I don't own Code: Lyoko. I do own brownies! (American-Kitty gobbles them down before anyone else can get some) That's the third time this week! I'll have some more at the end of this chapter! I don't own Aly and A.J. either.

"I can't believe it's over!" Aelita said as she flopped in an airplane chair.

"Well, we'll have a bunch of news from NYC. And gifts." Jeremy said.

"So?" Aelita said as she frowned.

"But what about our friends in France?" Jeremy asked. He was not intending on moving to NYC. But, if that's what made Aelita happy…

"Oh yeah! I forgot about them! I feel so stupid! France, here I come!" Aelita said, as she got perky and smiled.

"That's good." Jeremy secretly sighed in relief. The flight was again long. Aelita looked out the window and bounced a lot of the time. Jeremy watched her and laughed to himself. This laugh slipped out.

"What?" Aelita said playfully as she rose and eyebrow.

"Nothing." Jeremy said.

"What." Aelita said.

"Nothing." Jeremy replied.

"What!" Aelita said as she crossed her arms.

"It's just funny watching you bounce up and down while you look out the window." Jeremy said as he smiled.

"Ok…" Aelita said. She went back to looking out the window again. They arrived a few hours after that.

"Where are they?" Jeremy asked.

"HELLLOOOOOO!" The others said in unison as they tackled the two to the ground.

"Hello everyone…" Jeremy said from the bottom of the pile.

"Need…air…." Aelita whispered from the bottom as well. Everyone got off and exchanged hugs.

"Look what we got for you guys!" Aelita said as she took out a bag.

"A bag!" Odd asked enthusiastically.

"Who gave Odd caffeine?" Jeremy asked.

Nicole raised a hand and said, "Guilty as charged."

"Anyway…I got stuff for you girls and Jeremy got stuff for you boys." Aelita said smiling. Aelita pulled many shopping bags from NYC out of her suitcase.

"AHHHHHHHH!" The girls screamed in unison as Aelita gave them the bags.

"This is for you." Jeremy said as he took out an NYC hotdog.

"OHHHHHHHH!" Odd said as he took a bite of it.

"And this." He said as he gave Odd a ticket.

"This is a ticket for the NYC hotdog stand in France for…HUH! THE REST OF MY LIFE!" Odd said as he jumped, spun in the air, and landed.

"And this is for Ulrich." Jeremy said as a person came with a wrapped item on a roller. Ulrich smirked and pulled the wrapper off. His mouth dropped.

"The…the…Pianist 5000. I've…been…saving…up." Ulrich said as he gazed at the piano. So, they somehow managed to get all of their stuff into the car. They had a little bit of room for themselves. They managed. They dropped Yumi and Nicole off at their house. They grabbed their shopping bags and walked into their house.

"Aelita isn't here." Nicole said as she flopped on her bed.

"I know." Yumi said as she sat down and looked at Aelita's empty bed. Nicole went to the bathroom and by the time she came out, Yumi was asleep. Nicole sat on her bed.

"Aelita's married. Yumi's engaged. I'm just," Nicole said as she narrowed her eyes. "What am I?"

Nicole picked up her guitar and sat on her bed.

"I am moving through the crowd. Trying to find myself. Feeling like a doll up on a shelf. Will someone take you down? And I asked myself, who do I want to be? Do I want to throw away the key and invent a whole new me? And I tell myself, No one. No one, don't want to be, No one, but me. So I'm moving through the crowd." Nicole sang. She wrote it down and put her guitar away.
