OK guys and gals, im back with another chapter. I've decided that Ulrich and Yumi are gonna sing 'Little Talks' by Of Monsters and Men. It's a great song and it's a duet. Now all Yumi has to do is get over her stage fright.

Yumi walked into her apartment building later that day. She walked into the elevator and took it all the way up to the 4th floor. She walked down the hallway and unlocked her apartment door. She then turned around and shut the door. When she turned back around, she saw something she could of gone her whole life without seeing. There in front her were Aelita and Jeremy feeding each other. Aelita stopped mid-feeding when she noticed someone standing there. "Yumi, what the hell?" Aelita yelled. "Have you ever heard of knocking?"

"Why the hell would I knock, it's my house too." When Aelita noticed that Yumi was right, she sat back down. "Aelita, I know this isn't the right time, but I need your help."

"What's wrong Yumi?"

"You mind if we talk in private?"

"Sure, whatever you need." Aelita said turning to Jeremy. "You mind coming back later?"

"Fine." Jeremy then got up and opened the door. He then turned around and stared at Aelita. "I'll be back around 5:00."

Aelita stood on her tippy toes and kissed her boyfriend on the lips. She whispered into his ear "Don't forget to bring the whipped cream." (AN: I know Aelita and Jeremy would never do anything like that but I just put that in there to make my chapters longer.) Jeremy moaned and before he could respond, Aelita shut the door. She turned back around and stared at Yumi."Ok Yumi, now what the hell was so important that you made me kick Jeremy out?" Aelita said sitting on the couch

"Well after I picked up Ulrich, I took him back to his house. Then he grabbed his guitar and he sang 'Wonderwall ' to me while playing the part perfectly." Yumi said sitting on the couch with her.

"I love that song."

"I know."

"Then what happened."

"Well since I thought he was really great, I told him he should enter the talent show. But…."

"But what?"

"He told me he only enter if….."

"If."

"If I sang with him."

"I don't see the problem, just sing with him." Aelita grabbed Yumi's hands and looked into her eyes. "Yumi, you are a great singer."

"The problem is that I have to sing in front of a crowd of people."

"What's going on Yumi?"

"Aelita, I have terrible stage fright."

"Oh my God, Yumi." Aelita started. "I never knew."

"It's not something I like to talk about."

"Well what'd you say."

"I said yes."

"You did?" Yumi nodded. "Why?"

"At first, I said, but then he told this really sad story about and I felt really bad for him."

"So you said yes."

"Mmmhmm." Yumi sat down on the couch. "What am I gonna do. The talent show's in two days."

"I guess what you need to do is get over your stage fright."

"How am I gonna do that?"

"I'm gonna help you."

"You will?"

"Of course I will."

Friday was the day of the talent show. Yumi was sitting in her bedroom texting Ulrich. 'Hey babe. Did you get everybody to play the instruments?'

'Yeah. I'm on acoustic, Odd's on electric, Jonny's on bass, Nicholas is on drums, and Theo's on trumpet." (AN: I remember watching CL episode 'Seeing is Believing.' I was trying to have each character play the instrument that they played in that episode.)

'Awesome.'

'So whatcha doing?'

'Just sitting in my room.'

'Cool.'

'What about you?'

'Me, Odd, Jonny, add Theo are practicing for tonight.'

'Oh God, don't even mention tonight.' Yumi started. 'I'm scared as hell.'

'Don't be scared, you're gonna do great.'

Yumi smiled when she saw his text. 'You always know how to make me feel better.' Yumi looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was 6:15. 'Sorry, gotta go get ready for the show'

'Alright, I'll see you there.'

'Bye.'

Yumi grabbed her charger and plugged her phone up. She then walked into the bathroom. She opened the shower door and turned the knob to the left. "Hmm. Just right." She stripped off all her clothes and stepped into shower. She immediately grabbed her shampoo and squirted some into her hand. She then started to shampoo her hair. After that was done, she grabbed her rag and her body wash. She squirted it into her rag. She rubbed the body wash into her rag and then she started to wash under her arms. After she was finished, she turned around and turned the water off. She then opened the shower door then stepped out. She grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She then opened the bathroom door and ran over to the radio then turned it on. "But it was not your fault but mine. And it was your heart on the line. I really fucked it up this time. Didn't I my dear, didn't I my dear." Yumi sang walking back into the bathroom.

"Alright, that was Mumford and Sons with 'Little Lion Man.' Now here's, you guessed it, the Beastie Boys, right here on 104.9 The Gump." Yumi heard the sound of a robot talking, then, the beat came in.

"Well, now, don't you tell me to smile. You stick around I'll make it worth your while. Like numbers beyond what you can dial. Maybe its because we're so versatile. Style, profile I said. It always brings me back when I hear, "ooh child." From The Hudson River out to the Nile. I run the marathon to the very last mile. Well if you battle me I feel reviled. People always sayin' my style is wild. You've got gaul, you've got guile. If you step to me I'm going to rap full file. If you want to battle you're in denial. Comin' from Uranus to check my style. Go ahead with my rhymes I'll trial. Cast you off into exile."

Yumi grabbed her cordless hair dryer and turned it on. She then went on to dry her hair. Once she was done, she walked back into her bedroom. She walked over to her dresser. She then looked through her red shirts. She decided on a red v-neck t-shirt. She threw it on her bed and then walked into her closet. She pulled out her black skinny jeans that stopped right above her ankles and her black leather jacket. She walked over to her bed then put them both on it. She grabbed her panties and her bra then put them both on. Yumi walked back into the bathroom. She grabbed her deodorant and applied some to her underarms. She also grabbed her body spray and sprayed it. She walked back into her bedroom. She grabbed her shirt then slipped it on. She then grabbed her jeans and she stepped into them. She pulled one of her belts out and stuck through each hole on her jeans. She adjusted the belt to the correct tightness. She grabbed her jacket and stuck her arms through each sleeve. She walked into the bathroom. She grabbed her comb and she started to comb her hair. She also grabbed her black nail polish and painted each nail. She then walked back into her room and over to her hat rack. She decided on her black fedora with the grey band around it (AN: You know, like Michael Jackson used to wear?) She grabbed it and put it on her head. She walked over to the doorway where Betsy's doggy bed was. "Alright Betsy, be honest." Yumi struck her signature hand on the hip pose. Betsy just stared at her. She gave Yumi that face that said 'I don't care bitch, just give me some food.' "You don't care, do you?" Betsy kept staring at her. "I guess I'll just have to ask Aelita." Yumi walked over to her shoe shelf and pulled out her red, low top, converse. (AN: I love converse but my mom doesn't like me wearing them cause they have no arch support.) She then grabbed a pair of black low cut socks and put them on. She then continued to put her shoes. She walked over to her night stand and unplugged her phone. She also grabbed her wallet. She stuck her phone in her left pocket and her wallet in her right pocket. She walked out her room and into the living room/kitchen. "Aelita?" Yumi yelled through the apartment. Yumi then saw a note on the fridge. 'Went to get some coffee, see you at the talent show.' "Hmm. Ok." Yumi opened the door and walked out of it.

Yumi walked into the coffee shop around 5:25. "Yumi!" She heard Aelita yell. She saw her and Jeremy sitting at a table right in front of the stage. She walked over to them and sat down. "Wow, Yumi. I like this new style of yours."

"Thanks." Yumi looked at her watch and saw it was only 5:30. "Hey guys, I'll be right back." The talent show started at 6:00 so she had some time to get a quick snack.

"Ok." Yumi got up and walked over to the front counter.

"Hi, welcome to the Eastside Café. What can I get you?"

"Yes can I get a tall vanilla bean frappuccino." (AN: That's the drink I get every time I go to Starbucks. It's so good.)

"Ok, and would you like anything else?"

"Yes, can I get a chocolate chip muffin and a lemon poppy seed muffin."

"Alright, your total is $7.25." Yumi reached into her wallet and pulled out debit card. She swiped the card and put in her four digit passcode. The cashier reached behind the counter and pulled out two gloves along with two small bags. She put them both on then opened the pastry box. She then pulled out two large muffins and then put them in individual bags. "Here are your muffins and I'm about to make your drink."

"Thank you." The cashier disappeared into the kitchen. She came back a few minutes later with her drink.

"Here you go, enjoy." Yumi took her drink and returned to the table. She stuck her straw in her drink then took a sip.

"Hey guys." Said Ulrich turning to Yumi. "Hey, beautiful."

"Hey, cutie." Yumi said kissing him. "I got you a lemon poppy seed muffin." Yumi handed him his muffin.

"Thanks." Ulrich took out his muffin a ripped off a large piece of it. He then stuck it in his mouth.

Yumi took another sip of her drink and then ripped off a piece of her chocolate chip muffin. Just then, the announcer walked onto the stage.

"Hi, welcome to the Eastside Café's, annual, local talent show." The crowd cheered. "I'm Kevin, and I'll be your announcer tonight." Kevin then reached into his back pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Alright, it looks like our first act of the night is dancing of Morgan Vaughn." The announcer then walked off the stage.

"Hey, this girl's on my gymnastics team." The lights dimmed and the music started to play. Then, a girl walked onto the stage and started dancing to the music. Her dance routine was a mixture of hip-hop moves, ballet spins, and flips. She then ended her routine with doing a back hand spring and landing in perfect split. The crowd cheered. "Wooo. Go Morgan."

Talent show dragged on for two whole hours. Some acts were impressive and seemed well rehearsed. Others were just hard to watch. One of the worst ones was Sissy's. She was up there for three whole minutes, dancing seductively trying to get Ulrich aroused. The crowd cheered when the guards finally dragged her off the stage. Kevin walked back onto the stage and grabbed the microphone.

"Alright, that last act was… was…. I don't know what that was." The crowd laughed. "Let's give Sissy Delmas a hand." No one did anything. "Nothing? I don't blame you." Kevin looked on his sheet a saw the name "Alright, our last act of night is the singing of Ulrich Stern and Yumi Ishiyama."

Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, Nicholas, Jonny, and Theo (AN: So many names.) were back stage getting ready to perform. Yumi turned to Ulrich. "Alright, how do I look?"

"Amazing." Ulrich said. "What about me?" Ulrich was a black button up shirt that was un-tucked with the sleeves rolled with a red tie, black skinny jeans, and black converse. Yumi grabbed his tie and adjusted it. She put some of his bangs in his face.

"Perfect."

"Alright, our last act of night is the singing of Ulrich Stern and Yumi Ishiyama."

"You ready to rock the house Yumes?" asked Ulrich.

"Yeah." The band walked onto the stage and took their positions. Ulrich picked up his guitar and put his capo on the first frets. Nicholas twirled his drum sticks in the air and then raised them in a cross position.

"One, two, three, four." Nicholas said as banged his drum sticks together. The band started to play there instruments (AN: For the people who don't know this song, all the heys, the whole band is yelling together.)

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"I don't like walking around this old and empty house." Yumi sang.

"So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear." Ulrich sang.

"The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake."

"It's the house telling you to close your eyes."

"And some days I can't even dress myself."

"It's killing me to see you this way."

"Cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore." They sang together.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back." Yumi sang

"Well tell her that I miss our little talks." Ulrich sang

"Soon it will be over and buried with our past."

"We used to play outside when we were young. And full of life and full of love."

"Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right."

"Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear."

"Cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

"Hey!"

"Don't listen to a word I say." Ulrich and Yumi sang together.

"Hey!"

"The screams all sound the same."

"Hey!"

"Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

The music slowed down.

"You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear. All that's left is the ghost of you. Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do. just let me go we'll meet again soon." The music came back in. "Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around. I'll see you when I fall asleep."

"Hey!"

"Don't listen to a word I say."

"Hey!"

"The screams all sound the same."

"Hey!"

"Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

"Hey!"

"Don't listen to a word I say."

"Hey!"

"The screams all sound the same."

"Hey!"

"Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

"Though the truth may vary, This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."

"Though the truth may vary, This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore." Ulrich and Yumi finished facing each other. The crowd then cheered.

"See, babe. I told you you could do it."

"I never doubted you a second."

Alright, that it for this chapter.

'Little Talks' is one my favorite songs so that's why I picked it.
