{12:30 A.M.}

A sigh emitted from a young boys lips as he stared into the darkness. He had been laying there for almost two and a half hours, and his friends fell asleep on the floor. There was no use in trying to get them to walk down to their own bedrooms, so he let them sleep and he would send them back early so Jim wouldn't catch them in the hall.

Jeremy, the blonde-headed genius, lay there on his bed in deep thought. There had been some strange things happening in Lyoko, and he couldn't quite place his finger on it. Aelita had talked to him the day before, and telling him about the pulses coming from a tower. But no matter how hard he tried he couldn't locate it. And just a few hours ago when he went to his computer to search again, he called her up, and to his dismay she didn't show up. A noise was heard from the floor that disturbed his thoughts.

"You still awake Jeremy?" A deeper voice asked. Jeremy looked over his bed and smiled slightly.

"Yeah I am actually." Jeremy responded.

"Oh...why?" he could hear more rustling as if the person sat up.

"I really don't know. After Aelita didn't show up earlier, I've been really worried." Jeremy's voice was fearful.

"Look, why don't we just go to Lyoko?" The person suggested.

"Ulrich! Are you nuts!?" Jeremy half screamed. Someone else stirred from the floor and yawned.

"What the hell are you two arguing about!?" Another voice joined the conversation.

"Go back to sleep Odd." Jeremy demanded. And just as he said that, he heard a thunk and some snoring noises. Ulrich rolled his eyes.

"He is way too literal." Ulrich looked down at the strange boy who was now curled up on the ground snoring away, not having a care in the world. Jeremy sighed and fell back on his pillow.
"You need to get some sleep." Ulrich suggested while still half sitting up looking over to the bed. Jeremy turned over and stared at him.

"How can I sleep when I don't know where or how Aelita is!?" Jeremy asked. Ulrich blinked twice and finally found his words.

"I also noticed Yumi was acting strange lately. I tried to talk to her and she just kept walking and disappeared around a corner. Haven't seen her since." He pointed out. Jeremy was suddenly interested and sat up again.

"Did Sissy say anything to her?" He asked. Ulrich shook his head slightly.

"No. Actually I haven't seen her around either." He stared at the wall for a few seconds until Jeremy spoke up.

"Oh...well, I guess tomorrow we'll have to find out. We can ask around and see what's going on with Yumi and where Sissy has been." Jeremy was trying to comfort Ulrich slightly, knowing that he somewhat had a thing for Yumi. Although he wouldn't admit it, Jeremy could just tell by the way he acts.

"Okay, that works. I guess we better get some sleep." Ulrich said as he turned over on the hard wood floor, facing the same direction as Odd. Jeremy shook his head and laid his head gently on the pillow. For some reason, a little flicker of hope surged through his body. Maybe he could find out what's been going on, and help Yumi. He pulled the blankets up to his chin and looked back up at the ceiling.

"Please...let Yumi and Aelita be okay." He whispered to himself as he turned over, pulled the blankets over his head, and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

While the three were sleeping soundly, Yumi was not. She sat on the edge of her bed staring at her floor, her eyes blank and grey. Her hands were cupped on the sides of her face, and her feet were spread apart slightly. The wind that blew through her window ruffled her hair slightly, giving it a dim shine from the moon that was looming low over the school grounds. She had been sitting there for almost an hour, and the rest of the time before she was wandering around her room and trying to avoid her friends as best as possible. She didn't want to tell them what she was feeling.

Her eyes started to quiver as the pain started to shoot through her body and pulse through her head, making her head throb. She winced and closed her eyes, just hoping it would go away. It would happen every ten to twenty seconds, and each time it was slightly stronger than the last. Then it would go away, and it would start all over. She had missed two classes yesterday because of it, but she just told the others she wasn't feeling good. Luckily, they believed her.

"If I could just keep it up for a little while longer until I can find out what's wrong with me." She murmured to herself as she shifted her feet and stood up from her bed. She headed to her closet and changed into some more comfortable sleeping clothes, trying to be careful when the painful surge came through her body. She didn't want to fall over and hit something and cause attention from the people around her. There would be nothing worse than that. As she finished and lay down on her bed, Ulrich suddenly popped into her head. She clearly remembered the look that he gave her when she walked away from him.

"I hope he's not mad at me..." She thought out loud to herself as she pulled the covers over her face. After a few minutes she finally drifted to sleep.

In Lyoko, Aelita was having her own problems. She couldn't get a hold of Jeremy because Xana was taking all of the power in Lyoko, and she had none left to use. She knew he was planning something, but what? It had to be big, because the energy surges were beginning to fade from the area which was once so full of pulses that there were earthquakes. It was diminishing, and she couldn't figure out why. She missed Jeremy, but she couldn't get to him no matter how hard she tried. She couldn't even find the tower that they were looking for the previous day. It was no where to be found, as if it was invisible or had a cloak over it.

She finally sat down under a rocky arch and breathed slowly, trying to relax. She didn't know what to do, and without Jeremy, she was completely lost. He was always there to give directions, and now...she was on her own to fend for herself. She had to battle a few monsters alone, and she almost didn't make it through. She still felt weak, even though she tried to regain her energy.

"I'll find a way to reach you Jeremy, even if it means that I go into the real world." And with that, she ran off down the desert area of Lyoko, determined to find a way to get to him. {8:45 A.M.}

As Ulrich fluttered his eyes open, he could hear a commotion outside of Jeremy's door. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, trying to adjust to the light that was coming through the open window.

"Hey Jeremy...Odd get up." He said quietly as he shook Odd's shoulder, making him jump up in the air.

"What where when how!?" Odd was standing on his tiptoes, shaking violently. Ulrich laughed.

"I was just trying to get you up." He said quietly. He stood up off of the floor and looked into Jeremy's bed. He was...

"Gone! Where is he!?" Odd was once again freaking out. Ulrich could tell he was going to have another one of those days where everything will bother him. And if he didn't get an answer he will keep asking the question.

"I don't know. But there's people outside. Let's go check it out." Ulrich opened the door to see a crowd of people all jammed into the hall, Jim standing in the middle with a megaphone.

"Okay people! Sissy has gone missing, and so has Yumi! We need to search the entire school grounds!" The megaphone was very loud and clear, and Ulrich rubbed his ears.

"Do you think he coulda been louder?" He asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, he could have actually.." Odd remarked. Ulrich sighed and walked down the hall. He had to find Yumi, no matter how long it took. And Jeremy as well. Sissy someone else can find, but the other two were his closest friends and he had to find them. Without Jeremy they couldn't get into Lyoko, and without Yumi...well, let's just say Ulrich would never be the same.

"We need to get down to the bottom of this, and fast." Ulrich said as he ran down the hall, Odd right at his heels. If he could somehow get to the computer, he could maybe reach Aelita and find out what was going on. His friends' lives were at stake, and so was the world.
Well, how was that for my first chappie!? Huh huh huh? I hope it was okay, it was kinda long but the first chapter is like the intro to everything that's happening, so it should be. ; Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and there should be at least a chapter up each day. I will leave cliffies, so beware! I leave some bad ones too...hehehe. Okay review and tell me what you think! And this is NOT Jeremy and Yumi. It just sounds like it right now, but trust me, it's not.
