Aelita walked down the hall smiling. Her day had been going great so far. She had gotten an A+ on a test that she was sure she had failed, and in gym class, Jim had complemented her for being the fastest when they ran laps around the track.
Aelita walked out of the school and towards the bench in the school yard. She smiled at Yumi, Candy, Vanessa, and Ulrich and sat down next to Odd.
The group chuckled as Jeremie approached them. At least ten pretty girls surrounded him, each of them making goo goo eyes at the blond genius. Jeremie waved good bye to the girls before sitting down on the bench.
"Good news." Jeremie said happily. "I've been working on a new program that might help us defeat Xana once and for all."
Candy smiled and pressed her fist into her palm. "Xana's going down."
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered in union.
Odd looked into Aelita's eyes. They smiled at each other before leaning in and kissing. Everyone awed over the happy couple.
Suddenly, Yumi broke in. "Hey Aelita. Do you want to go to the Pretty in Pink Convention this weekend?"
Aelita smiled. "I'd love to…" Aelita quickly frowned, skeptical. "Wait a minute… I've tried to get you to go to that convention for years now, but you've never agreed once." Aelita crossed her arms.
"What are you talking about?" Yumi asked, all indecent like. "I love pink!"
Aelita suddenly realized that Yumi was wearing a fluffy pink dress and bow. Yumi smiled at Aelita.
Aelita kept her arms crossed. "Come to think about it, this whole day has been perfect. Too perfect."
She looked around at her friends, suddenly feeling uneasy.
"You're supposed to be gothic and hate pink." Aelita said pointing at Yumi.
"You're not supposed to know about Xana." She said pointing at Candy.
"You're not supposed to show signs of affection to me in public." She said pointing at Odd.
"And you're supposed to be sad and lonely." She said pointing at Jeremie.
Suddenly, a pink haired women busted through the gates, running towards Aelita.
"Aelita! Aelita!" The women called.
"Mom?" Aelita whispered. "I've always dreamed you'd come back."
Aelita's eyes grew wide. "That's it! I'm dreaming!"
Everything flashed white and Aelita felt herself being yanked out of her perfect reality.
She yelped and sat up, expecting to be in her bed. She was surprised to find herself on Lyoko. Aelita realized that a wire was attached to her forehead, and she yanked it off. Her eyes trailed down the wire, until they found what the wire was running from. A giant monster that she had never seen before, with the eye of Xana plastered on it. Aelita gasped and stood up, running from the creature. She finally noticed her friends scattered around her, all knocked out cold. They also had wires running from their foreheads to the monster.
Aelita ran to Odd, and tried to grab him. She was blocked by some sort of force field.
Aelita ran towards a transfer tower.
"Jeremie? Jeremie!" She screamed as she entered the tower. No reply. Aelita quickly set up her program to send herself back to earth.
…
Aelita rode up the elevator to the computer room. She gasped. Jeremie and nurse Yulonda was lying on the floor.
Aelita ran over to Jeremie and shook him awake.
"Ae, Aelita?" Jeremie asked. "How did you get back?"
Aelita shook her head. "Jeremie, what happened? I don't remember anything that happened before I woke up on Lyoko just now. There was this weird monster that was stealing something from me, and it's doing the same to the others right now!" She screamed.
Jeremie looked at her funny. "You don't remember anything?"
Aelita shook her head. Jeremie stood up and ran over to the computer, Aelita quickly following him.
"We were attacked by Xana. He took control of nurse Yulonda and started to attach us. You, Ulrich, Yumi, Vanessa and Odd went to Lyoko to try and deactivate the tower, but you couldn't. A new monster appeared. After that I lost contact with you guys. I could still see you on the screen, but you didn't respond to anything I said to you. Then Nurse Yulonda knocked me out cold."
Jeremie fittled with the computer once more. "That's weird. The tower isn't activated anymore."
Aelita nudged nurse Yulonda. "It doesn't look like Xana is controlling Yulonda anymore."
Jeremie scratched his head. "Maybe Xana just wanted to trap you guys on Lyoko. What did you say the monster was doing?"
"I'm pretty sure that it knocked us all out and put us to sleep. I was dreaming, and I kind of realized that I was and woke up."
Jeremie nodded his head, he was back at his computer. "I think I figured it out. Xana made you guys dream so that he could distract you for a while to drain something from all of you. The question is, what did he want?"
Aelita shook her head. "What should we do?"
Jeremie looked at her. "We need to wake them up."
"How? When I tried to grab Odd, a force field blocked me."
"How did you manage to escape?" Jeremie asked.
"Like I said. After I woke up I pulled the wire that was connected to my head off, and then just ran away."
Jeremie nodded. "The wire must be keeping them protected by the force field. You woke up because you realized it was a dream, so that's how we'll wake up the others."
Aelita bit her lip. "So we just wait until they realize they're dreaming? Jeremie, that could take forever!"
Jeremie smiled and rolled his eyes. "Aelita, genius sitting in front of you."
Aelita smiled and placed her hands on her hips. "What's your plan?"
Jeremie started typing on his computer. "I think I can send you directly into their dreams. Once inside, you can wake them up."
"How?" Aelita asked.
"I'm assuming that you will probably be in their dreams already. Seeing two Aelita's would probably scare them into waking up. If not, try convincing them that they're dreaming. And if that doesn't work, do something out of character that would surprise them enough to make them wake up."
Aelita nodded. "Ok."
…
"Scanner Aelita."
"Transfer Aelita."
"Virtualization."
…
Aelita landed in a packed parking lot. She glanced down at herself. She was wearing what she usually wore on earth.
"Jeremie?" She asked. No response. Aelita grew worried, unsure if she would be able to do the job without Jeremie's guidance.
"Yeah I'm here." Jeremie's voice rang in her ear. She had an earpiece on that allowed Jeremie to talk to her.
Aelita sighed with relief. "Whose dream am I in?" She asked looking around.
"Odd's." Jeremie replied.
Aelita finally noticed the gigantic stadium that the parking lot led to. A huge picture of Odd was plastered on the Stadium. It read, 'Odd, pop star skateboarder performs today at 4:00.'
Aelita rolled her eyes and glanced at the nearby clock tower. It was 4:00.
"Can you give me a visual Aelita? I can only hear what's going on right now." Jeremie said through the ear piece.
Aelita nodded and gave Jeremie a visual, using the same process she did on Lyoko.
"I'm not really surprised." Jeremie said as he looked at the giant picture of Odd. "Go in and try to wake him up." Jeremie said.
Aelita nodded and walked into the stadium.
…
"And Della Robia finishes it off with a stunning backflip! Let's go to the judges!" The announcer pointed at the judges who were deciding what to give Odd. The three judges held their signs up one at a time.
10.
10.
01.
The last judge glanced at his sign and quickly flipped it right side up.
"That's three tens! And Della Robia just won the National skate boarding competition!" The announcer shrieked. The stadium went crazy with fans cheering and screaming. A chant of 'Odd! Odd!' Erupted throughout the stadium, and Odd smiled, taking it all in.
Odd's friends ran up to him, each of them had dyed their hair purple and were wearing purple as well.
"Odd you were great!" Yumi shrieked. She stood on her tip toes so she could be eye level with him, for he was much taller than her.
"Yeah! I wish I were as buff and strong as you!" Ulrich said.
"You is amazing!" Jeremie cheered.
"Um, I think you mean 'are'." Odd corrected. He was much smarter than Jeremie.
"I'm so proud to be your sister." Vanessa said. She brushed her bangs out of her eyes, revealing her flawless forehead that had no scar.
"And I'm proud to be your girlfriend." Aelita said smiling. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to kiss him.
The real Aelita watched in disgust for a moment. Sure, Odd thought that he was making out with Aelita, but seeing Odd kissing someone other than her pissed off the real Aelita.
Real Aelita walked up to Odd and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Can you give me a minute, I'm kind of…" Odd gasped as he turned and saw a second Aelita. He looked back and forth between the two of them.
"Wha?" He shrieked. Suddenly, everything flashed white, and Aelita felt herself being thrown from Odd's dream.
Aelita grunted as she landed on Lyoko next to Odd's sleeping figure. Being thrown from a dream really hurt. Odd shot up from his slumber and gazed around. His eyes fell on Aelita.
"Wha?" He repeated. He noticed the wire that was attached to his forehead and angrily yanked it off.
Aelita rolled her eyes. "Xana is using that thing," She pointed at the monster. "To put us to sleep so he can steal something from us. The only problem is, we don't know what."
Odd looked at her blankly. "Ok…"
Aelita rolled her eyes again. "And the only way to free you and the others is for someone to go into your dream and get them to wake up."
Odd glanced at the monster. "What about the sandman over there?" Odd said, jabbing his thumb at it.
"The what?" Aelita asked.
Odd shrugged. "It needs a name, right?"
Aelita shook her head. "Anyways, the sandman appears to be immobile, so I don't think we have to worry about it."
"Alright." Odd said, standing up.
"Ok guys." Jeremie said over the intercom. "I'm going to send you Aelita into Yumi's dream, and you Odd into Vanessa's. Try to wake them quickly, because we don't know what Xana is planning."
…
Odd landed in a lawn of soft green grass. He looked up and smiled.
Vanessa's dream took place back in California, Malibu. Their home town. Odd was standing in their front yard, gazing up at their mansion. It was late, and the sky was getting dark. He could hear music coming from the back.
Odd walked around the side of their house and went through the gate that led to their beach. The ocean was roaring, and Odd inhaled the familiar scent of salt water. He smiled, for there was another scent. Barbeque.
Odd's smile grew wider when he realized what Vanessa was dreaming about. Back in California, every Saturday in the summer the Della Robia's would have a party. Relatives, friends, and neighbors would come and they would play Volleyball and have a barbeque. They would play music over the loud speakers and swim and surf. When the sky turned black, Mrs Della Robia would hand out glow sticks and everyone would wear them while they surfed. When it got cold, they would all gather around the fire pit and roast marshmallows and sing songs until one o'clock the next morning.
Odd walked through the sea of people, looking for Vanessa. He finally spotted her sitting on the edge of the sand near the water, with a boy.
Odd jogged towards her, wondering who the boy was. When he got close enough, he recognized the boy and smirked.
"Hey Colin, you mind if I talk to Vanessa for a moment?" Odd asked.
Colin looked up at Odd. "No problem bro." Colin stood and jogged towards what Odd assumed was his surf board.
"What do you want?" Vanessa asked, semi annoyed.
Odd smiled and sat down next to her. "Thanks for dreaming of this. I missed home."
Vanessa looked at him funny. "What are you talking about?"
Odd rubbed the back of his neck. "Your dreaming. Xana is the blame."
Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Yeah, ok Odd." She said sarcastically.
Odd stood up. "Vanessa, think. Why would Colin be at one of our summer party's? It's not even summer. It's fall, remember?"
Vanessa's eyes grew wide. "I guess I am dreaming. Ok, so how do I wake up?"
Odd bit his lip. "Uh, you should of woken up when you realized you were dreaming."
They waited a moment, but nothing happened.
"Shit." Odd muttered.
…
Aelita landed on a concrete side walk. She took in her surroundings, and gasped, completely mortified.
"Aelita, what's wrong? Can you give me a visual?"
Aelita bit her lip. "Umm, Jeremie, I think Yumi would appreciate it if I didn't show you what she's dreaming about."
With that, Aelita disconnected the earpiece, so Jeremie wouldn't be able to hear or see anything going on. She took a deep breath, and entered the sleazy hotel.
Aelita was able to convince the woman at the front desk to give her Yumi and Ulrich's room number. She took the elevator to the top floor, and walked down the hall to the deluxe sweet.
Aelita sighed again, and knocked on the door.
She heard shuffling inside, and Yumi opened the door.
Aelita sighed with relief. Yumi still had shoes on, meaning that she and Ulrich had probably just gotten there.
Yumi glared at Aelita. "What?" She hissed.
Aelita took a deep breath. "You're dreaming right now. Xana put you to sleep so that he could mess with your head. You need to wake up."
Yumi looked at her, skeptical. "Yeah right."
Aelita sighed, knowing that she would have to surprise Yumi by doing something out of character.
With that, Aelita quickly punched the glass container holding a fire extinguisher, and the glass shattered. Aelita grabbed it and started to spray it everywhere.
…
"Odd, are you sure about this?" Vanessa asked as they climbed the rocky cliff.
Odd nodded. "When you die in normal dreams, you wake up."
"But how do you know it will work in an abnormal dream?"
Odd stopped and looked into his sisters eyes. They had reached the top of the cliff, and the waves crashed against the cliff base, hundreds of feet below them. "Trust me."
Vanessa watched her brother for a moment, before nodding. She took a step near the edge of the cliff, and peered over the side. The waves crashed wildly into the spiky rocks that jutted up from the tide. She returned her gaze to her brother.
"Odd, if this doesn't work…"
"…it will work." Odd said.
Vanessa nodded. "Just know that I love you."
Odd nodded. Vanessa took a deep breath and stepped off the edge of the cliff. Odd shut his eyes as his sister disappeared over the side. He waited a moment, terrified that it wouldn't work. Suddenly, everything flashed white and Odd was knocked out of Vanessa's dream.
Odd landed back on Lyoko next to Vanessa. Vanessa sat up, shock in her eyes. She yanked the wire from her forehead and looked at Odd. She quickly hugged him.
About that time, Aelita was knocked out of Yumi's dream. Aelita landed with a thud next to Yumi, who sat up pin straight. She angrily yanked the wire off of her head, and looked at Aelita.
"NEVER speak of it." Yumi threatened. Aelita rolled her eyes.
"What'd she dream about?" Odd asked.
Yumi gave him a death stare.
"Ok, we just need to wake up Ulrich." Aelita said standing up.
Yumi also stood. "I'll do it."
"Ok Yumi, I'm sending you into Ulrich's dream." Jeremie said over the intercom.
…
Yumi landed on a concrete side walk. She stood up, taking in her surroundings. She looked around in surprise, puzzled that she was outside the same hotel she had dreamed about. Yumi walked inside.
…
Vanessa, Odd, and Aelita sat on the ground, watching Ulrich's unmoving body. They had been waiting for twenty minutes, and nothing had changed. Odd glanced at the sandman, hatred in his eyes.
"So, why can't I destroy that thing now?" He asked Jeremie.
"Because it's still controlling Ulrich. If it goes, Ulrich will to. And since Yumi is still in Ulrich's dream, she will also go."
Odd clenched his fists in frustration and stood up. "That thing made me watch my sister basically commit suicide!"
"Just be patient Odd." Vanessa said, grabbing Odd's arm and pulling him back down.
Suddenly, Ulrich started to shift. His friends watched with interest.
Their eyes grew wide as Yumi was thrown back onto Lyoko, grunting as she hit the ground. Ulrich sat up, and yanked the wire from his forehead.
Odd jumped up. "Ulrich's disconnected! Can I kill the monster now?"
Jeremie rolled his eyes. "Sure Odd. Just make sure Aelita gets to a tower."
Odd pumped his fist in the air. "Yes!"
Aelita took cover behind a boulder as Yumi, Ulrich, Odd and Vanessa ran towards the monster. They easily destroyed it, for the monster had no way of fighting back.
…
"That was weird." Vanessa muttered. They were back in the computer room, discussing the day's events.
Aelita nodded. "Jeremie, did you figure out what Xana was trying to accomplish?"
Jeremie shook his head. "I'm not sure, but I think it's best if we are more careful."
The gang nodded. Odd looked at Yumi, a question had been bothering him for a while.
"So Yumi, what took you so long in Ulrich's dream?" He smirked.
Yumi glared at him. "Back off, skinny."
"I'm not skinny I'm svelte!"
Everything that was mentioned vaguely in this chapter only goes as far as your imaginations do.
