Yumi woke up early the next day. She yawned and said, "I shouldn't have gone to sleep so late last night." Yumi went to Mimi's room to wake up her and Aelita. She found Mimi's bed empty. Mimi heard someone walking and she came out of the kitchen to see who it was.

"Hey Yumi, morning. Auntie and Uncle went to work, so I'm making breakfast. Can you go wake up Aelita?" asked Mimi.

"Sure," replied Yumi, "I was going to wake you and Aelita up. I didn't expect you to wake up so early. So what's for breakfast?"

"Pancakes, eggs, toast, and juice or milk,"

"Sounds good, I'll go wake Aelita up."

Yumi went back to Mimi's room to wake up Aelita. Yumi saw how peaceful Aelita looked when she was sleeping. "I don't really want to wake her up," thought Yumi, "but I have to."

"Aelita," said Yumi while she gently shook her shoulder, "it's time to wake up."

"Aelita slowly woke up. "Hi Yumi, I slept great last night. It was wonderful. I could sleep all day."

"Yea, I can believe that," said Yumi. "Let's go eat breakfast."

Yumi and Aelita went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. "Something smells really good," said Aelita.

"That's breakfast. You're going to enjoy it," said Yumi. "It's really good."

Yumi, Mimi, and Aelita sat down in the dining room for breakfast. They ate everything. "Mmm... this was delicious," said Aelita.

"Thanks," said Mimi. "Let's go meet up with the guys now. Jeremy still has to explain a lot of things."

Yumi, Mimi, and Aelita went down to the park to meet up with the guys. "Hey Aelita," said Jeremy. "You slept great last night?"

"Yes, it was wonderful."

"Jeremy, you still have to tell Odd and me what happened yesterday," said Mimi.

"What happened yesterday was that there was no cake. That's what happened," said Odd.

"Would you get over the cake thing?" said Ulrich with an annoyed voice. "You were dreaming about it last night."

"I was?" asked Odd. "Are you sure?"

"Yea," replied Ulrich.

"How would you know?"

"Gee Odd, I don't know," said Ulrich sarcastically, "maybe you were drooling and licking your pillow going mmm... cake. It wasn't a pretty sight. Haha, you should've seen Kiwi."

"Really? Uh well what happened to Mimi and me yesterday?" asked Odd trying to change the subject.

"Let's see," said Jeremy. "After X.A.N.A.'s lightning attacks, you returned back to our world first and then Mimi. You were both found unconscious in the scanners and had some sort of fever. You two were hot and sweaty."

"Eww," said Mimi.

"Yea, and there was no way of waking you two up," continued Jeremy, "Yumi tried everything she could think of until Aelita came. She sang a beautiful song, and then you two were sleeping instead of being under X.A.N.A.'s unconscious spell. Then Ulchi woke Mimi up." Ulchi and Mimi blushed at the thought of that. "And Yumi woke Odd by saying that there was cake," finished Jeremy.

"So that's what happened," said Odd. "I was hungry last night."

"No wonder out heads hurt yesterday," said Mimi.

"Okay, now you know, but we have no time to waste today," said Jeremy. "We have to go to the factory right away."

"Why?" asked Aelita.

"To shut off the computer."

"Oh," said Aelita unenthusiastically.

Everyone went to the factory to shut off X.A.N.A. for extra security. They appeared in the room where they could shut X.A.N.A. off. Everyone was nervous, but not as nervous as Jeremy and Aelita.

"I know Lyoko is your home," started Jeremy, "and everything, but."

"No, do it Jeremy. Shut it off. It's for the best, and X.A.N.A. won't harm anyone anymore. Don't worry about me," said Aelita quickly without a pause. "I'm finally in your world."

"Okay Aelita. Would you like to do the honors?" asked Jeremy.

"No, you do it," she said in a broken voice. "I'll just stand here and watch."

Jeremy stepped up to the switch while everyone had their eyes on him. He raised his hand towards the lever. Then he firmly gripped the handle. He looked back behind him at his friends and asked, "Everyone ready?"

"Yes," they replied.

"We're all behind you," said Ulrich.

Jeremy's hand slowly went down, pulling the handle along with it. Then the machines slowly stopped humming, and everything got dimmer with each passing second. Soon, the room was dark. X.A.N.A. was shut off and can do no harm. Once they got out of the factory and into the sunlight, Aelita started to cry.

"What's wrong Aelita?" asked Jeremy. He went over to her and held her in his arms, trying to comfort her. Aelita had streams of tears coming from her eyes.

"I'm never going to see Lyoko again," she said.

"You will," said Jeremy, "well kind of."

"What?" asked Aelita who was confused.

"I saved the landscape of Lyoko onto my computer. I figured that you would miss it after we shut the computers down."

"So I can see Lyoko on your computer?" Her tears were beginning to dry up, and her face began to light up.

"Yea, it's the best I could do."

"Thank you Jeremy!" she cried. "You don't know how much this means to me." Aelita gave Jeremy a light kiss on his cheek.

"Uh, you're welcome Aelita," said Jeremy with an extremely blushed face.

"We should get going now," said Aelita. "I have a lot to see and learn."

"Yea, I agree with Aelita," said Odd. "We better get going or we won't have any time left for partying.

It was about 11:00 in the afternoon, and the gang just left the factory. They were glad that they finally shut off X.A.N.A. They went into town. Jeremy and Aelita walked past some carnations. Jeremy picked a pink one up.

"Hey Aelita, smell this," said Jeremy. He held the flower underneath her nose.

"It smells lovely," said Aelita. They walked for a couple of minutes before anyone said anything.

"Hey, let's get an ice cream to celebrate," suggested Odd.

"That sounds great," said Aelita. "I heard that it's sweet and yummy."

"Ice creams have many flavors and this ice cream store has a lot," said Jeremy.

"Oh," said Aelita. "I wonder which I'll get."

"I'll help you with that," said Odd. "I tried all of them."

"He's right too," said Ulrich.

Then Aelita giggled and said, "Then I try all of them too."

"I think you should start with one," said Yumi.

"Yea, Odd just likes food a lot," said Mimi.

They walked into the ice cream store. Aelita was amazed.

"It's kind of cold in here," she said.

"Ice cream needs to be kept cold, or they'll melt," said Ulchi.

"Come here," said Jeremy. Then he gently pulled Aelita towards the counter that had the many ice cream flavors. "You can pick one of these."

"These all look delicious," said Aelita. Aelita spotted a pink one, and she wanted to try that out. "This one looks yummy," she said pointing at the cotton candy flavored ice cream.

"Looks like you got the cotton candy ice cream," said Odd. "It taste good, but my favorite is rocky road."

"I might try that one next time," said Aelita. "This one looks good."

"Okay, we'll get this one for you," said Jeremy. "I'll get strawberry."

"Which one are you getting Yumi?" asked Mimi.

"I think I'm going to get the double chocolate," said Yumi. "What about you Mimi.

"I'm going to get the oreo cookie dough. It's my favorite," said Mimi.

Yumi saw Ulrich and Ulchi whispering among each other. She thought they were discussing about what kind of flavor to get.

"Hey Ulchi, you like Mimi right?" asked Ulrich.

"Yea," Ulchi replied. "And you like Yumi. So are you going to ask her to the dance today?"

"Only if you ask Mimi," replied Ulrich.

"Sure," said Ulchi. "So are you going to ask first, or do I have to ask first?"

"Umm... hmm... I don't know," said Ulrich.

"I'll ask Mimi first then," said Ulchi. "And I expect you to ask Yumi after I ask Mimi."

"Is that a threat?" asked Ulrich in a joking tone.

"Yea," said Ulchi with a silly voice, then he started laughing.

"Have you two decided yet?" asked Yumi.

"Uhh... I'll get vanilla," said Ulchi.

"Me too," said Ulrich.

"Okay, so that's one cotton candy, one strawberry, one rocky road, one double chocolate, one oreo cookie dough, and two vanilla ice creams," said Odd. "Correct me if I'm wrong. This is your only chance before I order it."

"It's good," the others said.

Odd ordered the ice cream while the others find a table. Once they found one, they sat down while Odd was bringing the ice cream back.

"I hope he didn't eat them all or licked them all," said Ulrich.

"Knowing Odd, he just might," said Yumi.

"That's gross," said Ulchi.

"I know," agreed Mimi.

Odd then came back with the ice cream. "Here you go. And if all of you were thinking that I licked all of them, you were wrong. And I only did that once as a joke."

"It was a disgusting joke too," said Ulrich.

"You didn't even know until I told you," laughed Odd.

"But it still tasted kind of funny," said Ulrich

"Whatever," said Odd, "Let's just eat. I'm hungry."

While the gang was eating a girl came into the store. She spotted the seven kids and saw one that looked familiar to her. She went up to the table.

"Hey Mimi!" said the girl in an excited voice. "It's been a while."
