AÉLITA'S POV
The scanner whirred. Dammit. We had a mission on the Evolution Lyoko… I got devirtualized… That's what I get for going solo, but the others were asleep, and I didn't want to trouble them… I didn't even tell Jérémie, so he is gonna freak out when I don't appear in school… But it was 2 AM, and Marin told us that his Lyoko had an activated tower, so I shot over. I was so sure of my skills, but then not even Gulliver and Léonie could keep me safe, but Léonie got to the tower in time, so it was all good… I just wish I could have been of more use to the mission…
I left the scanner room, and when I looked around, it looked like a strange warehouse… I forgot that this is the set of a TV show… I walked over to the lab set, and put my hand on Marin's shoulder. "What happened, the tower was deactivated… You're not bringing them back…?" "I'm sending them to Carthage, so they can send a message, telling Jérémie of your whereabouts, so he doesn't get too worried." I was hoping I wasn't going to get caught for this, but you can't fight the inevitable, I guess… He looked at me, and his caring eyes reminded me so much of Jérémie's… I guess that's why he plays him.
Not to long after, Léonie and Gulliver came back, and Gulliver went home. "Don't worry, Aélita, you can spend the night with me, and then we'll send you back in the morning." I smiled. These guys are very accepting of us, and they don't even know us. Well, I mean I guess they kind of do…but regardless, they are so nice. I am so happy to have some new friends that I can count on. I waited outside for a few minutes, but Léonie had yet to come out. I went back in to check on her, to see her in the lab set, her lips to Marin's. She finally pulled away. "That was only because of the bet. Speak on it, and I swear you will die." He smiled and nodded, and she came towards the "elevator". I ran full speed back outside. I guess that was something I wasn't supposed to see.
We went to Léonie's apartment, and I decided to sleep on the couch. Sleeping in another dimension felt weird. I was so used to my bed back in Kadic…in my dimension. I don't know, it just feels so weird here… I had a strange dream… I wouldn't exactly call it weird, because I have dreams like this quite often… And it's not like its bad. It's just Jérémie and I, finally together… He fails to notice me, so that will never happen. I mean, we're very close, we would die for each other…but sometimes I wonder…how he see's me… I wonder what my mother would tell me to do in this situation, if only she were here… I've needed some motherly advice for a while, but the best I can actually get is Yumi… I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing, I mean, I love Yumi to death and she gives good advice, but…she isn't a mother… I just wish Jérémie would come to his senses the way Ulrich did, and confess his feelings to me in front of the whole school. That would be so romantic… But Jérémie isn't that type. If he's not in front of a computer, he's in front of homework, or asleep…and it has gotten worse since XANA came back… I don't know what to do anymore… Do I give up and move on or… No… I will hold hope… Jérémie Belpois will be mine one day… I just have to have patience…
I woke up at about 9:30. I'm not used to getting up that late on a weekday, but it feels nice to finally get some extra sleep, even though I am missing a lot of work. I rose from the couch and walked to the kitchen. I don't think of it as polite to go in the fridge in someone else's house, but I…am…STARVED… I pulled out a milk jug. It was a gallon that was half full. I pulled a box of Apple Jacks off the top of the fridge, and I poured them in a bowl, then filled the bowl with milk. Then, I began to eat. I haven't had Apple Jacks since… Wow… How long was I in that damn computer… I finished the bowl, and then washed it. I don't want Léonie to have to clean up after me… Regardless, I only have a little while longer in this dimension. I halfway hope for a XANA attack as a chance to redeem myself… I just…I feel so useless… I don't know why I have these thoughts these days… I'm supposed to be the happy one… Oh well, I can't fight the fact that I am in fact…useless… Jérémie giving me the ability to attack did nothing but allow me to FEEL like a matter when I truly don't… All I can do is deactivate a tower, and what is the point if I can't FUCKING make it there… I need to calm down… I'm letting this defeat get to my head…
I went to Léonie's room, so I could talk to her, but she wasn't there… Where could she be…? There was a note on the bed. I picked it up and read it.
"Dear Aélita,
I have decided to hang out with the rest of the gang. We are all at a garden not to far east of the location of my residence. Please join us.
Léonie"
I smiled, and ran out. I feel kind of dirty… I don't have any means of brushing my teeth, showering, or changing clothes until I'm back at Kadic, and I wont be there until around 2:30, 3… Well, maybe when I get there, I can ask Léonie if she can help me in a few of those departments. I pulled out my phone, and used the compass to find out where exactly east was, and then I went in that direction. It was kind of strange, because…most people don't give directions that require compass… It's…weird, but I didn't question it. It wasn't my place to question it. So I walked for about two or three minutes, and I saw Léonie alone in the middle of a garden. She looked at me, and it seemed like a glare, or a scowl. I slowly approached her, to find out what was wrong. "Léonie…?" Her glare turned to an evil smile as the eye of XANA flashed in her eyes. I should have known that directions that…geologically specific had to have come from something that came from a computer program… But how… A Lyoko Warrior cannot be possessed by XANA. Only…copied… Oh shit!
I ran from the polymorph, as fast as I could. The only Evolution Warrior's residence that I knew was Léonie's, and I had no clue where XANA hid her. Luckily I ran into Quentin…literally… Like he was walking down the street with coffee, I hit him, and some of it got on me... "Aélita? Where are you heading off to in such a hurry?" "Léonie is being held captive by XANA, and he has a polymorph chasing me!" His eyes widen in shock. "We have to get to Marin." He pulled me away, and we ran full speed to Marin's place. Thankfully HE knew where he lived.
"How could he have recovered so quickly?" Marin asked, quite distraught. "He has reign in our Lyoko as well as yours." I responded.
"But the scan didn't pick up any activated towers, and there are no Replikas… Do you think…?"
"…that he's able to activate a tower in one dimension, and attack the other…? It's not completely impossible…"
"Well, I'll contact Jérémie, and then I will call Mélanie. Her and Quentin will hold everything down on Lyoko until one of you can be revirtualized." Quentin and I nodded.
"Virtualization." I landed on Lyoko and Looked at Quentin and Melanie. "I was wondering when 3:00 was gonna get here. We were getting lonely" Mélanie said as she laughed. I smiled at them. They were so cute together… So were Odd and Sam… Ulrich and Yumi… But me…I have been permanently friend zoned… But that's not the point. We have a XANA to defeat. We made our way to the to the Skid, and I let Mélanie pilot. It seemed best, because they were the ones who had to bring it back. I sat in the NavSkid that, it were our Skid, Odd would have been in. Strangely, it felt like Odd, down to an ass dent. Evolution went the extra mile for authenticity, in SOME aspects. The towers still look like giant Lego bricks. We got to our Lyoko and were greeted by Odd and William smiling, as well as Jérémie scolding me for leaving… "I love you too Jérémie…" I looked down, and they looked at each other. Odd took initiative. "Okay guys, we have a mission. Keep Aélita from getting devirtualized at all costs! I repeat, keep Aélita from getting devirtualized at ALL costs. We can't afford to lose this one without the other Aélita!" I'm guessing he was referring to Léonie. Oh well, I loved the sentiment. "Send in our vehicles, King Cranium!" said William. Mélanie and Quentin got the Overbike and Overwing. Odd got the Overboard, and William got the new Overring. Have you seen those weird vehicles from Men In Black III, or that one episode of South Park? The one that looked like a doughnut? The Overring was essentially one of those. Wow… I'm sounding more and more like Odd everyday… Well, William doesn't have Super Smoke like Diego, so he needed a vehicle. I decided to use my wings. I don't use those often enough. I need to be more independent.
We were met with Frelions (well, Hornets) and one of them shot me out of the air. I had lost life points, but I wasn't going down without a fight. I threw energy fields at them. I missed a few times, but I didn't even care. Odd held me back. "What are you doing? Your risky behavior might cost us the mission. XANA is stronger now, and we can't lose you. Stop being so reckless." Since the hell when does Odd lecture me on being reckless...? Odd shot what was left with his Laser Arrows, and I hopped on the Overwing with Mélanie. I hate being so vulnerable...
We were near the tower, but it was heavily guarded... There were Krabs every where. "Who ordered the Krabs, and forgot the sauce." Quentin asked. Odd glared at him. "Hey, I'm the one who makes the jokes here!" Odd went at the Krabs, and Quentin went soon behind. The first thing to go was the Overboard, but Odd was nothing else, if not quick on his feet. He took out three on his own before being devirtualized. Quentin was driving the under them and stabbing them. What he didn't count on was one of them shooting him in the face, knocking him off the Overbike. He flew towards a rock, and the Overbike rode off into the digital sea. Before Quentin could get up, he was devirtualized. I'm guessing he's stuck with us again. "Stay here, Aélita." said William, as he rode off to the battlefield, Mélanie right behind him. He drew his sword and took 2 of them out, but he got shot by two more, and more Krabs appeared. It was just me...and Mélanie... They surrounded her, and impaled her with their legs...
We were in a panic, and we didn't know what to do... "Aélita, stay hidden, while we try to get others there to help you..." said Jérémie. That was the last straw. "No! We need to finish this, and finish this now... I'm going in." "What?! Are you insane?!" I ignored the obvious protests of Jérémie. "Marin, do you think you could send me Gulliver's Overboard?" "I'll see what I can do..." "This is REDICULOUS!" Jérémie shouted. "Stay put Aélita!" I got the Overboard, and knew what I had to do. I got on and rode full force at the Krabs. The shot at me, and I dodged the blasts. Then, I heaved energy fields at them, left and right. I took a few out, and then ducked low as I rode under them. When i got out from under them, then I hopped off, and grabbed the Overboard. I aimed carefully, then threw it at them as hard as I could, and it took out a good four of them. I smiled in satisfaction, and went in the tower.
I entered the tower, and walked to the center of the first platform. I made it. I proved myself useful. I smiled and ascended to the second platform. When I get out of here, Jérémie is in for a big surprise. I stepped to the touch interface, and placed my hand upon it. It said "Aélita" in all caps, then "Code: LYOKO." The tower deactivated.
I got out of the scanner, and Jérémie was preparing the Return to the Past. I walked up and I saw William, Odd, Mélanie, and Quentin looking at me proud, but Jérémie looking at me in shock and worry. "What is your problem Aélita?! You almost cost us the mission! I was worried sick!" Odd was silently mimicking him behind his back, making it REALLY hard not to laugh. "You recklessness is..." I grabbed his face and kissed him. I've wanted to do that for so long... And it would shut him up, so, win/win... He froze, but finally loosened up and kissed me back. I reached my arm back and hit the enter key, starting the program. "I love you, Jérémie Belpois..." I rose from the couch in Léonie's house, but this time, in my dimension. I ran out before the family that lived there noticed.
