Chapter 10: Hanging out and a Video
--
I was still on my computer while Aelita, Jeremy, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi were finishing the cake. I wasn't typing the story anymore because I had just finished and posted it. I have been working on video editing.
"You've been working on the computer all day, I think you should take a break." Yumi said.
"I'm working on something, I'll take a break later." I said.
"Your as hard to get away from the computer as Einstein over there." Odd said.
"Really, I have to finish this. I'll only work on this one video and we can go downtown, I'll pay for everything." I said.
Aelita and Yumi shrieked.
"Shopping spree!" They yelled.
"Don't over do it." I said giving them 'the look'.
"We won't, promise." Aelita said.
"Ok." I said putting my attention back on my computer.
"What video are you working on?" Ulrich asked.
"Something I do in my spare time. A transition there, slow down clip here, and…done." I said turning off my computer.
"Ok, lets go." I said.

Downtown

"Ok, we get James first, you guys look for what you want to buy and we'll give him to you." Yumi said.
Aelita was now pulling my arm.
"Come on." Aelita said.
"Ok, Ok, one sec." I said. I checked to see my credit card was in my wallet and it was there. Then I put it back into my pocket.
"You're going to be tortured." Odd said laughing.
"Don't worry, I have to shop with my cousins all the time and they're all girls so I'm used to it. Plus, you guys will faint when you see Aelita and Yumi." I said.
"Let's go." Yumi said.
"Ok, ok, I'm coming." I replied.
"I feel sorry for him." Odd said.
Jeremy, Ulrich and Odd laughed while they left.

Macy's with the girls

"Hm, let me think. What does my cousins wear with pink?" I asked my self.
Aelita, Yumi, and I were looking through clothing.
"Ah, I remember. Let's see…" I said.
"What about this?" Yumi asked holding up a black pair of Jeans.
"Nah." Aelita and I said at the same time. We laughed.
"Ah, this looks good." I said. I held up a hot pink skirt for Aelita to see. She fell in love with it.
"Wow! I love it!" Aelita said.
"And this would go nicely with it too." I said holing up a darker pink shirt that had an 'A' on it.
"Your good at this." Aelita said.
"Something I shouldn't be proud of." I said. I chuckled while Aelita giggled.
"Ok, Aelita go try those on and I'll help Yumi some more." I told her. She then went towards the dressing rooms.
"Now, black…" I said to myself.
"How about this?" Yumi asked.
"No, too light of a black. You need something that says I like black, but I'm a nice person." I told her.
"You really are good at this." Yumi said and giggled.
"Ok, lets see…" I said once again.
Ring. Ring.
"Hi…Ok…Be right there." Yumi said.
"Aelita's done changing and wants to know what we think, right?" I said.
"Yep." Yumi said. We then walked near the dressing rooms. Aelita was there.
"So? What do you think?" Aelita asked.
Yumi said, "It's great."
I almost fainted at the sight of her, but recovered. I had stumbled back to my feet.
"I guess I'll take that as a 'Jeremy will feint' answer." Aelita said and giggled.
"I know I would of." I said.
"We still have to look for something for me." Yumi said.
"Ok. I'll go change back." Aelita said.
As I watched her go back, something caught my eye.
"Hm…" I said in wonder. I walked towards it.
'Perfect.' I thought.
"Try these Yumi." I said throwing the clothing to her.
"Ok." Yumi replied and went into the changing room. Aelita had already come out and was waiting for Yumi with me. Yumi then came out.
"So?" Yumi asked.
"Good." Aelita answered.
"There's still something missing…" I said.
"Ah." I said finding the answer. I had then put her hair into a bun, wrapped a rubber band around it, and put a hair clip from my pocket into her hair.
"There we go." I said.
Yumi then looked at the mirror.
"Is that really me?" Yumi said in amazement.
"Yep." I said.
"Where did you get the hair clip?" Aelita asked.
"When you hang out with girls as long as I have, you find things in your pockets." I said.
After Yumi got undressed and I paid for all the stuff, we left Macy's.
"Ok. Let's go." I said and we found the boys at a video game store.
"Find anything interesting?" I asked.
"No, do you have any suggestions?" Odd asked.
"K, for Ulrich…Ah they do have it." I said and handed him the game.
"Good game if you're into soccer." I said handing him Fiva.
"Nice." Ulrich said.
"Now for odd, what about this?" I said handing him The Sims 2.
"You control a simulation character and make him do what ever you want." I said.
"Nice!" Odd said.
"And for Jeremy, how about a role-playing game." I said handing him D&D.
"Hm, I think I'll try it." Jeremy said.
Then I paid for all the stuff and we went back to school.
"Thanks for taking us shopping." Aelita said trying to be polite.
"No problem, you guys deserve a break from XANA every now again. Now lets get back to the cafeteria before they stop serving lunch. It will end in 15 minutes." I said.
"WHAT!" Odd said and rushed over there.
Everyone else then went to the cafeteria.
--
The cafeteria
--
"We made it." Odd said relieved.
Everyone had been eating until Sissy came over.
"Hey Ulrich Dear?" Sissy said.
"What do you want? Don't you know I'm busy eating with my friends?" Ulrich said.
"You know, I still have your diary. If you don't be nice to me or go to the movies with me, I'll tell everyone about what's in it." Sissy said.
Everyone but me looked at each other. Last time Sissy did that, it was trouble.
"You must be new. Why are you hanging out with these Weirdoes?" Sissy said looking at me.
"These 'weirdoes', as you call them, are my friends." I said.
"How can you be so calm? I just stole your 'friends' diary." Sissy said.
"You better give it back to him. I'm not a fan of blackmail. I wonder what your father thinks about blackmail?" I said playing a clip from my PDA and showing it to her.
--
"Hi Ulrich dear." Sissy said.
"Can't you see I'm busy Sissy?" Ulrich said. He didn't try to be rude because he was having a good time and didn't want to spoil the moment.
"Will you dance with me?" Sissy asked.
"No, I'm dancing with Yumi." Ulrich said back.
"If you don't I'll tell everyone what is in your diary that I stole from your room." Sissy blackmailed.
--
"How did you get that?" Sissy said scared.
"That's not all, I wonder how hard the student body will be laughing when I show it on TV's across campus, and I can get teachers to turn them on." I said showing her another video. It showed her getting slimed.
"If you don't give that diary back to Ulrich or if you tell anyone in campus about it, I'll show these clips to the student body and your father. Plus, if you know that I recorded the dance, how do you know I didn't just record what you said earlier?" I said.
Sissy then looked like she had just seen a ghost.
"Uh…here's your diary back Ulrich…I'll be going now." Sissy stuttered and ran off.
"Wow, I never saw Sissy get scared and run off before." Odd said joking.
Everyone laughed.
"Thanks for getting my diary back James." Ulrich said.
"No problem. I know how big a pain in the neck Sissy can be." I said. Everyone laughed harder.
"Hey James, did you just say that you recorded the dance?" Aelita asked.
"Uh oh, busted." Odd said.
"You think we should show them?" I asked Odd.
"Sure." Odd said with a grin.
"Meet me in my room in 5 minutes." I said.
"Ok." Everyone said.
"Aelita and Yumi, can I speak to you?" I asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Aelita asked.
"Now would be the perfect time to wear the clothing you bought today." I said.
Yumi and Aelita then smiled and went to change.
--
My room
--
Jeremy, Odd, and Ulrich were already there.
"So what did you record?" Ulrich said.
"I like to edit video, so you'll see." I said and pulled out a device.
As if on cue, Aelita and Yumi walked in the door.
"Hi Jeremy." Aelita said in a sweet voice.
"Uh…" Jeremy said with a loss of words.
I then pointed my 'Mind reading/recording' device at Jeremy.
'Aelita looks REALY beautiful! Say something Jeremy! Don't just stare!' Jeremy thought.
I was trying hard not to laugh. Then I pointed the device at Ulrich.
'Uh…Uh...Uh…' Ulrich thought.
'He has a loss of words even in his mind.' I thought and tried to hold back my laughter, but I couldn't contain it.
"HA, HA, HA! Sorry." I said.
"What's so funny?" Odd asked.
"Listen." I said.
I then whispered in to his ear, "These are the thoughts of Jeremy and Ulrich when the girls walked in the door."
Odd listened.
--
'Aelita looks REALY beautiful! Say something Jeremy! Don't just stare!' Jeremy thought.
'Uh…Uh...Uh…' Ulrich thought
--
Odd was now on the floor cracking up.
"What's going on?" Jeremy asked.
"Nothing." I said still laughing.
"Let me hear." Aelita said.
"No, wait!" I said but it was too late, the file had begun to play again.
Aelita was blushing. She was now listening to Jeremy's thoughts.
"What's going on?" Yumi asked putting on the earphones.
Ulrich's thoughts were playing when she put it on. Now she was blushing.
"Just so you know, that was what they were thinking the second they saw you. It's a mind reading device. Cool huh?" I whispered to Aelita and Yumi.
They were now really red.
"What?" Jeremy asked when we were looking at Ulrich and him.
"Give me that." Ulrich said listening to it. Jeremy was also listening.
"Hey, this is my thought." Ulrich said.
"Mine too!" Jeremy said blushing. Ulrich was also blushing.
"Mind reading device." I said.
"Now, you have to agree to lock these behind your back if you want to watch the movie." I said holding up handcuffs that remotely unlock.
"Why?" Ulrich asked.
"If you don't, no movie." I said.
"Fine." Ulrich said
in defeat.
Odd and I then put the handcuffs on them.
"Now for the movie." I said pressing play on my apple remote. I was showing it on the TV.
They then watched themselves getting stuck in the science room being trapped and forced to ask them to the dance. Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi got red.
"Now for the dance." I said.
The movie continued. It showed Aelita DJ'ing, which Jeremy watched closely, Jeremy, Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi slow dancing, and of course, Sissy getting slimed. Everyone laughed at this. Then Jeremy asked the dreadful question.
"That was you? The locked in the room with Aelita and the sudden change in music as I got onto the dance floor?" Jeremy said.
"And my hologram that helped you." I completed.
"Wait, so you set me and Yumi up too?" Ulrich said.
"Yep, and with help from Odd." I said and Odd bowed.
Everyone got angry.
"That's why I handcuffed you, because I have to explain something before you kill me." I said.
"If I haven't of trapped you guys in that room, would you have asked Aelita or Yumi to the dance?" I asked.
"Especially Jeremy, he would be too scared to do it and would make up an excuse to work on the computer all day. Plus, he wouldn't have ever dared to dance with Aelita on the dance floor during a slow song. Also, didn't you have a good time? Ok, I'm done. You can kill me if you wish." As I said this, I pushed a button on the computer. The handcuffs unlocked and I braced for the thrashing I thought I was going to get, but it never came. When I looked up, they were all still on the bed looking at me with a smile.
"You know what, James is right. Thanks." Aelita said. Everyone nodded.
"Now that that is settled with, I think I'll go to sleep." I said. The clock said 9:55.
So I encrypted files, saved my progress, and turned off my computer. I then stored it in the safe below my bed.
I then got into bed because I had changed into my pajamas before everyone got there.
"I think I'll turn in too." Yumi said. Everyone then left. Now it was just Jeremy, Aelita, and I. Jeremy then motioned to turn on his computer.
"Don't touch that power button." I said to Jeremy. Jeremy froze.
"Now get some sleep. Remember what I said last night. You wouldn't want me to say it in front of you know who." I replied. Jeremy then got into bed as fast as lightning.
"I didn't even have to get him to go to sleep this time." Aelita said.
We laughed.
"Good night Jeremy." Aelita said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Good night Aelita." Jeremy replied.
As Aelita was closing the door to our room, she winked at me.
'Huh? Oh well. Probably nothing. OH YEA! ALMOST FORGOT!' I thought picking up my wireless cameras.
I decided that the last 2 hours of curfew I would put set up cameras all over the school.
I put one in every classroom, corridor, hallway, and path to school. I even put cameras in, the sewer leading to the factory and every route into the computer lab. When I got back, it was 11:55.
'I'm getting better at this.' I said. When I got back to my room, I checked to see if everything was working. Everything was, so I went to sleep.
