A/N: This is a sneak peek for the upcoming remake of Digital Love. As I looked back over the original, I realized that it was absolute shit as far as what I'm capable of, so I decided right then and there that I was going to make it again, except it would be about 9000x more awesome than it already was. It's going to be done very soon, but I just wanted to show off my work thus far and get everyone's opinions on the subject. Also, part 2 is in the works and should be done Soon™.

Digital Love

Redux (Sneak Peek)

As they waited in the elevator, Jeremie pondered upon his dream. It seemed to have a lucidity that he had never before had in a dream; it was almost premonition-esque. A hundred different thoughts sparked throughout his mind at that musing. Most of them concerned whether he should ask Aelita to the dance tomorrow.

Aelita's voice cut through his thoughts. "Jeremie, are you okay? You look out of it."

"What…? Oh! I'm fine. I just had a weird dream before I finished the anti-virus program." Jeremie said.

"Really? What about?" she asked, her face turning to an expression of wonder.

"Erm…nothing important," Jeremie said, blushing slightly.

Aelita shrugged. With that, Jeremie suddenly had a powerful urge to wrap his arm around her waist (to this day Jeremie couldn't tell why); and he did, looking shocked as he did so.

Aelita gasped a bit, but smiled. Jeremie had never done this before, but she wasn't about to start complaining. Nevertheless, she saw a good opportunity to poke a little fun at Jeremie. "Jeremie, what are you doing?" she said whilst a small smile danced upon her lips.

"What? Oh! Nothing, absolutely nothing at all!" he exclaimed defensively. Jeremie also retracted his hand quickly.

"Well, if you're sure…" Aelita said, now restraining from laughing. The elevator door popped open, much to Jeremie's relief.

"All right, time to get this thing started. Get down to the scanner room, would you?" Jeremie said.

"Yes sir!" she replied, snapping into a military salute. Jeremie laughed and walked off to the computer.

"All right, are you ready, Aelita?" Jeremie said into the mike as he sat down.

"Yes!" she responded.

"Okay, I'm starting it." Jeremie said, and typed furiously on the console.

Jeremie ran down into the scanner room as the program finished up. He stopped in front of the one that was closed.

After a minute, it opened, and Aelita fell out into Jeremie's arms.

"You okay?" he asked as her eyes opened.

She smiled and said nothing. Jeremie grinned as well.

"You want to go shut XANA off?" he asked after a second.

"No, of course not, Jeremie. Allowing that foul beast of a program to live long enough to be able to attempt to kill humanity one more time would be an absolutely fantastic idea," she said, with profound sarcasm dripping off of every syllable.

"Phew, thank goodness. I was worried there for a second." Jeremie responded. Aelita laughed, and they went down into the supercomputer room.

Without any semblance of a long, meaningful speech, Jeremie simply went over and flipped the switch to the computer. It shut off, and Aelita remained conscious. She hugged him fiercely. Jeremie knew that this was the perfect moment to ask her.

"Hey, Aelita…I was wondering if, um, you'd like to, uh…come with me to the…uh…dance tomorrow?" he said, turning a bright crimson.

"Oh, Jeremie, I'd love that!" she said, and hugged him once more.

"Okay, enough with the hugs already, huh?" Jeremie said, with a laugh.

"Oh, whoops! Sorry! Here, I guess you'll just have to settle with this," Aelita said, and kissed him on the cheek. Jeremie turned a bright crimson.
