What the past taught us
Chapter: 4
"so what happened in there tell me everything" Yumi said to Aelita as they sat in the kitchen with a cup of coffee in their hands
Aelita slowly explained she went through every detail twice as Yumi listened she never interrupted she just listened as thoughts slowly went through her head "well it sounds like there was a lot of emotion in the room that's all" Yumi said taking another sip from her coffee "that's what I told my self but I started to doubt it after a while"
"well then who started the kiss" Yumi said just to be sure she was right
"me but I don't know why"
"mom were gonna go out for a bit ok" a voice said as it entered the kitchen the voice was Kai with Gina and James following behind her "ok but be careful" "we will" said the three as they left closing the door behind them
"I don't want to tell Odd and bring James into this" Aelita said as she watched her son go off
"don't you think Odd will understand"
"I think he will but it's how he'll act towards Jeremy if I do tell him"
"he'll shout at him I bet, they are friends and he'd would be annoyed at him I'm sure"
"stop trying to sugar coat it he'd hit him and he'd be really pissed off with him even if they are friends" Aelita laughed slightly which Yumi noticed and looked at her Aelita didn't look up at her she just stared into her coffee as if some secret message was hidden in it and she was trying to discover it
"are you sure you can't think of any reason you would of kissed him maybe somewhere in your heart you missed him no matter how you acted before"
"never" Aelita shouted banging her mug against the table "he did something horrible and I don't think I can ever fully forgive him"
"calm down Aelita" Yumi said
There was a silence for some time until the kids got back rushed inside then came back through Yumi spotted one of them wielding a laptop "whoa where are you three going with that"
The kids looked at each other trying to think up the best excuse they didn't want to tell them what they were really doing not know that their parents had done it before "well I wanted to do some writing outside and they were going to help me" Gina said
"ok then run along" Yumi said she knew they were lying but she trusted them
"what do you think they are really doing" Aelita said looking at Yumi and smiled "well I'm sure that they'll be ok"
The kids were back on their way to the factory when they arrived it was exactly as they had left it they travelled back to the elevator and plugged in the laptop to the control box Gina began looking for the right code while James and Kai found a football and started to kick it around on the ball the initials O.D.R were written on it in black pen
"I wonder who O.D.R is" James said
"I don't know but I bet they were here before us"
"do you think they could of made these locks on the elevator" Gina said looking up from the laptop
"maybe" both James and Kai said
"they had to be really smart to do this" Gina said turning back to the laptop
Gina kept working trying to find the code while James and Kai found what looked like a bed it was dusty and looked like it hadn't been used for years
"I've got it" Gina shouted from the elevator the other two came running as Gina read out the code ok it's 5925" Kai put it in and the elevator came to life it went down one floor and the three kids were now standing in a large room in the centre was a large computer
Three went up to it Gina sat in the chair and had a look at a note written and left n front of the screen on a piece of paper it read
to any who find this the computer you sit in front of is a gate way to lyoko a virtual world it is now a tranquil place since we destroyed xana but we suggest you do not turn it back on we do not know if xana is fully destroyed or if he was destroyed temporarily "it's signed" said James as he finished reading the note
"who by" Kai asked
"the initials are J.B, U.S, Y.I, O.D.R and A.L/S/H" James said
"hey wait did you say O.D.R wasn't that the initials on the football" Kai questioned
"yea he must of know about this place how long ago was that note written" James asked
Gina took it from his hands and looked over it "from the look of it at least fifteen, twenty years"
"I wonder who this xana person is" Gina asked
"wait a minute" James said removing something from his coat pocket it was a book not a large one it was one you would see people reading on long trips
The title the girls recognised it was code lyoko: the beginning "this book it has stuff about a place called lyoko" James said
"you don't think that the person who wrote the books knew something about this do you" Gina asked
"well lets go and ask her" James said with a smile on his face
"how" Kai questioned
"easy the author is my mom" James said the three headed to the elevator and went up and headed home
At Yumi's house everyone was sitting round the table in the kitchen talking about old times some where talking about collage some about high school others about kadic
"those were fun times" Aelita said
"hey Aelita how much are you making out of those books" Ulrich asked
"well quite a lot enough to send James to a great collage when he's older" Aelita said with a smile
the sound of feet on gravel could be heard they all turned to see the kids quite out of breath "so what brought you back in such a hurry" Odd said
"um mom can we talk to you" James said breathing heavily
"sure…son" Aelita stood up and followed the kids into the lounge
"I wonder what they want" Yumi said all three of them looked at the door then turned back and started talking
In the lunge the kids were sitting across from Aelita and were looking at her funny
"what's this all about" Aelita asked
"well mom we want to know if your books hold a secret meaning" James asked
Aelita's face was in a look of shock she wondered if they knew about lyoko
"what are you talking about"
"this" Kai produced the note from her pocket and gave it to Aelita, Aelita's face once again looked shock she looked at the note the one that they had written a long time ago
"James you know quite well I made up that lyoko place you helped me on the last book remember"
James did remember he had read all of his mom's books he knew more about them than any one and he had written the last three chapters for Aelita's birthday
"I know but it's to coincidental that's why we think that you know more than you are telling" James said with a sad look on his face he would never say things like that to his mom but he didn't like her lying to him either
"ok just wait here for a minute" Aelita stood up walked into the kitchen then came back with the others following behind her each one with a look of shock on their faces they all sat down across from the kids "now I've explained it to them"
"what mom how could you" James said
"because we already knew about it" Ulrich said
"let us explain" Yumi said
The group started to explain everything about lyoko about xana and even Aelita's materialization then about Franz Hopper the hermitage and xana escaping lyoko and how they fought xana outside lyoko
"we have to ask you one question did you turn lyoko back on" Odd asked a look of worry on not just his face but everyone's
"no we only saw the room with the computer and the note then we came here" Gina said
"hey I want to know whose initials are these" Kai asked
"well U.S and Y.I are us two Ulrich Stern and Yumi Ishiyama" Ulrich said
"and O.D.R and A.L/S/H are me and your mom Odd Della Robia and Aelita Lyoko/Stones/Hopper you see when your mother originally came to earth she used the name Aelita Lyoko then at school she was called Aelita Stones and we found out later that she was called Aelita Hopper" Odd explained
"but that leaves one person" Gina said looking at the note again
"well J.B is Jeremy Belopolis" Yumi said
"cool so all of you shared this secret for a long time" Kai said
The kids continued to ask questions long into the night and by the time all the questions had been answered it was time for Aelita, Odd and James to go home when they arrived home Aelita put James to bed and went to bed she got under the covers with Odd and slid close to him
Odd was reading one of Aelita's books about their time in lyoko "these are really good I don't remember everything but these sound exactly like it"
"Odd I need to tell you something"
"what" Odd said putting down the book and looking at Aelita
"I know about Sissi kissing Ulrich"
Odd stared in shock his mouth wide open
