Breaking the Habit
Disclaimer: I do not own Code lyoko or Breaking the habit by Linkin park but I do own this fanfic! SO DON'T SUE!
Chapter Four: The dance re-setJeremie woke up the next day with Aelita on his shoulder, it was 7:00am by his watch and they were still by the lake, "Aelita? Aelita? Princess wake up." He shook her lightly and she opened her eyes, "Morning Jere-" She was about to finish when she sneezed, "What? What was that?" "A sneeze Aelita, you get it if you're allergic to something or if you have a cold. Dust can cause it too but I think you may have a small cold. We slept out here all night." "Wow, I didn't think we'd stay out here so-" She sneezed again, "...late."
Jeremie and Aelita walked back to Yumi's, apon walking in they saw Yumi sitting at the table, "Oh hi guys, I got out of the hospital early." Jeremie smiled, "That's good to know." "Yeah, school begins tomorrow. Most of the kids got out of the hospital and most of the teachers too." Aelita sneezed again, "Do you have a cold?" "Yeah. I think so."
Aelita sat down on her bed in the bedroom, "Jeremie? What causes colds?" "A virus often causes it. They are microscopic germs that enter your body and make you feel sick." "A virus? Like Xana? Is it really deadly?" Aelita whispered the last bit in fear. Jeremie laughed, "Don't worry Aelita, it can't kill you, you should get some rest." He said tucking her in, pecking a kiss on her cheek and tip-toeing out of the room.
Jeremie stretched, not fully woken up and walked downstairs to get something to eat. "Yumi? Are Odd and Ulrich out of the hospital yet?" "Not yet. Apparently they should be out tomorrow in time for school." "Just one question." "Yes? What's that?" "Where is school being held?" "Your going to regret asking me that..." "Why?"
The following day Aelita was better and ready for school. She'd have to be for what surprises were in store... "Jeremie, schools up. Where are we going for school?"
Outside the house, birds were chirping, the sun was shining and the trees blew faintly in the wind until... "AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Aelita screamed everything out of her system, "What do you mean they are going to teach at the factory?" Aelita said worriedly, "What if they discover our secret? What if they find out I'm actually data?" "They won't Aelita, they won't. Trust me, we will try to divert attention from the scanner room..."
Later on school started, the gang lined up their desks next to each other, Ulrich's arm was in a sling and Odd had a patch on his shoulder. "So who's idea was it that we start school here?" "Sissy thought it up, she thought it was our hang-out so she convinced her dad it was a good place to teach the lessons. He bought her whole story." "Typical Sissy."
After the lessons the principal took the speaker to make an announcement. "Students I have an announcement to make. As you know the Dance was ruined when a bomb was set off, who it was and for what reason I do not who. But the dance has been re-scheduled and tomorrow evening it will take place. Refreshments, food and a singing competition on top of it. Couples are welcome for the contest. I hope you all have fun." Ulrich smiled, "Well at least one thing today went alright." Sissy walked by with a broken leg, one of her crutches slipped and she fell over, her fall shook the floor enough to wobble a ladder and drop a bucket of green paint on her head, Yumi held in a laugh, "Correction Ulrich, two things today went alright."
The following day soon became the following evening and the dance started. "So what song are you doing?" Odd asked Yumi, "Something with Ulrich right?" "Nah, we decided we didn't want to do it, besides I like so many songs it'd be too hard to choose just one." Suddenly the singing contest began and a spotlight flashed onto the stage, Sissy entered and began to sing an old spice girl song, "BOOOOOOO!" Everyone hissed, Sissy stomped off the stage angrily and the next entries went on stage, most of them weren't very good, but then one stood out from all the rest...
Theo walked on stage, he grabbed the microphone and began his song...
"Guess I will stand alone...
Guess I will stand alone..."
He flicked the microphone around and began singing 'U better fear me.' A/N: I don't know if the lyrics are perfect.
"Stand up,
Show your face while I erase the traces,
Throw it away before me and you know that,
Fate has changed it's tide,
You can not hide,
NOW THE END IS NEAR!"
He took the microphone and began to play it as if he was playing a guitar.
"Because of me,
Your world has crumbled,
I can't be ignored,
Because of me,
Your valesy is history,
And I will stand alone...
I WILL STAND ALONE!"
He was rocking out to the theme of the song, as it came to an end he sped up his rhythm and played harder and faster.
"YOUR WORLD IS FILLED WITH TYRRANY,
YOU WILL NEVER WALK IN FRONT OF ME,
TIME TO TAKE CONTROL OF DESTINY..."
He jumped into the air and raised his arm,
"U BETTER FEAR ME! U BETTER FEAR ME!"
He landed in the splits and shot his arm down to the floor past the Microphone holder.
The crowd of people clapped at his performance, he thought he was gonna win this... but he had another thing coming...
"Now for our last performance... Aelita and Jeremie with Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park!" The crowd clapped as the couple walked through the curtains on the stage...
The base beat began and Jeremie first took the microphone, he began the song...
"Memories consume,
Like opening a wound,
It's picking me apart again.
You all assume,
I'm safe here in my room,
Unless I try to start again!
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose,
Cause inside I realise I'm the one confused."
Aelita pressed her cheek against his as they sung,
"I don't know what I'm fighting for,
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate,
And say things I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way,
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit...
Breaking the habit...
Tonight!"
They skidded to opposite ends of the stage and Jeremie flicked the microphone to Aelita, she continued...
"Clutching my cure,
I tightly lock the door,
And try to catch my breath again.
It hurts much more,
Than any time before,
I'm losing my strength again.
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose,
Cause inside I realise I'm the one confused."
It was Jeremie's turn to press his cheek against Aelita's to continue singing...
"I don't know what I'm fighting for,
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate,
And say things I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way,
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit...
Breaking the habit...
Tonight!"
Aelita handed the microphone to Jeremie...
"I'LL PAINT IT ON THE WALLS!
CAUSE I'M THE ONE THAT FALLS!
I'LL NEVER FIGHT AGAIN!
AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS!"
Aelita went solo for a little while...
"I don't know what I'm fighting for,
Or why I have to scream.
But now I have some clarity,
To show you what I mean.
I don't know how I got this way,
I know it's not alright."
Jeremie and Aelita sang into the microphone...
"So I'm breaking the habit...
I'm breaking the habit...
I'M BREAKING THE HABIT...
TONIGHT!"
The song came to an end and Jeremie and Aelita did a bow and walked off stage, the crowd went wild!
Later on that evening the winner was announced... "Ok, the 3rd place is given to... Milly with 'Kids in America'!" The young girl squealed in happiness, "Second place was... Theo with 'U Better Fear Me'!" Theo took a bow but inside growled at the couple who were about to win... "And the 1st place goes to... AELITA AND JEREMIE WITH 'BREAKING THE HABIT'! Congratulations!"
