Code Lyoko Prequel Part 2
Author: James the Lesser
This is just something to do for my Code Lyoko Story. Original characters and story are owned by Moonscoop.
This is just a scene between Aelita and Yumi soon after finding her/Super Computer.
Jeremie is in his room with Yumi. "Aelita, are you there?" A screen comes up on his computer monitor.
"Of course Jeremie. Hello Yumi."
"Hi Aelita." Yumi isn't sure why she was asked to Jeremie's room but she was always happy to see Aelita. Yumi wasn't sure what to think of her. Aelita was a girl, wasn't she? But she was a computer program. Aelita was fascinating being so innocent. Odd had trouble with some of his jokes because Aelita didn't know what he would be talking about.
"Aelita I said I'd have Yumi talk to you about some things and here she is. Remember what I asked you not to talk about?" Aelita nods. "Ok, um, I'll leave you two alone then."
"Wait, so I'm just going to talk to her? Jeremie I have homework and stuff."
"I'll do your math homework Yumi. Aelita has questions I can't answer." Jeremie blushes just remembering Aelita talking about them. "Um, call me when you're done." Jeremie leaves his room as Yumi sits down at the computer chair.
"Well Aelita what is it you want to talk about?"
"I was talking with Jeremie and he said there were questions you could answer better than he. He said you knew more about how life started. Is that true?"
"Uh, maybe." He didn't, did he? I'll kill him! "What did he tell you?"
"That life starts in a woman, in the stomach. And that a man helps but he wouldn't explain how. I asked if it was like when whoever made the Super Computer then put Lyoko, Xana, and myself inside and he said no. I am confused."
"Well uh," Yumi starts to blush.
"I am embarrassing you? I am sorry."
"Well it is uh, embarrassing but I, well, I'll be right back." Yumi leaves Jeremie's room and goes to Ulrich and Odd's room. She knocks on the door.
"Come in." She opens the door and sees Ulrich working on his homework. "What is it Yumi?"
"Do you have your health book?"
"Yeah, forget yours?"
"Kind of." Yumi waits for Ulrich to get it out. He hands it to Yumi and Yumi goes back to Jeremie's room.
"Hello Yumi, a book?"
"Yes Aelita this is called a Health Book. It explains things like how the human body works." Yumi goes through the table of contents to find what chapter she needed. "Ok, uh, Aelita here just look at the diagrams." Yumi holds the book up to the screen. "Can you see them?"
"Yes." Aelita reads through the pages and looks at the diagrams. "I am finished with this page." Yumi turns the page and Aelita continues to read. "I am done." Yumi turns the page. They continue this until Aelita is done with the chapter. "So that is how life starts?"
"Yes." Yumi puts the book down. "Um, I hope that helps."
"Very strange. And why do humans do this? No, that's not right." Aelita tries to think of the correct words. "Why do humans choose to do this, with, another person? No, how do they choose?"
"I think you're trying to ask how someone chooses a person to do this with?" Aelita nods. "Well if you like someone a lot, love them, and you've been dating for awhile you might do that. But you don't usually have a baby until you're ready since you can use things to keep from uh, starting life."
"Dating? Like? Jeremie likes you and Ulrich and Odd, as you like them and they like you. But you do not do that do you?"
"No! Of course not!" Yumi blushes a bright red. "It's different. There's friendship and family and then there's more."
"Family, related, Jeremie says he is related to his mother and father because he came from his mother and his father helped. Is that what he meant?" Yumi nods. "So my creator would be like my father?"
"I guess you could call them that. It could have been a woman that made you. She might even have thought of you as a daughter."
"Maybe. I would like to know who created me and Xana, Lyoko, the Super Computer. Maybe they could help us defeat Xana."
"Or Xana already got them."
"Which makes the most sense. No logical person would allow Xana to stay and attack Earth. They would be dead as in their brain no longer sent out signals correct?"
"Uh, yeah. Your heart stops beating and you stop breathing."
"Heart, this place." Aelita puts a hand over her chest but on the right.
"No more over here." Yumi puts a hand over her heart. "It pumps blood through out your body. Without it you die."
"So death is more then the brain not sending signals?"
"Yes, sort of. I mean, there are many ways to die and your heart stopping is one of them. But I guess you aren't really dead until your brain stops working."
"That is what Xana is trying to do to you and your friends. Are you mad that you found me? Do you regret finding me?"
"No Aelita. I'm glad you contacted Jeremie. Someone had to stop Xana and if its us then it will be us."
"Ok Yumi. Thank you Yumi."
"No problem Aelita."
"I was wondering, I have heard Odd and Ulrich talking. The time you were the target of Xana's attack and Odd was asking Ulrich when he was going to ask you out. What does that mean, ask you out? Can you not go outside unless someone asks you too first?" Yumi blushes. "I'm sorry it is something embarrassing."
"I, it's not that. I just, Ulrich and I are just friends."
"And friends do not go outside together?"
"No, I mean, they do, Aelita asking someone out is more about dating then friendship."
"Oh yes dating. When you like someone as more then a friend or family you date them. Hold hands, hug, and kiss. Jeremie tried explaining these things to me. Maybe you know more about them. He said when you hold hands it is not like this." Aelita puts her hands together as if she was praying.
"No it is about holding the other persons hand not your own."
"Oh, and hugging?"
"Well, wait one second." Yumi goes to Jeremie's bed and grabs a pillow. "When you hug someone it can mean a lot of things. It can be done between family members, friends, or people who are dating." Yumi hugs the pillow. "You don't want to squeeze to tight though." Yumi sets it down on the floor.
"And kissing? Jeremie said people who liked each other, dated, did that. I asked him why and he said it probably felt good."
"It doesn't feel that good."
"You have kissed someone then?" Yumi blushes a little.
"Well I, it was last year, back in Japan." Yumi thinks about the boy she had been friends with before her family moved to France. "Don't tell Jeremie ok Aelita? Our little secret."
"Ok Yumi. Little secret, how do you judge the size of a secret?"
"It's just a saying Aelita. Some secrets like that don't really mean much. They aren't a big deal. Keeping you and the Super Computer a secret is a big secret because if someone else found out about you they might turn the Super Computer off."
"So, the difference is the size of the action that would follow?"
"I guess, yes that sounds right."
"Thank you Yumi for talking with me. I am sure you and your friends are busy with school."
"We can be but I have time. Anything else you want to know about?"
"What is it like to sleep? I watched Jeremie sleep last night and he told me he was dreaming. What is it like to dream?"
"Well, to sleep is well, something you need to do. You need about eight hours a day or you will feel tired."
"Tired? What does it feel like to be tired?"
"Well, you're tired. You won't move as fast, you'll yawn a lot. You might have a hard time doing normal things because you'll be distracted by being tired."
"And sleep, dreams?"
"Dreaming can be a lot of things. I don't usually remember mine. But they can be wild imaginative or they can be scary."
"Jeremie said his dreams were scary because they were of Xana attacking. Do his attacks scare you?"
"The last one did. I haven't really been a target until then. But you deactivated the Tower and a return was launched."
"Do you think the others regret finding me?"
"No Aelita. I think Jeremie is glad you contacted him."
"Not Jeremie, I mean the others."
"Well, Ulrich doesn't really say much about them. And Odd, I don't really do anything with him. During the attacks or when we're on Lyoko he seems to have a lot of fun. I don't think they regret finding you."
"Ok Yumi, thank you. If you like you can call Jeremie now."
"I have a question for you."
"Ok Yumi."
"What do you plan on doing when we get you to Earth? Are you going to come to Kadic Academy? Wouldn't it take a lot of fake papers and stuff?"
"I do not know. Jeremie says he can make me fake documents and make money, no, fake account, I'm trying to remember how he said it." Aelita thinks for a few seconds. "He would make a fake account then put money in it but not real money? That is not correct."
"I know what you mean Aelita." I think I do anyways. "You'd have to go to school with us. Unless you wanted to sleep in the Control Room of the Factory which I don't think you would."
"I do not think I would like that."
"What about Jeremie?"
"He has a bed in his room there I do not think he would like to sleep in the Control Room."
"No I mean, well," Maybe she doesn't know, or understand. "Never mind. I'll call Jeremie ok?"
"Yes Yumi." Aelita watches Yumi call Jeremie. "Thank you Yumi for talking with me. Don't forget your book."
"I won't." Yumi picks it up and leaves the room. A minute later Jeremie comes in.
"Hello Aelita."
"Hello Jeremie." Aelita smiles at him. "Thank you for asking Yumi to talk to me."
"No problem Aelita. You'll be on Earth soon and will need to know as much as you can about the real world as possible."
"Yes I will Jeremie. If you need…" Aelita stops. "Pulsations! Xana is attacking Jeremie!"
"I'll call the others we'll be there as soon as we can."
"Be careful Jeremie." The screen closes and Aelita waits for the others to get to the Factory to help her to the activated Tower.
A/N Again just a fun episode to do for myself. Happens between my OVA and Teddygodzilla. Hope you enjoy it. Fun trying to see Aelita learn and the others get over their embarrassment or fear about certain subjects like life and death.
