Summer Not to Forget

Without anything else… ch. 6!
Ch. 6
Dear Journal,
Well, this is the first time writing in this. Summer is getting closer and we are so close to stay at school. We just sent out the fake forms today and we will get a reply soon, I hope. Yumi said she would fake a broken leg to stay here. Yumi is a good actor but who knows if her parents will fall for it? We will just have to wait. Aelita found a ring that she claims to be her mother's wedding ring after she disappeared. Personally, I thought she was dead before Aelita was placed in Lyoko. If Aelita says it was her mother's, I'm not going to fight about it. It's her dreams and she can believe what she wants. I just hope her dreams are right.
May 21st 2005
Jeremie sighed and closed the book and put it on his floor. He looked over to the clock. It read 9 o'clock pm. Jeremie got dressed and turned out the lights for bed. He crawled into bed and tried to fall asleep but no sleep would come to him. He just stared at the ceiling as if waiting for something to happen. Nothing happened for the rest of the night.
Morning
"Jeremie?" Aelita knocked on his door gently, "Are you going to come to breakfast or not?"
Jeremie walked up to the door and opened it.
"Sorry, Aelita." Jeremie told her, "I kinda fell asleep late last night."
"Oh, so are you coming to breakfast with us or not?" Aelita asked him.
"Of course, let me get my books and stuff."
After breakfast the gang went to their classes. Everything was going according to plan until the ground began to shake a little. It wasn't much but it was enough to feel it up to your knees. Odd, Jeremie, Ulrich, and Aelita were in the courtyard when it first started.
"What is this?" Aelita asked as she sat down on a bench.
"I don't know." Jeremie said, "We don't normally get earthquakes around here. Do you think there is construction around here?"
"No." Odd said, "They just finished tearing down the old football field across the street a month ago. They might be rebuilding it or something."
"I don't feel too good." Aelita said and grabbed her stomach, "I feel like throwing up or something, but what is it?"
"You go back to your dorm and we will meet you there." Jeremie said, "Maybe this is Xana outside of the super computer."
Aelita's Dorm
"So when did you start feeling this way Aelita?" Yumi asked.
"Right when the mini earthquake started, it was very small so I ignored it for the time, but now it is much worse."
Aelita didn't look to good either. She was pale and seemed to look very sleepy. Now and then she was about to fall off the bed, but Jeremie was able to catch her.
"You think this is Xana?" Ulrich asked.
"Yes." Jeremie said, "I'm sure of it. I mean, Xana hasn't really woken up yet and then suddenly these mini earthquakes start and Aelita feels sick. This must be Xana."
"Well, Jeremie this maybe is not Xana." Odd said, "Maybe these mini earthquake things are just normal and Aelita just happened to get sick around this time. You gotta to think about other possibilities Jeremie!"
"The other problem is how are we going to stop Xana before this gets out of hand?" Yumi asked.
"Well, here's MY theory." Jeremie began, "Now Xana is out of the super computer and free in the real world. He can do what he pleases. There is so much of the world and it must have weakened him when getting an out of the super computer. Now he is getting stronger. As for Aelita feeling sick, she has lived under Xana's control for many years right? She must be able to FEEL when Xana attacks. She may have been freed from his grasp, but her body is used to the feeling of Xana launching an attack. She must be feeling that right now."
"Why didn't she feel this feeling before here at Earth?" Ulrich asked Jeremie.
"Because Xana was still in the super computer." Jeremie explained.
The others just sat there thinking about it for a second. Aelita seemed to understand it. Just after, she felt her stomach take a huge flip flop. She felt like throwing up. She jumped up from her bed and ran to the door and down the hall into the girl's bathroom. Yumi got up and followed her.
"I guess this meeting is over then." Odd said, "Time for dinner, you think Aelita will be there? If not I'll have hers."
"Well, you can have mine anyways, I 'm going to make sure Aelita is okay tonight." Jeremie stood up and walked over to the door.
"You just better keep your hands off of her if you stay with her!" Odd laughed.
"I don't think Jeremie would even have the guts to get into her room later." Ulrich laughed along with him as they both left the room.
"Very funny." Jeremie said.
Jeremie began to walk to his room when he saw Aelita with Yumi walking towards him.
"Is she okay?" Jeremie asked.
"Not really." Yumi said, "Most of the time you feel a little better after throwing up, but she feels the same. I think I'll watch her until the last minute of school."
"No need, I'll watch her. I got some stuff to figure out anyway so I'll just watch her during dinner."
Aelita looked up to Jeremie, "Thank you so much Jeremie." Aelita smiled. She looked very pale and her eyes showed that she'd rather be in bed then be up and about.
"Watch over her okay?" Yumi began to walk away, "Call me if there are any problems. To tell you, this weekend my plan to stay at home this summer is going into affect, got that?"
"Yes, see you tomorrow Yumi." Jeremie waved as she left. Aelita was already walking to her room. She opened her door and walked in before she closed the door she said, "Thank you Jeremie see you in a minute."
Jeremie nodded and walked into his room and got his laptop. He turned off his lights and closed the door. Jeremie walked up to Aelita's door and knocked. Aelita immediately opened the door.
"Hello Jeremie." Aelita said and opened the door for him, "Come in."
Jeremie smiled and walked in. Aelita closed the door and sat on her bed.
"You can use the desk if you want to." Aelita said, "I'll just be resting today. If I still feel bad tomorrow I might miss school, is that okay."
"Fine." Jeremie said quickly and sat down.
Aelita crawled into bed and closed her eyes but didn't fall asleep. She just kept on picturing her mother and father when she was young, only 5 or 6 years old. She turned to face the wall so Jeremie wouldn't see the small tears running down her cheek.
Jeremie turned around and saw her lying down. He thought she was asleep so he thought she didn't hear him talking to himself when he was writing in his data journal for Lyoko. Even though they haven't fought him in about a half a month he still keeps all his data he learned form him.
"It seems that when ever Xana attacks in the real world, Aelita gets sick." Jeremie said to himself as Aelita listened, "She has symptoms such as the stomach flu but much worse. I don't know what will happen when his attack gets worse or if it will go away if we stop his attack. I'm not even sure how we will stop Xana. If we mange to get Franz Hopper along with anyone else, that may include Aelita's unknown mother, out of Xana's evil grasp, we can have their help to stop him. Aelita isn't doing so well with the sickness from Xana, so we can only hope that Xana will stop soon. I care so much for Aelita and if Xana manages to destroy her, I swear I and all the others will never live it down. I've never been able to tell anyone how I feel for her, but I think I can this data log… I really do love her. Ever since day one."
Aelita's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what he just said out loud! He really needs to work on staying quieter but this time I don't really mind. Aelita thought to herself as Jeremie began to type silently again. She suddenly felt more food from early coming up to her mouth.
"Excuse me Jeremie." Aelita jumped out of bed and ran for the door, opened it and ran down the hall to the girl's bathroom. She found a stall and threw up. It tasted so bad. Luckily, no one was in the bathroom because they were all at lunch. Aelita flushed the toilet and walked out. When she got back to her room, Jeremie was already leaving.
"Are you okay Aelita?" he asked her.
"Yes." Aelita said and began to walk into her bedroom, "Leaving so soon?"
"Yes. It's getting late and if Jim finds me here, I'll be dead. Hope you feel better Aelita. Call me if you are not going to school tomorrow, okay?" he began to walk away.
"Okay, Jeremie, good night." Aelita walked into her room and closed the door. She walked over to her bed and found the diary Jeremie and her were sharing. She opened to a new page and found a note from Jeremie.
Did you hear everything I just said back there?
To Be Continued
Cliffy sort of thing I guess. I gotta make more cliffies in my stories! Tell me what you think and be nice. I'm trying to update a lot 'cause I'm like not going to be updating for some time because of school.
