Adjustments by ImoutoCommissions

   Aelita's first evening staying at Yumi's house is going pretty well, 
or at least she thinks that it is.  At least, the other girl has had no 
complaints, though it's difficult for her to understand everything that 
is expected of her, and everything that she needs to expect of herself. 
This body, this world, are all very strange and new to her, and she has 
a lot to adjust to.

   She eats dinner with Yumi and her family, and keeps mostly to herself 
to avoid doing anything out of the ordinary. She can't afford to ask 
Yumi any weird questions or say anything that would make it obvious that 
she's still learning how to be human. That seems easy enough, but then, 
she feels an unfamiliar twinge in her stomach, one that is low and one 
that is somewhat uncomfortable. Now that she thinks about it, she's felt 
somewhat...heavy in that area for a little while, but didn't think 
anything of it before. However, now it has become a more consistent 
pressure, resulting in another twinge, and she doesn't know if that's 
something that she's supposed to feel or not.

   She decides that she will ask Yumi after dinner, and that she can 
deal with it between now and then. In the meantime, she is enjoying the 
meal quite a bit, and thoroughly enjoying her new senses of taste and 
smell, that allow her to even participate in it. It's hard not to relax 
in a situation like this, and therefore easy for her to ignore the 
pressure in her lower abdomen. In fact, she relaxes so much that she 
doesn't notice those feelings at all, and feels much better as a result.

   Of course, little does she know that this is the absolutely worst 
thing that she can do in a situation like this. Little does she know 
that relaxing too much will allow her bladder to relax, and once that 
happens, it isn't long before it is so relaxed that it empties its 
contents, and Aelita begins to wet herself for the first time. At first, 
all she feels is a pleasant warmth spreading through her lap as the 
pressure begins to dissipate, but then, the warmth spreads more and more 
and she realizes that the chair she sits on is wet, and then the liquid 
drips over the edge of the chair, and begins splashing onto the floor 
beneath her, the conversation at the table going silent as everyone 
tries to pinpoint the source of the noise.

Finally, all eyes land on Aelita and Yumi's face goes to one of horror 
as everyone realizes what's happening. Immediately, she flies over to 
her friend, standing by her chair and saying, "O-oh, you poor thing! 
Were you just too shy?"

"Yes?" Aelita says, because she feels like she should.

While Yumi's family tries to make her feel better about this mishap, 
Yumi goes on to say that she'll help get everything cleaned up, and 
drags Aelita off, still not quite believing that this happened. "What 
just happened?" she asks.

Aelita tries to explain the strange sensation, finishing it with, "I was 
going to ask you what it meant after dinner. Did I make a mistake?"

"Did Jeremie not explain that to you?" asks Yumi in complete disbelief. 
"Come on, take a bath and get ready for bed, and make sure you use the 
toilet just in case."

At Aelita's confused expression, she groans. "So, he didn't tell you 
anything about personal hygiene. That's great." Sighing, she says, 
"Well, I guess you've got to learn sometime."

First, she goes through a rather embarrassing explanation of using the 
bathroom, and explains why what Aelita did was embarrassing and 
shouldn't happen, and then she strips her down and gets her in the 
bathtub, explaining bathing to her and making sure that she gets 
properly clean, which is definitely not something she ever thought she 
would have to do to someone Aelita's age.

Once that's all said and done, she gets her into some fresh pajamas, 
glad that she at least doesn't have to show her how to put them on, and 
shows her how to brush her teeth before bed. With all of that done, she 
hopes that there won't be any more mishaps, and the two settle in for 
the night.

Upon waking up the next morning, Yumi discovers that Aelita has wet the 
bed, though the girl at least seems more embarrassed about it this time, 
after learning what that means. And she even takes the initiative to get 
herself cleaned up, not needing any help, thankfully.

"But I thought that I went to the toilet like you told me to," she says 
sadly, while she's getting everything cleaned up. "I remember last 
night, I felt the twinge again, and I didn't even let it get as bad this 
time. I did exactly what you told me to and used a toilet immediately."

Yumi thinks about it for a moment before she says, "It might have just 
been a dream. If you were relaxed enough in your sleep, then the urge 
didn't actually wake you up, you just dreamed that you took care of it. 
Which lead to you doing it in real life."

"I do know about dreams," she replies, still looking embarrassed. Yumi 
is glad that she doesn't have to explain that, and is even more glad 
when she sees Aelita taking precautions and visiting the bathroom before 
they go to do anything else. Learning may take her some time, but she 
will eventually get the hang of everything.

The next time Aelita is alone with Jeremie, she decides to have a 
conversation with him about everything that transpired at Yumi's 
house. As she details everything that he didn't warn her about, he 
becomes more and more flustered, realizing that he left out those very 
basic things due to the personal nature of them, which embarrasses him 
on two counts. Both because he did leave them out, and because she's 
describing it all to him so shamelessly now.

"But it's okay," she says. "It could have been worse. It's kind of 
weird, and I don't really understand it, but I kind of liked it when I 
had an accident, you know? Do you think you can explain that to me 
someday?"

To put it simply, he nearly faints at her words.
