TM Response #145 - Tell the truth about something you usually lie about.
[locked from any French government officials]
There's a game I learned at summer camp, called "Three Truths and a Lie". Each person told four facts about themselves, but one fact had to be false. The object of the game was to tell these facts about yourself so convincingly that you stumped the others about which one was the lie.
My name is Aelita Stones, I'm almost 13 and I'm Odd Della Robia's cousin from Edmonton, Canada. I am currently an eighth grade student at Kadic Academy in France. One of my hobbies is mixing music, and I once dee-jayed a school dance at Kadic. My boyfriend's name is Jeremie Belpois, and since we're both intellectuals one of the school bullies calls us "Mr. and Mrs. Einstein".
The first statement is the false one; my name is not Aelita Stones, I'm not Odd's cousin and I'm not from Canada. My real name is Aelita Jane Hopper. My father is Franz Hopper, a former teacher at Kadic and the creator of Lyoko and XANA. And while I may still physically look thirteen years old, in truth I am closer to twenty-four or twenty-five.
Only Odd, Jeremie, Yumi and Ulrich know the truth about my real identity. To the rest of France, Aelita and Franz Hopper have been missing and presumed dead for over ten years. They disappeared while fleeing from government agents who had been sent to arrest Franz, because he was attempting to destroy Project Carthage.
No one can know that my father and I virtualized ourselves onto Lyoko the day we vanished. I get nightmares thinking about what might happen if our secret was found out. I'd be arrested, and possibly Jeremie, Ulrich, Yumi and Odd too if their connection to Lyoko was discovered. The supercomputer would be found in the factory, turned off and dismantled by the government; although it wouldn't do anything about XANA now, my father would surely be killed. My old home, the Hermitage, would be ransacked as the government looked for any information they could about Lyoko and XANA, then probably torn down.
And as for me? I'd probably end up some scientist's lab rat. They'd want to know how Aelita Hopper remained missing for ten years but hadn't aged a day over twelve. After that...
I can never tell. I don't think I can ever go back to being Aelita Hopper again, not without bringing trouble down on the heads of my friends. So I must remain Aelita Stones from Edmonton, Canada.
