Questions

"Jeremie?" Aelita said surprised as he and Odd fell backwards onto the floor.

They had a dumbfound look on them on their first reaction seeing the girl but quickly got up confused.

"May I ask why your not in your bed and in another patients room?" he asked crossing his arms.

"How long where you at that door?" she questioned them keeping her ground.

"Aelita?" Jeremie pressed on, but Terra and Guerrmo wanted to help.

"How about if I ask, how long where you behind that door?" Guerrmo walked up to the girls side looking intimidating.

"I…uh…we were…" Jeremie cowered from the five foot ten inches boy.

"We where looking for our friend and well you guys where already talking so we wanted to be curdious." Odd lied respectfully, "Aelita you should come back with us, I mean you could get light headed again you know?"

"I guess your right, well I'll see you two later okay. Say hi to Kila for me." Aelita waved them as she exited through the door.

"I'm guessing that's Jeremie huh?" Guerrmo asked.

"Yup, it's him alright. But he's quite the nice guy once you get to know him, the only thing to change that is what he heard just now." Terra spoke with hopelessness.

At Aelita's Dorm

The rest of the day Aelita and the others had a unpleasant silence around them. Odd was the one to tell Yumi and Ulrich about what he and Jeremie heard, where their princess went. As promised they were allowed to go home, or more to say the prepatory school and Aelita's room. The school's car drove them there.

They were walking to the main doors when Aelita spoke.

"I'm going to go see if Kila's in and tell her you guys have arrived." She said coldly as went in ahead of them.

"I see she's made quite the home here." Yumi said breaking the silence.

Aelita went up the stairs and turned to her hallway, making it to the door and knocked.

Kila swung the door open and jumped on her.

"Oh I'm so glad your alright!" she said very happily close to suffocating the girl.

"It's good to see you too." Aelita got out.

"So, Terra called me and told me your old pals have arrived." She said inviting her in.

Aelita took a seat on her bed and Kila on hers parallel. Kila was hoping to have at least a laugh or two of memories and the mess yesterday but it seems the mess has yet to unfold.

"I…I have something to tell you. My friends did indeed come here, only after yesterday when I was in the hospital. Well as you can expect I remembered about Nathan and this morning I went to check on him. He's okay and I kind of kissed him and showed a deep affection to him. What I'm getting at is Jeremie and Odd heard and may of seen it." She looked sad and worried.

"Oh my, I'm pretty sure if he did. Your old boyfriend is feeling down in the dumps. But what does he expect, you to be sterile throughout your stay here? Your only human Aelita, your free you have a life. No matter what has happened in the past everyone has a choice, if they really love you they want you to be happy." Kila seemed to take on a different person as she spoke.

"I guess your right…but my past is much different and no one can match it. I'm special in a bad way and they helped me and the world out of it. We have a special bond only matched by what…war buddies?" she said with sarcasm.

"Whatever you history may be, everyone has had trouble or something that could have hurt countless others. Oh man look at me I'm starting to sound like Terra." Kila giggled, "I don't care what I've been through, even if I haven't experienced the worst."

"If you where in my position you would think otherwise." Aelita got up and went to the window, "They should be here very soon, I don't wish to let them see we had this talk."

"Fine by me, what else do you want from me?" Kila fell on her bed.

"They won't be in the best of moods so try not to hit on Odd at this moment okay, I wouldn't do much but make small talk to give them some friendliness." Aelita said and a knock on the door followed short behind.

She went to answer it when Kila had something to say.

"Whatever you guys fought or dealt with I do hope it's worth all this stress your getting." Kila warned her
