CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

Later that night,everyone was preparing for tommorow's concert...everyone except Yumi and Seicha,that is. Ami was surprised by this and decided to look for them. She looked in Yumi's room,thinking Yumi was in there.

Instead,she found Seicha packing her bags. She left and tried looking for Yumi somewhere else. She found her on the couch sleeping,obviously worn out from the showdown with Seigei. Ami was about to leave her alone,but she decided that Yumi should say goodbye to Seicha before she left. So she gently tapped Yumi on the shoulder.

''Z z z...Huh? What is it,Ami?'' Yumi asked sleepily.

''Seicha's leaving.'' Ami said.

''Uhhh...yeah...that's nice...WHAT?''

''You heard me,Seicha's getting ready to leave.''

''Wh--where is she?''

''In your room.''

Yumi ran to her room.


When she got in there,Seicha was done packing. Seicha noticed Yumi.

''Oh...perfect timing.'' Said Seicha.

''Yeah,I guess...'' Yumi said,looking away sadly.

''What's wrong?'' Seicha asked.

''Nothing...just...''

''What?''

''It's kind of like you moving all over again.''

Seicha thought this over,remembering how miserable Yumi was when she moved. She decided to change the subject.

A few minutes later,Ami walked in and found the two of them reminiscing about this and that. She was still pretty upset about Yumi choosing Seicha over her.

Yumi looked over and saw Ami. She could tell what she was thinking just by the look on her face.

''Ami,'' Yumi said, ''You're a great friend,and you mean a lot to me. But I just can't forget about Seicha.''

Ami thought this over a minute. She soon understood that Yumi didn't like either of them better than the other. Seicha understood as well.

''Well,'' Seicha said, ''My flight leaves in an hour,so I'd better get going.'' She picked up her suitcase and started to leave. Yumi hugged her and looked up at her tearfully. Seicha looked at her. It truly was moving day all over again. By looking at Yumi's eyes,she could tell that she was about to cry.

''Don't.'' She told Yumi. ''Please don't.''

Yumi let go. Seicha walked out of Yumi's room and headed toward the exit of the bus. Ami and Yumi followed her. Seicha opened the door and before she stepped out,she looked back at them. They were waving at her.

She waved back,then left. Yumi sadly stared at the door. Ami,seeing how upset she was,put her hand on Yumi's shoulder. Yumi looked at her and smiled,then they both left the room.


The following night at the concert,everyone cheered for Yumi,for they all loved her tough,rebellious spirit.

What they didn't know was that Yumi wouldn't be this way had it not been for Seicha.

Yumi looked and saw everyone jumping up and down and cheering for her. She smiled.

I owe it all to you,Seicha,She thought.


THE END

Bye-Bye Boo!
