Chapter 1
"...and the dude said, 'You've got to go through the duck hole." Odd said, finishing his joke as the four walked away from the cafiteria from breakfast.
Ulrich shook his head before looking over at the bench they all gathered at and saw that Yumi was already there. "Hey Yumi, is everything alright?!" Ulrich called as they headed over there.
Yumi looked up, her hair down covering her right eye. "Ya, I'm fine." she looked towards Aelita and asked, "Hey, Aelita, could I ask a favor?"
"Sure Yumi." Aelita said, surpised.
"Could I spend the night with you tonight?" Yumi asked, looking down at her arms and pulling the sleaves closer to her hands. "I need to get away from my parents."
"Of course." Aelita said, wondering what was up.
Ulrich sat down next to her on the bench and looked at her. "You know, if anything's happening at home, we're here to help." Ulrich said, smiling.
Yumi turned to him, her hair moving away as it was not used to being like that, and showing her black eye to her friends as she said, "Thank you."
"What happened to your eye?!" Jeremie exclamed, seeing it with all of their friends.
Yumi moved her hair back so that it was covering it and said, "It was nothing. I just ran into a wall."
"Are you sure-"
"It's ok, Yumi." Ulrich said, cutting Odd off. He knew that Yumi would tell them in due time.
Beep Beep Beep
Jeremie pulled out his laptop and sat it down in the spot next to Yumi. "School's going to have to wait." Jeremie said as the bell rang for school to start. "Xana's activated a tower."
"Let's go." Yumi said, standing up.
"You're heading towards the forest sector." Jeremie said as the elevators opened towards the scanner room. "Let's stop Xana before he can do any harm."
"Got it, Jeremie." Ulrich said as he and Odd stepped into the scanners first.
"Transfer Odd, Transfer Ulrich, Scanner Odd, Scanner Ulrich, Virtulization." Jeremie said, typing in the comands.
The scanners opened as Odd and Ulrich left the scanners to go into Lyoko. The two fell from the sky and waited for the ladies to fall.
Yumi and Aelita appeared in the sky as Jeremie said, "The tower's north of your position. Here's your vehicals."
"Thanks Einstien." Odd said, hopping onto his Overboard.
The group of four headed down the trail, going for the tower.
"Hey, look out!" Jeremie said, noticing red traingles on his screen. "Xana's surounding you with monsters."
"Man, Xana's sure pulling out all the stops." Odd said as they stopped as two krabes appeared infront of them.
"And behind us." Yumi said, noticiting there was two behind them.
"Xana's not normaly this out front." Aelita said, trying to get so that none of the krabes could get to her.
"Why haven't they shot at us?" Ulrich asked as he moved so that he was backing Yumi.
"Maybe they're waiting for us to make the first move." Yumi said.
"Well, I guess that's me. Laser arrow!" Odd said, shooting at the one in front of him.
"Nice shot Odd." Jeremie complamated.
The Krabe in front of Yumi shot her just as she moved her fan to deflect it, only for the inpact to shoot her into Ulrich's back as he was getting shot at.
"AHHH!" Yumi cried as she lost her balence and was shot in the stumich, devertulizing her as she fell to the ground.
Before she was totaly gone, Ulrich fell down on top of her form and was devertulized.
"That's strange." Jeremie said, as he read his screens.
"What Jeremie?" Aelita asked as she and Odd watched the Krabes leaving. "The krabes?"
"What? Oh, that too, but the tower's not activated anymore." Jeremie said. "I'm bringing you two back home."
As Jeremie was typing in the materialization program, a window popped up.
"Uh, Jeremie." a new voice said from the scanner room.
"Huh? Ulrich, Yumi is that you?" Jeremie asked, trying to figure out what was going on as he read the window.
"We've got a problem." the voice said.
The two scanners opened for Aelita and Odd as the two came out, trying to regain their straingth.
Odd looked over at, who at first glance he thought was Ulrich, but than saw that his hair was black, and he was in tight black pants.
"Ulrich, where's Yumi?" Odd asked, as he stepped out of the scanner. "And what's with the weird outfit."
Ulrich turned around to show that he was more of a she/he cross. "We've got a big problem." Ulrich said, Yumi's voice mixed with his.
"When Xana shot at you two at the same time, he morphed your DNA to combine into one person." Jeremie said, trying to explain what happened to Yumi and Ulrich.
"So you're saying we're stuck in the same body." Ulrich said.
"That's got to be interesting." Odd said, smiling at them.
"What are you thinking, Odd?" Ulrich asked.
"My biggest questen is why is Ulrich's voice more dominate. They're body was evenly split, but not voice." Aelita said, looking at how their body was poporstioned.
"I think that has to do with his lower pich of a voice." Jeremie said.
"Shoot, we've got to get back to school." Aelita said, looking at the screen in front of Jeremie.
Jeremie jumped off of his chair as Ulrich said, "What!? There's no way I can go to school looking like this!" motioning towards his chest to show that Yumi's boobs were very obvious. "Not unless you've got a really big t-shirt to make these look like nothing."
"And they can't be in two places at once." Odd said as they headed towards the elevator.
"Well, Yumi, you said you were having issues at home, non?" Aelita said, thinking quickly. She pressed the button and the door shut, taking them upwards towards the ground level.
"Yes." Ulrich/Yumi said.
"Well, than you two will have to take Ulrich's spot and Yumi will have to be appsent." Aelita said. "I'm sure that if you told your mother that you just needed a day away, she will give you a note for you to give to your teachers, giving you an excuse for being apsent."
"That makes sence." Ulrich/Yumi said as they headed up, heading for the bridge. "But what about my other issue."
"I think I've got a big t-shirt. The one from the Subdigital's consert." Odd said.
"Oh, right. You got it for free and they gave you a large." Ulrich said, remembering. "It looks like a dress on you."
Odd grinded his teeth togther to prevent him from comenting on that.
Jeremie removed the man hole cover and headed down with Aelita right behind him.
"Where is that shirt?" Ulrich/Yumi asked as Odd headed down.
"I think it's in the drawer with all my shirts." Odd said.
"Ok, we'll head over there when we get to school and meet you all back in Mrs. Meyers class." Ulrich/Yumi said, grabbing Ulrich's skateboard to ride and Yumi's to bring back.
Hey Ulrich. Yumi thought as they went through the sewers.
Ya Yumi.
I know you know that I didn't run into a wall, right?
Ya, but you sounded like you ddn't want to talk about it, so I did't try to push it.
Thanks, but I want to tell you. Yumi's part of their mind started to replay what had happened. Dad had gotten mad again, but this time, it seemed like he was mad at all of us.
Ulrich saw, in his mind's eye, what had happened from Yumi's point of view. Her father turned around, his fist already aimed for Yumi's eye as he turned to face her.
Did he hurt you on purpose? Ulrich asked as they stopped and put the boards up with their firend's and headed up the ladder.
I don't know. Yumi addmited.
They went up the ladder and in the park. "We're gone." Ulrich/Yumi said to their friends.
"I hope your idea works." Jeremie said as he, Odd, and Aelita waited in the park for the bell.
Ulrich and Yumi ran towards the dorms, keeping an eye out for any teacher.
They made it in the dorms without a problem and headed up for the room Ulrich shared with Odd.
They opened the door and went for Ulrich's wardrobe, closing the door behind them.
This feels so weird. Yumi thought as they took of Ulrich's shirts.
You're telling me. Ulrich thought as he got down to Yumi's bra. He put on the shirt Odd had told him about and looked in the mirror, hopping Yumi's boobs wouldn't show through.
"Why do you have to have up boobs?" Ulrich asked out loud as they took off Yumi's shoes and pants and got down to Ulrich's boxers.
Sorry, I thought guys liked that sort of thing. Yumi thought as they reached for Ulrich's green pants.
On you, yes. It looks great. But they don't look right when we're trying to be me. Ulrich thought. He put on his white shoes as the bell rang. "Perfict timing." Ulrich/Yumi said.
Ulrich grabbed his bag and they ran out, heading towards his second block.
This is going to be a strange day. Yumi thought as they headed towards math class.
Hey, maybe you could help me get a good grade. Ulrich thought, hopefully.
Ya, since I already past this class last year. Yumi thought as they walked into the classroom.
They sat in Ulrich's spot, next to Odd, as Mrs. Meyers walked in.
Ulrich opened his bag to get out his pen bag, only to have Yumi's part of their mind look over at a note in his bag.
What's that? Yumi asked as Ulrich grabbed the bag.
Nothing. Ulrich thought as Mrs. Meyers called out role.
You know, I could just go through your memory. Yumi thought to him. Or I could just read it now.
Look, you can read it, just don't get mad. Ulrich thought as they reached into the bag and pulled out the note.
Yumi unfolded it and saw that it was addressed to her.
Yumi
I hope you don't get mad when I ask this, but I've got to ask you before someone else does. Do you like me? And I mean, more than just friends.
Ulrich could feel Yumi's mind go blank as if she eithor didn't know what to think or if she was trying to block it from Ulrich.
I knew it. Ulrich thought, part of him wanting to cry and run and he knew Yumi could feel the urge. You don't like me like that, do you?
Do you? Yumi asked as she folded up the paper and placed it back into his school bag so they could look like they were paying attention.
With out thinking, Ulrich's mind instently thought about all the times he had just wanted to kiss her, or tell her that he did love her. Then the pain of her telling him that she didn't want to be closer than friends when he came back from summer brake.
I'm sorry. Yumi thought.
For what?
When I told you that I just wanted to be friends, well, that past summer I had nightmears that you didn't love me. Aelita knew it was keeping me up. She was staying over with me and my family for awile and I ended up waking her up crying one time. I still feel stupid about that. I'm suposed to be strong. Never get hurt by anything, and I can't even take a love life.
Ya you could. If you just try. Ulrich thought as he smiled on the outside.I do love you. And I don't know if you noticed, but I've been fighting over you.
With who?
William. Who else.
oh, right. I keep forgetting that he likes me. He's just not at...suttle.
