Code Lyoko: Revolutions and Evolutions

Chapter 42

N/Disclaimer: I am happy about this chapter. I have thrilled to have written it. The points of the argument of Johnathan Barrow and his guidance for Sylvia is derived from Ravi Zacharias's interview with Ben Shapiro from an interview in 2016. Therefore, what I have written in the memory tapes is a directly typed transcript and has been inserted without alteration. All rights and property holdings belong to their associated affiliates, and I in no way claim ownership.

Thank you all readers and reviewers, and thanks be to God for providing me the framework for what I needed to progress this chapter. Read, review, and enjoy. See you next chapter.-Pagliacci-11

There was a knock at the door, and Aelita gradually awoke to the continued pattern of knocking at her door. Aelita yawned, and after stretching, she opened to see Jim with a box in his arms, and a cot propped against the door.

"Morning, Stones," Jim said as he entered the room, "You'll be getting a new roommate effective immediately." Placing the box in a corner, Jim then headed back outside and brought in the cot from the hall.

Aelita looked at him, "Excuse me, Jim, what about Amelia? What happened to her?"

"Miss. Beck has been relocated to bunk with Claire Girard. After an evaluation of what happened to you two in the gym by Mr. Delmas, we deemed it best for Beck to be moved to be with someone else. It was either that or expulsion. Out of consideration for her father working here on the night shift, we decided that despite the zero-tolerance policy, a one-time warning would suffice to change her tune about her outward aggression."

"I didn't think it would be that much of a problem, Jim. I didn't want her to get into trouble." Aelita said.

"It's not your fault, Aelita. The girl has only herself to blame, she is a hot-head, and we can't exactly have her going off the handle on any student. She has been disciplined, but she will be watched. You'll have a new roommate to bunk with you, and she'll be here around this afternoon."

"What's her name, Jim?" Aelita asked as she sat down on her bed.

"Her name is Jacqueline Gray. I think you will like her, honestly. She seems to be a very smart person, if a bit too quiet, but who am I to judge?"

Aelita looked at him, "What do you mean, too quiet?"

Jim brought in another box and said, "You'll just have to see her for yourself." Jim looked at Amelia's books and her shelves, "Well, best, move this stuff out."

Aelita then said, "Excuse me, Jim. May I get dressed and go about my day before you continue?"

"Of course, sorry. Take the time you need. I'll be down in Claire's room, getting things set up down there, so come get me when you are ready."

Aelita nodded, and Jim headed out. Aelita moved quickly, knowing that Jim had a busy day ahead of him, considering he had to move two students into their respective rooms. Aelita, therefore quickly showered and dressed, and once she was put together, she grabbed her phone and headed down to Claire's room. Jim was cleaning up a few things, and Aelita saw Amelia sitting on a temporary cot while watching Jim.

Aelita knocked on the door, "Jim? The room's ready for you to do what's needed."

Jim nodded, "Thanks, Stones. Come on, Beck, let's get your stuff transferred."

Amelia stood and followed Jim passing by Aelita without a word, but Aelita stopped her, "Milly, a word, please?"

Amelia looked at her, but Aelita noticed something was somewhat off. It was as if Amelia was looking at her but not seeing her, it was a sensation that Aelita found quite strange. Suddenly Amelia spoke, "How may I help you?"
