Chapter Two

The factory held a silence that it didn't even have when no one occupied it's runned down rooms. Jeremie sat at the super computer typing away, while the others stood around him, not daring to say a word.

It was the night of materialization and nothing could go wrong. Aelita was waiting patiently inside a nearby tower in the forest region. No words were spoken for a long while.

Jeremie broke the deathening silence by giving Aelita the run through process of her materialization. Sweat drops had formed on his forehead and his hands were shaking as he typed.

"Okay Aelita are you ready? He spoke to her sincerely into the headset he wore.

Aelita nodded as she usually did and stood up getting ready to put in the code.

Jeremie stood and put his headset down. "Okay after she puts in the code press enter, That's all you have to do." Jeremie said to his friends very seriously.

Odd looked at him in suprise. "What? Aren't you going to do it.?"

Jeremie sighed and shook his head. "I have to be there..I am very worried about how this might turn out."

Yumi stepped out in front of odd and Ulrich. "I understand..I will do it for you Jeremie." She said walking over to him and rubbed his shoulder for comfort.

Jeremie nodded and left for the scanner room.

He stood breathing deeply in front of the scanner he had assigned for her becomming.

"Are you ready Jeremie?" He heard yumi yell from the other room

"Yeah" He yelled back nervously.

Aelita soon entered the code: Earth. and password. Her hand dropped to her side and she sighed.

Yumi counted to three and struck the enter key gently.

Aelita felt her body being pulled from the demension.

Jeremie held his breath. He wouldn't even let his breath have the chance of ruining this moment.

Aelita focused all of her thoughts on the voice. She heard that voice repeating her name over and over in an echo until she felt completely ripped from her world..Suddenly she was hit with sensation of cold air hitting every nerve on her body causing some pain. She gasped for her first breath as if it was her last. Her eyes tried to flutter open but it burned and made her head throb. She reached out in front of herself, every part of her body shaking and touched the walls of the scanner. The sensation sent a somewhat painful thrill through her body. A cry escaped her lips..all the things she was feeling were too overwhelming to handle at once. She could feel the air around her and had to grasp onto every breath. She could also feel herself in her own body, which was a very weird feeling. The sound of her own breathing and crying was magnified 100 times than it was in lyoko.

Jeremie heard her cries and imediatly opened the scanner door and pulled her into his arms to calm her.

When she felt him around her, she panicked and started kicking and screaming. But then he spoke and she knew it was him. She wanted to look at him but her eyes hurt too much. "J...eremie?" she managed to say..Her first word as human.

Jeremie Shut the scanner door so they were alone in there. Her brought her closer and ran thin finger through slightly sweaty hair. He whispered away her worries with his sweet voice against her left ear. The voice was what she knew and that made her feel not so scared and alone. Soon enough her body was becomming used to the rush of senses.

The others ran into the scanner room as soon as Yumi had hit the enter key to find no one there. But then they heard sweet whispers comming from the direction of the scanner Aelita was assigned to arrive.

Ulrich nudged Yumi with his elbow. "Um..what are they doing?"

Yumi glanced over at Ulrich with a kinda annoyed look. "don't you remeber what Jeremie said. How it might be bad for Aelita. Well if your completely dumb I guess you wouldn't know that he is trying to comfort her in her time of pain. You know because maybe he cares for her."

Ulrich stared back at Yumi with wide eyes at her sudden out-burst.

Aelita reached up with her shaking hands and placed them on Jeremie's face. She felt him for the first time..(A/N singing Like a virgin..HEY.touched for the very first time) her palms ran over his scalp in small caresses and came back down to his shoulders..she mustered enough strength to speak his name once again. She couldn't see him yet because she wouldn't dare open her eyes. But she had to. "Jere.mie...I ...want..too see.........you." she spoke he words like a baby still learning how to speak.

Jeremie pressed his forhead against hers and held his hands below her ears. "You will..." He suddenly couldn't fight back the tears of happiness and they flowed freely. "I'm just glad we have finally met." he said choking a little. He pulled her to his chest and he never felt so comfortable with anyone before.

Aelita became situated in his embrace and whispered two words before she fell asleep from exahuastuion. "Me too."

Jeremie smiled to himself feeling more happy than he ever had before in his entire life. It was finally okay for her and them too. He knew their adventures in Lyoko had come to an end on that day but he knew they still had smaller adventures to endure in the future. But he had to give up one thing for another and he was more than willing to sacrifice that.

Jeremie opened the door to the scanner and clumsily came out with the new human girl in his arms.

Ulrich and Odd ran over to him and helped him so he wouldn't drop Aelita.

Jeremie smiled at the others. His face was still a little flushed from tears but he never looked happier to any of them. "She's asleep, can she stay with you Yumi.?"

Yumi nodded. " Yeah I think I can talk my parents into it."

Ulrich and odd helped Jeremie carry Aelita back to Yumi's house and she talked her parent's into letting her stay for awhile..

They all took her up to Yumi's room afterwards and laid her down on Yumi's extra bed. Jeremie pulled the covers over her and smiled in the darkness of the room. "take care of her yumi." Jeremie said before running a finger over her check causing a slight twitch from her mouth..

Jeremie left that night back to his dorm at school and slept silently haveing dreams of what was to come for the soon young lovers.
