A/N: I'm back! This chapter took longer cause I started planning out the end and what's going to happen. Unfortunately Vivien is giving me trouble so if anyone has any suggestions for her, let me know. Do you see her as an ally or foe?

Disclaimer: I do not own Code: Lyoko

Vivien had concluded that she was insane. Instead of avoiding Jeremy, like a normal person would have done, she decided to forgive him. It wasn't her fault, it was the program. If it wasn't for the program, she wouldn't have forgiven Jeremy this easily. But because of it she was going to meet him to discuss the program.

She frowned, reading the directions Jeremy sent her. The address didn't make any sense. Reading them again and realizing it was right, she looked up. Frowning once more, she walked across a bridge, where Jeremy was waiting for her at the entrance.

"Hey," He greeted, smiling slightly.

"Jeremy, where are we?" Vivien asked, confused.

"I want to show you something. Do you trust me?" Jeremy held out his hand, hoping she would take it.

Vivien looked at his hand, not knowing what to do. Finally, against her better judgement, she took his head and let him lead her down the elevator. He entered the password and the elevator took off. She gasped when the elevator stopped and the doors opened. "Jeremy, is this?"

Jeremy nodded, leading her over and turning on the supercomputer. "I've been working on this to create our own supercomputer."

"Is it safe? What about XANA?" Vivien frowned.

"Come on, you can see for yourself," Jeremy tugged her hand and led her up a ladder.

Vivien gasped for the second time when they made it up the ladder, running her hand over the computer. "Can I sit in the chair?"

"Go for it," Jeremy motioned.

Vivien squealed, climbing into the chair. Her fingers started moving like a dance only she knew. Her eyes struggled to keep up, reading everything she pulled up. "Jeremy, this is even better than I imagined. It's a dream come true."

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Stunning." Vivien's fingers continued to type as she discovered every nook and cranny of the supercomputer. "And you think our program will be okay?"

"We tripled the firewalls and debugged it every day. I believe it will be fine," Jeremy replied. He pulled their prototype of a supercomputer out of his backpack. "Here, check."

Vivien stopped typing, took the supercomputer out of his hands then started typing again. After a few minutes, she stopped and smiled. "You're right. This is incredible, Jeremy. With this, we should be finished by Christmas."

"That's the plan," Jeremy grinned.

"Here we come, MIT."

Yumi finished brushing her teeth and face then made her way to Ulrich's room. Ulrich was sitting on his bed, his laptop in his lap.

"Arrow or The Flash?" He asked her as she closed the door.

"Definitely Arrow," Yumi replied, climbing in the bed next to him. She squirmed for awhile, pushing her pillows up and trying to get comfortable.

"Ready?" Ulrich asked, amused at her tactics.

Yumi nodded as she pulled the covers over her leg. "Yep."

Ulrich grinned at her, turned off the lights and pressed play.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the kitchen Odd was making Aelita a cup of tea as she sat in the bar stool with her laptop. She was currently playing with new mixes for her new job that started the next day.

"How does this sound?" Aelita pressed play and turned up the volume.

Odd bobbed his head to the music, smiling. "That sounds great, Princess."

Aelita sighed in relief. "Thank God. This job is making me worried."

"You'll be fine. Now, drink your tea and head to bed," Odd told her, giving her a mug of hot tea.

Aelita stuck her tongue out at him but sipped her tea quietly. Odd also poured himself a mug and sat down across from her.

"So when will your movie be done?" Aelita asked, closing her laptop and taking another sip of tea.

"I finished it today."

"Really? When can I see it?"

"Soon," Odd teased.

Aelita glared at him. "You're mean."

Odd laughed at her, shoving her shoulder lightly.

The sound of front door opening and closing made the two stop and look up. Aelita frowned, getting up and going to the hallway, Odd following. Jeremy was there taking off his shoes and putting down his bag.

"Jeremy?"

Jeremy looked up, surprised. "Aelita, Odd. Hey."

"Jeremy, buddy, it's almost midnight on a Sunday. Where were you?" Odd questioned.

"Oh, I was just making up with Vivien," Jeremy responded. "Did I wake you guys?"

"No, we just had a cup of tea and were heading up to bed soon," Aelita held up her mug. "Want a mug?"

"That actually sounds perfect right now," Jeremy answered.

Aelita looked at him surprised but led him into the kitchen and fixed him a mug of tea.

"Thanks." Jeremy took the mug and sipped it. "I'm going to take this up to my room, if that's okay?"

Aelita nodded, watching him turn around and leave.

"Okay, that was weird," Odd acknowledged. Aelita nodded in agreement. "Alright, Princess, it's bedtime."

As Odd and Aelita headed up to bed, Jeremy was setting up the prototype supercomputer Vivien and him had just finished. He plugged it up to run a few test as he slept then started getting ready for bed, sipping the tea Aelita made him. He didn't know why he decided to take the tea. He had been trying to avoid to Aelita, not act like they were still best friends. And yet, he took the mug from her like nothing was wrong with him.

Jeremy shook his head, finishing getting ready. Now was not the time to dwell on the past. It was to think on the future. And his future depended on this program.

Jeremy yawned, climbing into bed, his mind on the program and what would happen when they finally finished.

Back upstairs, Ulrich turned of the latest episode of Arrow and closed his laptop. He looked down at Yumi who had fallen asleep. He smiled, laying down beside her, hoping the nightmares stayed away tonight.

The scene changed, his room becoming the forest sector of Lyoko. He looked around.

"Ulrich, quick. Yumi!" Jeremy exclaimed.

He looked around then started to run in his super sprint.

"Yumi is 90 degrees to the west, Ulrich. Hurry, she's slipping!"

He continued to run, making all the right turns around the trees. Finally he made it to where Yumi was hanging on. He grabbed her hand trying to pull her up.

"Don't worry, I got you!"

"I don't think so."

He turned around, glaring at William.

"Goodbye," William said in his Xanaifed voice and shoved him off the edge, causing him and Yumi to fall into the Digital Sea.

"NO!"

Ulrich jerked awake, trying to get his breathing under control. After what seemed like a lifetime, his heart rate slowed and his breathing returned to normal. He looked down at Yumi who was still asleep. Sighing in relief, he laid back down, trying to get the dream out of his mind.

Back downstairs, Odd was still up putting the last touches on his movie. This was the third night in a row Odd had pulled an all-nighter. The first night it was to finish his movie, the second to edit. Tonight it was because of nightmares. He tried to go to asleep but woke up immediately. He decided to take it as a sign to work on his movie.

He was really proud of this movie. Using Lyoko as inspiration, he was able to create something that released his feelings. When he first gave the script to Yumi and Aelita, he was afraid of what they would think and that they would figure out what it was about. Lucky for him, the girls didn't figure it out. But Odd knew once he showed them the final version, they would. He was afraid of what they might say. Would they hate him?

Odd shook his head, not thinking of that. Instead, he pressed play and watched his favorite scene. They filmed it in an abandoned building. With the help of the drama department, they were able to make it look like a recovery center. The girls played two characters being interviewed in order to be released from the program where their characters thought they were in a video game.

Odd continued to put the last details on his movie, ignoring the time and staying up.

Aelita woke up earlier than usual for the second morning in a row. This time it was because of excitement. She took her usual shower then spent thirty minutes deciding on the perfect outfit. Finally, she decided on a black flower print dress with a cream colored crochet sweater over it and matching socks. She completed the look with tan booties and small gold hoop earrings. After fixing her makeup and hair, she made her way downstairs to start breakfast.

Ulrich was already in the kitchen, pouring coffee in four mugs while pancakes were cooking on the griddle. "Morning, Princess," he greeted, handing her a coffee mug. Odd had given her the mug as a joke when they first moved in. It was a pale pink with princess written on it in cursive.

"Morning," Aelita greeted, taking the mug. "This looks great, Ulrich."

"Thanks, I didn't want you to cook all the time especially since you have early classes."

Aelita smiled at him and thanked him. She sat down at the island as Ulrich finished the pancakes. A few minutes later, Yumi came down wearing black skinny jeans, a red and blue plaid shirt that was rolled up her elbows, and brown combat boots.

"Morning," she greeted, accepting the mug from Ulrich. "Are you excited about today, Aelita?"

"Oh, definitely," she exclaimed. "Will you guys be listening?"

"Of course."

"Definitely."

Aelita smiled at her friends, taking the plate of pancakes from Ulrich. "Thanks, guys. That means a lot."

The three settled down to eat the pancakes Ulrich made for them. A few minutes later, Odd walked in the kitchen. He mumbled a good morning as he walked to the coffee pot and poured a mug.

"Odd, buddy, you look awful," Ulrich blurted as Odd leaned against the counter and took a big sip of coffee.

"Yeah, I stayed up and finished the little details of my movie," Odd yawned.

"I thought you were finished?" Aelita questioned.

"Now I am."

"When can we see it?" Yumi urged, leaning forward slightly.

"We're screening them tonight if you guys want to come," Odd responded.

The three of them answered yes excitedly. Odd grinned. "Great. It's tonight at 7:00. Will you be off in time, Aelita?"

Aelita frowned, forgetting about her job. "I think so. I go in this afternoon for training. I should be done by then."

"Good." Odd finished his coffee then grabbed a plate of pancakes and another cup of coffee. He had just started eating when Jeremy walked in with the mug from last night in his hands.

"Morning," Jeremy greeted, placing his mug in the sink and getting out a clean to-go mug. "Sorry I can't eat with you guys but I have to go meet Vivien this morning. I thought I would bring her breakfast."

"Is she still mad at you?" Ulrich asked.

"A little bit," Jeremy replied. "So I'm taking her a croissant to her dorm."

"Good luck, Einstein," Odd told him. "And if you have time tonight, my movie is being screened."

"I'll try," Jeremy promised, shouldering his bag. "See you guys later."

The four friends waved goodbye as Jeremy left the kitchen. He picked his backpack and keys on his way out the door. He drove thru the drive-thru breakfast joint and picked up a bag of croissants then drove to campus, parking as close as he could to Vivien's dorm.

He knocked on Vivien's door, hoping he didn't wake her. She opened the door, with yellow lace shorts over navy tights with a gray tank top on, indicting she wasn't finished getting ready.

"Jeremy, why are you here so early?" She frowned.

He held up the bag of croissants. "I thought we could eat breakfast together."

Vivien smiled, opening the door wider, allowing him to come in. Her dorm room was the typical size of a dorm room. The walls were a creamed color. Her bed was against the one window in the room. Her bedspread was a simple white with a black fluffy blanket at the end of the bed. It was decorated with two white pillows, a mint green pillow, a grey pillow, a white pillow with a grey bow on it, and a long pillow with an Aztec design. Above the bed were several pictures, each different scenes of Paris. The rest of the room was filled with desks and all kinds of computer equipment.

Jeremy sat down in one of the chairs as Viven opened her closet and pulled on a long, navy blue shirt. She took a croissant from him and sat down on her bed.

"How was the test?" She asked, crossing her legs.

"All good like I told you it would be."

"When do you think the supercomputer will be done?"

Jeremy shrugged. "I hope to get it done in a few weeks. In the meantime, we need to finish the sectors."

"Sounds good. I can't believe it's all coming together. All our hard work will finally be done," Vivien grinned. "Now enough about the program, let's talk about something else."

"Like what?"

"Have you seen the season five finale of The Walking Dead?"

Jeremy laughed. The Walking Dead was Vivien's latest obsession. He was partly to blame for this one. He introduced her to the comics when they first met. Together they decided to give the show a chance, after three years of it already being on air. They binged watch the show after the current season airs. Currently they were on season five.

"Yes, I can't believe Rick did that," Jeremy answered.

The two spent the rest of time in her dorm discussing the insane finale.

Aelita was late. After her classes were over, she rushed to the radio station. Her first day consisting of signing paper work in her new boss's office. Then one of the interns gave her a tour of the studio. After that, she was shown were she would be working and exactly how to use the equipment. All of this took a lot longer than she expected and now she was late to Odd's screening.

When she finally got to campus, she ran as fast as she could to where they were screening Odd's movie and snuck in. Thankfully Odd was just now putting in the movie.

The opening scene was black screen with a voiceover.

"How are you feeling?"

"Good."

"Any dreams?"

"No."

"You're lying, Maia."

The screen changed from black screen to an office. Aelita's character, Maia, was sitting in a chair. Her hair was pulled back and she was wearing black shorts and a sweatshirt. Across from her sat an older man.

"What was your dream, Maia?"

The camera zoomed into Maia's eyes. Her black pupils showed a figured. Suddenly the black of the pupils grew, taking up the whole screen. The figure came into focused. It was Maia in animated form, dressed as an elf in a castle.

"Maia, was it the same dream?" The scene changed back to the office where the older man was talking to Maia again.

"No."

The older man sighed. "We'll try again tomorrow, Maia. Send Kasumi in."

Maia stood up and walked out of the office. Yumi's character Kasumi entered the office wearing the same thing as Maia. She sat down in the office, waiting for the older man to speak.

"How are you today, Kasumi?"

"Fine."

"Any dreams?"

"No."

The older man sighed, rubbing his head. It was the same thing everyday with these two. Always lies. "Kasumi, I know you're lying."

Kasumi looked away, focusing on his plant in the corner. The scene changed to an animated Kasumi dressed as a geisha in the same castle Maia thought of. The animated Maia came up to her and the two started running, fighting the monsters along the way.

"Kasumi, what are you thinking about?"

Kasumi looked up. "Nothing."

"Okay, fine. We'll try again tomorrow. You're dismissed."

Kasumi left the office and made her way to the room she shared with Maia. Maia was sitting on her bed, reading a book. Kasumi joined her, leaning her head against Maia's shoulder.

"We can't keep this up for much longer," Maia said, closing her book.

"No, he's on to us."

The girls closed the eyes, changing the scene. Their animated selves were back in the castle, making their way up to the top tower. When they got to the tower, Maia rushed up to the computer in the room. She started typing then pressed send. The girls floated up, going to the next level.

After the movie was over, Aelita sat there in disbelief. Of all things Odd could have done, he decided to use inspiration from Lyoko. If she had known that's what it was when she read the script, she wouldn't have starred in it.

Aelita looked for Yumi, finding her close to the front. She had her arms crossed as Ulrich tried talking to her. Odd was taking to his professor, too busy to notice Yumi's behavior.

Aelita got up and walked over to Yumi and Ulrich, greeting them. Ulrich smiled at her while Yumi nodded, glaring at Odd.

"Did you know?" Yumi asked, not taking her eyes off of Odd.

"No. I had no idea," Aelita answered, looking at Odd.

"Let's go home before you girls make a scene. It's not good for Odd's grade," Ulrich suggested.

"Fine," Yumi snapped, getting up.

The three made their way back to the Hermitage. Aelita made some tea as they waited for Odd to get home, his movie branded into their minds. Ulrich, realizing the girls were not calming down anytime soon, text Jeremy to ask where he was. Jeremy quickly responded back, saying he was on his way.

Yumi's mind was raving. The images from Odd's movie appeared then were quickly replaced with actual events from Lyoko. It took her fours years to accept what she went through but now she felt like she went ten steps back. She was angry Odd would even consider mocking their experiences.

Aelita, meanwhile, was disappointed in Odd. She trusted Odd but he went behind her and made this movie. She went through more than the rest of the gang. She lived on Lyoko for ten years! Did he not think of the consequences?

While the girls were lost in thought, Jeremy walked in the kitchen. He poured himself a mug of tea and sat beside Ulrich. Vivien convinced him to go see Odd's movie and he did. He knew Odd had pent up feelings of Lyoko, so did he but to basically mock their story like that? Jeremy wasn't sure what to think.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Odd finally came home and made his way into the kitchen. He could feel the tension as soon as he walked in. He sighed, poured a mug of tea, and sat down at the island, ready to be persecuted.

"Interesting movie," Ulrich started, knowing it was better for everyone to just let it out.

"Yeah, really interesting, Odd," Yumi snapped. "Was it fun to mock Lyoko?"

"What? I wasn't mocking Lyoko," Odd frowned.

"Well that's what it looked like," Aelita exclaimed. "What we went through-what I went through is not something to joke about, Odd."

"I wasn't."

"It was really immature," Jeremy commented.

"Why did you think this was okay?" Ulrich added.

"Guys, can you please just listen to me?" Odd yelled. The four of them fell silent, looking at Odd. "I didn't make this movie to mock our experiences or Lyoko. I made it because ever since I reunited with you guys all these feelings came flooding back. I couldn't function so I decided to throw all my feelings into this movie. I was able to let it all out in a creative way instead of bottling it up inside like you guys do."

"We do not bottle our feelings up," Yumi interrupted.

Odd rolled his eyes. "Come on, Yumi, you know that's not true."

Aelita sighed, looking down at the counter. She knew Odd was right. "Yes, we do, Yumi."

Yumi looked at the pink haired girl in shock. "Aelita?"

"I went through hell in Lyoko. Bottling up my emotions seems easier than letting them out so I don't think, I just go on. But I keep forgetting you guys went through hell as well. What Odd did was probably the best way to heal, to let go. We should learn from him." The other four looked at her. "Look, I'm not saying we should sit around a camp fire, holding hands while discussing our feelings. We each experienced different things. But that doesn't mean we should bottle it up or we could explode."

"So what do you suggest?" Ulrich questioned, not on board with the touchy feely stuff.

"That we should go to each other if we ever need someone to talk to," Aelita replied. "I know I'm not the only one who has nightmares. I know Yumi has been staying up with you, Ulrich, because of your nightmares."

Ulrich groaned and looked away from everything while Yumi blushed, finding her shoes more interesting at the moment.

Jeremy frowned, Aelita's words sinking. Sure, he had nightmares but he wasn't going to talk to them about it. Was she crazy? No, instead he was going to continue with what he has been doing for the past four years and finish his program.

"I think that's a great idea, Aelita," Odd encouraged. "This way I want be attacked every time I make a movie showcasing my feelings."

"We're sorry, Odd," Yumi apologized. "But like Aelita said, talk to someone."

Odd nodded in agreement. "So other than that misunderstanding, what did you guys really think of my movie?"

The ground was covered in fresh snow. A little girl was running around as her mother chased her. Her father came outside, holding a mug.

"Time to come inside and warm up!" He called the little girl.

The little girl ran towards her father, not noticing a black van pulled up. As she made it to her father, her mother screamed behind her. The two looked up to see her mother being dragged away from two men in suits.

"Mommy!"

"Get in the house!"

"Mommy! No!"

A/N: Let me know what you guys think. I like long, lengthy reviews.
