Ulrich paced his floor nervoulsy, back and forth, back and forth. Odd looked kind of annoyed with him.

"Look, why don't you just tell Yumi how you feel? And let me get some sleep!" Odd said, throwing his blanket over his body.

"That's the thing," Ulrich said, collapsing onto his bed.

"What, keeping me awake all night?" Odd asked, sitting up.

"Not that, Odd! If Yumi feels the same way about me..." Ulrich started, but Odd interrupted him.

"She does. Everyone except you two seems to know that!" Odd said, exasperated.

"Well, if she really does feel the same way, don't you think that's gonna make it even harder on her when she leaves?" Ulrich pointed out. Odd sighed.

"You're right, man. And there's already that guilt that she won't be able to help us help Aelita..I wish she didn't have to go." Odd said sadly. He then rolled over. "I'm gonna try to get some sleep. You should, too. Today was a hard day."

"Yeah, I know Odd." Ulrich sighed, and got into his bed. He turned off the lamp, the only source of light he had had a moment ago, and went to sleep.

She was there in his dream....no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't catch her. She was too fast..Yumi lead Ulrich down a long, winding hall. At the end, he finally was close enough to touch her. But the instant he reached out to touch her, she evaporated.

In a cold sweat, Ulrich sat up, breaking the illusion of the dream. He buried his face in his hands and started crying.

[The next day]

"What?! That's great news, why didn't you tell me Yumi was leaving sooner, Herb?" Sissy demanded, positively beaming.

"Well, I dunno..but she's leaving in less than three weeks. I thought your dad would tell you.." Herb said, pushing his glasses up.

"No, Daddy doesn't tell me too much about work anymore. But it looks like Ulrich is all mine now!" Sissy said, a devilish smile on her lips.

Herb frowned at that, but said nothing. After all, Sissy was way too interested in Ulrich to ever notice that Herb had a huge crush on her. So she would probably never know.

Yumi crossed the lawn and headed for her first class, only to have her path cut off. She looked up to see Ulrich.

"What is it? XANA hasn't attacked, has he?" Yumi asked, worried.

"No. It's not that, Yumi. I want to talk to you..after school's over today, all right?" Ulrich asked. "Promise me you'll meet me?"

"I promise, Ulrich. I'll see you after school. I don't wanna be late for class." Yumi walked into the building and into her next class. Ulrich sighed, and turned to head to his next class. He was nervous about talking to Yumi later. So nervous, the day seemed to fly by too fast for his liking. And then, in what seemed more like minutes than like hours, it was time. Time to tell her how he felt.
