Ulrich sat up from his bed and looked at the clock. It read 7.00pm. An hour before he would be meeting Yumi.
He looked at himself in his mirror and decided to change into something else. While he changed he did what he did most- think.
He was now Yumi's boyfriend. He couldn't believe it. He had wanted this so much that it was a shock to him that it had happened. Everything he had wanted in life he had never got but now he and Yumi were together. His dream of so many months had come true. He just couldn't believe it.
Ulrich was snapped out of his thoughts when Odd walked in the room.
"You ok buddy? He asked
"Yeah I sure am" Ulrich smiled
Odd smiled at his friend's happiness "we always said you two were perfect for each other"
"Who's we?" Ulrich enquired
"Oh me, Jeremie and Aelita"
"Oh so what else do you say behind our backs?"
"Nothing we just always said that we wished that you guys would hurry it up and get together"
"Oh" Ulrich looked at himself in his mirror again. This time he was wearing a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt that showed that his workout worked.
"Well I've got to go" Ulrich checked his pockets making sue he had money on him as well as his mobile. "Date with Yumi"
"Aww his first date with Yumi" Odd teased.
Ulrich chucked a pillow at him
"You nervous?"
Ulrich nodded
"Well see you later then" Ulrich said opening the door and grabbing his jacket.
Ulrich got to Yumi's house at 7:45pm he had walked a slow walk towards her house but he was till early.
Sighing he sat down on the curb. He didn't think that Yumi would be ready yet so he just sat it out waiting for 8pm to come around.
Yumi looked out of her window not expecting to see much but was shocked when she saw Ulrich sitting on the curb.
She smiled.
She ran downstairs and went to grab her jacket but thought better of it. If she got cold Ulrich would give her his he'd done it before when they weren't dating so he'd do it when they were dating right?
Yumi walked out of her door silently and sat next to Ulrich.
Ulrich jumped slightly
"Sorry" Yumi muttered
"Don't be silly I was just thinking that's all."
Ulrich noticed that Yumi was wearing a black mini skirt with a black shirt with a skull on it. She looked gorgeous as usual.
"What about?"
"This" Ulrich leaned towards Yumi and kissed gently.
When they parted Yumi blushed. Ulrich noticed this and smiled
"You didn't seem shy when we in front of the whole school kissing" Ulrich laughed
That made Yumi laughed "I guess not"
Ulrich stood up and offered a helping hand to Yumi. She took it and pulled herself up, not letting go of each other's hand they walked out of her street.
"So where are we going?" Yumi asked after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"Um I was thinking of going to the 24/7 café and then a walk around the park?" Ulrich replied
"Sounds good to me"
"I know its nothing special but there's nothing to do round here at this time"
"Ulrich, no matter what we were going to do tonight would have been special to me, want to know why?"
Ulrich nodded.
"'coz we're doing it together Ulrich you have no idea how long I have wanted to do this with you, go out, kiss you, have a right to look at you without people questioning it and be your girlfriend"
Ulrich smiled and kissed her. He looked up and realised that they had arrived at the café.
They sat down in a corner and ordered two strawberry milkshakes.
"Do you want any food lovebirds?" the waitress smirked.
"I wouldn't mind having some fries, Ulrich?" Yumi said
"Yeah me too,"
"It'll be right over sweeties" the waitress said
Once the food had been brought over a comfortable silence fell on the two.
After they ate their food they started a quiet walk over to the park.
Yumi rested her head on Ulrich's shoulder while Ulrich put his arm around her waist.
"Do you want to sit for a while?" Yumi asked
"Sure"
They sat down on a bench and Yumi cuddled up to Ulrich
"Question: what would you do if Sissy came along now?" Yumi asked
"Answer: This" He bent down and started to French Yumi, their tongues were in battle. Yumi slid onto Ulrich's lap not stopping their tongue's battle.
After a while they stopped and just enjoyed each other's company. Yumi still on Ulrich's lap but her head was leaning on his shoulder. His arms were wrapped around her.
"I brought something that would make us remember this moment" Yumi spoke up pulling a digital camera out of her bag "It doesn't matter that is dark as I can brighten up the scene on my computer and I'll print off two one for each of us."
"Cool" Ulrich smiled and looked around he saw the waitress that they had met at 24/7 walking along their path. "Excuse me could you take a photo for us please?" Ulrich asked politely
"Of course I will" she said brightly taking the camera off Yumi
Yumi, still on Ulrich's lap, wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck and Ulrich wrapped is arms tighter around Yumi
"Now, Smile!" the waitress exclaimed as she took the picture
"Thanks a lot miss" Ulrich said
"Yeah thanks it means a lot to us for helping us out"
"No problem dears anything for young love"
With that she walked away from the scene.
"Well we'd better be going ourselves with our curfews and everything" Ulrich sighed.
"Yeah I guess so" Yumi sighed back
When they had got to Yumi's house she had rushed inside telling Ulrich to stay there. He did what he was told and waited.
She re-appeared 5 minutes later with a copy of the photo in her hands
"Here" She said passing him the photo. He looked at it and smiled; it had come out perfect and showed how close and happy the couple was
"Thanks, it looks great"
"It does doesn't it? Well you'd better be going to get back for curfew" Yumi sighed
"Yeah well goodnight Yumi" He spoke and kissed her on her lips.
"Goodnight Ulrich" she said and walked back into her empty house, her parents were away for the night at some friend's party. She lay down on her bed and went straight to sleep, dreaming of Ulrich.
Ulrich walked quietly into his dorm and was surprised to see Odd was still awake and even more surprised when he saw Jeremy and Aelita there all looking at him smiling.
"So how was it, Romeo?" Odd said
Ulrich didn't answer but walked over to his desk drawer and opened it where he found am empty frame he placed the photo inside it and placed the framed photo on his desk. He looked at it and smiled.
His friends joined him and looked at the photo
"That answer your question Odd?" Ulrich said
"Perfectly" Odd replied
Jeremy and Aelita said 'Goodnight' and left
Ulrich got into bed while Odd turned the light off and also got into bed
"So did both of you enjoy your date?" Odd asked
"Take a look at that photo, it should tell you everything"
Odd trying to be smart went over to Ulrich's desk and took the photo
"hmmm not everything, where did you go?"
Ulrich who had gone very tired very fast simply said:
"Look at the background"
"Oh the park and 24/7 café, good choice" Odd placed the photo back down and returned the photo to where it no belonged.
"So Yumi used her computer to put the café's sign onto the park's background?"
"Yup she sure did" Ulrich yawned
"Quite clever that one isn't she?"
"Yup she sure is" Ulrich yawned "Goodnight Odd"
"Goodnight Ulrich"
It didn't take Ulrich long to get to sleep, neither did it take long for Ulrich's dreams to be about Yumi and their perfect date.
