A/N: Thank you to all of my great reviewers! I really appreciate it a lot that you all took the time to review my story! Sorry it took so long to update! Hope you like it!
Suki-sei - lol! I tried to make it pretty long! = )
dbzgal99 - well they didn't kiss in that chapter but there are more chapters to come . . .
"Jeremy!?!" Aelita screamed.
"What is it Aelita?" Jeremy asked worriedly.
"I . . . I don't really know. Something's wrong with . . . with Lyoko, Jeremy! I don't know what happened! I was just inside a tower, and when I came out, there were more holes in the ground then usual!"
"What?!?"
"Holes have just been . . . appearing in Lyoko for some reason!"
"Ok, Aelita! Calm down! I'll go to the factory right now and check to see if there is anything wrong with Lyoko ok?"
"Yes, Jeremy."
"Just be careful and stay away from the appearing holes ok?"
"Ok, Jeremy. Thank you."
The bell for class rang. Yumi and Ulrich let go of each other."
"I'll see you later, Yumi."
"Ok, Ulrich."
"Bye."
"Ulrich?"
"Yes?"
"I love you." Yumi said smiling.
"I love you too." Ulrich said smiling back.
Ms. Hertz's class
Odd sat in his chair waiting for Ulrich to get there. When Ulrich finally came in, he had a big smile on his face.
"Hey Ulrich!"
"Oh! Hi Odd!" Ulrich said seeming to come out of a trance.
"What was wrong with, Yumi?
"Oh it was nothing."
"Why did you just leave her in the dorm?"
"I don't know."
"Why are you all spaced out right now?"
"Huh? Oh! No reason. Why do you keep asking me all these questions?"
"Well you kinda left Yumi in our dorm all spaced out and she wouldn't talk to me, you ditched me and just now come in class right before Ms. Hertz is about to start teaching – which is any second by the way, you are all spaced out like something major happened, you have a really big smile on your face, and you are suppose to be my friend! I think something's wrong . . . or right. I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. Don't you think those are good enough reasons?"
"Sure . . ."
"Then what happened?"
"I'll tell you later."
"When?"
"After school."
"That long?"
"Do you want me to tell you or not?"
"Yeah. Fine. I guess I'll wait until after school if I have to. . ."
"I'll tell you after school ok?"
"Ok class! Settle down! Let's get started! You've had plenty of time to talk amongst yourselves!" Ms. Hertz said trying to get her class to settle down so she could start teaching.
"Ok." Odd whispered responding to Ulrich's question.
In the classroom Yumi's in
Yumi's POV
As I sat in math class, waiting for the bell to ring, all I could think about was Ulrich. 'He actually told me he loved me! Plus, he knows I love him too! Today has been a great day so far! Math has been going by so slow today!' Finally the bell rang meaning math was over, it was worth the wait.
Normal POV
"Hey, Ulrich! What are you doing here?" Yumi asked as she walked out of the classroom.
"Well, I . . . um . . . was wondering if . . . you would like me . . . or someone . . . to . . . walk with." Ulrich said nervously. He smiled at Yumi.
"I'd like that." Yumi said smiling back.
Yumi and Ulrich started to walk side - by – side. Yumi blushed as she grabbed Ulrich's hand. Ulrich was surprised at first but then he just smiled When they got to Yumi's next classroom, Ulrich let go of Yumi's hand and was about to walk off.
"Thanks for walking me Ulrich."
Ulrich smiled at Yumi as if to say your welcome. Yumi gave Ulrich a quick kiss on his cheek and quickly went inside her classroom.
At the factory
"Aelita? Are you there still?"
"Yes, Jeremy. I'm still here."
"I can't seem to figure out why these holes keep appearing in Lyoko. Do you think this is X.A.N.A.'s doing?" Jeremy asked confused
"I don't know, Jeremy. It could be. More holes have appeared in Lyoko since we last talked Jeremy. This could be serious. I haven't sensed any pulsations recently, but I could go look for any activated towers if you would like."
"Go ahead, Aelita. You go look for any activated towers. Contact me if you find anything ok Aelita?"
"I will, but where are you going?"
"Well, I've already missed one class today! I can say I was at the infirmary for that class but not for two! After class is lunch. I can check things out more then on my computer in my dorm. I have to leave now Aelita. Please be careful ok?"
"I will Jeremy and I'll tell you if I find anything unusual."
Back at school
As Ulrich started to go to his next class after walking Yumi, Odd found him.
"There you are Ulrich! I've been looking for you! You left class so quickly that I couldn't keep up with you! I mean I can understand why you would want to leave Ms. Hertz's class so quickly . . . so where did you go exactly?"
Ulrich stopped walking and smiled remembering walking Yumi, holding her hand, and getting kissed on the cheek.
"Oh great! Not Mr. Secretive again! Come on Ulrich! You can tell me anything . . . everything! Just tell me something!" Odd said standing there with Ulrich.
"I told you I would tell you everything when we get back to our dorm after school! " Ulrich said getting annoyed by Odd's persistence.
"Why not at lunch?"
"Do you want to know or not?"
"I do want to know! Why do you keep asking me that?"
"If you want to know, then you're just going to have to until after school! Besides – you'll be too busy at lunch to hear anything I say anyway! Plus . . ." 'I'll be too busy thinking about Yumi to tell you the story straight!'
"Plus what?"
"Plus there are too many people around at lunch!" 'Good save!'
"So you're saying you don't want certain people to hear it?"
"Maybe . . ."
"Fine! I'll wait until after school if I have to, but then you have to tell me though!"
"Yeah, yeah . . ."
"Hey guys!" Jeremy said as he walked up to Odd and Ulrich.
"And where have you been? Talking to Aelita again I suppose. Hmm?"
"Yeah . . ." Jeremy said blushing. "Something seemed to be wrong with Lyoko so I was checking it out at the factory."
"What's wrong with Lyoko?" Ulrich asked seriously.
"Yeah. What's wrong, Jeremy? Did Aelita trip and fall and you were worried?" Odd asked on the verge of laughing.
Jeremy blushed dark red and Odd started cracking up.
"Shut up Odd! This could be serious! What is it Jeremy?"
"Well, it's nothing too serious at the moment. Holes keep appearing in Lyoko for reason that I figure out, but I'll have to worry about it later because – if you forgot – we have class right now." Jeremy said as he started to walk to class.
"Wait Jeremy! So , you don't think it's that serious right?" Ulrich asked taking the situation quite serious unlike Odd.
"Well I don't really know how serious it is at the moment. I had to leave the factory before I could figure out how and why the holes are being made. Aelita said she would check to see if there are any activated towers while I went to class. I told her to contact me if she found anything unusual though." Jeremy said.
"Or for any other reason too!" Odd said laughing at his comment.
"Odd! Can't you take this situation even a little serious for once instead of trying to embarrass someone? This could be serious Odd! Lyoko and Aelita might be in trouble!" Ulrich said getting very annoyed by Odd.
"But it's so fun – not to mention easy!" Odd said almost falling on the ground in laughter.
Ulrich rolled his eyes and the three walked into class right before it was about to start.
