THIS STORY BE UPDATED! I pretty much own everything here, considering it's 263 years since the series and pretty much everything is long gone. But if I don't own it MoonScoop does.
In the weeks that followed I slowly adjusted to life on Earth, well, at least hospital life, according to Michael there was much more. He told me stories about everyday life, about school, and holiday, and sports, and all sorts of things. I'm sure to him telling me about things like plants was very mundane but to me it was absolutely fascinating! In return I told him about Lyoko, he already knew about it but time smudged the details in his family story and there were overall large gaps in his knowledge.
It was hard, being trapped in bed all day. I always expected a monster to pop up somewhere, and then I would have to defend myself with the weapons I didn't have. I felt naked without my energy fields, hypothetically of course. But Michael helped me through it.
Then came the day when I could finally get up out of bed.
"Ok Alana, let's get you up nice and easy." said the doc.
She had been extremely helpful, buying the fact that I had completely "forgotten" how to function on Earth.
"First sit up." she said, gently placing a hand on my back in case I needed support.
It was somewhat difficult but I sat up, immediately my head started to ache very badly and I saw colors in front of my eyes, I got back down.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Just a sudden change in the blood flow, perfectly natural, nothing to worry about. Now this time sit a little slower."
I did as she said and this time I sat up just fine, everything looked a little different from this angle, but then again it always did, coming to Earth didn't change that.
"Okay, now swing your legs around to the side of the bed."
I did so, she was so patient, though it was probably part of her job.
"Good, and now stand up."
I took her hand, and lifted myself off the bed, but the second she let go, I fell flat on my face.
"Ow!"
Immediately Michael knelt down to help me and whispered. "What's wrong?"
"I'm used to having wings, they keep me balanced." I whispered back.
He looked at me strangely but helped me back up, Michael still thought I was sorta crazy, that I'd been playing too many video game or something. But he listened to me, he played along, saying "At least it explains the pink hair"
"Doc, she's having trouble with her balance, you think you can bring in some crutches?"
"Yes, of course." and she left to go get them.
"Um, Michael, what's a crutch?"
"Well...they're like an extra pair of legs, you just hold on to them, and they help support your weight...so you don't fall."
The doctor got me the crutches which made it a lot easier to walk, and soon I was released from the hospital. Next thing I knew it was my first day at Kadic Academy.
I walked in through the front gates of Kadic. Now this place I was a bit more familiar with, though just like Michael's family story about Lyoko, time had smudged out the details.
As we walked through the courtyard we got the attention of a particular group of kids who walked over to us.
"Hey Mike, who's the chick?" he stood towering over us
"Oh, hi Biff, I thought I told you not to call me Mike."
"I don't think you heard me, MIKE, who's the chick?" he grabbed Michael by the collar and lifted him a few inches off the ground.
"Um, excuse me..." I tapped Biff on the shoulder. "My name is Alana, and I'd like it very much if you'd leave my friend alone."
"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it girly?"
I smirked "THIS!" and I thrust my palm right onto his chest, making him let go of Michael and fly a few feet.
Unfortunately the principal was watching.
"You must be the new student, miss Schaeffer. There is no fighting at this school, since you are new you will only have one day of detention but next time I won't be so generous. As for you, Mr. Johnson, you and your gang have been trouble before, come with me." and they left.
Some kid came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Detention on your first day, harsh! But thanks for standing up to that guy, he's been picking on all of us for a long time."
I would have said you're welcome but the bell went off which meant we had to get to our class.
"Whoa! Where did you get moves like that!" asked Michael.
"What, that, just basic hand on hand combat, everyone has to learn it in case monsters disable your weapon."
"Oh...well please don't do the whole weapons, combat thing here, it could get you into a lot of trouble."
That was already several hours ago, I went to my classes, served my 2 hours of detention, and retired to my room. It was so different, the night, everything had a different feel to it and I liked it. Sleep was another strange thing about being (somewhat) human, but I liked that to. Come to think of it there were a lot of new experiences to be had here, it was...nice. But I couldn't think anymore the fatigue of a long day overpowered me as I gently drifted into a dream where I was still home, kicking monster butt. Zzzzzzzz.
I wasn't being very creative with the names-
Odd: Yeah tell me about, the bully's name is Biff!
Affa: Oh shut up.
Anyway, working on one story at a time, next up, either Katty Griffin or Kitten Della-Robbia, or both I dunno.
