At a quarter till six, Yumi finished brushing her hair. She was dressed in a black dress, the hem reaching an inch or two above her knees. She wore a pair of black sandals and quickly pinned her hair up with two black chopsticks, little white diamonds glittering on them. Aelita smiled at her, adjusting her burgundy dress, the clips in her hair shining. "You look good," she said.
"Thanks. So do you. You'll definitely make Jeremie speechless."
"Why would I want to do that?" Aelita asked, a confused look covering her face.
Yumi laughed, wrapping an arm around Aelita's shoulders. "It's a good thing. It means that he'll be really impressed," she explained.
"Oh, alright then. I'm sure that you'll 'make Ulrich speechless' too," she said, grinning. Yumi blushed as she smiled.
They met the guys at the elevator and sure enough, Ulrich and Jeremie were speechless. Odd laughed hysterically. "Better close your mouths, your likely to cause a huge drool puddle," he said. They glared at him and Ulrich smiled at Yumi.
"You look great," he said. She smiled and they all stepped into the elevator and headed downstairs. Once they reached the lobby, they followed a corridor that opened onto a glass enclosed room full of candles and tables that faced the gardens.
"Come on, lets find a table," Odd said. He led them to a table by the outer wall of glass and they sat down, looking over the menus provided.
"It's so beautiful," Aelita murmured, as she stared around the room.
"Yeah, it is," Jeremie agreed.
"Why do I have a feeling their not talking about the same thing?" Ulrich whispered to Yumi.
She giggled and smiled at him. "Maybe because she's looking at the room and he's looking at her?"
"That could be it. You really do look great," he said.
She blushed. "Thanks. A lot."
Odd closed the menu grinning. "Well, I know what I want to order - one of everything!" They all rolled their eyes and continued to talk, excited about the prospect of tomorrow.
"Oh, Ulrich dear, you look so handsome!"
They looked up to see Sissi standing over them in a pink, glittery dress that reached a little lower than mid-thigh. "Your father let you out in that?" Ulrich asked.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Yumi sitting next to Ulrich. "I know your just saying that to act cool around your friends. It's okay though. I know what you really feel, and I can wait. After all, Miss Yumi won't be around forever." She turned and walked away, sitting at another table, Herb and Nicholas joining her after a moment.
"What do you think she meant by that?" Odd asked.
"Who knows? Who cares?" Yumi asked. They ordered their food and chatted while they waited, then ate when it was delivered.
At exactly seven they were seated in the old theatre house down the street from the hotel. The nights performance was Romeo and Juliet. Jeremie and Odd laughed, nudging Ulrich and Yumi. Ulrich sighed. "You know what you did wasn't that funny. !" Ulrich told them.
"Sure it was. You heard the crowd," Odd answered. They fell silent as the play began, Yumi nestling herself into Ulrich's arms, her head resting on his shoulder. "This play is so deja-vue," Odd answered. They laughed quietly and fell silent again.
It was eleven when Ulrich dropped Yumi off at her door. "Good night Yumi, sleep tight," he said, kissing her softly. She smiled up at him.
"Good night Ulrich," she said before going into her room. She changed and crawled into bed, her mind replaying the phrase Sissi had said earlier: After all, Miss Yumi won't be around forever...
It was going to be a long night...
