Ch. 2

Aelita's P.O.V.

So warm, if it wasn't for Jeremie, I wouldn't be this happy. Thank you Lord for letting me live this day and all the days ahead of me.

Swing choir is coming up. It feels like I'll finally be known as a regular kind of person. Never that weird, pink haired, smart girl who never spoke of her past. Maybe people won't really think of me that way, but it isn't bad if they think that way, is it?

Jeremie told me just to be myself and not someone you're not. I'm being myself aren't I? I love dancing as well as singing, so I'm not just signing up to be normal am I? I want to be myself and most of the time I am. I should just stop worrying.

Something always holds me back though. Like I need to be normal to move on. Why do I think this? I got friends who understand me. A few people in my classes don't think I'm weird, they just think I'm too smart for my age. The pink hair is a just a little strange, but what is wrong with that? Pink is a pretty color, so why should I worry? It's the color of my mother's hair and I should be happy. Soon I'll sound like Sissi trying to look her best in front of the cute boys. I shouldn't worry. I'm here on Earth, with my family who loves me, so I should be happy.

Normal P.O.V

Aelita surfaced from the bath tube. She loved just being by herself sometimes. She didn't want to get out of the warm water, since it was early winter, but she had no choice. Aelita grabbed a towel placed on the floor and walked out of the tube. She dried herself off and wrapped the towel around her body. She shivered, it was still cold. Aelita waited until she was dry enough to put on her pajamas. She slipped them on and wrapped a warm, pink robe to keep her warm and placed slippers on her bare feet. After brushing out her short, pink hair, Aelita walked out of the bathroom and into her room. She loved her room. It was originally a guest room, but ever since Aelita moved in as a family member it has been hers. It was a light pink color, with one bed, a dresser, a vanity, and a computer desk. She had a small closet and a window looking out to forest. The moon was already out.

Aelita grabbed a slip of paper on her desk and moved downstairs. The rest of the family was in there. Her mom was reading a novel, which she never got to and her father was working on something on the computer.

"Um, Mom?" Aelita said sitting down next to her, "There is this swing choir at school and I was wondering if could-"

"Join it?" her mother finished for her. She looked up from her book, "Why do you want to join, Aelita?"

"Well, you know I love to dance as well as sing and this is both put together." Aelita said. Was her mom even going to let her join?

"Well, if you know you are going to really work hard at it." Her mom said smiling, "Then we will let you join."

"Oh! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!" Aelita hugged her mom and handing her the slip, "I promise I will."

Aelita kept on thanking her mom as she filled out the form. For the rest of the night Aelita spent time with her family.

Back at Kadic in Ulrich and Odd's Room…

"Well this is it." Ulrich said with a sigh. Odd had left to take a shower leaving Ulrich to do his homework. He took out the blue slip of paper for swing choir. He wasn't sure about doing this.

Ulrich's P.O.V.

God, why am I doing this? My dad will totally blow the top if I do this. My mom would be happy for me, but my dad would be a whole different story. He never had a good dad to look up to. My dad always looked for the best and if you didn't show that to him he would think less of you. Grandpa died before I was even born. My dad wanted to show him his best as an adult. When Grandpa died, my dad was devastated, he never got to show his best, yet he always loved his father no matter how much he got yelled at or got the cold shoulder. My dad turned into my Grandfather. He wants to see my best and thinks he will only see it in soccer. I always was good with my feet making me a good dancer. Singing is okay to me unlike many other boys who hate it. I think I can do it, but that thought of my dad is holding me back.

I want to tell someone, if I tell Jeremie or Odd I might get something stupid. They'd just laugh, thinking of me in swing choir and not thinking about the problem I'm having. Yumi might be surprised and still laugh but be nicer and tell me something, but Aelita would be totally different. She was never the one who laughed at you if you had a problem you had to solve. She might help me, but I don't know. What if she tells? Maybe it would be easier if I just don't do the thing, but I still want too. I can't let my father control my life. I don't want to do that to my kids, if I ever even have any, to be like me' thinking if I would be proud if they did this. I need help.

Normal P.O.V.

Ulrich gripped his pencil. He wasn't sure about this, but yet his pencil started filling it out. He filled out the whole sheet and took a good look at it. He filled it out and he is going to turn it in.

"Hey! What are ya doing?" Odd said hovering over Ulrich, which Ulrich hated.

"Dammit, Odd! Don't do that!" Ulrich said as he quickly covered the blue slip with homework papers.

"Watch the language, Ulrich." Odd said walking over to his bed and throwing his cloths on the floor, "I didn't do anything."

"Yeah, Yeah." Ulrich carefully organizing his papers, making sure his paper didn't fall out.

"Well then cranky, good night to you too." Odd said as he covered his body with blankets, while Ulrich did the same.

In bed Ulrich kept on thinking about Aelita, not in the way you think, about what she would say if he told her the truth.
