“Aelita, I am curious,” Michele Belpois asked from the driver’s seat. “Why couldn’t you go home for the holidays?”
“Oh, we couldn’t afford a plane ticket.” Aelita lied. “Ok.” Mr. Belpois said, not really believing it. He changed the subject by asking “Hey, you guys mind if I put on some music?”
“Sure.” Aelita said.
Mr. Belpois reached over for the dial and turned on the radio. Aelita put her hand on Jeremie’s thigh and looked at him with love. “It’ll be nice to have two weeks without any Xana attacks.” Aelita said low enough that Jeremie’s father wouldn’t hear. “Ya, it is.” Jeremie said, taking her hand in his. On the radio, they heard the song being played. “I’m In Heaven When You Kiss Me” by ATC. “I’m in heaven when you kiss me, show me how you miss me, take me with you back to Wonderland.” Aelita started to sing. “I’m in heaven when you kiss me, show me how you miss me, take me with you back to Wonderland. You catch me in a stair. I’ll follow you anywhere. You lead me into temptation. You indition me to enjoy, I’m like a kid with a toy. I’m losing my concentration. One kiss from you, I’m on fire, your touch is all I desire. One look and you take me higher. You know I couldn’t resiste Ya, I miss every time I’m with you. Every time that we kiss. I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, you were sent to me from Wonderland. I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, you were sent to me from Wonderland. I go crazy when you kiss me, show me how you miss me, take me with you, back to Wonderland. You know I couldn’t resist. Ya, I miss every time I’m with you, every time that we kiss.” “I dream of you every night.” Jeremie sang. “Just like I’m loosing my mind. The feelings just getting stronger. My head is spinning around. You play with me when I’m bound. I can’t resist any longer.” “One kiss from you, I’m on fire. Your touch is all I desire. One look and you’ll take me higher. You know I couldn’t resist. Ya, I miss every time I’m with you. Every time that we kiss. I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, You were sent to me from Wonderland. I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, You were sent to me from Wonderland. I go crazy when you kiss me, show me how you miss me, take me with you, back to Wonderland. You know I couldn’t resist, ya I miss every time I’m with you, every time that we kiss.”
“You know that I’m hypnotized. Each time I look in your eyes.” Jeremie looked into Aelita’s eyes. “You know I couldn’t disguise and I couldn’t resist every time that we kiss.” “I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, You were sent to me from Wonderland.” Aelita sang, “I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, You were sent to me from Wonderland. I’m in heaven when you kiss me, heaven when you kiss me, You were sent to me from Wonderland. I go crazy when you kiss me, baby don’t resist me, Take me with you, back to Wonderland. You know I’m hypnotized by you love and I just can’t resist every time that we kiss. You know I’m hypnotized by you love and I just can’t resist every time that we kiss.” “Bravo.” Mr. Belpois said as the song ended. Aelita’s cheeks blushed from the praise. “Quick question though, have you two kissed yet?”
“Dad!” Jeremie called, embarrassed.
“I take that as a no.” Mr. Belpois laughed. The hours dragged on for Aelita who wasn’t used to traveling in a car for so long. She ended up falling asleep on Jeremie’s shoulder.
“What is it?” Jeremie asked. “I know this place.” Aelita whispered. “Like I’ve been here before.” “Probably déjà-vu.” Mr. Belpois said as he turned the car off. "Everybody get's it from time to time." Jeremie opened the door and got out. Aelita followed him. Mr. Belpois had gotten out and popped open the trunk so that he could get to Aelita and Jeremie’s bags. Mr. Belpois had grabbed his son’s suitcase and was about to grab Aelita’s bag when Jeremie went over to take it. He grabbed it and the three went into the house to be greeted by smells of good food and a cat.
“Honey, we’re here!” Mr. Belpois called. Mrs. Belpois came out of the kitchen with an apron on. In one hand was a spoon and in the other was a phone that she had just turned off. She walked into the living room and said, “We’ve been picked to hold the family Christmas party.” “Oh great.” Jeremie mumbled. Mrs. Belpois looked at the pink haired girl and said, “Oh, hello. I’m sorry, who are you?” “My name’s Aelita. Mr. Belpois offered to let me spend Christmas break with your family, but if there’s a problem..”
“No, no problem at all.” Mrs. Belpois said, smiling. “Just one thing, could you share a room with Jeremie? I don’t think you want to spend your vacation with some of our relatives.” “Ok.” Aelita said. “I’ll show you where my room is.” Jeremie said, grabbing both his stuff as well as Aelita’s. “Oh, I can take my bag.” Aelita offered as Jeremie started up the stairs. “No problem, I’ve got it.” Jeremie said as Aelita followed him up the stars in till they got to the top floor. He went into the room to their left and sat down the bags on the bed. Aelita looked around his room and saw a robot in the corner. It reminded her of C3-PO from Star Wars.
“Have you figured out why you think you’ve seen this place before?” Jeremie asked. “Yes and no.” Aelita said. “Is there a room with a low ceiling? Like where the ceiling is the wall of the room?” “Ya, the rooms on the other side of the house are like that.” Jeremie said.
Aelita walked out of the room and went to the rooms on the other side of the house, above the kitchen. She saw one room that was set up to be a guest room and saw a crack in the wall. Jeremie came up behind her and saw that she was looking at the crack.
Aelita went over to the crack and followed it down to the floor. Underneath the cracked wall, she started to poke at the floor with her fingers in till she found a board in the wood flooring that wasn’t nailed in. She pulled it up and found a pile of stuff. She found a piece of paper and opened it up. In childish hand writing was “Dear Belpois,” Aelita read out loud. “May name is Aelita Hopper. I lived here in the years of 1984-1992. I am 9 years old and have pink hair. In the pile of stuff is a photo of me if you wish to see me.” Jeremie looked threw the stuff and found the photo. Aelita looked back at the paper and continued to read, “If you are not a Belpois who is reading this, than you must be the owners of this house after they moved out. They looked like a nice family. It was a family of two. A new couple, I guess. The woman looked like she was pregnant and was about to give birth. I hope everything turned out alright and that the child would be a smart child like his parents. Well, I guess I should close this letter. I hope I get to meet you in real life, but father says that would be unlikely. From Aelita Rose Hopper.” “It’s funny if you think about it.” Jeremie said, smiling. “My parents sometimes talked about the little girl that had lived in the house before we did. And to find out that she was you.” Aelita pulled out the rest of the stuff that was hidden and found an old lunch box. On the front was Mickey Mouse from Disney. Aelita opened it and found a necklace with a heart shaped locket. Aelita opened it and saw two photos. One was of her mother and the other was her father. Attached to it was a note. She opened it and read, “These are my parents. My mother, who died when I was little. My father is with me, but we had to leave here because of his job.” Jeremie took the locket and put it around Aelita’s neck. “Children!” Mrs. Belpois called up stairs. Aelita and Jeremie grabbed the stuff and covered the hole back up. They threw the stuff in Jeremie’s room and went down stairs only to see Patrick Belpois and his mom and dad in the living room. “Oh, hey Aelita, Jeremie.” Patrick said.
“Hi Patrick.” Aelita said.
“Hey Patrick.” Jeremie said.
“What’cha doing here?” Patrick asked Aelita. “Jeremie’s dad said I could spend Christmas vacation here.” Aelita explained. “Jeremie, Aelita, could you help them get their stuff upstairs?” Jeremie’s mom asked them. “Sure.” Aelita said as she grabbed some of the bags. As the two walked upstairs with the luggage, Aelita heard Jeremie’s mom say, “I wish I knew why Aelita looked so familiar.” “She reminds me of that little girl that used to live here.” Jeremie’s dad said. “I wonder if they’re related?”
“Who knows.” Patrick’s mom said.
“It’s ok.” Jeremie said, his eyes soft. He held her hand as they walked back into his room. Not to far away was Patrick watching from the doorway of his room. Inside Jeremie’s room, on the floor, was a pile of blankets set up for Aelita’s bed. “You sure you don’t want the bed?” Jeremie asked. “It’s your bed, Jeremie.”Aelita said as she set up the blankets on the floor to make more of a bed. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” “Where’s Mr. Pück?” Jeremie asked. “He’s right here with the scarf you gave me.” Aelita said as she reached into her bag and found both the scarf and Mr. Pück. Knock knock! “Come in.” Jeremie called. Jeremie’s dad opened the door and saw the two. “You guys ready for bed?” “Yap.” Aelita said with a smile. “Thank you again for letting me spend the holidays here.” “No problem.” He said. “Well, get some sleep, tomorrow we’ve got to get ready for everyone to get here. Good night.” “Good night.” Jeremie and Aelita said as the same time. Jeremie’s dad smiled and shut the door. “You’re lucky Jeremie.” Aelita said as she watched him go over to the light switch. “Why you say that?” Jeremie asked as he turned off the lights. “You’re parents are so nice.” Aelita said. “I’m sure your parents were too.” Jeremie said. “I know your father is.” Jeremie made his way over to his bed and sat down on it. He turned the light on at the night stand and took off his glasses.
Meanwhile, Aelita had gotten on the bed next to him. “Jeremie, I’m glad all of that did happen to my family.” “Why’s that?” Jeremie asked.
“Because I would’ve never met you.” Aelita said, wrapping her arms around Jeremie. “I love you, Jeremie.” Jeremie hugged her back and pushed some of her hair out of her face. “I love you too, Aelita.” Jeremie kissed her cheek and they sat like that for a while.
CRACK!
Aelita jumped at the sound of the thunder, not expecting it.
“You ok?” Jeremie asked as rain started to pound the window.
“Ya, I still don’t care for thunderstorms.” Aelita said. “Neither do I.” Jeremie admitted. “But, this time I have you here with me.” Aelita said, snuggling closer to Jeremie. Aelita yawned and Jeremie noticed. “Hate to be the party pooper, but we need to get some sleep.” “Ya, I guess you’re right.” Aelita said. She stood up and went down to her pile of blankets. “Actually, Aelita, it’s gonna be a cold night, and my room stinks at keeping in heat since after the storm passes there’s supposed to be a drop in the temperature.” Jeremie started. “You can sleep in my bed. It’s got a heating blanket.” “I don’t want you to have to sleep on the floor.” Aelita said, grabbing Mr. Pück, who had Aelita’s scarf on. “No, you can sleep with me.” Jeremie said. He pulled the blanket back as thunder crashed, causing him to shiver. “Ok.” Aelita said, smiling. Jeremie got in and scooted over to the wall and Aelita got in after him. She turned around and turned off his light. She turned back to Jeremie and hugged him as another crash of thunder sounded, louder than the rest. Jeremie put his arms around Aelita and pulled her closer to his body. Aelita went to kiss Jeremie’s cheek, but didn’t notice he had moved in till she found that she was kissing his lips. Aelita backed away, embarrassed, but was stopped by Jeremie’s arms. Jeremie pulled her closer to him and kissed her on the lips very passionately. Aelita realized he wanted a good kiss and went in deeper with the kiss, that is, in till thunder cracked again, causing Jeremie to accidently bite her tongue. Aelita took her tongue back as Jeremie said, “I’m so sorry. I did not mean to-“ “It’s ok.” Aelita said, not talking like she normally does because her tongue hurt. “I’m sure if it had been the other way around, you’d be the one with the hurt tongue.” Outside, lighting struck close to the house, causing the room to be lit by the light. Aelita cringed as the thunder cracked, shaking the house. “It’s ok.” Jeremie said, running his hand threw her hair. Aelita looked at Jeremie’s face and saw his kind eyes, for once, not behind glasses. She smiled as she hugged him tighter.
“Jeremie, it’s for you.” Aelita said, still half asleep.
“Jeremie, you’ve got to go to the DMV today!” the voice said, “And this time, don’t fail it!”
“You failed a test?” Aelita asked, waking up.
“Ya, they worded the test wrong.” Jeremie said.
“Wake up you.” The male voice said. “I’ll come in and sit on you if you don’t open this door.”
“Get up!” Jeremie said, knowing who the voice belonged to.
“I’m getting up.” Aelita said as she started to get up when she fell out of the bed, taking some of the blanket with her. “Ahh!”
“Are you ok?” Jeremie asked.
“I’m fine.” Aelita said as the door opened.
A man that reminded Aelita of Jim came in.
“Oh ho ho, Jeremie’s becoming the lady’s man now, an’t he?” the man said.
“Shut up Jay.” Jeremie said, getting up and helped Aelita up.
“You’re a cute girl.” Jay said, looking at Aelita. “Name’s Jay, is your mother as cute as you are?”
“She’s dead.” Jeremie said as he walked past Jay to get his clothes.
“Oh, sorry.” Jay said.
“It’s ok, I didn’t really know her.” Aelita said.
“What time is it?” Jeremie asked, walking over to his nightstand and grabbing his glasses.
“It’s 11.” Jay said. “We’re finally going to get you driving.”
“Ugh.” Jeremie sighed. “I hate driving.”
“You drive better than Ulrich and Odd put together, so don’t feel bad.” Aelita said.
“Well, excuse me, Jay, but we’ve got to get dressed.” Jeremie said as he pushed his uncle out of the room.
“What about the cuty?” Jay asked as the door shut.
“You don’t really like him, do you?” Aelita asked as she went threw her bag and pulled out an outfit.
“When he’s sober, he’s good.” Jeremie said. “Problem is, he’s never sober.”
“That’s a family.” Aelita said. “Hey, I’m gonna change in the closet, you need anything from there?”
“No.” Jeremie said.
“Ok.” Aelita walked into the walk-in closet and turned the light on. She shut the door and started to change clothes.
“Him.” Aelita said, pointing to Jeremie. “100%on your test, in a few days, we’ll send you your learners permit. For now, sign this.” She put a piece of paper in front of him and handed him a paper. Jeremie signed it and she made a photo copy of it. She handed it back to Jeremie and left the two.
“So you past?” Jay asked as he and J
eremie’s dad walked over.“Ya.” ‘Good, you’re driving us shopping.” Jeremie’s dad said. Jeremie put the piece of paper in his pocket and went with them to the car. Aelita had to sit in the back with Jim so that Mr. Belpois could sit next to Jeremie. They drove down the road and to a parking garage. “Jeremie, you show Aelita the town while we find some Christmas presents for everyone.” Jay said. “Alright.” Jeremie said. He grabbed Aelita’s hand and took her out of the garage and went to the west. Snow started to fall down. Aelita threw the scarf over her shoulder as the snow fell down. “Where are we going?” “There’s this little place not far from here, you might like.” Jeremie said, walking on the sidewalk.
Aelita took Jeremie’s hand and squeezed it. “Thank you Jeremie.”
“For what?” “For you just being there.” “Well, your welcome, but you don't have to thank me.” They walked a little farther and came up to an old styled shop. Jeremie opened the door and let her walk in first. Aelita walked in and gasped at what she saw. Jeremie came up from behind her and smiled. “So, you do like this place?” “Yes.” Aelita said. They were inside a Disney store. It was the only thing Jeremie could think of that she would like.
“I love you too Aelita.” Jeremie said. Jeremie felt Aelita grip a bit too tight. “Aelita, could you let go?”
“Jeremie.” Aelita said, shaking her head. Her eyes still closed. “Where are you?” “Aelita?” Jeremie asked, wondering what she was talking about. Than it hit him, she was dreaming and it was ending as a nightmare. Jeremie did the first thing that came into his mind on how to wake her up and save his penis from getting squashed to death. He took her head and moved it so he was looking straight at her face and kissed her as passionately as he had ever imagined. Aelita’s eyes flew open as she woke up. Jeremie saw that she was awake and ended the kiss, much to his disappointment. “Man that was a weird dream.” Aelita said, not realizing her hand was still squeezing Jeremie’s penis. “Uh, Aelita.” Jeremie said, in a lot of pain now with her fingernails going in, “Could you let go?” “What?” Aelita asked. Than she felt that she was griping something and let go.”Oh.” “Thank you.” “I’m sorry Jeremie, I didn’t know I was actually doing it to you.” Aelita said. “It’s ok.” Jeremie said, putting his arms around Aelita and bringing her closer to him only to find out that she had taken her bra off that night. “Before the dream turned into a nightmare, I liked it.” “Ok, you did, did you?” Aelita asked, a smile on her face.
“What was your dream like to you?” Jeremie asked.
“You were wearing nothing at all and I was playing with your penis.” Aelita said.
“Well then.” Jeremie said as he shifted in the bed so that he was able to push down his pants and underwear. “I can make your good dream come true.” He took Aelita’s hand and let her feel that he wasn’t wearing anything past his waist. Aelita smiled as she started to play with his penis. Jeremie’s eyes started to drupe as he felt it. The two started to fall asleep and neither of them realized it.
The kid went over to the bed and jumped up to it.
“Hey!” Jeremie yelled as a foot fell onto Aelita’s hand, which was still gripping Jeremie’s penis.
“Ohw!” Aelita said as she took her hand back. “Why is there a girl in your bed, Jeremie?” the kid asked. “Gorge, get out.” Jeremie said as he doubled over, holding his balls where the kid had stepped on. Gorge got off the bed. Aelita sat up and threw the blanket off of her, and Jeremie. “Ha ha ha!” Gorge started to laugh. “Jeremie’s got no pants on!”
Aelita and Jeremie looked down and saw that he was still naked from the waist down and grabbed the blanket to cover himself, his cheeks going red.
Aelita got up out of the bed. “Come on Gorge, out of the room. And don’t tell anyone about this, ok?” Gorge looked like he was mesmerized by Aelita’s look and only nodded his head as he went out of the room, shutting the door. “How’d you do that?” Jeremie asked. “I don’t know really.” Aelita said as she went back over to the bed. “What happened to your pants anyway?”
“I don’t know, but it goes with the dream I had last night.” Jeremie said as he took the top blanket and wrapped it around his waist and looked around for his pants and underwear.
“What was your dream last night, cause I had one I loved.” Aelita said, looking on the floor by the foot of the bed.
“Oh, I didn’t have any pants on and you were doing what you were doing when Gorge stepped on your hand.” Jeremie said as it hit him. “That wasn’t a dream, was it?” “I don’t think it was now.” Aelita said as she picked up his blue pants with his underwear. She handed it to him and he put them on before getting out of bed. “Who’s Gorge anyway?” Aelita asked as she went over to her bag to grab her clothes. “He’s my cousin.” Jeremie said. He went over to Aelita and hugged her from behind, putting his hands around Aelita’s boobs.
Aelita straitened up and smiled. She reached behind her and grabbed Jeremie’s butt cheeks. “You know, if anyone found out what we’ve done in these past couple of days, they wouldn’t believe it.” “Let them not believe it.” Jeremie said. Knock “You guys up yet?” Patrick’s voice called in. “Ya, I’m getting dressed.” Jeremie called out as he let go of Aelita and went over to his dresser. “Well, hurry up. Dad’s getting the TV set up.” Patrick said as he started to walk away. The two got dressed and headed down the stairs to see that even more people had appeared. They were all gathering around the TV with Patrick’s father on a laptop that had a cord going to the TV. He looked up and said, “Oh, you two are just in time. It’s about to start.” “What is it?” Aelita asked as the two sat down on the floor in front of the TV.
“It’s the fruit cake toss in Colorado. It’s gotten to be a tradition since Uncle Wesley started to get second place.” Jeremie answered. “Ya, and if he wins, he’s gonna be here for Christmas.” Gorge said. “Here we go, it’s started.” Jeremie’s dad said as the TV showed the fruit cake toss.
Once it was over, the winner was announced. Wesley had gotten second place again. “Oh well, people can always hope.” A man Aelita didn’t know the name of said from next to Patrick.
“You said that Jeremie wouldn’t make it this year, but he did!” Patrick said. “So hand it over.”
“Here.” Jay said as he opened his wallet and handed Patrick a ten euro bill. “What, is this your first time making it to midnight?” Aelita asked in disbelief. “He can’t stay up in till nine o’clock on a normal day.” Patrick said, laughing. “And I have problems making you get some sleep.” Aelita said, smiling.
“Nanna! Open your gift!” Alexa said as she went over to the elderly woman. The woman smiled as she opened the gift from her granddaughter. It was a homemade ornament. “Thank you dear.” She said, smiling as she hugged the girl.
Once Patrick had opened his present, it was Jeremie’s turn. He opened the gift that Alexa had given him to open and found out that it was from his mother. He ripped open the wrapping paper and his cheeks went red as the paper fell to the ground were his feet was. “Well, what’cha get?” Jay asked. “Uh.” Jeremie started as he lifted up the present. “Underwear.” Someone started to laugh as Jeremie sat his present on the floor. “I know one person who’s gonna see him in those.” Jay said, looking down at Aelita, who was blushing. “Your turn 'Lita!” Alexa said as she went over to sit next to the pink haired girl. “Ok.” Aelita said, not sounding sure. She read the tag and saw it was from Jeremie as she tore off the wrapping. Inside was a small box. She took the lid off of the box and saw that it was a pink gem-ed ring. Jeremie took the ring out of the box and took Aelita’s left hand. “I promise.” Jeremie said as he put it on her ring finger. “Kiss, kiss, kiss.” Jay started to chant. Almost everyone else joined in, making the two to blush. Aelita leaned over to Jeremie and kissed him on the lips, causing everyone in the room to clap. She let go and smiled at Jeremie, who was blushing more than usual.
“Alexa’s turn!” Alexa said, loud enough to get everyone’s attention. She ripped open her gift and took out a teddy bear.
Jeremie laid down in his bed and let Aelita under the blankets with him. Aelita sat down on the bed and turned around so that she was looking at Jeremie. “I’m loving this Christmas.” Aelita said as she put her arms around Jeremie. Jeremie took her in his arms and felt that she wasn’t wearing a bra again. “I like it when you don’t wear that bra of yours.” “Well, I like it when you’re not wearing anything at all.” Aelita said, smiling. “Lights out kids!” Mr. Belpois called from the hallway. “Night!” Jeremie called as he reached over Aelita and was able to turn the light off. Jeremie went back to looking at Aelita as his eyes adjusted to the lighting. Aelita took his hand and moved it to her waist, showing him that she had pushed up her night shirt. Jeremie leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth. Aelita grabbed his tongue and started to French kiss Jeremie, making him go closer to her. Jeremie pushed up her night shirt so that he was able to get to her boobs. Aelita let go of the kiss, breathing hard. “You ok?” Jeremie asked. “Ya, I’m fine, just need air.” Aelita said as she moved her hands to move Jeremie’s pants down, leaving his underwear on. Jeremie unbuttoned his shirt so that Aelita’s chest was next to his. Aelita put her hands behind Jeremie’s back, underneath his shirt, and pulled him closer to her body. “I love you so much.” Aelita said in Jeremie’s ear.
“I love you too.” Jeremie said, as he went over to her neck and kissed her there. Aelita moved around and got Jeremie’s lips on hers again, distracting him as she went down to his penis and started to play with it.
Jeremie’s eyes fell a little bit as he tried to keep kissing Aelita as he felt himself relaxes.
Aelita turned around far enough to see the clock and saw that it was seven in the morning. It sounded like everyone else was still asleep.
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up.” Aelita whispered.
“It’s ok.” Jeremie said as he felt Aelita still playing with his penis. “I like the way you woke me up.”
“Oh, you do?” Aelita said as she rubbed the tip of his penis. His face went farther into pleasure as he felt it.
“Oh, you’re gonna get it now.” Jeremie said as he went down to her underwear and pushed it down so that he could get into her pussy. He went up her virgina and started to play around, causing Aelita to stop playing for a second as she felt him.
“Oh, that’s soooo good.” Aelita said as she recovered herself so that she could play with his penis again.
Kiwi ran straight to Aelita’s lap, licking her face. He jumped over to Jeremie’s lap, who was sitting next to her, and started to do the same thing. Odd and his family walked in with the Sterns and the Ishiyamas. “So we get rid of one family and get the other?” Mrs. Belpois asked, smiling. “You haven’t fully gotten rid of your family.” Jay said as he walked from the kitchen, a beer in his hand.
“Man, I thought you left a while back.” Mr. Belpois said, smiling at his brother. “Who’s the big guy that looks like Jim?” Ulrich asked Jeremie. “Jay.” Jeremie said.
“I can’t believe you all got here.” Aelita said. “I’m wondering what’s happened in the past week.” Yumi said, looking at how close they were sitting on the love sofa. “Ya, you’re making that love sofa have a spot big enough for me to sit down.” Jay said as he sat down in the lazy boy. “I wouldn’t mind it either, sitin’ so close to a pretty girl like you.”
Aelita scooted over, her cheeks red with embarrassment. “Has he been like that the whole time?” Odd asked as he sat down on the floor with his dog.
Aelita nodded. “Ya, well, you should see the nice rock our Jeremie gave her.” Jay said, taking a sip of his beer. This time, it was Jeremie’s time to be embarrassed. “That’s enough Jay.” Mr. Belpois said sternly. “I’ve got to get going over to seven-eleven anyway.” Jay said as he stood up and crushed the can in his hand. “We’re out of beer.” Jay walked over to the door and grabbed his jacket. He put it on and walked out the door. “This is going to be one weird New Years.” Ulrich said as he saw his father's expression to Jeremie’s uncle. “Let’s make the most of the time we’ve got while he’s away.” Mrs. Belpois said as she got up. “We’ll help you get all of your bags in and up to the rooms.” Aelita, Jeremie, Mr. Belpois, and Odd got up and went outside to help everyone get their luggage.
“I can’t skate at all.” Ulrich said as he finished lasing up his skates.
Yumi walked over to Ulrich and helped him stand up. They saw Aelita and Jeremie sitting on the benches with Odd’s parents as they walked over to the ice rink. Yumi glided on the ice and turned around to watch Ulrich get onto the ice, holding onto the side of the rink. Yumi glided back over to Ulrich and grabbed his hand to steady him. He got standing still and then looked at Yumi, blushing. “Thanks.”
Yumi smiled back and said, “Your welcome, now, come on. It’s easy.”
“For you.” Ulrich said with a smile.
The group stayed there for a while. What was surprising to everyone was when Mr. Stern got out on the ice and made a complete idiot out of himself and had fun. His wife made a comment about being glad to see the old man she married sixteen years ago.
They went back home after grabbing a bite to eat and walked into the house as the sun started to go down. Before they new it, it was almost midnight.
“How are you feeling?” Jeremie asked Aelita as Odd was coming back from the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn.
“I’m better.” Aelita said.
Odd sat down next to Aelita on the sofa and started to eat the popcorn.
“Yo gluten,” Ulrich said as he reached over to grab some popcorn. “Share.”
“Hey guys, it’s starting.” Yumi said, looking at the tv. It was on to the new years celebration.
“I can’t believe it’s already a new year.” Mr. Della Robbia said as he put his arm around his wife.
"Dix, neuf, huit, sept, six, cinq," the announcer on the tv started to count down as the Eifel tower was getting lit up, level by level. "Quarte, trios, deux, un!"
Fireworks started to shoot off behind the Eifel tower.
"Happy New Years Kids!" Mrs. Belpois said.
Music started to play and Jeremie started to sing along.
"Faut-il nous quitter sans espoir, sans espoir de retour. Faut-il nous quitter sans espoir de nous revoir un jour?" (Must it leave us without hope, without hope of return. Must it leave us without hope of seeing each other agian one day?)
His friends looked at him and Aelita sang with him, singing, "Ce n'est qu'un au revoir, mes frese, ce n'est qu'un au revoir! Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes freres, ce n'est qu'un au revoir." (It's not only good-bye, my brothers, it's not only good-bye! Yes, we will see each other again, my brothers, it's not only good-bye.)
One by one, the friends started to sing together Choral des Adieux.
"Les vieux amis du temps passé, se sont-ils oublies? Alors que nos coeurs ont garde l'amour du temps passe? (Old friends from long ago, are they forgotten? While our hearts have kept love from long ago?)
"Au bon vieux temps mes chers amis, au jours du bon vieux temps. Buvons un verre mqintenant, aux jours du bon vieux temps. (To the good old days my dear friends, to the good old days. Let's drink a glass now, to the good old days.)
"Formons de nos mains qui s'enlacent, au declin de ce jour. Formons de nos mains qui s'enlancent, une chaine d'amour.
"Ce n'est qu'un au revoir, mes frese, ce n'est qu'un au revoir! Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes freres, ce n'est qu'un au revoir.(It's not only good-bye, my brothers, it's not only good-bye! Yes, we will see each other again, my brothers, it's not only good-bye.)
"Amis, unis par cette chaine, aurour du même feu. Amis, unis par cette chaine, ne faisons point d'adieux. (Friends, linked by this chain, around the same fire. Friends, linked by this chain, let's not say farewell.)
"Au bon vieux temps mes chers amis, au jours du bon vieux temps. Buvons un verre mqintenant, aux jours du bon vieux temps.(To the good old days my dear friends, to the good old days. Let's drink a glass now, to the good old days.)
"Car l'ideal qui nous rassemle vivra dans l'avenir. Car l'ideal qui nous rassemble, saura nous reunir. (For the ideal that brings us together will live in the future. For the ideal that brings us together, will know how to reunite us.)
"Ce n'est qu'un au revoir, mes frese, ce n'est qu'un au revoir! Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes freres, ce n'est qu'un au revoir."(It's not only good-bye, my brothers, it's not only good-bye! Yes, we will see each other again, my brothers, it's not only good-bye.)
