Wow, I can't believe that people are already enjoying my story... I find that amazing, this is my second submitted story, ever... Anyway, I love the reviews. Please keep them coming, and if you wish, submit ideas. I can't guaranty they will make it into my story, because I actually have a set direction with which this is headed, but I will most certainly consider them.
Aelita:
I was lying in a tower thinking to myself about how wonderful the 'real' world was. I really did miss the things that I could only experience in the 'real' world. Here in Lyoko I couldn't breath, and the knowledge of breathing almost made me feel as though I were suffocating. I also missed the feelings: warmth, touch, the wind blowing against me, and so many others. Suddenly I remembered kissing Jeremie, the feeling of my lips against his cheek. I knew that if I were in the real world I would be feeling a flood of emotion right now, but I did know that I was blushing…
Suddenly a 'window', or rather a translucent screen, appeared in front of me. I saw Jeremie appear on the screen. I remembered that I was blushing and I could almost feel it growing across my face. My 'virtual' heart began to race, as did my mind. I knew that Jeremie would ask me why I was blushing.
"Aelita, have you ever known-" he started, but then seeing the redness on my face he stopped and asked. "Are you alright, your face is red."
"Oh, I'm, ah, fine." I lied. "What is it that you were asking?"
"Well, if you are ok…" he said worried. "Have you ever known someone to start remembering what has happened to them before Lyoko takes us back in time?"
"No, never." I told him. "All of their memories are erased and it is if nothing ever happened. You know that."
He paused for a moment thinking. I watched him, thinking how wonderful it would be to be there with him, and how much I wanted to hold his hand. To just be able to touch him, to be able to feel his skin against my hand, I would walk to the ends of Lyoko and back. I began blushing again; I could nearly feel my cheeks turning red.
"Are you sure you are ok? Your cheeks are turning red again." Jeremie asked.
"No, I'm fine…" I said lying again; I didn't know why I felt the need to lie to him. I had openly kissed him when I was on earth with him… "Anyway, why do you ask?"
"Because someone has begun remembering what happened to them." He told me. "They are remembering fragments of all the times that Lyoko took us back in time. The others and I are worried, and we are wondering what might be causing this."
I paused to think for a moment, it wasn't likely that they would just suddenly remember something that hadn't actually happened to them. But there was a possibility, it wasn't likely, but it was still there.
"Jeremie, do you remember when X.A.N.A. created those nanobots and began destroying people's memories?" I asked.
"Well, yeah, Sissi took advantage of his memory loss and… Wait a minute; she had apologized for doing that. I wonder if it's connected. Anyway, what do you think it means?"
"Ulrich began remembering things, right? What if, because his mind was able to get past the damage that X.A.N.A. had done; what if the person you are talking about has as well? It is X.A.N.A. initially who is erasing everyone's memories."
"Well, that is a possibility… She had said it was like a dream when she remembered things…" He told me. "Wait a minute, what the heck is this?"
As he said that another window popped up. Inside the window appeared a symbol. First a circle appeared; then inside the circle an 'S' was drawn. As the 'S' was being drawn an 'N' began to draw itself on the center line of the 'S'. Finally just as I was beginning to think that it was done a 'T' like symbol appeared on the right curve of the 'S'. I was wondering what it meant, it appeared to be making up letters, the 'S' and the 'N' of course, but the way the 'T' was placed it made the top curve look almost as if it were a 'G'.
I didn't have long to wonder what it meant because text suddenly began to appear under it, 'GASAN'. As soon as that appeared hundreds of other windows appeared with computer code in them. It appeared that someone was hacking into Lyoko…
"Jeremie, we have a problem." I said, but he didn't respond. "Jeremie?"
I looked back to the window that he had been in. It was gone, Jeremie was gone. I opened a window of my own to see what was happening, but the window that I opened wouldn't respond. I was locked out of the Lyoko system. It was impossible but I was locked out.
Suddenly in front of me the graphics of Lyoko began to tear. What looked like a black hole appeared, except it was not a sphere, it was a cylinder. It was about my height and approximately three feet from end to end. As I watched wondering what the thing was it suddenly changed and I saw the school on earth appear in it. I was mystified, this surely wasn't the work of X.A.N.A. but if not him, then who?
Suddenly, just as all the things had appeared, they disappeared and the window that Jeremie was in reappeared. I walked back to the window and sat down. I was confused, but perhaps Jeremie might be able to explain what had just happened; I certainly knew that I couldn't.
"Aelita, did something just happen in Lyoko?" Jeremie asked. "I just got this really strange message on my computer, first this symbol comes up, and then I get an error message saying that I can't connect to Lyoko."
"I think someone just hacked into Lyoko." I told him. "But I don't know who or what, I can only hope that what ever it was doesn't work with X.A.N.A. or doesn't become worse than him."
"I agree with that, one X.A.N.A. is bad enough." He said. "Anyway, what do you say we start working on an antivirus?"
"Sure, I would love to." I said.
I opened a window and we got to work on the antivirus. I was glad to do something normal after what had just happened. I was also glad to work with Jeremie. There wasn't anything I wanted more in the world then to be with Jeremie. Even if I were stuck in Lyoko, as long as I could see Jeremie I would be happy.
I wonder if I am being too bold... Nah... I'll keep it the way it is, and I'll keep it coming. more to come today. It's not like I have anything better to do... and that really isn't a joke, I like writeing and left all my games esleware anyway...
