Electronic Agony

Chapter 3

As the day began for the third time one person who was quite new to this got quite a shock as everything repeated it's self including Jim knocking on his door and getting people up in the rooms nearby "well from everything I was told by the guys all that has happened is the day has restarted and everything will just happen like it did at the beginning of the day" Andy said standing there thinking it over

"did what I just said make sense" he thought

Andy went through what he did that day and copied it except for finding out Jim's name he was extremely bored during the lessons he had already gone through

"it happens when you've gone through the return to the past for the first time" Yumi said during the same lesson that the first time Xana attacked in "but you'll get used to this just act like it's the first time you've heard all this for me it's the third time for you also it's the third time but you don't remember" Yumi added

Andy just smiled and sat up straight instead of almost falling asleep on the table but was still bored it was mostly annoying the fact he knew everything the teacher would say even mouthing the words before the teacher said them but he didn't let the teacher see him do it

When again it came to the end of the day the team sat with its new member and had been explaining everything about Lyoko fighting Xana, Aelita's materialization, finding out about Franz Hopper, Xana's escape from Lyoko even the few battles they had fought with Xana after he'd escaped and how they found out he can heal him self by going back to sector five

"I just have to go do something" Andy said as he headed for his room going to get something

What Andy was going to get for the second time was something very special to him it was a small necklace given to him by his mother it's a green stone with silver twisting around it with two wings either side of it,

it's important to him for a lot of reasons but he forgot it this morning when he got back to the group they had just been discussing what happened before the return to the past trip

"hey Andy what did Xana mean when he said he knew your secret" Jeremy asked

"well that's a long story but I guess since I know yours, you ought to know mine" Andy started

It all started when I was about five, my brother was quite ill and needed help so my parents tried to help they were great with machines not so good with humans so they tried replacing certain parts with mechanical parts it helped him but for only so long he was however able to do something very special he could control machines make them do things, anything, then when he started to go again and I tried to help"

Andy took a short breath then kept going "at that time I knew quite a bit about machinery but not enough not to really help when he knew he was on his last breath he gave me two gifts one was quite helpful the other was not, the thing that was good were these goggles they allow any one to take control of any machine"

"but I put them on I didn't notice anything" Yumi said

"that's because you don't know how to work them" Andy said

"try putting them on again" Andy said taking off his goggles and passing them to Yumi

"no still nothing" Yumi said

"try twisting the eye pieces sought of like adjusting them like getting a camera in focus" Andy said

"I see a strange blue ring around each eye piece"

"look at the vending machine" Andy said "look at your fingers you'll notice a blue spot on each finger hold out your palm and tap your index finger that locks on to the machine then tap your middle finger" "Odd what drink do you want" "lemon" Odd said not knowing exactly what was happening

"Yumi look at your fingers they should each say something press the one that says lemon" Yumi copied what Andy said and watched in amazement as the machine next to them buzzed to life and out dropped the exact drink Odd asked for

"wow that's so cool" Odd said as he got his drink

"how does it work" Jeremy asked

"well it's sort of a wireless control it overrides the system and gives you control it's really easy to work once you've used it as many times as I have"

"isn't that stealing" Ulrich said

"on a very technical level yes it is but after a while you learn to live with it" Andy said

"what do you mean" Aelita asked

"well my parents gave everything even their lives to try and help my brother but nothing after my brother gave me those goggles I had my own way to survive I only took a little but I was telling the truth about moving I did finally end up here and that's when I met you guys" Andy explained with some sadness in his voice

"wait didn't you say that your brother gave you two gifts" Jeremy asked thinking about what Andy had said before

"the second gift was not as fun he injected me with tiny nano bots they gave me the ability to hear and talk to machines it's ok sometimes but not the rest of the time" Andy said stopping slightly

"they just whine you have no idea how much phones whine about being used all the time especially the one Sissi uses when she was talking to me I could hear it complaining it told me that she never stops talking I actually felt sorry for it" Andy finished

Everyone laughed at what Andy said and they were all really amazed Andy had these cool abilities and they could even do things against Xana and the possibilities in Lyoko could be amazing

The rest of the day everyone kept asking Andy what he could do and he showed them he had an amazing skill with the goggles but that was to be expected since he'd been using it for years Jeremy talked to Andy about the ethical side of it Andy explained that he never took too much only what he needed

It began to get dark as everyone returned to school Yumi went off heading for her own house which Andy didn't know when he found out he asked if he could walk her home she said yes, Ulrich grew a little more jealous when Andy asked to walk Yumi home but he made sure no on noticed but Odd did and so did Aelita, Jeremy was still slightly oblivious to the situation

As the four of them walked away Odd and Aelita looked at each other and laughed quietly while Ulrich continued to be extremely jealous even saying things under his breath like "how dare he she's mine" or "who does he think he is"

Andy and Yumi had been slightly quiet as they walked back they both knew they liked each other but weren't really sure what the other one thought but it was also slightly different for Yumi she had Ulrich to think about she liked him too

"hey Andy" Yumi began "are you planning on going from here soon like before"

"no I should really get a proper education so I guess I'll stay here for a while" Andy said looking at the ground instead of Yumi

"why do you ask any way" Andy added quickly

"well you seemed to be able to handle yourself on lyoko and we could always do with more help" Yumi said covering up the fact that she didn't want Andy to leave suddenly

"well then that makes three reasons to stay then" Andy said proudly

"what are the three" Yumi asked as they neared her house

"well there's getting my education which was my first reason to stay here any way"

"then there's helping you guys in lyoko that's the second reason"

"and the third reason" Yumi asked quickly as she walked to her door

"I'd rather not say" Andy said

"fine but you have to tell me some time" Yumi said smiling

"then that's a promise" Andy said as Yumi entered her house

Andy sighed as he turned round and began walking back to Kadic "the reason I'd rather not say is because the third reason…" "is you" Andy's mind was quiet as he went back even when he arrived in his room and his laptop greeted him he stayed quiet all the time thinking about if he had told Yumi the truth that he was in love with her

After Yumi got back and had her dinner most of the rest of the night she spent wondering what the third reason was she knew it must be embarrassing or something personal but Andy had promised to tell her what it was and then she'd know

It didn't take to long for her mind to think about Ulrich again and what she should do Andy was in the same year so them spending time together wouldn't be a problem but her and Ulrich had been friends for a few years

These thoughts continued as she fell asleep and she knew she'd have to decided soon because something made her think that she might soon lose them both

Once again another chapter down and I have a few things to say first does any one think I've gone a bit sci-fi with this also I will show you all Andy's lyoko form soon

And who will Yumi choose I leave it up to you to decided send me a message and I'll count them up who ever has got more votes Yumi will choose if it's a draw I'll ask three people and that will decided it

But before I go I have a quick word from Livinginlyoko's house of gadgets
