Chapter 18: Locked Out

:Yumi P.O.V.:

It took almost a 2 hour drive to get all the way to Philadelphia.

Ulrich and I sat together in the back, while Odd and Lia sat across from us, and Jeremie and Aelita sat in front.

Ulrich and I were giving each other little kisses, Odd and Lia were busy babbling away (as usual), Odd's arm around her, and Aelita was seemingly comfortable, snuggled in Jeremie's arms.

It was all good.

"Yumi? Why are you so beautiful?" Ulrich whispered in my ear, softly playing with my hair.

I rolled her eyes, "Because I am, lover boy."

I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, though he made it more intense- which I really didn't mind.

He stared at me lovingly, and I smiled at him.

"You don't look half bad yourself." I said, as I leaned into him, and he held onto me.

He looked down at me and captured my lips in another kiss.

Which I couldn't help but give in and kiss him back.

:Normal P.O.V.:

Everyone piled off the bus, wanting to get a whiff of fresh air as the bus was stuffy.

"Ahh." Ulrich said, stretching.

(A/N: They're in like the old part of Philly. Like where the Congress Hall is, and blah. Well, for now.)

"Hello there." A 60-year old, colonial-dressed, curly black haired woman said, "Welcome to Philadelphia, I'll be showing you around this place."

The principal beamed, walked over to the woman and gave her a hug.

(A/N: All right, I took this tour of Philly a while ago. I'm basing this tour thingy out of a school trip. My memory's kinda foggy, I haven't been there for a while now! So please bear with me!)

"Students, this is my long-time classmate, Anna-Beth. She'll be our tour guide, and will be showing us the many educational sites in Philadelphia."

The students groaned inwardly.

"Now let's go!" The woman said, motioning for the students to follow.

The students trudged along, following the bouncy woman.

"You know, I really give her credits for doing this every day. I mean, she's in a long-sleeve dress in a sunny, hot day!" Aelita said.

Yumi nodded, "Yeah. I would DIE."

Lia agreed as well. The boys were behind them, chatting.

They came up to the girls after a little bit.

"Hey girls! Want a chip?" Odd offered, holding out a bag of potato chips.

"Nah, I'd rather want this." Lia replied, smirking devilishly, as she put her mouth on his.Ulrich, Jeremie, Aelita, and Yumi laughed. Lia was so unpredictable at times…

"We'll leave you to your business, lovebirds." Ulrich sniggered, and walked away with the rest of the gang.

Lia moaned, as Odd's tongue roamed her mouth.

"Ahem." A deep voice coughed.

Odd and Lia sprang apart immediately, blushing deeply.

"You better not be doing that again!" Jim boomed, "Or I'll make sure you'll get detention for a WEEK. I sent a warning to your little friend there a few days ago!"

He walked away muttering to himself, "Kids today…"

Odd and Lia blushed again, and held hands as they caught up to their friends, and followed the tour guide.

"And this," Anna-Beth said, "Is Benjamin Franklin's grave. He's my favorite person in American past-time, and well-known. Why, if he wasn't alive, then you wouldn't even have electricity today!"

(Okay, maybe you would, but whatever.)

"It is said that if you toss a coin on his grave you'll have good fortune!" She concluded.

"Might as well try my luck…" Yumi shrugged, as she took out a penny and gently tossed it onto the grave.

"And here," Anna-Beth continued, "Is Betsy Ross's house!"

They were across the street from a very colonial-looking house with the American Flag on the roof.

"Though it might not be Betsy Ross's house, because there was two identical houses, and-" Anna-Beth babbled on and on, and the students were falling asleep- even the Principal himself.

"Daddy!" Sissy hissed, "This is so stupid! Why can't we go somewhere else and ditch this whacked lady! SHE WON'T STOP TALKING!"

"Dear, she's telling us educational information, and it'll be a big help for you on your grades and such, honey-"

"I DON'T CARE!" She screamed.

"You don't care about what, dear?" Anna-Beth asked, looking at Sissy concerned.

"Oh, nothing."

"All right then, now let's go."

They trudged on to the First Congress House, the Second Congress House, a really old church where Benjamin Franklin once worshipped in, And then, of course, came… THE GIFT SHOP! (Sorry, I LOVE gift shops even if they are really expensive.) "Kawaii!" Yumi picked up a soft teddy bear, and examined it. "It's cute, but can't you get it cheaper back in France? It's the same exact thing, isn't it?" Lia pointed out. Yumi rolled her eyes as if that was the stupidest thing she'd ever heard, "Yeah, but it has Philadelphia on it!" The others sweat dropped. "I'll buy it for you," Ulrich volunteered, "Anything else you want?" He draped his arm around the Japanese girl's slender shoulders. "No, it's all- Ooh! Ulrich! What do you think of this cute stuffed animal?" Yumi squealed, rushing over to a counter of stuffed animals, tugging a certain brunette boy along.

"Mm, Ulrich is really head-over-heels for her isn't he?" Odd commented, sniggering.

"Hasn't he been since forever?" Jeremie questioned.

"Well…" Odd thought for a minute then answered, "Yeah," "Ulrich sure does buy everything," Aelita commented. "Obviously, he's rich," Lia rolled his eyes, "He's got lots to spend,"

"Who?" Yumi questioned, returning to the group with Ulrich in tow, who was exasperatedly carrying a rather bulging large bag of souvenirs, "Who's got lots to spend?"

"Uh- um!" Lia stuttered, thinking in rapid succession, "Tom Cruise! Yes! He has uh, lots to spend! Because, of course, um, he's famous! Duh!"

At Yumi's suspicious look, she seemed to shrink as she just grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head, "Hehe…"

Yumi ignored it as she motioned for Ulrich to come closer and give her the bag.

Ulrich thrust the bag to his girlfriend happily.

The Japanese girl rummaged through the large bag and found a gigantic teddy bear, then presented it to Aelita and Lia, "Isn't this the most adorable thing ever?"

The two girls gasped, "Its so adorable!" they squealed girlishly, losing all common sense.

"Hello?" Odd tapped his girlfriend's shoulder, as he pouted. "What about me?"

Lia gently pushed his face closer to hers as she kissed him softly, "Of course, I love you more than anything else,"

Odd grinned triumphantly. It was obvious he wanted a make-out session with the beautiful blonde next to him, but he concluded to himself that he would have to wait.

"Everybody, come here! Headcount; we're going back to the hotel!" Mr. Delmas shouted across the small Gift Shop.

Yumi sighed, and put the big teddy bear back inside the large shopping bag, then hugged Ulrich and kissed him on the cheek, "Thanks, I love you,"

"Love you too," Ulrich smiled at her retreating back, a tint of pink on his cheeks.

'I'd do anything for her,' he suddenly thought, grinning as she giggled and talked with her friends.

"He's doing that staring-into-space thing againnn!" Odd groaned in a teasing way to Jeremie.

"Doesn't he always?" Mr. Know-it-all pointed out yet again.

Odd was silent, then answered after some serious Odd thinking do the math, it adds up to the normal person's 5-second thought, "Hmm… oh yeah!"

Jeremie sweat dropped.

"Who spaces out?" Ulrich snapped out of his daze and turned to his guy friends.

"Oh nobody!" Jeremie grinned, and earned a suspicious look from Ulrich.

"Like girlfriend, like boyfriend," Odd whispered to his bespectacled friend. Then had some serious Odd thinking yet again and whispered again to Jeremie, "Or is the other way around?"

Jeremie shook his head. Instead of giving his… "less-intelligent" friend an intelligent answer, he just sighed and said, "Yeah, sure Odd,"

Odd looked confusingly at his friend, "Huh? Which way is it?"

"Uh- it's both,"

"OH COOL," Odd cried.

Up ahead, the three girls were busy talking.

"Aw, Ulrich really loves you Yumi," Lia sniggered at her friend.

"Psh," Yumi couldn't help to smile at the true comment, "I love him too, he's just so perfect," She sighed contentedly, "Out of all the girls at school, he picked me,"

"Well, why wouldn't he?" Aelita questioned, "You're nice, you're pretty, you two are perfectly compatible,"

Yumi just shrugged at the compliments. "I guess…"

The two other girls sweat dropped and Lia was about to say something but she was interrupted by the principal.

"Students- we are here," he shouted, over the crowd of students. Then he turned to Jim, "You. Go get everyone their numbers and such. I need a break,"

He power-walked briskly into the hotel before Jim could retort.

"OKAY EVERYONE!" he boomed so loudly and frustrated that other tourists stared at him as if he were insane. Well… in a way, he was. "GO INTO THE HOTEL, NOW. I'M GIVING YOU YOUR ROOM NUMBERS,"

The students yelled happily as they rushed in, stepping over Jim in the process.

"OWWWW," he moaned in pain after the herd of students had rushed in. He held onto his stomach painfully as he limped back to the hotel. He whipped out a piece of paper, and snatched a megaphone from the receptionist desk. …? Deal with it…

"Everyone is getting the same roommate and room number from before!" he spoke into the megaphone. "Come up here and take your keys," Again, deal with it… I'm a complete lazy bum today.

He called out the different room numbers and handed out the keys, then shooed them away.

'Phew,' the fat man thought, 'That's taken care of,'

And clutching his stomach, he trudged on to his room.

The students found their last roomies happily and ran to their rooms in excitement, their eyes glancing each and every way for their room numbers.

"Yes!" Yumi did a high-five with her two roomies.

"We have to definitely call room service when we're there," Lia said, "Seriously, I'm starved,"

Yumi rolled her eyes as Aelita called out, "Here it is!"

"Who has the card?" Yumi questioned.

"Meee!" Lia reached into her jean pocket to retrieve her room card. She did a little gesture before she slid the card into the machine. The machine popped it out, and the door opened.

"Ta-Da!" Lia grinned, as she ran into the luxurious room. The carpeting was dark red and flowered. A large Plasma TV sat on a vast cabinet that reached from almost one end of the room to the next. The bathrooms had a Jacuzzi, with little soaps and shampoos.

Cabinets stood next to each of the two beds, with digital clocks that quietly ticked away.

"Aw man, there's only three beds!" Lia groaned.

"Mm-hmm, and look who's sleeping on the spare sleeping bag tonight?" Aelita smirked, as she and Yumi quickly claimed the beds with a malevolent grin.

"Hmph, well, I can always sleep with Odd, can't I?" Lia replied innocently, a twinkle in her eyes.

"… Mmm…" Yumi snuggled with a pillow and hugged it. "You go ahead and go on the bed with him, Lia. You go right ahead, I don't even wanna know."

"… Dude. We're not that dirty, aiight?" Lia glowered.

"Oh yeah, sure. Tell us when you're having a baby," Aelita teased, joining in with Yumi's uncontrolled giggles.

"FINE! I WILL!" Lia stomped to the door, and gave them a final look. Then shut the door with a loud slam.

Yumi and Aelita slowly turned their heads towards each other.

"No way, she's not… but she's…" Yumi gaped.

"… Oh my god. ... That's just… wrong." Aelita slammed her head against her pillow, "We were just joking!"

"Should we just let her have 'fun'? Or is SHE joking?" Yumi pondered.

"…" Aelita didn't even have to say anything. Running out of their beds, they raced towards the door, opened it hastily, and raced down the hall, screaming, "LIA!"

Lia stood there in the corner of their bedroom door, smirking. The door was left ajar. It was about to close, but Lia caught it.

"Got'cha…" Lia smirked to herself, as she pranced into her bedroom and locked the door. "Plasma all to myself… three beds… life is good."

She shook her head, and grinned malevolently, as she pushed her friends' bags off the bed, and dumped her stuff on it.

She turned on the TV, still laughing inwardly at her little joke. And the girls would have no way to get in, either. She still had the room card…

---

"LIA! LIAAAA!" the two girls shrieked.

They stopped short as they located their boyfriends' room. They knocked on the door rapidly, panting hard, not really knowing what to expect.

"Hey girls," Ulrich greeted, kissing Yumi daintily on the lips.

Yumi didn't have enough time to kiss back, as much as she wanted to. "Have you seen Lia?"

"Nope," he answered, puzzled.

"Are you sure?" Aelita pestered.

"Yeah, the last time I saw her, she was with you,"

"Where's Odd?" the two girls demanded.

"Uhh…" he turned his head and shouted, "ODD!"

"HOLD ON, I'M DOING MY HAIR," Odd screamed back.

"He likes it pointy. Thinks it can stab people or something," Ulrich rolled his eyes.

Odd then opened the door and pranced out. "Hey guys,"

"You mean girls?"

"Mm hmm, whatever. What's up?"

"You seen Lia?" they asked.

"No…"

"… Maybe she's not here yet." Yumi told Aelita.

"No, I would think she would be here by now." Aelita replied.

"Huh? Why? For what?" Odd was very, very curious by now.

"Oh… it's nothing, Odd."

"… I wanna know!" he wailed.

"Should we tell him?" Yumi whispered in Aelita's ear.

"Nahh." She hissed back.

"Oh well," Aelita shrugged, as she and her companion raced off.

"Hmm… what was that all about?" Ulrich raised an eyebrow at their retreating forms.

"Eh, they're girls. That's what girls do," Odd shrugged, as he went back to the bathroom to gel his hair.

----

Yumi and Aelita raced through the hotel in a mere 15 minutes.

They ended back in their hotel room.

"Maybe this was just a hallucination," Aelita said, trying to open the door.

"… It's locked."
