Chapter 2
A.N. – Now the story goes in a different direction. The Lyoko Warriors will appear in a normal life situation, with no recollection of them being friends. What will happen to them? Only one way to find out!
Guest – I was kind of thinking that way too. I'm not sure about the drawings though. I'll think about it.
Disclaimer – I do not own Code Lyoko. I am just a fan of the show.
The sun was shining bright on a brand-new day in the city and in Kadic. Yumi was dreaming of something that she couldn't really put her finger on. She saw herself in a geisha outfit with two metal fans fighting these weird creatures. She was suddenly woken up by a voice.
"Hey Yumi! It's time to wake up!" Yumi shot up and saw her cousin Amanda standing in her room.
"Amanda, I thought I told you never to wake me that way!" Yumi retorted back.
"Would you rather have your brother do it for you?"
Her cousin had a point. She may not have done it the best way, but her little brother would have done it much worse, especially since he likes to torment her.
"Listen, go downstairs and wait. I'll be there soon."
Amanda left and then Yumi undressed and put on her normal day clothes. She and Amanda left for Kadic.
Ulrich woke up and then he looked over to see a blond-haired boy in his room. The boy started to wake up as well.
"Sorry, but do I know you?" Ulrich asked.
"Maybe, we look like roommates" Odd responded.
"Weird, I thought I didn't have one."
"Well, you have one now."
"Yeah, I'm just thrilled, overjoyed even" Ulrich said sarcastically.
"Hey cheer up. You'll see, we'll become best friends before you know it."
Suddenly Ulrich had brief images of him and Odd hanging out, but as quickly as they came, they disappeared. "Find it weird, but I think we already have been friends somehow."
"Maybe we became friends as soon as we saw each other."
Jeremy woke up and did his normal routine before retuning to his room to get his things for the day. He looked on his computer and saw he had a connection to a place called Lyoko.
"Huh, what's this? I don't have the time for it now. I'll investigate it later" Jeremy said as he left his room and headed to the cafeteria.
Aelita was waking up the same way. For some reason, when she woke up, it felt like she had no recollection of what she was doing there. The only thing she knew is her name and the basic things of a normal daily life. She didn't know why she felt like this, but she decided to ignore it for now. Once she returned from her shower, she also got dressed and headed down to cafeteria.
Yumi was walking into the campus with her cousin. Amanda wanted to take a look around town while she was here. Yumi showed her around Kadic and soon after, she noticed Ulrich standing by Odd at a wall.
"Hey, there's that boy from yesterday" Amanda said, pointing to him.
Yumi looked over to him. "I don't remember him" Yumi responded. 'He is kinda cute though" Yumi also thought.
"He was with you last night. He walked you home."
Yumi could not remember anything that happened last night. So, she decided to act stupid till she remembered. "Amanda, I think you're imagining things. This is the first time I saw him."
"You know what Yumi, you're the one acting crazy."
"Listen Amanda, you wanted to know where I went to school, well here we are."
"Yeah, and I want to meet that guy and his friend."
"That's your crusade, mine is going to class."
"How about we meet them now."
Amanda started to drag Yumi towards them. Yumi tried to resist, but Amanda was stronger than her in all terms of physical strength.
"You know, I kinda like this spiky hair. I thought I looked weird a t first, but it grew on me" Odd says to Ulrich.
"It grew on you within a few hours?" Ulrich said confused.
"Well yeah."
"Man, you're easily impressed."
Suddenly the two girls approached them.
"Hi there. I don't think we were properly acquainted yesterday" Amanda started. "If I remember, your name was Ulrich."
"Well yes, but have me met?"
"I'm Amanda, Yumi's cousin. I'm here visiting her."
"More like annoying me…" Yumi said with some annoyance in her voice.
"Oh, you love me, besides you have too, we're family."
"Sometimes, I wish we weren't."
"Well, since you know my name, I guess I should introduce this guy. His name is Odd" Ulrich said.
"Odd Della Robbia. Nice to meet you ladies" Odd said, shaking their hands.
The bell rings signaling class was to begin soon.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, but we got to get to class."
"Hopefully we'll see each other sometime again."
They all walked away.
"I don't know about you, but that girl Amanda is hot" Odd says.
"I think that girl Yumi is not bad either" Ulrich responds.
Yumi was also thinking the same thing about Ulrich.
The group all walked into Ms. Hertz's class for science. Odd and Ulrich sit together, seeing that they have become quick friends, even though they don't remember the past. Jeremy sits a table near the front of the classroom and gets his books out of his backpack. "Uh, excuse me?" A girl says to him. Jeremy looks over and sees Aelita looking like a little shy and nervous to him.
"Ah, yeah, what?" Jeremy responds.
"Is this seat next to you taken?"
"No. You can have it if you want."
"Thank you." Aelita sits down next to him. He glances over to her in the corner of his eye. He feels different about her then he did about any other girls. He also feels that he seen her somewhere too, but also couldn't tell where.
"What's your name by the way?" He asks her.
"I'm Aelita."
"I'm Jeremy. Are you new?"
"I'm not sure. I woke up in a dorm this morning. I can't really remember my past that well."
"Well, if you're waking up in the dorms, you're obviously not new. I though for sure I would have seen you before."
"Maybe I switched class times?"
"I can see that."
Ms. Hertz walked in at this time and started to take attendance. Odd was looking over at Aelita with the same eyes he did with Amanda. "Who's the pink-haired hottie?" Odd asks Ulrich.
"To be honest, I don't really know," Ulrich responds. "I thought you had eyes for Amanda."
"Amanda, this new girl, it's all the same for me. Besides, if I strike out with one, I have a back-up ready to go."
"Don't tell me you're gonna try to date both of them at the same time. It doesn't work for anybody."
"No, first find out who this new girl is, and ask her. And second, then maybe I'll date both."
"Maybe you should try with Amanda first, because there is always the chance that both of them might find out and then you're back to square one."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"Odd Della Robbia?" Ms. Hertz asks.
"Here. What about you and that Yumi girl?"
"Don't know. I'll try to play it out, see where it goes" Ulrich responds.
"See, you'll never meet a girl with that attitude. You need to be like her and just approach without warning. You ask her and if she's with somebody, back off. If she's available, then ask her out."
"I don't know what world that works in."
"Then become her friend. Once that happens, she'll start spilling information and you'll find out if she's single or not."
"That might work. I'll do it later though."
"Maybe come with me. I'm going to visit Amanda and best bet, Yumi will be there too."
"I got a martial arts class tonight. I'll go tomorrow to visit her."
"Ulrich Stern?" Ms. Hertz asks.
"Here."
"Aelita Stones?"
No one answers, and Aelita decides that must be her. "Uh, here." Aelita answers and Ms. Hertz continues.
"Aelita Stones, huh?" Jeremy asks.
"Does that surprise you?" Aelita responds.
"No, but your last name sounds like it should belong to that rock group."
Aelita suddenly had a vison appear in her head of the day she arrived in Kadic.
Jim opens the door to Aelita's room. "And this will be your room. It's not big, but you'll like it here Miss umm…" Jim trials off.
"Stones. Aelita Stones. Like the rock group" Aelita responds.
Aelita snaps out of her reflections.
"Are you okay?" Jeremy asks.
"Yeah, I just got a weird vison. I'm pretty sure it was nothing" Aelita responds.
Class continued like normal and soon the bell rang signaling the end. Everyone departed. The rest of classes were normal until lunch. Jeremy sat with Aelita and were getting to know each other more and started to find out they had a lot more in common. Odd and Ulrich sat together and Odd saw that Aelita looked like she was more interested in Jeremy.
"Bummer looks like Jeremy might have captured Aelita's heart" Odd comments.
"Either that, or she gave it to him" Ulrich responds.
Hey Ulrich," A girl asks. Ulrich looks to Sissi close to the table. "I see you broke it off with your friends and your annoying Japanese girlfriend. So, why don't you be with me."
Unfortunately for Sissi, Ulrich remembered her. "Sissi, I'm not dating anyone, and I would not want to date you under any circumstances. And for your information, the only friend that I know of is Odd here."
"Well, you see normally, you're with Mr. and Mrs. Einstein over there and Yumi too, but both of them are not with you."
Ulrich suddenly had visions of them all at the same table all having a good time. But just like last time, they were gone quickly. "Still, I am not gonna date you and not sit with you."
Sissi gave up and Yumi walked in. "What did you do to Ulrich, Yumi?" Sissi asked her, thinking that she dumped him in a way.
"Nothing, I only saw him this morning" Yumi responds.
"Really, because something happened, and he seems really out of it."
"Hey Sissi, why don't you leave Yumi alone" a man stood behind Yumi spoke up for her.
"Fine William, you're not off the hook yet Yumi."
"Don't worry about her. She's more talk than action."
"Seems like it" Yumi responds.
"What's with you? You haven't said hi to me all morning."
Yumi at the time didn't recognize him, as her only memories of him got wiped as they were connected to Lyoko in a way. So, Yumi played it casually. "Sorry, I just forgot. My cousin is in town and there is a lot going on with her being here."
"Yeah, family can complicate things. Why aren't you with your friends?"
Now Yumi didn't know what to say. She didn't know she had any and if she said she didn't, William would get too suspicious of her actions, even she didn't know what was going on. "Well, I just got here."
"Well, they don't seem to notice you yet, so how about you sit with me." The two get their food and sit at a table.
"Wow, we both strike out. I lose Aelita, you lose Yumi" Odd says.
"One, I wasn't sure about Yumi, and two if they are together, I'll just remain single" Ulrich responds.
Classes resumed for the rest of the day and soon night approached, and Jim's martial arts class happened. Ulrich entered the gym in his training uniform and soon after Yumi entered as well. (Sissi I believe at this time has not entered in the class. It was never mentioned when she did attend, but it was mentioned that she took lessons in episode 40.) When Ulrich saw this, he saw this as a chance to get to see if William was her boyfriend or not. But he had to wait until class was over.
"Good evening you two. Alright, now as you know this class is about self-defense with moves taught throughout all of time. After all, a man or woman needs only their fists and feet, and not guns or bombs to fight back in a situation. Alright, since there is only two of you and since this is a late class today, we'll have just have a practice match. So, get into position" Jim explained to the two.
Yumi and Ulrich got into position across from each other. Jim signaled for them to start. Both of them got into fighting stances. Ulrich tried to hit her with a punch, which Yumi dodged both of them. She tries with her own and Ulrich blocks both. Yumi tries to sweep his feet, but Ulrich jumps up and when he lands his face meets Yumi's foot. Ulrich lands on the ground. Jim ends the match and Yumi smiles with her arms crossed.
"Match end. Victory- Miss Ishiyama," Jim says. "Alright, you two, that's it for tonight, now go get some sleep."
Yumi helps Ulrich up and then they both head for the locker room. "Wait Yumi, do you mind if I walk you home?"
"No, some company would be nice" Yumi responds.
"Ok, great. Let's both get changed." He texts Odd saying he will be walking home Yumi tonight and he should cover with Jim. Odd text him back saying he was currently with Amanda, and he knew that if Yumi found out, this could get much worse.
But for all the Lyoko Warriors, their worst enemy Xana was planning their demise…
