I know that I don't own Lyoko, but I do own Chen, Grent, Lori, and Tara. Yumi is 15 and Chen is 18. You can figure out everybody else's age when you read.
"Mom. Do you think that I can invite Ulrich, Jeremie, and Odd over for dinner?"
"Sure. Call them and tell them that they can come over for dinner."
"Okay. I am sure that they will like the dinner that you are making. Could you put some food aside. I want to put some food on the graves of Rave 1 and 2. You had better make a lot. Lori and Odd together will eat almost all of the food that you make and still want some dessert."
"Okay dear. Call them to tell them. I will take care of the food."
Yumi went to her room and dialed Ulrich's cell phone number. Odd should be with him. "Hello?"
"Hi Ulrich. Would it be okay for you and Odd come over for dinner?"
"I know that I can. I'll ask Odd." There was a pause on the other line and then a scream for joy. "Odd said that he would love to come and eat your mother's cooking."
"I guessed that from the scream that you received, that was his yes. I bet that all of France heard that." They both laughed. "I still need to call Jeremie to ask him. Bye."
"Bye, Yumi."
Yumi called Jeremie. "Hello?"
"Hi, Jeremie. I was wondering if you would like to come over for dinner. If you heard the scream you should know that I asked Odd and Ulrich already."
"Sure. I'm surprised that Ulrich didn't go deft yet. Your mom is a really good cook."
"Come at 6 o'clock. Tell Ulrich and Odd that. I forgot to tell them that."
"I will. Bye."
"Bye." Yumi hung up the phone and went downstairs. "Yumi. I already heard that Odd would be delighted to come. I am sure that all of Europe heard him. What did Ulrich and Jeremie say?"
"They said that they would love to come and that you are the best cook that they have ever met."
"That's nice, but it won't get them extra dessert. I am making Mississippi Mud Pie ((this is a really good pie and it is not mud, its chocolate)). I hope that they will like it."
"I am sure that they will."
At 6 o'clock, Aelita answered the door to the boys. "The food is in the backyard." When Aelita said this she was almost knocked down by Odd.
"He didn't eat anything since Yumi called and asked if we could come over for dinner."
Yumi came up behind Aelita. "Hi. From the hurry of Odd's rush, Aelita already told you about the food being in the backyard."
"She did."
"You should get there before Odd and Lori eat everything." They all went to the backyard. Everyone got a plate and took some food. Yumi, Tara and Chen sat on the stone bench under the cherry tree. Aelita and Jeremie sat on the back steps. Odd and Lori were having an eating contest in the corner. Grent and Mrs. Ishiyama sat on lawn chairs.
"Is there anymore food, Mrs. Ishiyama? I'm still hungry and Odd still wants to see if he can eat mare food than me."
"I think that there is some in the kitchen."
Odd ran into the house and shouted, "Pie!"
"Odd! You touch my pie and I will hurt you. I said Food, not Pie! Just bring the pie out here so everyone can have some."
Odd came out with the pie and a knife. He gave them both to Mrs. Ishiyama. She cut the pie into ten equal pieces. She handed out the plates, but Yumi didn't see her with the pie plates and she didn't grab her's. She was lucky because Odd made a dive for it and caught it. "Why didn't you take your pie, Yumi?"
"What pie?"
"Your mom just passed out the pie."
"Oh. I didn't know that she was passing out pie. Chen, why didn't you tell me?" Yumi punched Chen in the arm because he was right next to her.
"Why punch Chen, for not telling you about the pie, and not Odd, for trying to steal your pie?" asked Lori. Yumi sighed.
"I wanted to tell all of you at one time. That is why I didn't tell you before. I am now temporarily blind from the hit-and-run accident. I will need someone to help me at all times. Until I get my sight back, I will need help from all of you."
There was a silence while this info soaked in. Jeremie finally spoke. "What about the dance? You will need to see what strings you pluck on your guitar and you will also need to see the words to songs you will sing."
"I will practice and I know my strings pretty well. For some songs, the girls will help me and other songs the boys will sing. I already know most of the words to the songs that I will sing."
For the next couple of hours, everyone had fun. Jeremie looked at his watch. "It is 10 o'clock. We should get back to school and see if we can get dorms without being caught by Jim."
"Tomorrow, come back here at 10 so we can practice. We need to be ready by next week, or we won't be able to play. Do you really want to hear Sissi's band, The Pinkies?"
"We will come by tomorrow. Yumi it's your turn to supply the snacks. Bye."
"Bye everyone."
When they left, Lori and Tara helped Mrs. Ishiyama with the dishes and Chen and Grent went on a jog before bed. Aelita and Yumi went to Yumi's room and got ready for bed. "What are you going to have for a snack?"
"That is a secret." Yumi had a sly look on her face.
Lori came in and asked, "Have you decided what you are going to wear for the dance?"
"No. I know that my mom has already chosen an outfit for me and that I will know what it is on Thursday."
"Mrs. Ishiyama did the same for me. She is going to take us girls to a beauty salon on Friday."
"She will probably do the same for myself and Tara. I can't wait."
"We should get to bed. Night Aelita. Night Lori."
Yumi woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat. That was the worst dream that I ever had. I know that it was just a dream, but it felt so real. I need some fresh air. I hope that it will help me clear my head. Yumi opened her window and climbed out. She slid down and landed on the ground with a soft thud. She went over to the stone bench and sat down.
This was her dream.
Yumi was walking towards her friends. She could see perfectly fine. She waved to her friends. She was about ten paces away from them when a ninja came out of the trees. It killed everyone that Yumi had seen just two seconds ago. It had happened in slow motion. When Yumi ran away, the ninja came after her. She ran and then when she got to the park she stopped. She turned around and didn't see the ninja.
She sat down on the park bench that was next to her and then she was surrounded by ninjas. They made a tight circle around her so she couldn't escape. Then, she heard Xana's laugh. She turned around and saw Xana in a human form. He was holding a katana. "You are going to die." Xana ran at her, and sliced her arm. "I am going to make this kill slow and painful. For you." He continued to cut her. She was only able to dodge a few of the swipes that he made at her. One of the ninjas grabbed her when she was almost completely covered in her own bood. She woke up when Xana was about to slice her stomach to kill her.
Yumi heard a twig snap and she just thought that it was a squirrel. Yumi started to weep silently. The thing that snapped the twig wasn't a squirrel. It was Yune. He was hidden in a bush by the fence door. Why is she crying? I will get you back from these people. They aren't your real family. You are Yuna Mazoki.
Yune was a Mazoki. A reason why he thought this is because he had a little sister that was taken away from his family when she was born. Before she was born, the Mazokis had a person tell them what to expect with the new baby. They were told that she would look like any other girl when she was younger, but she wouldn't share their interests. She would be around boys most of the time. She would share their interests.
Fighting with swords and their martial arts. She would win every fight that came her way. She would have great balance and she would have sharp senses. Even though she would hang out with boys, she wouldn't like any of them. The person said that she would become very pretty as she aged. Yumi had proven to have all of these traits.
I need to check if she is a good fighter. I think that her school has a good martial arts class. I will enroll there on Monday. He looked at Yumi again and she was asleep. I will get you back and take you to your real family. You are a Mazoki! He left and went back to where he was staying.
