I was back in the Celestial dome, running the multi-agent program that would kill Xana once and for all. But my father was sacrificing his life to give us the necessary energy to run it, and the Mantas were attacking him. Jeremie was yelling at me to run the program already but I wanted to save my dad.

"AELITA RUN THE PROGRAM!"

"NO!" I hurled energy fields at the Mantas, but they refused to be destroyed! They continued to shoot and there was nothing I could do!

"AELITA!"

I ran the program and the energy ball that was my father....exploded...my mind played that two seconds over and over and over again. It was torture, knowing I couldn't do anything but feeling like I should have tried harder. But then Sector 5 faded away and I saw a new scene.

It was the Mr. Puck dream, but I, garbed in my original Lyoko outfit, was the little elf, running for her life. I was in a wooded area but there was nowhere to hide, none of the branches came low enough for me to climb, and no bushes. I had to keep running to get away from the black wolf with streaks of red fur that was chasing me, but I couldn't hide. The wolf was gaining on me, getting closer, and then...it pounced!

Morgan burst through my door, upset at being woken up by my screaming.

"What's wrong! Some of us are trying to concentrate!" she yelled.

"...Sorry, I had a nightmare..."

"What about?" she asked though she didn't sound like she cared too terribly much.

I couldn't tell her about my dad dying, or the wolf, so I lied.

"Falling into the ocean with some pointy rocks..." She looked at me like she didn't quite believe it.

"Well, go back to sleep. Try not to have another nightmare, you'll wake the entire school!"

"Easy for you to say..." I muttered, rolling on my side, going back to sleep.

The next morning I got up and went to Morgan's room across the hall. When I opened the door I saw she was typing away on an extremely impressive laptop, even more advanced than Jeremie's!

"Where'd you get a laptop like that?" I asked in amazement.

"You wouldn't believe the stuff they give you when your dad dies." she replied without stopping her typing, without looking up, she talked with no emotion in that statement. Her dad died too...

"Your dad died?"

She paused tensing up a bit.

"Yeah, a week and a half ago, actually. It's why I moved here."

"And your mom?"

She paused again, I knew I'd asked the wrong question, considering the sensitivity I had about my mom...

"Never knew her, my dad wouldn't tell me anything about her. Now let's go to breakfast, shall we?"

We had a nice breakfast and then went to the rec room, Morgan went in the corner to work on her laptop. As I suspected Jeremie was jealous of it but he calmed down once he heard how she had gotten it. While we were watching a show a news bulletin came up.

"Breaking news. Last night a computer store was robbed, the thief stole the laptop X, the most advanced model to date. The teenage boy was caught on security camera and identified as Rob Hasnolastname, the boy was found earlier this morning unconscious in the middle of the park with no memory of the previous night. He was arrested but tested negative for both drugs and alcohol, his loss of memory remains a mystery."

Jeremie's eyes were wide as he whispered, "Ya don't think-"

"No, it's impossible." Yumi assured him.

"Now here we have the employee who was on guard at the time of the robbery, Brian Richardson. Brian, what did you see?"

"Well, this teenage boy comes in so quietly it's like he phased through the door or something. Then he stands there, and I walk up to him and he has these freaky flashing contact lenses. I tell him to get out cause the store's closed and he can't be there, then he...."

"He what?"

"He had a taser or something, next thing I knew I was being electrocuted and passed out. When I woke up the laptop was gone."

"Okay, if you want to watch the security tape it's on our website, news. Com. That's it for now. Have a delicious day!"

Did that guy just say 'delicious day'? What a ridiculous catchphrase! But, what he said before, it sounded like...

"Jeremie?"

"On it."

He brought up the news website and there it was, right on the home page, the surveillance video. We watched it, and it was as I feared. This person, without a doubt, was possessed by Xana at the time of the robbery.

"But...how?"

We all looked at Jeremie who made sure Morgan wasn't listening before saying. "I'll check it out."

"Okay, well, we all have class soon, let's go."
