a/n: Oh my gosh you guys! Guess what! I actually got one more review! Holy crap! This is so exciting I think I just defocated myself! Now get this here was their question, did you just pick the gum question by random? That was from killerpurplekitten ya'll. Thank you killerpurplekitten. Ha! Try saying that 10 times fast! Anyways to answer that question, yes. Just a little something I thought about as I stuck two pieces of gum in my mouth absent-minded-ly. Well, please get other people to read this and r&r, I am going into a deep state of depression without any reviews from fans. (stabbs self with a rusty screw driver) Ow! That's going to sting. Enjoy!

Time jump! In the middle of a winter snow storm. School has been cancled due to no one being able to get into the classrooms, and Ulrich and Battle have been keeping their little date at 6:00pm constant. Battle's POV:

I starred at the screen of my glowing computer for what I thought was an eternety. I had been shocked at what blue had written me.

blue:i cant stnd it any longer! i need to find out who u r! meet me in the woods in the clearing in 10min

He wanted to meet me? NOW? I have to admit that I had been developing this wierd warm feeling whenever I talked to him, and I didn't think that I was quite ready to meet him yet. But, against my own will, I found myself typing out my answer shakily back.

smooches: alright

I slumped back into my chair. Then I began to panic. What was I going to wear? I jumped up and scuttled over to my mirror re-applying all of my makeup and re-gelling my hair. I then rushed to my wardrobe and pulled out a dark green turtleneck, jeans, winter coat, and snowboots. I then reached under my bed and yanked out bright red earmuffs and a pair of gloves.

Once I was finnished I turned to my window and pushed it open. Wind gusted around me telling me that the storm was still raging. What a stupid idea to go out into the forest. Couldn't we have just met in the hall or something? I smiled all the same, thinking that it had it's romantic hint to it. I stuck one leg over the side, and had goose bumps erupt all over myself.Fuck this is cold! I got my head out next, and then my remaining leg. I grabbed a ruler from my desk and propped open my window.

Okay then...how am I going to get down? I wondered looking around. I spotted aicy storm draintrailing down to the ground, so I made my way over slowly. When I reached the bottom my face was nearly frozen stiff. But I was determined to meet this mystery guy!I folded my arms over my chest and bent my head down.

As soon as I got far enough into the trees the wind wasn't as bad. At leased I could see where I was going. I had found the clearing a few months before, and me and blue had talked about how nice it was, he even shared some of the memories he had had there with this other girl he knew. He had already told me everything about her too. And everytime one of us got onto the subject of it, I could tell that he was being torn up inside. I would feel a wrenching in my chest, thinking that he was somewhere having to live through his pain. But, when we were on a happier note, we would even flirt with each other playfully. That was when I got that warmpth that would spread itself through my entire body. It gave me comfort, and I smiled every time I would think of him.

The clearing was just through these trees. I stopped. I stood there breathing for a few minutes. Should I go? Nah. But what if... But what if what? ... Yeah that's right what if it was someone you really didn't like? Ever think of that there princess? No, but... There are no but's, just turn around and head back. Say you got lost or something. No I'm not listening to you. I want to meet him. Be my guest, but if you don't like the outcome then don't come crying to me.

I shook my head and took a deep breath. Well, I guess I could just take a little peak first...

I edged around a tree and peered at the person standing on the other side. I nearly fainted. God no! Let it be anyone other than him! I clutched tightly at the trunk for support as I began to cry softly. Ulrich was standing on the other side of the clearing. The one person that I despised, I also carred for. I turned abruptly and sobbed with my back on the tree.

Ulrich's POV:

I had been waiting for about five minutes when I heard a sob come from the other side of the clearing. I gazed over in bewilderment at the sound and took a step towards the source. As I neared the crying it became louder and I began to think, I hope that she's not crying because of me. I didn't think I was that bad looking.

I was right behind the tree she was behind. I gulped and wished that this would end alright. In one swift move I reached around the tree, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into my chest. There was a gasp as she thumped against me and I laughed.

"You weren't crying because of me were you?" I said holding her close. She was so warm! It felt wonderful. Like electricity running through me.

"Yes." came a muffled sob.

"Why is that?" I said chuckling trying to take my first look at her. She struggled, and so I stopped.

"Before you see who I am, let me just say something. I love you. I couldn't place the feeling I had when I talked with you, but now I understand. I've fallen for you. And...I don't care what you will think of me after this, but I...I just wanted you to know." I was stunned. We stood there in silence, until I slowly reached down. I placed my hand underneath her chin and slowly raized her head.

"Oh..." I gasped as I saw the frozen tear stained face of Battle. I couldn't belive it. The person that I loathed with all my being was the same person that I...that I...

"I'm sorry." she whispered as she pushed herself away from me. I was left there in stunned silence. After a while I got a hold of myself and I began to trudge back to the dorms.

Battle's POV:

I ran all the way back to my room, and after I shoved myself through the window, I collapsed onto my bed sobbing, fully clothed. I am so stupid! How am I going to live through this? God! Why? I want to die. Kill me now! I cried, and cried, and cried until no more tears came. Then I just lay there shuddering and sniffing. Oh well. I guess I can live through this. What are you talking about? You loved him! Of course you arn't going to live through it. Love. Wha? You said that I loved him. Ya. That means in the past tense kind of love.You Still love him? Yes. Good lord. Good night.

At that I rolled over an fell asleep.

Ulrich's POV:

"Odd! Wake up! Odd!" I said shaking him forcibly.

"If you're not dying, then you had better have a goodreasonfor waking me up." Odd said groggily rubbing his eyes.

Immediatly after he saw the tears and the look on my face he was wide awake.

"Ulrich...what happened?"

I just shook my head and let a few more tears slide down my face.

"Dude tell me!" he said taking a hold of my shoulders and gazing at me intently.

"Alright! You know how I was going to ask my pen-pal to meet me..."

"Oh no..."

"Well, I just met her. And it was...was..."

"Was who? Come on man tell me!"

"Battle." I said completely breaking down.

"Dear lord. Well, if you don't like her so much then why are you crying?"

"B-because I l-love her!"

Odd just sat there looking like he was just slapped by a naked lady that had a beard and a hairlip.

"What?"

I just sat there crying my eyes out like a little baby.

"Ulrich...I don't know what to say man." he said patting me awkwardly on the shoulder, "My advice would be to forget about her."

I knodded slowly with tears still escaping down my face. I got up and went over to my bed. And when I was under the covers Odd turned off the light. I cried myself to sleep, and all the while thinking of Battle.

Time jump. Lunch. Ulrich's POV:

I watched her cross the cafeteria and throw away her untouched food. I saw that she had dark circles under her eyes and her short hair looked tousled. She's probably a mirror image of me. I thought looking back down to my own undisturbed food. It was completely silent at our table. No one wanted to upset me. Odd had woken up early and told Jeremey and Aelita what had happened.

I glanced back at her just as she was looking over at me. Our eyes locked and we looked at each other with sad expressions. She finally gave an almighty sob and covered her face with her hands as she dashed out through the doors to the hallway.

I don't think that I am going to be able to handle this any longer. I will go mad! You big baby. You need to suck it up and be a man you weenie! She is the enemy!I know...but...I love her. Hmph. What? I WANT YUMI BACK! What happened to that there buddy? There's a difference though. That was just a crush. I love Battle. Whatever dude.

I got up from the table and threw away my food. I went through the rest of the day in a trance. In every class everyone knew something was going on between Battle and I, so they kept their mouths shut. I was glad, 'cause I really didn't want to talk with anyone. And neither did Battle by the looks of it. In every class she was sniffling and definitly not giving the lessons any attention at all. Ms. Fechner even had the nerve to ask her what the three different types of psycopaths there were.

All she said was, "I don't give a damn."

Ms. Fechner looked shaken up, and normally I would have aplauded this kind of remark, but I just felt a sharp pang in my heart.

After the day was done I decided that I needed to take a long walk since the blizzard had subsided.So, I got up and headed outdoors. The sunset glistened over the snow banks like jewels. Purples, oranges, pinks, you name it. It was beautiful. I crunched through the snow next to the trees watching this magnificence take place. That was when I spotted her.

She was sitting a few yards away on a bench facing away from me and towards the sunset. I watched as tears slid down her face and dripped down onto the snow. She was beautiful. I had absolutely no clue why I had never noticed this before, but it was definitly apparent now. I took a deep breath and walked over to her.

As soon as I sat down she gasped and took a frightened look at me.

She made a move to get up, but I said, "Wait! Don't go."

She froze. Then she settled herslef back down next to me.

"Listen Battle I-" I began, but she cut me off.

"It's okay. You don't need to tell me anything. I under stand." she whimpered standing up and taking a few stepps away.

"No. You don't understand." I said getting up and grabbing her elbow.

"Just let me talk ok?" I said tears welling up in my own eyes.

She stood there silently.

"Battle...I-I love you." I said the tears finally spilling over, "We definitly didn't get off on the right foot, and that is most definitly all my fault. I wanted to say that I was sorry. For everything."

I reached my hand up to her face and wipped away the tears with my thumb smiling down at her through my own. She closed her eyes and a smile lit up her features. I couldn't believe it! I was so happy. Even happier then when I had Yumi in my life.

I had absolutely no idea what came over me next, but I bent my head down and kissed her. Time had stopped. We kissed, and kissed, for an hour, or a day, or a month, maybe even a year I really didn't care. When we broke apart we embraced. She had her head resting on my chest and I had my head on top of hers. A perfect fit.

Time jump! 10min. later. Battle's POV:

We had made our way up to his room, and when we opened the door we found Odd, Aelita, and Jeremy all stuffed into the room. And when they saw us come in, their jaws dropped.

"Hey you guys, um, could we have the room for ourselves tonight?" Ulrich said smiling widely down at me, and in turn I smiled up at him.

Odd just knodded and hurried the other two out the door. And a few seconds later it was silent. Ulrich moved over to the desk lamp that was on and placed his hand on the switch.

"I love you." we both said in unison as the light clicked off.
