(A/n: EEP! I lost reviewers! Did the story go down the crapper that fast? In one chapter?!)
I sat down in mine and Ulrick's dorm waiting for Jeremy to come in.
"She really defeated a crab on her own?" Ulrick asked
"Samantha kind of flipped her onto the crabs back." I said.
"Wow, that's pretty impressive." Ulrick said, looking up at the ceiling, "But how did the crab even get out of the Scanners?"
"I don't know. Who really knows how Xana works though." Yumi finally said something.
There was a click and Jeremy walked through the door. He let out a big sigh, he looked a bit bummed too.
"What's wrong?" Yumi asked
"It's Aelita…" He replied miserably
"What happened?" Ulrick and I said in unison
"She's keeping something from me."
"Is that all?" I asked with relief. I thought something happened to her.
"What do you mean 'is that all'? Did you hear me? I said she—"
"She has a secret." Yumi said, "It's nothing to be worried about Jeremy. All girls have secrets. So do guys, it's a natural thing."
Jeremy frowned a bit then smiled,
"Yea your right, I'm probably just over reacting."
"Exactly." I said, "It might be a bit exciting for her too, after all, this is her first secret."
"Maybe…" Jeremy replied, "Anyways, Odd, tell me about what happened with those two girls and the crab."
I repeated everything that happened that a few hours ago. When I finished, everyone was very quiet. Say something already!
"Should we take her to the factory?" Yumi asked
Everyone's attention snapped so her.
"I mean," Yumi continued, "Odd, you said yourself that she took the crab down with a dagger. She could be some help in Lyoko."
"I don't know Yumi." Jeremy said, "How do we know she won't go running to the police?"
Now it was my turn for everyone to stare at me. How should I know?
"I'm sure she wouldn't." I said.
"I'm just not sure if we could risk it." Jeremy sighed.
"Well when we go back to the past she still remembers everything." I said
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Jeremy shouted, "That changes a lot of things odd!"
"I didn't think it'd make that much of a difference." I said.
"Odd, go get her! We need to talk to her." Jeremy seemed very mad; I didn't think that that would make so much difference.
"Okay, okay." I said as I got up and walked out the door.
"Hi Odd." Hope said as she opened her door. "What's up?"
She stepped out with Joel in her arms.
"Can I get you to come with me?" I asked
"Uh…..sure." Hope locked the door and began to fallow me back to the school, "What's going on?"
"Some friends of mine want to talk to you." I said
"Why do you look so serious?" She asked
I bite my bottom lip and didn't answer.
"Odd?"
It was silent until we got to the dorm, we avoided any run ins with Jim too.
"Hope," I said as I opened the door, "I'd like you to meet Ulrick, Yumi, and Jeremy. Guys, this is Hope."
There was an awkward silence as everyone just stared at each other.
"Do know anything about a girl named Aelita?" Jeremy asked, breaking the silence
Hope froze with a look of shock on her face.
"I……..I can't say that I have." She answered.
Jeremy frowned.
"Lyoko." Yumi said.
Hope's eyes looked like they almost popped out of her head,
"Excuse me?"
"Lyoko." Yumi repeated.
Hope stared at her for a minute.
"M-maybe I should go." Hope said as she turned around.
"Let's go to the factory." Ulrick said.
"What if she goes to the police?" Jeremy exclaimed.
Hope laughed, "Me and the police? No chance of that happening."
"Jeremy, it couldn't hurt." Yumi said.
"Fine." He said with a sigh.
"Lets go." I said
This is defiantly going to be interesting....
