Odd and Yumi ran down the hallway, hoping they wouldn't be late for their class. However, when they entered the classroom, everyone was laying unconscious on the floor. "Are they alive?" Odd asked, shaking the teacher. "Yeah, but barely." Yumi said, calmly walking over to Sissy's unconscious body. "Hey guys, what's up?" Ulrich asked, a smirk on his face. Yumi walked over to him and slapped him in the face. "What in the hell is wrong with you, these people are barely alive!?" she yelled. Suddenly, Ulrich's expression turned blank, and his body faded away, as did Odd's, leaving Yumi alone in the darkness. "Ulrich, Odd, anyone?" she asked, getting only a sinister laugh in reply. Panicking, she did the only thing she could think of.

"HELP ME!" Yumi screamed, suddenly sitting up in her bed, sweat dripping from her forehead. This had been the third night she had experienced the same dream, her friends vanishing, and that sinister, evil white light. 'It makes no sense.' she thought to herself. 'Light is supposed to be a symbol of good, not evil.' Yumi rolled over, held her pillow, and sighed deeply. "Ulrich." she whispered, before falling back into sleep.

When Yumi awoke, she saw how the clock flashed 10:30 in the morning. "Oh my god, I'm gonna be late." she shouted, quickly rushing to get dressed. She threw on all of her clothes in a hurry, quickly tying her boots and grabbing her backpack at 10:35. She still had a pop-tart in her mouth when she ran out the door. Yumi took a quick glance at her watch. 'Huh, is this thing broken?' she thought. The watch read 5/15/04. Yumi suddenly stopped and shook her head. "Oh jeeze, it's Saturday." she said, groaning and smacking herself on the forehead. "Yeah, and you looked kind of funny trying to balance your books and your breakfast at the same time." Odd said, leaning against a tree. Yumi spun around and barely missed his head with her foot. "Could you warn me next time?, I almost took your head off!" she said, pulling her foot back and putting her bookbag on the ground. Odd gulped nervously. "So, where's Ulrich?" she asked. "I thought he'd be hanging around you." he said. Yumi shook her head. "Nope, I haven't seen him all day." she said.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps behind them. Yumi turned around, thinking it was Ulrich, but she wound up hugging Edge. "Hey babe, is this how you always greet your friends?" he asked with a smirk. Yumi shoved the black-haired older teen away from her. "You're such a sicko." she said, glaring at him. "Oh please, you know you want me." Edge said, a cocky smirk on his face. Edge was clothed all in black: black leather pants, black t-shirt, even black tape on his hands. His long, black trench coat seemed to wrap around him, almost like something out of "The Matrix". "So, any Xana activity so far?" he asked, flipping his black and yellow ponytail behind him. "Nope, nothing yet." Jeremy said, suddenly walking up behind them, with Anna and Michael beside him. Anna was around the same age as Edge and Michael, (16, 17) but she seemed to be the wild girl of the group. It had only been three months since the four Lyoko fighters had met the other Lyoko fighters, but they all seemed to get along well, except when Anna got too close to Ulrich. "So, where's my Ulrich?" Anna asked, a fake-sad look on her face. Yumi looked her over, noticing how her jean- shorts were barely legal for the school limits, as usual, or her tight black t-shirt, which she wore just to insult Yumi, or her black boots, for the rip-off look, and rolled her eyes. "He's not here, yet." she said firmly. Michael walked over to Anna and smacked her on the back of the head. "Hey, what did you do that for?!" she shouted. "Because, I realize you're just trying to get under Yumi's skin, and you're annoying the living hell out of me." he said bluntly, crossing his arms and looking away from her. Michael was the coolest of the group when it came to pressure. Even though he had an eye for Anna, he'd never tell it to anyone but himself. He wore a dark blue t-shirt over his white one, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a pair of red sneakers. Anna looked up at him, pouting. "Oh Michael, pweese wook at me." she said, begging. Michael grinned, knowing he had her right where he wanted her. At that point, Ulrich walked up behind them all, rolled his eyes at Michael and Anna, and walked right past them. "Hey guys." he said. The others gave a quick "hi", while Edge tried to stop Yumi and Anna from starting World War 3. After a few long conversations, everyone separated, except Ulrich and Yumi, who walked each other home. "That was interesting." Yumi said. Ulrich had a nervous look on his face. "I don't know, I mean, it's 9:30, but I've still got this feeling that Xana could attack today." he said. "I know, it feels like something is missing." Yumi said, sighing. Just a few inches before she walked into the house, Yumi turned around and saw Ulrich still holding her hand. "I think I know what's missing." he said. "What's that?" she asked nervously. Ulrich simply leaned close to Yumi, and kissed her gently on the lips. "That." he said, before he started to walk away, and then Yumi pulled him back to her and returned to the kiss, just as passionate as he had kissed her, if not more so. After a few minutes, they broke apart, gasping for air. "Good grief, that was intense." Ulrich said, grinning. Yumi smiled at him. "Ulrich, I love you." she said seriously. Ulrich looked up at her, took her hands, then kissed her one more time. "I love you too, Yumi." he said calmly. The two teens kissed each other one more time, said their "Good nights", and walked away, Yumi into her house, and Ulrich to his, with a bit of a spring in his step. Before he went into his house, however, he decided he had just one more thing to do. So, he took a deep breath, then yelled out a big "YES, I LOVE YUMI!!" loud enough for the neighbors next door to complain.

So, how was it?

It's a little choppy, and confusing, but it'll get better, I promise.
