Okay, to clear up a few things about the last chappie:

Richard started dating Yumi right after the team shut down XANA.

A year ago (two years after Yumi started dating R), yumi and Richard were engaged.

Then they went to meet Richard's parents and were gone for a week.

During the week, Ulrich built the 'home away from home' around the tree and started building gadgets in his spare time.

Ulrich's grades started rising, so they were almost level with Aelita's.

None of the gang (except for Yumi now…) knows about the house. And absolutely NO ONE knows about the gadgets. Except for the force field…

Yumi THINKS she is in love with Richard… but bear with me, this is an entire UxY story… but there may be a little YumixRichard… but I HATE writing it out!

That should help a little. And this chappie will explain about Ulrich saying "The life I never had." So here you go:

Yumi said goodbye to Richard with a kiss at the door of her house. When the door was shut, she ran upstairs to her room and turned on her computer. She then typed in: Ulrich, Jack, and Marlene Stern (A/N: these are the names for Ulrich's parents that I made up… since I don't know heir real names…). The results came up:

Yumi's eyes got wide. And this was just the first page. Just reading the titles, she could understand why Ulrich was so solemn and quiet. He had been through a lot. Now she understood what he meant by "The life I never had." She Wrote down all the websites and kept scrolling through pages until she had written down all the sites.

By the end she had tears in her eyes. Ulrich's parents had died at his birth. That was so sad! And she had always imagined the government as big and cruel. But they were so unlike what she thought… they took Ulrich in. They died for him in a fire at each of their houses. Her cell phone rang, startling her. She picked it up and saw that it was Ulrich.

"Hello?"

"Stop searching for me."

She nearly fell of her chair in surprise, "W-what?"

"You heard me, Yumi. Stop trying to understand me. Stop trying to find out everything you can about my life."

"Ulrich why didn't you tell any of us?"

"Ha! Do you think I want to be pitied? As you must have seen, I have a lot to be sad about. And you guys would look after me like I was a baby. I'm NOT! Okay? You would probably make sure that I wouldn't go anywhere without one of you there. I'm perfectly able to take care of myself. And the government thought that too. They gave me permission to kill my Uncle if he came near me. You may think you understand, but you have no idea how hard it is for me to live a normal life. No idea…"

"Ulrich…" Yumi's voice broke.

"STOP CRYING! GOSH DARN IT! Did you not hear me? I don't want to be pitied!"

Yumi was so shocked by his sudden outburst that the waterworks stopped.

"THANK you! Now, stop searching, because you won't be able to find it all on the Internet. Only about a third of my life is on there."

"A-a third?" she whispered faintly. She didn't get an answer, only the dial tone. She stared at the phone, 'How did he know?' she asked herself.

How did he know? Oh! I know how he knew!

Ulrich: I know that you know how I knew.

Yumi: Let me know so I'll know how you knew that MC knew that you knew!

Jeremy: Hey! I know how he knew that MC knew that he knew!

Aelita: How did you know that he knew that she knew that he knew?

Odd: who knows?

J, A, y, U, & MC: slaps foreheads.

ME: I'll tell you later.

Okay, now that that's cleared up, READ AND REVIEW! I'm bored… AGAIN! Got 2 Go write MORE! MUA HAHAHAHA! Yawn still bored. READ AND REVIEW! Later persons.
