Questions
A/N: Alright, again I apologize if this isn't up to my usual standards… -o-" We have two normal computers downstairs in the same room and my siblings are playing a game on the other one and being quite loud. XD Stupid siblings… Right now I can use the laptop to type, so I'm not having as much issues. I'm hoping my dad'll look at it tonight. See, for some reason it's not catching the IP address of the newer router that we got since my dad switched all the computers to that one. We used to have two. I don't understand it and it's got him confused. We've tried re-starting it and everything. It's been going for 5:10 mins trying to get the IP address…
To the story!
"Good morning, Ulrich," Aelita greeted as the two roommates headed toward the table.
"Not going to eat breakfast?" Jeremie asked from his spot on the other side of the table, looking toward Ulrich.
Ulrich shook his head and laid it down on the table. He mumbled something.
"What was that?" Odd asked, pointing his fork toward Ulrich's head.
Ulrich lifted his head and spoke again, "Sorry for missing the Xana attack. I was talking to my parents about the fire and it'd already been two hours after I'd gotten the text when I saw it so I assumed you guys were fine. If you weren't I assumed you would have called more than you did. One call and one text. And the call was from Odd telling me about Lirril." He laid his head back down.
"Are you alright?" Aelita asked, placing her hand on his shoulder and feeling him tense.
Ulrich moved his head so they could see his face and shook his head. "Ever since Lia has shown up I've been having these horrible headaches every time I try to remember what she's talking about… I keep seeing these weird vision things in my dreams about this little boy and he's being chased and there's a huge fire… The fire only burns near the boy and nowhere else in that time… I don't know… I think the little boy is me… If he is then I'm really Lia's brother like she keeps saying…" He pressed his head against the cool table.
"Maybe your mind is suppressing the memories?" Jeremie suggested, looking up from his work and toward Ulrich.
"Why though?" he asked, as Yumi walked over.
"Well, maybe the memories are too painful for you to remember them. It would explain a lot, though. If you're Tristam and Tristam was caught in a fire then that means that when you were younger you were in a fire. It would explain why you have a fear of fire," Aelita explained.
"What's going on?" Yumi asked, sitting down and looking toward Ulrich.
"Odd, go ask Lia to ask Zephyr what my headache might mean…" he whispered as he tried to calm the pain in his head.
"Who's Zephyr?" he heard Lirril ask.
Ulrich silently cursed himself as he remembered what Lia had told him… If he said their real names that could get them all in humongous trouble… "Yeah, Zephyr's my uncle… He's a doctor."
"Oh, I see. Anyway, Odd, last night was fun. I hope we can hangout again sometime," Lirril stated waving at the group and walking off to catch up with Zander and two other girls.
"Odd, go tell Lia to ask Seth about the headache…" Ulrich stated again.
-Lirril-
"He definitely knows Zephyr. He mentioned him and was talking about a headache. It seems it's been bothering him for awhile," Lirril said after she'd caught up. Looking back at the small group of friends she wished to be over there more.
"Good work, Lirril. The Creators are checking up in two days' time and I plan to have made more progress in the area of making friends with him. We need to get him to trust us so that he'll listen. We need to make sure that we have everything under control. If we can keep Zephyr then we might be able to get rid of Aivillia," Zender explained quietly as they walked.
Lirril looked back at them again before shutting the door. She silently swore to herself that whatever it took she would take down Zender. If she took down Zender and joined Aivillia and Zephyr then she'd get the chance to make a family…
(*)(*)(*)(*) After School (*)(*)(*)(*)
Lirril walked up to Odd and grabbed his arm gently. "Can I ask you something?"
Odd nodded and looked quickly over to where Lia was talking to Ulrich before following Lirril to a quieter area.
"No matter how weird this sounds to you please just answer the questions, alright?" she asked, looking him straight in the eye.
Odd was confused, but nodded anyway.
"You and your friends are kind of like an extended family, right?"
Odd nodded. "Yumi's kind of like the mother of the group. She's the most mature of us, the oldest, and sometimes the most rational. Jeremie's the genius that we all poke fun at, but he's awesome in the end. Ulrich's the sports kid and he doesn't get the best grades… I'm the jokester. I'm always pulling pranks. Aelita is like our little sister. She's the one that we all love," Odd stated with a wide grin. I'm assuming that's not how you and Zender along with your other two friends are?"
"Right… We've known each other for fifteen years…"
"Yeah, I get what you mean. Sometimes, though, friends just don't work and they drift apart…"
"I think I understand what you mean… Friends trust each other, right?"
"Yup, I'd trust each of every one of them with my life."
-Ulrich-
He'd finally convinced his friends that he'd be alright enough to walk down to Yolanda's office and ask for some aspirin. Throughout the course of the day his headache had gotten worse and worse… Now it just stayed; he didn't have to look at the pictures to trigger it.
He leaned against the wall and look the coolness of the brick stop his pounding head… It helped for a small while and then he blacked out.
"Tristam, please sit down in your seat. As soon as you sit down we'll get you some food and I'll go walking with you," a woman that had his and Aivillia's eyes told the small boy.
"But it's boring just sitting here… I'd rather being helping Father with his work," Tristam told the woman.
"Spheilia, are you and the children ready?" someone asked from the hallway.
"Almost, one more minute!" she shouted and then whispered to Tristam. "You don't worry about that. You're only four."
"Four and a half," he stated, as if he were correcting a major mistake his mother had made.
"Zephyr! That isn't fair!" a girl's voice yelled as they heard the echoing sound of feet hitting the floor as if someone were jumping.
"Give me my doll back! Mom!" the girl yelled, the jumping sound continuing.
"Zephyr, give Aivillia the doll back," the woman order, taking Aivillia's hand and bring her, Zephyr, and Tristam to the location the picture was being taken.
"I'm glad you all finally finished getting ready," a tall, muscular man told them in a booming voice. "As soon as I get done with my work we'll all go and play outside," the man told the three as they sat.
"Smile," the man taking the picture said.
A/N: Probably could have been better, but I finally got the laptop so I could type this and then use a flashdrive and transfer it to a working computer. D= If you guys have any ideas they'd really be appreciated. =3
Read and review!

P.S. Sorry about the lateness everybody! I wanted to post this yesterday, but I forgot the flashdrive when I came downstairs and was too tired to go back and get it. X3
