For a point there, I thought I wouldn't get any reviews, because I haven't for my first story. Here's more.
A week and 6 days after the nominations
Aelita's POV
Well, the Christmas ball is tomorrow, and I couldn't be more excited. Since today's a Friday, we get tomorrow off, and Yumi and I are going to get ready. I'm not sure what I going to wear yet. I'm going with Jeremy, Odd's taking Emily, Yumi's going with Xavier, and Ulrich doesn't have a date. Sissi asked him, but he turned her down flat. Odd and Ulrich say they plan to give Jeremy a new look. I'm excited, but kind of scared too.
Normal POV
Yumi walked in. "Mrs. Hertz let you out early. Lucky. So, anyway, do you know what you're wearing tomorrow?" Yumi said. "No, but I do have something for you," "Great, because so do I!" Yumi said. They both returned with large white boxes. "This is for you," they said in unison. "Merry Christmas!" they said at the same time again. Aelita took her after handing hers to Yumi. She slowly picked up the lid. Pushing back the tissue paper, she gasped. Inside the box was a long white dress. It was sleeveless, and was covered in embroidered flowers. It had a little wrap that matched it. "Yumi...I don't know what to say," Aelita said softly. "Well, now you know what you can wear tomorrow." Yumi then opened hers. It was a dress made of a shimmery light pink material. It had a halter top, and a full skirt that went to the floor. "Aelita, it's beautiful." "So, we have it all: dates, dresses and a nomination for queen. So tomorrow, we'll get ready. Do our hair, nails, stuff like that. As for now, I have a date downtown with Xavier." "Speaking of him, how's it going between you two?" Aelita asked. "Oh, we really get along well. He just seems so, caring. And he really likes me. There's just something special about him. Like when I look into his eyes, I get this strange feeling, like my body is being emptied out, and filled with something else. Then, something happens, where I feel as if...something has happened, but I can't remember until later. Love is full of mysteries!" she said as she walked out the door. "Wait, I don't think feeling as if your being emptied out is good. I'll have to ask Jeremy." She stood, pulled off her jersey shorts, and t-shirt, and she slipped into a pair of faded, flared jeans, a pink shirt and pink flip flops. She then walked to Jeremy's room. She knocked on the door. "Odd, I already told you that you can't borrow my toothbrush to brush Kiwi's teeth. It's your problem your dog has bad breath." Aelita smiled at the thought of it. "Jeremy, it's Aelita, and I don't want to borrow your toothbrush. I need to speak with you." Jeremy then opened the door. "Sorry," he said as a slight blush glowed on his face. "it's alright. I wanted to talk to you. Yumi was just talking to me about Xavier. I was wondering, do you notice anything strange about him?" "Well, actually yes. This morning, I woke up to see him using my computer. I screamed at him, and he left. Another funny thing is that he never sleeps. He's always walking around the room, or reading." Jeremy said with a funny look on his face. "Well, I was just talking to Yumi, and she said that whenever she looks into his eyes, she says that it feels as if her body is being emptied, and then she doesn't remember what happened!" Aelita said jumpy. "That can't be good, but we'll worry about it after Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I think hope you win the queen," Aelita blushed. "uh, well.. thank you Jeremy, I have to go now. Bye!" she said before running off. When she got back to the room, she giggled and jumped for joy. She then turned on the radio, and buried herself in a magazine. She was scared when Yumi walked in. "So, how was it?" Aelita asked. "oh it was great. We went and got ice cream, and then we went to the park. The best part, though was when he held me close, and he looked into my eyes, that feeling passed through me. I..." Yumi just stopped. She stared blankly. "Yumi?" Aelita asked, waving a hand in front of her face. "Aelita? Wait, when did I get back?" she said. "just a few minutes ago. You were telling me about your date. Are you okay?" Yumi looked around with one eyebrow raised. "I was? Oh... I didn't remember." "Yumi, are you sure you're-OH MY GOD!"
So, what do you think? Thanx for the reviews. Sorry for the Cliffy. I'll update soon.
