"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"JEREMY!!!!!!"

"GAAAH!" Ulreck woke with a start. That was the third time this week he had that nightmare. A sharp pang of pain in his nose reminded him that it was the fourth. He fell asleep in the control room. They must have rewound time.

Deciding he had nothing better to do, that, and wanting to get away from Odd's snoring, he went to get him self a hot chocolate. He slipped on a robe, made sure the coast was clear, and headed to the machines. Thanking god that they were never turned off. 'Wait!' He thought to himself, 'Sissy will talk to me down there and want me to love her. Again.'

He continued, remembering the battle. 'Wonder if she remembers?'

That had been some battle. Sissy wasn't any pushover, either. They had fought viciously while Alieta and Odd confronted Xana. And judging by Odd's snores, it went ok.

When he reached the machine, he placed the correct change into it and got a hot chocolate. He heard a voice behind him. "Hello, Ulreck. Can't sleep?"

'Here we go...' Ulreck thought to himself as said, "sigh... Hello, Siss..." But he stopped short. He was face to face with not Sissy, but Yumi, still dressed in her normal attire.

"What? You think I'm Sissy? Ulreck, I'm hurt." She smiled a smile that made Ulreck feel very comfortable.

Ulreck began to blush at Yumi seeing him in his bathrobe. "Yumi! Uh, I, hello!"

"Alieta saw you come here and told me before time rewound. Getting out unnoticed wasn't that hard. Grandma was asleep at 10:00 PM."

Ulreck took a sip of his chocolate and nodded. He still wasn't happy with Xana's torturing of their parents. But he only chose Ulreck's, Yumi's, and Odd's. But they could understand. Jeremy was dead. That was their torture.

"C'mon, walk with me." And she began to walk toward the track. As she walked, she got serious for a moment. "There is... Uh... A true reason I came here so late."

Ulreck was intrigued. "Yeah?"

She stopped. "I... uh... I'm sorry for... for... hitting you..."

Ulreck couldn't help but giggle. "Ha, ha. That it? It's ok, Yumi, I forgive you. But I must say," he placed his hand on his beet red nose. "You really pack a punch!"

Yumi laughed and gave him a playful push. "Hey, I was mad, you know?"

"Your fists told me."

Yumi looked at him questionably. "Your not gonna let me live this down, are you?"

"Nope. That really hurt, you know."

Yumi put her arm on his shoulder. "Well... I know one way to get it to stop."

Ulreck looked at her with a skeptical smirk. "Yeah? What?"

Yumi looked at Ulreck for a short moment, then pulled his face toward hers and kissed him on the lips.

Ulreck's shocked expression soon gave way to a dreamy look in his eyes. He was clearly enjoying this, hypnotizing wasn't need, either.

After 5 seconds, they seemed longer to Ulreck, though, they broke apart. Ulreck still had a dreamy expression on his face and one wide grin.

"I love you, Ulreck..." she whispered in his ear.

"I... Uh... Huh, huh... Um..."

She left and very happy Ulreck in the track field and went home.

............................................................................................................

Not too far away, a lone set of eye scanned the schoolyard with binoculars. At the current moment, they were fixed on the kissing couple near the track. As the viewer watched the female walk away, a female voice spoke.

"It's about time..."

It was Alieta. She withdrew the binoculars she had found underneath Jeremy's bed and went to sleep.
