A/N: Hey, I'm so sorry about the long wait but I'm totally stuck. I also have a lot of homework. Thanks to all those wonderful reviews. They keep me going. Sorry if its short but I'm totally lost.
Disclaimer: Blah, blah, blah. You all know that I don't own Code Lyoko.
Normal P.OV.
"Virtualization!" Jeremie shouted. Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi once again felt that exhilarating feeling of being virtualized. They had met up at the factory to see what was going on. They wanted to help Aelita find the tower. They were in the forest region.
"Hello there," the pink-haired computer program waved them over when they got to Lyoko. "Come on, the pulsations are a few minutes away."
"Let's go then. Odd sure needs the work out after all that food he's eaten," Yumi said. Ulrich and Aelita laughed.
"Hey, that wasn't very nice," Odd said, but everyone else was already way ahead of him.
"There," Aelita said. "They have been like this for about an hour."
Sure enough, the red pulsations were pulsing in one place.(Are they really red? I haven't watched in forever.) They were in a crossing of two paths, steadily beating. There were no trees, boulders, or platforms nearby where the tower could be hiding.
"Jeremie, are there any platforms underneath this one?" Ulrich asked.
"No. There's nothing there. There's also nothing wrong with the program so it can't be hidden," the resident genius said. "Nothing has gone on in the real world yet. Do you guys think this could be a trick?"
"Why would X.A.N.A. want us to think that a tower is activated if none are?" Yumi asked.
"I don't know. What do you think Odd?" Ulrich said.
"Um, what should I think? I really have no idea. Maybe there's a different way to stop X.A.N.A.. Maybe you don't have to deactivate a tower," Odd suggested.
"Odd! That just might be it. Who knew you could be that smart?" Jeremie said.
"Not me," Odd replied. They all laughed.
"Jeremie, since we can't find a tower and have no idea what this other thing could be, we should let Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi be devirtualized," Aelita said.
"Good idea," Jeremie said. They divirtualized themselves and went back to the school while Jeremie stayed to talk to Aelita.
Ulrich POV(With Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi)
Back in Odd and my room we decided not to talk about Lyoko.
"I wonder what kind of tricks Sissi will try to play this year," Odd said absentmindedly.
"Gosh, I wish she would just leave me alone," I said, not really answering the question Odd asked. If Sissi would just leave me alone I would get to spend more time with Yumi. Sissi takes up too much time.
"We should trick her again and get her to leave you alone!" Odd said.
"Yeah, or find a way to get her in trouble with her daddy, the wonderful principle," I said.
"Or put gum in her hair."
"Or a spider in her room."(A/N: That would scare me so bad)
"Or a worm in her food."
Yumi had been quiet throughout our entire discussion on Sissi. She seemed to be thinking about something. "Hey Yumi, you okay?" I asked her.
Yumi looked startled. "Huh, oh yeah, I'm fine. I think I'll go to bed. See you guys tomorrow," she said. She stood up and walked out the door. I stared at her retreating form and continued staring at the door after she left.
"Ulrich and Yumi, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Odd sang, dancing around the room.
"Odd, would you shut up!" I yelled at him.
"Only if you admit that you're totally in love with Yumi," Odd said grinning.
"What? Where did yo-"
"Come on, Ulrich. Everyone knows you love her. Everyone except Yumi. I think you should tell her."
"What!? I can't tell her! What if she doesn't love me back!?"
"HA! I knew you would confess! Well, good night then," Odd said and climbed into his bed.
Fine. I guess Odd was right. I am in love with Yumi. There I said it. I love her. The question is: Does she love me? Gosh, I wish I knew the answer to that. Oh well, its not time to think about that now.
With that, I fell asleep thinking about the one perfect girl.
A/N: Well, I did it. I know it was short but I did my best. I wrote this while watching the Heat vs. Spurs game. Is anyone obsessed with basketball like I am? Anyway, R&R!!!! Thanks!!!!!
