Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko but I do own Lynks
Notes: In my fanfic, Yumi is a bit shorter than Ulrich. Special thanks to my first reviewer, Starfiregirl5671, for being the first. If anybody has any suggestion for the group's costume and weapon upgrades that would be very much appreciated. Also, would anybody mind if Yumi cheated on Ulrich? If nobody tells me anything then I'm going to go with what I originally planned. Enjoy.

The bell rang and students walked out the front doors. Among them were Odd and Ulrich. They strolled up to a nearby tree and made themselves comfortable. "Hey you guys!"
Lynks walked up to them and gave a greeting smile. "So, how long are we supposed to wait?"
"Until Jeremy comes," replied Ulrich, scanning the kids walking past.
"Looking for Yumi?" questioned Odd, playfully. His brown-haired friend ignored the purple clad boy.
"Something feels different between me and her," he said, kicking the grass. "Its like she's avoiding me or just doesn't want to be near me."
More kids passed by. Still no Yumi, Jeremy, or Aelita. "Well you have been going out for about," began Lynks. He pulled up his hand and started counting. "Three months!"
"Maybe she needs a break," suggested the blonde. He had expected Ulrich to take it as a joke but instead his friend frowned and began walking away.
"I was just kidding!" called Odd, seeing his mistake.
The Lyoko samurai didn't seem to hear him. He was making his way to the front doors when he heard a voice. "Sorry I'm late!" Ulrich turned around to see his girlfriend coming up from the side. Seeing made him forget the problem, for the moment.
"I got held up in class," Yumi explained as her boyfriend made his way behind her.
Ulrich put his arms around her waist and she let out a little giggle. The Goth turned her head and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hi." She moved her hands and put them over his own.
Lynks and Odd were trying to contain their laughter. Bits of snickering came out but the couple didn't seem to notice. Suddenly, a phone began ringing. Everyone looked towards the spiky-haired teen. Realizing it was his phone, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a white Nokia.
"Hello?" Lynks answered. They continued to stare at him. "Jeremy where are you? Aren't we supposed to go to the factory? Uh-huh. Okay that'll save us time. Sure we'll meet you there." He pressed end and put away the Nokia.
"Well what did Einstein say?" Ulrich asked.
"He and Aelita decided to work on our characters from his room," explained Lynks.
"Then that means we won't be able to try them out today!" Odd complained.
"No problem," said Yumi. "There's always tomorrow. Why don't you guys go ahead? I have to get something from my house."
"I'll go with you," offered Lynks.
"Sure." Yumi moved from out of Ulrich's arms and began walking towards the gate.
"I'll come too!" Ulrich joined up with the Japanese girl.
"That's okay," Yumi said. "You should go with Odd and work on your characters.
With that, she and Lynks left, leaving a broken Ulrich and a surprised Odd. They walked to the corner and disappeared. The brown-haired youth stood there, his eyes on the ground and hands in his pockets.
"Ulrich I," started Odd, putting a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Leave me alone." He shrugged off the blonde's hand and stomped off. "I'll be in my room."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, en route to Yumi's house. "Hey Yumi?" said Lynks. They were on the sidewalk. A few cars passed by and a couple of adults came out of a shop.
"Yeah Lynks?" The Goth kept looking straight.
"Well I don't know if you know this, but Ulrich feels as if you're trying to avoid him," he explained. "Are you?"
"Yes I am," she said, still looking straight.
Her friend raised a brow. "You are? Why?"
"They're my own reasons," was Yumi's response. The two turned at another corner and her house came into view.
"Would you tell me what they are?" he asked, give her most of his attention.
Now Yumi turned her head, grinning. "Not here. When we get inside my room."
"Okay," said the spiky-haired Asian, a bit of doubt in his voice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door opened and in stepped Odd. He looked around the room and focused his eyes on the two figures near the window. Closing the door behind him, he walked up to them. "So, whatcha guys do so far?"
"Oh, hi Odd," greeted Aelita. "We were waiting for you guys."
"Speaking of which, where are Lynks, Yumi, and Ulrich?" Jeremy asked, typing on his keyboard.
"Well, the two Asians went off to Yumi's house. Mr. Gloomy offered to go but his girlfriend didn't want him to come with," the purple clad boy explained. "So now he's in his room, sulking."
"Why didn't Yumi want Ulrich to come? I mean, they are going out so it would only be natural if she let him," said Jeremy, still pressing buttons.
"Ulrich told Lynks and I about how he felt she was avoiding him." Odd took a seat on the bed. "I think they need a break from each other. They've been going out for a few months already."
"So have Jeremy and myself," added Aelita.
Hearing this, the computer nerd stopped typing and turned his chair around. He stood up, to the pink-haired teen's height and gave her a kiss on the lips. "The best few months."
She blushed, Odd just groaned. "Anyway, back to Lyoko matters. Have you changed any of our outfits or upgraded anything yet?" asked the purple dressed blonde.
"We were just about to do Aelita," replied Jeremy.
"Well lets get started," she said, smiling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over to Ulrich's and Odd's dorm. A figure lay on the bed. His light green t-shirt was a bit ruffled. He had his hands behind his head and was staring up at the ceiling.
"She took Lynks when he offered, but when I offered she said no," thought the brown-haired teen. "Does she still feel the same way as she did when we first started dating?"
Ulrich rolled over to his side and stared at Odd's bed. Kiwi was sleeping quietly on it. "Maybe Odd is right. We do need a break from each other." He closed his eyes and shook his head. "What am I thinking? There has to be some other way."
His attention went from the dog to his alarm clock. "Hmm…four-thirty. I've been here almost an hour. It's been an hour since they left for Yumi's house. They should already be back. Most likely they're in Jeremy's room."
The youth got up. Fixing himself, he walked over to the door and opened it. "I'll pop over to see what's going on." With that he left, waking up Kiwi when the door closed.
