Sorry if I took a bit too long to update but I had some trouble with my spare time for this chapter. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 6: New Clothes
Aelita's POV
I was shopping with Yumi. We were on the mall. We were guessing sizes. I knew that Hunter liked black and Angelo blue but Korran would be a trouble. We started down the stores. When we were on the third I saw a white dress just like the one Leiah had. I remembered she would go to school too in a month. I told Yumi and we decided to buy the dress. It was on special for ten dollars so we were happy about that. We had to buy everything cheap. We only had two hundred fifty three to spend. Which one hundred twenty were donated by William. Where does he get so much money?
We bought five black jeans for Hunter, five blue ones for Angelo and five for Korran. Those took us the most money. Jeans are always expensive. Then we went on to buy the shirts on another store. We found them all and by the end of our shopping we had eight dollars and fifty three cents. Yumi and I decided that we deserved ice cream for our work. We made the line and bought the ice cream. Yumi had mint and I had strawberry. We sat at a table and started laughing as we talked about the different dresses we saw through the stores but we couldn't buy. Yumi said that she thought about using as sell money to have enough at the end to buy one but she thought against it. I told her I had the same problem.
"You know, this is the first time I come shopping," I said to Yumi. "My father almost never went to the stores and when he went he told me to stay back at home studing. I took independent courses and my father helped me out. He wasn't ever convinced about the government's way of teaching."
Yumi raised her eyebrows. "Wow, so you didn't have friends?" she asked.
I shook my head. "Only my dolls and well, Angelo, I quite remember him better now. We spoke through my father's computer. I thought it was one of my father's inventions, you know, I was aware dad was a scientist that wanted to revolutionate the world with his technology. We spoke just a few times. It was enough to last on my memories," I said. I sighed. My past life was still between blurs and shadows but I was glad something I have on my memory that I can see clearly.
"So, do you think they will like these?" she asked.
"I know they will," I said cheerfully. "I just hope Korran fits into his shoes. We had a hard time guessing his size."
"Yeah, with his new shoes and the gloves he could pass as a human and find a job," she replied with a smile.
I smirked, "Just hope he gets here what he wanted. I kind of feel sorry for him. You know, his world just seems so different from this one. I hope this world doesn't turn out to be worse for him."
"I hope."
We sighed together, then we started to laugh.
Jeremy's POV
Odd, Ulrich, William and I were waiting for the girls to arrive. It was almost three. That was four hours since they left for shopping. We were at the school's gate. We smiled when we saw them come. "Its about time," Odd said. "Do you know what have we done here? Nothing."
"Calm down Odd," Yumi said. "We were only out for four hours. Don't you spend more time without us when you're sleeping?"
"But sleeping helps pass the time," Odd complained.
Aelita giggled, "You know, Odd, there were lots of pretty girls around the mall that you missed."
"WHAT? Okay, next time you're taking me with you," he said. We all laughed.
"Hey, Odd, maybe if you were wit one for at least a week you wouldn't be so desperate," William said.
"Oh, your just jealous because you haven't had any of the girls in cadic."
"Well at least I'm not the only one without abilities on Lyoko," William said.
"Jeremy, tell him," Odd said.
"Uh, he's telling the truth Odd," I said. Odd turned to me with wide eyes. "I only had time to program the abilities of Ulrich and Yumi. I still haven't programed yours. When I do I'll tell you but until then I will have to think of what the ability will be."
"I can't believe this," Odd said. "I'm gone," he turned around and walked away.
"Dramatic," William said. He looked down the street. "Hm, do we walk to the factory?"
"Well we won't be able to get all these things through our shortcut," Yumi said looking at her bags. "I need three bags. For them to but their clothes in. I was guessing maybe you guys had some."
I nodded, "I have one, Ulrich, William?"
"I have one," he said.
"I'll go get mine," William started walking towards the school. Ulrich and I started down the path. We would meet with the girls on the factory.
I was thinking of whatever Odd's ability would be like. I remember how the last one turned out so this time I have to be extra careful with him. Nothing that involves splitting in two or teleporting or anyhting that may have a side effect of having more than one Odd. And with a phykinetic on the loose I have to gove up with something good.
Odd's POV
This stinks. Even William makes fun of me for not having abilities. He thinks he is so cool just because he can summon pretty much every monster he desires too. Wish I was the one Xanafied instead of him.
What am I saying? I would never want to be under Xana's control even if it was the only way to survive in this world. I'd rather die... On the other hand I guess I could program myself something. I took a computer programing camp not long ago. Just a few years back. I wasn't at all good at it but at least I learned many things and I've been reading that encripted manual Jeremy gave us to understand the super computer. One thing I just have to say: not all cientific words are in the Webster's Dictionary.
Right now I couldn't go to the factory because the others were going there. So in the meantime I'm going to think about what I could do and how I would. I don't really know how to make a program. I would have to take a look at the programs Jeremy made for Ulrich and Yumi to get a start. This'll be tougher than I thought.
Ulright walked into the room and took a suitcase. "Hey Odd, we're going to the factory. Do you want to come?" he asked me.
I was mad at William but I said, "Okay." I stood up and walked out with him. I think the suitcase was for the aliens. Ulrich's suitcase was pretty small so I think it would pass through the sewers.
We met with Jeremy on the hall. We walked down the stairs. William was already on the first floor. We he had a bag on his back. The door on the basement was open so that made it easier. We could say it was a nice trip to the factory. The problem was on the ladder. We had to get all our things up.
We into the elevator after fifteen minutes. One thing I'm never doing in my life: use the sewers as the cadic metroline for delivery.
Angelo, Hunter and Korran was waiting for us on the scanner room already dressed on their new clothes. Hunter was dressed in black with skiny black jeans and black sneakers. Not that it has an effect on me put her looks pretty tough.
Angelo had a blue shirt with white sleeves and blue and white sneakers. He looked like William's negative. Korran on the other hand was dressed in a black botton down shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows making his muscles show more. He was waring blue jeans and sneakers that didn't show his claw-like nails and with his leather gloves on he looked like a human. You couldn't tell he had claws for nails if you didn't see them.
"Korran, you look pretty human now," Ulrich said. Korran smirked and looked down at his bag of clothes. I don't know how the girls could have bought so much with so little.
"When will we be going to your school?" Angelo asked.
Jeremy smiled. "Tomorrow at nine. It will be Sunday so we have the day off. That way we can show you the school and the area."
Hunter nodded, "That would be great."
"Uh, what can you tell me about work here?" Korran asked us.
"You want to find a work?" Yumi asked. He nodded. She smiled, "Ulrich and I will help you with that."
Korran sighed. "Thanks, the sooner the better. I want to be able to provide for Leiah and Xohan," he said.
"What is your educational level?" Ulrich asked.
"I already said, I never went to school on Xohan."
"He is twenty one years old and studied three University years majoring in agronomy and education," Jeremy said quoting the words.
"Great combination Einstein," I said sarcastically. I understand agronomy but education? Korran hadn't even gone to school. He only knows about construction.
"Uh, education?" Ulrich asked totally not convinced.
"Yeah, I have to change that for something else. What are you strenghs?" Jeremy inquired Korran.
Korran rolled his eyes. "Construction, gardening, anything that doesn't has to do with numbers and letters," he said.
"But don't you have to count everything you have to do on Xohan? Like cutting and where the floor will end?" William asked.
"That wasn't my job. My job was to cut and carry and all the hard work," he said. "Uh, if you show me some basics I could learn, I learn fast. Maybe I could do more."
"I will take care of that," Yumi said. "Ulrich, I need your help with this."
"I don't want to interrupt but can I go see Leiah and my child?"
"Sure, we will take you," Ulrich said. They walked to the elevator.
"We will like to go too," Angelo said and walked up with them. I guess William, Aelita and Jeremy went with them. I stayed leaning against the wall. Everyone was too occupied speaking with each other to notice that I was left back.
As soon as the doors closed a grin appeared acroos my face. Its time for action now. I turned and walked to the ladder that lead to the control room of Lyoko.
Nurse's POV
I was just going out to make a check on Leiah when I saw a group of children running towards me with a twenty year old man. It took me a few seconds to identify him as Korran and the warriors of Lyoko. I have to confess that I still get the chills every time I think about this virtual world and the aliens but I had two at home so I tried my best to get used to it. I was just worried about these children. What if the government finds out about them?
I pushed my thoughts away when they arrived to me. It was obvious that Korran was controlling himself to not run as fast as I guess he could.
"You want to see Leiah and the baby?" I asked with a smile.
He nodded, "Yes."
"I will take you then. Um, I can't take all of you, though," I said looking at the other eight children in front of me. "Angelo, Hunter and Yumi," I said remebering the names. I chose Yumi beause she didn't sleep in the dorms like the others and if someone of the school saw me they had less to talk about.
We got into my car that rested on the other side of the street. The engine roared into life. I remeber Leiah asking me yesterday if this poluted the planet. I said yes and she told me how these vehicles had been prohibided after twenty species almost disappeared by polution in her planet. I said I was also against polution and that I used my car as less as I could.
I wasn't surprised when Korran started asking how these things worked. What I was suprised about was how they had changed. They all were wearing new clothes. They look much better now. Totally human beings.
I decided to leave this chapter here. I already have the big idea of what the next chapter will be like. I'll start it on Odd. If anyone wants to review you are free. I love reviews. If not I'm okay with it anyway. Sorry if you found grammar errors, I didn't have time to check it out since I had already taken too much time on writing this chapter. I'll start the next chapter today and probably have it up in the next few days.
Just so you all know I won't be sending the Lyoko warriors into the virtual world on all the chapters but there will be some times when they stay on Lyoko for a few chapters on a row.
