What the past taught us
Chapter: 3
Aelita was still awake Odd had fallen asleep it was about two in the morning and Aelita's brain was still trying to process what had happened with Jeremy she ran over it in her mind could it just of been the fact that there was a lot of emotion in the room "no that couldn't of been it" Aelita thought "then what should I do just talk to Yumi about it I bet she'll know I mean a lot has happened with Ulrich but nothing like this"
"oh Odd if only I could tell but I don't want anything to happen that might upset our relationship and our friendship with the others"
"Ulrich what do you mean Sissi kissed you" Aelita heard a voice say she turned it had been Odd who had said it the look on her face was a mixture of confusion and shock "well you better not tell Yumi or she'll rip Sissi to pieces" Odd then laughed obviously making a joke in his dream
Aelita thought about this very hard she had kissed Jeremy and Sissi kissed Ulrich and they had both just stepped back into each others lives what if "no that's silly they wouldn't be trying to do that would they" Aelita said she could see the ear plugs in Odd's ears she knew he had them in every time but she kept her voice quiet so she wouldn't wake Odd
The same thought entered Aelita's mind a few times but she dismissed it as madness Aelita finally got to sleep but she couldn't help but think that maybe Sissi and Jeremy had an ulterior motive maybe they were deliberately trying to break her and Odd up and Yumi and Ulrich this thought scared her
As the sun hit the guest bed room where James had fallen asleep the previous night he awoke a little unfamiliar to his surroundings "this isn't my room" he said looking round the door to his right opened and in came the girls Kai and Gina "hey sleepy" Kai said as she sat on the end of the bed
"hey can you explain why I'm here and not at mine" James asked still a little sleepy
"well after the party you came in here and fell asleep your mom asked if it would be alright for you to sleep over and that she'd pick you up later" Gina said she was now sitting on a chair for some reason legs crossed
"but first you said you'd show us how to work itunes so come one" Kai grabbed James by the sleeve and dragged him down stairs where the computer was on James sat in the chair and told them he'd have to install itunes first so they would have to wait
Yumi was just waking up she rolled over to Ulrich who was almost off the side of the bed "I think the girls are up" she said to which Ulrich gave a very well thought of response that was "uh hu" or ok in sound terms
Yumi began to roll back over to her side of the bed when she suddenly dropped off the side and hit the floor causing Ulrich to wake up "what happened Yumi"
"I rolled off the bed some how" Yumi said as she stood up "well I better get up any why Aelita is coming over later"
She went for a shower as Ulrich got up he yawned and picked up a book on the bed side table he was waiting for Yumi to come out of the shower but something was troubling him it was the same thing that had been troubling Aelita the other night he thought about what Sissi did what the hell could she be thinking she was married to Jeremy that phrase that she used "I guess I never got over my crush on you"
What crush when they were teens the crush was defiantly there but still only her Ulrich liked Yumi even when they were in collage and Yumi liked Ulrich but Sissi was a problem even in collage she would always make passes at Ulrich and try to get him on his own but Ulrich always realised before she got the chance
There was some hatred between Sissi and Yumi Sissi would say that Ulrich only liked her and that he would go out with her in a second if Yumi hadn't cast a spell over him to which Yumi usually then got her back by playing some pranks on her with the help of Ulrich and Odd but after she started seeing other people Sissi stopped pestering Ulrich and became friends with Yumi
Ulrich got up and dressed when Yumi came out he was still thinking about the thing with Sissi he couldn't help it when he told Odd he Odd couldn't believe it but he said she was probably telling the truth since when they were kids it was just that she wanted to be in the group and have one like they did but when the hormones started it was just that
But what would Odd know he wasn't a doctor but he knew what girls think he could probably read minds with his tower like hair he thought maybe he should talk to Sissi about what happened maybe it was nothing just something she had to see if she still liked him but the way she looked at him after he pushed her away it seemed she had been thinking about doing it for some time
He dismissed the thoughts now he was wondering why a loud music had started from down stairs he went down and saw James and the girls sitting by the computer sound blaring James was giving the girls a lesson about how the ipod works "ok do you understand now" James said as Ulrich walked closer to them "hey dad James was showing us how the ipod worked" Kai said as Gina loaded another cd on to the ipod
"did it have to be loud" Ulrich said looking at James with his hands on the speaker volume turning it down from being way up "anyway what can it do" Ulrich said sitting down as James explained for the fourth time what it could do and how it worked
After some time Yumi came down stairs to find all of them doing air guitar to several songs Yumi just laughed and went into the kitchen she got her self some coffee she was gonna need it today she laughed again when she walked into the lounge seeing the boys now in competition with the girls of who could do the coolest air guitar moves
"don't you realise that you'll never beat the girls" Yumi said as the rest of them stared back at her "what you won't" she said again "yea moms right you guys should just give up"
"never" they boys shouted as another song came on and once again battled the girls
Yumi could hear a car pull up out side she went to check if it was Aelita she was right but Odd was also in the car which Yumi didn't understand they walked up to the front door and Yumi opened it and let them in Yumi shouted to Ulrich that Odd and Aelita were here
Only to have James bolt past her and jump towards Aelita who then hugged her "hey what have you been up to" Odd said looking at James
"not much I was showing the girls how the ipod works"
"hey Odd" Ulrich said looking quite tired
"let me guess you two versus the girls in an air guitar match" Odd said then started laughing
"yea I think we won" James said
"oh yea well lets go again shall we" said both of the girls
"ok then" said James rushing off
"well you guys can just hang out me and Aelita have things to talk about" Yumi said with Aelita following behind the boys were a bit confused about what they could be talking about "hey Ulrich you know you have to pay for some of the songs off itunes right" Odd said
"yea but I think that my parents and Yumi's parents are paying for them" Ulrich replied
"Odd do you remember what I told you last night" Ulrich said looking at Odd who nodded his head
"what do you think is going on" Ulrich questioned
"it's strange but I noticed Aelita acted much differently after her and Jeremy had a long chat in the kitchen" Odd said
"uh dad I think we broke the computer" came a very quiet voice behind Ulrich he turned to see Gina looking at the floor and then heard shouts of "work you piece of junk" and "come on please work please" they were coming from Kai
"let me try" said James as the pair kept trying to un freeze the computer
"why don't you let me try" said a voice behind them the kids looked and there was Ulrich "move out of the way" "while I'm fixing this why don't you go and play out side"
"ok is it okay if we go and walk around" Gina said
"sure but tell your mom" Ulrich said
"can I go with dad" James said looking at Odd
"sure but tell your mom also" Odd replied smiling
The three of them ran off to tell their moms and then left as they walked the street they were on they head into town and just a little outside of town they were heading for their secret place an abandoned factory as they entered the cool air inside made it seem like it was much colder
They slid down the ropes in front of them and landed on the lower floor they walked towards the elevator and Gina once again tried to get the elevator working again but no luck who ever locked it didn't want any one to go up or down "no still no luck" Gina said stepping away from the control
"I wonder what is down there" James said
They always wondered what was below the floor what secrets dose it hold "should we try to other door" Kai suggested "well we could give it another shot" James said as the three walked over and tried to pick the lock on the door but inside the lock it was broken "step back" Kai said "lets see if this will work" Kai ran up and placed her foot firmly into the door she struck it as hard as she could but nothing the door just made a small clunk and it was still stuck "there has to be a way around all of these locks some where
"how about we do it together" Gina said they nodded to each other and did the same thing both running and placing their combined weight into the door with one kick the door opened and they all cheered as they entered the room behind the door they found that the roof had collapsed and meant you couldn't go any further than about two feet into the room
"oh that is so unfair" James said with a large look of disappointment "well then lets have another crack at that lock on the elevator" Gina said the rest sat around as Gina tried several combinations on the lock "this is so annoying I must of tried one hundred codes and none of them work "well couldn't you just link up a computer to it and then it could find the code" James said "well lets go and get one then I think my laptop is in my room come on" Gina said with a smile on her face
The three went off to go and get the laptop and would be back very soon
Ok that's it for this chapter also an unknown fact about this story it was originally gonna have xana attacking and Jeremy would have to remember that something like it had happened before and now they would have to find out how they stopped it the first time
But it ended up like this weird isn't it
