Chapter Two: Date with Destiny
As Ulrich was walking to Yumi's house to pick her up he say one major flaw in his plan. What if Yumi's parents would not let her go to see a movie with him? What if they wanted to know why he wanted to see a movie? What would he say? As the possible answers ran through his head he arrived at Yumi's house. And to his surprise she was waiting out front for him.
"Come on lets get going." says Yumi
"What is the rush?" asks Ulrich
"My parents want me home as soon as the movie is over." replies Yumi as she grabbed Ulrich and dragged him toward the movie theater
"But the movie does not start for about half an hour." says a confused Ulrich
"So this way we can get some ice cream on the way there." replies Yumi as the stop for a rest
The super calculator starts up again and the purple fog rises up from it shutting it down. The fog finds its way outside and infects a bird. Then the bird goes off into the city as if looking for something or someone.
Today has been a pretty good day for John, considering this is his first day in France, but then again barely has any bad days. He figured that he would go grab some ice cream and then catch a movie. Until he checks his wallet for money and finds out that he has no money left. He just shrugs it off and goes to see that movie anyway. But that was a bad decision as he was being attacked by a bird as soon as he got there.
"What the…what is with that… oh you have got to be kidding me," says John as he sees the bird swoop in to attack him, "What did I do wrong… today?" he asks himself as the bird gets closer. "Run away!" he screams as the bird begins to attack him.
As he dashes down the street at breakneck speed he bumps into a couple going to the movies. As he gets up to make his escape he sees that the bird is going after them now so he drags them into a nearby store.
"Didn't know they had killer birds in France. Oh, by the way name's is John." says John as he catches his breath
"Thanks I'm Ulrich and this is Yumi." replies Ulrich
"Yes thanks for getting us out of the way of that crazy bird." says Yumi
"Don't mention it. If you need anymore help feel free to call animal control instead of me because I don't have the time save people all day. Now see ya." says John as he walks away
"He's nice." says Ulrich sarcastically
"I wonder what could have happened to him to make him like this?" asks Yumi
"Who knows," replies Ulrich, "Now let's go see that movie."
"Ok." replies Yumi
As Yumi and Ulrich make their way to the theatre they meet up with John again.
"Oh joy it's you two. You need saving again because if you do go to the police and leave me out of it." says John
"For your information we are going to go see a movie." replies Ulrich angrily
"Oh, so you didn't come to shower me with gifts for saving you, what a shame!" replies John sarcastically
They both walk past each other as Yumi watches confused as to why Ulrich dislikes John. Well for a reason beside his attitude. But then shrugs it off and follows Ulrich into the movie theatre.
After the movie Ulrich walks Yumi home.
"That was a great movie Ulrich, thanks for taking me." says Yumi
"Yea I was scared senseless. It was great." replies Ulrich
"Well were here. Thanks for walking me home." says Yumi as she blushes a little
"It was nothing." replies Ulrich as he leans toward Yumi
As the lean towards each other Yumi's father open the door so they stop and just shake hands.
"See you tomorrow Ulrich." replies an embarrassed Yumi
Ulrich just turns around and waves good bye.
"Come on. Are you scared?" jeers a young pink haired girl
"Yea right, I'm not afraid of anything" says a young boy
"Then come on big brother, let's go inside that abandoned factory!" says the pink haired girl
"Ok, let's …watch out," yells her brother as she was captured, "let her go!"
At that moment the man who had grabbed her brother pulled out a gun and pointed it at his captive's head.
"If you don't leave and forget about this then she dies!" proclaims the kidnapper
The boy dropped to his knees and looked helplessly at the kidnapper and says: "You win, I give up".
"That is a good boy but someone is going to die today anyway!" yells the kidnapper gleefully
"No!" yells the boy
The kidnapper points his gun at the boy and the last thing the boy sees is a flash of light.
At that moment John wakes up in a cold sweat and mutters: "What is going on? Why do I keep having this dream?" Then John gets up and gets a glass of water. "What does this mean? Is it a forgotten memory? Or is it what might happen?" wonders John
"So how was your date with Yumi?" asks Odd as Ulrich walks into the room
"It was fine. We went to see a movie." replies Ulrich
"Did you give her a good night kiss?" asks Odd playfully
"That's none of your business Odd." replies Ulrich
"You do remember our deal right?" asks Odd
"Yes I remember." replies Ulrich wearily
"Well I told Jeremy and Aelita so your off the hook." replies Odd happily
"You what!" yells Ulrich
"Oh yea I told Sissy too." says Odd happily
"Who else did you tell?" asks Ulrich wearily
"Millie and Tamia and guess what they want to do a story for the school paper!" exclaims Odd
"I'll get you for this Odd." says Ulrich
"Don't worry I was joking about Millie and Tamia." says Odd
And with that Ulrich lies down on his bed and goes to sleep.
