Disclaimer: I own … um … wait it'll come… nope nothing.
A/n I'M SO SLOW! Lol. Thanks to Ari for all the help.
Nicole pulled a small book from the pocket of the folder. Jeremy's face flushed. "uh..t-that's nothing. Can I have that please?" Nicole smirked and held it against her shoulder.
"can I read it?" she asked. Jeremy's face was crimson.
"is that a diary?" Jason laughed.
"it's a journal." Jeremy muttered. Aelita covered her mouth and giggled.
"can I read it?" Nicole asked again.
"no." Jeremy reached for it and Nicole took a step back.
"what's in it?" she asked.
"mission logs, notes, personal thought…" Jeremy started to list.
"back up. What kind of personal thoughts?" Jason asked.
"ok you guys stop teasing him and give him his diary." Aelita said taking Jeremy's side.
"it's a journal!" Jeremy defended.
"Aelita don't you want to see what he wrote about you?" Nicole asked.
"well…" Aelita stared.
"Aelita!" Jeremy grunted.
"oh come on it cant be that bad." she said laughing, and putting her arms around his shoulders.
"fine I need to get back to work." Jeremy muttered going back to his computer.
"tell me if you find anything good." Aelita whispered before following him. The three laughed and plopped down next to the huge stack of folders.
"ok from the beginning or the last entry?" Nicole asked. "last entry." Dylan said. Nicole opened to the last page with writing on it.
March 20, 2006
This is the last entry I will write. The battle is over, the world is safe. Aelita is safe. She's hear to stay. Xana is gone. I have no need for this book anymore. It's a reminder of our past pains. A log of many sleepless nights. This journal will stay in the factory. That's where we found our troubles, and this is where they will all be left. I will not take anything from here, not my notes, not my files, not any equipment. Everything stays. This place should be burned, but we're going to leave it the way we found it. We're leaving parts of ourselves here. Not by choice, I may add. We spent three years here just about, there are a lot of memories here. Yumi walked around the whole factory last night. Smiling and laughing to herself, probably remembering things that happened here. She spent a lot of time on the main level. A lot of things happened there. She almost died a few times. Just don't remind Ulrich of that. Then again he almost died a few time here to. We've all had more than our shares of brushes with death. We spent yesterday night here. It was Odd's idea really. We'll never come here again. Hopefully. The others are still sleeping. As much as I hate it, I have to thank Xana, he's what brought, and kept us together. More than meeting Aelita, not that's not a lot, but we became stronger friends because we had to count on each other. Now, we're done fighting. And I will never miss it. The war is over, we won. Goodbye Xana, and good riddens.
Jeremy
Nicole finished and took a breath. "wow." Dylan whispered. Jeremy was no longer paying any attention to the computer.
"that's…" Jason never finished his sentence. Aelita nodded.
"this place brought everyone a lot of pain and trouble." she said. Jeremy cleared his throat breaking the silence of everyone's thinking.
"we should get back to work." he said. Jason went back to the laptop. Nicole put the journal back the way she found it and help Dylan sort through the paper files. An hour later Aelita's cell phone rang.
"hello?" she looked over to the group.
"cell phone check." she said taking her phone away from her ear.
"off." Nicole said.
"dead." Jason said after her. Dylan shrugged.
"your parents have been trying to call you." Aelita said then put the phone back her ear.
"they're here." she said. "I will. Bye." she hung up.
"that was your dad Nicole, he said if you want to get your stuff to the dorms to night you better hurry up." The three smiled at each other.
"well then I better go pack!" Nicole squealed.
"Jeremy we're borrowing your son." he helped Dylan up.
"we need to help Nikki pack." Dylan said waving to his parents.
"we're going home tonight so tell your dad not to come Nikki." Jeremy said. They nodded and ran to the elevator.
"my dad is so cool." Nicole laughed.
"I wonder what the catch is." Jason said glancing at her.
"probably coming home once in a while." she responded as they started out of the factory.
"ow!" she grabbed her upper arm.
"what happened?" Jason asked.
"something bit me!" Nicole said loudly.
"ok. Ok. Hold still and let me see." he said taking hold of her arm. She moved her hand revealing a small, inch long cut.
"did you bump up against something in the lab?" Dylan asked.
"no." Nicole said wiping the blood off her arm with the bottom of her tank top.
"just clean it out when you get home." Jason said as they started for the Stern house. They walked in the front door to see Yumi and Ulrich arguing over something in the front room.
"hi!" Nicole said getting their attention. Her parents turned to her.
"you can stay at the dorms." Yumi sighed.
"but! You have live between there and here." she said folding her arms.
"kay." Nicole smiled.
"oh Ulrich, Jeremy and Aelita are going home tonight so you don't have to go to the factory." Jason said.
"we have packing to do." Nicole said grabbing the boys and dragging them towards her room.
"you're gonna make them help?" Ulrich asked. "of course! Did you expect me to carry heavy boxes down the stairs?" Nicole yelled from her room. Ulrich shook his head.
"where does she get that from?" Yumi asked. Ulrich kissed her cheek.
"you." he started to walk away as she hit him. Nicole took her duffle bag out from under her bed.
"this should take all of 5 minutes." She laughed.
"will you guys put my desk crap in the boxes in the hall please?" she asked.
"why? Why don't you just take all your books and stuff and leave the rest here?" Dylan offered.
"really you have to live here to." Jason agreed.
"good point. Fine then will someone go get a set of sheets out of the hallway closest?" Jason rolled his eyes.
"I'll get them angel." she sighed. Nicole smirked at him. Dylan stared at her in disbelief.
"I expected you to kill him." he said once Jason had left the room. Nicole laughed as she stared folding some clothes and putting them into the bag.
"yeah maybe later." Dylan shook his head and started to help her fold.
"ow!" Jason yelled from the hallways. He came back into the room with Nicole's sheets in one hand, and the other hand holding his side.
"we have some really mean bugs." He lifted his shirt revealing a cut. Just then they heard Ulrich yell from the kitchen. They glanced at each other and headed down the stairs. Ulrich had a hand on his neck. Yumi was trying to get him to hold still so she could see. On the floor next to his feet was a dragonfly.
"dragonflies don't bite!" Yumi was insisting as she moved his hand.
"I'm telling you, Yumi, it bit me!" Ulrich said finally holding still. Jason and Nicole exchanged knowing glances.
"Mom, Dad." Nicole got her parents attention. She showed them her arm and Jason his side.
"we need to call the others." Dylan said. Jason picked up the dragonfly by the tail. Xana's sign was on its back.
"yes we do." he said. Nicole touched its wing and quickly pulled her hand back putting her finger in her mouth. "sharp wings, that's what the cuts are from." she said walking over to the sink. Yumi hung up the phone.
"come on, We're meeting everyone at the factory." Jason carefully put the dragonfly in an envelope and they left the house. Jeremy and Aelita were at the computer when everyone came down. Jason handed the envelope to Jeremy.
"what? Xana running out of plots?" Odd laughed as Jeremy held up the bug. Ulrich showed him his neck.
"still evil bugs?" Odd asked.
"just go down to the scanners." Jeremy said shaking his head at the blonde. The gang was transferred into Lyoko.
"we have mega tanks and lots of them." Jeremy said into the head set. The older gang were still not over the fact that they were in they're younger forms.
"how many is lots?" Nicole asked.
"12." Jeremy said hesitantly.
"great." Jason sighed.
"Nicole behind you again!" Dylan yelled. Nicole disappeared and the mega tank blew up as a blue beam hit it. Nicole reappeared. "That is so not fair." Jason said shaking his head.
"where's the tower chief?" Odd asked.
"east about a half a mile." Jeremy said checking the holomap.
"and hurry the dragonflies are attacking the city." he added. Odd and Ulrich laughed as they ran.
"that is still funny." Odd said taking out a tank with his laser arrows.
"who's going to the tower Jeremy?" Yumi asked catching her fan. She got hit from behind.
"Either but get there fast." Jeremy said.
"mom you go you don't have a weapon." Dylan said taking out a tank with his saber.
"light disk!" Sam hit a tank and ran to cover Aelita. Nicole got hit in the side by another tank's laser. She was devirtualized.
"Jeremy what happened to Nicole?" Jason asked alarmed.
"she lost all her life points." Jeremy said calmly.
"what!" He asked hitting a tank with an arrow.
"don't worry she's back at the factory." Yumi said throwing her fan. Aelita entered the tower.
"not to rush you hun but I'm watching the news…" Jeremy started as Aelita walked onto the first platform.
"I'm hurrying." she cut him off. Nicole walked into the computer room.
"what happened?" she asked sitting on the arm of Jeremy's chair.
"you lost your life points so you got sent back here." he said.
"is that bad?" she asked. Jeremy entered in a code as Aelita reached the top platform.
"not with this many Lyoko fighters he laughed. Aelita entered the code and time froze. Nicole looked over at the small TV set in the corner of the room. It showed dragonflies inches from people's faces.
"nice timing Aelita." she laughed. "return to the past now." Jeremy entered the last code. Nicole and Dylan were sitting surrounded by papers.
"ah now I gotta repack." Nicole pouted. Jason and Dylan laughed.
"what time is it?" Aelita asked.
"20 after 8." Jeremy said looking at the computer screen.
"yeah, five minutes before Yumi called. You guys should go now." she turned to Jeremy.
"and so should we. You can work more tomorrow." everyone nodded and left the computer lab. Nicole walked into her house with Dylan and Jason to find her parents on the couch watching TV.
"don't want to have your fight again?" Nicole asked walking up the stairs. Yumi and Ulrich turned to each other.
"she gets that from you."
