Replacement

In Misty's apartment.

"Hey Ulrich, you awake?" asked Misty as she shook Ulrich awake.

"Huh, what?" said Ulrich as he quickly sat up.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you were asleep still," said Misty.

"Oh, that's ok," said Ulrich.

"So are you hungry?" asked Misty.

"Yeah," said Ulrich.

"Bacon and eggs sound good?" asked Misty.

"Yeah that sounds great," said Ulrich.

Ulrich lay his head back down on the pillow.

'Crap I should have told Odd where I was going,' thought Ulrich.

The weird thing was that Yumi never crossed his mind all night. Back at Odd's house Odd was pacing back and forth across his living room floor.

"What do you mean you didn't see who he went out with," Odd said to Todd.

"I don't know who he was with. I left him to go find Nikki and then when I came back with her he was gone," said Todd.

"Well you should have paid a little more attention to him and less attention to your girlfriend," said Odd in an angry tone.

"Hey, don't go down on my girlfriend just because your friend got lost," Todd spat back.

"Odd, listen he probably just took his car out for a test drive," said Mandy.

"Wait that's it, that's what TJ did last night. He told me that he gave Ulrich a car," said Todd.

Todd's cell phone then rings. He picks it up and his eyes grow wide. He hangs up and looks at Odd.

"Odd we have a problem," said Todd.

"What?" asked Odd.

"Well apparently last night two cars were racing just a few blocks from the warehouse. One was a dark orange Nissan Skyline and the other was a gold Mitsubishi Eclipse," said Todd.

"Eddy," said Odd.

"Yeah he's back," said Todd.

"The gold Eclipse was Ulrich and you'll never guess where Ulrich is," said Todd.

"Where?" asked Odd.

"He's with Misty," said Todd.

"Wait I thought Misty was Eddy's girlfriend," said Odd.

"I don't know all the details just what Nikki said she saw,' said Todd.

"Ok, we need to get over there now," said Odd.

"Dude what's the rush?" asked Todd.

"Listen Misty is a…" he pauses and looks at Mandy.

"I know she's very appealing to guys, but I don't see how this is a problem for your friend," said Mandy.

"He has a girlfriend back home," said Odd.

"Hmm, well that shouldn't be a problem if he's going back," said Mandy.

The next thing they hear is the telephone ring.

"Odd it's for you," said Mike.

Odd takes the phone from him and walks into the kitchen.

"Hello," said Odd.

"Odd is Ulrich there?" Yumi's voice came form the other end.

Odd froze. What should he say? Ulrich wasn't in the house and if he told her who he was with she would go crazy. So Odd decided to lie to her.

"Hello, Odd are you there?" asked Yumi.

"Oh sorry Yumi, he's in the shower right now should I have him call you back?" asked Odd.

"No just tell him that I will be coming to visit you guys sometime this week. My record agent has made a deal with a recording studio out in Miami. I'm coming to make my first CD," said Yumi.

"Wow Yumi that's great, I'll be sure to let Ulrich know," said Odd in a fake excited voice.

Yumi and Odd then ended their conversation and Odd walked back into the room.

"Who was it?" asked Todd.

"Uh Yumi is coming here sometime this week," said Odd.

"Hmm, well there's nothing more we can do now, it's almost seven and we need to get to work," said Todd.

"Ok, listen Mandy if he comes back here don't let him leave until I get back," said Odd.

"Odd I have work to you know," said Mandy.

"Great how are we going to catch him?" asked Odd.

"Does he have a cell phone?" asked Mandy.

"Yeah but he's got it turned off," said Odd.

"We'll catch him sooner or later," said Todd as he walked out the front door.

They all left for work. Odd was hoping Ulrich didn't have any plans for tonight with his newfound girlfriend.


Hope everyone liked it, Ulrich is running himself into a rut. Will he ever get out of it? Leave a review to get the next ch.
