xana," as she spoke she drew herself closer and closer to the one who had capture her heart before either had realized it themselves, "for helping me fit into this world, for tonight…" their lips a breaths width apart, "so to repay you…" her voice barely above a whisper as they kissed.
:: Later ::
After their time in the park they made their way back to the entrance of the park, seeing as how it was closer to Kadic and they were about to break curfew. On the way Jeremy picked a small sun flower and placed it in Aelita's hair. It contrasted nicely with her pink hair and her emerald green eyes.
"Thank you for the flower, Jeremy."
"Anything for you, princess" he replies with a low bow.
After he straightens himself, he holds out his arm. Glad for the offer, and the chance to be closer, Aelita took his arm. They walked the rest of the way in silence, just enjoying the others company. Along the way back, they spotted a small outdoor café that was still open. Wanting to have a small break from their walk, Aelita pulled Jeremy along by the arm into the building. Inside everything was made to have a comfortable feel to everything. There was a nice three-seat sofa along the wall with violet drapes on the wall. On the other side there were rowan wood tables with curling legs the chairs were oak with intricate designs woven in. After sitting Aelita down, Jeremy left to go get them some drinks.
"Hello," he called out as he ranged the bell, "is any one there?"
"Sure is," Called out a girl. She was about 5'7 with chocolate brown hair and amber eyes, she had about an average figure, but she also had this air about her that just got you caught up in the feeling.
"Hi, I'm Susana, what can I do for you?" she asked, her eyes giggling
"Yeah, can I get two cappuccinos, with foam please?" he asked bringing out a couple a bills.
After accepting the money, she said, "Sure thing handsome, be right back." she add with a wink.
With a slight blush, Jeremy waited for her to return with their drinks. When she returned she handed him the cups and as he left she add a "Go get her, tiger"
When he returned he caught Aelita staring out the window at the full moon. It wasn't very late yet so she could still see the moon without difficulty.
"Did you miss me?" he said as she jumped slightly as she returned to reality
"Hmm, not really" she said as she giggled as he sat down both cups and following shortly after.
"Oh really?"
"Don't worry, I'm just kidding."
"Good, cause I was just thinking maybe I should be going out with the bartender, she seems to think I'm handsome" he said knowingly
"Oh really, well she better watch out."
"Why ?"
"Cause your mind till I say so."
"Alright, I guess I can live with that."
"You not getting away that easily" she says before taking a sip of her drink. Letting her eyes wander, they came to rest upon a karaoke set.
"Hey what do you say to a little singing." She asks with an impish smile
"Why do I get the feeling this is going to involve public humiliation."
"C'mon it's not going to be that bad, besides I want to see what kind of singing voice you've got."
"But I have no singing voice" He protested but she was already pulling him out of his seat.
With her leading him by his arm, they made their way to Susanna.
"Hey can we use the karaoke set?"
"Sure, but first, what's your song?"
"Our song…?" She looks slightly confused.
"Wait, how long have you two known each other?
"Almost three years next Saturday." Jeremy states
"And you two don't have a song yet." She says a little too loudly, earning them looks from a nearby table
"Well," Aelita stammers, "we never exactly had time for a song and…"
"You two are hopeless," Susanna replies shaking her head, "but I guess I can help you two out, but one condition."
"What's the condition?" they say in unison
"That you two have to come back here at least once a week, and have a drink." She says sternly while her eyes dance with delight I wanna see just how far this can go.
The two look at each other as if to ask the others permission.
"And both of you have to come otherwise deals off"
"Alright."
"I guess its okay"
"Alright you two go back to you seats and enjoy the show." she says as she heards them back to their table.
"But what song are we going to sing?"
"And how are going to sing from way over here."
"Don't worry, I got everything planned out."
"What are you going to do?"
"Wait and see." she says mischiefly
After a few minutes, the lights dimmed and Susanna walked over to the karaoke set and turned it on, someone was working the spotlight cause it appeared and centered on her.
"Hello everyone out there, tonight we have a special for you guys. We were suppose to have a couple sing a duet, but due to some technical difficulties, they couldn't perform tonight. So in their place, I'll be singing a song for them. This song is called "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by an artist by the name of Cascada:
I'll be your dreamI'll be your wishI'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hopeI'll be your loveBe everything that you need.
I wanna stand with you on a mountainI wanna bathe with you in the seaI wanna lay like this foreverUntil the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet skyI'll make a wish send it to heavenThat'll make you wanna cry
I wanna stand with you on a mountainI wanna bathe with you in the seaI wanna lay like this foreverUntil the sky falls down on me
Oh, can't you see it baby?Don't have to close your eyes'cause it's standing right before youAll that you need will surely come
I'll be your dreamI'll be your wishI'll be your fantasyI'll be your hopeI'll be your loveBe everything that you needI love you more with every breathTruly, madly, deeply, do..
I wanna stand with you on a mountainI wanna bathe with you in the seaI wanna lay like this foreverUntil the sky falls down on me
I wanna stand with you on a mountainI wanna bathe with you in the seaI want to lay like this foreverUntil the sky falls down on me
(I wanna stand with you on a mountainI wanna bathe with you in the seaI want to lay like this foreverUntil the sky falls down on me)
The entire audience erupted into applause, Jeremy and Aelita the loudest, even adding a few whistles here and there. With a bow to everyone, Susanna left the stage after returning everything to its place, after which she went up to the counter and called out that she was on break for five. With a yell of approval from within the kitchen, she made her way over to the table where our two love birds sat; discussing the show they had just seen. As she arrived she brought with her from the counter a small tray o whiners' on a platter. After she sat them down she pulled up a chair and had a seat.
After ten minutes and a couple more jokes and drinks, they began to leave; Susanna had already left to return to her post as cashier. Before they left out the door Jeremy said "hold on a sec" before going back up to the counter. As he arrived, Susana was waving away a new costumer.
"Well now if it isn't my fav. lil man, how it going. Nice song by the way." She says with a wink.
"Thanks, I just wanted to say thanks for everything tonight." He replied sincerely. "Hey, I know I'm not the best person to be saying this, but if you need anything computer related give me a call," he says a s he write his name and number down on a piece of paper, "As a matter of fact, here's both of our numbers, and thanks for the great night.
After the wonderful time at the café, they made their way back to the grounds of Kadic academy. They walked in silence for the rest of the way till they reached the dorms; too remain undetected, but also because they were both wrapped in their own pleasant thoughts.
"Well princess, this is as far as I go, hope you enjoyed tonight." Jeremy said with his hand in his pockets and a small rose tint coming to his checks.
"oh Jeremy I had glorious time, thank you Jeremy," she leans in and gives him a kiss on the check, thus add more color to his rosy cheeks, "for everything, and seeing as how I never really answeredyou question…" she left the last part hanging as she reach out with both hands, took hold of his face and pulled her new boyfriend in to a nice long kiss.
"That was…awesome." Said Jeremy breathless.
"And there's more where that came from handsome." She said with a wink as she turned and began walking up down the hall stopping at her door and waved at Jeremy before disappearing into her room and closing the door behind her.
Jeremy watched her off till she went in to her room. Whoa, that was…wow he thought to himself. For the rest of the trip to his dorm, he traveled in a slight daze. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his key, and after a few tries, unlocks his door. He takes off his coat and prepares himself for bed. As he climbs into his bed, his thoughts return to the events of that night. This is gonna be the start of sumtinnnnnnnhe thought as he drifted off to sleep.
