Hacker Baron

Chapter 3: Inconveniences

The next day Jeremie, Odd, and Aelita were waiting in the schoolyard for Yumi and Ulrich to show up. Chip was also waiting in his holographic Chixie form. Draco was hiding in Chixie's backpack. Morph didn't need any care so he was left at the factory. Jeremie had been trying last night to discover the whereabouts of the Skipizoa but there was no clue at all.

Eventually Yumi and Ulrich showed up. Yumi was wearing all black like he always wore before the switch. Ulrich was wearing green shorts that went to her knees, a yellow T-shirt, and a green jacket, something like her normal wardrobe before the switch. "Hi Yumi! Hi Ulrich!" cried Odd. "Actually my name is Yami now," said Yumi. "And what's your new name?" asked Chixie. Ulrich looked around nervously before saying, "Ursula." Odd had to cover his mouth to keep himself from laughing. "Perhaps you need a drink," said a ticked-off Ursula. "I think I do," said Odd and went off to the vending machines. "How did you sleep last night?" asked Aelita. "I slept fine," said Yami. "I had a bit of trouble," said Ursula. Then Draco popped out of Chixie's backpack and said, "Here, have some chocolate," handing Ursula a bar. Ursula accepted this graciously. "Where did you get this chocolate?" asked Aelita. "In the nurse's office, why?" Chixie examined a wrapper and said, "Draco, you idiot, these are chocolate laxatives." "What's your point?" asked Draco. "Don't you know what laxatives do to you?" "What?" A few seconds later both Draco and Ursula felt pressure in their intestines. Draco leaped out of Chixie's backpack and ran into the woods. Ursula however ran towards the bathroom. But she accidentally went into the boy's bathroom. Jeremie held up his fingers and counted, "3, 2, 1." The second after that, a lot of commotion was heard in the bathroom. "Good thing no one will remember this when reality's back to normal," said Yami.

Later Yami had some troubles to deal with of his own. Since Ulrich was not there, Sissi was trying to Yami's attention. "Come on, I'm the best girl in school," said Sissi. "I told you, I'm looking for a girlfriend," said Yami. "What else to you have to pick from? Ursula? She is such a loser." Yami had a bit of trouble keeping his fist down. "Well I got to go. See you later," said Sissi. She winked once and ran off. "When everything is back to normal, I'm not going to protect Ulrich from her," muttered Yami. "He doesn't need any? Who would want to be her girlfriend?" He walked away feeling a little bit dirtier for some reason.

Ursula's problem hadn't ended at the bathroom. Now William was trying to talk with her. The worse part was that he was very persuasive. She felt a bit of his charm and was trying to throw it off. "Are you sure you don't want to go the café with me?" asked William. "Yes, I'm sure. I've got things to do." "Maybe I can help with them." "No, these are private things." "Okay then, see you later." As Ursula walked away she shivered. "Man, he's good," she whispered to herself

But now an even bigger problem was coming. People at the computer store were running out screaming. Inside, one of the computers had gone berserk. Black sparks and evil laughter surrounded it. Then the monitor, speakers, and CPU was sucked into a small black vortex and combined into a much larger machine. The machine left the computer store and headed for the school. "This is going to be highly amusing," said the machine.
