A/N: Thanks again to all of my reviewers! I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Jeremies-Girl – Umm . . . . I'm not to sure what's wrong. I think you just need to click on the story you want to fix! Tell me if that doesn't work though! = ) I'll be happy to help some more!
MagicianCyborg – Thanks for the suggestion! That's what I tried to do – but I guess something happened! I'll check it out.
spiecas – Hmm . . . a lot of people have been saying stuff about this. I'll check it out and see if something's wrong.
'Hmm . . .' Aelita thought to herself as she looked around the mountain region of Lyoko. 'I can't seem to sense any pulsations here. I didn't sense any pulsations in the other regions either. Maybe there isn't an activated tower after all. There could just be something wrong with the programming. Hmm . . . should I contact Jeremy? Probably not. He's in class. I shouldn't bug him in the middle of class just to say everything here is ok. Or at least I think things here are ok! Hmm . . . what should I do until Jeremy gets out of class? Maybe I should go to a tower and try to see if there is something wrong with Lyoko. Or should I leave that to Jeremy? I just don't know what to do. Oh well. I guess the one thing I should do is just wait.' Aelita sat down on one of the rocks and started to meditate. 'This should help pass the time.'
after class
In Jeremy's dorm
"Aelita? Are you there?" Jeremy asked.
"Yes Jeremy. I'm here. How was class?"
"Class was predictable – literally. Every time we go back in time, all of us know exactly what's going to happen for pretty much the whole day. I'm not complaining though."
"It's lunch time right? Is that why no one else is here?"
"Yeah they're all at lunch. Of course, Odd would never miss a single lunch! Not even if he was sick!"
Aelita laughed at Jeremy's comment.
"So how's Lyoko, Aelita? Have any more holes appeared? Did you find an activated tower?"
"Yes more holes have appeared. I'm afraid it's a lot worse then we thought though Jeremy. I went to all the regions while you were in class, but I didn't sense any pulsations. I haven't seen any of X.A.N.A.'s monsters today either. I don't think X.A.N.A. has activated a tower. More holes have appeared though Jeremy. If it's not X.A.N.A., then something may be wrong with the programming."
"Hmm . . . that's strange. I looked at it this morning and didn't seem to find anything wrong with it. Maybe I should go check it out at the factory again . . ."
"You should go eat lunch Jeremy." Aelita said interrupting Jeremy.
"What about Lyoko? And what about you?"
"I'll be fine Jeremy, and Lyoko can wait. You should at least go get something to eat. I can start researching while you're eating if you want me to."
"Ok Aelita. I'll go eat really fast. Then I'll head to the factory."
"What about your other classes though Jeremy?"
"Your right. I'll come back here after I'm done eating to see what you've figured out by then. After school I'll head straight to the factory though ok Aelita?"
"Ok Jeremy. I'll see what I can find out about the programming. Have a good lunch! I'll see you later."
"Bye Aelita."
In the lunch room
"Jeremy sure is taking a long time isn't he?" Yumi asked wondering where her friend was.
"He's probably just trying to figure out if there was wrong with Lyoko." Ulrich replied.
"What would be wrong with Lyoko?" Yumi asked worriedly
"Oh yeah, you weren't with us this morning. Jeremy said that there were holes appearing in Lyoko. Aelita was checking if there were any activated towers while we were in class. Jeremy is probably just seeing if Aelita found anything. He said it isn't something we should worry about at the moment. He knows he can call us if it gets really important though." Ulrich explained.
"I still can't help but feel guilty that we don't help Jeremy at all with things like this and trying to find an anti - virus for Aelita . . ." (A/N – this is after Jeremy materializes Aelita, but since X.A.N.A. put a virus in her the had to send her back to Lyoko until Jeremy could find an anti - virus.) Yumi trailed off. "Speak of the devil!" Yumi said smiling as Jeremy walked up to their table.
"Hey guys." Jeremy said as he sat down next to Odd who was too busy to say anything.
"Hey, Jeremy." Yumi said smiling.
"Hey. Did Aelita find anything Jeremy?" asked Ulrich.
"Aelita said she didn't feel any pulsations in any of the regions, so we don't think X.A.N.A. activated a tower. We think there might be something wrong with the programming though. Aelita told me she would go see if she could find any information while I ate lunch. I'm going to the factory after school to see if I can find anything wrong with the programming." Jeremy answered Ulrich.
"Do you want us to come to the factory too Jeremy?" Yumi asked.
"If you guys want to come. I don't know what you would do though. Aelita and I are just going to try to figure out what's wrong with Lyoko." Jeremy answered before he started to eat.
"It sounds like he just wants to be alone with Aelita!" Odd said with a big smile on his face. Jeremy blushed.
"Shut up Odd. You're embarrassing Jeremy!" Yumi said almost yelling at Odd. "It's ok Jeremy. I can come after school if you want some extra help." Yumi said.
"I can come too." Ulrich said.
"Me too, but me and Ulrich can't come right after school, but if you want we could come a little later." Odd said smiling quickly before he starting eating again.
Yumi gave a strange look to Ulrich meaning something like: "What are you and Odd doing?". Ulrich just shook his head at Yumi meaning something like "It's nothing.".
Yumi stood up. "Well I'm done. I'll see you guys later ok?" Yumi left and went outside.
"Actually I think I'm done too you guys." Ulrich stood up too.
"Leave your cake!" Odd looked at Ulrich like he was insane.
"Oh, sorry Odd, here you go." Ulrich said as he handed Odd his piece of cake.
"Yum! Chocolate!" Odd said licking his lips. That was the last thing Ulrich heard before he left to go find Yumi.
Yumi was outside on a bench reading a book when Ulrich walked up to her. He sat down by her.
"What are you reading?"
"Oh nothing. It's just some book I have to read for class."
"Oh."
"What are you doing here? Did you want to train or something?" Yumi asked smiled.
"No, I just came out because I was done. Odd would have being eating, and Jeremy would have been lost in thought anyway."
"Oh." Yumi said. She glared at Sissy as she saw her come over looking at Ulrich.
"Oh! Hello Ulrich dear!" Sissy said as she smiled at Ulrich.
"What do you want this time Sissy?" Ulrich asked glaring at Sissy. He smiled. "Wait! Let me guess?" Ulrich put his hands to his head like he was thinking hard. "Umm . . . I'm thinking it has something to do with you asking me something . . . Wait! It's going to be something that I can easily embarrass you with!"
"Hmph!" Sissy glared at Yumi. "I know you wouldn't be acting this way if she weren't here. Both of us know that. Huh Ulrich? I know you love me even if you won't say it."
"Now see? What did I tell you? You would say something that I could easily embarrass you with. You see, you're wrong about everything you just said. First of all even if Yumi wasn't here, I still would say something to embarrass you or make you go away, and for the last time Sissy, I DON'T LIKE YOU! NOT EVEN A LITTLE! I LIKE YUMI AND ONLY YUMI SO GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE!!!" Ulrich said almost yelling.
Yumi blushed and the sound of her name.
"FINE!" Sissy yelled as she stomped off.
"I just don't know why she won't leave me alone!" Ulrich said as he turned to Yumi.
"Yeah . . ." Yumi said turning away.
"Yumi, Are you ok?" Ulrich asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." The bell ending lunch rang. 'Saved by the bell!' "I'll see you later at the factory . . . if you go ok?" Yumi said as she ran off with her book in her arms against her chest.
"Yumi, why are you running?" Ulrich asked Yumi as she ran to class. 'I hope I didn't upset her or something.'
after school
Odd and Ulrich's dorm
"So what's the big secret Ulrich?" Odd asked as he sat down on his bed and started to pet Kiwi.
"It's not a secret, but it big . . ."
"Just spit it out already! It sure seems like a secret since you're making it so suspenseful and you're only telling me!"
"Look Odd! I told Yumi ok? Happy now?"
"You mean you really told her? You didn't chicken out at the last minute?"
"Yeah I really told her. Then you came banging on the door wondering if you could come in."
"Oh! Did I really do that?" Odd said with an innocent smile on his face.
"Yeah you did. That's why I left. She came running after me and hugged me as she told me she loved me too."
"See . . ."
"I'm not finished - the reason I ditched you after class was cause I went you Yumi's class before it got out so I could ask her if she wanted me to walk her to her next class. . ." 'And then she kissed me on the cheek.' Ulrich said smiling.
"See! What did I tell you Romeo? I told you she was crazy about you didn't I?"
"Well that's what I thought until today after lunch. After I left you guys, I went outside and sat by Yumi who was sitting on a bench reading. Well talked a little, but then Sissy came. She was like always. You know annoying and self-centered. I told her off like usual and said that I didn't like her at all and that the only person I liked was Yumi. Sissy stomped off but then the bell rang not even a minute later. Yumi ran away saying she would see me at the factory later. She kind of just left me there. I don't know what was wrong with her . . ."
"I don't know what to tell you Ulrich. Maybe we should go to the factory though and see what Jeremy, Aelita, and possibly Yumi have found out while we were in here."
"Your probably right Odd, lets go."
A/N - Well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Sorry it took me so long to update! I had major writers block plus I had to do a ton of babysitting! = ) Anyway, please review before you go!
