Chapter 1

Jeremy, Ulrich and Odd met Aelita in the breakfast hall. Odd looked over at Jeremy.

"Alright, Einstein. Why are we meeting in the lab tonight?" He asked.

Ulrich looked at him and chuckled slightly. "Let me guess. You forgot." He said.

Jeremy sighed. "To practice on Lyoko a little. Plus, were going to explore 'Sector 5' again. The more data we can get on it, the better."

Aelita smiled and finished her food. They all walked outside. Odd pretended objects were Xana's monsters and was 'shooting' them with his laser arrows, in an attempt to show Jeremy that he didn't need practice.

"See, I'm just fine at shooting! Plus, we've explored Sector 5 a ton of times. Not much more we can figure out." He said, and plopped to a sitting position on the stairs.

Aelita looked at him. "Don't you like being on Lyoko, Odd?" She asked him.

Ulrich looked at her and grinned. "Mr. Brave here is afraid of Sector 5."

Jeremy looked at Odd. "Really?"

Odd's face grew red. "N-no! I just get sick every time we go there. Plus, when we go there, we endanger Aelita. We never know where that Marabunta thing is!" He stammered. He grinned slightly as he saw everyone contemplating what he said.

Aelita smiled. "No, it's alright. I'll be fine so long as you guys are there protecting me, so no need to worry." She said.

Yumi walked up to them. "Hey, guys. What are you four talking so seriously about?" She asked.

Just at that moment, the bell rang. Odd sighed, relieved. "Oh, well! I guess we've got to go to the exciting world of math! Bye, Yumi!"

He grabbed Jeremy and Ulrich's arms and ran off to class. Aelita waved goodbye to Yumi and followed after. Yumi stood there slightly confused. William walked up to her and grabbed her hand. Together they walked to science.

Half way during class the principle entered Yumi's science class. "Miss Ishiyama. Please come here."

Yumi nodded and headed over to him. William watched, but was unable to hear what they were saying. He saw the principle's grave face and Yumi's quickly turn sad. He also saw some tears as she collapsed to the ground, crying. The entire class was watching and William rushed out there.

"Yumi! What's wrong!" He asked, ignoring the teacher whom was yelling at him.

Yumi didn't say anything, She couldn't. The principle grabbed Yumi and smiled at William. "Don't worry, William. Go back to class." He said as he led Yumi to his office, where her parents were.

The bell rang, ending class. William ran to find Yumi's friends. Ulrich saw him first and sent him a glare.

"What do you want, William?" He asked with a cold tone.

Aelita, Jeremy, Odd and Ulrich stepped off to the side. Aelita looked around, looking for someone.

"William. Where's Yumi?" She asked. The others realized she was gone as well.

William looked at them. "She's gone. The principle came into class and told her something and she started to cry. They wouldn't even let me find out why she was crying."

The three friends looked at each other and started running off to the principle's office, William following. Ulrich pounded on the door, and the principle opened up, Jim was in there with him.

"Ulrich and his gang! What do you want?" Jim asked, slightly annoyed.

Please comment so I know how i'm doing!

I am not doing a YxW, I'm more pro YxU, but I won't get into that too much.
