Author's Note:Now to honor dantheman7777's interest. Yumi and Ulreck at the community pool. This probably won't be a long chapter, due to the fact that I cannot write romance scenes worth a crap. Also, the first meeting of Infection will appear soon and I also plan to give my view on the technical aspects of Lyoko. I have found a great way of dealing with writer's block. A labyrinth. What is it? See the end.

Down at the community pool Yumi and Ulreck were having a relaxing time. No matter how hard you tried to say it was a date, they would vigorously deny it. It was simply a way to beat the heat.
At the current moment, Yumi was lying down sideways next to the pool with her head propped up by her arm. She was wearing a two-piece bathing suit that was not quite a bikini, though it did make Ulreck glad she was his girlfriend.
"You know," Ulreck remarked, "you should become a model." Ulreck elected to relax in the pool and had his chin resting on his arm, which were on the rim of the pool.
Yumi smiled. "I don't know. Do you think I'd be good enough?"
Ulreck shook his head. "Are you kidding? You'd steal the show!"
"Yeah? Maybe I should…?"
"You become a model? You don't have a chance!"
Yumi and Ulreck looked over. Sissy was standing at Yumi's feet. She, unlike Yumi, was wearing a bikini. A sickening pink bikini with a (surprise!) red heart on the bathing top. Then, making sure to block Yumi's sun, sat in front of her face, deliberately, of course.
Ulreck rolled his eyes and lowered his arms into the water. "What do you want."
"Nothing. I just want to say hi."
"Yeah? Hi. Now go away."
Sissy ignored this. "You do realize that Yumi does not have the looks or personality to be a model."
Yumi piped up behind Sissy's back. "Yeah? And I suppose you do?"
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I do!"
Ulreck had enough. "I think your gonna need a towel."
Sissy looked at him quizzically. "Why? I'm not wet."
Ulreck smiled. "Yeah…." Then in one fluid motion, he kicked off the pool wall with his feet, swung his leg up out of the water, and completely soaked Sissy. Everyone who saw it erupted in laughter. "…now you are!"
Sissy stood up and went red in the face. If anyone had cared to take a closer look, they would have noticed that her face was drying the water. "Ohhhhhhh!" Was all she had to say and stormed off.
Yumi was sitting up clutching her side from laughing too hard. "That…. That was great!" She managed to gasp out. After she had calmed down, she got up. "it's getting late. Want to head back?"
Ulreck got out. "Yeah, okay."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
It should be noted, however, that Sissy accidentally caused the pool to be closed for a week. You see, as she stormed off, she bumped into a kid with an unwrapped Baby Ruth bar. In his surprise, he dropped the candy bar into the pool.
Needless to say, it was found again and slightly confused with something else.

Jason Cornell opened the door to Zack and his executive suite. They were at a luxurious five-star hotel that clearly must have cost a lot of money for a simple room.
As they looked around, they noticed, on the king-sized canopy bed, two shiny black laptops. Jason picked his up and opened it and a note fell out.
It simply said:
The East Side Docks.
Warehouse 86.
8:30 PM.
Tonight.
It seemed 'Master' acted fast.

Author's Note:That turned out better than I hoped. So then, stay tuned to the next chapter; it's the first meeting of Infection. Now then, what is a labyrinth?
It is not a maze or a puzzle. There is no right or wrong way to do it. The only rule: put one foot in front of the other. It is a right-brain activity, empty your mind. It is NOT religious; it is spiritual. It is a form of meditation. I know of some sites that explain better than I can. E-mail if interested.
See ya!
