Thanks for your reviews.
Chapter 8...
It was 4 days after the last Xana attack when Rea and Kri's computer was broken.
Jeremie and his friends talked to them sometimes, but they were still pretty mad at the two.
It was right after lunch. Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi were all playing soccer, Jeremie was doing something on his laptop on the bleachers, and Kri and Rea were also on the bleachers pretty far away from Jeremie talking.
"I finally fixed our stupid scanner last night." Rea said.
"That's cool, but why didn't you tell me you went to work on it, I could of helped you."
"I checked up on you, but you were asleep, and I didn't want to bother you." Rea answered.
"Did you get any farther on the computer problem?" Kri asked.
"No, I can't figure out how to fix it, which makes the scanner being fixed useless." Rea said annoyed at the stupid piece of machinery.
"That stinks, we can't go to Lyoko without it." Kri said.
"We don't really have any reason to go anymore, why do we even bother." Rea said.
"Because it's fun, Lyoko gives us a purpose, unlike school,"
"School gives people purpose, Brother, your just mad because you have to take Math tutoring." Rea said smiling.
"That reminds me, I have to go, see you later, Rea." Kri said standing up and leaving.
"See you later." Rea said watching him walk away. Then she moved over to the otherside of Jeremie wanting a change of senery, she was a bit more close to him than she was before, but he didn't seem to care.
"I really need help with that stupid computer..." Rea said quietly to herself.
"What's wrong with it?" Jeremie asked not looking up from his laptop.
Rea was surprized that he was talking to her.
"I don't know,"
"We don't have school this afternoon, I could go help you with it if you want me to." Jeremie offered closing his laptop.
"Why do you want to help us, Jeremie?" Rea asked not looking at him.
"Because I know that whatever you were looking for in sector 5 must of been very important." Jeremie said.
"Well, let's go then." Rea said standing up.
After they started walking to Rea and Kri's house, they started talking.
"Why do you say that?" Rea asked.
"Say what?"
"That you know that what I was looking for was important."
"I saw on the computer screen that you didn't just lose lifepoints when you were hit, you could actually feel the pain, and yet, your brother kept fighting anyway."
"Well, you are right, my brother went through Hell so I could find that code, and it didn't even change anything." Rea said turning down her driveway.
"What did the code do anyway?" Jeremie asked following her to the door.
"It freed us." Rea said as she unlocked the door and walked inside.
Jeremie looked around the house after he entered. The house looked as if its owners had left along time ago but left all of their things behind. There was dust everywhere, and he knew that noone had cleaned the house in a very long time. Jeremie sneezed because all of the dust in the air.
"Sorry it's so dusty, Jeremie, it hasn't been cleaned in at least a year. The computer is this way." Rea said as she headed downstairs.
"Why do you and Kri stay at school when you could just stay here?" Jeremie asked following Rea down the stairs.
"Well it's really dusty, and," Rea said joking around.
"I'm just kidding, We haven't stayed in this house for more than 3 days at a time since about9 years ago." Rea said as she reached the last step and turned on the basement light.
Jeremie saw the computer and the scanner in the corner of the room.
"Those are much more simple than the ones that we have at the factory." Jeremie said pointing to the scanner and computer.
"Do you think I could go to the factory sometime, Jeremie?" Rea asked as she noticed a loose screw on the side of the scanner.
"Sure, I guess, if it's ok with the others." Jeremie said as Rea sat down and grabbed a screwdriver.
"I guess I can't then, huh?" Rea said smiling at her and Kri's misfortune.
"When did the computer mess up?" Jeremie asked as he sat down on the computer chair.
"It crashed when the scanner broke, because Kri and I were sent through it at the same time, stupid MegaTank." Rea said as she stood and walked over to Jeremie.
"I think I know how to fix it, but it will probably take a long time." Jeremie said typing.
"I knew you would figure out what was wrong with it as soon as you sit down." Rea said half grumbling.
"Since I am fixing it, can I ask you a question?" Jeremie asked Rea.
"Go ahead." Rea said sitting down on the old recliner close to the computer.
"You said that code that you found freed you and Kri, what were you Xana's slaves or something?" Jeremie asked halfway joking.
"Yeah, we were." Rea answered seriously.
"Why were you his slaves, what did you do?" Jeremie asked.
"A long time ago Kri and I's little sister and older twin brothers were in an accident. Xana came to us and said he could save them, if me and Kri would become his followers, so we did, and he saved them."
"But then, my sister and brothers all died two years later because of some virus or something they got somehow, and it was obvious that Xana did it, but we had to contuinefighting for him anyway."
"But not thinking about we were stuck there, Kri and I kind of enjoyed it, the fighting I mean, not the endangering the entire planet thing. But then we fought Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi for the first time, then the next day we meet you at school, and we knew who you were the entire time, but we had to fight you anyway." Rea said.
"Why couldn't you just stop?" Jeremie asked.
"We tryed to quit at least three times, it never worked."
"Then you guys start to be my friends, but then you found out about Kri and I, and got really mad at us."
"So Kri got the idea to go to Sector 5 and find something to free us, and we finally did,"
"That's what the code was for." Jeremie said, even though she had already told him along time before.
"Yeah, we thought that if we didn't fight you guys anymore, maybe you would forgive us, and be our friends again. I guess that was a pretty stupid thought huh, it didn't work." Rea said smiling at her last statement.
"I'm almost done." Jeremie said still working on the computer.
"Thank you again, Jeremie." Rea said.
"It's no problem, Rea." Jeremie said.
"Finished, It should work now." Jeremie said turning in his chair.
"Ok, Do you want to back to school now." Rea asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Jeremie said standing up.
"I think it's supper time, we'd better hurry, before the cafitiria closes." Rea said going up the basement stairs.
Neither of the two talked untill they were in school grounds.
"Jeremie," Rea said breaking the silence.
"Yeah," Jeremie said.
"Hurry up and materailize Aelita, she's really nice, she was the only one that was still nice to me after you guys found out about Kri and I, I would enjoy having her here."
"I will."
"If you ever need any help, Kri and I will always be there for you." Rea said walking away.
A nice informational chapter, I blame the faulty school system. Oh well, the next chapter will hopefully be better.
