"Sisters?"

How can it be...?

Aelita shook her head, almost refusing to accept the code being sisters.

"We need to deactivate this tower right?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah but-"

"Okay, let's do this."

Jenny typed in the word sisters and the tower was deactivated.

The tower turn blue and all the mobs disappeared.

"How?"

Jenny shook her head, "I don't know."

The both of them stared into each others eyes and suddenly, a portal came out of nowhere.

They gasp.

"What's going on? Are you girls alright?" Jeremy asked, slightly worried at them.

"We're fine- just give us a minute." Aelita replied.

"Should we?" Jenny asked.

Aelita shook her head, "Later. Odd needs to be waken up again."

Jenny nodded.

"Let's go Jeremy, back to the past."

Jeremy's fingers moved across the keyboard it was as if he could type the commands blindfolded.

All of them were in Jeremy's room, the only confused person there is Odd. He has absolutely no idea in what has happened.

"You're saying the code was just 'Wilhemina', it was also 'Sisters'?" Jeremy looked intensely into Aelita's eyes.

He was very focused, hence his intense stare.

"Yes." Aelita nodded.

Yumi's forehead started to frown, "Wait, wait. Does that mean you guys are... sisters?"

Jenny looked at Aelita and Aelita looked at Jenny.

"At this point we can only guess. Assume. We need to confirm it ourselves. I was told my parents died in a car crash. Never once was there a mention of a 'sister' to me." Jenny said.

Aelita continued, "I know we keep saying this, but Jeremy, we need to go back to Lyoko."

Aelita gently held Jeremy's hands and brought it to her lap. She looked into Jeremy's eyes, seeking any sign of approval.

"I don't know Aelita... there's just too much Lyoko this and that. Your sister, XANA, Jenny and now you guys could be siblings?! I mean... we need a break to just, chill." Jeremy leaned back, removing his hands from Aelita's grasp.

He turned away to not look at Aelita, because he knows that if he does keep looking into her eyes, he would eventually give in to her.

Yumi, Ulrich and Odd kept quiet, none of them know really what to do. It's not that they don't want to help, but with so much going on recently they need to have some space to breathe.

Aelita frowned and slumped into her chair.

"It's okay. We get it. We all need a break, especially you, Aelita." Jenny said while patting Aelita's back.

"I guess." Aelita sighed.

Yumi got up from her seat, stretching out her arms, "Come on, let's go to sleep. We'll figure this out tomorrow."
