Chapter 3: Christmas and Virtualization!

It has been 3 months since I came to Kadic. I became really really good friends with the gang. Right now it is December 22 and it's gettin close to Christmas time! I woke up at around 8:00 and woke up immediatley. (sorry if I spelled that wrong) I took a shower, and did everything else I needed to. Then I went to class with Odd and Ulrich. Odd was wearing a santa hat today. "nice hat Odd" I said in a joking voice. "thanks" Odd said not knowing I was being sarcastic. Then we got to class. The room was decorated with lots of Christmas things.

Well class was over, and I was walking with the gang. "Ian, what is this Christmas everybody is talking bout?" Aelita asked me. "well it was when god was born, but today we celebrat Christmas by getting friends presents, and spreading love and joy" I said. "oh, thank you" Aelita said. "So um Ulrich, since this is my first christmas here, does the school do like anything special?" I asked. "ya, actually on Christmas eve.. the whole school gets together for a christmas dance" Ulrich said. "that sounds sweet!" I said. "alright well im gonna study for the test tommorow, anyone wanna join me?" I said. "I will" Aelita said. "alright well you two don't stay up to late" Odd said laughing and walking away with the Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremie.

Well I stayed up with Aelita studying for about 2 hours. "ughh, I can't believe we have a test 3 days before christmas" I said. "well still we need to figure out what we have to do" Aelita said. "ya I know" I said. "um, Ian did you get puestion 4?" Aelita said. So I walked over and looked over shoulder into the book. But then I noticed I put a missletoe in my room... and Aelita and I were under it... "Ian what is this plant that is hanging over our heads?" Aelita asked. Just then I blushed, thinking if I told her I would be focing her to kiss me, but I didn't want to do that to her. "um..." I said. "it's a uhhhh..." "well actually I don't know what it is" I said sighing in relief. "okay" Aelita said. Then I helped her with the homework and we studied for about another 2 hours. Then she fell asleep on the floor and I fell asleep in my bed. Then I woke up, tired but ready to take the test.

I took the test. "4x divided by 5 times 14" That was only one problem. But then I finished it. "thank god!" "we get off for the next 5 days!" I said in relief. As the gang and I were walking, it seemed reapeted... again Aelita and I were under a missletoe. "wait.." I said looking up. "Sissi! get down from there you jerk!" I said as I saw she was holding up the missletoe. So she jumped down giggling. "so why didn't you kiss her? Huh Ian?" Sissi said. "wait what?" Aelita said. Then I backed up... "well it's that I... it's that I... I didn't want to get hurt again!" I said with tears now in my eyes and then I ran off. "wait!" Odd said as he started to walk were I was heading, but then Jeremie put an arm blocking Odd's way. "no stop i'll go" Jeremie said. "wait Jeremie, do you even know where he is going?" Yumi said. "he's going to the factory" Jeremie said. "that's where he always hangs out when he's down" Jeremie said. So Jeremie ran to where the factory was in the woods. "I think we should all go, you too Aelita," Ulrich said. So they ran to were Jeremie was.

I was in the factory in the room where the super computer was. I had tears flowing down my cheeks and I had my face buried in my knees. "Ian?" Jeremie said. Then I turned and looked and and wiped my tear-stained face. "oh hey Jeremie" I said with new tears forming. "what was up with that back there?" Jeremie asked sitting down next to me. "it's...nothing" I said. "that sure wasn't nothin' back there" Jeremie said. "alright it all began when I was about 12 years old... there was this girl, and I really liked her, and she liked me too..." I said. "so then what's the problem?" Jeremie asked me. "well everything was amazing, she felt like the perfect girl and that I was gonna be with her forever... but then one day she told me her friends made a bet that she had to like me" I said. "I felt so crushed, I thought I was gonna kill myself..." I said again. "that sounds bad" Jeremie said. Then I saw Yumi, Aelita, Ulrich, and Odd all looking at me. "listen we all talked about and I've been working on it for months, we were gonna save this for Christmas, but since you so down no, we thought we would give it to you now" Jeremie said. So I got up to my feet and said "what is it?" "were gonna virtualize so you can help us fight Xana" Jeremie said. "rea...really!" I said. "yup just follow Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and Aelita. they will show you the scanner room" Jeremie said getting in his computer chair. So I followed them into the scanner room. "alright now that we are here all you have to do is get into that scanner over there" Odd said pointing to a scanner.

So I stepped in and waited. "scanner Ulrich! Scanner Odd! Scanner Yumi! Scanner Aelita! Scanner Ian!" "virtualization!" Then I felt a giant blast of wind hit my face. Then I was in a mountain region. "whoa!" I said looking at myself. I still had my fingerless gloves, my camo pants became white and looked like they were attached to my legs, and I had a arrow holster on my back and had a wicked awesome looking bow in my hand. "im an archer!" "sweet!" I said.
