Chapter 9: Alexandra

Yumi woke up at sun rise. Her eyes were barely open when she remembered the dance was tommorow, and Ulrich hadn't asked her yet. Yumi sighed as she sat up against the pillows. A bandage was around her chest. She put a hand against the cold window pane. Her breath was slow and steady. Everyone else in the school was asleep. Yumi stared in awe as the radiant colors or orange, red, and pink stained the sky. She loved the bright colors sometimes, though she did like dark colors, the lighter ones brightned her up a bit sometimes. She smiled slightly, today was her sister from Japan's birthday. Alexandra Yuna Uchida. She had dark brown hair, one brown eye and one blue, and was small for her age. Alex and Yumi had some good times together in Japan when Yumi went to visit her. Alex knew about Lyoko, but hadn't told a soul. And today she was going to be a year older than Yumi. Alex sort of looked like Yuna from Final fantasy, only younger and preetier. Yumi reached her hand over to the small table and grabbed a blank piece of paper and a pencil. She began to write an Happy birthday card. instead of calling Alex, Alex she called her Yuna.

Happy Birthday Yuna! Yumi wrote very carefully. She drew a cake, party hat, and streamers. On the inside she drew a japanese fan. And wrote a small letter to Alex. By time she was done Ulrich and the others walked in.

"Hey Yumi, watcha doing?" asked Odd seeing her write.

"Remember Yuna, or rather Alex, it's her birthday today!" said Yumi smiling. Ulrich smiled too. Jeremy and Aelita where talking to each other.

"Hey, Yumi want to go to the Dance with me?" Ulrich asked not the least bit of nervous.

"I'd love too!" she said. but heastitated. "It may be a bit hard to dance." she noted.

"So then we'll spend most of the time talking not dancing." Said Ulrich with a smile. Yumi nodded. Aelita and Jeremy turnened to the others.

"Me and Aelita are going to go around town." said Jeremy.

"Yes, Jeremy wants to show me even more!" exclaimed Aelita.

"Ok love birds." said Odd snikering at his own joke. Then they saw Sissy. Odd laughed."Ulrich dear the dance is coming up, would you take me?" asked Odd in a high pitched sissy voice. Odd turned around as Sissy walked up.

"Ulrich dear the dance is coming up," sissy was about to ask, but Ulrich cut her off.

"No Sissy deer, I will not go to the dance with you, I going with Yumi." sneered Ulrich. Sissy huffed and walked away. Everyone laughed.

"So, how are you feeling Yumi?" Ulrich asked.

"Fine, thank you for asking." Yumi replied. She started to stand up, and felt better then last time when she fell. "Someone want to come with me to mail this?" asked Yumi with a slight smile, the boys turned as she changed.

"sure." said Ulrich.

"I'd like to, put me and Emily are going somewhere." said Odd rushing off. Yumi smiled.

"It's just you and me. Come on, let's go." said Yumi licking the envelope and putting the letter in her pocket. Yumi and ulrich left the building hand in hand. Yumi laughed as she pulled Ulrich.

"Hey, come on give me break, you just got out of the imfirmary, you shouldn't be running." said Ulrich smiling.

"You just don't want to loose." said Yumi with a sly smile.

"Oh, yeah?" asked Ulrich.

"Yeah, what do you say?" asked Yumi.

"I say, I'm already halfway there!" said Ulrich and started running. Yumi ran, but not so fast that she would hurt herself. Yumi, of course beat Ulrich. She touched the mailbox lightly. Panting she smiled again.

Ulrich thought to himself, look at her smile she's so beautiful.

"Lyoko to Ulrich, hello?" she asked waving her hand in front of his face.

"Huh, oh sorry." he apoligized for zoning off.

"what where you staring at?" asked Yumi her eyes sparkled.

"Oh, nothing." said Ulrich as Yumi slipped the letter into the mailbox.

"Aw, come on you can tell me!" said Yumi gigling.

"Nope, I'm not telling you." Ulrich teased. Yumi chased him around the mailbox until they were both tired from running. They sat down on a bench.

"Fine, fine, I was staring at you." said Ulrich panting.

"Why?"Yumi asked breathing heavily.

"Because you're so beautiful." said Ulrich smiling. Yumi smiled. She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

"Come on we better get going back." said Yumi after breaking the kiss.

"Ok." Ulrich said taking Yumi's hand. They walked back. Then Aelita met up with them.

"I have a wonderful surprise for you Yumi!" said Aelita. Yumi and Ulrich followed Aelita. Yumi ran up to a dark brown haired girl.

"Yuna!" Yumi said happily. (Ok, here's what happened. In the end Yumi's parent's divoced. Yumi went with her mom who remarried. Yuna went with her dad who also remarried, it was a tough sepparation)

"Oh little sister! ohisashiburi! (long time no see in japanese)" exclaimed Yuna. "Forgive my japanese, I know english, but I' so used to speaking japanese." said Yuna bowing to Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy, Aelita and Emily. "Who is this?" Yuna asked pointing to Emily.

"Odd's girlfriend." laughed Yumi. Yuna laughed also.

"So, Odd's finnally got a girlfriend. Ah, Ulrich, my sister told me so much about you, the last time we met was only two years ago!" said Yuna. Ulrich and Yumi blushed.

"Aelita!, You must enjoy it here! Does Emily know?" asked Yuna smiling.

"Know what?" Emily asked.

"That...it is my birthday today!" said Yuna quickly covering.

"Oh, yes Odd told me!" said Emily.

"My my, Ulrich and Yumi, it was hito me bore? (love at first sight.) Hai?" asked Alex.

Again the two blushed.

"And jeremy, you and Aelita!" exclaimed Yuna excited. The other two blushed also.

"Has the love bug bitten you yet?" asked Yumi.

"Hai." said Yuna smiling and blushing.

"Oh, who is it? Is it John?" asked Yumi. Yuna nodded while blushing.

"The principal said I can attend the dance!" said Yuna.

"That's wonderful!" said Emily.

"The four of us can go shopping together."said Yumi laughing. The four girls left to the mall, and Alex drived. The three boys made no effort to really look good so they didn't go. The girls came back in three hours with three bags each.

"You boys will have to wait to see our dresses." said Emily smiling as they all met in Jeremy's room. Later everyone went to bed, and Alex slept on a make shift bed, with millions of irthday gifts, in Jeremy's room they had celebrated Yuna(alex)'s birthday. Everyone went to bed happier then happy.
