Review Answering Time!!!!!

This little part is dedicated to those great, great, readers out there!

Odd-Lover-4-Ever: Thanks! For! Your! Review! And, don't worry, I wouldn't think of hurting Odd! I think he's cool too, though Ulrich is my favorite as you can tell from this story!..I think? And also no, Odd will probably be single in this unless if you have an idea?

Raven's Wolf: Would it have mattered if it was a flame? I don't really know either to tell you the truth... I guess I'm just weird! I really hate Yumi/Jeremy as well. Yumi's emotions will become clearer later and there will be a few flashbacks to how this 'pairing' came to be. In the end, there's a good chance that Yumi and Ulrich will finally get together but, I might put him with Sissy. Not to torture him or anything!

Trespasser: I'm updating, I'm updating! Just don't shoot!!!! ..Would you really shoot the author? Er...guess so, by your threat... Hehe...Put the gun down...

PetPetAngel: ..So, you're friends with Trespasser? And you like Jeremy/Yumi? That's a first! But there is some evidence there...Yes, I see why that could be an actual couple...yes...Oh, don't worry, I'm just rambling again! Sorry, I guess 'swapping spit' really doesn't sound too good, huh? Bow? I will not! {sees the gun} Er..maybe just this one time!

Even though I just updated, and I'm really lazy, I decided to put up the third chapter before I start school. Oh, yeah, before I forget, I want to have a little..poll, I guess. Just review and tell me which couple you want! Here's a few options...

-Ulrich/Yumi

-Ulrich/Sissy

-Ulrich/Aelita

-Jeremy/Yumi

-Jeremy/Aelita

-Odd/Yumi

These are only a few, if you have any others, great! This'll help in my decision of the end, so please, review and vote!

-Fanfic-

It was warm, that was the first thing Ulrich noticed as he started to regain conciousness.

Blinking open his eyes, he saw pink. Pink hair brushed against his face when he tried to sit up. His vision clearing, he glanced around. He was in the scanner room...locked in an embrace with Aelita...AELITA?! Eyes widening in shock, he glanced at her sleeping face.

She looked so beautiful.... coming back to his senses...he blushed. He didn't want to wake her, so he couldn't really move.

Where was Odd when you needed him? Sighing, Ulrich, moved his arms slightly, thinking that it wouldn't do him any good to keep laying there. Feeling Aelita twitch, he sighed again, this time in defeat. Why did she have to sleep for so long?

Footsteps reached Ulrich's ears, and the sound of the door sliding open followed.

"Oh, thank God, you're okay, I-..." Odd's eyes feeling like they would pop out, he stared. And stared..and stared. "Man, guess Aelita took the news pretty hard and latched onto you, huh?"

"Shut up! You're gonna wake her up!"

"Hello, Ulrich." Aelita's sleepy voice whispered into his ear.

"Wha?!" Jumping up in panic, Ulrich ran backwards, tripping over his feet. "A-Aelita! You're awake!"

Sitting up, she blinked. "Where am I?"

"You're in the real world now!" Odd, gave her a thumbs-up. "I thought I did something wrong in the scanning process, but I guess it was actually right! I was actually able to materialize Aelita! Jeremy's on the way over!"

"Jeremy's coming?" Amiling happily, she stood up before wobbling a little. "I guess I have to get used to walking in the real world.."

Sweatdropping, Odd nodded. "Guess so! How are you taking the news, Aelita?"

"Oh, great! I never expected to be out of Lyoko so soon..but I'm glad to be able to feel and smell!"

"No, I meant the news that Ulrich told you in Lyoko! He did..tell you..right?" Glancing over at Ulrich, he watched him waving his arms around and signalling no.

"Is there something wrong, Odd? You're a little pale! Strange, Ulrich was pale too in Lyoko! He was trying to tell me something and..Oh! You still haven't told me yet!" Looking over at Ulrich, a smile on her face.

"Er..." Grinding his teeth together, he took another step back. "Why doesn't Odd tell you!!!" Taking this as his opportunity, he ran towards the door.

"You chicken!!! Come back here! You have to tell her!"

Ulrich merely ran faster, skidding to a stop in front of the door, he punched in a few buttons and the door opened. Rushing through, he collided with somebody, sending them both flying.

"Ow.." Rubbing his head, Ulrich glanced down. Down onto the face of his love, Yumi.

"Ulrich...? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Blushing, he got off of her.

"Thanks.." Standing up, she walked back into the scanner room after Jeremy.

Ulrich was torn, go back in or go up and wait for them? Choosing the first, he grudgingly walked inside.

"Aelita!"

"Jeremy!"

The two embraced, Aelita not knowing about Yumi, and Jeremy because she was once the girl he thought about constantly.

Yumi watched them, seemingly to not be affected by their affection. That's when it hit her. She didn't feel jealousy towards them. Wasn't it normal to feel that? Maybe..no. Shaking her doubts away, she smiled. Plastering a fake one to cover her uneasiness.

Jeremy, releasing Aelita, went over to talk to Odd. Wondering how he was able to materialize her in a matter of hours, when he had been working on it for months.

Ulrich meanwhile had been thinking about the best way to tell Aelita and now, he knew. Walking up to her, he tapped her on the shoulder.

Swinging around to face him, Aelita smiled. "Yes, Ulrich?"

"Umm..I was wondering if you wanted to go and get some coffee with me." Scratching his head, he waited for her reply.

"Oh! Would this be a 'date?' "

"What?" Wide-eyed, he gawked at her.

"Well, Jeremy promised to go out on a 'date' with me when I materialized, he explained it as time spent between opposite genders!"

"Er...yeah, I guess if you wanted to, you could call it a date.." Choosing his words carefully, he glanced into Aelita's eyes. "We have a lot to talk about."

Confused, she nodded. "But, thank you, Ulrich." Hugging him, Ulrich blushed ten times redder.

"For what?"

"You were there when I materialized."

"Well, Odd was the one who actually did anything..."

"Yes, but thanks.." Leaning upwards, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Ulrich, if possible, turned even redder.

Yumi had watched the entire event and for some reason felt a pain in her heart when she saw the kiss. It couldn't be that..she actually liked Ulrich, right? No, that was impossible. She had Jeremy. She should be happy. But, she was jealous, not for Jeremy, but for Ulrich.

She watched them leave, and kept on smiling. That fake smile.

-Coffer Place-

Ulrich sipped his coffee, quietly contemplating what to say. Aelita sat across from him, staring at all the wonders of the real world.

"Aelita, I've stalled long enough. There's something I have to tell you...," Choosing his words carefully, he continued, " I realize that you have feelings for Jeremy but when somebody realizes that things aren't going anywhere, they move on. And I'm afraid to tell you that Jeremy has moved on...with Yumi."

"I don't understand."

"I guess not. In Lyoko, you never really worried about love, huh?"

"That's not why I'm confused."

"Then, why-"

"Why did Jeremy turn to Yumi? I've waited so long to come into this world and be with him, so why did he turn to her?"

"I...don't really know. I thought that he loved you and knew about my emotions for Yumi." Ulrich didn't know why he was telling all this to Aelita, it just felt...right.

"Ulrich..." Aelita's eyes shown with kindness and concern, reaching across the table she laid her hand on Ulrich's clenched one.

Relaxing a little, he smiled.

-Chapter Done-

Next chapter: Jeremy does some thinking and wants to break up with Yumi so he can be with Aelita. Meanwhile, Ulrich and Aelita are spending a lot of time together. Could romance be blooming for these two? A secret kiss beneath the moonlight is exchanged. Odd's plans of getting Ulrich back into happiness are ruined when Yumi confesses her feelings for him! A meddling Sissy is added to the love connections and Aelita wonders why everything has to be so confusing in matters of the heart!

Thank you for reading and please review! Don't forget the poll!

Bye-bye!
