Why hello, welcome to the final chapter of my first story. I am going to write a sequel. I just not sure when I am going to do it. I might write a different one first. Not sure yet. Just give me a few days folks. All well. Here goes.

Looking to the future.

Ulrich woke up to his same old alarm clock in his same old room. He was thinking about skipping out on his work out, and was going to but he knew Yumi would be waiting for him. So he slowly got out of bed and put on his sweats. Next he opened the door slowly to make sure he didn't wake up Odd. Once he was out he started down the now empty hall way going for the gym. As he walked across the empty school grounds he started wondering if William was able to hold on or even climb back over the edge of the bridge. "NO, he couldn't have. He was barely hanging on by his fingers." the young German thought to himself. " At least I hope he didn't, I mean, Jeez I just don't know." As he entered the gym, he looked up and saw Yumi sitting on the bleachers.

"Hi Yumi" he said.

" Oh hi Ulrich. How are ya feeling." Yumi asked.

" I am fine, you?"

" Never better."

The tension in the room was as thick as butter and you would think that you could cut it with a knife.

"Yumi" Ulrich stepping forward to ask. " Can we just go for a walk. Well, instead of working out."

" Sure, were?" she asked now blushing a little bit.

" Just threw the park, is that ok." the young brown haired boy asked blushing deeply as well.

Meanwhile back in Jeremy's room.

"OK, I am here Jeremy what in the world is so important that you couldn't tell me at breakfast." a groggy Odd stated walking into the room.

"Odd shut up and watch the monitor." Jeremy and Aelita both yelled at the goofy American.

...And in another note a once proud student of Kadic High School right here in Pairs has been found in his room dead. This young man has been known to be involved in gang activity. The cause of death is still unknown. But his parents are offering a reward for anyone knowing anything about what might have caused the death of this beloved young man. William Stating was 15.

"Wow" Odd said " I thought Ulrich just left him hanging off the end of the bridge?"

"He did." The pink haired AI said

" That is what is puzzling me. Cause there is now a new form processing in Lyoko." Jeremy said

"We need to let Ulrich and Yumi know about this." Aelita said.

"Not yet lets let them recover. For the day." the blond cpu programmer stated.

Back in the park.

We now find Ulrich and Yumi sitting under the same tree that Yumi let something slip out earlier in the story.

"Yumi, why did you come up to the bridge?" Ulrich asked suddenly breaking the long time silence around them.

" I wanted to help you, to make sure you didn't get hurt." she replied

" Thanks Yumi" he said grabbing her and pulling her close to him. Which she quickly learned had other motives. As he pulled her closer to him, he brought his lips to hers and a very passionate kiss. Still pulling her closer to him. They only broke for when they needed air. Once they broke they sat there cuddling not wanting the moment to end, but they knew that school would soon be beginning. So they got back there composure and began to make there way back to the gym and dorms to get ready for the days events.

"Yumi, what do you think is going to happen next?" He asked her in a bit of a worried tone.

"I don't know Ulrich, but no matter what happens we will work through it together. OK" the pretty Asian girl replied.

" Ya, we will, Yumi, I love you!" Ulrich sputtered out turning redder than anything on the planet.

" I love you to Ulrich." she said leaning in and giving him a short kiss on the cheek.

" I hope everyday can be as good as right now." The young man said heading for his dorm.
