Summary: Sequel to Enter the Song, and only more fluff for everybody's favorite 'only a world apart' couple. (aka Jeremie and Aelita) Plus now it's Sissy's turn to wreck some havoc, and Theo makes a slight return. It's placed about a month after Jeremie and Aelita first have gotten together.
Disclaim: I don't own C.L. kids or anything else. Wish I did…the world would be screwed. Please enjoy and review. Thanks.
To Love A Genius"Wake up…Princess…Aelita, wake up…"
The pink-haired girl rolled over in her sleep, grumbling, trying to ignore the soft voice that was piercing her sleep. She was having such a good dream too.
"Princess…"
Finally Aelita let her eyes flutter open, and she blinked. The handsome face of Jeremie Beloplis slowly swam into view, and she smiled. "Good morning, Jeremie."
Jeremie leaned down, and kissed her quickly. "Good morning, Princess. How do you feel today?"
Aelita grinned. "Like Odd after drinking too much coffee."
Jeremie shuddered. "Heaven forbid. He's already hyper enough." Aelita giggled, and sat up. Sunlight filtered the windows of the spare guest room at Yumi's house where Aelita, though she now had a dorm at school, liked to stay over. She looked back at Jeremie, who was sitting the edge of her bed, smiling.
"What's so funny?"
Jeremie shook his head. "Nothing. You just look very pretty in that dress." Aelita blushed, glancing down at the red and pink nightgown she wore. Trust Jeremie to mess with her mind so early, flirting with her as he did. He knew how do distract her. Aelita smiled. That trick can go both ways, she thought and looked back up at him.
"I trust this isn't just for a morning visit?" she inquired, looking at him through her eyelashes- a trick she got from Yumi. "Just come to wake me up from my dreams about you?" Aelita knew she had hit the jackpot when Jeremie blushed darkly.
"About me, huh?"
Aelita grinned wickedly. "Maybe…so tell me, my Jeremie, what are you up too?"
He tried to look innocent, and reached out to tickle her foot. Aelita squeaked and scrambled away, trying not to simply fall over, out of bed. Jeremie chuckled, and helped Aelita settle herself.
"What are you two up too?"
Yumi leaned against the door frame, smirking. Jeremie and Aelita both blushed, looking at each other guiltily. Yumi grinned.
"I know that look. Now c'mon. It's time for breakfast."
"Pancakes?" Aelita asked hopefully as she hopped off the bed. Pancakes had become her most favorite food in the world since she had come to Earth two years ago.
Yumi grinned again. "Correction: chocolate chip pancakes." Aelita gave a little yell of happiness, and ran down stairs after kissing a stunned Jeremie on the cheek. Yumi stuffed a fist in her mouth to keep herself from giggling, and Jeremie just grinned very wide. He loved the way Aelita went from flirty, shy Princess, to the happy-go-lucky goofball that had practically been installed in her by the four of her earth friends.
Yumi shook her head at the goofy look on her friend's face. "You have got it bad."
Jeremie's grin widened. "I know." Yumi just rolled her eyes, and followed Aelita down stairs.
LATER THAT MORNING-
"Yumi! Phone!"
Yumi's mother smiled slightly at Aelita, who had the phone. "It's Ulrich, isn't it?"
Yumi, who had just come into the room, blushed deeply. "MOM!" Aelita and Jeremie, who was now studying for a physics test, both burst out laughing. Yumi glared at them and dove for the phone.
"Hello? Oh, hey Ulrich. What's up?" With a last glare at her mother, and her two hysterical friends, she walked out of the room, still talking to Ulrich. Mrs. Ishyama smiled.
"At least you two have enough sense to admit to each other your feelings," she commented, surprised the couple. "I don't think Yumi realized how obvious it is that she likes that boy." Aelita and Jeremie both nodded.
"We've been trying to get them together for ages," Jeremie admitted, then shook his head. "Both of them are as stubborn as mules." Aelita nodded.
"I do think they would be very good for each other," she said, smiling. "Like loves like." Seeing the surprised look on Mrs. Ishyama face, she shrugged. "It's a proverb, where I come from." Jeremie looked at her, raising an eyebrow. Aelita smiled innocently, and Jeremie couldn't help smiling back.
"YOU GUYS!" Yumi suddenly came pelting back into the room. "We have to go to Kadic, and now."
Jeremie and Aelita both gaped at her. Yumi looked down-right scared, something that didn't happen often. The couple nodded, said a quick good bye to Yumi's mother, and left at a run.
"You mind explaining?" Jeremie panted as they spirited toward the school. Yumi glanced at him.
"Sissy played some sort of prank this morning…Ulrich didn't say, but it's bad. I could hear Odd freaking out behind him so…" she trailed off. Jeremie cursed softly under his breath, and began to run faster. Aelita frowned, knowing that Odd rarely 'freaked out'. Finally they reached the school gates, and ran inside. When they got to the building, Odd, Ulrich, an irate-looking Jim, and the principle were waiting for them. The principle looked coldly at them as Odd and Ulrich stood next to Jeremie.
"You five have some thing to explain. Come with me."
With nervous glances, the five students followed him, Jim taking up the end. When they reached the principles office, the man gestured to his desk, where Jeremie's laptop was sitting. The principle turned the computer to face them, and all five of them gasped, and Aelita's grip on Jeremie's hand grew almost painfully tight.
"Can you explain this?"
