Recollecting Memories- Part 1

"Weirdo!" they shouted.

"Freak!" they lashed out.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" they mocked.

Several older and bigger boys surrounded a small child. She was backed against the wall of a dead end, bruises beginning to form on her body. Tears ran down her dirt covered face as she prayed to what ever divine force was listening that the boys would just go away; that they would just leave her alone.

She wondered what her chances of actually coming out of this without any too noticeable wounds would be. She didn't want to worry him though it had been months since she had last seen him. He had probably forgotten about her. Everyone eventually did.

"Hey!" one of the boys yelled grabbing on to her arms and pushing her hard against the wall. "Haven't you heard to speak when you're spoken too?"

She didn't respond. She couldn't.

Angered, the boy pulled her away from the wall and tossed her to the ground. She tried to push herself up but one of the boys put his foot down on her back, crushing her back down to the ground.

She bit her lip as she was kicked onto her back, staring up at the cloudy night sky. "No one will save me," she thought sadly as she let her body become numb to the harsh beatings she was getting from the boys. "He won't save me…"

Suddenly, the beating stopped as the boys were thrown back from off her. Her body was sore so she couldn't move it very well though she was able to move her head. She heard a small ringing of a bell followed by beating noises and cries of pains though this time they were coming from the boys who had attacked her.

"Tara, are you okay?" a rose hair girl asked hovering over her before she turned her head to look over her shoulder as she heard another female voice shout.

"What? You don't like how it feels to be beat up?" a brownish-red hair girl shouted, a brunette hair girl standing next to her as the boys scrambled to their feet to get away. The boys were all badly bruised and some were sure they had some ribs broken.

The red head stood rigid until she was sure that all the boys were gone before relaxing and turning to the beaten girl.

"Sitara, you shouldn't be out here so late," she said in a soft voice reserved only for people she cared about.

"Yeah," the brunette said, "we wouldn't have been able to have found you if we hadn't been tipped off."

"Tipped off?" the beaten girl thought to herself before she felt herself being pulled to her feet. She bit back her lip as she tried to hold back the pain she was feeling but she couldn't help but look appreciatively at the three girls helping her. "Thank you Cassie, Brooke, Zoey," she thought as the girls helped her to walk. As they walked down the deserted streets the beaten girl caught a shadowy figure standing on top of a roof near them. She smiled slightly as the figure disappeared in a blink of an eye. "Thank you too."

CODE TWILIGHT

Musa gasped as she bolted up awake in cold sweat. She placed her hand on her furiously pounding heart. Her mind tried to block out the images of her dream. It was the same dream she always had. She was stuck in the tube, the men in white jackets surrounding her, Hopper bearing witness yet not doing anything to help and then…nothing. Nothing except red.

She took a deep breath as she ran her hands through her hair. She looked across her room. Sitara was still peacefully asleep in the extra bed the hotel had put in the room.

"It's just a dream," the wolf A.I. whispered to herself before shivering slightly. She turned towards the window to find that it was opened. She stepped out of bed and walked towards the window. "Sitara must have opened it and forgotten to close it," she murmured to herself. She took a brief glance at the peaceful mountain view illuminated in the moon's soft glow before closing the window.

She didn't notice the presence of the shadowy figure looking at her from the hidden view of a nearby tree…

CODE TWILIGHT

"You two love making my life a living hell don't you," Jeremy murmured, arms crossed.

"Aww! Don't be that way, Jer," Cascada pouted while once again sketching something in her sketch pad.

"Yeah," Musa joined in, pouting too. "We love you future brother-in-law!"

Jeremy chocked on his orange juice, taking the offered glass of water Aelita had offered to him. A light blush was on his cheeks and the two A.I. were smiling wickedly.

"You two should stop messing with Jeremy," Aelita chastised her sisters.

"Sorry, Aelita," both girl said simultaneously looking down guiltily though they were both laughing internally at their little stunt.

Sitara smiled as she looked around her table of new friends. It was the next day and the group of friends was eating breakfast, enjoying the meal though she noticed Jeremy seemed anxious for some reason.

"Tara!" a hyper voice shouted out as a bell rang before the mute girl felt arms wrap around her from behind.

"Zoey, I don't think she can breathe," Cassie said coming up behind the rose colored hair girl, Brooke following.

"Well, if it isn't our little rule breaker," Brooke said noticing Musa. "I see you have some other little rascals that we'll have to watch out for," she said with a friendly smile.

Musa smiled back. "It's nice to see you three again," she said before noticing that the three young women were not in their uniforms but in casual clothes.

Cassie and Brooke were both wearing black sweaters and pants though Cassie had a vibrant red skirt and belt hanging from her hips while Brooke had a silver chain going from her belt loop to her back pocket and was wearing a black leather jacket. Zoey, unlike her two friends was wearing a pink sweater with jeans that had doodles down the leg.

"Going to a funeral or going out on a ride on your Harley?" Cascada asked raising a questioning brow at Cassie and Brooke's dark outfits.

"No," Brooke said. "But I might as well be going to a funeral since those clothes you're wearing are so last year."

Cascada grinned, as did Brooke. "I like this girl," they said simultaneously.

"Freaky," Zoey said hiding behind Cassie.

"Aren't you going to introduce us?" the plant A.I. asked her sister.

"Oh yeah!" Musa said rubbing the back of her neck in embarrassment. "This is Brooke, Cassie, and Zoey. They're friends of Sitara."

"You three look older then us," Yumi observed.

"Yeah, are you still in high school?" Ulrich asked.

"No," Cassie said shaking her head. "We actually go to a university near Paris but during the summer holidays we like to come here and work."

"The pay is good and all the good stuff happens around this time," Brooke said.

"What kind of stuff?" William asked.

Brooke shrugged. "It's different every year but usually there are a couple of dances for the guest and a few fashion shows."

"Fashion shows?" Cascada asked curious.

Zoey nodded enthusiastically. "Yep, and sometimes if a model can't make it, they ask someone from the hotel staff to fill in. Last time Brooke, Cassie, and I all got to be in it."

"Who exactly are in these fashion shows?" Odd asked taking a break from eating his seventh plate of eggs and bacon. For some reason, Musa noticed that he was stiff.

"Like we said before," Brooke sighed, "it changes every year. Usually it's just amateur designers but sometimes notable designers come to check out the "new meat", so to say and see if any of them would be a contribution to their designs."

"Well this is all very interesting," Jeremy said standing up. "But we need to go."

"Fine," Cassie shrugged. "We just stopped by to ask Sitara if she wanted to hang out with us."

Sitara looked at her new friends to see if they would mind. "Go ahead," Aelita smiled seeing the girl's uncertain look. "What Jeremy has planned for us won't be interesting at all."

"Aelita!" Jeremy said slightly hurt before the pink hair girl gave him a peck on the cheeks instantly lightening his moods.

"Yay!" Zoey said happily as she pulled Sitara to her feet. "This is so great! We can finally have time to catch up," she said dragging the mute girl out of the eating room.

"Well, I guess we'll bump into you guys later," Cassie grinned before walking off with Brooke who gave a lazy wave over her shoulder in farewell.

"Now that they're gone," Jeremy said, "Let's find the supercomputer," he said getting up. The rest of the Lyoko gang got up too except for Musa, Cascada, and Aelita. "What are you three waiting for?" Jeremy asked.

"Do you really think it's that easy," Cascada said crossing her arms, her voice and expression serious.

"What are you talking about?" Yumi asked.

"Do you have any idea where exactly the location of the supercomputer is?" Musa asked, also looking as stoic as her sister.

"We thought you two knew," Odd frowned.

"Then you thought wrong," Cascada said flatly.

"What?" Jeremy asked enraged.

"Don't blame them," Aelita said. "They were stuck inside the supercomputer all the time my family lived here." For some reason, Musa wanted to say that that wasn't true though she didn't know why. "So it's not their fault. It's mine," she said softly biting her lip. "I can't…I can't remember where…" A tear rolled down the pink hair girl's face and Jeremy was instantly at her side comforting her.

"It's okay," Jeremy said trying to comfort her. "I didn't mean to upset you, Aelita. I just-"

"Let's give them some room," Cascada said getting up along with Musa and leaving the two alone as the rest if the Lyoko gang left the eating room.

Jeremy was nervous but he pushed that feeling aside to give his full attention to Aelita. The pink hair girl wasn't crying but he could see the tears building up in her eyes. He looked around the crowded eating room. This wasn't the best place to have a heart felt talk.

"Come on," he said gently tugging on her hand to get her to her feet. "Let's go somewhere else."

Aelita was slightly surprised but nodded her head, following him as he led her back upstairs.

Musa sighed as she watched her younger sister be led by the blonde whiz kid. She turned to Odd who was staring at the koi swimming around in the pound. She giggled as she saw the boy make faces fish faces at the fish.

"What are you laughing about?" the eccentric blonde asked a grin on his face as the wolf A.I. skipped over to him.

"You," she said tapping him on the nose with her finger.

"Really?" the boy asked grinning, raising a brow.

"So what am I now," he asked. "Am I a clown? Am I amusing? Do I make you laugh?"

"Of course," the girl laughed.

"I'm good with that then," Odd grinned embracing her.

"Egen, you make life interesting," Musa said contently.

"I know. If it weren't for me the world would be a dull, dull place," the boy said putting a hand to his forehead dramatically and looking away.

"Drama queen," Musa rolled her eyes.

"Well to hold that title first I would have to be a girl," Odd said counting off on his fingers. "And though I know I look fantastic whether I'm a girl or a boy I prefer being a boy. And two," he said holding up two fingers, "that title belongs to Sissi."

"Really?" Utada asked. "I always thought she held the title of Annoying Brat."

"Oh, she does," Odd said, "but you want to know something?"

"What?" the bi-color hair girl asked.

"You definitely win the title of the Most Fantastic Beautiful Girlfriend Around."

"Awwww," Musa coed. "You want more food but you ran out of money, don't you?"

"Oh my gosh! You're also psychic too! I hit the jack-pot!" Odd said in acting playfully surprise.

"Come on," Musa sighed, though still smiling as she led the boy back to the eating room. Suddenly, she stopped, gasping slightly as she swayed.

"Musa!" Odd said grabbing on to her.

A large cabin surrounded by pine trees and snow. A hotel being built nearby...

"Musa!" Odd said once again as the girl's eyes fluttered opened.

"I know where it is," she murmured before collapsing.

CODE TWILIGHT

Yumi and Ulrich walked around the hotel aimlessly. They could have left and gone skiing with the others but they didn't want to be too far if the others did finally decide to go look for the supercomputer.

"So," Ulrich said shoving her hands in his pockets, "have you talked to your parents?"

The Japanese girl sighed as she led them over to a couch in the hotel's lobby, away from the crowd and somewhat secluded. "I've talked to my dad," she said, "but my mom…I've talked to her but it's been kind of tense lately. What the heck, it's been tense talking to both of them. Neither of them were willing to grow up and talk to the other about their problems in a civilized manner. It's sad," she said sounding frustrated. "I know that at this point their chance of actually getting back together is slim but…couldn't they at least try to come to some agreement, if not for them, at least for Hiroki and me."

"I'm sure they'll figure something out," Ulrich said comfortingly though he always felt weird talking about this type of stuff. Family stuff. He didn't feel like he had a right to tell someone else about their family when he himself was hardly getting along with his.

"Hopefully," she sighed, leaning her head on his shoulder, causing a light blush to grace his features. "So…what about you?"

"What about me?" the brunette asked hoping he could easily change the subject.

"Ulrich," the Japanese girl said looking him in the eye. "You know you can tell me anything right?"

"I know," he smiled though it seemed somewhat sad, "but, there's some things that I just have to handle alone. I don't like to talk about it. Too depressing. Besides, I don't want to bore you with all my dad's lectures about being lazy and a slacker."

"You're definitely not a slacker," Yumi said smiling to herself as she remembered Ulrich shirtless. The lithe muscles that were on him definitely didn't come from being lazy.

"That really means a lot coming from you," he said softly as he wrapped an arm around her.

CODE TWILIGHT

"So…."

"So…."

"What do you want to do?" Cascada asked. The shaggy hair teen before her merely shrugged.

"What do you want to do?" he asked repeating her question.

"If I knew I would have already told you," the strawberry blonde sighed. "He's being indifferent again," she thought sadly. "Will-" she began but was cut off when she felt something bump into her leg.

She looked down to see a small pair of dark eyes staring up at her. She took a step back to further evaluate what had run into her. It was a young child, around two or three, with a mop of dark hair. The child looked up at the blonde curiously, tilting his head to the side. Finally he let out a chorus of giggles, his small hands reaching out towards her.

For some reason, Cascada found herself kneeling in front of the child with a soft smile on her face. "Well aren't you cute?" she asked softly. "Where are your parents?"

"Oh I'm sorry!" a woman said rushing over to the child, picking him up in her arms causing the child to let out another squeal of pleasure.

"That's okay," Cascada said still smiling. "He's cute, anyway."

"Thank you," the mother smiled before walking away.

The plant A.I. watched as the small child wave to her before his mother turned the corner, making them disappear from sight.

She felt a pair of arms slip around her waist and she relaxed instantly knowing it was William. "I didn't know you were so good with kids."

"Me either," Cascada sighed turning her head up so she could look at him. Bags were beginning to form under his eyes and he looked slightly pale. "Are you okay?" she asked softly putting a hand on his cheek.

"I'm okay," he said smiling to try and put her at ease. "I just couldn't sleep without my rose," he said placing a soft kiss on her cheek.

Cascada rolled her eye. "Don't go all mushy on me, Dunbar," she growled before looking down sadly. "Besides, even when I'm with you, you still seem to be in so much pain."

"I'm fine, Cas," William said with a tone of finality in his voice. The plant A.I. frowned but didn't pursue the topic much longer. She wanted him to tell her his problems on his own.

"Fine," she sighed. "I hope you're right," she thought before she grimaced. Her head all of the sudden began to throb.

… A fork in the road. Right. Secluded from the skiers. A beautiful view of the town below…

"Cascada?" William asked concerned.

"I know where it is," the plant A.I. whispered before fainting.

CODE TWILIGHT

"So…" Aelita began nervously as Jeremy led her to his room. The boys were lucky and didn't have someone outside of the group sharing the suite with them. "What did you want to show me?"

"Well," the blonde computer whiz said taking out his laptop. "I was going through some of the CDs Musa had copied, you know, the ones that I was able to access without the supercomputer and I think I found something promising."

"Really," the oink hair girl asked curious. She walked towards the bed where he was sitting and sat next to him. She rested her head on his shoulder as she looked at the screen. The glow of the computer hid Jeremy's blush luckily. "What have you found?"

"Well, um, you know how with the replicas we were able to transform your Lyoko forms onto the location of the supercomputers on Earth?"

"Yeah," the pink hair girl nodded, urging him to go on.

"Well from what I gathered so far," Jeremy said bringing up a diagram of a satellite on his screen, "we might be able to do that same thing without having to be close to a supercomputer and without going to Lyoko."

"So you mean…" the pink hair girl said thoughtfully.

"I mean that with the right supplies and stuff, I might be able to create something that will allow you guys to be able to have all your Lyoko powers intact while you're on Earth without the need of using a scanner or going to Lyoko," the blonde said smiling proudly before frowning. "But, in order for me to even get half the work that's needed for this we need to access a supercomputer."

Aelita's once happy and hopeful face turned depressed. "I know. I-I just can't think of anything. Just fuzzy images," she sighed putting her head in her hands. "You would think that after all this time I would have gained back most of my memories," she murmured.

"You have!" Jeremy said putting his laptop aside. "You have made tremendous strides, Aelita. Don't beat yourself up because of this. We'll figure something out. We have the whole summer!" he said trying to sound optimistic for her sake.

"But how long do we have before the government comes? How long do we have before this new threat makes its first move? How long will it take for us to find my parents?" the pink hair girl cried.

"Oh Aelita," Jeremy sighed pulling her close to him in a loving embrace. He didn't blush. He knew this felt right. He knew he liked her, a lot. He would do anything for her. He just wanted to see his princess happy.

The pink hair girl sniffed as she held on tighter to the blonde, letting silent tears fall. Though they had made no real progress she felt as if a weight had been lifted. She smiled as she readjusted herself in his embrace.

"Like I said before," Jeremy whispered softly in her ear, causing shivers to go down her back, "you're not alone. Never." Aelita smiled before her head began to throb. She raised her hand to her head to massage the ache but it didn't seem to go away.

…A large study room, filled with books. Occupied one moment, emptied the next…

"-lita! Aelita!" Jeremy said worriedly as the girl became un-respondent. The girl suddenly moaned shaking her head as she tried to get her thought straight. "Thank goodness, Aelita. I was so worried!"

The pink hair girl didn't respond to the boy's worries. Instead she said, before becoming unconscious, "I know where it is. I know where the supercomputer is."

Somewhere else…

"Do you think that was wise helping them remember?" the female asked.

"If I did not interfere then they would have been at a standstill. The progress of this operation wouldn't be able to progress. Besides, the barriers that hide the truth must come down sometimes," the male next to her said. "In war sometimes you must first help your enemies in order to defeat them…"

"Your logic makes no sense," the female said.

"I wouldn't expect you of all people to understand," the male said cooly.

Okay, so here it is. The next chapter. Sorry if the part between Odd and Musa seemed kind of...weird. Once agian, that was my attempt at being funny. Anyway, I know it seems like nothing serious is happening yet, but it will soon and once it does there will be few funny momments. I think compared to Code Moon this story is going to be a little bit more serious so, you were warned.

The male and female at the end are the same ones from the end of Code Moon. They'll be rveiled later but not yet. Remeber, every character so far plays in this story plays an important part. It's weird, I was thinking about the final plot while in the grocery store with my mom. (Weird. I always get ideas when I am school or shopping). While I was thinking, I realized that the story could go two possible ways when it comes to a certain point. Thankfully, I'm not at that point yet so I still have time to think about it. One way, I think would probably help me as a writer but I don't want to drag this story on longer then need be. Anyway, no worries! I'll figure it out!

Um...I was going to say something else but...I forgot...lol! Um...though I know this isn't what I wanted to say, check out my videos on YouTube. I'm called EvanescentDream93 there. There's a link to it on my profile here. Really cool if you could check them out an leave a comment. I'm really thinking of working with film if the writing career idea doesn't work out. Writing, music, movies. That is my life. Sad but true.

For the people I still owe oneshots to, I'm still working on them. Please just be patient.

Anyway, nothing more to say so...PLEASE REVIEW!
