(Aelita's dream)
Aelita looked around in shock, it was the high school, but not at just anytime, it was prom time. Then she realized that they were all high school age and dressed up fancy... Yumi was in a dress and so was she. Hers was a baby pink the straps were thick and fit off the shoulder, the upper portion looked to fit rather tight to her body and the skirt flowed beautifully down to her ankles. Yumi's dress was spaghetti strapped and navy blue (heh, it isn't black). She then noticed Jeremy, and thought she must be seeing things, he was taller and wasn't wearing glasses! He'd either had corrective laser surgery or was just wearing contacts, turn out the second was true, he hadn't had any permanent changes made, just gotten contacts. Then Aelita gave a slight gasp as she recalled that she was blind when she fell asleep, how come she could see now, had she actually gotten her vision back. She sighed to herself when she realized it was only a dream.

Then Jeremy walked up to her.

"Aelita, come with me" he said, he even sounded different, was this a peak into her future? She didn't know, but she went along with it.

Jeremy guided her out into the center of the dance-floor in front of everyone and the crowd went silent they knew that a surprise was coming for Aelita, Jeremy had told his friends that he planned on surprising her on prom night. His surprise was he was going to ask her to marry him, but the proposal never came.
(End Dream)

Aelita woke up slowly and for a split second she swore she could see Jeremy in front of her, but the the image went away. Jeremy felt her move and woke up as well.

"Aelita, what's wrong?" he asked

"I had a weird dream"

"Will you tell me about your dream?"

"Okay" Aelita told him about the dream and what happened when she woke up.

Then Jim walked in.

"Jeremy! What are you doing in hear?" Jim asked

"The principal gave me permission to stay with her tonight, and ride with her to the other school"

"Oh, oh yeah, I forgot, that was an agreement between him, Mrs. Hertz and myself"

They left the room, Jeremy guiding Aelita, allowing her to cling to him do to her fear of moving around very much without vision.

"Don't worry Aelita, I won't let you get hurt." he assured her gently.

They got into the vehicle and started off.

Aelita leaned against Jeremy hiding her face in his shirt, she was scared by the fact that she couldn't see, scared more by the fact that she would be surrounded by strangers he put his arms around her to comfort her, and she sat up.

"Aelita, I have something that I'm sure you want" Jeremy placed her left hand on the small pink teddy bear that he held.

"M-my teddy bear" she hugged it near herself and felt Jeremy bring her near.

"Awe, they are so cute together, such young kids, he's so tolerant and willing to go out of his way for her" the female driver observed through the rear-view mirror and softly sighed. She was sad to see such a couple such as those two split up by such an issue. "I feel so bad for them"

"Believe me, you are not the only one" Mr. Delmas said from the front passenger seat "why even my daughter has spoken as to how wrong she feels this is... it's about time Elizabeth grew out of that selfish streak she has"

They arrived and Jeremy begged to be allowed to stay for a while until she settled in a bit better, not just drop her off and go and reluctantly the school officials agreed seeing the trauma she had been through already. Jeremy sighed resigning himself to the fact that he'd have to leave her eventually but he was comforted by the fact that he didn't have to leave just yet. Then a strange woman walked over to them she was tall and had very long, dark hair the top layers of which were pulled up into a tight bun. Her smile was that of a genuinely caring person.

"Hi" she said to them

"Hello, ma'am" he replied quietly

"What's your name?" she asked

"Jeremy and she's Aelita" he indicated the girl who was holding his hand

"Oh, it's nice to meet you two, my name is Trista" she paused and asked them to come with her. Jeremy guided Aelita who clung more to him than he thought she would, he couldn't imagen what she would be doing if she was forced to go through this alone.

Trista was concerned about this girl she seemed clingy and very frightened. Then Kaitlin walked up, she had volunteered at the school to help the new arrivals settle in and she had a feeling she had her hands full, then she saw Aelita and realized how bad it was.

"Jeremy, what happened to her?" she asked

"I'm not sure" he replied, "but she's blind now"

A tear fell down Jeremy's cheek and he was thankful that she couldn't see that he was about to cry at being told that he was to leave immediately.

'Don't worry about her, Jeremy, she'll be in my care' Kaitlin told him telepathically.

'Thank you, Kaitlin' Jeremy replied 'You have no idea how comforting that is for me'

'I think I do' Kaitlin felt bad that they were so close but he wasn't being allowed to stay with her until she settled down a little.

After Jeremy left Aelita went completely silent, that was until Kaitlin mad her presence known to Aelita.

"Kaitlin?" Aelita said after Kaitlin started talking to her

"Yes, it's me Aelita, I'm here to help you" Kaitlin smiled slightly, she was a bit sad that Aelita was now blind but happy that she could help.

Then Kaitlin looked up at her boss, who didn't seem amused by the fact that Kaitlin already knew her charge, although he said nothing. She shook off her suspicions that something wasn't right.
