A/N: And here's the chapter that I've been leading to.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Jeremy stared down at Vivien as she slept. She looked so peaceful in her sleep and was so warm next to him but he needed to go. He had to take his laptop back to the Hermitage. He shifted, moving to sit up. Vivien whined as the warmth moved away from her. She slowly woke up, blinking at the light.

"Jeremy, stay," Vivien whined as his warm body pushed away from hers. "Come back to bed."

Jeremy chuckled, pulling on his boxers then jeans. "If we want to run tests, I need to take the program back to the Hermitage and hook it up to the supercomputer I made."

"But it's so late, you don't want to wake you friends," She argued, sitting up and wrapping her arms around his waist.

Jeremy squeezed her hands then pulled them off. "I have to, Viv. I'll bring back food then maybe we can have some more fun after we eat."

Vivien tugged her sheets up to her chest and pouted. "Promise?"

"I promise, love," He kissed her forehead.

Vivien grabbed his cheek, pulling his lips to hers. Jeremy moaned as she fell backwards on the bed, pulling him on top of her. Jeremy let himself melted into the kiss, his hands pulling her closer until he remember the program was more important. He pulled away, panting as he placed his forehead against hers.

"I have to go," He whispered.

Vivien whined but let him release his hold on her. He pulled on his shirt, grabbing his laptop, and promised her that he would be back soon. Vivien sighed as her door closed. She should feel happy and she was but she could feel Jeremy pulling away from her. They won't as close as they use to be and Vivien tried to change that. This had been the first time in weeks they slept together, the program had been getting to them both. But yet she had this feeling her gut that something was wrong, that something bad was going to happen. She shook her head, forcing her thoughts out of her head. She got up and picked out a pale blue babydoll with white lace on the bottom and the triangle top. She laid back down, waiting for Jeremy to get back.

When Jeremy back, the food he brought back with him was forgotten as Vivien successfully distracted him with her babydoll and they continued to have fun.

Laura sat on the train back to France, her mind running a mile a minute. Everything Aelita and her friends did to her came rushing back to her, hitting her like a ton of bricks. Knowing what they did to her helped her justify stealing this program. They deserve it.

It was almost dawn when Laura made it to the Hermitage. She found a hiding spot and hacked into the security system. She then hacked into Aelita's laptop's camera to make sure no one was home. Laura grinned when she was assured no one was home. She pulled out a bobby pin and unlocked the door with it. The Hermitage was quiet but Laura still made sure she was quiet as she made her way up the stairs. She found Jeremy's room and went in. His laptop was hooked up to another computer, a test for the program was running. Laura sat down in his chair and got to work. A few minutes later, she sat back, smiling. The program was now Tyron's.

Aelita jerked awake when her laptop beeped. She groaned, forcing herself to sit up. She heard the others stir as she pulled her laptop towards her. She gasped when she read the alert.

"Guys! Get up! I found the program!" She jumped up, gathering her stuff as quickly as possible.

Yumi groaned, sitting up slowly. She shook Ulrich, waking him up. "Wake up."

Ulrich blinked up at her confused until he saw Aelita running around, trying to wake Odd up. "Wh-what's going on?"

"Aelita found the program," Yumi replied, standing up. "We have to go."

Ulrich nodded and immediately started gathering his things up. Aelita woke Odd up and finished cleaning up. They were out of the factory in record time and on their way to the Hermitage.

"Where is this new program?" Odd asked when they made it through the front door. None of them noticed it wasn't locked.

"It says it's here," Aelita said, running up the stairs.

The others looked at her confused then ran up to meet her in front of Jeremy's room.

"Jeremy! Jeremy, are you in there?" She yelled, pounding on the door.

"I don't think he's here, princess," Odd said after Aelita continued to knock for several minutes. "Maybe your alert was wrong."

Aelita sighed, giving up on Jeremy. She shook her head at Odd's comment. "It's impossible. I tripled checked it."

"How about we go downstairs for breakfast and you can check it again while we cook?" Yumi offered.

Aelita agreed, following them downstairs. As the others cook, she sat on the island checking her location system again. There was no way it was wrong.

The others were still cooking breakfastAfter breakfast when Jeremy came back. He greeted the others, grabbing the muffins that were done before heading up the stairs. Not even five minutes later, he came running down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Has anyone been in my room?" He gasped.

"No," Odd shook his head. "Why?"

"Something's missing from my room. My project's gone."

"None of have been here, Jeremy. We just back this morning," Aelita told him.

Yumi's eye squinted in confusion. "Do you think someone broke in?"

"How else would my project be gone?" Jeremy asked, starting to pace. "Didn't you set up a security system, Aelita?"

"Yeah, let me check." Aelita pulled up the cameras on her laptop to see what happened. Her eyebrows scrunched together. "What? That can't be right." Aelita's fingers flew across the keyboard.

Jeremy watched her, pacing back and forth and biting his fingernails. "What? What's wrong?"

"Someone hacked my system."

"What?" Everyone yelled, gathering around her.

"Yeah, it went dark a few hours ago. I have nothing," Aelita told them, her fingers still skimming across the keys. "I can't find anything."

"Are you saying someone actually broke in?" Yumi cried.

Ulrich put his arm around her shoulder, squeezing it in comfort. "We should see if they took anything else."

"Good idea," Odd nodded, running up the stairs. Yumi and Ulrich followed him and Aelita quickly followed.

As the others search, Jeremy paced around the kitchen. His program was gone. Completely. He had hacked his camera on his laptop and got nothing from it. Whoever broke in knew what they were doing and they got what they came from.

"I don't have anything missing," Odd announced, walking back into the kitchen with Aelita, Ulrich and Yummy right behind him.

"Neither do we," Yumi said.

Aelita immediately jumped back on her laptop, trying to figure out who hacked them and broke in. "What's missing, Jeremy?"

"Um, my project Vivien and I have been working on," Jeremy hesitated. He couldn't tell them. They would hate him forever.

Odd crossed his arms, eyeing the man. Jeremy wasn't telling them something but Odd couldn't figure out what it was.

Aelita didn't noticed Odd's stare off as she continued working. She gasped loudly when she found the IP address that hacked them. "Guys, it was Laura! Laura turned off my system which means she probably broke in."

"What?" The others yelled, looking over her shoulder.

"Someone call William and see if he knows anything," Aelita said.

"Does this mean she remembers?" Yumi asked.

Aelita shrugged. "Jeremy, I need to know what Laura stole. If it was on your computer, I might be able to find it."

Jeremy started pacing again, his fingernails immediately going in his mouth. She was going to hate him but she was right. They needed to know so they could find Laura. "Vivien and I have been trying to recreate Lyoko to help us get into MIT and we succeeded. Laura stole our version of Lyoko."

Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi stared at him in disbelief as Aelita glared at him. She could feel all the anger that she had repressed from four years ago to now come bubbling up. This man in front of her, who use to be her best friend, had betrayed her. She didn't even know who he was anymore.

"You created another Lyoko? What were you thinking?" Aelita screamed. "Do you know what that place did to me? To my family? It killed my father! It caused my mother to be kidnapped!"

Jeremy gaped her but quickly reacted back, his anger of her leaving him, exploding. "Yeah, well look at us, Aelita! That place did stuff to us as well! But you don't even care. You left us!" Jeremy yelled back.

"Dude-" Odd tried to cut but Aelita pushed him back, screaming at the top of lungs now.

"God, Jeremy. You just won't let that go! I left to go save my mother! From Tyron!"

Jeremy grew quiet, taking a deep breathe. "You went to Tyron?"

"Yes." Aelita stopped screaming. It was finally time for her to come out and tell the truth. "I contacted him soon after we turned the super computer back off. I made him a deal. I told him I would help him destroy my father's research then he would let my mother go. He agreed and flew me out to his lab where he held me hostage for almost a year. I was kept in a jail cell at night. During the day, I did his biding. Then he broke his promise to me. He released me one day with no word about my mother. Luckily before he released me, my mother would come to my cell each night, telling me all about her sister who went into hiding after she was kidnapped. After trying to bargain with Tyron with no luck, I gave up and found my aunt and other family. It was my aunt that told me that Tyron wants to control XANA. He had me destroy my father's research because he didn't want anyone else to know about Lyoko. He thought I destroyed everything and that none of you would be a problem. He thought wrong. I had a copy of everything and you, Jeremy knew Lyoko like the back of your hand. And now because of you, he locked my mother up and sent Laura after us!"

"Aelita," Jeremy started before Odd stepped in between him and Aelita. He glared at the other man, making Jeremy realize that Odd had grown up a lot over the years.

"No," He hissed. "Stay away from her."

"Odd."

"He said no," Ulrich joined Odd, crossing his arms. "How dare you do this? To Aelita? To us? What were you thinking?"

"But my Lyoko is good. XANA doesn't exist. Vivien and I made sure of that," Jeremy tried to explain himself before he got cut off but this time by Yumi.

"And you brought Vivien into all of this? We agreed never to tell anyone and you broke that pact. We can't trust you anymore, Jeremy," Yumi told him, her arms pulling Aelita in for a hug.

"But."

"You need to leave, Jeremy. Now," Odd hissed again, stepping forward.

Jeremy stepped back, looking at his once friends. They looked at him with something he has never seen in their eyes before, disgust. And so much hate. He sighed, backing up and leaving the Hermitage. He had to find Vivien and tell her the bad news.

As soon as Jeremy left the Hermitage, Aelita collapsed in Yumi's arms. Yumi rubbed her back, trying to calm her down as Odd went to make tea.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Yumi asked when Aelita finally calmed down enough to speak.

Aelita shook her head, wiping her tears. "I couldn't. He would have hurt my mom and my family. I couldn't let him do that. He only agreed to stay away from you guys because I told him that you guys weren't a treat. I didn't think Jeremy would do something like that. I guess I didn't realize how much he hated me."

"He doesn't hate you," Ulrich assured her. "He's hurt. You were like the glue holding us together so when you left, we fell apart. You leaving hurt Jeremy the most."

"Don't try to justify what he did, Ulrich," Odd mumbled.

"I'm not. I'm pissed at him, too. I can't believe he did this but he doesn't hate her," Ulrich said to Odd. He turned back to Aelita. "I don't think he could ever hate you, princess. I think he still loves you and recreating Lyoko was almost like bringing you back."

Odd snarled at the comment but when he notice Aelita smile slightly, he stopped. Of course, Ulrich was right. Jeremy could never hate Aelita. She was his first love.

Yumi tilted her head, smiling at her new boyfriend and realizing just how much he has grown in four years. Yes, this time it was going to work but right now she needed to focus on the bigger issue at hand. "Even if he did recreate it to still hold on to Aelita, that still does not excuse it. He told Vivien when he promised not to tell anyone. And now the new Lyoko is in the hands of Laura. There's no telling what she's planning."

"William's on his way so maybe he knows," Ulrich responded, sitting on the stool next to Yumi. He placed his hand on her thigh, squeezing it, reassuring her that he was here for her. Yumi looked over and smiled at him.

"What if Laura's working with Tyron? He'll hurt my mother," Aelita thought out loud. "He's been in contact with Laura before. He could have recruited her to help take us down."

Yumi pulled Aelita in for another hug, rubbing her back. "Let's just focus on finding Laura and worry about him later."

"I have tea," Odd said, breaking some of the tension and bringing them each a mug. "Drink up so we can focus on the mission at hand."

"Thanks, Odd," Aelita replied, pulling away from Yumi and taking the mug from Odd. She slowly drank her tea as Yumi continued to rub circles on her back.

Ulrich stayed by Yumi, his presence comforting her as Odd watched. He wanted to help Yumi comfort Aelita but he was worried that she would reject him. Her confession showed him just how scared and vulnerable she was at this time. He didn't want to take advantage of that so he let Yumi continue to comfort her. School was soon forgotten as William came running into the Hermitage. He was out of breathe with his phone in his hand.

"Guys, I called Laura on the way here and she yelled at me. Told me that we deserve what's coming for us."

"What? What does that mean?" Yumi asked.

William shook his head. "I don't know but it doesn't sound good."

"That means she's working with Tyron," Aelita explained. "And she's taking the program to Tyron."

"Program? What program?" William asked.

"Jeremy and his little girlfriend recreated Lyoko," Odd told him, catching him up. "That's what Laura stole."

"I just can't believe she would break in and do that," William said, crossing his arms.

"Well, she did. She's not who you've been talking to these last few weeks. It seems like she was faking the whole time to get close to us just like we were trying to get close to her," Ulrich said. "This could have been her plan all along."

William shook her head. "No, I don't think so. I truly think she didn't remember us but I do think she was getting close to me for something. And this just proves it."

"So what do we do?" Yumi asked.

Aelita sighed. She couldn't believer what she was about to say. "We need to get Jeremy and Vivien and go after Laura."

"What?" Odd cried. "Aelita, we can't do that? Not after what they did!"

"If we don't get to them first, Tyron will. We need to find Laura together and get to Tyron together. No matter what Jeremy did, we can't let Tyron get to him," Aelita said. She was determined to save them all. She couldn't leave them high and dry against Tyron.

The others didn't seem as convinced. Odd tried to talk her out of it while William was still hurt that Laura used him. Yumi joined Odd in trying to reason with her. What Jeremy did was a betrayal to all of them, not just Aelita but Aelita's mind was made up.

"Well, we have a problem. How do we find Laura?" Ulrich asked. He figured it was best to stay out of the arguing. He knew once Aelita made up her mind, nothing could change it.

"Here," William said, handing Aelita his phone with Laura's number. "You can use her number to track her, right?"

"Yeah, I can. Thanks, William." Aelita set to work on tracking Laura.

"I told you that you should've told them the truth. I knew something like this was going to happen," Vivien ranted as she paced behind Jeremy. Jeremy was busy on her computer trying to find all their hard work.

"You knew someone would steal our hard work?"

"No, I knew they would react like this," Vivien replied, pulling her green and pink floral kimono tighter. "You should've have told them that I knew about Lyoko and that we were recreating it. If you were honest from the start, they wouldn't have kicked you out when you needed them the most."

Jeremy spun around in his chair, glaring at her. "I didn't tell them because I knew they would be pissed and they wouldn't understand why I was recreating Lyoko. I hide it from them because of this reason and now it's gone!"

"Don't yell at me," Vivien hissed. "Don't you dare act like it's my fault. You are the one that convinced me to help you with this. I didn't want to do this anyway. I knew it was a bad idea."

"It's a little late for that speech, Viv," Jeremy muttered, turning back around.

"Yeah, well we both made mistakes, Jeremy but yelling about it is not going going to find our Lyoko. Is it?" Vivien rolled her eyes at the back of her head, pacing again.

"No, it isn't."

Vivien and Jeremy spun around at the new voice. Aelita stood in Vivien's doorway with Odd, Yumi, Ulrich, and William behind her.

"Aelita, what are you doing here?" Jeremy asked, his voice low and almost apologetic.

Vivien tilted her head to the side in confusion at the voice. It almost sounded like he still cared about her but considering all the times he ranted at her leaving, Vivien didn't think that was the case. It was almost like he still loved her.

"We came here to get you two so we can go find Laura and Tyron," Aelita responded. "We're going to Switzerland."
