Life's New Beginning

Ulrich and Yumi smiled at one another when Odd finally let go of Zell after giving her a tight hug, the female giggled when she saw that her glasses were slightly fogged. Odd raised an eyebrow, he knew that Zell was wearing glasses during their time on the replica.

" You weren't wearing those glasses on the replica Zell." Odd pointed out

" I don't need them to see, just to read and watch TV." Zell replied

Aelita turned when she saw a brown haired male stand up slowly, the male was shorter than Ulrich by a few inches, he wore a blue shirt with dark blue jeans and white sneakers.

" Jason?" Aelita asked

" I can't believe I'm finally back to normal." the male said

Odd helped Zell onto her feet as Ulrich helped Yumi up, Jeremie smiled as he helped Aelita up slowly. The pink haired female looked around the room, she then spotted Franz helping Antea up, she ran up to her family and hugged them tightly.

" I can't believe we're finally back after all this time." Franz stated

" And we have our daughter back too." Antea added

Jeremie smiled to himself as he walked over to the supercomputer and pulled down the lever, Aelita let go of her parents when she heard this.

" How do you feel Aelita?" Jeremie asked

Aelita stood mesmerized, she didn't feel light headed or anything she was finally free from XANA, she ran over to Jeremie and hugged the male tightly, the blond male returned the hug and added a kiss on her cheek.

" I wonder how long we've been gone." Odd stated

Jeremie found his laptop bag on the floor, he opened it pulling out his laptop, his eyes widened when he looked at the screen.

" According to this we have only been gone a day." Jeremie stated

" Good, I can just tell my parents I spent the night with Aelita." Yumi said

The group turned suddenly when a sound greeted the drafty factory, it sounded like a jingle of a small bell. A small calico cat wearing a purple collar ran into the room, the cat jumped into Zell's arms.

" Kalie, my baby little kitty, I've missed you so much." Zell stated

The cat purred loudly as Zell hugged her and petted her soft fur, Aelita smiled as she turned to her parents.

" Where will you two stay?" Aelita asked

" We can fix up the old house, with your mother's help it'll be good as new in no time." Franz replied

" That's great news, Aelita will be able to visit on weekends and stay with you for the holidays." Ulrich stated

The group exited the factory more than glad to be finally home at last, Jason took a deep breath as they stepped outside the male stretched. He was really glad to be back home after being trapped on the replica for so long.

" Though I didn't mind being a dragon, it's good to be back home." Jason stated

" I do admit it was kind of cool being a lion for a while." Odd said

" I'd like to stay but I have to go home before my parents call the police." Yumi stated

" I'll walk with you." Ulrich said

The two walked off holding hands as Franz and Antea headed off to start their work on the old house. Odd and Zell hugged before Zell headed home with Kalie, Jeremie and Aelita went to the school to rest from their long and tiring adventure.

Two days later...

Odd and Zell sat on the bench snuggling with one another as the blue sky above them held a few clouds that moved slowly by, Odd smiled to himself as he conversed with the female.

" I'm surprised that you accept me like my friends do." Odd stated

" You're unique Odd, it's better than having a guy that's normal every part of the day." Zell replied

" True, I've never been normal." Odd said

" I wouldn't have you any other way." Zell stated

Odd snuggled Zell lovingly, the female let out a content sigh at this, Odd turned his head in the direction of the old oak tree seeing Yumi and Ulrich relaxing under it.

" Ulrich would you stop it." Yumi said blushing

" Sorry I can't do that, Grandpa said we Sterns are romancers and I live up to that." Ulrich replied

Yumi blushed a even darker shade of red as she cuddled closer to Ulrich, the male smiled as he looked to the sky, he found himself so much happier and he was glad for it.

" I wonder what Einstein is up to." Yumi stated

" Not sure, the last I knew he and Aelita were at the park." Ulrich replied

" Knowing Jeremie he's romancing Aelita yet again." Yumi said

In the park...

Jeremie smiled as he sat by Aelita, the two were seated on a park bench, Aelita was blushing a deep red as she held a small box in her hands.

" Jeremie, I don't deserve something like this." Aelita stated

" Of course you do, besides my mother told me to give it to someone special and you're it." Jeremie replied

Jeremie smiled as he put the necklace around Aelita's neck, the pink haired female smiled as she cuddled close to Jeremie, the male couldn't help but smile back.

" You have made me so happy Aelita." Jeremie stated

" If it wasn't for you Jeremie, I wouldn't be here, so I should be saying that." Aelita replied

" I just somehow knew that you were a real person." Jeremie said modestly

" Don't be so modest Jeremie, you know that you did a great thing for me, you gave me my life back." Aelita said

Jeremie smiled as Aelita snuggled herself even closer to him, the female looked down at her necklace as the heart-shaped charm sparkled in the sunlight. Jeremie looked to the sky, he couldn't help but let his smile widen as he looked back to Aelita.

" Our lives will be great from now on." Jeremie stated

" My life has been great since I met you, it just keeps getting better everyday." Aelita replied

Jeremie smiled as Aelita put her head on his shoulder, the female contently sighed as a cloud made its way across the blue sky quickly, things would get much better for the Lyoko Warriors.
