A/N: Thank you to all who reviewed me! I really appreciate it! Hope you all like this chapter!
"Hold on Odd! Here we come!" Yumi said running as fast as she could. "Odd! Take Aelita to the tower! We can hold off the crabs!"
"Okie dokie!" odd said as he turned to Aelita. "Come on Aelita! Let's go!" Aelita nods and they start running to the tower.
Yumi killed two of the crabs with one shot. Then Ulrich killed two of the crabs. Yumi killed another crab and Ulrich killed the last one. Since all the crabs were dead, Yumi decided to sit on a rock. Ulrich came and sat down by her.
Ulrich's POV
I think I blushed a little when I sat down by Yumi. I don't really care though. I just hope she didn't see me. Did I just see her blush? No! She didn't! Or did she? I don't know. I wonder what she's thinking about.
Yumi's POV
When Ulrich came and sat down by me, I couldn't help but think of something else that happened, or almost happened, in the desert region before. When we almost kissed. I blushed. I couldn't help it though. I hope he didn't see that! I've thought about that moment so many times since it happened. I wonder if he does too.
Normal POV
"Do Odd and Aelita need our help Jeremy?" Yumi asked trying not to think about Ulrich.
"No, Yumi. They're fine. They're almost at the tower and there are no monsters in sight."
"Ok Jeremy." Yumi replied partially disappointed.
"Is something wrong Yumi?" Jeremy asked curiously.
"No. Nothing's wrong, Jeremy. There's just nothing to do but wait until Aelita deactivates the tower! We already killed all of the crabs!" Yumi said laughing. Yumi put her hands down on the rock, one accidentally on top of Ulrich's. They both moved their hands quickly and blushed.
"Sorry Ulrich."
"It's ok Yumi."
". . ."
". . ."
"They sure are taking a long time aren't they?" Yumi said smiling trying to break the silence.
"Yeah, they are." Ulrich said also smiling.
'I wish he would tell me what's wrong. I'm just going to ask him'
"Ulrich?"
"Yes, Yumi?"
"Is something wrong?"
"What do you mean?" Ulrich asked confused.
"Well you've been acting really strange lately."
"Strange?" Ulrich asked, still confused.
"It seems like when I'm around you lately, you don't like yourself."
"I don't?" 'Oh great! Now I have to tell her.'
"No. You really don't. Is it because of X.A.N.A.?" Yumi asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just a little stressed." Ulrich lied.
"Oh. Are you going to be ok? Maybe you shouldn't come next time." Yumi said, still worried.
". . . Actually Yumi, that's not what's wrong." Ulrich said. 'Ok I can do this.'
"What's wrong Ulrich?" Yumi asked really worried. She scooted closer to him. "Are you ok?"
"No. I'm not."
"What's wrong?!?"
'I can do this.' "I have something I need to tell you Yumi . . . . . . . . . . ."
