"Are you sure Jeremy?" asked Ulrich.

"I'm pretty sure," he replied. "There's no way he could've survived that attack. It was too powerful, and we saw the light swallowing him up."

"Whew, that was a very, very challenging battle," said Ulchi. "So, what about Odd and Mimi? How are they doing?"

"They're not doing to well. They're getting some kind of fever, and they're still unconscious. Yumi is trying everything to wake them up, but so far nothing is working."

Back at the factory, Odd and Mimi were still lying on the floor. They were getting hot and sweaty. "X.A.N.A's attack must have some kind of sickness effect," thought Yumi. "Jeremy, they're not waking up. I think they could be getting worse."

"Well, keep trying. Put a cold washcloth on their heads or something."

"I'll keep trying to wake them up, but I'm afraid that it won't do any good. I'll go find a sink around here or something to keep them cool."

"It's time," said Jeremy to Aelita.

"Okay Jeremy."

"Just go into the tower while I start up the program."

Aelita went into the tower to get materialized. Ulrich and Ulchi went back to their world waiting for Aelita to come. Ulrich got out of the scanners, and he saw Yumi running towards him.

"Ulrich!" cried Yumi while giving him a big hug. Ulrich started to blush. "You and Ulchi did fantastic."

"Well, Ulchi did the thinking," said Ulrich.

Ulchi came out of the scanner, and the first thing he wanted to do was to find Mimi. He looked down on the floor next to Jeremy and saw Odd and Mimi unconscious. "She looks so helpless," he thought. "So any luck?" he asked Jeremy while still looking down at the floor.

"Nope," he replied.

"I tried everything I could think of," said Yumi, "but nothing worked."

"Hmm..." Ulchi said quietly.

"What?" asked Yumi.

"Oh, nothing."

Ulchi looked at how beautiful Mimi was. He wished he could've protected her from that last lightning bolt, but she pushed him out of the way. Without her help, X.A.N.A. might've won. Ulchi then began to wonder, "How did she know about defeating X.A.N.A? How come she didn't tell us earlier? Did she know that Ulrich's weapon and my weapon could've been combined? Now that I think of it, how did she know the right codes for the program to materialize Aelita? How come she didn't finish the whole program up? She worked on the program really well until this part she said that she 'didn't get'. Did she purposely do that, and did she purposely do that miscalculation? How does she know these things?" Ulchi was beginning to have some doubts about Mimi. "She could be working for X.A.N.A., but she's Yumi's cousin. I don't know what to think anymore. I guess I just have to trust with my heart."

"Are you okay?" asked Yumi. Ulchi was startled and that broke his thoughts about Mimi.

"Uh, yea," he replied, and then he looked at Mimi again.

"You don't look okay."

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Mimi... and um Odd."

"Hmm..." thought Yumi, "looks like Ulrich's little brother has a crush on my cousin. This is interesting."

"Aelita's finish materializing," said Jeremy. "Let's go check the scanners."

They found Aelita curled up on the floor of the scanner. "Hello again," she said.

"Hi, welcome," said Jeremy, Ulrich, Yumi, and Ulchi with a half smile.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Aren't you glad to see me? Where are Mimi and Odd?"

"We're really glad to see you," said Jeremy, who was beginning to blush.

"It's just that," began Yumi, but she couldn't finish.

"Odd and Mimi are still unconscious," Ulchi finished.

"I can probably wake them up," said Aelita.

"How?" asked Yumi. "I tried everything I could think of."

"Have you tried singing?"

"Singing?" questioned all of them

"What does singing have to do with this?" asked Ulchi.

"Well, X.A.N.A.'s lighting attacks have an after effect that makes the person unconscious forever, but in order to break the spell you have to sing," explained Aelita.

"Oh, that's interesting," said Jeremy.

"Yea, I would've never thought of that," said Yumi.

Aelita then sang a short, sweet song. Odd shuddered for a split second and then he stopped. "They're sleeping now," said Aelita.

"I'll wake Mimi up," said Ulchi. He leaned over her and gave her a long kiss on the lips. Mimi slowly woke up.

"What happened?" she asked. "I feel dizzy and my head hurts. I feel like I've been hit with a rock."

"We'll explain after Odd wakes up," replied Jeremy.

Ulrich slapped Odd on the cheeks and shook him gently. That didn't work, so he started to shake him more violently.

"Just five more minutes," said Odd in a sleepy voice.

"Ahh," grunted Ulrich. "He just won't wake up!"

"I have an idea," said Yumi. "If this doesn't work then nothing will. She leaned towards Odd's face. Ulrich started to get nervous, and his heart started to beat faster. "Is she really going to kiss Odd?" he thought.

"I don't think kissing him will work," said Jeremy.

"Who said anything about kissing him? I'm not going to do that," said Yumi. Ulrich was relived. "I'm going to do something else," she said. Then she whispered in his ear, "Odd, wake up, there's cake."

Odd popped up, and put his hands on his head. "Ow, my head hurts. So where's the cake?"

"Look he's up," said Ulchi.

"Cake, cake, where's the cake?"

"There is no cake. It was a trick to get you to wake up."

"So no cake?"

"Yep, no cake."

"No food either?"

"Do you always think about food?"

"Well, it is late, and I'm really hungry."

"That's right, it is late," said Ulrich. "Our curfew is in about 15 minutes. We better get back before Jim catches us.

"We'll explain everything tomorrow morning," said Jeremy.

"It's the weekend tomorrow, so we're going to have plenty of time to party!" said Odd.

The guys headed back to the dorms while the girls headed towards Yumi's house.

"So this is what your world is like," said Aelita. "Everything is so dark and quiet."

"This is night time," explained Yumi. "People usually sleep during this time."

"What is this sleep I keep hearing about?" asked Aelita.

"It's wonderful," said Mimi in a cheerful voice. "You rest your mind and dream of wonderful things."

"Sleeping sounds like fun," said Aelita. Aelita shivered. "What did I just do?" she asked.

"You shivered," replied Yumi. "It's something you do when you're cold."

"Oh, so this is what having five senses is like. I can feel things."

They finally reached Yumi's house. The door opened and her father was there. "What took you so long?" asked her father.

"Umm... delay at the airport, and..." replied Yumi. "They were lots of people," interrupted Mimi.

"Be polite dear," whispered Yumi's mom to her father. Her mom said in a big, warm smile, "Welcome Aelita."

"Thank you. I'm going to have a wonderful time here."

"Come on Aelita," said Mimi while tugging on her arm, "I'll show you were you'll sleep."

"Wow," gasped Aelita. "It's beautiful."

"Eh, it's nothing," said Mimi. She points at a bed next to hers. "This is where you'll be sleeping."

"Ooh, that looks comfortable," said Aelita. Then she stared around the room. She saw a jar that caught her eye. "What's that?" she asked.

"This?" said Mimi picking up the jar. "It's just a jar full of a thousand cranes. I have another one like it, but it has about 80 cranes in it."

"They're gorgeous!" cried Aelita. "Did you make ALL of them by yourself?"

"Yep." Mimi went to her desk and pulls something out from one of the drawers and hid it in her hands. "Here, I have a present for you," she said as she slowly opened her hands. A beautiful, sparkly, pink crane sat in her hands. "It's my way of saying thanks."

"I should be thanking you Mimi. I might not be here without you and Jeremy's help."

"No prob. It was a simple, kind of. And I would be unconscious still if you haven't sung to Odd and me."

Yumi came into the room. "How do you like it?"

"It's amazing, thank you."

"Well, Mom and Dad said we should go to bed now. It's almost 12."

"Okay, we'll go to bed," said Mimi.

"We have a big day tomorrow," said Yumi. "Aelita, if you need me, I'm right across the hall. Good night both of you."

"Good night Yumi," said Mimi and Aelita.
