I don't own Harry potter or Code Lyoko

The Girl of the Dreams

"Time to launch the program," said Jeremy as he pressed the right keys. The computer reported that it didn't work.

"Aw, I was so sure it would work!" exclaimed Harry.

"I don't believe it! Not again! I'm so useless! I'm never going to do it!"

"We will," said Harry, trying to comfort Jeremy. "We know it's possible."

"I'm sure you will," said Aelita.

"Thanks for the encouragement, but I'm useless, I tell you…" said Jeremy sadly.

"No you're not," said Harry. "You're not useless at all."

"Jeremy, do you think we'd get along well in the real world? I mean as well as we do now?" asked Aelita.

"Yeah, of course, why?"

"Well because I'm not so sure…I'd like to have a best friend who is useless but clever…you know?"

"Ha ha, very funny!" said Jeremy, comforted.

"Thanks for cheering him up Aelita!"

"Hey! You two! You're going to be late to school!" said Odd as he opened the door.

"Is it that late already?" asked Jeremy. "I'm going to try one more thing."

"Don't blame me for being late." Odd shut the door.

Harry stood. "Well, I'm going to get to class now. See you later."

Lyoko

Aelita screamed as something approached.

Yumi and Ulrich

"This whatever-it-is of yours weighs at least a tonne…" complained Ulrich.

"It's not a 'whatever,' it's been in my family for hundreds of years!" said Yumi. "Remember, you did offer to help me."

Milly and Tamiya were following them.

"So when are you going to unveil your thingamabob?" asked Ulrich.

"Right at the end of my report. It's going to be a smash hit. Hopefully worth an A."

"Well you sure wouldn't find a thing like that at my house! First of all, your whatchamacallit doesn't go with the drapes in the living room!" said Ulrich.

"Whatchamacallit? Whatever? What I like most about you Ulrich is your rich vocabulary!" retorted Yumi as they exited the room. Milly and Tamiya appeared from their hiding place.

"Don't look mad Tamiya but I sense a scoop."

"So do I."

They quickly set up the camera.

"Fellow middle school students, hello, this is Milly and Tamiya of the 7th grade reporting the school news. You may not know it, but something strange is hatching! And this, my friends, is a part of it. In our constant quest to report the latest news, we are bringing you this exposé of what's hidden under this drape! Tamiya! Is there any reason for your filming your feet?" asked Milly.

"Sorry, it scares me."

The bell rang.

"Time for class already?"

They quickly ran out of the room. The socket sparked and smoke covered Yumi's item.

Class

Jeremy yawned.

"You know, Jeremy, most people use the night hours to sleep," said Ulrich.

"I was trying out this new program for materialising Aelita."

"Jeremy, you still need to sleep," said Harry as he clutched his head.

"You alright?" asked Ulrich.

"I think Xana might be attacking."

"And what are you going to say to her when you do succeed?" asked Odd, not paying attention to Harry. "You never knew how to talk to a girl!"

"With Aelita it's not the same'" exclaimed Jeremy.

"You're right, it's not the same."

"Alright everyone. Before the start of class, I'd like to introduce a new student," said Delmas. "Alright Taelia, you can come in now."

"Ok, here's your chance! Imagine she's right here in front of you in flesh and blood, what are you going to say?" asked Odd.

"Ohh, wow! Ohhh!" said Jeremy as he saw the new girl.

"Beep! Sorry, your time is up! You could do with a few pointers with flirting!" exclaimed Odd as he saw Taelia. "Oh wow, this is…I don't believe it!"

"Ok, Xana's definitely attacking," said Harry as he felt the familiar itch that told him Xana had something to do with the girl. 'Was the girl even real?' he thought.

Later

"Well, it does look like her," said Yumi. "But if it's her, she should recognise us."

"It's probably a case of identical strangers," said Harry.

"If it is her, she might have amnesia from the materialisation."

"Well talk to her, it's the only way to find out!" said Odd.

"But what if it's not her?" asked Jeremy fearfully.

"It's not," piped up Harry who was on his laptop. "It's Xana. I guess he might be doing the same thing he did to Yumi."

"Hm?" Odd asked Ulrich, ignoring Harry.

"Hmm!"

"Go on! Ok, watch an expert at work, and learn!" said Odd as he dragged Jeremy over to Taelia.

"Hey! Wait!"

Harry followed them.

"Hi there Ae- uh, I mean, Taelia! My friends and I were, uh, we thought you looked familiar, like we'd seen you before…" said Odd.

"Come on, that's the oldest pickup line around…" said Taelia. "Not to mention annoying."

"Huh? Hey, who said I wanted to pick you up? I was just making conversation! …uh, by the way, do things like the virtual world, or Krabes, or buzzing monsters mean anything to you?" asked Odd.

"Uh, well yeah! It means that I'd better be moving along… Or that you're insane."

"Where are you from?" asked Jeremy. "Do you have a family?"

"I'm not in the mood to talk."

"Sorry about my friends," Harry said as she walked away. "They thought you were someone else, a friend of ours. You look just like her."

She paused.

"As for what they were saying," he continued. "That was from a game we like to play."

"Well?" asked Yumi when they returned.

"It's not her," said Odd.

"He's only saying that because he just got the brush-off big time! "Watch an expert and learn" huh?" asked Ulrich.

"I could have told you that it wasn't her," said Harry as he walked up to them. "My Xana senses have been tingling whenever I see her. She has something to do with him."

"Spiderman? Seriously?" asked Yumi.

"What? It gets the point across."

"I'm going to check Lyoko," said Jeremy. "If she isn't there, then she will be here."

"You can check it out later. Right now we have a date with Ms Meyer…" said Ulrich.

"Wish me luck for my report, everybody!" said Yumi.

Everyone walked past.

'Thanks for caring, guys…' Yumi thought.

"Good luck Yumi!" called Harry.

Class

"I have to check Lyoko," said Jeremy as the teacher explained an equation. "I can't wait any longer!"

"We'll go together."

"Uhh, Ms Meyer! I'm sorry but…I need to go to the infirmary…I don't feel too well, I feel really sick!" said Jeremy.

"Oh, yes of course, Jeremy! Go ahead!" said Me Meyer.

"Uh, I'll take him there! I mean uh, you never know, huh?" asked Odd.

"I'll help," said Harry as they got up.

Harry and Jeremy's Dorm

"We're just about connected," said Jeremy.

"That's something."

"Jim's going to catch us if you don't hurry up," said Odd.

"Aelita? Aelita?" asked Jeremy as he sat down. "She's not answering!"

"The link could be down," said Harry. "Where was she last? The mountains?"

"Uh, yes. Why?"

"I'm going to check."

Harry walked out of the room.

"What if the last calculations I tried were the last ones?" asked Jeremy to no one.

"You know, you could really use a good night's sleep!" exclaimed Odd. He was right.

"Odd it's her. I don't care what Harry thinks."

"You know, Harry does have a point. Remember what Xana did with Yumi a couple of attacks back?"

"Harry can be wrong."

"Have you gone mad or what, Einstein? What if Aelita is still on Lyoko?" asked Odd.

Yumi

Yumi had a selection of different Japanese type items out.

"Of course it's just a glimpse of Japanese culture. It explain it all would take hours. To end my report. I'd like to show you something."

She opened the cupboard.

"It's a living symbol of Japan, and it's a…ah! Oh! A drape?! Where has it gone?!"

She saw the blackened sockets.

"Xana…"

Corridor

The amour was walking towards a door.

"Hey you! What are you doing here?" asked Jim. "What kind of costume is that?"

It turned.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The armour drew its sword and charged.

"But your head."

Later

"Is there something wrong Yumi?" asked Ulrich.

"My samurai armour has gone missing! Where's Harry?"

"Maybe one of the kids took it."

"We might not be able to count on Aelita if Xana's attacking. Good thing we have Harry."

"Harry's on Lyoko," said Jeremy.

"We can't reach Aelita," said Odd.

"We can't reach her because Aelita is Taelia so she's on Earth!"

They looked at Taelia.

"Sorry but I can't believe that's Aelita," said Yumi.

"I know someone who's dying for her to be Aelita," said Ulrich.

"Children, please give me your attention. Several of your fellow students, as well as our own Jim, whom you all know and whom you respect, I know…" said Delmas.

"Let's not go overboard!" exclaimed Odd.

"Have been attacked by a person wearing samurai armour. The individual is still at large. If you have any information, please tell me or the police," continued Delmas.

"We can't wait," said Yumi. "We need to get to Lyoko, find Aelita and deactivate the tower."

"You won't find Aelita on Lyoko because Aelita is Taelia! That means Xana is after her""

"Wow, he's really flipped his lid, huh?" asked Odd.

"Miss Ishiyama. I have been told that the armour is yours," said an officer. "I would like you to come with me please."

Lyoko

Harry landed on a random mountain in the mountain sector.

"Now where?" he asked then concentrated. He had noticed that he can… sense people if he concentrated hard enough. "Come on, I can do this." He felt Aelita on the other side of the sector. He started to run.

Jeremy

Jeremy was running around the school, looking for Taelia. He found her in her dorm.

"Aelita, Xana's attacking! You have to hide! He's managed to take over a suit of armour!"

"Wow, your friend was right. You must really think I'm this Aelita person."

"He's after you, you have no choice, and you absolutely have to hide!" exclaimed Jeremy.

"As a pickup line that one's a lot more original than the one your friend tried!" said Taelia.

"I think you have amnesia."

"I don't believe you."

The door opened and the amour stood behind it. It walked in and attacked. Jeremy pulled Talia out of the way.

"Come on, follow me!"

They ran off, still being chased by the samurai armour.

Yumi

"... It's not true," said Yumi.

"Anyway, this samurai armour does belong to you."

"Yes but my parents."

"You have no idea who might have stolen it?"

"We have to go to the factory," said Odd. "We need to contact Jeremy."

Ulrich pulled out his phone. "His voicemail is on."

Factory

"Wow. This place is weird," said Taelia.

"Follow me."

Jeremy led her to the lift and entered the code.

The doors opened on the lab.

"Come on."

She entered.

"That is Lyoko. The virtual world you come from. Doesn't that ring a bell?"

"And this Xana attacks from here?" she asked.

"Yes. He attacks by activating towers."

"If he's so dangerous, why don't you just destroy the place?"

"Because you were part of this world."

"You're total crazy. This whole story is crazy."

"I've been telling him that since he saw you. Well, that you're not our friend anyway," said Harry.

"Hey Harry. How's it going?"

"Hey Jeremy! Is that Taelia? And it's totally fine over here. No monster attacks yet, which is strange."

"Yes, Taelia is here."

"You know that she really isn't Aelita?"

"You know what I think. I think you should destroy it once and for all."

"Jeremy stop," said Ulrich.

"If we do that, we lose Harry. And what if Aelita is still on Lyoko?" asked Odd.

"But she's not!"

"I know Taelia looks like Aelita but she isn't! Please come down to Earth. And what if you were mistaken? Harry's still over there and I won't let you hurt my brother!"

"You want to take the risk of destroying both Harry and Aelita by destroying Xana?" asked Odd.

"We've got to make sure. You've got to lets us go!"

"And if Aelita's not there, who's going to deactivate the tower?"

"Harry of course! You've got to let us take the risk."

"Alright then. Get to the scanners."

They left.

"The last time I saw Aelita, she was in the mountains. Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Odd. Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Odd. Virtualisation."

The two boys appeared on Lyoko.

"Can you see anything?" asked Jeremy.

"Yes, Jeremy, mountains. Lots of them…" said Ulrich.

"I'll launch the scan. You have to understand Taelia… Taelia?"

She had run off.

Lyoko

"Boy oh boy, finding someone around here is going to be harder than finding an idea in Jim's head," said Odd. "And he doesn't have any."

"If I know Harry, he'll find you."

Odd's future flash ability kicked in. In it, he saw two Aelita's and a guardian.

"I just saw Aelita… And Aelita?"

Kadic

Taelia walked into the administration building and passed by Yumi who glared at her.

"Oh hi Yumi. You ok?"

"Yes, they finished questioning me. But I just saw Taelia who looked like she was in a hurry to see the Principal."

"Oh great. It can't be! She's going to tell them about Lyoko! I took her to the factory!"

"What! She's going to tell the cops everything! I'll be right there!"

Factory

"Odd, Ulrich and Harry! The scans picked up the activated tower. Its art thirty degrees north in the forest sector!"

"Without Aelita or Harry, that's useless information, Jeremy," said Ulrich.

Lyoko

"Huh? There it is!" exclaimed Odd as he saw the guardian. "And Harry's there too!"

Harry was looking inside the ball. Odd jumped off the cliff to the platform below.

"Jeremy, we found them! There's this ball thingy and it's what's blocking communications with Aelita," said Odd.

"The last time Xana used one of these, he trapped Yumi in it," said Harry. "Aelita got her out by convincing it that it had the wrong prisoner."

"We can't do that this time," said Ulrich. "So we'll have to attack it."

Ulrich drew his sword and hit it several times and Odd shot at it.

"This thing is invincible!"

"That's some program," Jeremy muttered. "Wait a program." He started to type away. "Gimme a couple of minutes here…"

"Ok, no problem, man, we've got all the time in the world…" said Odd.

Kadic

Yumi walked into the boiler room and the lights flickered. She heard movement. "Is anyone there?" she asked.

The samurai armour walked around the corner.

"Uhhhh."

She picked up an iron bar and used it to attack the amour and to block its sword. She eventually tried to hide in a locker room.

Factory

Jeremy saw Taelia walk into the factory with three adults.

"Already? That means I blew our cover by talking to a perfect stranger. That means the amour wasn't after Taelia, it was after us!"

"Finally worked that out, have you?" asked Harry.

"Just a little more time…"

"What about that idea of yours?" asked Ulrich.

"It's ready."

Lyoko

"Making a clone of Aelita? Well, I'm a bit sceptical Jeremy." Odd said as a clone flickered into view. The guardian didn't react.

"It's not working," said Harry, looking at the guardian.

"Wait, Harry. Can you change into other avatars, like you can with monsters?" asked Odd.

Harry frowned. "I don't know. I haven't tried."

"Try to do Aelita!"

"Why so insistent Odd?" asked Harry.

"I had a vision. In it I saw two Aelitas!"

"I'll try." Harry concentrated and a few seconds later, he changed.

"Wow, that's freaky," said Ulrich as he stared at Harry.

This time the guardian did react, convulsing and blew up in confusion. Aelita collapsed onto the floor.

"Get Aelita to a tower, she needs to regenerate herself."

Harry turned back into his normal form and picked her up.

"Which way Jeremy?" he asked. A few moments later and a few directions later, they were in a tower and Aelita's life points started to go up.

"Everything's ok. She's getting her life points back," said Jeremy.

"Thank you Captain Obvious."

"What happened to the guardian?" asked Aelita.

"That big fat fire thing?" asked Odd. "Harry blew it up by changing into you."

They walked to the edge of the tower and jumped off, arriving in the forest sector.

Kadic

Yumi peered around the corner of a locker block and ducked, narrowly avoiding the blade. She continued to fight the armour.

Lyoko

They walked out of the tower.

"Jeremy, we're here," said Ulrich.

"You'd better hurry. I can't reach Yumi. I'm afraid she's having problems."

"Any other news?" asked Odd.

"Yes. Taelia saw the cases code. She's bought the principal and the police!"

"There's no time to lose," said Ulrich. "Harry, can you deactivate the tower. You're the fastest out of all of us."

"Are you sure," asked Harry. "I don't want to leave you… What the!"

Two blocks had appeared.

"My favourite monsters! You always pick the wrong times though," Odd said to a Blok.

"Go Harry!"

Harry turned and ran, turning into a blur.

"Laser Arrow!"

Factory

The blast door opened and the four walked in.

"There," said Taelia, pointing at the computer. "It was this computer. There's this Xana thing that lives inside it and this Harry who lives there. I don't know how but they seem to want to destroy the planet."

"Hey! I have you know that I don't live here!" shouted Harry. "I'm as human as you are! And I'm not trying to destroy the planet! I'm trying to save it!"

"Is that Harry Stern?" asked Delmas. "Jeremy, I believe you owe us an explanation! Come on now."

"I'm sorry sir but my friends are in danger and I can't leave."

The cops approached.

"No, don't!"

Taelia had her arms crossed.

"You can't do this! Let go!"

Lyoko

Harry ran into the tower, rose to the next level and quickly placed his palm on the platform.

Harry

Code

Lyoko

The files zoomed down the tower and he devirtualised himself. He wasn't needed there anymore.

Ulrich

"Odd, you take care of Aelita," ordered Ulrich. "I'll take on the Bloks, alone. Well, almost alone. Triangulate!"

Ulrich ran around a Blok and hit it in the weak spot. "One down." He got frozen by the other Blok and devirtualised. Odd quickly dispatched the remaining Blok.

Kadic

Yumi raised the iron bar to block another strike before it froze.

"Phew."

Factory

The cops were dragging Jeremy away. A few seconds later, two arrows heads appeared from nowhere with the shoot, "Laser arrows!"

"Harry," Jeremy cried in relief as the boy appeared.

"Where did you come from?" asked Delmas. "What was that?"

"Jeremy, I suggest you activate the return to the past," said Harry, ignoring Delmas. Jeremy walked over to the computer.

"The what?"

"We're going back in time sir. This isn't the first time you've been here."

"Return to the past now!"

The white light engulfed the whole of existence.

Earlier

"Alright Taelia, you can come in now," said Delmas.

"I heard Sissi say that's she's an orphan. That's why she didn't want to talk about her family," said Ulrich.

"Well anyway…if you look closely, you can see their eyes aren't the same! The nose is different, and so is the hair…they're not actually similar at all! How could you have possibly thought that she was Aelita?" asked Jeremy.

"Did you just say that we thought…?" asked Ulrich, confused.

"He sure did!" said Odd.

"You'd have to be blind to think that!" Jeremy exclaimed.

"I've been telling you that all along," said Harry. "I think Jeremy's in denial."

Yumi

"To end my report. I'd like to show you something."

She opened the cupboard.

"It's a living symbol of Japan and it's been in my family for centuries. Here." She stood back to allow the other students to see the chained up amour. The students chattered excitedly.
