Well this Chapter is longer but that's ok. R&R please.
Chapter 2
A Bug?
Science Class with Mrs. Hertz; the bell rings.
Ulrich put his pencil down and said "Wow, that test was pretty easy."
"Yah I know I was done ten minutes after the test started." Jeremie said.
"Well that was pretty easy to fail." Odd said standing.
"Put all your tests on my desk." Mrs. Hertz said pointing to her desk.
As the class puts there tests on the desk Jeremie starts talking to Aelita.
"That test was easy. I knew every answer." Aelita putting her test on the desk.
Jeremie also putting his test on the desk said "Well we have a free period now want to get some ice cream or something."
"Sorry Jeremie but Yumi and I were going to go to the pool. She is going to teach me to swim." Aelita said blushing.
"That's ok. It sounds like fun I'll just hang out with Odd and Ulrich." Jeremie said with a weak smile.
Aelita then said "Ok have a good time."
"You to." Jeremie said with a smile.
Aelita walked to her room to get changed. She stopped and looked back at Jeremie.
He smiled and said "Go on it will be fun."
"Well to be honest I'm a little scared. I'm afraid I might drown." Aelita said hanging her head.
"Don't worry Yumi will be there." Jeremie said trying to comfort her.
Aelita then said "I know but…."
"It's going to be ok." Jeremie interrupting.
"How do you know?" Aelita said wondering.
"Well….." Jeremie said "When I was little I was scared too. But my parents taught me how to swim, and I didn't do well at first. I kept trying and then I loved the water."
"Thanks Jeremie I needed that." Aelita said as she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek "Bye." She walked away
Jeremie stood there frozen when Odd and Ulrich walked by.
"Jeremie? Jeremie?" Ulrich said waving his hand in front of his face.
"What happened to him?" Odd said.
"I don't know. Could it be Xana?" Ulrich said worried.
Jeremie unfroze and said "It's not Xana. Aelita…. Aelita…." he fainted.
Ulrich and Odd caught him before he hit the ground.
"Aelita must have kissed him." Odd said.
Ulrich laughed.
Meanwhile Yumi and Aelita were at the pool. Yumi showed Aelita how to paddle.
"This isn't so hard." Aelita said.
"Once you get used to it you can be in the Olympics." She said sarcastically.
They both laughed.
Yumi stopped laughing then said "Now try to swim from the latter to the line on the wall." It was only about 3 ft.
"Ok." Aelita said then did as she was told very well.
Yumi surprised said "Wow that was good. Are you sure you haven't done this before?"
"I haven't but it feels like I have." Aelita said staring at the wall.
Meanwhile the cats slowly making there way to the school came across a little girl.
"Oh look at the cats." The Little Girl said to no body.
The cats hissed and almost scratched the little girl. She ran screaming.
Ulrich and Odd were in Jeremie's room listening to what Aelita said before she kissed him.
"Oh how sweet." Odd said sarcastically.
"Cool it Odd it's very romantic." Ulrich said.
"It was nice." Jeremie said.
"Why can't Yumi and I have that?" Ulrich said in a whisper to himself.
"What was that?" Odd said.
Ulrich blushing said "What! Oh, nothing!"
"Right." Jeremie said.
Ulrich changing the subject said "Hey I was just thinking why Xana hasn't launched an attack?"
"Maybe she is sleeping." Odd said.
"Doubt it it's probably because she doesn't want us to expect it when it happens." Jeremie said as he walked to his computer "I'll launch a super scan." He starts typing "Hey that's weird!"
"What?" Odd said jumping up.
"The super scan isn't working it's all bugged." Jeremie said typing on his computer.
"Do you think Xana is behind this." Said Ulrich.
"No, it's because I was trying to boost the program but I accidentally made it worse. It will take some time to unbug it. I'll have to call Aelita. She is still at the pool." Jeremie said pulling up Aelita's cell phone number on his computer and calls her.
Aelita heard her cell phone and went over to it she answered it saying "Hello."
"It's me Jeremie." Jeremie said.
"Did Xana launch an attack?" Aelita said surprised.
"I don't know the super scan is all buggy. I need your help." Jeremie said.
"Ok I'll be right there." She said hanging up.
Yumi sighs and said "What's the Xana attack now."
"There isn't one the super scan is full of bugs I need to help Jeremie unbug it." Aelita said drying off.
"Thank God. I'm really getting fed up with all these Xana attacks." Yumi said relieved.
Aelita changes and leaves to go to Jeremie's room.
Meanwhile the cats still haven't made it to the school.
Later that evening in Jeremie's room Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi wait while Aelita and Jeremie unbug the super scan. Ulrich and Odd are playing cards on the floor. Yumi is laying on Jeremie's bed reading.
Ulrich talking to Odd said "Go fish."
"Man I'm losing." Odd said while he takes a card from the pile.
"Maybe we can find the problem later." Aelita said ready to give up.
"Just a couple more minutes." Jeremie said determined to fix it.
"Wait! There's the problem." Aelita said.
"Where?" Jeremie said confused.
"There." She said pointing to the screen.
"Oh I see." He said then started typing.
"You guys got it?" Yumi said closing her book.
"Yep but the program needs to reboot it will take a minute." Aelita said.
Odd putting his cards down on the floor said "Well I'm losing. Let's go eat there serving chicken."
"Sounds good to me." Ulrich said picking up the cards and puts them in a case.
"Well I better be going I can actually not be home late." Yumi said very happy.
They laugh and exit the room completely forgetting about the super scan.
On Jeremie's computer the super scan detects a tower. The screensaver kicks in. The screen is black with nothing on it.
Will Jeremie find out about the activated tower? If so will he find out in time? Well you will just have to find out. I love cliff hangers.
