A/n Hello again! Yay for chapter one not being a total failure. Thanks bunches and bunches to Kat who helped so much. (uhm I know I took to long to update but I was laughing so hard I couldn't write.)
Warning: Yeah... This is a bit un-Rena-like. If you don't like the content I'll keep it cleaner for the rest of the story. Worse senario; I'll rewrite this chapter. Let me know if you're ok with it.
"What time is she getting here?" Odd whined for the millionth-and-one time.
"Her train got in at two," Ulrich said dryly. Jeremy sat with his laptop on the bench with Aelita beside him, nose buried in a book.
"Where's Yumi?" Aelita asked finally closing her book.
"I couldn't get a hold of her last night," Ulrich answered.
"What he means is, Yumi refused to answer her phone," Odd laughed. Aelita took out her cell phone as Ulrich glared at Odd.
"Hello? Hey Yumi. What are you doing? Good, come hang out at the school with me. I'm bored. Kay, see you soon." She snapped her pink phone shut and smiled.
"That was easy."
"Thanks Lita," Ulrich sighed.
"So I take it you never go to explain Charlie," Jeremy shut his laptop to join the conversation.
"This is going to be an interesting reunion," Odd snickered. Ulrich swung but missed. Yumi just started up the path when she noticed the brunette standing with the group.
"Aelita!" she hissed.
"Stop Yumi, Let me explain," Ulrich said steeping between the two girls. "There was a reason I took off, My-" There was a blur and a squeal.
"ULRICHHH!" The next thing the gang knew Ulrich was on the ground.
"Charlie! Get off me!!" Ulrich yelled. The others, save Odd, blinked in confusion. The girl stood up in one quick motion and looked around.
"Hi everyone." She brushed her hair out of her face. It was brunette with a layer of blond underneath.
"Charlie, how's it been?" Odd asked with a wide grin.
"Odd!" She spun around and greeted him with a bear hug. Yumi cleared her throat.
"Explanation please."
"Yumi, this isn't as strange as it looks," Ulrich said getting up off the ground. "This is Charlie, My sister. Chare, this is Yumi-"
"Oh! Your girlfriend! Nice to meet you, Yumi." Ulrich's face went cherry-red.
"Charlie!"
"Kidding! Hey Yumi, do you know that Ulrich talks about you non-stop when he calls me?"
"Charlie if you do not shut-up I'll send you back," Ulrich threatened.
"No you won't. Now let me guess who you two are." Charlie turned to Jeremy and Aelita. "The pink hair gives it away, You've got to be Princess Aelita that I hear so much about, and you… must be Jeremy." She smiled widely.
"Nice to meet you Charlie," Aelita laughed.
"Oh yeah, Ulrich you get to carry my bags to my room," Charlie pointed to two very heavy looking bags sitting a few feet away.
"Aww, isn't that cute? Here five minutes and already putting her brother to work. Haven't changed a bit, Chare." Ulrich glared over his shoulder as he lifted one of the bags.
"Keep laughing Odd; you get to carry the other one."
"Move aside, weakling," Odd pushed past Ulrich to retrieve the other bag.
"God, Charlie. What did you pack?"
"The normal supply of bricks." Yumi still stood in her state of utter confusion.
"Ulrich? Why didn't you ever tell me you had a sister?"
"You…never asked?" He laughed nervously.
"Ulrich!" Charlie screeched. "They didn't know I was coming?"
"For the record, I didn't know you were coming."
"You two are so different. I'm shocked you're related," Aelita giggled as the boys dragged Charlie's bags towards the dorm.
"The difference is, I wasn't dropped on my head when I was born," Ulrich smirked. Charlie stuck her tongue out.
"I know what you mean Aelita, you'd never guess they were twins," Odd laughed. Aelita, Jeremy, and Yumi blinked.
"Twins?"
"Oh this is going to be a long day," Jeremy sighed.
o0o0o0o summer
"No way!" Odd pumped his fists into the air. "You're dorms only two doors down from ours!" The gang walked into Charlie's room. The walls were a pale blue; the first thing she asked was,
"Do you think they'll let me paint?"
"Typical," Ulrich sighed tossing her bag into the corner.
"So what's with the jail break?" Odd questioned. Aelita raised an eyebrow at the statement.
"Figure of speech," Jeremy explained quietly.
"Rents were driving me up the walls. Ulrich had the right idea living here," Charlie laughed.
"Like when grades come?" Ulrich nudged his sister.
"Unlike you, I'm passing the majority of my classes. All of them, as a matter-of-fact." She stuck her nose in the air and crossed her arms.
"Yeah, yeah. Now let's talk parties. I mean, it is Charlie's first night at Kadic," Odd grinned deviously. Charlie backed away from the blonde.
"Oh, no. No, no. No party."
"Aww, come on Chare."
"No party! Remember what happened last time? No party!"
"What happened last time?" Yumi asked.
"Uh.. They broke all the windows in the house because the music was so loud. And the neighbors called the cops. And Charlie and Odd snuck out the back," Ulrich rolled his eyes.
"Haha, yeah. And the rents made us work the rest of the summer to pay for them. Hey Odd, remember when we got into the ice cube fight at Olive Garden?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah! And you almost set your hair on fire and then we ran out into the main room and I fell over the table and we got fired." Odd sat on the floor clutching his sides.
"Ah, good times. Good times."
"So I take it you were always in trouble?" Jeremy asked.
"Of course," Charlie answered. Everyone was now seated somewhere scattered on the floor.
"So Ulrich, still sucking at soccer?" Charlie asked.
"Maybe; still sucking at life?" Ulrich answered with out a second thought.
"Hah, you bet. Remember Emory?"
"Yeah."
"Well, he sucked in bed so I dumped him." Odd burst out laughing and Ulrich's face grew red in anger.
"What?! Charlie are you insane?! I told you he was just a jerk who-"
"Ahaha, you are such a spaz. I was kidding."
"You better be!"
" No, he tried to take my pants off while we were making-out so-"
"Stop, stop! I don't want to hear anymore. Jeremy what's the fastest way to Germany? I need to have a little talk with Emory."
"Plane," Jeremy answered.
"Where was I when all this happened?" Odd asked wiping his tears as he tried to stop laughing. "I thought I told you not to make out with guy with easy access clothes on."
"Yeah.. Well I forgot," Charlie grinned. "And didn't you also tell me that I should make-out with Emory?" Ulrich glared at Odd.
"He better not have," he muttered. Aelita blinked.
"Uhm.. I think I'm gonna go now. I have.. Things, to do. Nice meeting you Charlie. Bye, everyone. See you all at dinner." She excused herself and the others waved.
"Uhm.. I think I scared your girlfriend away Jeremy," Charlie laughed. Jeremy blushed.
"Well, Uh.. She.. Heh. Don't worry about it."
"Haha. So who wants to help me unpack?"
"Uhm.. Maybe I better go see what Aelita's doing. Bye." Jeremy ran out of the room.
"Oh no, don't look at me. I'm NOT touching your stuff," Ulrich said and Charlie move her gaze to her brother.
"Aw. Come on, Twinny. Please?"
"No. It could be radioactive or something. I remember what your room looked like." Yumi smothered a laugh.
"You think that's funny? You help her unpack." Yumi held her hands up in surrender.
"Don't snap at me. You two are just so polar opposite and so exactly the same," Yumi pointed out.
"Because that makes sense," Ulrich rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, because,"
"You guys argue like a married couple," Charlie teased.
"Charlie, don't you have something to do other than annoy the living crap out of my friends?" Ulrich asked.
"As a matter of fact ,I do." She rolled over and reached into her bag, pulling out a soccer ball.
"I'm gonna go play soccer." She jumped up and headed for the door. Ulrich grinned as she stopped short.
"You don't know where the field is, do you?" He asked.
"Uh.. Outside?"
"Right Chare. Come on, I bet I can still kick your butt." Ulrich took the soccer ball and led Charlie towards the doors. Odd and Yumi exchanged a glance before jumping up to follow them. By the time they got to the bleachers, Ulrich and Charlie were already on the field.
"Charlie plays soccer?" Yumi asked.
"Does Charlie play soccer? That's like asking if the sun is HOT," Odd said, grinning. "In fact, she might be better than Ulrich."
"Wow, I'm gonna have to see this," Yumi laughed. Charlie bounced the ball off her knee a few times before letting it hit the ground. Ulrich smirked and went after it. Charlie kicked it towards the goal, spinning to maneuver around Ulrich's foot.
"And five plus years of dance helped," Odd explained. Charlie picked up speed as she ran towards the goal. Yumi watched as Ulrich pushed harder to catch up with her. To no avail, Charlie scored before he caught up.
"In your face!" She did a cart wheel, followed by a backhand spring as Ulrich took the ball out.
"And two years of gymnastics," Odd laughed nervously. Yumi shook her head in disbelief. "Stop showing off and get in the game!" Odd yelled with a laugh as Ulrich ran past Charlie with the ball. She ran after him, slide tackling him to get the ball away. He tripped as she darted back down towards the goal.
"Hey Yumi." Yumi turned her head to see William.
"Oh, Hi Will." She turned her attention back to the game.
"Who's the girl?" there was a slight hope in his voice.
"Ulrich's sister."
"Oh." The hope fell.
'ZIP'
The ball flew past Yumi's face and hit William in the head. Charlie's hands went to her mouth.
"Oh My God! I'm so sorry! I got carried away! Are you ok?" She ran up the stairs.
"As always," Ulrich sighed folding his arms.
"Are you ok?" Charlie asked again. William moved his hand from the side of his head where a lump was forming.
"Ow," he said shutting his eyes. "That's a lot Ulrich," He muttered.
"Hey, I didn't kick it. Charlie did," Ulrich laughed, mentally high-fiveing his sister.
"Nice to meet you too, Charlie," William laughed.
"I didn't mean it!" she defended.
"Don't worry about it," He opened his eyes and looked at her. His mouth hung open mid-sentence.
