Chapter 2: Ready yet?

Later. Time: 7:40 A.M

Yumi enters the living room, "Ulrich hi sorry to keep you waiting but you know us girls need to be prettied up." Yumi says. "Not a problem Yumi." Ulrich says in a voice of awe as he looks at Yumi, who is wearing a nice white shirt with no sleeves. "Wow you look nice Yumi." Ulrich breathes slowly out. "Ulrich you okay?" Yumi asks. "Fine Yumi." Ulrich says. "Now stand still, so I can take pictures." Mrs.Ishiyami says as she takes 2 pictures one for Yumi and the other for Ulrich. "Here don't lose it." Mrs.Ishiyami says as she hands Yumi a nice looking camera. "I won't." Yumi says. "I mean it Yumi that was a gift from your father, don't lose it." Mrs.Ishiyami says. "Oh okay mom." Yumi says.

Later at the High school gym's back parking lot

"Thanks mom." Yumi says to her mom who had just dropped them off. "Yeah thank you Mrs. Ishiyami." Ulrich says. "Your welcome you two, now behave Yumi, Ulrich." She commands. "Yes mom." Yumi says. They enter the gym, "Hi Yumi." Someone says, "You come here alone?" the person asks. "No Daisuke I'm here with Ulrich." Ulrich says. "Him? What's he have that I don't?" Daisuke asks. "Well he's nice and cute your just, well nice and annoying." Yumi says. "I am?" Daisuke asks, "Kayo-kun doesn't think that." Daisuke says. "Daisuke he's like you." Yumi says with a giggle. "Uhh." Is all Daisuke could say. Ulrich walks over, "Oh hi Daisuke." Ulrich says. Ulrich taps Yumi on the shoulder.

"Yumi we're late for math class." Ulrich says. "Math class?" Yumi says. "Yes we're late so we'd better hurry." Ulrich says as he runs ahead of Yumi. They reach they're class as the bell rings. Luckily the teacher's back is turned so Ulrich and Yumi sneak in to their seats. "Good morning." The teacher says as he turns around. "Good morning Mr. Hikayo." The class says. "Is everyone here; Daisuke? Here! Takiya? Ulrich, Yumi? "Here!" The teacher continues calling out names, "Good everyone's here." Mr. Hikayo says. The class goes fine all the way through. Later after the 2nd class bell rings, "Okay sayonara class." Mr. Hikayo says with a wave. Yumi gets up and begins walking out of the class, "Hey Yumi wait." Says someone. "Yeah? Oh... Daisuke... hi what can I help you with?" Yumi asks. "Wanna go out on a date tomorrow?" Daisuke asks. "What? Uh... no thanks I have something to do tomorrow." Yumi says. "Oh? What?" Daisuke asks. "Daisuke has anyone ever tolled you, you need to mind your own business." Yumi says as she continues walking towards the door.

"Yumi!" Shouts Ulrich. "Huh yeah Ulrich?" Yumi asks. "You wanna meet for lunch?" Ulrich asks. "Hmm? Sure Ulrich, sure I do." Yumi says.

Lunch time

"Yumi over here!" shouts someone. "Ulrich? Nope just Daisuke." Yumi says as she continues looking for Ulrich. "YUMI!" someone else shouts. "There he is." Yumi says as she walks over to where Ulrich is sitting. "Hey Yumi." Ulrich says. "So what do you have to eat?" Ulrich asks trying to make small talk. "Um... teriyaki chicken and rice." Yumi says, "You?" Yumi asks. "Remen chicken." Ulrich says. "Trade?" Yumi asks. "Sure." Ulrich says. Yumi and Ulrich switch lunches, "Your mom's a good cook Yumi." Ulrich says. "You too." Ulrich says. "Though I made the chicken." Ulrich says. "You did? Well then you're a good cook then." Yumi says. "Thanks." Yumi says with a smile. "Uh... Yumi you wanna... go with me on a date on Saturday?" Ulrich asks. "Is he asking me out on a date?" Yumi asks herself. "Yumi?" Ulrich asks.

"Hmm? Sure Ulrich, I'd love to." Yumi says. "Really?" Ulrich asks. "Ulrich I said, sure now if you want I can change my mind and go with uh...err... Daisuke." Yumi says with a happy smile. "Yes I'm going on a date with Ulrich." Yumi thinks. "Okay I'll pick you up at 8:00 then." Ulrich says. "Okay it's a date then." Ulrich says as they finish eating they're lunches. "Oh Ulrich call me please?" Yumi says. "Sure." Ulrich says.

At Daisuke's table

"WHAT!?! Yumi and Uldo going on a date!?!" Daisuke whines. "You should have asked her Daisuke." A friend of his says. "I did, but she said, she had something to do." Daisuke says. "Yeah like go on a date with Ulro." Daisuke says in a whiney voice. "Oh come on there are other fish in the sea." His friend says. "Yeah but only one Yumi." Daisuke says, "Man I hate Ulrich." Daisuke says in a choked voice.

Saturday- Yumi house

Yumi is pacing up and down, "When is he going to call me?" Yumi asks aloud. "Yumi please stop your pacing please dear." Her mother says. "Gomen ne Okaa- san I'm just worried he's not going to call." Yumi says. "Ore no kami, Yumi he's going to call you now stop pacing your acting like your father." Her mother says. The phone rings, "Is it him?" Yumi asks. "I don't know go answer and find out." Her mother says as she hands the phone to Yumi. "Thanks. Hello Ulrich?" Yumi asks. "Yup hi ya Yumi so why'd you want me to call?" Ulrich asks. "Just to talk." Yumi says. "Oh." Ulrich says. It is now quite on both ends as the two are thinking on what to talk about. "Ah I know, Hey Ulrich wanna go to Lyoko and see the others?" Yumi asks. "Is Jeremy even there?" Ulrich asks. "I think so." Yumi says. "Cool be right over just let me tell Od." Ulrich says as he puts down the phone to find Od, in the background, Yumi can hear Ulrich talking to Od, "Od I'm going to Yumi's and we're going to Lyoko okay?" Ulrich says. "Sure okay man?" Od says. "Okay." Ulrich says as he leaves and returns to pick up the phone again, "I'll be there in a moment." Ulrich says, "Just need to change." Ulrich says. "Okay bye." Yumi says as she hangs up the phone. "Now I need to change but what to wear?" Yumi asks herself. Yumi heads for the bathroom, showering quickly, she gets out and puts on light blue jeans and a white shirt,

"Okay that's good now to wait for Ulrich." Yumi says as she heads for the couch. The doorbell rings and Mrs.Ishiyami gets it. There it the door is Ulrich, wearing jeans and a green shirt. "Ready?" Ulrich asks as he holds out his arm to Yumi, with a blush Yumi takes Ulrich's hand in her's. "Yup." Yumi says. With this Ulrich and Yumi head for Lyoko.
