The scanner doors slid open. Smoke swirled out in spirals. A young teen boy stepped out. "perfect," he said with a slight bit of revenge in his voice.

"With the one that knows most about me and Lyoko out of the way, no one will stop me, for their friends will fall soon after. He raked his fingers through his spiky black hair. "And now that I'm disguised as a normal boy, I will enroll into Kadic. Once we meet, she won't be able to resist," Xana said hatefully.

He walked out of the factory and toward the middle school.

At Yumi's house

"Yumi! We need to talk," Her 'father' said.

"Yeah, what's up?" she said lowering herself into a chair.

"You see, Yumi... we really aren't your parents. Your parents died when you were 6 months old. We are your aunt and uncle, and your closest related family. we took you in and decided to never let you know about what truly happened. We were never going to tell you, but the thing is is that we need to go to Japan, and we think you should stay here, at Kadic with your friends," Yumi's aunt said.

"Wait, hold on a second. You're not my parents! I mean, and you never told me?" she said outraged.

"Yumi, we were just as surprised as you are now when we found out your parents were dead. But Yumi, you can forget all about this now. You're going to live at Kadic. In fact, we better get you there now!" her uncle said.

"Yumi, this doesn't mean we loved you any less. For a while, you seemed so much like our daughter, that I forgot you weren't!" her aunt said.

Yumi walked out to the car, amazed.

At Kadic

"Ah, Miss Ishyama, so glad you've decided to join our boarding school program. Your friends will be very happy. Now, I will show to your room and you can get acquainted with your new roommate." Yumi followed the principle until; he got to room number 609. he quietly rapped on the door. Yumi's mouth dropped as she saw the face staring back at her.

"Yumi?!" the pink-haired girl squealed.

"Aelita?!" Yumi dropped her things and gave Aelita a hug.

"Just a reminder ladies, dinner's in 10 minutes!" the principal said as he walked away.

"Yumi, what are you doing here?" Aelita asked confused. Yumi told her the whole story.

"Well, I'm sorry about your parents but wait til the boys find out! Come on!"

In cafeteria

Jeremy, Ulrich and Odd sat at their usual table, waiting for Aelita.

"Where could she be?" Jeremy asked, worried.

"If she doesn't show up, I'll eat her food," Odd said.

"Sorry I'm late. I met my new roommate," a very flustered looking Aelita said running in.

"Oh, that's okay. Say, Aelita, have you met my friend the bottomless pit named—wait, you have a new roommate? Who is she?" A dark shadow covered the table.

"Hey guys! Miss me?" she said.
