Love Story
Disclaimer: No own Code Lyoko or Love Story or I`d be loaded.
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony of summer air
Princess Yumi Ishiyama looked over the kingdom from her balcony, letting the warm summer breeze wash over her. Now that she was 16, she was to find a husband. But her suitor, Prince Ulrich Stern, just didn`t suit her. She wanted someone fun and silly, someone she could have fun with...
See the lights,
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That night, she stood awkwardly at her ball, in a long deep violet gown and black masquerade mask, surveying the crowd nervously. Then, someone caught her eye. A blonde boy, her age, nudging his way through the crowd. He wore a white tuxedo with a violet tie, and had an odd purple mark in his hair. But his eyes...Yumi was captivated by his crystaline blue eyes. They seemed to look beyond her, into her mind and soul.
"Hello." He muttered softly, taking her white-gloved hand and brushing his lips against it. That you were romeo you were throwing pebbles Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
And my daddy said stay away from juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby just say yes
Odd Della-Robbia hadn`t been a man of nobility, but he`d heard tales of a beautiful princess who was now looking for a husband, and had to see her for himself. Her short but silky raven hair, her fair ivory face, her deep chocolate eyes...she was truly a voluptuous vixen. She blushed faintly, speechless.
"Please princess...I must know what to call such a gorgeous woman." He purred.
"Y-Yumi." She muttered, her voice like a Siren song. He was about to speak again, but she was yanked away from him by an angry king.
"Filthy commoner! You may not touch my daughter!" He shouted. Odd blinked, a bit afraid. He turned and fled, the princess following. She tripped, collapsing on the grand staircase, and started pleading him to stay. He kissed her hand.
"I`ll meet you in the gardens, in three days` time, my darling." He whispered. She blinked her tears away, and he was gone. So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quite cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this down for a little while
When the time came for their meeting, she eagerly ran to the rose garden, dressed in a blood-red gown and black shawl. Sure enough, there he stood in tan pants and a violet shirt, smiling warmly.
"There you are, your highness." He chuckled.
"Please don`t call me that..." Yumi blushed slightly. "I don`t even think of myself as a princess."
"My apologies." He kissed her hand. "We mustn`t make much noise; your father`d have my head."
"I know...he only wants me to marry a prince."
"Now now..." He gently shut her eyes. "None of that matters right now. Just forget this all even exists..."
Cause you were romeo I was a scarlet letter Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
And my daddy said stay away from juliet
But you were everything to me
And I was begging you please don't go and I said
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
As if on cue, the royal guards ran out to chase Odd away. Yumi felt horrible. As if anyone she were with was weeded out by her father. She could hear them shouting warnings as she followed her love again to stay away from her. A thorn caught her gown, tripping her. He helped her up hurriedly, kissing her cheek before he had to dash off. Romeo save me, then try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Don't be afraid
We'll Make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes, oh,
Yumi`s life was miserable. She had people trying to tell her not to love a commoner, that she`d betray her bloodline with him, but she knew the truth. This was true love; Odd had stolen her heart. She knew they`d be together soon... I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you would ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts to town I said
But just how soon was soon? Weeks passed and she hadn`t heard from him. She was wondering if he even remembered her or if she needed to just move on. Every passing day, questions mounted in her mind, almost as if one more thought would topple the stack and crush her. About another month passed before she received a message from him to meet him on the city limits. Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
"Odd, where have you been? I`ve been so alone, and eeryone was telling me to forget you..." She shook her head, trying to organize her thoughts.
"I know, but I was quite busy." He smiled, taking out a box and getting on one knee. She gasped. And said Marry me juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talk to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
He opened the box, revealing a beatuiful ring, complete with onxy hearts and a black diamond.
"Yumi, will you marry me? You`d never have to be alone again, and I know I`m not a rich noble but I love you with all my heart."
She was stunned silent. He was proposing? Now? "But...my father..."
"Has agreed to the marriage."
"Then I guess I need to go buy a dress." She smiled, slipping the ring on her finger. Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Cause we were both young when I first saw you
