Chapter 6:Sheer Facts

Three weeks later

Yumi woke up earlier than Eddie, at six. She decided to take a shower in the bathroom Eddie's family's laborers built last week. She went to the bathroom,and closed the door. She stripped down and got in.

Yumi's POV

"I just hope Ulrich doesn't find out about me and Eddie's relationship and how it evolved." After Yumi was done with her shower she dried off and picked up her clothes "Oh no I forgot my top!" She then peeked out the door to see if Eddie was awake, he wasn't. She put on the clothes that she did have, and snuck out the door. Yumi tip-toed to her dresser drawer and opened it. When she was looking for a top that matched her outfit, something grabbed her hand." When she turned around Eddie was there, holding her hands down.

Normal...

Eddie, who didn't notice at first that Yumi had nothing on from her waist up, was blushing more than she had ever seen him. "Yumi I'm sor-" "Not a word" "Your top is over there, on the bed, I got it out for you." "Well, you can stop staring now." Eddie, hearing that was beet red. "Sorry, I um...I couldn't help it." Eddie embarrassed let go of her hands. Yumi put on her shirt. "Remember, not a word especially to Ulrich, okay?" "Yumi, you know that I can't keep a secret, even a little one, it's impossibe for me to keep my mouth shut forever."

Flashback...

"I couldn't believe that Emily, she told me that she really like Ulrich and has a crush on well...you Odd" "What!?" Odd was shocked. Emily walked up to them. "Hi Ulrich, Odd what's going on?" "You um.. you" Odd couldn't help it, he burst out laughing. Emily instantly knew what had happened, it was like she heard Eddie say it. She smacked Eddie. "You tell anyone else," Emily then pointed at Yumi," even Yumi won't recognize you." She stormed off.

Normal Time...

"Try" they both went out the door. One headed for Ms.Herts, the other actors class.

At Ms. Herts class...

As usual, no one in class but Jeremie was paying attention. "Odd?" "I'm trying to take notes, Eddie " "No your not, your drawing a picture of Kiwi next to Aelita." On his desk, lay a piece of paper, a rough drawing of Kiwi was in Lyoko, apparently in the desert, standing next to a very detailed picture of Aelita, it was perfect. "Yeah, but that's my cover story if Ms.Herts comes to check to see if we're paying attention." "Meet me at the manhole, after lunch, Aelita has to be in on this too." said Eddie nervously. "Okay what's this abou-" "Odd please" Ms. Herts yelled as she continued the lesson on quantum physics.

After lunch at the manhole...

Odd was leaning on a nearby a tree when Eddie ran through the tall bushes, his laptop in hand."Yumi, Jeremie, and Ulrich are on our trail, we can't let them hear!" They quickly slid down the already opened manhole, Eddie closed the lid. "If we throw their skateboards and scooter in the water they won't be able to follow." Just when the last skateboard was thrown, and they were on theirs when light flooded down the ladder."Odd, Go!" Even though they knew they didn't have to they went as fast as they could towards the factory.They reached they end of the sewers, and climbed the ladder.

At the factory, in the computer room...

"Okay this shouldn't be too hard" Odd said sarcastically. Eddie got up into the chair, he put the earpieace on, and press a few buttons."Um...hello?" Aelita's face appeared on the screen "Oh, hello Eddie...what's wrong?" "Aelita, quick, lock all the doors to the factory." "But, why?" "Do it!"

At the entrance to the factory...

The doors seemed to lock themselves. "They locked the doors." "Can you get them open Jeremie?" "Yes but, Yumi, it'd take hours"

At the computer room.
"...And that's when I grabbed her hands,she knew it was me, but she turned around anyway,she did that fake blush and didn't try and pull away." "Wow, Eddie, if she did all that you said she-" "I know what it means, Odd" Eddie cut him off from saying it. "What do you mean?" Eddie than whispered into the mike."No! Don't do it it's wrong, and you know it." "I know but..." "If you do I'll-I'll tell Ulrich" "No, c'mon Aelita I was just kidding." "Good" "Do what you think is right, oh and thanks for telling me and Aelita first." "I don't plan to tell anyone else, so you have to keep it a secret." They both nodded. "I'll tell you why I picked both of you, Odd, I picked you because your good with the girls," Eddie continued, "Aelita, I picked you because you have an acute sense of right and wrong." "Okay, let's unlock the doors before they do something drastic." "Good idea, Odd." Aelita hacked the system again.

At the entrance to the factory...

The doors unlocked. "Finnaly" Jeremie moaned. I'd like to hear him talk his way out of this one." Ulrich mumbled...
