This is my first song-fic, it is a one-shot (just to let you know.) It is to the song "Graduation" by Vitamin C. This song is very special to my heart and every time I hear I cry so I decided to make a song-fic with my favorite show, Code Lyoko.
I do not own Code Lyoko. I do not own "Graduation" by Vitamin C either.
For the sake of the story, in this song-fic Yumi is the same grade as the rest of the gang. Xana is defeated by then and all is well. So read, enjoy, and cry!
Graduation
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
The Lyoko gang sat at the normal bench the night before the last day at Kadic. Graduation is tomorrow and after that they are all going their separate ways.
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
They talk about the old times when they were battling Xana. Looking back at memories makes them all sad and they wish they could go back, even for just a day.
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
They talk about all the things they are going to do once they graduate and how they want to meet up again. Inside they all know that will probably never happen.
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
They look at each other with sad eyes. Ulrich and Yumi catch each other's eyes and turn away. Jeremy and Aelita stare at each other as tears well up in everyones eyes.
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
The Lyoko gang departs, and Ulrich walks Yumi home for the last time. The rest go back to their dorms quietly, knowing that this is the last time they will do it.
And I keep thinking of that night in June
The next day they meet at the bench and head off to the auditorium for graduation.
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
Ulrich feels regret in his stomach as he sees Yumi walk across the stage. He never told her what he really felt about her. Now it is too late . . .
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Jeremy and Aelita hug at the end of graduation. Aelita starts sobbing and the rest of the gang soon joins in, even the guys.
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Odd looks around at his friends and sighs with sadness. He knows they will try to stay in touch but soon it will all come to an end and they will have to let go.
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
They laugh uneasily as they start to depart. With a final wave they turn and leave, all of them turning back reluctantly.
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
Forever they will remember all the things they have done together
All the times we
Had together
Even if they never meet again.
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
Whatever they do with their lives, none of them will let themselves forget about their old friends.
We will still be
Friends Forever
Forever they will be friends, and every day they will think of the each other.
So if we get the big jobs
Aelita becomes a well-known politician in the United States.
And we make the big money
Jeremy slowly builds up until heis a multi-billionaire computer design company owner.
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Odd becomes a famous comedian in France, and he earns millions of dollars.
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Yumi works as a teacher at a small school in Japan.
Still be trying to break every single rule
Ulrich goes to military school and ends up as a police officer in a small town.
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
Other Kadic students get jobs too, Sissy ends up as a model and William becomes a lawyer.
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Even as adults the Lyoko gang still looks back at their days at Kadic. They had the time of their lives there.
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
Forever they will remember all the things they have done together
All the times we
Had together
Even if they never meet again.
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
Whatever they do with their lives, none of them will let themselves forget about their old friends.
We will still be
Friends Forever
Forever they will be friends, and every day they will think of the each other.
La, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Soon all of the Lyoko gangs start there own families and have totally new lives.
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
They all make good money and have very happy lives.
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
When they get Christmas cards from each other, each year it shocks all of them how quick life did go by.
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
Never do they forget Xana and Lyoko, they wish their whole lives that things ended up differently even though they had ended up being good.
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Never do they meet up again. Each one of them dies without seeing the others. Their lives were happy but never complete.
As we go on
We remember
Forever they will remember all the things they have done together
All the times we
Had together
Even if they never meet again.
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
Whatever they do with their lives, none of them will let themselves forget about their old friends.
We will still be
Friends Forever
Forever they will be friends, and every day they will think of each other.
Did you like? I may have disappointed you with the outcomes of their lives. The song-fic would not have worked out if they all split into couples and stayed in touch for the rest of their lives. Please review!
