"Hi Aelita!" said Yumi as the girl placed herself in the table with her food.
"Hi Yumi!" answered her, very excited "Hey, what happens, why are you so happy?"
Aelita thought for a moment and decided to tell her what happened the day before.
"Wow, quite a night!" said Yumi after Aelita finished "Yeah... very entertaining"
"Do you have any other plans with Odd?" asked Yumi "Not really... I don't have so many ideas, but if he has one, I'll surely accept it" Her friend smiled.
'Hey, she seems a lot happier now'
Ulrich and Odd were walking in the yard when they noticed a lot of people gathering near the gym.
"Hey, what's up?" asked Ulrich to Yumi, who was already there. Odd also greeted Aelita with a kiss on her cheek.
"Seems like 'FGJ' is coming to play a concert!" FGJ! The famous band! In Kadic!
"Okay, so, shall we go in?" asked Odd. The gang entered the gym and sat near the stage.
After 10 minutes, the band appeared onstage with all their instruments and stuff. They played a song from their new album 'Scenes from Amedhi'
Everyone began screaming and clapping to the music. The concert lasted for an hour and they played 9 songs.
'Hey, music is very interesting and exciting' thought Aelita.
"I think that the drummer was the best, he kept the tempo and had to play with all four limbs!" said Ulrich after exiting the gym.
"Nah, the guitarist seemed amazing playing those licks and sweeps like nothing!" said Odd.
"And the bassist? He played with an amazing soul and groove, and his solo was outstanding!" said Aelita.
"The singer was also very good. He had very good pitch and his tone was soft and mellow" added Yumi.
They went to the forest, seeking peace and rest from school.
"Being sincere, I think that we can play a lot better than these guys if we try" said Odd, trying to make his friends remember the band that they had.
"Odd, we haven't played for years. I may sing sometimes, but not to perform" said Yumi.
"Yeah, I think that I haven't touched the keyboard since that practice with Jim" added Ulrich.
"You guys had a band?" asked Aelita innocently. They all laughed "Yes, we did have one. But... why didn't we kept playing? We weren't that bad" said Yumi.
"And... what about if we make a new band? I really liked the concert and I was thinking, it might be a lot more exciting to play the music" suggested Aelita. Odd smiled to her.
"I support her opinion, what do you think guys?" Ulrich and Yumi agreed to reunite as a new band.
"Aelita, do you really want to get into the beautiful world of music?" said Odd as he handled a big box in his hands. They were in Odd and Ulrich's room.
"Yes, I do" They both laughed "So, Aelita Stones, I name you official bassist of the Kiwi's!" said Odd cheerfully as he opened the box and revealed a 6 string bass.
"Wow it's... it's..." She stopped for a moment "Thanks..." an idea came to her mind and she blushed. But she resisted.
"May I teach you how to play?" asked Odd "Yes, please" answered Aelita. She was very excited to begin.
After putting the strap on the bass, and connecting it to a small practice amplifier that Odd had, the session began.
"Ok Aelita, I won't overwhelm you with music theory now, but I will teach you were are the notes... Let me take... um... your hand" he said, a bit nervous. He took her hand and guided her through the bass neck. "Look, over here is C, the first note that you will play. Put your finger here, and play the string with your other hand..." As Aelita was very nervous and couldn't do this at first, Odd took her other hand and plucked with it. He had now both of her hands taken, and he was behind her, almost hugging her, if it wasn't for the bass. Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. He kissed Aelita's neck very softly. At first, she seemed a bit nervous and tense, but then Aelita relaxed and let him kiss her.
She moaned in pleasure and took Odd's hands very firmly. "Odd, what..." she couldn't even speak.
'I hope I won't regret this' He kept travelling across her neck, caressing her hands with his thumb softly. Time seemed to pass really slow as they entered a state of full joy.
None of them knew exactly how much time passed, but it was quite evident that it was a lot.
"Odd, are you ready to...?" Ulrich couldn't finish his words 'Oh no! I did it again. Odd's gonna kill me'
Immediately after the boy arrived to the room, the couple let go of each other. They didn't say anything, but their faces obviously spoke for themselves.
"Aelita, I..." said Odd, just before she escaped from the room.
"Ulrich, you were all right... I didn't have to do anything stupid. Now I've screwed up everything. Aelita and Jeremie will never speak to me again..." He let a tear fall from his eyes.
His friend got closer to him and gave him a hug. Maybe the first time he did this. Odd now felt better, he knew that his friend would be there to help him.
"Odd, do you like her?" Odd's mind began working like never. He remembered every moment that they had passed together, in Lyoko and in the real world. The times she had help him, the times he had saved her from X.A.N.A, the times they have been together just for fun...
It had been an amazing and exciting adventure of pure friendship. But it was over now 'What can I lose now?'
"Yes Ulrich. I'm in love with Aelita"
