Author's Note: Hey, Destiny again..I don't have time to add reviews in detail like I usually do, but thanks again to everyone who has replied, you guys rule! Ok...I'm pretty sure this chappie's gonna be long (probably shoulda written it sooner just in case) I'm not one of those people that saves the whole story at one time. That would be boring. Here's the next chapter, enjoy.
(In the Ishyama's car)
"I'm so glad you came to see Yumi off today, Ulrich!" Mrs. Ishiyama said cheerfully. Ulrich shrugged. Yumi wouldn't even look at him. She was staring out the window.
"Um...so, you're moving because this enviroment isn't good for you guys?" Ulrich asked. As hard as it was to accept that Yumi was leaving, it was even harder when the car was silent. And Mrs. Ishyama seemed like the only one in the mood to talk.
"That and, of course, he," she indicated her husband, "got a transfer."
"A transfer?" Ulrich asked, confused. Why hadn't Yumi mentioned it earlier. He whispered softly. "But she said it was enviroment.."
"That's the excuse mom used, ok?! Stupid, I know.." Yumi said, still not making eye contact with Ulrich.
Ulrich sank into his seat. This was useless. He kept thinking about that moment...he had almost told her the truth. Why hadn't he? He was afraid. Simple as that. He could save the world on a nearly daily basis, but he couldn't admit when he was in love.
It would be a half an hour or so before they would reach the station. A half an hour of uncomfortable silence, apparently, because Mrs. Ishyama had just fallen asleep, and Mr. Ishyama was concentrating hard on the road, and Yumi still wouldn't even look at Ulrich, much less talk to him.
(Jeremie's room)
Despite how early in the morning was, Odd had swung by Jeremie's room the instant Ulrich and Yumi left.
"How do you think they are?" Odd asked.
"No idea, Odd.." Jeremie looked bored, but he stood up, and logged onto the computer. Just in time. Aelita's familiar face popped up.
"Jeremie! XANA's activated a tower!" She said worriedly. "I'm only a little whiles away from the tower, but the monsters..."
"Odd and I will go to the factory, all right, Aelita? We'll get the tower de-activated." Jeremie promised her. Odd followed him until they reached the super calulator. Odd went to the elevator and went inside his scanner, and waited on Jeremie.
(Train Station)
Oh, God, Ulrich thought, this was going too fast. The car had arrived in what felt like no time, and the luggage was already on board. Now the Ishyamas were about to get on board, the instant they finished their goodbyes with him. And then they would fade, becoming only memories in Ulrich's mind.
Yumi hugged him tightly. "Don't forget me, Ulrich." She said, then she turned and got on the train.
Some little girl with a boom box was running around, singing at the top of her lungs until her song stopped. But then, she turned the volume up....
So you leavin' in
the mornin'
on the early train.
Well I could say
everything's all right
and I could pretend
and say goodbye
Got your ticket
got your suitcase
got your leaving smile
Oh I could say that's the way it goes
and I could pretend you won't know
That I was lying...
Cuz I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
We Took a taxi
to the station
not a word was said
and I saw you walk across the road
for maybe the last time, I don't know
Feeling humble
heard a rumble on the railway track
and when I hear the whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
that I'll be crying...
Cuz I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Even try,
I'll always be here by your side.
Why, why, why?
I never wanted to say goodbye,
Why even try?
I'm always here, if you change,
change your mind.
So you're leavin'
in the mornin'
on the early train
Well, I could say everything's alright
and I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying...
Cuz I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Cuz I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Why should I?
Why should I?
Why should I, even try?
Cuz I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Why should I?
Why should I?
Dunno why
Why should I?
Why should I, even try?
Ulrich had to face facts. Yumi was gone. There'd be no going back...
(In Lyoko)
"Aelita, can you make it to the tower?" Odd asked, hitting another monster with his lazer arrow.
"Yes, thank you, Odd!" She made her way to the tower...
(Train Station)
Ulrich sunk against the wall..he had to wait for Jim to come pick him up. He felt horrible..
(Lyoko)
Aelita stepped on the first pad, until she reached the middle, and began to rise..
(Train Station)
Yumi would never know how he felt about her..never...
(Lyoko)
Aelita pressed her palm to the screen, and it identified her. Then, it automatically typed in the code.
(real world, in the factory)
"Return to the past now!" Jeremie called, pressing the enter button...
(Back to what went wrong)
Yumi sat up in her bed and looked around. Same house...huh...that was funny. "Lyoko..XANA.." She muttered to herself, getting up.
Wait a second..there was a small China doll on her dresser. The one she had broken right after the last time the group had returned to the past, after listening to her parents tell her she was moving for the second time. Today was the day she would get that news. She got dressed slowly, then went downstairs.
"Honey! You're gonna be late to school if you don't get a move on it!" Mrs. Ishyama said cheerfully. The first two times Yumi had gone through this day, her mother had not said that.
"Mom..we're not moving, are we?" Yumi asked. Mrs. Ishyama gave her daughter a confused look.
"Moving? Dear, why would we be moving? You better get off to school now.." Mrs. Ishyama turned to go clean the house. Smiling, Yumi raced out of the house.
(At school)
"Yumi!" Odd, Ulrich, and Jeremie said in unison when they saw her.
Yumi smiled. "Jeremie, do you think XANA would ever do something like send a transfer through the computer? You know, like to try to seperate us?" She asked.
Jeremie thought it over. "Yeah..I bet he could. You don't mean--" Jeremie smiled brightly when Yumi nodded.
"Ok, Einstein, what is that supposed to mean?!" Odd demanded.
"It means I'm not leaving. That was XANA's attack." Yumi explained.
Ulrich let out a sigh of relief, and hugged Yumi. "Thank goodness you're back." He whispered in her ear. Maybe he didn't have the courage to tell her how he felt. But he now had more time to tell her. He swore he would tell her soon. When they both were ready.
(over at a drink fountain, watching the scene)
Sissy grunted in frustration. "Ugh.." she said, watching Yumi and Ulrich hug. "I don't get it..what's she got that I don't?!"
"Um..absolutely nothing, Sissy. You're the greatest." Herb answered loyally.
Sissy turned and smiled at him. "You know what..I need to get over Ulrich. He doesn't deserve me anyways...c'mon, you're taking me on a date tonight!" She commanded.
"A date?! Ok!" Herb said, following her as she walked off.
"Yumi.." Ulrich said softly, "Never leave me again, ok?" Yumi looked him straight in the eye.
"Never."
Author's note: yeah, yeah, I know, he didn't admit..but I mean, how predictable would THAT be?! Hope you enjoyed..
