The other new Lyoko Warriors were hanging out at the pool. All of the Warriors, except Sam, enjoyed swimming. Sam used to like it until he realized that he was trans and stopped feeling comfortable in a bathing suit. They can sometimes convince him to go swimming with them. They heard Damian's phone ring from the benches. Whenever the group was split up they and someone was at the pool they always made sure that someone's phone was on ring on the bench, hidden under towels, just in case there's a XANA attack. They rushed over to find that it was a text to the group from Sam. He dried off his hands and opened the text and read it out loud to the group.
"So we can make your vehicles for Lyoko, they can be anything that you want just have Diana draw it and Rebbeca be able to describe it so we know exactly what we're coding."
Everyone got excited at the idea of descending their very own vehicles.
"Let's all dry off and meet in me and Rebecca's room, "Diana, told everyone.
Soon the four of them were gathered in the girls' room, sitting on the bed Diana was at the desk, armed with a sketchbook and a pencil. "Anyone know what they want?" she asked, "I know that I want mine to be on a cloud, I don't think I need to draw that out" she chuckled.
"You took my idea... " Rebecca pouted, "or at least my serious idea. My non-serious idea doesn't fit with my Lyoko ninja look, I think it would be really cool to ride on a flying book that has reigns made out of words! I'll come up with another idea, Got one!" she exclaimed, having already come up with a new idea.
"Since when do you care about things matching," Ruby laughed. Never before had she particularly cared if two things went well together. The wall on her side of the room was a hodgepodge of everything from cartoon frames, to magna pages, to posters, to copies of the covers of her favorite books, she had fairy lights, but they got taken away due to being a possible fire hazard.
"Well that's the real world there are too many things that you can't control or understand, but Lyoko is like a fictional world where I have more control, so I want to do it right!" Rebecca justified, while looking at her phone, therefore not seeing the looks of confusion plastered on some of her friends' faces, mainly Ruby's. Diana who out of everyone in there spent the most time with her, due to them being roommates learned to accept that sometimes she just won't understand how her mind works, Damian didn't understand but didn't want to draw attention to it.
"I want something like this," she showed everyone the picture she pulled up on her phone, ( s/files/1/1504/8570/products/28S-CAW-303_ ?v=1479483353) "but without the pull handles, and the slide raling things lowered a lot."
"I think that that's descriptive enough that you don't have to
draw it," Damian spoke, and everyone agreed.
"I need my to have complete control over my vehicle so I can close to the enemy," Ruby explained, although her power extended her weapon's reach she often opted to not use it and get very close to the monsters, to destroy them. "Maybe rollerblades!" she suggested, "yeah, I think I want rollerblades."
"Those take to long to put on and take off," Damian pointed out "Maybe they can be roller blades but just the platforms! That stick to your feet!" Rebecca exclaimed, "maybe they can bounce too so you can reach the hornets!" Rebbeca was getting very excited and they weren't even talking about her vehicle, "Or they can fly!"
"Think those eggheads can make that happen?" the jock asked, looking forward to riding those.
"I don't see why they wouldn't be able to, Sam, explained that if you know the rules and the sya-synt-" the coder's girlfriend struggled to remember the proper term, before giving up, and using a term that everyone would know, "the right code words they just need to be able to break it down enough for the computer to understand," she explained, "plus they can always veto or change our designs!" she added.
"Awesome! I want that! I want flying roller skates!"
"Give me a sec to draw this it's simple so it won't take long," after a few seconds she showed us sketches of two possible ideas.
"What do you want Damian, or should I say, princess!" Diana teased her brother, a large knowing smirk on her face.
He looked at his feet and mumbled something, that even Rebecca couldn't make out.
"You could have taken out your phone and found a picture without having to tell them," she smirked.
"Yea-yeah I'll get up a picture," he picked up and started googling.
"Too late!" his sister sang, "you need to learn to speak up more I'm doing this to help you," the smirk on her face showed that helping him was not her only or possibly even her primary incentive. She loved to tease her brother.
"YuGiOh! The Japanese version!" Ruby laughed, "I didn't realize you were into that nerd stuff, no offense Rebecca," she just shrugged it off, used to such comments, while the boy looked down in shame" She stopped laughing once she noticed that he was actually getting a bit upset about it. "Hey, but I'm sure it looks cool at least!" she tried to lift his spirits, he showed them the picture he found on his phone. ( wiki/Blackbird?file= )
"those flaps on the side unfold into wings," he explained pulling up a different picture( wiki/Blackbird?file= )
"YuGiOh! The Japanese version!" Ruby laughed, "I didn't realize you were into that nerd stuff, no offense Rebecca," she just shrugged it off, used to such comments, while the boy looked down in shame" She stopped laughing once she noticed that he was actually getting a bit upset about it. "Hey, but I'm sure it looks cool at least!" she tried to lift his spirits, he showed them the picture he found on his phone. ( maxiuchiha22/art/Bloody-Kiss-render-Duel-Links-846895121) "there's nothing to be ashamed about for like that bike it looks awesome!" Ruby was trying to make up for her previous comments.
Around that time Rebecca's dinner alarm went off, so they headed to the cafeteria, she called her boyfriend on the way, to tell him and Natasha to come back for dinner. They did not wait for them because they knew that they would have to walk through town to get back to the academy. She only has a dinner alarm because she, like Sam, has a nasty habit of losing track of time.
