Chapter 1: The Dream

Yumi just said 'I love you'. How could that be? I didn't think she could ever love me. How could she? Ulrich thought on his way back to the school. And did she just kiss me. He rubbed his lips. They were still hot from where yumi kissed him. As he walked back to the school he tried to remember what happened that night. The Party. The Note. William. Yumi. The Time in Lyoko. The Digital Void. Then the Kiss. It was all jumbled up in his head as he walked back. 3:06am his watch flashed and he started to run or he wouldn't get to sleep. He was just happy that they only had class until lunch. That way he only had three class periods.

When he finally got to the school, he quietly opened the door, got undressed, and went to sleep. Odd was already there, sound asleep. It was 3:27 am on the clock when Ulrich closed his eyes for the last time until morning classes.

DREAM

"Ulrich! Ulrich! Come quickly!" Said a voice so familiar and yet he didn't know who it was. They were in a room, but it looked more like a bay covered in dark gray mist. He could only just make out the shadow of the person who must be that voice. "Ulrich! Ulrich! Come to me! I need you, Ulrich!" The voice grew fainter as he saw the shadow moving away. He started to run. He kept moving, yet he didn't seem to be getting any closer to the voice or even where it was coming from. All he could do was keep running and running. "Ulrich! Come to me! Come quickly! Ulrich! Ulrich!" The same voice kept calling to him over and over. He recognized the tone and he knew it was female. He just didn't know who she was or why she needed and wanted him. "Ulrich! Ulrich! Come to me. Ulrich. Ulrich," She said as he kept running toward the voice as it grew fainter and fainter. The Ulrich still in his room asleep was tossing and turning as he struggled in his dream to find the voice.

"Ulrich!" she kept calling.

"Who are you?!" Ulrich finally yelled back. "Who are you and how do you know me? Why do you need my help?" All these questions seemed jumbled and quite in the vast emptiness of that place. He couldn't keep running but he had to. He started to run again, always asking those questions. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" Ulrich asked again.

"Ulrich! Come to me." The strange but familiar voice said to him. "Ulrich. Come to me." She whispered as Ulrich woke up to the sound of his alarm clock.

END DREAM

He was sweating from head to toe as he looked over at his clock. 7:03am it said, clear as could be. It was all just a dream. He thought to himself as he looked over to see if Odd was already awake. It doesn't mean anything. It's just a dream. Odd was still asleep, drooling as usual.

"Odd, it's time to get up," Ulrich said, getting up out of the bed as he searched for a pair of semi-clean clothes he could put on. Odd blinked, then squinted and yawned. Then he went right back to sleep.

"Five more minutes," He said groggily, as he yawned.

"No, Odd. Now!"

"Ok, ok, I'm getting up," Odd wearily spoke as he sat up and yawned again.

Ulrich finished getting dressed, waited for Odd then hurried to the Cafeteria to get breakfast before it closed. 7:24 am, Ulrich's watch said as he started to speed up to a run.

"Odd, if we don't hurry we won't get any breakfast!"

"What do you mean?" Odd asked. "It closes at 7:30."

"Yea, I know and now it is 7:25."

"Well than hurry up!" Odd yelled as he started to run. "I can't skip breakfast!" Ulrich ran after Odd and got into the cafeteria just before 7:30. Today was pancakes. They scarfed them down and ran to Mrs. Hertz' room for first period. They made it just before the bell rung.

"Ok, class, I will take roll call then we shall get started. I hope all of you are glad that final exams are over and summer will be here in a week," Mrs. Hertz said. "Jeremie Belpois."

"Prescient."

"Odd Della Robbia."

"Here."

"Hey. Where were you guys?" Aelita asked leaning over toward Ulrich, while Mrs. Hertz went on with roll call.

"We woke up late," Ulrich whispered back to her. "Why?"

"You don't usually come in at the bell."

"Nicholas Puncheon."

"Here."

"Ulrich Stern."

"Here," Ulrich said looking up away from Aelita.

"Aelita Stones."

"Prescient, but from now on could you call me Aelita Hopper?"

"Yes, um, why sure," Mrs. Hertz said with a puzzled look. "Ok, that's everyone. Turn to page number 612 and read the next chapter. That is chapter 15. I'll be back in 30min. so read the chapter and I expect your best behavior."

"Aelita. Why the sudden change in name?" Jeremie asked as soon as Mrs. Hertz left.

"Oh, I don't know. I'm just happier that way."

45mins. passed and class was over.

"Ok, remember if you didn't finish the chapter, do it for homework," Mrs. Hertz reminded them on the way out.

"Hey, Odd, I need to tell you something," Ulrich said. "Jeremie, Aelita, you too. Last night I had this weird dream where this girl was calling my name. I recognized the voice, but I still don't who was calling me. It was dark and misty. All I could hear was that girl calling for me. 'Ulrich! Ulrich! I need you!' It was so strange, and when I asked her who she was all she did was say 'Ulrich! Come to me!' I tried to run after her and I never seemed to be getting closer. Then I just woke up sweating. Isn't that strange?"

"Ulrich, that wasn't just a dream. I think that was a vision like the ones Odd use to have in lyoko," said Aelita in a low, quiet voice. "That was someone who really needed and wanted you to come. Tell me if you have that same dream again. Also, try to get closer to her, if you can. I don't think that is a normal dream."

"Aelita's right. That is really strange," Odd said. "I can't tell you how many times I've wanted a girl to say that to me, but it didn't happen. I just wouldn't want it to happen in a crazy dream where I couldn't see the girl and I just saw mist. If every time I ran after her she wouldn't get any closer, I would be so freaked out. That is not normal."

"Odd, I could see the girl's shadow. I just couldn't see her directly," Ulrich replied. "It's not like I was talking to the mist and the mist was talking back."

"Ulrich," said Jeremie. "You said you could see the shadow. What size was the girl? Was she our age?"

"I couldn't tell. She was to far off."

"Then how did you know it was a girl?" Aelita asked again. "How do you know it wasn't a boy?"

"For one thing, a boy wouldn't call to me saying he needed me. And two, It was definitely a girl's voice."

"True. Could you tell how old she was by the maturity of her voice?" Jeremie asked again hoping that he could get an estimate.

"She might have been between 13 and 30. It was hard to hear and she sounded mature, but sometimes teen girls sound that way. She may have been 13 or even 12." Ulrich said trying hard to remember. "Jeremie, I'll try hard to think and see if I can tell. Hopefully I have the same dream again. That way I can try to get closer and see more."

"Ulrich?"
