The time spent fighting XANA had made Jeremie edgy. There were times Sissi had to literally pull him from the computer lab just to eat. "And if I hear you typing on any type of computer, I'm sic'ing Aelita on you!" Though an empty threat, it was nonetheless effective. However, Einstein noticed something. Lately, XANA's attack seemed to be targeted, not just on the Lyoko warriors, but specifically Jeremie, Aelita, and Sissi, the only people to operate the supercomputer. The best thing to do was to teach the others how to operate the supercomputer. "And I'm teaching them?" Sissi asked while they were in Jeremie's room. "How come?"
"I'd just confuse them," Jeremie shrugged.
"And I have to practice for the Sub-Digitals this afternoon," Aelita sighed.
"And what," Sissi muttered, "I don't have anything else to do?"
"Do you?" Jeremie asked sincerely.
Rolling her eyes, Sissi grumbled under her breath, "Okay, so now I'm tasked with the overwhelming challenge of teaching four different people how to manage the supercomputer."
"Why four?" Yumi asked.
"Hello?" William waved his hand.
Yumi narrowed her eyes. "Are you sure it's a good idea to have William at the controls?"
"He can't be possessed by XANA on Earth anymore, you don't seem to trust him on Lyoko, and because he, Ulrich, and Aelita are training with me, he can hold off XANA should the need arise," the Dragon Queen smirked, crossing her arms. "Any objections?" The tiger would have snarled if the others weren't around.
"Sounds solid to me," Ulrich smiled. Yumi fumed quietly.
"Now," Sissi paced around the room, "I have to figure out how to teach you guys."
"Can't we do it another time? I have a test to study for," Yumi protested.
"Me too," William added.
"And I have fighting practice after class," Ulrich replied. "Not all of us are naturally gifted after an accident."
Sissi stuck out her tongue. "Don't worry. Once I figure out how to teach you guys, you'll be able to learn it just like you learned Physics. And it should be fast too." She walked around the room partially with her eyes closed. She kinda bounced on her feet as if she were dancing and moved her hands like she was orchestrating a symphony.
"Uh... are you okay, Sissi?" Jeremie asked.
"She does this a lot when she's thinking," Odd said, "You should see her when she's inventing." Sissi "danced" around the room until she elegantly fell onto Jeremie's bed as if it were a bed of feather.
"Uh... Sissi," William ventured to speak, "Are you oka-"
"I GOT IT!" Sissi shouted as she rushed out the door. Everyone else simply shrugged.

"Here's a puzzle to figure out," Sissi said to them a little bit later. She handed them papers with fun little doodles on them. The whole thing looked like it was in code. The bundles of paper came with a code sheet. "I want you to finish figuring out the code when you come to the factory after lunch, okay?"
"How is this supposed to help them with the Supercomputer?" Jeremie asked.
Sissi winked, "You'll see." The team went their different ways and soon lunch came around. At the factory, Sissi waited for the others, leaning on Jeremie's chair. The blonde glared into the screen. "What's wrong?"
