To go through an event only to find out later that it didn't really happen, or worse yet, to have done an event but to never remember it. Neither idea is very nice, and neither idea is what the children choose. Their minds fight for the knowledge that they hold even though their bodies see differently.


Ulrich:

It was a Saturday and sometime around noon. I was standing in front of Yumi's house holding a rose in one hand and waiting. I had just rung the doorbell and was waiting for someone to answer it. The seasons had changed and it was beginning to become fall. The leaves were changing colors and some had already fallen.

The door opened and Yumi's mother looked at me. She smiled and allowed me inside. She brought me to wait in the living room and then left to get Yumi. I sat down on the couch and waited. I saw Yumi's father walk back and forth a few times through the doors. I felt nervous, but it wasn't burning into me as it had the first time I had come over and met her parents.

Yumi appeared in the doorway. She was wearing a full black dress, far different from what she had worn to the prom. It hung around her with an air of beauty and serenity. She really did look better in black than white; I don't think the effect would have been nearly as radiant. She walked over to me and I stood up. We smiled at each other and said a quick good bye to her parents. We then made our way to the school.

The trip was short, shorter than I had remembered running when we had first had the prom. We made it there in no time and others were just arriving. I could see Sissi with Herb, and other couples standing around getting ready for it to start. I suddenly saw Odd and Sam; they were both dressed up and looking happy. As I glanced around the room Jeremie walked into view, and following him was Aelita. She looked nervous and was blushing slightly, but she was wearing the dress that Yumi had picked out for her.

The six of us met together around the center, Sissi and Herb; Odd and Sam; Jeremie and Aelita, and of course Yumi and myself. We greeted each other and smiled, then just as we were about to start talking about something random the headmaster spoke over the speaker.

"I know that you are all anxious to get on with the festivities but first we have ten people that we have welcomed here to speak with us. I hope that you will all give them as much respect now as you have in the past. Now I give you the traveler."

He handed over the microphone to the traveler and the traveler stepped up in front of us. He was wearing a suit, as though he were at a business meeting or participating in this dance. When I saw him I felt happy, almost as though everything had gone right and it was all truly over.

When he spoke it was in a voice that I had never heard him use before yet it sounded as familiar as if I had known it all my life. The room grew quiet very quickly as though silence had flooded the room. Everyone turned their full attention to him, and only then did I notice that there were news cameras in the room.

"As you all know a long and hard battle has just been won recently. The six children and I had fought epically and won. The evil that had once threatened your world and many others is now no more, and we finally have peace once again. I would like to thank those who helped in defeating this great evil and would like to mourn those who were lost during the struggle... On that note I will hand you over to Ginda."

He handed the microphone over to Ginda, who was wearing as much white as he was black. Together they were almost like a yin-yang. She stood up to the microphone and began to speak, creating almost the same effect as the traveler had. Her voice rang out almost as though she were singing.

"As you all know we are able to bring back the dead, yet we are only allowed to do so during certain times. The time has come and we will gladly bring back any person or creature that had died during the fight against Xanadu." As she said this she raised both arms levitating the microphone in front of her. A bright light appeared around here and when I looked over at the traveler I saw a similar thing. They both turned to face one another and their hands met. Suddenly the light changed and exploded outward illuminating everything.

Little white orbs began appearing around the room with faint outlines of people. As the light emanated around them the images began to solidify. Their bodies began to mold themselves out of thin air and they appeared in the flesh once again. Some people ran to them and gave them hugs while others calmly walked over to them.

You know, Ulrich, one is not allowed to know too much of ones future or it will not happen... said a voice around me. You should wake up before you find out to much more. Besides, you really do have a date with Yumi today.

I suddenly bolted up in my bed wide awake. The dream began slipping out of my mind taking everything I had seen with it. I looked around slightly confused and then remembered what day it was. I quickly got out of bed and got dressed.


Now Ulrich and Yumi are able to go on a date together, truly, but they can't live a completely normal life if they still know about Lyoko. Two old friends come back and they find out something new about what is going on around them.
