Ok, ok I haven't updated in... 11 days, but I have a good excuse! Ok, so I was climbing a tree like, really fast and I was all the way at the top and i was standing on the top and then I jumped off because I wanted to see if I could fly and believe it or not I did! So I flew away to a little island in the Pacific Ocean that no one knows about and I've been there for the past10 days and I just got back yesterday so I decided to take a break and not write.
You probably already know that was a lie... . Ok, so I was just really lazy, but now I'm not, so read it!

Too Much Sweet and Sour
Jeremy
2 times X over 4 to the 5th divided by 17 is less then or equal to 253..
Yeah, I know. Pathetic, right? I'm doing homework on a Friday night! Well, Ulrich was doing it with me, until he left to go get some snacks from the cafeteria. Ten minutes ago! TEN! I mean, it doesn't take ten minutes to go to the cafeteria, get food, and walk back up.
Trust me, I know. I timed myself one time.
What are you doing?
Just wait for him.
No, I'm not going to anymore!
Who's knocking? If it's Ulrich, he better have a lot of food! I think, as I lift myself off the chair and make my way through the papers and textbooks to the door.
But no, it's not Ulrich. It's Yumi.
Yumi, with her back to me.
Crying with her back to me.
"Yumi, what's wrong?" I ask, as I tap her shoulder. Her tears are gone when she turns to me, a smile in their place.
Let's just say I'm not very good at reading people...
What are you doing?
"Nothing, why do you ask? Never mind, is Ulrich here?" She asks, glancing to her right worriedly.
"Uhh, no, he went to get snacks... Ten minutes ago." Seriously, it only took me about five. I did it in half the time he did, and I'm not even athletic. Not one once of athleticism runs through my veins. Not that you really need to be athletic to get food..
"Good, because I just came here to tell you something... Something he can't know, alright?" She ran into my room and locked the door, pulling me and sitting me down beside her on the bed.
"Ok, so I'm going to say something, and I don't want you to say anything back until I've finished. Odd and Aelita weren't too good with that part, but please just try, okay?"
"Yes, Yumi.." I answer, still not getting any of it.
"Ok, you're like a brother to me, and I'm going to do something tonight you probably won't like. I just came to say goodbye." She stares at me, her eyes willing me to understand.
Just wait for him.
I'm pitiful! I'm the smartest guy, probably in the whole school, and can't even understand Yumi..
"Goodbye as in see you tomorrow, right?"
"Goodbye as in my parent's goodbye."
--Flashback--
I was sitting in my chair at the factory, waiting for Aelita to tell me if she had found anything on Lyoko. I had been getting weird readings all morning, so before history I took her to check it out.
Then her screen popped up, "Jeremy, I don't see anything. You think it was just a mix up?" she asks.
"I don't know, but I was getting something... Oh well, try checking over it one more time, then I'll materialize you so we can get back to school." I told her, as she smiled and closed out of the box.
My cheeks went red. Who am I kidding? Every time Aelita smiles at me I go red! It's like I'm a tomato or something..
Then her box came again, "Nothing here.. Nothing there.. nothings here, Jeremy!" She says in exasperation. Thats one thing I love about her, she never yells. Once again I blush, just thinking about her makes me do it too.
"Ok, let me get you back to Ear- Aelita, hold on, Ulrich's calling.."
"Ok, Jeremy."
I close her box and click on Ulrich's cell warning.
"What's up, Ulrich?...Oh my god, your kidding, right?...Well, how is she?...Yeah, okay. Tell her I'm really sorry and me and Aelita will be there in a minute... Yeah, bye." Quickly, I end the call and bring Aelita back.
"Aelita, you need to get back here, Yumi's parents just died!"
--End Flashback--
"Wait, your going to kill yourself! C'mon Yumi, don't go that far, I mean I underst-"
"No, I'm not going to kill myself! I'm just... Leaving." She says, holding a finger to hush me.
"Oh, okay, that's a relief. So, you'll be back tomorrow, right? I don't worry about that!"
No, I'm not going to anymore!
"No Jeremy, I won't be back tomorrow."
I kind of knew that this was about the Ulrich and Sissy incident. I had been reading Aelita's and Yumi's conversation during science. When Yumi wrote that it had happened during lunch, I cursed my math teacher for making stay back and do problems. Ulrich had thought it would be funny to call me and make my cell go off during class.
Yeah, haha. It was so funny...
"Then when will you be back?" I ask, suddenly realizing the meaning of her coming here.
"I don't know if I will be coming back.." There was uncertainty in her voice.
Gosh, why is my room suddenly the one everyone wants to come to! I think angrily, as another knock is heard.
I can see Yumi looking at the door with wide eyes. I can tell she think it's Ulrich, and personally I hope it's Ulrich, too.
He can get her to stay. Plus, I need to tell him off for not getting here for fifteen minutes now!
Here Yumi is, about to run off, and all you can think about is how Ulrich can't get back from the cafeteria! Yeah, that's me. Always worrying about little things.
"Oh, Aelita!" There my cheeks go again.. "Hey Odd! What are you doing here?"
They both ran past me like I wasn't even there, and headed straight for Yumi.
"Yumi, you cant!"
"Calm down, Yumi."
"Just stay and listen!"
"Let's wait until tomorrow and talk."
They aren't even talking to me, and the two are making my head spin. I knew Yumi was about to blow off her top.
"Leave me ALONE!" She screamed, running into my bathroom and shutting the door. Odd and Aelita just stared at it, like they didn't see it coming.
Yeah right, anyone could've called that..
"You guys better leave, I'll talk to her."
"Yeah, ok Jeremy.." Aelita said, looking like she was about to cry.
"Tell me what happens." Odd didn't even have that goofy smile he always has on. He always has that goofy smile on!
"Yumi, come out, they're gone!" I yell, after my two friends left. She opens the door and heads straight for the other one.
Then, I do the only thing I can think of. I grab her wrist and say, "Yumi, just wait for Ulrich to come back."
She stops, looking down at my hand, then looks into my eyes, "What are you doing?" She asks, in a somewhat disbelieving tone.
"Just wait for him." I grip tighter, feeling her about to pull away. Then, it was like in slow motion. She pulled away, opened the door, and just as I looked out to see her running down the hallway to the left, I see Ulrich coming from the other direction.
"No, I'm not going to anymore!" She screams back, finally grabbing Ulrich's attention as he turns just in time to see black hair flick behind the stairway.
"Nice timing, Ulrich." What can I say? Nothing. My basically sister just ran away. The one person who could've probably stopped her was about two seconds too late. And all because he took twenty minutes to get food from the cafeteria! IT ONLY TAKES FIVE!
What are you doing?
Just wait for him.
No, I'm not going to anymore!

--------------10 years later----------------------
"You getting them?...And you have everything you need?...Do you need some help?...No? Are you sure?...click" She hung up on me. Aelita hung up on me! Well, she did say I needed to get over to the field. And it sounded important...
Oh no, what if Aelita's getting hurt? Oh my god, I need to get over there!
I had asked Aelita to marry me about a year ago. She had said yes, luckily for my sanity, and now we were going to the wedding rehearsal. Tomorrow was the day. The big day. I had asked Aelita to get Odd and Ulrich, who were my best men, from the soccer field so we could do the rehearsal.
I knew the wedding was running hard on Aelita, though. She didn't even have a bridesmaid! I knew she wanted Yumi to do it, and if it wasn't Yumi, it wasn't anyone. And Yumi hadn't shown herself in this city for 10 years..
What are you doing? I've been trying to get those words to quit playing in my head, but they never quit. Of course, Aelita has it easy. She has only has two. But those were really the last words Yumi said to her, so it isn't exactly easy.
---------
By the time I get there, I'm sweating my butt off. Here I am, thinking Aelita's in this massive trouble, and when I drive up I see her smiling with Odd, Ulrich, Sissy, and..
Hold on, Yumi? No, no, that can't be Yumi! But..
"Yumi? Is that you?" I yell, jumping out of the car. The woman turns, and lets out a huge smile.
"Jeremy!"
Just wait for him.
I ran over and engulfed her in a hug, then stepped back and grabbed Aelita's hand. I sneak a glance at her. With her shoulder-length pink hair, soft features, and petite form, I could just melt. The blush on my cheeks could say I was on fire, but it's all the same.
"So, I heard about the good news!" Yumi says, pointing to us.
"Yeah, I told her." Aelita said, smiling at me.
"Yes, so am I invited to your wedding?" Sissy asked, an almost evil smile on her face.
"What do you think, Sissy?" Odd asked, giving her a rude hand gesture.
"Hey, Ulrich, you here with us, buddy?" I ask, waving a hand in front of his face. I knew he was staring at Yumi. Hell, everyone knew he was staring at Yumi. Everyone except Yumi, of course.
"Yeah.." He said, snapping out of his trance and looking away from the Japanese girl just as she looked backat him.
No, I'm not going to anymore!
Odd looks at me and winks, snickering as Ulrich glares daggers at him.
"So Yumi, you staying here?" I ask, trying to stop Odd from blurting out something about Ulrich's feelings. I don't really think this is the time for an Ulrich vs. Odd fight..
"I...Well, I haven't uhh..."
"Whatare you saying, your leaving again?" Ulrich speaks up, looking at Yumi with passion in his eyes. Love, sorrow, need, pleading all mixed into one. Is Yumi seriously the only one who doesn't know Ulrich loves her? Or maybe Ulrich is the only one who doesn't know Yumi loves him..
This is going to be interesting..
What are you doing?
Just wait for him.
No, I'm not going to anymore!

Just wait
Just for a while
Only a couple more seconds
He'll walk a mile

You two together
We all know it
You belong together
DunDunDun! Ok, ok, it's not that cheesey. ReViEw!
