"Aelita?" Yumi softly whispered, oh so gently sneaking the door open and peering through the crack. The lights were off, and the mellow, orange hue from the evening sky cast upon the snoozing lump in the bed. As she opened the door further, sitting in a chair was a boy who's face had been illuminated by the humming glare of his laptop's screen. He looked at Yumi and pressed his index finger against his lips, urging her to speak quietly. "How long as she been out?" Yumi mumbled through her sleeve as she approached Jeremie in the corner of the room. He was sitting by the window, occasionally peering outside to be sure that he wasn't there.

"About half an hour. It's the longest I've seen her sleep in a while." He spoke without looking away from his computer.

"Still working on the diary?"

"Yes. We're lucky I got as far as I did. Things have slowed down since then, there's a couple entries I'm still missing."

"Ah. Well, Jeremie, I came here to talk to you." She kneeled down by his side so that they were ear-level, and could better hear each other among quiet whispers. Jeremie turned his attention towards the Japanese girl, pressing his glasses upwards as they slid down his sweating nose. Yumi cleared her throught. "We have a problem, Jeremie."

"Are you thinking the same thing I am?"

"About the pregnancy test?"

Jeremie nodded. "So Ulrich came to you, too, then?"

"Uh-huh. And what's worse, he thought I was the one that took it. I don't need him getting more jealous than he already does."

Jeremie rested his finger and thumb against his chin as he tossed the thought around in his head. "He's also onto the fact that it's Aelita's," Jeremie paused. "Unfortunately… he thinks I'm the one who's the reason she took it."

"Oh, this is such a mess," Yumi sank onto her tailbone and buried her face in her palms. "Jeremie, what are we going to do?"

Jeremie closed his laptop and sighed. "I don't know, Yumi. I don't know. Do you think we should tell them?"

"No way."

Jeremie continued to think, but a rapid and loud bang on the door knocked his train of thought off of it's tracks.

"Jeremie, Yumi, we know you're in there!" Odd shouted from the other side, along with Ulrich. Aelita stirred in her sleep and moaned as she crawled out from underneath her blanket.

"What… what's going on?"

Ulrich flung the door open, his breathing heavy and his muscles tense. Odd stood by him gratefully, switching on the light before resting his hand on his hip. Aelita grunted at the stinging of the light and scrunched her weary eyelids.

"You've thrown us a real curve ball, Einstein," Odd sarcastically spat.

"Huh?" Jeremie stood up from the chair, Yumi joining his side. "What are you talking about?"

Ulrich pulled the pregnancy test out of his pocket. "This was in your room, Jeremie. When this was found, the only other girls who had been in your room were Yumi and Aelita. You've been awfully close with both of them lately, and we both know that this test isn't Aelita's."

Aelita stared at the test in Ulrich's hands, her eyes shooting open wide. She certainly was no longer tired. Although she wanted to protest, she couldn't find the right words to say; and so she sat in her bed and stared. Yumi and Jeremie both shared a session of heavy blushing at Ulrich's vulgar and absurd assumption.

"Wait! You think that… that Yumi and I… have?"

Ulrich responded with a cold glare; folding his arms. Odd returned the same gesture.

"That's absolutely ridiculous!" Jeremie defended.

"Gross!" Yumi cried. "Ulrich! How could you honestly believe something like that!?"

"What on Earth is going on!?" Aelita cried out as she raised herself from the bed.

"Aelita, you should probably leave," Odd calmly said to her, attempting to escort her out of the dorm. Aelita angrily took his hand off of her, snapping at Odd.

"No!" She demanded. "This is my room, so I'm not going anywhere! You all have helped yourself into my bedroom while I was sleeping and woken me up with your absurd arguments. Now someone is going to tell me what is going on right now! Ulrich, what is that in your hand!?"

Ulrich blushed. "Um, err, well…"

Aelita stormed over to him and snatched it out of his hand. "Where did you get this?"

"Ask Jeremie." He nudged towards him, and Jeremie furiously folded his arms, scoffing at Ulrich.

"Is it the one I left in your room earlier, Jeremie?"

Jeremie dropped his arms and gaped at Aelita. "Wh…what?"

"Aelita!" Yumi cried, mentally begging her to stop. Aelita smirked and turned towards Ulrich and Odd.

"It's mine. Are you happy? I just wanted to make sure, that's all. It's negative. There's nothing to get so worked up about. I can't believe you honestly thought Jeremie and Yumi…"

"But… Aelita! You? What?!" Odd stuttered, pulling at his hair.

"How do you even know what that is?" Ulrich gawked.

"I may not be human, but I can sure act like one," she winked. "And this is none of your business, so next time, I suggest you avoid snooping around.

"Holy crap" Ulrich and Odd mumbled in unison. Yumi and Jeremie remained speechless.

"Wow! What a scoop!"

All five turned around to see the two familiar little girls standing in the doorway, camera in one hand and journal in the other. The flash went off, catching the astounded and horrified looks of all of the Lyoko warriors.

"Milly! Oh, no! What are you doing here!?" Aelita cried, the stick slipping out of her hand.

"We came by to ask Aelita some questions and figure out why she's been acting so weird lately, and we sure got what we wanted!" Tamiya eagerly replied. "A bun in the oven now that's something our Kadic readers will love to hear!"

"Tamiya NO!" Yumi cried out. "You can't put this in the paper!"

"Why not? This is the best news we've ever had!"

"And who would've thought our very own valedictorian had the nerve? Good going, Jeremie!" Milly happily scribbled in her journal.

"But! I! No!" Jeremie stuttered, his glasses falling off his face. "It's not like that!"

"That's not what this picture says," Tamiya teased as she waved the Polaroid in the air. "This explains why you two have been stuck like glue lately."

Jeremie smacked his hand against his sweating forehead, anxiety rippling through his body. As if the mess wasn't big enough already, it had now become even more catastrophic. Milly and Tamiya winked at the five before skipping down the hallway. The evidence had gotten away from them, and they were all officially screwed over.

Yumi, Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich, and finally Odd, all stood petrified in their positions; frantic eyes locked on the empty door frame. Yumi's sleeves had become sodden with her saliva as she nervously chewed on them. Jeremie was too stunned to pick up his glasses, and the others simply had no idea what to say.

"I am beyond confused," Odd softly spoke, breaking the tenseness of the air.
