When they awoke the next morning, it was Saturday. Yumi got out of bed and woke Aelita up.
"Good morning, and how did you sleep?" Yumi greeted her friend.
"Just fine and yourself?" Aelita asked.
"I slept like a baby." she stated. Aelita laughed as she got ready. When they were both done they stepped out into the hall.
"Let's see if the boys are awake." Aelita said, heading towards Jeremy's room. Yumi followed her. Aelita put her ear up to Jeremy's door.
"I hear snoring, he's still asleep." Aelita said. They slowly walked over to Odd and Ulrich's room.
"I can hear Odd's snoring from outside the door." Yumi said.
"Yea, try sleeping to it." Ulrich said from behind them. They turned around to see Ulrich had just come from the showers. He was fully dressed, but his hair was wet, and he had a towel around his neck.
"Let me just put my stuff away, and we can all head towards breakfast." Ulrich said. Yumi and Aelita waited outside the door for him.
"What's that noise? It sounds like an earthquake." Stan asked stepping out from the room right next door.
"That would be Odd, he snores." Aelita said.
"I never would of guessed." Stan said smiling. He walked out of the room carrying two dark bottles.
"What are those?" Yumi asked.
"These, uh, you see…. these are a gift…. yea.. gifts I got…. my mom. She doesn't like perfume that smells so I got her these two. Hey Aelita will you smell them for me? Just to make sure they have no scent." Stan asked.
"Sure why not." Aelita answered, walking over there. Stan held up the first bottle for her to smell. With Aelita's back towards Yumi only Stan watched as the mixture fell on her face and dissolved into her skin. Aelita coughed a little.
"I don't smell anything."
"Great hey rub this on your hands, it's lotion." Stan said.
"Are you sure your mom won't mind?" Aelita asked.
"Oh my mom insisted that I get you to put it on." he replied, not really thinking. Aelita looked at him funny. Stan then realized what he said.
"I told her about all my new friends including you two. She said before I bring the two back they have to be tested. She said to have my new friends Aelita or Yumi do it." Stan said, fixing his error. Aelita smiled and rubbed it on her hands. It instantly dissolved into her skin.
"Great thanks. Well I have to go see you guys later." Stan said running back in his room. Aelita got dizzy for a moment and put her hand on the wall to brace herself. The feeling passed quickly though.
"Are you alright?" Yumi asked.
"Yea I'm fine, I just got dizzy. I probably just need to eat." She said.
"Great then let's go." Ulrich said, stepping out of his room.
………………………………
At breakfast Aelita and Yumi didn't eat much.
"Aren't you two hungry?" Ulrich asked.
"All of the sudden I'm not really hungry." Yumi said, as Aelita nodded in agreement. Ulrich laughed.
"Don't worry soon you'll get used to the food here." He said, taking another bite of his breakfast. Yumi and Aelita sipped on some orange juice while Ulrich ate.
"Hi you guys," Stan said, sitting down next to Aelita.
"Hi, how do you like the food? Yumi and Aelita can't bring themselves to eat it." Ulrich said. Stan just laughed as he put his first bite on his fork.
"We'll have to see." Stan replied as he put the first bite in his mouth. Ulrich, Yumi, and Aelita all watched his face as he swallowed. "Interestingly enough, not half bad." He said taking another bite. Yumi and Aelita stuck out their tongues while Ulrich laughed.
"Keep laughing fools, Aelita only needs two more samples, while Yumi only needs one. Master X.A.N.A has already given me Yumi's last dose. The three of them are in my bag. I must not confuse them though. My master said Yumi's was "specially made." Stan thought, while laughing with the others.
"Hey guys are you eating with out me?" Odd asked as he walked in. The others turned to greet Odd while Stan poured one of the bottles into Aelita's orange juice. When they turned back around Stan was already forking more food in his mouth. Odd got his food then joined them. Stan watched as Aelita drank her orange juice. As she drank the darkness seemed to jump down her throat. Aelita coughed for a moment then finished off her orange juice. Stan smiled as he returned back to his food.
"Now they are equal. One more dose for each of them and I become rewarded by master X.A.N.A. He promised the pink-haired girl to be mine. After all the doses master said it would make them…." Stan thought only to be interrupted.
"What?" Stan asked.
"I said, what are you doing today?" Odd asked.
"I have to go meet someone, then I'm free." Stan replied standing up.
"Alright, do you want to hang out after lunch?" Ulrich asked.
"Sure," Stan replied, thrilled. "Your only making it easier for me." He thought. "Well I'll see you guys later, I'm late." He said leaving the cafeteria. He opened the doors right as Jeremy walked in. Stan kept walking until he was at the soda machines. He put some money in, grabbed a soda, and walked back up to his room. Stan knocked on his door twice then unlocked it. Stepping in, Stan immediately locked the door back up, then dropped to his knees in a bow.
"Master, one dose left for each of them. Then it is complete." Stan said.
"Good, good soon we will have our reward." X.A.N.A said, stepping out of the shadows. "Show me Yumi's bottle. Show me you have not accidentally given it to Aelita." he said. Stan pulled out Yumi's bottle and gave it to X.A.N.A.
"I have decided not to take any chances. I am strengthening the dose from triple its strength to ten times its normal state. There shall be no mistakes." X.A.N.A said laughing.
"Why don't we give Aelita's dose a spruce up?" Stan asked.
"Yumi is the one who always fights me, Aelita always runs and hides. Aelita does not need it. If she snaps out of my power, you'll just give her another dose. I will double it if she needs it. To much might harm her." he replied.
"What about Yumi?" Stan asked.
"Harm her as in fully control. You wanted Aelita still as herself, why I want Yumi as a mindless-cloned servant of my will. I want her to worship, love, live, and breathe the ground I walk on. She will forever love me, she will be exactly who I want her to be." X.A.N.A said, laughing. Stan joined in as the day continued on. .
