A/N: Wooooo… So tired! What a great time for me to start writing this next part of the storrrrrrryyyyyy. Yayyyy -clap clap clap!- Well, here it goes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko… (but I wish every night I did Xx; )

"Xana is in the real world after all…" Ulrich grumbled, resting to the side of Yumi's hospital bed. Her mother had survived, just barely. He was worried, almost to the brink of a depression influenced breakdown. "I'm just so glad Yumi's alright."

Odd and Jeremie nodded, not sure how to comply with everything they had been hearing. Now knowing that Xana was not afraid to attack them there was much needed worry, which soon would lead to problems within the group. Yumi was still unconcious, her fight to survive was stablized once the doctors had their undivided attention upon her. Relief was poured down the spines of each member, but how long would that feeling last?

"We need to get to school.." Jeremie sighed, not knowing how his parents were going to appreciate hearing he had skipped off a day.

"The principal will understand, live a little, Einstein!" Odd grinned, hoping a little of his bright personality would brighten the mood. His attempted seemed worthless. "Geeze, guys..."

The room again fell into silence until a soft mumble was heard, followed by a short yip as Yumi shot directly into a seated position on her bed. An IV injected hand made it's way quickly to her chest, trying to calm her heavy breathing. A cold sweat mounted itself upon her brow, seeming to drain the color from her face.

"Y-yumi!" The boys cried in what could almost be known as unison, Ulrich's voice sticking out more then the others.

"You're alright, you're safe... We're here.." Such a soft and tender reply could woo any distress she was going through.

"I-I know... But, how's my mom?.."

"She's stable, she'll make it." Jeremie nodded, then smiled.

"Aren't you guys supposed to be in school?" Yumi now raised a brow, offering each boy a glance.

"Haha, please! Yumi! You sound like a mother!" Odd cackled and smirked, his usual happy-go-lucky self.

"The principal will understand.." Ulrich had rolled his eyes while he lightly shared the laughter with Odd, a smile overcomming his facial features. "We're... Uhm.. "

He then took his voice to a low whisper, leaning closer to Yumi's ear when he whispered. "I am so glad you're okay..."

Yumi blushed a soft shade of pink, but that hue soon turned a vibrant red once Ulrich had taken a hand into his. He laid her back down upon the bed, ignoring a chorus that his other two best friends had created.

Yumi and Ulllrich, sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-g!

No matter how elementary that song was, they sung it anyway. The group then ignited in a laughter that kept them going. At least, a laughter that kept them going at this moment in time.

It was a few days after when Yumi was released from the hospital, with occasional visits before and after school from her boys. It felt good to have someone there for her, always. To have three people, it felt even better. Still, debates filled her head. Should she go back to school, or will Ray just target her there? Ulrich said that he and Sissy have been gone as long as she was. What were they up to?

Little did the troup know, their next battle was to be somewhere else...

-Jeremie's room, 11 pm.-

"Aelita, I promise you... Soon, we'll get you out of that world."

"I know, Jeremie.. I can be patient." Her soft smile, Jeremie filled with butterflies each time he saw it.

"I know you can... But I don't think I-"

"Jeremie!" Aelita shook, her head spiraling around. "A-a tower has activated itself in a region close to mine... Get everyone together! This pulsation is very strong!"

"Aelita!" he shouted, then snapped out of his shock and began dialing the boys.

Ulrich must have had his earplugs in, but Odd was quick to answer.

"Right, we'll be on our way!" came his quick reply, followed by what sounded to be like a rough fall out of his bed.

Now a question really baffled Einstein... Should he call Yumi? She'd been through enough for this mission already, he thought. Yet, to his surprise, he then recieved a call from her himself.

"Yumi?"

"Save your breath, Einstein! There's something going on in the city by the factory... Don't ask how I got there, but... It looks like some of the creatures from Lyoko have come here!"

"That's not possible!" Jeremie again went into a shock, his hands starting to shake upon his keyboard.

"Jeremie, pull yourself together!" Yumi snapped, then sighed. "I'll call Odd and Ulrich to warn them, you worry about Aelita keeping out of harm's way. Okay Jeremie? When it's safe, we'll call you down to the factory..."

"A.." Jeremie paused, then released a sigh while closing his tear filled eyes. "A-alright.. But are you sure you are able to fight in your condition!"

A soft giggle sent a clueless expression across Jeremie's face, "Don't you worry about me. You know I'm fine. I'll get back in touch with you soon."

And with that Yumi hung up with Jeremie, quickly calling Ulrich.

"Yumi?" He questioned, hoping Einstein hadn't told her their recent discovery.

She sat crouched behind the factory wall, peering over the corner at the horde that gaurded the enterance. "Don't come in through the enterance, we have company there.."

"Is it Ray?"

"Worse.."

"What could be worse?.."

"Some of Xana's minions from Lyoko have somehow managed to appear in our world..."

"WHAT!" Faded behind Ulrich's voice, Yumi could make out the distinct pessimistic voice of Odd, wanting to know why Ulrich was so shocked. After Ulrich calmed down, ignoring Odd's cries, he softly spoke with Yumi again. "You find a place to hide yourself. I don't want you getting hu-"

But it seemed as if his directions had waited too long, Yumi was alreading engaged in a fight. With what weapon he had no clue, but through the sound on the cellphone the fight was going on in her favor.

"Hold on, Yumi! We'll be right there!"
