Well here I am again, maybe it isn't with an update of Hacked but I've now got a completely new idea. As you probably noticed from the summary. If you were wondering what happened to Hacked, let's just say I ran out of ideas. Oh well. Anyway, I'm :hoping: that this will go rather better, so here's chapter 1.
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko. If I did, I'd be French.
(Normal POV)
It was yet another typical day for five well known teenagers at Kadic. In fact, it was one of the better days. It was a Saturday, so there would be no lessons, the weather was fine, XANA was being quiet, and everyone was happy. Well, that is, everyone apart from two people in one dorm right in the middle of an argument.
"Listen to me Jeremie; you can't just keep on trying to find an antivirus for me without sleeping at all!" Aelita was getting very fed up with Jeremie's actions lately. "All it does is ruin your health. You're not going to make any breakthroughs by sitting hunched over your computer all night."
"I know you think I shouldn't do this Aelita but it is for everyone's benefit. The sooner I find the antivirus the sooner we can shut down XANA." Jeremie responded.
"Yes, but you can't get any work done when you're so tired. If you keep this up you'll never get there in a million years."
"Look, would you rather me find an antivirus and shut down XANA, or you being destroyed as a last resort?"
"I'd rather be destroyed than your tiredness put the world at risk. We all know that!"
"I don't care. There's only one way to destroy XANA and that's to find the antivirus. The longer you keep me waiting, the more "risk" the world is in. Just go away Aelita; I don't want to see you any more."
And with that, the expected action of Aelita running crying from the room took place.
(Aelita's POV)
Ugh, I can't believe that he just said that to me. We used to get on so well, and now that I've been materialized he just spends all his time trying to find an antivirus. Doesn't he know that he is just wearing himself out way too much? If this goes on much more, he'll be ruining his grades as well as his health.
I was currently running away from Jeremie's room and trying to find someone else to talk to. Yumi was at home as it was the weekend, so I just went to Ulrich and Odd's room. I was about to knock on the door when it opened and Ulrich walked out.
"Oh, hi Aelita," he said to me. "I'm just going to go see Yumi, so, bye." He then walked off.
After a few seconds of standing there looking in Ulrich's direction for no reason, I then continued to enter the room – and found a sprawled out Odd lying down, obviously having fallen asleep after being woken up "so early on a Saturday morning" by Ulrich. I shut the door, and sat down on the other bed, looking at him. He looked kind of cute.
After a few minutes, he suddenly jolted upright for no reason. Well, he would have done if it wasn't for the fact that his legs were half off of the bed. So instead of jolting upright, he managed to slide rather painfully all the way off the bed.
"Aelitawhatareyoudoinginmyrooooooooooooom…" he started, obviously tired. He seemed to have a sixth sense that I was in there, causing him to wake up so abruptly. "Where's Ulrich?"
I replied to his silly question. "He said he went to Yumi's. Didn't he tell you?"
"Yea, and he went and woke me up from the best dream ever. So… why are you in here, anyway?"
"Oh, I had an argument with Jeremie, and needed someone else to talk to for a change." The smile that was on my face for the last few minutes faded as I recalled the events of earlier.
"Really? What happened? I thought you two were in love or something," he said with a grin.
"Well… It was about his stupid antivirus and how he never does anything other than it anymore. He won't even sleep. And… I'm not so sure about the love thing, either."
"Aww, come on, we all know about you t-"
"I know what you're saying, Odd, and I used to actually… feel like that. But now I don't."
"Hey you're not about to say you're in love with someone else now, are you?"
"I- I don't know Odd. I just don't know at all."
"Fair enough, come back when you do know because you're looking at the master of relationships right now."
"Really, and that's coming from someone who's never managed to go out with any girl for longer than a week?" I laughed, regaining my happiness. We carried on talking for awhile. I strangely felt a lot happier now than any time I'd been with Jeremie in the past. I wonder if that has any relevance here.
Our conversation was then interrupted by a knock on the door and the familiar voice of Jim. "Hey, Ulrich, Odd, you're wanted down in the infirmary. Something seems to have happened to Jeremie."
Odd got up and opened the door. "Jim, Ulrich went to Yumi's house today. Didn't anyone tell you?"
"Hmm, interesting. Anyway, let's go. Follow me." I followed Odd and Jim to the infirmary, wondering just what could have happened to Jeremie. Maybe it was because of his lack of sleep.
Yep, you guessed it, cliffie. I'm currently debating on whether to:
a) put some Ulrich/Yumi stuff in the next chapter
b) carry on this side of the story in the next chapter.
That influence button, AKA "Submit Review" is waiting for you to click it, so get a move on. :P
And yes there will be more fluff and whatever in later chapters. I just wanted to start things off for now. ;)
