Only Time Will Tell
Chapter 6: Together
By: Japanime Girl

Aelita was sitting at a table in the cafeteria, fork in hand, playing with her food. She was still sad and deceptive for what had happened just a few moments ago. Jeremy didn't want to say a word about what happened the night before. 'Maybe he regrets all of this' she thought "Maybe he found out that he doesn't really like me' She was so lost in her own thought that she didn't notice Jeremy sitting in font of her.

"Aelita, I need to talk to you" he said, when she didn't answer him, he grabbed her hand "Are you OK?" he asked worried

It was then when Aelita noticed his presence, she blushed when she noticed he was holding her hand "Jeremy! I didn't see you"

Jeremy smiled "Aelita, we need to talk" he repeated

"About what?" she asked, illusive

"About what we were talking last night... I didn't have time to finish" he said "But..."

'Why has there always have to be a "but"?' Aelita thought "But what?" she asked

"I don't want this to be the place where i tell you what I want to tell you" he said "Let's finish breakfast and then we'll go to the forest"

Aelita nodded "All right"

"Finally! The tour is over" Odd informed Sam

"Over already?" Sam asked "Time flies when I'm with you Odd!" Sam said as she hugged him

"Uh.. Sam wait" Odd said as he gently pushed her

"What's wrong Odd?" she asked

"How do I say this? Um... the truth is... well... what I'm trying to say is..." 'Wow! This is a lot harder than I thought!' Odd thought

"Odd, whatever you want to tell me, just tell me!" Sam said "I'll understand!"

Odd took her hand and guided her to the bench "Sit down... I want to tell you something that I think you're not gonna like" he said "Look Sam, there was a time when I thought I liked you..."

"Liked me?" Sam asked "Are you saying that you don;t like me anymore?" she asked

"No Sam" Odd said

Sam stood up from the bench "I can;t believe you Odd! You're still the same arrogant fool!"

Odd shook his head "No Sam! I'm not, that's exactly why I'm telling you the truth" he said

Sam looked at him "You replaced me didn't you?" she asked "There's another one isn't there?"

"Sam I didn't replace you" Odd said "You and I were never together, sure there was a kiss but that was it"

"But I thought that kiss meant something to you!" Sam said "But lett me tell you something Odd, you're not getting rid of me that easily!" she said

"Sam there's no reason..."

Sam interrupted him "No, I'm not gonna let anyone else take away the guy I like! I'm gonna fight for you starting right now!" she grabbed him and kissed him

Odd quickly puled away "Sam! Are you crazy! Don't make things harder that they already are!"

Sam let herself fall to the floor "Odd... I like you! And just a few minutes ago I thought you liked me too"

Odd kneeled in front of her "Sam, you are a nice girl and I think you and I could be good friends, but that's it" he said "Please forgive me, I know that all of this is my fault" I shouldn't have kissed you that day" he took her arms and picked her up from the floor "Well then... friends?" he asked

"Just tell me something Odd" Sam said "There is another girl, isn't there?"

"Sam..."

"Just tell me! Is there?" she asked

Odd turned his gaze to the floor "Yes Sam"

"That's all I wanted to know" Sam said as she turned around "I'm sorry Odd, but I cant be friend with the guy I like" she said and left

Odd let out a long sigh "Poor Sam, this is all my fault" he said

He was about to go look for Halyn when he saw Yumi coming out of her class "Hey Yumi!" he waved

Yumi saw Odd and walked over to him "Hey Odd, what happened? Did you talk to Samantha?" she asked him

"Yeah, it was the hardest thing I had to do!" Odd said "She's really angry at me..." he stopped when he saw Yumi "Have you been crying?" he asked her

"What? Me? No... it's just your imagination" Yumi quickly said

"Yumi stop lying! Your eyes all are red and puffy!" Odd said "Don't tell me this is all about Ulrich"

Yumi let more tears fall "Yes"

"What did he do now?" he asked

"I went to look for him today to your room to tell him that I forgive him" Yumi said "I was gonna give him another chance but I found him in the room with Sissi"

"Don't tell me that..." Odd imagined the worst "What.. what were they doing?" he asked fearfully

"Sissi was hugging him and..." Yumi thought for a second "The truth is I don't know" she said as she sat down on the bench "I don't know what was going on"

"Yumi, sorry for butting in but don't you think you should let Ulrich explain to you what was happening?" Odd asked "I mean, everyone in this school knows that Sissi has been trying to get Ulrich ever since we started studying in this school and we also know that Ulrich can't stand Sissi. Now you tell me why you think Ulrich was with Sissi in that room?" Odd asked "Surely Sissi, being the type of girl she is,went into our room without him knowing"

Yumi took time to register everything that Odd just told her "You may be right..." she said as she wiped away her tears "I'm so stupid! I should've thought of that before telling Ulrich that I never wanted to see him again!" she stood up "I'm gonna go look for him, I have to talk to him" she began running towards the dorms "Thanks Odd!"

Odd waved at her "Good luck" he said

"I was looking for you" a voice behind him said

Odd turned around to see Haru standing there "Haru! Don't kill me!" Odd joked

"Ha, ha very funny Odd" Haru said sarcastically "We need to talk" he said getting serious

"All right, that way I can talk to you about certain things I'm sure are going on around school about me" Odd said

"OK, you start" Haru told him as he sat in the bench

Odd sat next to him "Haru, I have dated every single girl in the eight grade... ad some from the ninth" he said

"What?" Haru looked at him with shock "you mean with everyone?" he asked

Odd nodded "But that's not what worse"

"I'm afraid to ask what's worst" Haru said

"The worst is that sometimes I used to go out with two at the same time" he said

Haru jumped up from the bench "Are you crazy! And you pretend to go out with my sister?" Haru asked angrily "You'll probably do to her what you did to others!"

"No Haru! I've changed... a lot!" Odd assured him "I would never do the same stupid stuff i did again!"

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Haru asked him "If you did it once, what assures me you won't do it again... and to my sister?"

"A few minutes ago I was talking to a girl named Sam, she thought I liked her..."

Haru interrupted him "What does that have to do with what we're talking about?' he asked

"Wait, let me explain" Odd said "I told her that I didn't like her, that she could only be my friend because the only one I like is Halyn" he said "Now you tell me, would I have cut this girl short if I was still the same jerk I was before?" he asked "No, I would've took the opportunity to go out with the two of them at the same time"

"Well, you are right" Haru said

"Is everything clear then?" Odd asked

"Yeah, but don't think I won't keep my eye on you!" he said

"Fair enough" Odd said "Now what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, that was one thing" Haru said

"And the other thing?" Odd asked

"That I agree" Haru simply said

"Agree?" Odd asked confused

"Yeah, it's gonna hurt loosing Halyn but..."

Odd interrupted him "Wait a second, how are you gonna loose Halyn? You're really confusing me Haru"

"OK, let me explain to you a little better, I know that you think that I hate you but the truth is you're great! It's just that you're the first guy my sister has shown attention to and I haven't been able to control myself. I still see her as my little sister... I guess I still think of her as a little girl" Haru said

"Wait, I still don't get it" Odd said "How are you gonna loose her?" he asked

"If you guys hook up she won't have time for me anymore" Haru said "She and I are more that brother and sister, we're best friends and..."

Odd interrupted him again "That's why you don't want me near her?" he asked "Haru whatever happens, Halyn will still be your sister, nobody will be able to change that" he said "You guys are bonded from blood and she won't stop talking to you if she and I hook up" he told him

"You're right" Haru said "So we're clear now, I let you go out with her but I'll keep my eye on you!" he said

"Really?" Odd asked

Haru nodded "Yeah, now I have to go, class starts in five minutes" he said

"Haru, before you go... does this mean we're friends now?" he asked him

"We were always friends Odd" Haru said and left

"With friends like him who wants enemies" Odd exclaimed "All right, now I'll go look for Halyn"

Aelita and Jeremy were walking through the forest for some time now. Neither of them had said a word after leaving the cafeteria. Suddenly Jeremy stopped Aelita "Wait"

"What is it Jeremy?" Aelita asked him

"We've been walking for a long time and I think I should just tell you" he said

Aelita sat on the ground "OK Jeremy, I'm all ears" she said

Jeremy kneeled in front of her "Aelita... I've been wanting to tell you thins for a long time, but I never had the courage to tell you. And yesterday, I was so close to telling you but jim had to interrupt me" Jeremy said

Aelita smiled "Tell me" she said anxiously

Jeremy took a deep breath "Ever since I met you I felt something special towards you... my life changed completely, call me crazy but ever since I laid eyes on you I fell in love with you" he took her hand "Aelita... do you want to be my girlfriend?" he asked

Aelita let her tears fall "Of course Jeremy" she threw her arms around him "Jeremy, you don't know how long I've been wanting to her you say this" she said

"Really?" Jeremy asked

Aelita let go of him "Yeah, the truth is.. I fell in love with you too" she said

Jeremy smiled, he caressed her cheek and got closer to her until their lips met. A second later, Jeremy pulled away from her "Do you want to go tell the others?" he asked her

Aelita thought for a moment "Yeah but..." she got closer to him "later" she said as she kissed him again

Yumi stopped in front of Ulrich's room and knocked

"Go away Sissi! I already told you to stay away from me!" he yelled from inside

Yumi opened the door "It's not Sissi!" she said

Ulrich quickly got up from the bed "Yumi! What are you doing here?" he asked

"Can I come in?" she asked him, Ulrich took her hand and closed the door "I talked to Odd" she said "And he made me realize that I was wrong to not let you give me an explanation" she said

"Yumi, Sissi came into my room while I was taking a shower" he said "When I came back, she was already here, that's why you saw her here! I was trying to get rid of her but she just wouldn't let go of me" he said "Yumi, you have to know that I will never have eyes for another.. I love you and only you" he said

"Ulrich I'm sorry I should've let you explain to me earlier" she said "I would've prevented all this pain I cause you and me for these hours" she said

"Yumi, I don't have anything to forgive you for" he told her "I should be the one asking for forgiveness"

"You know what, let's just not talk about this anymore" Yumi said

"Then..." Ulrich started but before he could finish Yumi kissed him "Of course i forgive you" she said

"Yumi you just made me the happiest guy alive!" Ulrich said "Thank you so much, I promise you I won't make you suffer like I did again" he said and kissed her one more time.

A/N: Well, there you have it, chapter six! So what'd you think? Well, I have to go now, everyone already went to sleep and it's only nine pm. O well since everyone is doing it I thought I might as well do it too :)

Odd:Don't worry Aelita; it'll pass over. They're (Ulrich and William) not the first guys who ever fought over a girl (Yumi)

Aelita: What about you? Would you fight over me, Jeremy?

Jeremy: I fight for you everyday Aelita. Against XANA

Odd: (feigns crying) That is... so beautiful!
