I missed writing "Odd's Secret" so much that I decided to write a sequel! However, there will be many changes in this story from the last. I mean, all of that stuff did happen when the younger Lyoko warriors were in eighth grade, and middle school relationships don't last forever. But some couples might just last. Anyway, this story isn't really going to follow what happened in season three or the end of season two. The gang still believes that Aelita has been infected with a virus and Xana has not escaped into the internet. The first few chapters of this will be catching you up to what happens in the next few years between the previous story and and their senior year, which is when the actual story will take place. Each part of these first few chapters will focus on a different couple from the last story. I originally intended for each couple to have one chapter, but Yumi and Ulrich's turned out to be so long that I had to split it in two. So here's part one of their story.

A few days before the year anniversary of Odd's surgery, Yumi and Ulrich had their year anniversary of the day they'd made their relationship official, and with the help of his friends, Ulrich planned a romantic outing. Aelita and Sissi cooked dinner for the couple and put it in a basket for a candlelight dinner at the Factory, because Ulrich wanted their dinner to be at the place that had first brought them together. Ulrich had flowers sent to Yumi's house and he took her out for the afternoon to see a movie. After it ended, he led her to the Factory, saying that Jeremie had just called about a new development in Lyoko, and they found the picnic that Jeremie and Odd had set up while they'd been gone.

Yumi's eyes widened as she saw the dinner, and she smiled at Ulrich excitedly. "Ulrich, did you plan this?" she asked.

Ulrich smirked as he led her to sit on the blanket. "I guess you like it?"

"I didn't realize that you knew how to be so romantic," Yumi teased.

Ulrich narrowed his eyes playfully. "Gee thanks for that vote of confidence," he joked while he opened the picnic basket and pulled out their dinner. "The others did help me out though."

"Well, we'll have to thank them later," Yumi said as she leaned in and kissed Ulrich. She pulled away and rubbed her nose against his in an Eskimo kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too," Ulrich replied softly. "Yumi… this has been the most amazing year of my life... And I just really want to show you just how great you've been to me." He pulled a small box out of his pocket and handed it to her. "I know that we said no presents, but I wanted you to have this."

Yumi opened to box to see a white gold ring with the words I'll love you forever engraved into it.

"It's a promise ring," Ulrich said as he took it from the box and put it onto her finger.

"Ulrich it's beautiful," she said as she looked back up at him in awe. "I can't believe that you did all of this for me."

Ulrich smiled. "You deserve the world Yumi," he told her. "And I promise that one day I'm going to give it to you… or at least as much of it as I can."

Yumi kissed him passionately before turning her attention back to the food. She put it back into the basket and set it away from the blanket. Ulrich looked at her curiously. "What are you doing?" he asked.

She smiled at him. "There's something I want to give you Ulrich," she said.

Ulrich watched her in confusion for a moment before catching on to her meaning. "Do you mean…?" he asked, gulping nervously. "Yumi, are you sure?"

Yumi nodded as she scooted closer to him and began to slip his top shirt off of him.

Ulrich grabbed her hands to stop her and looked at her seriously. "Here?" he questioned. "Right now?"

"Yes, I'm completely serious, Ulrich," Yumi insisted. She blushed with embarrassment and pulled back a little bit. "Don't you want me?"

"Of course I do," Ulrich said. "But not if you aren't ready. I don't want you to do this if you don't want to."

Yumi smiled. "I am ready. And I want to. You're the one for me Ulrich. Why should we waste another second?"

Ulrich looked at her indecisively for a moment before nodding. "Ok."

"So tell me again how long it took?" Odd asked with amusement. "2 minutes, right?"

"Mmmf mmm efmmm…" Ulrich mumbled from his bed, where he was holding his pillow over his head.

"You're not trying to suffocate yourself, are you?" Odd joked. "I mean… I totally understand why you would."

"SHUT UP!" Ulrich shouted as he through the pillow at Odd's head.

"Come on Ulrich," Odd said. "It's not that bad."

Ulrich sat up and gave Odd a look that clearly read, 'Are you kidding me?' "Not that bad?" he asked. "Not that bad?! It's bad Odd. It's really fucking bad! Don't you realize what this means?"

Odd faked a thoughtful look. "That Yumi may never know what an orgasm feels like?" he laughed.

"It means that Yumi and me are over!" Ulrich said. "She probably won't want to be with me anymore."

Odd sighed and decided to be serious. "You know Yumi's not that shallow Ulrich," he said. "She's not going to care about how bad the sex was. Besides, everyone's first time is bad."

"Not as bad as ours!" Ulrich exclaimed as he flopped back down and covered his face with his other pillow. "Mmmf mmm efmmm mhmmfmm!"

"Come again?" Odd asked.

Ulrich pulled the pillow off of his face and stared up at the ceiling. "My life is over," he muttered melodramatically.

Odd shook his head and sat down beside his roommate. "Ulrich just calm down. Things will work out just fine."

Ulrich sighed. "You and Sissi haven't had sex yet, right?" he asked curiously.

Odd crossed his arms and frowned. "Are you kidding me?" he huffed. "The school won't let me play sports until the doctors say my heart's ok. Jeremie won't let me go to Lyoko until the doctors say my heart's ok. And Sissi… well she won't have sex with me until the doctors say my heart's ok."

"It's for your own good," Ulrich told him.

------Meanwhile---------

"Yumi, did you at least use condoms?" Aelita asked worriedly.

Yumi shook her head. "But I've been on birth control for months. I've been waiting a while for him to be ready."

"Well, at least that's good," Aelita said. "So he didn't talk to you at all while he walked you back home?"

Yumi sighed. "Nope," she said.

"And then he kissed you on the nose and left?" Aelita continued.

"Yup," Yumi said as she leaned against the wall in Aelita's room.

"It could have been worse," Aelita told her reassuringly.

"Do you think that maybe I was too eager?" Yumi asked. "Do you think he found it unattractive?"

"Trust me Yumi," Aelita said. "No guy would find it unattractive."

"Then what was the problem?" Yumi wondered.

Aelita sat down on her bed. "I know this is sort of a personal question," she said. "But… how was it?"

Yumi bit her lip. "Um… I don't know… I mean, I've never done it before, so there's really nothing to compare it to. It was just sex. It wasn't very long though."

"Well, maybe Ulrich thought he was bad at it," Aelita guessed. "Maybe he's embarrassed."

"It was the first time for both of us," Yumi said. "He shouldn't be embarrassed."

"We've all known each other for about four years now Yumi," Aelita said. "And in those four years I've learned that Ulrich gets embarrassed much more easily than other people. He's definitely got some self-esteem issues, and he doesn't do well with damaged pride."

"You might be right Aelita," Yumi agreed. She smiled slightly at how insecure Ulrich was. Sometimes it bugged the hell out of her, but other times she found it cute. At the very least, it let her know that he really cared about her opinion. "I'm going to go talk to him about it."

"Good luck," Aelita said.

Yumi headed upstairs to Ulrich's room and was about to enter, when she heard voices.

"My life is over," she heard Ulrich's voice mutter, causing her to smirk and shake her head as she realized that he really was embarrassed.

This was followed by Odd's voice. "Ulrich just calm down. Things will work out just fine."

"You and Sissi haven't had sex yet, right?" Ulrich asked.

There was a pause before Odd responded. "Are you kidding me? The school won't let me play sports until the doctors say my heart's ok. Jeremie won't let me go to Lyoko until the doctors say my heart's ok. And Sissi… well she won't have sex with me until the doctors say my heart's ok."

"It's for your own good," Ulrich told him.

Yumi quietly opened the door and stayed in the doorway.

"Well, I can't wait until everyone stops worrying about what's for my own good," Odd said to Ulrich.

"We're always going to worry about that," Yumi said. The boys looked over to see her standing in the doorway. "We can't help looking out for you. You're our little guy Odd. The group's got to look out for the little guy."

Odd stood up and walked over to her. "I'll have you know that I'm the tallest of you all!" he said indignantly. It was true. In the past year, he and Ulrich had both grown taller than her, and Odd was actually an inch taller than Ulrich. Even his once high-pitched voice had matured. "Jeremie's the little guy now!"

Yumi smiled at him patronizingly. "You'll always be our little guy, Odd," she teased. "As long as you keep acting like the little guy, that is."

"Are you calling me immature Ishiyama?"

Ulrich cleared his throat from where he was laying on his bed. Odd looked over at him. "Oh, right," he said. He turned back to Yumi. "We'll have to continue this conversation later. Bye Yumi."

"Bye," Yumi said as he left. She continued to stand in the doorway, watching Ulrich with a small smile on her face for a couple of minutes.

"Hi Yumi," Ulrich said nervously.

"Hey," Yumi said, finally shutting the door. She walked over to him and lay down next to him with her head on his shoulder as she looked up at the ceiling with that same smile on her face.

Ulrich watched her curiously, waiting for her to have something to say about the night before. He gave up after a few minutes and looked up at the ceiling as well.

Yumi turned her head toward him. "So do you want to talk about it?" she asked.

Ulrich blushed a bit. "Um… about what?" he asked dumbly.

"Last night," Yumi replied.

Ulrich sighed, wrapping an arm around her waist as he rolled onto his side to face her. "What about it?" he asked nervously.

"Why did you act so weird after is happened?" Yumi asked.

Ulrich gulped. "I… I don't know…"

"Were you nervous?" she asked.

"Well, yea," Ulrich said quietly.

Yumi smiled. "You didn't need to be," she said. "Last night was great."

Ulrich looked confused. "It was?" he asked. "But I was horrible."

Yumi nodded. "The first time isn't supposed to be perfect Ulrich," she told him. "We'll both get better at it. You know what they say. 'Practice makes perfect.'"

"So you aren't going to break up with me or something?" Ulrich asked, cheering up a bit.

Yumi laughed. "Of course not," she said. She kissed his cheek. "I love you."

Ulrich smiled. "I love you too." He kissed her gently and leaned his head against hers, staring up at the ceiling.

They both lay there contently for a while before Yumi spoke up again. "Ulrich?"

"Hm?" he responded.

"How do you feel about a little bit of practicing?" she asked slyly.

Ulrich rolled over so that he was holding himself above her. "I thought you'd never ask," he said before kissing her neck.

Over the next eight months, Odd found himself being kicked out of his room quite frequently so that Ulrich and Yumi could 'talk' in private. He knew, however, what was really going on in there, and he constantly complained about it to Sissi as he took refuge in her room. By late October, he was becoming absolutely fed up with it. "They had better not get pregnant," he said one Saturday as he flopped down on Sissi's bed. "As often as they are at it, I'm going to be Uncle Odd before I'm ready to be an uncle."

Sissi shook her head. She sat down and let him rest his head on her lap as she played with his hair. "It's not a big deal Odd," she assured him.

"But just think about what Kiwi is being exposed to in there!" Odd joked as he watched himself wiggle his toes for amusement. "That poor dog probably wishes he was blind."

"He'll get over it, I'm sure," Sissi said. "It's not like Yumi and Ulrich are the only people having sex… or the only people who want to."

Odd looked up at her. "What?"

Sissi sighed. "I've had to hear you talk about it a lot lately," she said. "And that's been making me think a lot more about it. And I think we're ready."

Odd just stared at her blankly for a moment before sitting. "Sissi," he said. "I know I made a big deal about it before, but you don't need to feel like you have to."

"I want to though," Sissi replied.

Odd sighed. "Well, I don't," he said. "Not just yet. It's not the right time."

"We've been together for a year and almost eight months," Sissi said. "And we love each other. Why isn't it the right time?"

"It's just not," Odd said.

Sissi got up and sat at her computer desk. She started to play around with her programs before sighing and reluctantly saying, "Ok."

"Are you mad at me?" Odd asked.

Sissi shook her head, but she said nothing else as she continued to play around with her computer, paying no attention to him.

"I thought you wanted to have sex with her?" Ulrich asked Odd in confusion as he kicked a soccer ball to him. "You were angry that she wouldn't."

Odd shrugged. He stopped the ball and kicked it back. "I changed my mind," he said. "I'm just not ready yet. Besides, you have enough sex for the both of us."

Ulrich put his foot on top of the ball to stop it and rolled his eyes. "She's mad at you now?"

"I think so," Odd said. "What should I do about it?"

"How should I know?" Ulrich asked.

"You're the sex expert," Odd complained. "Give me some advice."

"Have sex with her," Ulrich suggested as a joke before kicking the ball to Odd again. "Really, really good sex."

Odd let the ball roll past him. "Ha ha," he said sarcastically. "Thanks for the help buddy."

"Anytime," Ulrich said. "Go grab the ball. It's starting too get dark out and we should go inside."

Odd did as he was told and they began to walk back to the school. "Speaking of really good sex… How did today go?"

"We actually didn't do anything," Ulrich confessed.

"I got kicked out today and you didn't even have sex?" Odd asked in exasperation.

"She wasn't really feeling so great," Ulrich told him.

"She still sick?" Odd asked.

"Yea," Ulrich said. "At least she wasn't throwing up today though."

"Well, don't get sick from her," Odd said. "I am not cleaning up your puke if you do."

"Gee thanks," Ulrich said. "You're a real pal. If I remember correctly, who was it who took care of you when you were sick?"

"Hey, no fair," Odd said. "I don't think you were ever on puke duty, Ulrich, so it's completely different."

"Whatever you say Odd," Ulrich replied.

"I'm so hungry," Odd said as he put a hand to his stomach. "I could go for a big steak right now. Actually, I think I could eat the whole cow."

Ulrich shook his head. "You know, I really thought that after your growth spurt your appetite would have calmed down, but it's only worse."

Odd grinned sheepishly. "I can't help it. I just love my food."

"Well, it's a little late for food now," Ulrich said as they got to their bedroom. "Cafeteria is closed."

Odd opened the door. "I'll just have to save up my appetite for the morning then."

"There won't be any breakfast for anyone else," Ulrich joked as the two entered the room. "Did we leave the light on?"

"No," Odd said as he looked over at Ulrich's bed.

Ulrich looked over to see Aelita and Yumi sitting on the bed, the latter in tears. "Yumi what's wrong?" he asked as he sat down beside her.

Yumi just looked at the floor and didn't answer. Aelita looked up at Odd. "Odd, we need to give them some time alone," she said as she stood up.

Odd nodded and followed her out of the room. Once the door was shut, Ulrich made Yumi look at him. "What's wrong?" he asked again. "Are you ok? Have your parents started fighting again?"

Yumi shook her head. "Ulrich, I…" She looked down. "This sick feeling has been starting to worry me. And I talked to Aelita about it…"

"Are you ok, Yumi?" Ulrich asked worriedly.

Yumi looked back up at him. "She suggested that I should take a test, you know? And we went to my house and took care of it. I took four and they all said the same thing… Ulrich I'm pregnant." She whispered that last part.

Ulrich just stared at her in shock. "You… you're…? Oh my god, Yumi… This is… for real?"

Yumi nodded. "What are we going to do Ulrich?" she asked.

"I… I don't know," Ulrich answered truthfully. He grabbed her hand, though, trying to comfort her. "We'll get through this together Yumi. I promise."

"I'm scared Ulrich," Yumi said. "We're way too young for this. My parents won't understand. They'll want me to get rid of it."

"Do you want to?" Ulrich asked nervously.

Yumi shook her head in confusion. "I don't know what I want to do," she said. "I haven't had time to really even think about the options."

"You wouldn't have an abortion, would you?" Ulrich asked.

"No," she said. "I don't think I could do that. Do you agree with abortion?"

"Not exactly," Ulrich told her. "But I want you to do whatever is best for you, Yumi."

"How am I going to tell my family?" she asked him. "How do I tell them that they might be grandparents?"

"With me right by your side Yumi," Ulrich said reassuringly. "Don't worry. No matter what, I'll be there for you… and the baby."

"Do you… think we should keep it?" Yumi asked.

"I honestly don't know, Yumi," Ulrich said unsurely. "It's a really big decision to make right away. I think we need to take some time to consider everything."

"I just... I can't believe that this happened," Yumi said.

Ulrich put his arm around Yumi's waist and pulled her closer to him. "It's going to be ok," he told her. "As long as we're going through it together, things will be fine."

Please review! Next chapter will be part 2 of their story. Then I will move on to Odd and Sissi.
