After just a month, Aelita Schaeffer actually started to miss her most hated enemy. X.A.N.A.

The reason? She wanted her friends back.

It may be hard to believe, but the rogue Multi-Agent System is what brought the five of them together and is also responsible for bringing them all closer. Also, that damned virus was the last thing on Earth that connected to her father, Franz Hopper. In a way, she missed fighting X.A.N.A along side with her friends despite the potential serious consequences should the merciless A.I continued to exist.

If it meant fight alongside with her friends again, the consequences will be worth it.

Ever since they put an end on that part of their lives, they all have became distant.

Now that their time are free from fighting on Lyoko, Yumi spent most of her time maintaining her grades back up to straight A's. Aelita also noticed the looks that Yumi secretly gives to a certain older teen. She hopes he won't take it so hard.

Surprisingly, Odd now has a girlfriend and by the looks of it, they seem to be going steady. Aelita wondered how long before the new girl noticed the smell, but she hopes this relationship last long. The goofy blonde definitely deserves happiness after helping save the world countless times. Also, Odd now has more time making homemade films and practice on his skateboard.

Ulrich, like Yumi, also has buried his time on studying. The pinkette could not blame him, out of all of them, Ulrich has made the most sacrifices for the team. When X.A.N.A was still around, Ulrich spent most of his time training to prepare himself for battles against the powerful virus and his grades suffered for it. Even with all the time reversion, the young man could barely maintain his grades

A single tear slid down her cheek as she went over...

Jeremie Belpois.

Aelita thought and hoped that after pulling the plug, she and blonde genius could finally have some personal time that does not involve the any computers at all, but it seems the young Einstein rather missed the supercomputer. Who could blame him? The advanced piece of technology has taught him a lot about programming, probably more so than any teacher he had in his life.

After watching Jeremie type away on a regular desktop computer, working on computer programs for countless days, Aelita Schaffer wonders if she still loves him.

Aelita knocked on his door. After a long moment of silence, she heard him say, "Come in."

Like the past few months, Jeremie was on his computer.

"Hey, Jeremie." She greeted with a smile, hoping he would turn around to face her.

He did not, "Hello, Aelita."

She frowned. His voice sounded so robotic, each day it became more so severe. Despite that being a bad sign, she continues on.

"Tomorrow's Sunday." She reminds him. "I was wondering if you and I could go out and do something."

"Sounds nice." Jeremie commented, never once losing his concentration on his typing. "But not tomorrow. I'm busy with working on this program. May be another time."

Aelita's heart shattered one last time. Those were the exact same words every time she subtly asks him out. What happened to the Jeremie she fell in love with? The boy genius who stole her heart after making the promise to bringing her into the real world.

She left his room without saying goodbye.
