Author's Note: So I made Sissi a bit more evil than in reality...but oh well, it fits my plot (and I think that she could really accomplish that). Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter!
They were sitting outside in the back gardens of the hotel the following morning, waiting for the group to get ready to go to the Faire. They were dressed in their outfits again and Odd was throwing a stick for Kiwi to fetch. "How was the movie?" Yumi asked, laying on a bench, her head resting on Ulrich's lap, and looking up at the sky.
"It was good, really funny," Jeremie said. Aelita nodded.
"I enjoyed it greatly. Was your night fun?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, what did you two do all alone?" Odd asked. He threw the stick again and it flew through the air, over a bush and Kiwi ran off after it.
"We ate dinner, talked, not much," Ulrich answered.
"It didn't look like talking when I went in," Aelita said, a confused look on her face.
"Really? What did it look like?" Odd asked, sitting up quickly, looking at them.
"Nothing Odd. Forget it," Yumi said, getting up quickly. The group of students was gathering around the exit and they hurriedly got into line. Jim walked by, doing a head-count before nodding at the principal. They were instantly on their way back to the Faire for their third day.
Cheers roared through the stands as the knights turned their horses so they were facing each other. The knights lifted their lances in acknowledgment before the horses charged at each other again. The lances alined and there was a large clang as they connected before the horses passed each other. Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Elizabeth, Jeremie, and Aelita sat back down along with the rest of the crowd.
"It's so violent," Aelita said, watching as the knights returned for a third try.
"I know, isn't it wonderful?" Odd asked. He yelled something at a knight, then took a bite of the hotdog in his hand.
"It's just for show Aelita, no one will really get hurt," Jeremie told her. She nodded and he held her hand, squeezing it gently. He smiled when he felt her return it.
"Yumi, you alright?" Ulrich asked, looking at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just...a little worried," she answered. At that moment there was a loud thump and half the stands cheered when they realized that a knight had finally fallen from the horse. "Do you really think they'll make me return home?"
"No. Not if we present a good case. That means no acting affectionate to each other though. And no mention of our being together," he answered. She nodded and they got up, walking down the stands.
"That was exciting! I'm starving!" Odd said enthusiastically as they walked through the Faire.
"You just ate! Don't you ever get full?" Elizabeth asked, laughing.
"Never! To be full...that would be my worst nightmare," Odd answered. He grinned. "Ice cream stand!"
They laughed, watching as he ran over, getting in line. "He's very funny...Is he seeing anyone?" she asked after a few seconds.
They exchanged looks and smiles. "No," Ulrich answered.
"Really? I would think that he is," Elizabeth said.
"Nope, not taken...yet," Jeremie replied. She nodded as Odd rejoined them.
"You didn't get us any?" Yumi asked.
"Didn't think of it," Odd answered. "Hey!" he protested when Elizabeth leaned over, taking a bite out of the ice cream. She just smiled and he shoved it up so that it caught her nose.
"Aren't they cute?" Jeremie asked, leaning over to speak to Yumi and Ulrich. They nodded, grinning.
"Hold on, my phone's ringing," Yumi said. She walked off to a group of trees and answered it.
"So what did you and Yumi do?" Jeremie asked.
"Like she said earlier. Nothing," Ulrich answered, blushing at the memory. A moment later she returned and Ulrich looked at her. "What's up?"
"That was my mom. They just arrived at the hotel. They were able to catch an early train and got here pretty fast..." she answered. They fell silent, thinking about it, Ulrich wrapping an arm around her waist.
Author's Note: Dun dun dun! So...she had less than two days... Review if you want a new chapter!
