Common Interests
The vending machine area
POV Cameron's
"Apparently he had no outside help whatsoever," Yumi says, finishing the story she was telling us. Scanning her finger across the choices on the vending machine, she presses a button. A cup dispenses, and then she presses another button. Her drink pours into the cup.
"Peter Duncan had no outside help?" Ulrich asks, in disbelief.
Grabbing her drink, Yumi looks at us, shrugging, "Yeah that's what they said on the radio."
"You know, ever since David Copperfield made the statue of liberty disappear, nothing surprises me anymore," Odd jokes.
"Shouldn't we be a bit concerned? Wasn't this guy some sort of kidnapper?" I ask.
"Yeah he was," Ulrich nods, "But I think the police can handle it."
"Speaking about the police, on the radio they mentioned something about a supernatural force," Yumi says, walking to us. She stops and takes a sip of her drink.
"You think Xana is involved?" Ulrich asks.
"Not a chance," Jeremy answers from afar. Looking at him, he, Aelita, and Lila are walking to us.
"The super scan doesn't show any activated tower," Jeremy says. They reach us.
"I hope you're right. Imagine public enemy number one under Xana's control. Talk about double trouble," Yumi worries.
"A public enemy? What did this Duncan guy do?" Odd asks.
"Oh nothing much. Fine art theft, safecracking, kidnapping, bank robberies," Jeremy lists, counting with his fingers.
"Wow… that's kind of scary," I say. Aelita grabs her head in pain, and Lila does too. They both drop their bags.
"Are you two okay?" Yumi asks.
"Yes – I – I just didn't sleep very well last night," Aelita answers, still holding onto her head.
"Me – too," Lila says, she lets go of her head. The bells ring signaling class.
"Don't forget, we have a math test. Will you two be alright?" Jeremy asks.
"I will," Aelita replies, she grabs her bag and Lila grabs her bag.
"Lila, you'll be okay right?" I ask, a bit concerned.
"I'll be fine. You know me," Lila smiles slightly.
Mrs. Meyer's math class
Mrs. Meyer continues placing the exams on each of the other student's desks.
"As you all know, this exam covers the principles of division. I hope you've studied hard," she says. Looking at the exam, I see long division equations and a few others that aren't too complicated.
This should be a breeze, I think.
"Hey Ulrich, what's the last digit of a number divisible by 2 huh?" Odd whispers to Ulrich, a little too loudly.
"Zero," Mrs. Meyer answers, turning to Odd.
"Oh yeah, that's the answer. Well done ma'am," Odd compliments.
"No, that's the grade you're going to get if you keep trying to cheat," Mrs. Meyer says.
"Oh," Odd says.
Grabbing my pencil, I start writing on my exam. I choose one of the easy division questions I know I can answer.
Okay… so this should be the answer. Then the second question… I think, and continue writing down my equation to solve the test's equation. Mrs. Meyer walks by us, and she sees Jeremy smiling. She looks at him.
"Jeremy is there a problem?"
"I've finished ma'am," he answers. Grabbing the exam, Mrs. Meyer looks at it.
"I see. Good work! Excellent in fact Jeremy," she compliments. She turns to Lila.
"Have you finished your exam yet?" she asks.
"No, not yet ma'am. I'm a bit slow on things today," Lila replies.
I hope she's alright... she usually completes these exams at about the same time Jeremy does, I think.
"That's fine, there's still plenty of time left. Everyone continue on with your exams," Mrs. Meyer's says. Taking Jeremy's exam, she goes to her desk and places it on the desk. A gasp to my side makes me glance over at Lila as she starts grabbing her head in pain.
"Lila, what's wrong?" I whisper to her.
"I -uh-" Lila starts replying but then her eyes close. She and Aelita fall out of the desks and faint.
"Aelita!" Jeremy exclaims.
"Lila!" I exclaim. Getting out of my desk, I go over to Lila. Bending down, I check her pulse.
Bad, bad bad bad, this is really bad! Her pulse shouldn't be this faint! I think.
"We're going to need an ambulance here!" I shout.
"Right, I'll call for one right away!" Mrs. Meyer exclaims, she leaves the room. Some of our classmates start murmuring. Jeremy gets out of his desk and goes to check on her. Odd and Ulrich get out of their desks, and some of our classmates give us some room.
Later
At the hospital
Reaching the hospital, the paramedics take Lila out of the ambulance. Bringing her with Aelita, Jeremy gets out of the other ambulance. We start walking with the paramedics, and doctors who are bringing Aelita and Lila into the hospital on stretchers.
"Okay, what do we got?" One of the doctors ask.
"One thirteen - year old female, and 14-year-old. Both with irregular heartbeats," one of the paramedics explains and rushes them through the doors. Jeremy and I stop walking, as we can no longer see them. Going up to us, one of the paramedics look at us.
"Which of you can hold on to this for Miss Smith until she recovers?" The paramedic asks, holding Lila's weird cracked treasure chest necklace. It's her family heirloom, I've seen her wearing.
"I will," Jeremy answers. The man nods and gives the necklace to Jeremy. The paramedic goes back outside to the ambulance.
Looking around, Jeremy puts the necklace on him and under his shirt, getting it out of sight.
I raise an eyebrow, "Didn't know you were one for jewelry, Jeremy."
"Lila's very fond of this. I'm sure she's told you, it's an old family heirloom. It holds a lot of value to her. I don't want to put it in my pocket and lose it. Trust me, she'd be devastated," he explains.
". . . Well, okay then," I murmur, turning to look back at the doors, "Hope sh-they're doing okay." I ignore Jeremy's raised eyebrow and the heat rising in my face, instead turning away to ponder a sudden thought.
I've never seen Lila without that necklace, thinking about it. Wonder why it's so valuable? I mean sure, maybe sentimentally speaking she would be concerned because it's a family heirloom. But in reality, if it's really that special, why bother wearing it daily? I mean… what if she did lose it? I think something else is going on here with this necklace, I think.
Later
Jeremy and I are in the waiting room with Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi. Jeremy has his head down. Looking at my adoptive father's watch, it's been at least a good two hours since Jeremy and I have been in here. Two doctors walk out of a room and come over to us. I look at them.
"So, how are they?"
"They're fine don't worry," one of the doctors' replies. We smile in relief, and the other doctor starts talking.
"They'll be alright, but it's an extraordinary case."
"Can we see them?" Yumi asks.
The first doctor who talked to us, replies after exchanging a glance with his partner, "I don't see why not. But not too much noise. They need their rest," he says. They start to walk away.
"Don't worry doctors. Everyone knows I'm quiet and calm," Odd smiles. Looking at Yumi, Jeremy takes off the necklace and hands it to her.
"Here, it'd be best if you give this to Lila," Jeremy says.
"Right," Yumi nods, she takes the necklace. She puts the necklace on her and underneath her black long-sleeved shirt.
This… this is weird right? I think to myself.
In Lila's and Aelita's hospital room
The monitors continue beeping, as it monitors Lila and Aelita's heartbeats. Lila and Aelita are recovering on two beds.
"I have your necklace Lila. Keeping it safe, do you want it back?" Yumi asks.
"For now, I think it's best with you until I get out of this hospital bed. They might need to run more tests," Lila answers.
"How did your tests go? Were the results good?" Yumi asks.
"Completely normal," Aelita answers, a bit puzzled.
"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you're not completely human," Ulrich surmises.
I cough pointedly into my fist and glance around the room, "Do we really need to be talking about that here, guys?"
"Could be the virus that Xana implanted in me," Aelita says.
"As for me… well…" Lila trails off, looking at me. "I'm not entirely sure."
Did she . . . that was hesitation. They've already told me about Lyoko and Aelita - what else could they possibly be keeping from me? I grimace, she'll tell me if it involves me.
For now . . . "Jeremy, have you found anything?"
"Dead call as far as Xana is concerned. No activated towers, although the super scan seems to have reset itself. It's not giving the right results," Jeremy says while typing on his keyboard and not looking at us.
"No classes this afternoon," Jeremy closes his laptop, turning to us, "I'm going to go and pay a visit to the factory, to check it out."
"I'll go with you," Ulrich offers. He is holding onto Odd's shoulder.
"Me too," I nod.
"I'll stay here. We can have a girl to girl talk for once," Yumi says. Aelita and Lila smile.
"Say Cameron… maybe after all of this… I can tell you what the necklace means to me?" Lila asks.
"Sure. I'd like that," I smile.
Later
In the woods
I pull the grate off the manhole entrance. Jeremy, Odd, and Ulrich climb down first. Following them, I close the grate. Climbing all of the way down on the ladder, I land on the ground. Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, and I grab our riding equipment.
I could probably keep up with these guys on foot - maybe - but the scooter was definitely a good call. I'm glad I bought tennis shoes before rooming in with Jeremy. Much better than the cowboy boots I wore, I think.
Afterwards
Inside the lab
Jeremy wastes no time in beginning to type away on the keyboard. He brings up the super scan, and it starts trying to locate the towers.
"That's exactly what I was afraid of," Jeremy says, not turning to us.
"What?" Ulrich asks.
"The super scan bugged up. I'll find out why in a minute," Jeremy replies.
"The real question is, can you fix it?" Odd asks, getting closer to Jeremy.
"Well normally yeah," Jeremy answers, turning to Odd he continues: "But the debugging phase takes time. I don't know if it's a minor bug or something more serious. I –" he starts to ramble.
"It'll be quicker if we go to Lyoko ourselves and check it out. Especially if he's been messing with the scan." I head back to the elevator, "Drop us in different sectors if you can, Jeremy - if we have to check all of Lyoko, it's best to split up. Odd, Ulrich, you coming?"
"Right!" Ulrich and Odd exclaim, they run to catch up to me.
In the scanner room
Odd and Ulrich went ahead of me, virtualized to the desert and mountain sectors, respectively. I tap my foot impatiently, waiting for the scanner to open,
"So, Jeremy, where are you sending me?"
"Ice Sector." Jeremy says over the speakers, "And be careful - I'm using monster activity as a guess for where I need to drop you guys, so you'll have some Kankrelats to kick around unless you avoid them."
"Wonderful," I mutter, stepping into the scanner as it finally opens up, "maybe splitting up wasn't a good idea after all."
"Well, it was your idea, and Ulrich and Odd took out a tarantula and pair of Krabs, so you've got a bar to reach. Now then, get ready!"
The scanner doors close.
I close my eyes as Jeremy runs through the virtualization process, and brace myself just in time for the wind to hit.
Ice Sector
I land and immediately throw myself behind a nearby boulder, listening for any activity. As promised, the clatter of a few metal legs sounds from close by, and I take a breath, steadying myself.
"Don't panic. I'm calling up the OverRide now. As you know I've changed it so that it tilts with your weight, and I added some primary weapon systems in there. So you've have that to fight the monsters with if you choose to. And your flute is fully online, so you've got plenty to work with," Jeremy informs me.
"Awesome," I say, and looking at my flute I can tell all of the notes are indeed open again. My vehicle materializes, and I step onto the disc. I take the flute out, setting my fingers along the flute and turning, ready to blast the little cockroaches into oblivion,
"Any progress on the super scan?"
"Nothing yet - I think Xana's meddled personally with it this time, a normal bug shouldn't be this persistent."
The OverRide whirrs as I rise over the boulder, and the squad of Kankrelats turns to face me, beginning to charge their blasts.
I'm faster. A note pierces the clear air, a wave of sonic energy emanates from my position, and five cockroaches are knocked onto their backs, firing uselessly into the sky.
"Done with the Kankrelats," I say, guiding the OverRide around the struggling squad, "Where are the nearest towers?"
"East-Northeast, then due West from there, then North-Northwest from there. I'm glad I got to change the way you drive your OverRide. Much easier now, with tilting your weight isn't it?" he asks.
"Sure is," I say. I put my flute back in its holster.
Though I think I have a better idea on how to find that activated tower, I think.
I begin to rise straight up until I'm above nearby features. The Ice Sector is spread out below me like a painting, the lack of atmosphere ensuring that I can see for what must be miles. East-Northeast . . . tower yes, red glow no. West from there . . . again, tower yes, activated, no. North-Northwest from there . . . bingo.
It's a good distance away, so I can barely see the tower itself, but the dull red glow stands out dramatically against the mixed blues around it,
"Found it, Jeremy. Mark the third one you just mentioned, going to confirm it now."
"Good job, Cameron - I'll let Odd and Ulrich know, and bring you all in."
"Sounds like a plan Jeremy," I nod, and take a seat, guiding the OverRide towards the activated tower. The sector is quiet, and I get to it without further trouble. No monsters around it, which is . . . curious, but I wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Which is why, when the sector begins dissolving like an acid rain is sweeping across the landscape, I wonder exactly what I'd done to deserve it.
"Jeremy!" I shout, standing up and urging my vehicle away from the dissolution of the dimension I was currently inhabiting, "Jeremy, please tell me you're there!"
Nothing. The OverRide's whir begins to grow louder, almost a shriek as I tilt my weight forward, pushing it past the speeds it was intended to fly at.
Note to self, I think in a moment of strange calm as the shriek cuts off and I'm sent tumbling to the ground from a dissolving vehicle. Figure out a way to enable self-propelled flight on Lyoko. Also, immunity to the virtual sea would be a nice addition. Though probably impossible.
Then the ground below me vanishes, and my rational mind cuts out as I begin to fall. In a painfully ironic twist, as soon as the sector has dissolved to a point where it's just barely out of reach, it stops vanishing and reappears above me.
"Oh COME ON!" I scream, "Jeremy! Jeremy, tell me this means you're back online! JEREMY!"
A moment before I'm about to hit the virtual sea, I devirtualize in the nick of time.
Inside the scanner room
The golden metal walls of the scanner appear around me. The scanners doors open, as Ulrich and Odd seem like they had a close call too.
It takes me a lot longer than I'd like to admit stopping panicking.
"Sorry about that you guys. I had some trouble with the supercomputer's battery," Jeremy explains through the headset.
"Bad luck? I was almost devirtualized forever," I say.
"Same here Einstein!" Odd exclaims.
"I think the three of us can agree that was too close of a call," Ulrich says.
"I'll explain everything once we're back at the hospital," Jeremy says.
Later
Back in the hospital
Outside Lila and Aelita's room
Ulrich is sitting on the ground. Yumi, Odd, Jeremy, and I are standing.
"The nuclear battery is almost all used up. So, the supercomputer keeps failing, and pretty soon it'll turn off altogether," Jeremy explains.
"Oh, is that all? Then we just have to change the battery," Odd says.
"I . . . get the feeling that the Supercomputer runs on something more exotic than Double-As'," I say.
"He's right. The supercomputer is not the same as a Gameboy, Odd. You can't just pick up a bar of Uranium at the corner store," Jeremy retorts.
"Wasn't there a kind of emergency backup battery?" Ulrich asks.
"No, I checked," Jeremy grimaces.
"Xana is dying," Yumi says.
"So are Aelita and Lila. All of the account of that miserable virus Aelita has. And that link Lila has," Jeremy says.
We all groan.
If Lila has a link, why can't they unlink her? Is it similar to the virus within Aelita? And don't they both need antiviruses to rid themselves of Xana? Or am I missing something... Ugh... This is awful… if Lila dies I may never get to tell her how I truly feel. And if Aelita dies… Jeremy is going to be a wreck, I think.
"I'm going to get something to drink," Jeremy says, with his head down. He walks away. Yumi holds the necklace close to her chest, as a sort of self-comfort.
"Let's go in," I urge. Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd nod. Odd opens the door, and we walk into the room.
Inside the room
Odd goes next to Aelita, and I go next to Lila. They're resting on their pillows.
"Hey, you two, is the best TV set they could find?" Odd jokes, trying to lighten up the situation.
"Don't bother trying to cheer me up. I heard what Jeremy said in the hallway," Aelita says, turning to him. Odd closes his eyes, feeling down.
"Yumi… if worse comes to worse… I need you to find a way to either hide the necklace. Or destroy it okay?" Lila asks, turning herself to see Yumi.
"But – are you sure?" Yumi asks, a bit surprised.
"I am yeah. We can't let Xana get his hands on it," Lila replies. She looks to me.
"I really want to tell you about it. Every bit of it," she tries to smile.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll get the chance to," I say, trying to be optimistic.
That being said… why would you want to have Yumi destroy it? I thought you said it was an old family heirloom. Then… that must have been a lie… I think.
"I'll go look for Jeremy, see if he got his drink," Yumi says. She walks out of the room. We wait for her for a few minutes in silence, letting Aelita and Lila rest. The monitors continue monitoring Aelita and Lila's heartbeats. Yumi opens the door.
"Jeremy's left," she informs.
"But he can't just have left like that," Ulrich says.
The monitors continue beeping. Aelita and Lila gasp in pain, they flat line.
"Aelita! Lila!" Yumi exclaims.
In a heartbeat, I'm at Lila's side, grabbing her hand,
"Lila! Lila wake up!" Please don't be - you can't die on me!
Ulrich's phone starts ringing. Taking it out of his pocket, he presses the answer button and answers it.
"Jeremy, where are you? Aelita and Lila just had another attack!" Ulrich informs. He pauses for a moment.
"You did what?!" he exclaims.
He starts pacing the room, as he is talking to Jeremy.
"That means Aelita and Lila are safe too then. Fantastic!" he exclaims in relief. He stops pacing and looks at us.
"Aelita and Lila's hearts can't take a lot more of this."
Afterwards
On the bridge
Ulrich is carrying Aelita on his back, while Odd is carrying Lila on his back. Yumi and I continue running with them.
I know this might technically make us criminals… I mean we did kidnap them from a hospital. But… this is important. We are trying to be the heroes here, after all, can't do that without them, I think.
In the scanner room
Aelita and Lila have woken up. They're standing in front of the scanners. They seem to be feeling better.
"Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Cameron. Are you there? Tell me you're there," Jeremy worries. We all look at each other.
"We're there," Odd informs.
Jeremy sighs in relief.
"We're in the scanner room," Yumi says.
"Are Aelita and Lila okay?" Jeremy asks.
"Couldn't be better," Aelita answers.
"Same here Jeremy," Lila replies.
"Launch the procedure for Yumi, Aelita, and Lila. They'll deactivate that darn tower. And the three of us will take care of Duncan," Odd says.
"Right, let's go," I say.
"Hey… thanks for everything Cameron," Lila smiles.
"No problem," I smile back.
POV Lila's
"Here Lila," Yumi says, taking the time machine necklace off her. She hands it to me and smiles.
"Thanks, Yumi. I'm glad I can rely on all of you." I put my time machine necklace back on. I zip up my pink magenta jacket, so it covers the time machine necklace fully, leaving the chain part seeable only.
Odd, Ulrich, and Cameron head back up to the lab, using the freight elevator. We step into the scanners.
"Transfer: Yumi, Transfer: Aelita, Transfer: Lila," Jeremy starts. The scanners doors close.
Closing my eyes, the scanner continues spinning. It starts humming.
"Virtualization!"
A bright light and wind engulf me, billowing my hair and lifting the chain of my time machine necklace, slightly. I'm virtualized to Lyoko.
Ice Sector
Opening my eyes, I see Yumi, Aelita, and I fall. We land safely on the ice.
"You should see the tower," Jeremy says.
Scanning around, the three of us look at the tower.
"Over there," Yumi points.
Aelita frowns, looks back, and takes a step behind us, pointing, "Kankrelats!"
Yumi and I turn to them. There are five lined up.
"Haven't seen you guys in a while!" I exclaim. The Kankrelats start charging their lasers, and I ready my hands for an ice blast. The Kankrelats fire off their lasers and I unleash an ice blast.
The ice freezes the lasers in midair. Yumi and I start running at the Kankrelats. Grabbing my bow, and taking out the arrow, I put the arrow on the bow. Holding the arrow I pull the drawstring back, and I release the arrow. It flies to the Kankrelat. Yumi takes her Tessen fans out.
The arrow hits the Kankrelat, and it explodes. Throwing her Tessen fans, they fly at two Kankrelats. Looking above the lasers that were frozen, they become unfrozen.
Looking back at Aelita, she is able to dodge each of the lasers. I run up to her and guard her as I pull out another arrow from my quiver. Yumi's Tessen fans slices through the Kankrelat, it explodes. The Tessen fans return to Yumi, and she catches them.
Aiming at the other kankrelat, I put my arrow on the bow. Holding the arrow, I pull the drawstring back and I fire off my arrow at it. The arrow flies pass Yumi and hits the Kankrelat in the target eye.
Hey, I'm pretty good at these! I think happily.
Grabbing her fans, she cartwheels back over to us. The three remaining Kankrelats continue to fire at us. I put my bow back on its hook.
"Jeremy, we're going to need our vehicles," Yumi informs. The Kankrelats start charging their lasers and fire them at us. Yumi blocks the lasers with her Tessen fans. I use my ice powers as I try to freeze them one by one.
"Your rides are on your way."
Yumi continues to block the three Kankrelat's attacks. With each block, they become heavier and faster. She misses a laser, and it hits her. Aelita tries to grab her, and Yumi almost falls down. Her body starts to spark. I continue to try and fire off a small ice blast. Looking at the frozen lasers, they start unfreezing.
"Yumi you're down ten life points! Your vehicles are materializing!"
Taking my bow off its hook, I put another arrow on the bow. Holding the arrow, I pull the drawstring back and launch the arrow at the Kankrelat. It flies to the Kankrelat, hitting it, and it explodes.
Our vehicles materialize. Putting my bow back on its hook, I hop onto my broomstick. Aelita and Yumi get onto the Overwing. We take off, leaving the two remaining Kankrelats alone. We fly along the path and soon see the activated tower.
"Jeremy, we're close to the activated tower," I inform.
"Great."
We continue to fly our vehicles, and getting closer we see two Tarantulas.
"Two monsters in view," Yumi says. Yumi, and Aelita get up close to the Tarantula. I hang back.
Waving at the Tarantulas, Aelita almost laughs at the Tarantulas. They fly past them. One of the Tarantulas goes off to follow them. Speeding my broomstick, I ready my hands for an ice blast.
Charging them, I aim my hands at the Tarantula as it's about to launch its lasers at me. Unleashing my ice blast, I use my broomstick and command it to fly around. Somehow, I still have a link to it telepathically, and I continuously freeze the Tarantula but keeping its head open so I have a clear view of the Xana target eye.
I get off my broomstick. Taking my bow off its hook, I grab an arrow from my quiver. I jump back and put the arrow on the bow. Holding the arrow, I pull the drawstring back.
Releasing it, I fire off my arrow at the Tarantula's head. It cracks. Taking another arrow from my quiver, I fire this one off again and the Tarantula's head cracks in two. Taking one more arrow from the quiver.
I pull the drawstring back and notice the Tarantula is starting to unfreeze. I release my arrow, and the Tarantula breaks free. It fires its lasers at me, and I'm hit. The arrow hits the Xana target eye just in time, and the Tarantula explodes. I fly into the air and devirtualize in a cloud of pixels.
Back in the scanner
Opening my eyes, I'm back in the scanner and the scanner opens. Getting up, I rush up the ladder shoot.
Inside the lab
Duncan has taken both Ulrich and Odd out. He's a bald man, with rectangle glasses and has a menacing look on his face. He appears to be in his mid-forties. He also has a blond beard and is at least six feet tall.
Cameron guards Jeremy, as Duncan is trying to get to them. He then turns to me. He looks like he's about to start running at me, but using both of his hands and forming them into a fist, Cameron hits Duncan in the back of the head. He falls to the ground and we take a collective sigh.
The next day
Back at Kadic
By the vending machine area
Looking at the newspaper, Yumi starts reading it.
"Peter Duncan was found in front of police headquarters. The police are investigating, but for the moment don't have any leads as to how the escaped prisoner outside the police station." She stops reading and lowers the newspaper.
"Even if we did tell them the truth, they would never believe us," Ulrich says.
"That's for sure," Cameron nods.
"You're right. That's how it is for unsung heroes like us. We've got to remain in the shadows. I guess that's what being a true hero is all about. But someday, everyone is going to know just how brave we are. We'll reap the real benefits and rewards, true heroes deserve," Odd says, lifting his finger.
"Hey, speaking about a reward, I just saw Mrs. Meyer," Jeremy mentions.
"Uh – oh," Odd grimaces.
"She gave me the results of the math test," Jeremy says.
"Uh – great. What did I get?" Odd asks.
"8,650 plus 51 minus 10,000, plus 1,299," Jeremy answers.
I smile.
Odd closes his eyes.
"You mean I got uh… uh… wow! I got a 100?" he asks, opening them.
"Uh no. Zero," Jeremy replies.
Odd slouches with disappointment. Ulrich walks over to Odd and puts his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Odd, one day everyone is going to know how brave you are by not studying. And you'll reap the rewards an unsung hero like you deserve," Ulrich says.
"But don't hold your breath," Yumi says. We all start laughing at that, minus Odd.
Later
In the park
Taking Cameron to the park, I look to see no one is around. I unzipped my jacket earlier, so I can take off my necklace with ease.
I hope I'm not going to regret this… I think.
"So… I'm about to tell you the truth okay? And you may want to sit down for this one," I say.
"Okay…" Cameron trails off, sitting down on the bench.
Taking my necklace off, I hold it in my hand and let Cameron get a good look at it.
"Cameron…. The reason why Jeremy and Yumi wore this necklace at the hospital is that…" I trail off.
"Is that?"
I sigh, and gulp a little.
"It's a time machine. I'm a time traveler Cameron."
How will Cameron react? Find out in the next chapter!
Author's note: At this point in time Aelita should have been thirteen in the show. However, for some unknown reason, there was a dubbing error and her age was 12 years old. I have fixed this error to go along with the story. Right now Jeremy is 12 years old and is just a couple of months younger than Aelita since he turns 13 in Franz Hopper. As of right now, this is still February in the story since the Saint Valentine's Day chapter took place, and we are in the year of 2007. As always keeping track of the timeline for this story is very important and Lila is still fourteen because she'll be turning 15 in October, which would only be about seven and a half months away from now story wise. So give or take that would be the beginning of Season 4 of Lila's Journey. Just needed to clarify this.
Don't forget to review!
