The Long Road Back

So she was a "horse whisperer" and never knew it. Was it a plan of Xana? This was good not bad though. Or was it? It had to be good, it was helping wasn't it? Aelita wasn't really born was she? It was totally computer made. It had to be some mistake. The horse was most likely being treated badly by them and thought she was not like the others. Or was she really a horse whisperer. Maybe somehow a program got thrown into her and left her like this. It was hard not believing it. After awhile she had the feeling like she wanted to get the phone and call. Hearing how she could really help and get free lessons. Aelita never was in any sports except track and field because of her good running and she was going to be trying out for poms. Another sport like that would be wonderful and the others would be proud. Odd had wrestling, Ulrich had soccer, Yumi had girl's basketball and Jeremie was busy with other school activities. She could do it without having to worry about money. The only thing she needed to buy was the clothing which she could get easily but just walking the neighbor's dog like she always did.

Aelita was lying down on her bed. Tomorrow was school and her homework was left un done on her desk. She would have to finish it later. Yumi was going to come back tonight. It was close to 7 o'clock and she had to eat something. She got up slowly and went downstairs. It was dark. She found the light switch and flipped it. There was a letter for Aelita lying by the fridge from Yumi's mother. It was telling her what to eat for each night. It said 'love' at the end of the note. It made Aelita feel a little better. It showed her that she was really loved. It was true. Yumi's parents loved Aelita as a daughter but Yumi and Aelita where afraid what they would say if they found out the truth about Aelita and Xana. It happened to Yumi when she was younger.

She had found a dog when she was playing at the park. The only problem was that the dog had been a stray and had gotten into a lot of trouble around the area where she had lived. Yumi took the dog home and told her parents that it was just a dog left alone. Her parents never knew what the dog that was causing all trouble looked like and so believed Yumi. After awhile their so called good dog was starting to cause more trouble. They took the dog to the vet thinking it was just a bite of some bug. They vet had told them that this was the dog that was causing all the trouble. Yumi parents were angry with Yumi and sent the dog to the pound. That had never had happened again.

Yumi was afraid that it would happen once more with Aelita. Yumi said it would be hard now because they had kept it a long secret. If they told right away they might have thought. Not saying that her were cold or anything but it would be hard. They would have their little talk about not getting everything that you want. They would say sorry and leave Yumi to think about what they had said and ya da, ya da, ya da.

Aelita was scared of that day. They would most likely want to know where she would go when school was over for the summer. The gang kept on saying that they would take Aelita with them on their summer vacations. Odd was going to Florida by the beach. HE said if she had a chance to meet his parents they would fall in love with her. Ulrich was just staying home but his family was visiting him. He when his parents came for the last game of the school year they can get to know her more so they would soon think it was okay to bring her along. Ulrich said he always had his old friends over and his parents never worried about it. Yumi was going to Japan to see family. She kept on saying she would wait for the right moment to ask them to bring her along. Jeremie was going home and his family would just figure out something when he got home. They have a wonderful wide open place to have parties and such. He lived right by a beach. His parents would sure love her as well. Aelita was flattered from all of this but it felt like it wouldn't last very long. There was going to be more summers in her lifetime and she couldn't count on her friends to take care of her. She told them that but they didn't care. They said they owed her for saving their lives in times that they couldn't control. She smiled. She owed them even more.
