((Xanta freak: Sorry this took so long! I've been having too much fun Roleplaying on Tumblr to get a chance to write. ^-^))
Jean Pierre Delmas' POV:
Jean sighed and clicked away nonchalantly at the mouse. He had been trying to beat this darn head flick game. He still has yet o get passed the penguin stage. The sound of the phone going off pulled him away from the screens.
"Kadic Academy, Jean Pierre Delmas speaking." He answered the usual way he always have.
"Mr. Delmas? This is Mr. Belpois, Jeremie's father." The voice answered back form the other side.
"Ah, ! Yes, what can I do for you today?"
"Well, the plant nursery my wife owes is starting to get really busy. So we are, unfortunately, need Jeremie's help in running it. He'll be out of school for a few weeks. I'm sure you understand sir."
"Oh yes, I understand. I'll have the teachers keep a copy of his homework aside for when he comes back. Er, by the way...do you guys sell lilies?"
"Er, I don't think we set some space aside this year for some. If I may ask, why do you need lilies?"
"There for my daughter, Elizabeth. Her birthday is coming up."
"I understand...you could try the Lei Sale nursery. They usually keep some in their greenhouses."
"I think I will...thank you for this little chat, Mr. Belpois. Let Jeremie know that he will be welcomed back when he is done helping out. There is no doubt in my mind that our top student will be able to get right back into the swing of school."
"I will, and many thanks for understanding. Goodbye sir."
"Er, yeah...Goodbye." He placed the phone back down and went back to his game. He made a mental note to get the lilies for the teachers and hold her daughter.. Er... lilies for his daughter and hold onto Jeremie's homework for him.
Aelita's POV:
Aelita sighed as she put down the earpiece attached to Jeremie's computer. She turned and smiled up at her friends.
"I guess it is a good thing that Jeremie's parents nursery really is busy!" She joked to the all nodded their heads.
"Now that is settled...what next?" Ulrich asked. Aelita rested her hand onto her chin while she began to think.
If I may suggest, Aelita? Why not do something...normal for a Saturday afternoon. There is that mall trip in a half an hour? Why not pretend to get in some shopping to clear your head. I']m sure that when you get there, XANA will send me the feed of the security cameras. I'll be able to keep an eye out for you so you can relax. You look a bit tense and stress.
Jeremie's thoughts entered into her own. She internally smiled at him.
Says the boy who is the definition of too much stress... She joked back at him as she turned to face her friends.
"Well, I know I could use a little shopping time! Jim has the bus leaving soon for a mall trip." She smiled up at them as they nodded their heads. Aelita got up and walked over to Jeremie's dresser. She opened up his sock drawer and pulled out a few euros.
"It'll be...Jeremie's treat to all of us!" She joked, showing the money to her friends. They all laugh at her.
HEY! Grrr... I'm going to need to find a new hiding spot when I do get back...IF I get back...
"Who knew that Einstein can't keep any secrets from you Princess. Not to mentin the fact that he folds his socks" Odd joked.
Aelita...remind him I can still send him to the digital sea...
Aelita laugh and headed to the door. "C'mon now...before Jeremie's annoyance starts to get to me."
What could possible go wrong during a simple mall trip? Would XANA really go so low as to attack them there? Possibly... Find out next time I update! ((IT will be sooner than the wait you had to endure!))
