Monica left him with that.

"Jeremy, what's wrong?" Aelita asked, in her normal soothing way.

"I don't know if I should call this guy or not, I don't know what he'd say about Lyoko" Jeremy replied

"If he can help you it doesn't matter"

"Yeah, you're probably right, but this is going to be hard, I don't know him and who's to say that he'd help"

"Jeremy, you know as well as I do sometimes you have to take risks, and this is one you'll have to face, now come on... we don't have much time. He'd probably be the key to getting this anti-virus done"

Yeah, you may be right" Jeremy hesitantly picked up his cell phone; he was unsure what to tell Billy over the phone, little did he know Billy was expecting this call.

"Hello" the voice on the other end seemed like just anyone.

"Hello, is this Billy?"

"Yes and this must me Jeremy" Billy chuckled, he wasn't sure but this hesitant young man sounded like what he thought, Jeremy would.

"Yes, how do you know my name?"

"A friend told me to be expecting a call from you, I heard about what's going on, listen why don't I meet you outside the school building and we'll go on from there"

"Okay, at the front entrance."

They set everything up and all went as planned. Billy looked at the school for a moment and then at Jeremy. Jeremy was a small kid, the type others would refer to as a nerd... not unlike Billy himself. Jeremy and Billy first went to the factory.

"We're headed here because"

"This is where the main Lyoko computer is, and if we can do this anywhere it's there"

"How long do you have before its too late?"

"Twenty-four hours" Jeremy replied "or less, I honestly don't know, and I'm worried"

"It's understandable that you're worried, this is not going to be easy, but I have a feeling we can get this done with plenty of time to spare" Billy seemed confident, but not over confident, Jeremy knew that the quickest way to fail was over confidence, he'd seen that plenty of times with Odd getting his hind end devirtualized due to being too confident in himself.

They got to the super computer and immediately got to work. Billy was surprised to find how far Jeremy was on finding the anti-virus and he knew this wouldn't take long. He started to work and was startled by Aelita coming up to say hello. He hadn't expected her to be quite so enthusiastic about leaving her home, but then again there was a lot more for her to do on earth and someone to love her.

He hoped that he could do this for them, they deserved each other, and he liked it that a nerd like Jeremy could find someone like Aelita, who didn't know about stereotyping and what was popular and honestly could care less. She had found the person who made her happy, and she didn't care what he looked like.

Jeremy smiled at seeing her face, he couldn't wait to have her in his arms, he knew he'd hug her this time, if only for a short time, his heart pounded at the thought. then he got his head together and began to help Billy. It was a Saturday so he didn't have to worry his friends with covering for him.

Billy told Jeremy what he wanted him to handle and what Billy handled himself, he even put Aelita to work, and she was more than happy to help, she couldn't wait to get out of there... for good.

Then Billy ran the first test run... it went and they couldn't tell what was about to happen but everyone was holding their breath, Aelita had her fingers crossed she was hoping that it would work.

To Be Continued....
