Author's Note: Hello, I'm Destiny. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I'd like it if you tell me what you think, and in anyways it can be improved. Thank you.

"Yoo-hoo! It's us!" Odd called, sticking his tongue out at the monster, as Ulrich snuck up behind the monster and used impact to destroy it.

"Great job, guys!" Jeremie said through the link. "Ok, Yumi and Aelita, the tower should be in plain sight now, right?"

"I see it!" Aelita called. She ran one way, and Yumi ran for the monsters. Aelita went into the tower, and deactivated it.

"Return to the past, now!" Jeremie called, as it happened.

"Great job today, guys!" Jeremie whispered as he, Ulrich, and Odd stretched, following Jim's example.

"Hey, it's all thanks to team work!" Odd declaredd. Ulrich nodded.

"Yep. We fight the monsters off, Yumi makes sure Aelita's able to get to the tower, Aelita deactives towers, and of course, we wouldn't be able to get into Lyoko if it wasn't for you, Jeremie." Ulrich said, changing his position.

"So, Ulrich, now that you know how Nicholas blocked your shot the first time we did this, do you think you can handle getting the ball past him?" Odd asked. Ulrich nodded.

"You know it."

From her classroom, Yumi watched them. She had thought that going back through the past would have changed the decision her parents had made. Nope. She didn't want to tell the guys, but she knew she had to. She sighed, and started scribbling on her notes. Short speeches to them about why she had to leave, one to Ulrich about what she truely felt about him...but she ended up marking pen lines through all of them.

The time slipped away from her, and before she had brought her mind back to reality, the bell rang. One class gone. About an hour less of time with the guys.

[at lunch]

"Hey, Yumi, I got a question for you!" Odd said, noticing Yumi stirring her macaroni over and over again.

"Huh? What, nothing's wrong!" She said defensively.

"Not that! I just wanted to know if you were going to eat your fries!" Odd said, reaching for them.

"Huh? No, go ahead, help yourself. I'm not hungry." She said, pushing the fries towards him.

"Yumi, are you all right?" Ulrich asked.

"If one of us left...do you think Aelita would still be all right?" She asked, looking out the window, keeping herself from looking at any of their faces.

"I don't know. But luckily none of us are going anywhere!" Odd said through a mouthful of fries.

"Yumi..you're not leaving, are you?" Jeremie asked. Yumi glanced at him, and nodded.

"What? You can't leave!" Ulrich said, jumping up and pounding his fists on the table in the process.

"Tell that to my parents. They think this atmosphere is not good for them, or me. I'll be leaving in three weeks. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Yumi said softly. "Listen, I'm going to go talk to the principal for a moment. He's supposed to give me some recommendations." Yumi grabbed her bag and walked off.

"She's...leaving us." Ulrich said, still shocked as he fell back into his chair. But in his mind, he had really thought 'she's leaving me'. He couldn't believe it. He had never truely gotten a chance to tell her how he felt. True, there was the situation where Sissy had slipped him that fake note, but that didn't count. He knew what he had to do, and he had to do it fast.
