"I'm sorry practice went over!" Nicole said walking into the Robbia house with an arm full of DVD's still in her blue practice jersey. It was Saturday evening. Their usual ritual, movie night. This week it was at Jason's house. Dylan and Jason were already in the living room setting up the snacks.
"Sure it did." Dylan laughed.
"cool what movies did you bring?" odd asked joining them.
"horror flick week." Nicole answered setting the pile of movies on the coffee table. She tossed her bag over by the door before crashing on the ground between the two guys. Jason sorted through the movies.
"The Ring? This is old. Lets watch it." he said walking over to the tv. Sam walked into the living room as Jason plopped down next to Nicole on the ground. She sat down on the couch next to Odd.
"what are we watching?" she whispered.
"The Ring." Odd whispered back.
"shh." the kids shhed the adults as the movie started.
Belpois house
"I won't do it!" Aelita yelled stomping her foot.
"Aelita we have to if we don't.." Jeremy tried to reason with her.
"no!" she yelled louder.
"Aelita," Jeremy put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
"I won't." she crossed her arms and looked away.
"Just for a few days, if we don't we could lose him." through her anger, Aelita was trying to hold back tears.
"stupid xana." she muttered.
"we have to." Jeremy repeated.
"why couldn't it have been me." she asked as a few tears escaped her eyes. Jeremy pulled her into a tight embrace.
"because you had your turn." he answered. A second later a news bulletin interrupted the show on tv.
"Everyone in the Kadic area is advised to stay indoors after 3 of the Lunier stables' horses escaped. They've already attacked several people including Mr. Lunier the horses owner. Animal control units have been sent out to catch the horses but so far no luck…" Aelita and Jeremy exchanged glances.
Robbia house
The movie ended just as Nicole's cell phone rang. Sam screamed and buried her face in Odd's chest. Dylan jumped up on the couch, Nicole hid behind Jason, and Odd and Jason covered their faces. It took everyone a few seconds to realize it was Nicole's cell phone. "hello?" she panted.
"oh Mr. Lunier.. Yes. Oh really? I'll be right there. Is Kai lee with you? Alright don't move we're on our way." she hung up and looked around the room.
"Celeste, Stella, and Luna are freaking out. Mr. Lunier tried to calm them down and got thrown. He said Kai lee was helping but he cant find her. We have to go help you guys. You know those horses don't like strangers. I have a feeling this is xana." she said quickly. Dylan and Jason were right behind her as she ran out the door.
"looks like we should call the others." Odd said prying Sam's hands off his shirt. The teens were out of breath by the time the reached the stables. Mr. Lunier was laying on the ground close to the barns. He pointed off towards the street.
"Kai lee was on Luna when she took off." he said. The boys helped him to his feet.
"Where's star?" Nicole asked.
"in the barn. She seems normal." he answered.
"we're gonna go get Kai lee. Are you ok?" Dylan asked. Mr. Lunier nodded. Jason's cell phone rang.
"hello. We're at the stables. Do you need up? Ok we're going after the horses." He hung up.
"our parents are going to the factory. Jeremy did a scan. He thinks the same as you Nick." he said putting the cell in his pocket.
"I'm getting Star." Nicole said running into the barn. Jason and Dylan nodded before heading towards the city.
Factory
"ok everyone down to the scanners." Jeremy said as he localized the tower.
"transfer Yumi, transfer Ulrich, Transfer Sam. Scanner Yumi, scanner Ulrich, scanner Sam. Virtualization." The lyoko warriors landed in the polar region.
"transfer odd, transfer Aelita, scanner odd scanner Aelita. Virtualization." Aelita glanced around with a look of disgust.
"what's the matter princess?" odd asked.
"nothing, Jeremy where's the tower?" Aelita asked.
"South west a half mile. Crabs on their way." Jeremy answered. The gang nodded and headed towards the tower.
"Kai lee!" Dylan yelled. The girl was clinging to Luna as the horse raced down the street.
"She won't slow down!" Kai lee yelled back. The horse whipped around and started running full force at Jason. Nicole reached down and pulled Dylan onto the horse behind her. Jason dodged Luna.
"we're gonna ride up next to Kai lee, grab her ok?" Nicole said as they started racing towards the screaming girl. Dylan nodded.
Lyoko
"hurry up you guys. The kids are not having an easy time with the horses." Jeremy said after hanging up with Jason. Sam had thrown her last Light disk and killed a crab.
"Aelita's at the tower!" she said hiding behind a pile of ice. Aelita reached the first platform of the tower.
"Kai lee give me your hand!" Dylan yelled. The red head was slipping.
"I can't!" she yelled back. Dylan reached over farther.
"come on Kai!" he insisted. She screamed as her hands slipped off the saddle. Dylan jumped from Star. He caught Kai lee and rolled to soften the impact.
Aelita put her hand on the screen and her name registered.
Aelita
Code: Lyoko
A white glow engulfed the frozen city. Kai lee was laying on top of Dylan after the fall. They were both trying to catch their breath.
"idiot." Kai lee panted hitting Dylan lightly before the light overtook them.
Nicole opened her eyes. She was at the stables again.
"great!" she groaned.
a/n I have had a terrible case of writers block. I am very sorry this took so long. I would like to thank Ari, for yelling at me about my spelling, and Victoria for giving me ideas and helping me get over my writers block. You guys rock! Oh and I'll explain in the next chappie why Star wasn't under xana's control. Can anyone guess what Aelita and Jeremy were talking about?
