Last chapter! sobs But, I'm not gone forever, and neither are my code lyoko stories!
My new story was posted today, and is titled: The New Kids. It is a sequel to this, and Xavier will be back!
Ulrich then took Yumi back to the dorms. When they got to her dorm, she opened the door, but turned and faced Ulrich. "Yumi? I...well, I was wondering, if you want to go to the Christmas ball with me tomorrow? Even though we already know who's gonna be queen." He said. Yumi smiled. "Yes. I'd love to go. Pick me up here at 6." She said before waving to him. She then walked in to her room as soon as Ulrich walked away. Yumi walked into her dorm. Aelita stood there smiling. "So, how are you?" Aelita asked. "It is so good to be home, and have my whole soul intact" Yumi smiled and flopped onto her bed. They spent the night talking about what had happened in the past couple days.
At the ball
Ulrich went to get Yumi around 5:45. When she stepped out, he thought even radiant then she did when she was mad at him. He offered her arm, and she graciously took it. They walked to the ball. When they got there, they met up with Aelita and Jeremy. Odd and Ulrich did his hair again. People were dancing and talking happily. "And now, it's the time for the crowning of the queen!" Yumi smiled and Ulrich, and walked onto stage with Aelita. Millie and tamiya went through the whole speech about Ulrich being the escort, and then they began the crowning. Emily walked off, and then carly did. Aelita looked at Yumi, and once they said she came in third, she walked off quickly. Sissi glared at Yumi, and then attempted to kick her, but Yumi moved too quickly out of the way, and Sissi ended up falling off stage. "Well, it looks as if Sissi is getting too excited! And she should be..." Millie stopped as Sissi stood smiling, figuring that she won. "Because she is the Christmas queen-"Sissi screamed cutting Millie off. "Sissi, you are the runner-up. Yumi won!" Sissi then threw a hissy fit. Yumi smiled, put her special tiara on again, and then took Ulrich's hand. As odd, Jeremy and Aelita, watched them, they were all happy for them. "Well, I'm so glad that's over." Aelita said. "Yeah, they were definitely made for each other." Jeremy said. "Wait, I have an idea! It'll make them realize. They're both coming to Jeremy's room tomorrow for our little party, right?" Aelita nodded. "So here's what we do..."
Christmas day
"Yumi, are you almost ready, we were supposed to be there a half an hour ago." "I'm coming." Yumi said walking out. Aelita was wearing a red boat neck shirt, and a short red skirt. Yumi, who feeling a little cheerful, was wearing her usual black jeans, but instead of her usual black sweater, she wore a red tube top. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and on her left middle finger, she wore a ring with a tiny pink jewel heart. "What's that?" Aelita asked. "Oh, it's a promise ring. Ulrich gave it to me last night, promising that he'd always be there for me, as a friend. Well, according to him." She said; her head fell. Aelita saw the sad look on her face, as she walked out.
In Jeremy's room
"Jingle bells, Jim smells, Sissi laid an egg." Odd sang merrily. "odd, shut up." Ulrich said meanly. "Where are the girls?" Jeremy asked. He had mellowed, and apologized for everything he had said. There was a knock at the door. "Does that answer your question?" Odd opened the door. "Merry CHRISTMAS!!" Odd shouted. Aelita giggled, walked in and up to Jeremy. She then said "Merry Christmas," she said before kissing him. Yumi then walked in. "Yumi, I like the look." Odd said. Ulrich looked up, and he liked what he saw. She sat down, and smiled at him. Odd squealed saying that he wanted presents now. Yumi rolled her eyes. She picked out her present for odd, Jeremy and Ulrich. She gave Aelita her gift this morning, which was a sequined pink tank top. Aelita had given Yumi a new CD and a bunch of jelly bracelets. They began to pass out presents. Odd was laying in a pile of wrapping paper. He got a new video game from Yumi, a dog collar from Ulrich (for kiwi, not odd) a CD from Aelita, and a new bottle of hair gel from Jeremy. Jeremy got a new palm pilot from Yumi, a pair of contacts from Ulrich, a bunch of books from odd, and a new laptop from Aelita. Aelita got a pair of pink boots from odd, a CD player from Ulrich and a cell phone from Jeremy. Ulrich got a new soccer ball from odd, a math book from Jeremy (ha!) a Cell phone holder from Yumi, and money from Aelita. "Sorry," she said. "You were hard to shop for," Yumi then opened hers. She got a book from Jeremy, a new cell phone from odd, and a bracelet that matched her ring from Ulrich. They spent a few hours talking and laughing, but Yumi and Ulrich never really spoke. The other three smiled. When Yumi said, "I think I'm gonna go now," Odd said, "Ulrich will walk you there." "I will? Oh, I mean I will," Ulrich said not wanting to sound rude. Yumi thanked everyone, and opened the door. Ulrich followed her. "STOP!" Odd shouted. "What?" Yumi said confused. "Look above you," Jeremy said grinning. Yumi looked up, and saw her and Ulrich were standing under a sprig of mistletoe. "Go on," Aelita said. Ulrich bit his lip. "what do I do? Do I kiss her, what if I'm bad at it?" he thought. But he was pulled out of his thoughts, when Yumi put her arm around his neck, and kissed him, very deeply. The other three couldn't stop smiling. When they stopped, Ulrich smiled at Yumi as she began to walk away. "Thank you," he mouthed to odd as he shut the door. "Yumi, did you do that because you wanted to, or because of the stupid tradition?" Ulrich asked. She then smiled, and said, "both," before kissing him again. "Merry Christmas, Yumi," Ulrich said before kissing her.
Well, it's over. How was the ending? Tell me, and don't forget my new story.
