A/n thanks so much to Laura for all her help! THANKS SO MUCH! I'm bringing a new character into the story. Laura designed her because I have no creativity and she's good at it. But she's still mine so hands off.
The end of the week came with out further interruption from Xana. Dylan had returned to school on Wednesday. Nicole had spent Thursday night at her parents house, so she met the guys on campus.
"hey Nikki." Dylan waved from the back of the bench. Nicole yawned and waved back.
"what's with the chop sticks?" Jason asked noticing the black glass chop sticks in her hair.
"they're from my Grandma. She sent them last year for my birthday. Her and Grandpa coming up tonight from Japan, and mom said I had to wear them out of respect." she said plopping down on the ground in front of the bench. "
so, I plan on going to the Stables tonight. Anyone wanna come?" she asked. Jason laughed.
"so much for respect." Dylan looked confused.
"Lunier Stables?" (a/n Lune-ear) he asked. Nicole rolled her eyes.
"no the other stables in Kadic." she said sarcastically. (a/n let's pretend that's the name of the city they live in k?) he gave her a small glare.
"I'd love to go but I cant. Mom and dad want to work on the you-know-what with me there." he said. Jason laughed.
"he doesn't want to go because Kia lee Lunier's Grandfather owns the stables." he said with a smirk. Dylan blushed.
"that's not it! Really mom and dad need me tonight." he defended. Just then a girl about 5' 5" walked up to them. She had waist long red hair that had small curls at the ends and grayish blue eyes. She had on a pair of dark blue jeans and a pink v-striped shirt with a v-cut neck. (a/n like >>>only up and down)
"hey Kia lee." Nicole waved. Dylan's mouth snapped shut and he turned around.
"hey guys. Dylan, I didn't get to talk to you yesterday. How are you feeling?" she asked. Dylan blinked.
"oh right. I just had a virus. I'm fine." he managed. The first bell rang.
"well see you guys in class." Kia lee walked away.
"saved by the bell." Jason laughed.
"Jason are you coming to the stables with me?" Nicole asked.
"Those horses hate me." he stated plainly.
"will you come?" she gave him her best puppy eyes. He sighed.
"fine." she smiled and hopped up from the ground.
"meet you out front after school then." They headed to first hour. The day dragged on with out incident.
"the weekend finally." Jason said stretching his arms up as they walked out of Kadic.
"yeah. Have fun at the riding stables." Dylan patted him on the back and headed for the factory. Jason muttered under his breath as he started walking in the opposite direction towards where Nicole was standing. He stopped short as he seen Bryan walking towards her.
"hey angel. Who you waiting for?" he asked resting his elbow on her shoulder. Normally she would have stood there and let him continue to bother her, this time, however, she knocked his elbow down and turned face-to-face with him.
"don't you have somewhere to be loser?" she asked coldly. He looked taken back.
"what's a matter angel? You're not mad are you?" he asked regaining his composer. She narrowed her eyes and growled a little. "first, I'm not your angel. Second, yes I'm mad! That you think you can follow me around and treat me like you know me! You. Don't. Know. Squat!" she spat in his face. With that she turned and stormed away. Jason laughed and caught up with her.
"fighters sprit finally showing it's self I see." he said with a grin. Nicole blushed as they headed towards the stables.
"yeah well I got sick of him." she said looking straight ahead.
"Nick, you scared the crap out of him. I thought he was gonna cry." Jason laughed. Nicole smiled a little.
"it did feel pretty good." they walked into the Lunier Stables.
"come on lets go get the horses. Mr. Lunier said I can ride anytime I want as long as I feed and brush the horses before I leave." In the barn were 4 horses. Stella, Luna, Star, and Celeste. (A/n get it? All have to do with stars, moons, ect?)
"Dibs on Celeste cause she's the fastest!" Nicole laughed running to The black horse. Celeste had a white spot on her forehead and one on her right side. She reached into her bag and got an apple before tossing her bag onto the floor.
"here you go girl." she gave the horse the apple before going to get the bridles.
"Dibs on Stella cause she's the only one that doesn't want to kill me when ever she sees me." Jason said with a little less enthusiasm. He walked to the brown and white horse. Nicole ducked into the corner of the barn and grabbed a saddle.
"these are sweet horses. They wouldn't hurt a fly." she put the saddle up on Stella and went to get one for Celeste. Nicole got up on the horse with little problem. She laughed as Jason finally pulled himself up.
"ok where are we going?" he asked.
"lets just take the trail." they started out of the barn. Stella, surprisingly, didn't give Jason a hard time and caught up to walk side-by-side with Nicole and Celeste.
"ok so it's 3 and grandma and grandpa get here at 7." she said as they rode.
"so we have to ride for 4 hours?" Jason asked. Nicole laughed. "no, of course not. It takes some time to groom and feed the horses to." Jason sighed in relief. "good."
At about 5:30 Jeremy and Aelita finished the second phase of the anti-virus. It was to get rid of the link between Dylan and Xana.
"Dylan go down to the scanners." Jeremy said as he finished downloading the code onto the super computer.
"why do I even stay up here if you're just gonna keep sending me down there?" Dylan asked sighing, and standing up from his homework.
"because you can cause less trouble up here where I can see you." Aelita joked from where she was working on Jeremy's laptop. Dylan rolled his eyes and headed down to the scanners. Ulrich shook his head as he started his third pile of folders.
"there are days I wonder if we were like that." he laughed. Jeremy smirked.
"at least you were." Aelita rolled her eyes. Here they go again.
"oh because you were a perfect child." Ulrich said sarcastically.
"I don't like to brag." Jeremy smiled.
"but you do anyways." Ulrich smirked opening another folder. Jeremy opened his mouth to continue the argument but Ulrich cut him off.
"hey look at this." he tossed Jeremy a disk.
"what is it?" Aelita asked.
"it's part of your anti-virus I was working on, but I didn't need it. Maybe I can use it now." he loaded it into the computer.
"hey." he paused and studied the data.
"this could work."
Jason and Nicole were racing about 2 hours later.
"I'm so gonna beat you Jas!" Nicole yelled. Celeste was having no problem staying in front of Stella.
"last one to the tree has to buy me a soda!" Jason yelled back.
"hey don't you mean has to buy the other a soda?" Nicole asked over her shoulder. Jason smirked.
"nope." He looked up at the sky.
"we should head back. There's a storm coming." he said.
"you just don't want to get beat." Nicole laughed as they neared an old, and very large, tree.
"seriously Nikki, the sky's like black." Jason insisted slowing Stella to a trot. He continued to stare at the ominous sky. Just then there was a loud clap of thunder. Nicole screamed, spooking Celeste. The horse threw Nicole and started galloping in a large circle unsure where to go to get away from the storm.
"Nicole!" Jason screamed quickly getting off Stella. He ran to where Nicole sat clutching her arm to her chest.
"are you ok?" he ask as the rain started pouring. Nicole shuddered.
"I think it's just bruised." She rolled her wrist.
"we need to get out of this storm." Jason helped her to her feet.
"Celeste!" she yelled. The horse had calmed down a bit.
"come on girl it's ok!" she said grabbing hold of her reigns. She petted her head.
"come on we need to get back to the barn." Jason said getting on Stella. Nicole followed. She held her injured arm across her chest still as they rode back towards the barn. It was all she could do to keep from shuddering more, and the rain continued to pour heavy, and the thunder and lightning rumble every few minutes. Jason looked over to Nicole a few times as she jumped from the noise.
"you ok?" he asked over the rain. She looked at him.
"let's just get back." There was another clap of thunder. Nicole shivered, and the hairs on her neck raised. Finally, after 15 minutes of riding in the rain, they reached the Barn. Nicole jumped off and ran to open the doors. An older man was waiting inside with towels.
"thanks Mr. Lunier." Nicole said as Jason brought the horses in. Nicole dried her face off and started to take the saddles and bridles off Stella and Celeste. She pushed up her sleeves.
"what happened to your arm girl?" Mr. Lunier gasped noting the quickly turning purple bruises.
"oh. The storm spooked Celeste." Nicole said quietly.
"don't you mean your blood curdling scream?" Jason laughed. Nicole blushed a deep crimson as she closed the barn doors.
"are you hurt?" Mr. Lunier asked. Nicole shook her head. Jason hung up the bridle and glanced over and Nicole.
"I was only kidding Nikki." he said. Nicole took off her soaked hoddie and wrung it out.
"it's fine." she hung it up on a hook next to Celeste's stable.
"brush out Stella would you?" she asked reaching for her backpack. Jason nodded and went to get the brushes. Nicole pulled her cell phone out.
"you kids don't have to do that. The storms getting worse, you should go home." Mr. Lunier said. Nicole smiled gratefully.
"I promise to stop by something next week and I'll clean the whole barn." Then she turned to Jason.
"my mom called. Grandma and grandpa are here early." she rolled her eyes.
"wanna come with me?" she asked. Jason raised an eyebrow.
"aren't these the same people who almost ran me over last time they were here?" he asked. Nicole sighed.
"they didn't mean it. You were sitting on the curb." Mr. Lunier chuckled.
"I have to go back to the house. Kia lee's making dinner because she has nothing better to do with her time then to try to poison me." he waved before leaving. Nicole grabbed her hoddie.
"lets go." she said preparing to go back out into the storm.
"Grandpa will love this." she said sarcastically.
"love what?" Jason asked. Nicole held her hoddie over her head in attempt to block some of the rain.
"he has this whole weird thing about him. Like I have to dress up from dinner.But momhas to, to, so I guess it's even." she laughed. Jason shook his head as they continued to walk in the rain. Nicole shivered.
"still don't like storms?" Jason asked.
"no." she laughed.
"its only rain." He smirked. She punched him in his arm with her good arm.
"yeah remind me to tell you that next time your in a high place." They reached the driveway. Jason muttered something under his breath.
"what was that?" Nicole said with a look in her eye that said she knew her point was proven.
"nothing." She shook her head and opened the door.
"Nicole is that you?" Ulrich yelled from the living room.
"yeah." Yumi walked around the corner and leaned against the wall.
"your grandparents are here." she said with a smile.
"that's great mom. Have fun with them. I have soccer practice all weekend." Nicole smirked. Yumi scowled.
"go get dressed." she said pointing to the stairway. Nicole waved and headed up the stairs. Jason just shook his head.
"my cell is charging at the house, can I call my dad to pick me up on his way home?" Jason asked.
"go ahead." Yumi said walking back into the living room.
"where'd Nikki go?" Mrs. Ishiyama asked.
"upstairs to change. She's soaked to the skin and smells like the stables." Yumi sighed sitting down next to Ulrich.
"she still likes to ride?" Her father asked. "yeah, she'll be down in a minute." Yumi said with a fake smile.
"I thought she knew we were coming." her mom said.
"oh she did." Ulrich said. Yumi elbowed him in the ribs. Nicole came running down stairs in dry clothes.
"ah Nikki is that my hoddie?" Ulrich asked. Nicole was wearing a green hoddie that said 'Flames 2019' (a/n this is the future people)
"no dad I played soccer in 2019" Nicole said sarcastically.
"grandma, grandpa!" she hugged her grandparents.
"how was your flight?" she asked cheerfully.
"it was fine. Let me look at you." her grandma said standing back.
"it's scary Yumi, she looks just like you two." she said. Jason walked into the room.
"you guys remember Jas don't you? Odd and Sam's son." Nicole said turning to Jason and laughed.
"who is also soaking wet." Jason rolled his eyes.
"you know I think your bag is still in Nicole's room from last weekend." Yumi said. Nicole laughed.
"oh you guys knew about that." she said with a grin. Jason rubbed the back of his neck as Mr. and Mrs. Ishiyama sat there confused.
"Nick tell them what you did." Ulrich smiled.
"heh." Nicole turned back to her grandparents.
"Jason and Dylan came over last Saturday. Hehe. And we went over to the gym teachers house and um.. Tee peed it?" She said trying to contain laughter. Jason was red faced as he laughed. Yumi's parents were laughing.
"well Ulrich, we know she your daughter." Mr. Ishiyama said with a smirk.
"ok me and Odd only tee peed the house because Yumi and Aelita rigged our dorm room door with ice cold water buckets at three in the morning." Ulrich defended.
"I've heard this story a hundred times so I'm gonna go put some dry clothes on." Jason said running up the stairs.
"you cant still be mad about that one can you dad?" Yumi laughed. Her dad rolled his eyes.
"oh come on you had it coming." Ulrich said nudging Yumi.
"lets just get ready for dinner ok?" Yumi asked standing up. Nicole pushed up her sleeves.
"I'll help." she started to follow her mother. Ulrich stopped her.
"what did you do to your arm?" he asked.
"the storm spooked Celeste." she said quietly.
"and she threw you?" Ulrich asked.
"well I screamed and it scared her. It was my fault." she defended.
"don't tell mom." she glanced into the kitchen. Ulrich sighed.
"I wont. But your arm is black and blue she bound to notice." he said. She pulled her sleeves back down and ran into the kitchen. "busted." Ulrich spun around to see Mr. Ishiyama.
"uh oh." Ulrich laughed. "she's stubborn." Mr. Ishiyama said shaking his head.
"just like her mother." Ulrich said as they walked into the kitchen.
"I heard that." Yumi growled taking dishes out of the cabinet.
A/n: sounds pointless huh? Well there is a reason to this chappie but you'll have to wait for the next chappie to fine out. R&R cuz you know you love me.
