Hey guys it's Double Nickel again. Sorry that I haven't been on or very productive lately but my excuse is… I was playing the Code Lyoko game for the DS. I liked the game a lot but the 2D world takes some getting use to because of the map. Anywho I liked the monsters they added like the green exploding kankerlats and scorpion. The game made me decide that I wanted to write a sequel along with some of the reviews I got from codelyokoluvagrl. Well I do believe that that should be enough blabbering from me for one chapter. BTW the setting is 6months after the first story. Without any more aimless chatter the sequel to Greater then Friends but Less than a Couple: Indecision.

Ulrich sat at a table idly sipping away on some soda while gazing upon the face of his new girlfriend. She was everything he had ever wanted. She was smart, attractive, funny, athletic… she was all these things but she wasn't Yumi.

"Hey, Ulrich are you alright?" Christine asked. She cocked one of her eyebrows and smiled sincerely at her boyfriend.

"Uh, yeah… fine sorry," Ulrich replied as he noticed that his drink was now empty and he got up to throw it away.

"That's okay. Come on now that were finished eating let's get some more shopping done!" She said in an excited voice. They left the food court after cleaning up and headed over to a shoe store.

"Hey Ulrich what do you think? Should I get the green soccer cleats or the pink ones?" Christine asked as she held up one of each type of shoe for Ulrich to see.

"Er- the green one I guess," Ulrich replied while thumbing through a soccer magazine featuring shirts of Ulrich's favorite soccer team.

"I agree green suits me better than pink," Christine said more to herself as she boxed up the pink ones and put the green pair on her feet to get a feel for the new cleats.

Ulrich thought back to how he had met this girl. Christine arrived at Kadic a day after the Xanafied version of the marabounta almost devoured Lyoko. He was dating Yumi back then until they had that fight…

­­--Three Months Ago--

Ulrich leaned against his favorite tree in the park thinking about what had just happened. 'She dumped me… What did I do wrong? I knew it was a mistake to let Yumi in.'

Ulrich was so busy festering that he never saw Christine come jogging up the forest path. She spotted him and said, "Hello Ulrich!"

"… Oh, hi Christine," Ulrich spoke low and tried his best to wipe his face of the hot tears that had been falling for most of the morning.

"Oh please call me Chris, everyone else does," She laughed.

'Her laugh is so beautiful kind of like Yumi's. Yumi, Ulrich thought. "What are you jogging for?" Ulrich asked just to make conversation and to divert his focus from Yumi.

"I'm getting in shape for soccer season it starts in a few months and I haven't even ran since the fall," she gave a small laugh and smiled at him.

'Christine's smile is so… infectious like Yumi's use to be.'

"You play soccer? Really so do I! Are you going to play for Kadic?" Ulrich asked interested in something simple like soccer, something that he can understand, something less complicated.

"Yeah, I'm trying out for midfielder," Christine said jogging in place.

"Mind if I run with you? I think the run could be just what I need right now," Ulrich asked pulling his bodyweight off from the tree and standing up.

"Sure!"

--Present--

"Yo, Ulrich you ready to head back to school?" Christine asked after paying for her new cleats.

"Yeah, hey Chris do you want to play a game of soc-" Ulrich stopped dead midsentence because coming straight towards him was Yumi and Aelita emerging from another store.

­­Thanks for reading. Please read and review. Dum Dum Da I wonder what is going to happen… lol

I've got the next two chapters written down rough 'draftishly' (who likes my new word?) So I'll be able to update soon. Thanks again for all of your reviews.
