Chappy 9 was such a fiasco. Gosh I hope it doesn't happen to this chappy. I tried to make it longer for you guys, but I'm not sure if it'll be long enough. Knowing some of you it should go on forever! - And I've decided NOT to do a sequel to this at all. If anyone wants to do one email me and I think I'd let you. On the other hand, I WILL be starting a different Code Lyoko story, but it won't be AU. I'll be trying my hand in drama and sappiness. –Suki

Chapter 10- Curtain Calls Never Last
Yumi sighed. She could feel tears well up in her eyes again. To any passerby it would look like some college buddies going their own way, and that's somewhat how Yumi felt about the situation. The diamond bricks had been sold to a man in Germany and it was time to say goodbye.
Ulrich was going to Australia; he'd announced that in the car. Aelita, Jeremie, and Odd had all bought tickets, but Yumi had no idea where they were going. She had gotten a ticket as well, but she was afraid of what it meant.
"Boarding Call for flight 621 to Australia. All passengers may begin boarding," the PA told all the waiting passengers.
"Well," Ulrich gave a sad smile. "I guess this is goodbye."
"Wait!" Odd said. "It's not goodbye for me! I'm coming with. You need a little humor, don't you? Besides, who's going to clean your house?"
"Okay, Odd. I'd be glad to have a funny maid," Ulrich told him, and Odd walked over to stand by Ulrich.
"I'm coming, too," Jeremie announced. "You need a genius no matter what your occupation is. Besides Australia has awesome technology."
"And me," Aelita said, taking Jeremie's hand. "Someone needs to make sure you all eat properly. And well," she blushed slightly, "Jeremie did say something about a wedding."
"Really Aelita?" Jeremie asked his voice higher than usual. "Yeah!"
"Congratulations," Yumi smiled, her eyes were getting a little blurry. She knew water was leaking from them.
"What about you, Yumi?" Odd asked. "Where are you going to go?"
Yumi closed her eyes. In her mind she saw all of her new found friends. Over the period of three days, she had gotten to know them quite well. She'd seen them in party mode and the after effects of it. That heist had shown a new side of them as well. They were like her family, something she hadn't had in a long time.
"Yumi?" Aelita asked, waving her hand in front of Yumi.
Yumi walked over to Ulrich and slipped her hand into his. Ulrich instinctively looked at Yumi's right hand. It had a beautiful ring on the ring finger; that shimmered in the sunlight. He smiled.
"I'm coming as well. Someone needs to keep you all in check. Besides I think Ulrich would like kids calling him Poppa, someday," Yumi smiled, and squeezed Ulrich's hand.
"Is that a yes, then?" Ulrich asked.
"Wasn't what I said easy enough to understand?" Yumi teased.
"Obviously not," Ulrich replied.
"Yes, it's a yes," Yumi kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey you two, let's get on the plane. Enough PDA already," Odd complained, breaking the love birds up.
"Whatever," Ulrich rolled his eyes and they made their way to the boarding area.
"Hey wait!!!" a voice called, from across the airport terminal.
"Oh no," Yumi turned around to see Sissi running towards them. In her hand was a piece of paper that she was waving like a white flag.
"Please?" Sissi huffed as she reached the group. "I want to come, too."
"No," Ulrich told her. "Leave us alone," he walked up to her and looked as though he was going to slap her.
"Wait Ulrich!" Yumi grabbed his hand. "Sissi what are you doing here?"
"I want to come, too," Sissi started to sob. "I hate my job, my boss is in love with me, and the only reason I hated you was because you took Ulrich away from me."
"But how can we trust you?" Yumi asked, she was loosening her grip on Ulrich's hand.
"I don't know. You have no reason to trust me," Sissi sobbed harder. "I don't even like Ulrich like that."
"What?" Ulrich and Yumi were both taken aback.
"Then why do you want to come along?" Ulrich asked her, letting his hand drop to his side.
"To be with Odd," Sissi blushed.
"Me?" Odd became just as shocked as the rest of them.
"You. So can I come, please?"
The hot summer sun burned down upon the four kids playing in the Australian Outback. To them the game of hide and seek had never been so fun.
"Found 'ya, Keri!" a young blond boy called out. He was wearing a blue muscle shirt and khaki shorts. His hair was gelled back and he was the spitting image of his father, Jeremie.
"No fair, Chris!" Keri complained. Her style was like her parents in only one way, it too was weird. She wore a yellow tank top with a big monkey on it and a matching skirt. Underneath her skirt was a light pink pair of capris. Odd and Sissi were both proud of her fashion sense. As for her hair, it was a nice shade of black, with blond streaks here and there. Falling a little past her shoulders, it framed her face perfectly.
"Too bad. Where's Aaron?" Chris asked. A snicker answered his question. "Found you!"
"Meanie! You know I always laugh!" Aaron teased his brother. They were fraternal twins and you couldn't really tell. Aaron had a nice pinkish hair color that was pulled back into a small ponytail. He wore an old pair of jeans that had holes in the knees and a baggy green shirt.
"Why'd you think I say that?" Chris asked, scanning the area for his final target.
"Looking for me?" a female voice asked. The three turned around and we greet by a jet of freezing water.
"Aly!" the three angrily called. The girl laughed. She was as cute as her parents were. Her motto was "Cute couples make cute kids." Her long hair went past her knees, showing off her dark chocolate hair color. A red and black checkered dress was put on over a pair of jeans. Despite the heat, she wore this somewhat warm outfit. It bothered Yumi to no end.
"Sorry," she apologized. "My hand slipped," she lied and ran into the house; jumping over Kiwi, their small pet dog.
"No running in the house!" Aelita called out to Aly, and then noticed her sopping wet pursuers. "And you three stay out of the house until you dry!"
"Aw man. It's her fault mom," Aaron complained.
"She did it again?" Aelita rolled her eyes. "Aly! I'd lock your door and stay put!" she called.
"Does that mean we can go and get our revenge?" Chris asked.
"I supposed it would," Odd replied, coming up behind the three. Jeremie, Ulrich, and he had all been out at a business convention.
"Welcome home!" Yumi smiled, she was holding a cake pan in her hand.
"Who's birthday is it?" Ulrich asked.
"Sissi's," Odd replied.
"Oh," Ulrich grinned sheepishly.
"Hey! Stay away from my room!" Aly's voice echoed from upstairs.
The older people sighed. "I thought we came here for some peace," Ulrich complained.
"Isn't this peaceful?" Yumi asked, coming over and kissing him.
"It is now." (Music plays signaling the end)
Crash. "Hey that was MY door!"
:: the end ::
And there's the end of our story. I enjoyed writing about their kids. Their supposed to be 7 or 8 about then. Anyway check my profile for any new stories and such during the next week or two. I should have a new story running by that time. Thanks to EVERYONE who reviewed. I really appreciated it; reviews kept me into this story. Like the title says, Curtain calls never last, so until next time!
