Yumi's p.o.v.
I rolled my eyes after listening to the story of Ulrich's encounter with Sissy that afternoon. "I don't get something about you, Ulrich. You always take her so seriously."
"I just wish she'd stop bugging me," he said. "I mean, ugh, god, it seems like I can't go five minutes without seeing her stupid face..."
"Still, I'd say you need to loosen up a little bit. Stop treating everything like it's a biblical sign of the apocalypse," I laughed.
Ulrich and I were in the forest, sitting on the grass and talking. The birds here are kind of loud, but it's very peaceful aside from that. It's just a good place to be.
"I just want her out of my life," Ulrich said. "Besides, it's not like the world would be missing much if she wasn't around."
We both giggled ... even though the joke might be considered in bad taste to those who didn't know Sissy like we did, and didn't know how horrible the girl really is. But the fact that our jokes were bad just made us enjoy them even more.
I loved doing this. Just sitting around and talking. Ulrich and I always get into these really great conversations. We talk about everything together, and it's a lot of fun.
The sun was beginning to set. Through the trees you could see the bright sun glittering as it started to sink. We were both quite content.
He sat closer to me.
"Yumi, I want you to know something," he began.
"Yes?"
"Yumi, I... I just wanted to tell you that I..."
My call phone rang. "Oh, damn, sorry Ulrich, just a second."
I answered my phone. "Hello?"
It was Jeremie. "Yumi... I think you and Ulrich should come to the factory... something's wrong in Lyoko."
"We'll be right there," I said.
