Hello! It's me, Naruto'sramengirl with another chapter. It seems that my last chapter was a big hit, so that makes me very happy.

Naruto: My girl is happy! Did you see me yesterday?

Yes, I did, but I was still working on the story until 9. But seeing as I did get to see the two new episodes, this chapter is free. Now, do the disclaimer, my delicious bowl of ramen love!

Naruto: My ramen girl does not own Code Lyoko, Zelda, or Naruto. Just kidding about the last part. . . She doesn't own the show, but she owns my life, and that's just as good.

Oh stop, Naruto, you're making me blush!

Here's the next chapter: Something's Amiss Part 1

Ulrich decided that he didn't have to be sad, and sucked it up. Everyone spent the school year, having fun. Sonrick did a dangerous prank, and everybody blew up, and died. The End

Just Kidding! Here's what really happened.

"So, you guys are from the future?" Doug asked.

"Yep." the future Ulrich said, as he ate a bowl of ramen noodles.

"And you two were making ramen songs?" Ann asked.

"Yes." Future Yumi answered.

"A-are there m-more?" Burrick asked.

"Yes." the future friends answered, now getting annoyed.

"Here are some of them on video, just stop asking those kinds of questions." Future Ulrich said as he put the tape in.

What you gone do with all those noodles,

All those noodles inside yo bowl,

I'ma get, get, get, get, you full, get full with ramen,

With ramen, ramen noodles. . .

Don't you wish yo ramen was hot like mine,

Don't you wish yo ramen was good like mine,

Don't cha, Don't cha. . .

"Yeah, I would really like to see your videos, but we have a depressed kid here." Cam said. He was getting impatient. He really wanted to know why his brother was acting the way he was.

The Future Yumi looked sad for Ulrich."Awww. Ulrich, what's wrong?" she said in a sweet and sad sort of way.

"Everything." he replied as he looked at Yumi, and looked back down.

"Well we knew that." Sonrick said followed by a punch on his head by Ann. "You guys really have to stop that! Do you want be to get brain damaged?"

"Too late." Biggs said as everyone laughed.

"Well what's wrong with everything?" Future Ulrich asked his younger self.

"You should know." Ulrich stated.

"I do, but this is more fun." F. Ulrich replied.

Ulrich sighed, and began explaining his condition."I'm sad because I lost the love of my life, Dad's threatening to send me back to America if all of my grades on the first report card that has anything lower than a B-, and I uh. . . will be kicked out of this club I joined if I don't get a license renewed. The thing is, I'm not qualified to get the license renewed." he looked at all of his friends, and said, "Don't ask about the club thing. It's a secret."

"Awww, you poor thing." F. Yumi said. She seemed to feel sorry for Ulrich.

"You know what could help?" X said."The thing is you got a lot of stress built up too. You just need time to lose the stress, but it's not like you can go on a vacation." He began pondering on what to do.

Everyone was pondering on how Ulrich could get some extra free time to lose this stress.

"I know!" F. Yumi whispered her plan into F. Ulrich's ear, and he agreed.

"What?" Ulrich asked.

"Why don't you come to the future with us?! That way you could get plenty of time off." F. Yumi exclaimed.

"How are we going to do that?" the younger Yumi asked.

"We can teleport him here. He can stay here for 3 weeks, and come back before dinner." the older of the two explained."It will be like he never left!"

"That's a great idea!" Odd exclaimed."Can we come too?"

"We'll just need someone to come with Ulrich." the older Ulrich said.

"And that will be me."Cam stated.

"Why you?" Aelita asked.

"Because I know all I need to know about the future, so if anything happens while we're there, I can easily step in, and help solve the problem." he explained.

"Then it settled! Cam and Ulrich will, like go to the future, and we can like check on them from time to time!" Maddie said.

Everyone agreed. Cam pressed some buttons on the TV, and he and Ulrich strapped belts on themselves.

"See ya in 10 years!" Odd said as they began teleporting into the future.

The rest of the gang checked Cam's other TV, which was linked to his small cameras that were stationed all over the world. They tuned in to the one that was taping Cam and Ulrich.

Ulrich and Cam teleported into the house Yumi and Ulrich were in, but in a different room. They were in the kitchen. Suddenly, a screaming 24 year old Aelita came running to them. She embraced them in a tight hug saying, "I can't believe you guys are here in the future!"

"It's good to see you too." Ulrich managed to say. He and Cam could hardly breathe.

As soon as she let go, Yumi had them in another death lock. "Hi guys! How do you like the future so far?"

"It's cool!" Cam managed to say.

Yumi let go, and asked," Why do you say that?

"Because women come up and hug you the minute they lay eyes on you." Cam said as he and the others laughed.

"Well not all women are like that. Aelita and I just know you two. Now come on, and meet the others!" Yumi said as she walked into the room that she was originally in. "Guys, this is the future!" She made a gesture to all of the people waiting for Cam and Ulrich to arrive. There were hugs, and punches to the arms as they all introduced themselves. Like that was needed.

"Hey where's Ulrich?" Yumi asked.

"He just got called for a, um," Jeremie was looking for something to say that wouldn't expose whatever secret they were hiding from Ulrich and Cam.

"Case!" Aelita quickly said."He got called to handle a case."

"I'm a lawyer?" Ulrich asked astonished.

"No, you're a detective." Rick said. He was right about Ulrich being on the side of justice, but he wasn't a detective.

"Hm. I guess that's cool." Ulrich said as he sat down on a beanbag chair."I always wanted to ask you this. Whose house is this?"

"It's Sonrick and Dolslik's." Burrick said quietly he didn't stutter as much, but seeing as he knew everyone for at least 10 years, he didn't do it around them.

"So we're in America?" Cam asked.

"No, we all moved to France." Ann explained.

"Seriously?" Cam asked with a questionable look on his face.

"Seriously." Ann answered.

"I'm sure you two didn't come to play 20 questions. Let's have some fun!" Odd said.

They played all kinds of games, and just hung out. Ulrich had finally got back from his "case."

"Hey, Ulrich! How was the "case?" Yumi asked him as he walked in.

"It was a success. Now where's Ulrich?" he quickly said.

"He's—" before she could say another word, the older Ulrich had started walking off.

"Fine! Be that way!" Yumi said as she walked into the basement, which was turned into a big room for the gang to hang out in.

Everyone said hi as Ulrich came in. He went straight to Ulrich, and said, "Hey, Ulrich, it's late, you ready to go?"

"No." Ulrich plainly said. He was just starting to enjoy himself as the gang sat around watching Scary Movie 9. They had just finished playing Mario Party 13, and Final Fantasy 18.

"Well I'm a bit tired, so I'm goin' home. Cam will give you a ride to mom and dad's place."

"They live here now?" Ulrich said.

"Yep." the older one replied.

"Can you believe it? He's 24 years old, and lives with his mom." Sonrick said.

"And you wander why I have so much money. It's because I don't have a single bill to pay. So while you're breaking your back to pay bills, I'll be chillin' at home usin' my money for more desirable things."

"Whatever." Sonrick said as he threw popcorn at the older Ulrich.

"Bye guys." Ulrich said as he walked out of the room.

It took a minute for what he said to register through their minds.

"Did Ulrich just say 'bye guys?'" Yumi asked.

"He did." Dolslik said with a worried expression.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

"What's weird about that?" a dumbfounded Jeremie asked.

"Ulrich has this thing. He never tells any of his friends good bye, because of the saying friends never say goodbye. To him, your friends are always with you, so you don't have to say that, unless that's the last time you see them, and that would be a funeral." X explained.

"Didn't know Ulrich cared about friends and family like that." Aelita commented.

"That's because you never asked, and Ulrich tries to keep his past and way of life a mystery." Biggs replied. Everyone went back to watching TV.

"Let's just get back to watching TV." Sonrick said."It was probably our imaginations."

"It is getting late."Maddie stated.

For the rest of the week, the older Ulrich's behavior began to change. He didn't hang around his friends too much, and acted kind of mean to them. Especially Yumi. It was the seventh day of Ulrich and Cam's stay. They had gone to go see a movie with the gang. The movie was Rocky 10.

Ulrich and Yumi had already seen it so they would be staying at Sonrick's until they got back.

"Can you actually believe they're still making Rocky movies?"Ulrich asked the gang as they left.

The gang had finally come back.

"That was pretty good." Cam said as they got to the front door.

"Rocky 9 was way. . . .Oh my gosh!" Sonrick said as he opened the front door

"What's going. . . . . . Oh my." Aelita said as she saw the scene before her.

Ulrich and Cam pushed their way through the group, and saw something that shocked them both.

What was so surprising? Does it have something to do with Ulrich's strange behavior? Find out on the next exciting chapter of . . . The Best of Times The Worst of Times.

Oooohhh. My first cliffie. It feels good. You guys don't know what's going on. Only I do. The only way you'll find out is if you read the next chapter. Which will probably be up by tomorrow. Aren't you lucky? Don't forget to review! Buh-bye!
