Chapter 4-Translation

Aelita was back with her friends, laying on her snug bed again. She hugged her plushies, her pink plushie hearts, her purple plushie ponies... different things. "I'm so confused. I don't want to be involved in this; I don't want it to happen again," she told her friends. They all sat on the floor by her bed. "Aelita, how did that happen?" asked Yumi. "After you fainted, you... dissapeared! Flickered and made noises like static, then just vanished! It was so scary!"

"I was scared too," Aelita said.

"Aelita." Jeremie turned to her. "What were the numbers the Schipozoa showed you?"

"437910103, then 22105610, then 44461," Aelita answered. "Why?"

"I can translate the code," Jeremie answered. He opened his laptop and started furiously typing. The others all watched. "Hm... that's... where?" On, no... not that..." he mumbled to himself.

"Jeremie." Odd looked at Jeremie with an eyebrow raised.

"Hm?" asked Jeremie, looking up from the screen. "Do you always talk to yourself? 'Cause it's awfully annoying."

Jeremie frowned. "Look who's talking." He went back to typing, this time without the mumbling. "Almost done... and... awwwww!"

"What?" Yumi questioned. "I have to wait an hour for it to be translated!" Jeremie whined.

"Well, that's OK. We got stuff to do on the last day of school anyway, right?" Yumi said. "Let's go to Beat and have some pizza!"

"The totally awesome, new, and exclusive hangout for teens?" Odd asked.

"Bingo."

"I am SO in!"

A litle while later the group zoomed up to Beat, Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd on skateboards and Aelita and Jeremie on scooters. The whole front of the building was dark purple with stripes of optimistic blue and vibrant yellow. Pictures of pizza, soda, music notes, CD's, bikes, and teenagers dancing were painted along the sides and in between the black metal framed doors and windows.

The five walked in on a floor of tiles with geometric shapes in different colors painted on them. The tables and wooden booths and chairs all around were colorful and so were the walls and murals. Chinese lamps in every color of the rainbow served as lighting, along with white and blue icicle lights along the walls. A techno song blasted out of the speakers overhead.

The counter was mahogany wood, along with the frame around the smartly designed menu. A girl at the counter, looking to be about seventeen years of age, wearing a purple T-shirt and black waitresses' apron, both with a white Beat logo. Her strawberry blonde hair was up in a ponytail under her purple hat.

"Hey, what's up? I'm Stacie," she said with spunk. "Here for food, store, or dance floor?" She pointed to a sign next to her with different pictures advertising the dance floor and the store for Beat's clothing line called Groove, and of course the restaurant of various new and/or popular foods; burgers and hot dogs, a sushi bar (which was in the far corner on the right of the door), Mexican food, and salads, sandwiches, and soups.

"I think we'll do it all!" Odd said. The others agreed. They paid about fifteen dollars on cheese-burgers for everyone and Yumi had some sushi with Ulrich (Ulrich was trying it; Yumi and her family were originally Japanese so of course she wanted some). Then they paid two dollars each to get into the dance floor, but not after they all went into the Groove store and the boys, after having gotten bored fairly quickly and having gotten only a few clothes, watched as the girls went nuts over the different dresses and outfits and shoes. They could see the spending limit being chopped into tiny bits and then being burned and tossed in the garbage before their eyes.

At the dance floor only the coolest music was played; R&B, hip hop, techno and rock. The group busted out dancing whenever they heard the SuperSonics' newest song (AN: This is the song that is the end theme song to the Second Season Code Lyoko episodes; if anybody knows the name of it and told me in a review, that would be great). It wasn't until nine o'clock that they emerged from Beat, tired from dancing and carrying bags of packages full of take-out, leftovers, and new clothes.

"Oh, fudge monkeys!" yelled Odd. "We gotta get to the school, like, yesterday, or the school's probably gonna send out the police for us!"

They hastily hopped on their skateboards, trying to balance on them with the bags in their hands waiting for Jeremie and Aelita to tie their bags on the handles on their scooters and then they all sped off together. They traveled like speeding bullets down the sidewalk. "Race ya!" screamed Odd and he zoomed ahead of them. Ulrich went neck and neck with Odd trying to get ahead.

"What about you guys?" Ulrich yelled while staring ahead with unmoving eyes. Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremie weren't making much of an effort to get ahead like Ulrich was.

"No thanks!" yelled Jeremie. "Same here!" Aelita said. "I don't have to be fast; I don't have a dorm, remember? I live with my parents," Yumi explained.

"If the school doesn't kill ya, your parents SO will!" Odd yelled.

"Omigosh, you're right! I am so stupid!" Yumi yelled and she sped forward too.

They arrived at the school faster than they thought they would. Principal Delmas was at the front gates with Jim, both waiting for them. The gatekeeper stood right on the other side of the closed black, metal gates.

All was silent as the five rode up, slowing down. They looked down guiltily to the ground as Principal Delmas demanded, "I want you to tell me where you were! It's an hour and a half past curfew!"

"Principal, sir, isn't it the last day of school? We were just celebrating," Odd said.

"Where?"

"The new teen hangout, Beat."

"Hm... I suppose I can let you off easy. It is a day to celebrate and besides, it wasn't too terribly late and I can't punish you if there is no more school left in this year. Now go to your dorms and Miss Ishiyama, you head homeward."

The gatekeeper opened the gates and Aelita, Jeremie, Ulrich, and Odd walked in. Yumi yelled, "E-mail the 'thing' to me tonight, OK?" to Jeremie and then went off.

Good thing Principal Delmas didn't qeustion that. He simply walked silent and tall beside them as they walked to their dorms, putting their scooters and skateboards in the Storage room for them on the way.

As each person walked into their dorms the principal said, "Good night. Happy summer." When Aelita got into her dorm, locked the door, and made sure he was gone, she walked right over to her laptop on the desk and messaged to Jeremie.

His face appeared on the screen.

"Wanting the translation?" he asked. "Yes," Aelita answered.

"OK, get ready. It's pretty weird."

Something flashed up on the screen. Black letters over white background. It read: TRANSLATION OF 437910103 2279105610 44461: WHITE NOISE DAY.

"Jeremie, what is White Noise Day?"

"I don't know. I'd have to research it at the factory."

"Did you send it to the others?"

"Yeah, it's been forwarded to them. Anything else?"

Aelita got that dreamy look again. "No."

"OK... g'night."

And they both went to bed.
