TM Response #266 - Start Something
I need to start over.
It's taken me over a year to realize this, mainly because I've spent the better part of that time fighting against it. I think it's because Jeremie was so insistent that I just abandon my old life completely in favor of my new one with him and the others. Every time he brought it up it made me so angry, and we always ended up fighting over it. Yumi, Ulrich and Odd finally staged an intervention and had us talk things out calmly and rationally, and we were finally able to see and understand each others viewpoints.
Jeremie's right; I can't live my life as Aelita Schaeffer any more. I have to let go of my past and focus on my new life as Aelita Stones.
So we're working on it. Jeremie has been putting his computer skills to use building me a clean paper trail. Yumi, Ulrich and Odd have been helping me go through the Hermitage looking for any keepsakes I may want to hold on to or any of Daddy's papers that haven't been destroyed yet and need to be. We've also made certain that the door and tunnel that lead to the factory are blocked off to keep anyone from finding Lyoko again.
And so, all the pieces of my life that were Aelita Schaeffer are safely tucked away in a box in the closet of my dorm room, until they can be transferred to a safety deposit box or something. As of now, Aelita Jane Schaeffer his dead.
My name - my life - is Aelita Stones.
