Vacation's End
Jeremie and Aelita arrived at Kadic's cafeteria and proceeded to get their dinners. Odd was the first of the Lyoko gang to see them. "Well, look who's here. It looks like the Einsteins made it after all," said Odd.
Jeremie and Aelita got their food and sat down with Odd and Ulrich.
"So anything happen between you two love birds over vacation?" asked Odd. "Like what?" asked Jeremie and Aelita as they both blushed. "You're both blushing, that means something happened," said Odd with a chuckle.
"Quit it Odd, if they have anything they want to tell us they will," said Ulrich. "Like you and Yumi," Odd replied causing Ulrich to blush.
"So you two want to hang out with us to night," asked Odd. "We'd like to, but we have to bring the supper computer back online, so I can run a system diagnostic, and we can get the superscan software installed on our new lap tops," said Jeremie. "That and I want to stop by the Hermitage for a bit tonight," added Aelita.
After supper Jeremie and Aelita went right to factory where they powered up the supercomputer and began the diagnostic. After seeing that everything looked OK they left the factory and headed to the Hermitage.
When they arrived at the Hermitage, Aelita went through the place; with Jeremie right behind her; to see if anything had been disturbed. When she was satisfied that things in the old house were OK, Jeremie and Aelita went to living room and sat on the couch for a bit.
"Thanks for coming here with me, I know you must have been bored," said Aelita. "Bored, when I'm with you, NEVER," replied Jeremie with a smile. This brought a smile to Aelita, because she knew he meant it.
A few minutes later Aelita got up saying, "Well, I supose we'd better get back to the dorm,"
"There is one more thing I like to do while we are here," replied Jeremie. "What's that?" asked Aelita. Jeremie said nothing but took Aelita in his arms and kissed her.
Back in his dorm room, Jeremie and Aelita installed and tested the superscan software. By that time it was almost curfew so Aelita put closed her lap top, and put it its bag. Jeremie saw her to the door were Aelita; before opening the door; kissed him good night and headed down stairs. Minutes later his lap top beeped in a manner that indicated Aelita's lap top had made the WiFi connection. They spent the next hour chatting away through their lap tops, before going to bed.
The next morning Jeremie and Aelita met Odd and Ulrich for breakfast.
"So when do I get show you guys what I found out over vacation. I need your computer to do it," asked Odd.
"We have to check on the supper computer so come by my room about ten," answered Jeremie.
When Jeremie and Aelita got back to Jeremie's room he boot up his desktop. "I got a call from my mother last night. She told me that she had e-mailed the Christmas pictures to me," said Jeremie. They sat down in front of the computer to look at them. Mean while Odd opened the door and Jeremie immediately minimized the window on the computer screen.
"Don't you believe in knocking, before opening a door," asked Jeremie. "Not really, replied Odd with a chuckle.
"So what were you two looking at?" asked Odd. "Nothing!" replied Jeremie and Aelita while blushing. "I saw you minimize a window as I came in. So you were looking at something and since you blushed it must have been juicy," responded Odd as he reached for mouse and reopened the window, just as Ulrich and Yumi walked in.
"Let's see what we have, some pictures of Jeremie and Aelita playing in the snow, surprising but not interesting. Here's one of Jeremie and Aelita kissing under a mistletoe, said Odd getting Yumi's and Ulrich's attention and causing Jeremie and Aelita to blush. Here's another one of them kissing by the Christmas tree, continued Odd and causing Jeremie and Aelita to turn even reder.
Next Odd found one of Aelita in her new dress. "Nice, dress Aelita! When did you get it?" asked Odd. "I bought it at store in Jeremie home town," answered Aelita.
"Let me guess, when Jeremie first saw you in it, his mind turned to mush and he just stood there with mouth gapping open while standing in a pool of drool," said Odd.
"I did not drool," protested Jeremie.
"Well it clear from these pictures that the two of you had a really good time," teased Odd. "Stop teasing them Odd. I think it cute that," said Yumi. "Is it as cute as this picture that your brother gave me?" asked Odd, while holding up a picture of Ulrich and Yumi kissing under the mistletoe. "WHAT!!," said Yumi and Ulrich, both blushing. "So Jeremie and Aelita aren't the only two that had a really good time," declared Odd.
"Where's Hiroki, I'm going kill him!!!" demanded Yumi.
"Well before you go make yourself an only child, I have a surprise for every one, and for Aelita specifically," said Odd pull out a CD and handing to Jeremie. Jeremie placed the CD in his computer and found two JPG files, named Hopper1 and Hopper2. Jeremie clicked in Hopper1 and it brought up to find a picture of a younger Aelita and her parents. When Jeremie clicked on Hopper2 it was of the back of the photo with the following writing
Franz Hopper, Antea Hopper, and Aelita Hopper (age 6)
Date 1988
"Where did you get this, Odd?" asked Aelita with a tear running down her cheek. "I got it from my Aunt Mitilda. It's of my long lost aunt, uncle and cousin," replied Odd, with a smile.
Everyone was almost as shocked as when Jeremie announced that Aelita was really a virtualized human.
"You mean we really are cousins," said Aelita just getting over the shock. "That's right and by the way you can keep the disk," replied Odd. "Thanks," said Aelita giving Odd a hug after which they both looked over at Jeremie, who was not showing even the smallest hint of jealousy. "Why are you looking at me? It's clear that you two are actually cousins, so why should I get jealous," said Jeremie
"You know this is going to take some getting use too, but at least now I know where I get my sense of hummer from," said Aelita. "Not to mention your charm and good looks," replied Odd. "It's obvious where the conceit is in the family, said Aelita causing every one even Odd to laugh.
At that moment the superscan went off and as they headed for the factory it was clear to all that vacation was now over.
The End.
