He kissed her lips gently whilst bringing her body closer to his. Her hands explored the body in front of her and as kissed her more passionately she moaned. He took her top off revealing her bra. She moved her chest to his and kissed his neck she moaned as she felt the warmness of him. She moved her lips to his and their tongues started battle . . .

Ring Ring

Yumi answered her mobile

"Hello?" She said annoyed that she had been disturbed yet again. "Oh now? No no it's ok yeah we'll be there we don't live that far away from there actually ok see you in a bit bye"

"Who was that?" Ulrich said sitting up next to Yumi

"Aelita, her and Jeremie want us to meet up with them at Streakes, the restaurant, they've phoned Odd and his on his way he's bringing Sam as well"

"So we'd better get dressed then and go hadn't we?" Ulrich sighed

"Yeah, I guess so" Yumi said walking to her wardrobe

AT STREAKES

Aelita and Jeremie were seated in the corner with Odd and Sam and were waiting for Ulrich and Odd to come in silence.

When they had finally arrived Aelita started to talk

"Ok what I am about to say only really applies to me, Jer, Yumi, Ulrich and Odd. Sorry Sam but I'm sure you understand"

"Of course I do, I'm going to go and talk to my brother anyway. He's a waiter you see here" She said leaving

The attention was turned back to Aelita, who continued

"After our last erm gathering I don't think any of us felt comfortable about it did we?"

Everyone shook their heads

"Exactly so we've been thinking, me and Jer, and well I want to know why each of us think we aren't as good friends as we were. I'll go first"

Aelita looked round at her friends who were looking at her waiting on her thoughts. She continued:

"I think the reason is lyoko. If you think about it we were always reunited against x.a.n.a. I'm going to use Ulrich and Yumi as an example. They were fighting 'coz of some girl called Emily, they came to lyoko to protect me and x.a.n.a made a life or death situation where they couldn't be de-virtualised they would be permanently deleted remember?

Well they made it up in lyoko 'coz of the situation. Lyoko and x.a.n.a always reunited us didn't they? Sure we were great friends but that's what made us great friends, that's what made us so close" Aelita finished with a tear in her eye.

Jeremie started talking straight after

"I don't understand why we aren't close any more. Love and friendships are subjects I don't really understand; I'm not an expert in it. All I know is that at kadic I couldn't understand why a geek like me had such great friends. So I don't understand why we aren't close anymore" Jeremie finished sighing

Odd sighed as well and started talking

"I only have 1 sentence to say on this subject and that's 'coz we've changed"

Ulrich spoke up

"Yeah we have changed but I don't think that would have really got in the way of our friendships 'coz we were totally different at kadic if you think about it Odd was like the energetic one, always dancing, always lively. Jeremie, a computer expert. Yumi, a grade ahead of all of us. And when Aelita was materialized for good I'd call her a mix between Jeremie and Odd for the reasons of being clever and energetic. And me I never understood why I fitted in with you lot, I was a quiet guy always kept myself to myself yet I still fitted in. I think the reason we aren't close anymore is 'coz of our colleges and uni's getting in the way." He finished looking at Yumi

"I honestly don't know why at all what everyone else has said are all valid points and all make sense but I don't know why I'm just sad that we aren't that same gang that we used to be" Yumi finished holding Ulrich's hand

"Ok now another thing I want to know from all of you is do you want all of us to still be friends?" Aelita looked at her friends who had looked up at her in shock "I know I do"

"I would like to be the close group we were before. Since not having you guys around I haven't made any close friends like it seems Ulrich and Yumi have" Jeremie sighed

"I miss spending time with all of you, just having a laugh being able to be myself" Odd said

"OK Jer just 'coz we've made other friends doesn't mean that we are as close as we were at kadic they're just people we hang about with. And of course I want us lot to be friends but closer than we have been recently" Ulrich finished sounding pissed off.

"I would love for us to be the great friends that we were again. Things aren't the same as they were before even with Grace and Matthew and Faith they're all whacked with their twisted love lives and all that our friendship with them isn't and will never be as close as ours was"

Aelita seemed to smile at what Ulrich and Yumi had said about their friends at uni.

"Do you know what disheartens me, though?" Yumi spoke up suddenly

Everyone, but Ulrich, shook their head

Yumi looked over at her boyfriend and smirked

"Do you know what disheartens me?" Yumi smiled

"The fact that we don't seem to trust each other like we did at kadic?"

"Yeah that's what made me think the most how strong our friendship and trust were but how easily it fell apart"

Everyone just sat in thought until Aelita said

"Ok every weekend we meet up with each other. Do stuff together to get that bond back"

"Yeah that would be great" Yumi said giving her boyfriend a heartening look

"Yeah it would be fun I suppose just as long as it wasn't a repeat of the café" Ulrich said looking at his friends

"We won't let it be" Aelita said with a huge grin on her face "I promise"

"Yeah it'll be cool well I gotta go call me to let me know the arrangements" Odd said getting Sam and leaving

"Yeah we've got stuff to do as well in the morning so bye" Yumi said taking Ulrich's hand

"Well that went better didn't it?" Aelita said still with the huge grin on her face. Jeremie nodded
