Yumi came back down from the balcony with a ton of necklaces in her hand.
"What happened?" Odd asked.
She lifted up them up "They found them. I don't want them to get hurt unless im their to watch and make sure their safe" Yumi said.
'Yumis truly a mom' Kate thought.
"I heard that" Yumi said aloud and looked at Kate who smiled
Yumi lifted her hand in the air. A very heavy looking safe came from another balcony and floated in front of Yumi. It opened up and Yumi put the necklaces in it and shut the safe. It lifted back up and went to where it came from.
She sat down again.
"So, what have you guys been up to?" Yumi asked. "I know what Aelita and Kate have been up to but what about you guys?"
Odd and Ulrich looked at Jeremie. "We have been designing a new video game-" Jeremie said but was cut off by Yumi.
"One that is just like Lyoko and its called "Code Lyoko" Yumi said.
"How did you know?" Jeremie said.
"Uhh Jer..." Odd started.
"Wait Odd, I want to know how you found out?" Jeremie asked again.
"I supported it" Yumi said.
"Huh?" Jeremie asked.
"That's what I was trying to tell you Einstein. Yumi donated 10,000 dollars to have them make everything right at the production center" Odd said.
"Yea, I do know for a fact that you guys are using the original characters just not the same names." Yumi said.
Ulrich and Odd nodded.
Jeremie looked at Odd. "Why didn't you tell me before?" he asked.
"We didn't need to. We didn't even get to talk to Yumi. No one did" Odd responded.
"I try to keep things private" Yumi said. "So when does it come out?"
"This Christmas" Ulrich said.
"Probably later, we moved up here so we cant finish the final touches" Jeremie said sadly.
"Jeremie, im not stupid." Yumi stated "Your company has been moved up here. And your workers have been paid to move up here too. You can go to it any time"
A smile came upon Jeremie's face "Thanks Yumi" Yumi smiled at him and nodded her head once.
"If you knew what we were doing Yumi, why did you ask?" Ulrich asked.
"Because I wanted to see what Jeremie would say. Maybe it would have been something else" she replied.
"So what do you guys want to do?"Yumi asked.
Aelita looked at the map and her eyes practically popped out of her head. "My god this place is huge" she said.
"I figured you'd notice that when the limo drove up here" Kate said.
"Well… what can we do?" Odd asked.
"Loads of stuff. Gym, library, game room, theatre, spa. The garden is my favorite place though. Very peaceful. I always go there to calm down" Yumi said.
"You even have a Petting Zoo" Aelita said more of a statement than a question.
"For the kids who come here for tours" Yumi said. "You should see their faces when they touch a lama, its priceless"
"Ummm… lets go to the theatre" Kate said.
Yumi nodded and got up and lead the way.
They entered a room with a huge screen on the wall. There were 10 chairs lined up in a row in the front.
"What movie? Pick whatever you want" Yumi said. She lifted her hand and from a small opening behind them, a book came floating out.
It landed in Kates hands. She opened it. Inside were all the posters of movies, shrunk to pocket picture size in the book.
"Hmmmm" Kate said as she flipped through the pages "Oh my god… Rush Hour 2, I haven't seen that in forever"
Yumi nodded. The book lifted in to air and went pack through the little window. Yumi snapped her fingers on both hands and popcorn and soda appeared in everyones hands.
Everyone sat down. With a twist of her wrist, Yumi started the movie… without any previews.
.: 91 minutes late :.
The movie finished and everyone got up. Joshua, Vanessa and Alex came running in.
"Mom!" Joshua called "The ambassador is here!"
"Oh great" Yumi said "Thinks I cant run a decent country on my own. I swear, that man is lucky im nice, if not then it would be off with his head before he could say 'Hi'"
(A/n: so Alice in Wonderland )
The others sniggered. Yumi picked up Joshua. Kate and Aelita picked up Vanessa and Alex, and they all followed Yumi out. She lead them back to the foray and there the man that Yumi met when she was fourteen was standing with his assistant (A/n: the girl in the last chapter that was with the ambassador before in 'Just a Vision Closer')
"State your disruption" Yumi said annoyed.
"Hello Yumi, I have just come to see if you are doing ok. How is Joshua?" he said.
Joshua looked at him and stuck out his tongue.
'I taught him well' Yumi thought
"You are to call me by my given name, now are you here to bother me and my friends or to tell me something?" Yumi asked getting angry.
"Umm, Sorry Princess Yumi" the ambassador said and bowed his head "Your friends are here?"
"Yea and my dad too!" Joshua said happily. Ulrich smiled at that.
"He's here?" the ambassador said half-heartedly
"Yea im here, do you have a problem with that?" Ulrich asked walking up next to Yumi. He took Joshua and held him close.
"Yes I have a problem! Cause of you I had to go through so much misery! You had to go around and be a tramp with her!" the ambassador shouted.
"WHAT!" Yumi shouted. Her eyes began to glow and the tornado appeared around her making her long hair fly. She started walked closer to the ambassador "YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THE MISERY? I WAS THE ONE THROWING UP AND THE ONE WHO HAD TO GO THROUGH BIRTH! I WANT TO SEE YOU DO THAT! YOU WONT EVER CALL MY FRIENDS NAMES! ULRICH IS NOT A TRAMP AND HE NEVER WAS ONE! BECAUSE OF YOU I HAD TO LEAVE HIM! GOING THROUGH ALL THAT PAIN WAS WORTH IT! JOSHUA IS A GOOD KID AND I WOULDN'T BARE ANYBODY ELSES CHILD BUT ULRICHS! DON'T INSULT MY FAMILY!" A flame started to form around Yumi.
"Yes well, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have gone through all that pain" the ambassador said matter-of-factively.
That was the biggest mistake off his life. Yumi made him fly up into the air and was nearly able to touch the ceiling. Joshua, Alex and Vanessa laughed at this.
"I DON'T CARE! IM GLAD I HAD JOSHUA! HE IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SINCE I MOVED HERE BESIDES THE FACT THAT MY FRIENDS COME UP HERE! YOU REFUSED TO LET ME DO ANYTHING! I AM NOT A CHILD AND I WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE ONE! I AM PRINCESS YUMI KIN AND I WILL NOT BE BOSED AROUND BY YOU! I SHOULD BE BOSING YOU!" Yumi shouted once more
"I don't boss you around. I gave you pointers and stuff like that" he defended himself.
Yumi flew up to face him
"NO! ALL YOU DID WAS MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL! SO IM GOING TO MAKE YOURS THE SAME! YOU ARE FIRED! ASTARA WILL BE TAKING YOUR PLACE! SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEEDED HER MOST! MY TIME OF NEED AND COMFORT! SOMETHING YOU COULD NOT DO EVEN IF YOU TRIED!" Yumi brought him down "Guards!" Yumi yelled. Two guards came running in "Take this man back to his car, and make sure he doesn't come back on my property. If he does, then be creative"
The guards nodded and took the now jobless man by the shoulders and lead him out of the palace. Yumi's eyes stopped glowing and the tornado and flames disappeared. She came back down to the ground.
Astara bowed to Yumi "I thank you Princess Yumi, I will come and see you soon".
Yumi bowed back and Astara left.
"You must of really hated him, Yumi" Aelita stated.
Yumi nodded. "He thinks I cant handle things. He treats me like a child, he's even worst to Joshua. I cant stand that man" Yumi said and started walking through the right hall of the painted fruit. They followed closely behind.
"Mommys stressed" Joshua whispered in Ulrichs ear. He was right.
She ended up leading them to the garden. Fountains were everywhere and flowers of all different kind surrounded it. The scent lifted to every ones nose as they sniffed in all the goodness.
Yumi sat down in a bench. Joshua was struggling in Ulrichs grip so he put him down. Joshua walked over to his mother. She put him in her lap and he gave her a hug and Yumi hugged him back.
