Three days passed quickly. School had started again, and the usual classes resumed.

Mrs. Hertz announced, "Hope you all had a wonderful break. Please open your books to page 143. Notice the water molecules formation as..." The usual class lecture had begun.

"Hey Ulrich," whispered Odd, "what are you doing after school today?"

"Nothing much. Why?"

"I was thinking maybe we could hang out afterwards, maybe watch a movie, something I guess."
"Sounds like fun. Wanna invite Yumi and Jeremy too?"
"Sure, I don't mind. But haven't you noticed Jeremy? He's always flirting with Aelita. Never off that computer even for a minute!"

Ulrich answered back, "What's wrong with a little love? I'm sure you'll be in your own situation at one point or another, where you, too, cant stop thinking about her for even a second..." Ulrich's voice trailed off, not to mention so did his mind.

"Uhh...yeah...sure thing..." Odd said warily.

After class, everyone went back to their dorms. Odd told Ulrich he was a little busy and didn't want to be disturbed, so Ulrich decided to head on to Jeremy's room. When he got there, Yumi had already seated herself on the bed and was reading a magazine. Jeremy was at it again on the computer.

"Hey princess, how's it been?" Jeremy shyly asked Aelita.

"Not too shabby I guess. No movement from Xana has been detected." She replied.

"Well be careful out there. You never know when he could attack again...oh! Didn't see you there Ulrich. How's it been?"

"Fine, thanks. I just got kicked out of my own room again." Ulrich said solemnly.

"That's the second time he's done that. I wonder what he's up to." Jeremy said in question to Odd's behavior. Ulrich turned away from Jeremy for the moment and looked at Yumi. She looked very comfortably seated, with her shoes off and a pillow behind her. I wonder when I'll finally be able to tell her how I really feel...I wonder if she feels the same way as I do... Ulrich's thoughts were interrupted by Yumi.

"Ulrich? What're you looking at?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing."

Yumi's thoughts: Was he really looking at me? No, it couldn't be. Ulrich would never...he'd never feel that way...yeah...im sure of it.

Jeremy turned to them. "Alright you guys. What do you say to a short trip by Aelita?"

Yumi looked up. "Aelita? Right now?"

"Well yeah sure. Why not?"

Ulrich chimed in. "The last time she came into our world, Xana's monsters had come through as well."

"That's true Ulrich. But remember, the materialization program still works. She can just come visit for a while, and then go back. No harm done!" Jeremy was totally excited.

"Fine then. I guess having Aelita here for a bit won't hurt us. Let's head on to the factory." Yumi explained.
At the factory "Ready Aelita?" Jeremy had just finished making all the proper adjustments.

"I'm ready when you are, Jeremy."

Yumi, Odd and Ulrich waited at one of the scanners. Odd was reluctantly pulled out from his room and from "whatever he was doing".

"Materialization!" Jeremy had said.

A bright light flashed from behind one of the scanners. It opened, and Aelita was standing there, happy and wearing a smile.

"Oh! Its so nice to see you guys again! In person, that is."

Jeremy blushed. "So Aelita, are you up to seeing some new programs in my dorm? Uh, that is, they're in my dorm, they meaning the programs, and you could, uh, you know, come and I'd show them to you and..."

"That'd be wonderful Jeremy." Aelita replied. She too blushed a little.

"Looks like the lovebirds are at it again!" Yumi giggled. "Lets head on back to your room, we can stay there while Aelita and Jeremy catch up a bit."

Yumi, Ulrich and Odd headed on back to their rooms, while Jeremy led Aelita by the hand to his. As they left, no one noticed the flashing red signal now appearing on the computer screen.
