Meeting Aelita

Hours passed and she found herself in front of the Kadic High School. Students were hanging out in the courtyard. As she looked in, she couldn't help but stare at how everyone appeared so happy.

"It must be nice to have friends." She thought.

"Hey what are you doing out here all alone?" A voice asked

She turned to see Odd standing against the entrance to the school. At first she gasped and levitated into the air, but hit the ground hard.

"Don't scare me like that." She said nervously

"Sorry." Odd sighed; "So what are you doing out here?"

"I just... moved back here. It's been a long time since I've seen Kadic."

"Where did you live before?"

"I'd rather not talk about it. I'm Kya by the way."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Odd."

"Like wise Odd. Are those your friends over there? They seem to be looking over here."

"Yeah why don't you come over and meet them?"

"Sure, hang on."

She took off her blue top and pulled down a white t-shirt with a black star on the front. Odd then led her into the school yard and up to his friends. While they walked Kya began to feel weird and stared at a tree branch, it snapped off and landed at her feet.

"That was weird." Odd commented

"Yeah it was." Kya replied with a smile

"Guys this is Kya. Kya these are my friends Jeremy, Yumi, and Ulrich." Odd began pointing to each one of his friends.

"Nice to meet you all." Kya held out her hand

"Same here Kya." They all replied shaking her hand.

"So where are you from?" Jeremy asked

"I used to live here, but then moved. I just came back today and it feels good to be home." Kya replied.

"Welcome home." Yumi bowed her head.

"Look out, here comes Sissy and her friends." Odd whispered.

They all turned to see Sissy and her two friends Herb and Nicholas walking up to them. Sissy stared at Kya and her jaw dropped.

"You can't let me hang out with you, but then you decide to let this girl in?" She whined

"At least she doesn't stalk someone in particular almost everyday." Odd laughed

"When are you going to get it through your head?" Ulrich asked

"Not for a while, it's probably so thick it'll take years." Odd chimed in again.

"What does she have that I don't?" Sissy asked looking Kya up and down.

"Something you'll never have, a personality." Kya stepped forward; "Now get out of here."

"Or what you wannabe?" She sneered

Kya stared at Sissy and she levitated her off the ground. She screamed and then Kya let her hit the ground and slide a few feet away from them. Sissy got to her feet and ran off, with Herb and Nicholas right behind her. Everyone looked at her and she suddenly felt a strange feeling coming over her. She fell to the ground putting her hands over her ears, trying to block something from entering her ears.

"Are you ok Kya?" Odd asked holding out his hand to her

Slowly she let her hands down and then saw him smiling down at her. She took his hand into hers and he helped her back on her feet.

"I just don't know what came over me." She sighed; "Maybe I should go."

"No we'd like you to stay. Don't worry about Sissy." He replied

"You don't have to put up with her everyday." Ulrich added

"We'd better go guys, promised Aelita we'd meet her later." Jeremy began

"Kya would you like to come with us." Yumi asked

"Sure."

While they walked into the park, Odd lifted the manhole cover and everyone started climbing down. Kya followed them and soon they each grabbed a skateboard and Jeremy got on his scooter.

"Do you think we can trust her?" Yumi whispered to Jeremy

"If we introduce her to Aelita, I'm sure she'll be able to help us. Besides she seems to be very powerful and Lyoko might be able to unlock her true potential." Jeremy replied

"Odd where are we going?" Kya asked pulling up beside him

"You have to promise me you won't tell anyone about what you're going to see." He began slowly.

"I promise never to tell anyone." She smiled

They came to another latter; Ulrich started climbing and uncovered the manhole. Soon each of them climbed up and out, then walked into the factory. Each of them grabbed a rope and swung down onto the bottom floor. Kya watched everyone, but levitated into the air and landed on her feet, while the others entered the elevator. She followed them inside and watched as the doors slowly closed and started moving. The doors opened once again and Jeremy took his seat at the super calculator.

"What is this place?" Kya asked

"This is the lab and that's the super calculator. Jeremy uses it to transfer Yumi, Ulrich, and I into a virtual world called Lyoko. That's where our friend Aelita lives and our enemy named Xana. Xana is a computer that takes over things in our world, when that he attacks a tower on Lyoko is activated. We go in and help Aelita deactivate it." Odd replied.

"Does Aelita ever come here?"

"She did for one day, but had to go back. Xana had implanted a virus and if we try to shut him down, Aelita will die. So I'm working on a anti-virus program to bring her here permanently, even though she could come here for a couple of hours." Jeremy continued; "Aelita can you hear me?"

Aelita appeared on the screen and waved to everyone. Jeremy signaled Kya to come and join the rest of the group. She looked up and saw a young girl, pink hair, green eyes, and pale skin staring back at her. They exchanged smiles, but then Jeremy began to introduce Aelita to Kya.

"Kya this is Aelita. Aelita this is Kya." Jeremy began

"It's nice to meet you Kya." Aelita replied

"Same here Aelita. So what is it like on Lyoko?"

"Right now things are pretty quiet. Do you think I could come meet Kya in person Jeremy?"

"I don't see why not. I'll leave the scan on incase Xana activates a tower." Jeremy blushed; "Though while I'm doing that, I'll program a character for Kya."

He started typing and began the program to devirtualize Aelita. Slowly he turned to Odd and Kya.

"Why don't you two head to the scanners and meet her." He suggested

"Sure, we'll be right back." Odd smiled
