Extensive optical and VHE data on AE Aquarii obtained over the last four years are described. The optical data are analyzed, and it is shown that AE Aqr shows definite emission patterns during flares which may be used to identify possible VHE emission. It is demonstrated that the total VHE data base show indications of emission similar to optical emission from AE Aqr during flares. Exhaustive tests show that these are not systematic effects. The temporal behavior of the VHE emission supports the notion of flarelike emission. Results of the two simultaneous optical and VHE observation are presented which show the correlation of the pulsed emission in the two energy bands.
