AN: Alright! You guys broke the record of most reviews for a chapter in my story by giving me a whopping 16 reviews! You all are so great! Okay, well this is the last chapter of my story, Lost Forever in a Tragedy? So enjoy this chapter my faithful readers! (By the way, this chapter sort of starts off as a re-cap. It's before Ulrich asked his question.)
Chapter 18: Amazing News!
The two reunited friends sat in silence as the fire in the fireplace burned away. It was a lovely scene. Like something you'd see in a movie. Two people who obviously have feelings for each other, sitting in front of a fire, just enjoying each other's presence.
Ulrich broke the silence finally, and asked a question that had been itching in the back of his head since they had started their conversation.
"So, how did you get all the way in America?" he asked the beautiful girl next to him.
"Ulrich that is a completely different story!" Yumi replied. "I've got all the time in the world." Ulrich said back.
"Well, after I figured that I could never have the life I once lived, I just… ran away. I didn't know where I was going, or who I'd meet, but I was sure it would end up okay." She stopped for a split second to glance at Ulrich, who was listening intently, soaking up every word she spoke with her enchanting voice.
She continued. "I ventured further down into Paris, and unfortunately, the cops saw me. But with luck, they didn't recognize me as Yumi Ishiyama. I guess I was too out of town for the word to have gotten around that I was missing.
"However, they asked me why 'a young girl like me' was out all alone. I said I was just hanging out, and of course they asked where my parents were, and I didn't answer fast enough, and since they already had suspicions about me, they brought me down to the station and asked what my name was. The fastest thing I could come up with was Miyu, since it's an anagram of my name. Of course they asked for my last name, so I made up Yoko. It sounded Japanese enough, and all I did was take off the L in Lyoko.
"They checked in their computer for a Miyu Yoko, and obviously didn't find me, so they sent me to an orphanage! I was at the orphanage for about two weeks before adoptions were being made.
"Alina Ulmer, a huge celeb, found me first. Apparently, adopting foreign kids was in. So automatically, I was in. I became Miyu Ulmer, she became my mother, and we moved to America. Don't get me wrong, Alina is a sweetheart, but I really wish I were back home with my real mom." Yumi trailed off here and let Ulrich speak.
"Wow that must have been so hard for you! I can't believe you went through all that pain, just to save our butts! You know what Yumi? You are truly an amazing person. I'm so glad I found you again…" Ulrich trailed off as well.
Yumi looked up to see him with a huge smile plastered on his face. He was so cute, that she just had to smile too. "I'm glad we found each other again too Ulrich."
Yumi didn't see what was coming next. It was all happening so fast, but yet, so slowly, and affectionately. The two moved in closer, and closer, scooting over so they could reach one another.
The fire leapt, as if showing that it knew what was coming next. Yumi was so close to Ulrich's face, she could fell his trembling breath upon hers. This was her dream come true wasn't it? So why was she so scared? It's because it's Ulrich, her true love, that's why.
In an instant, their lips met and their eyes closed. Ulrich kept tumbling over his thoughts as he said to himself that yes, this really was happening. Her lips are so soft, and she is so perfect. I can't believe she is finally in my arms where she belongs. He thought.
Somehow Ulrich's arms had managed to hold onto Yumi's slim waist, and her arms found their way around Ulrich's neck. He pulled her closer and she hugged him tighter. He whispered something in her ear that would stay in her heart forever.
"I love you Yumi, never forget that." Ulrich loosened his grip on his Yumi, and looked into her gorgeous eyes. She looked as though she were so happy, she was ready to cry. "I love you too Ulrich." She said just as romantically.
But what was said next from Ulrich will never be known, for his cell phone rang obnoxiously. Ulrich had to pick it up. What if it were his parents wondering where in the heck he was, even though he had told them he was at a party. Knowing them, they probably thought he was with some girl, ruining both their lives.
Sure, he was with a girl, but not just any girl, Yumi Ishiyama. And they were only making their lives feel more… complete with that kiss they had both been waiting for, for at least three years.
But it wasn't Ulrich's parents, it was Jeremie. Ugh, bad time to call buddy! Ulrich thought as he looked up at Yumi. Her eyes asked who it was. "It's Jeremie." He answered back to her silent question.
"Well, pick it up! He deserves to talk to his friend who I'm sure he hasn't seen for a while." She was referring to Ulrich, but Ulrich wanted to share the good news with his best friends, so he answered it by the fourth ring.
"Hey Jer, what's up?" Ulrich asked casually. "You won't believe this Ulrich!" Jeremie started. Yea, you won't believe what I have to say either. Ulrich thought with a smirk.
Jeremie continued. "Aelita has just sent me a message!"
AN: So, how was that for an ending? I'm really sorry to say that this story has ended. I had a lot of fun writing it, and of course reading all of the awesome reviews I got! But sadly, this story has come to an end. On the other hand, you can tell there's going to be a sequel! Thanks to everyone for supporting the idea! Anyways, look out for my next story called Returning Home. You can guess what may happen by just looking at the title. Anyways, based on how many reviews I get, and how soon I get them, the sooner I will start my next story! Thank you all again! Here are the names of the reviewers that helped with the record of 16 reviews for my last chapter. Think you can break that record?
