The next day was Saturday so there was no school. The gang all met together in the woods. Everyone was there except Odd, Kayla, and Carmen. "Where are they?" Jeremy asked. "How should I know?" Ulrich answered. He had his arms wrapped around Yumi'swaist and was leaning up against a tree. "Here they come," Aelita said. Odd, Kayla, and Cody burst through the woods laughing. "Sorry we're late," Odd stated."Where's Carmen?" Yumi asked. "Oh now where is she?" Kayla asked. "C..a...r.m.e..n.."Kayla screamed dragging out her name. Carmen slowly slipped out from behind a tree. "Hi," She barely whispered. "Great now let's get started." Jeremy said. "Now do you guys have any questions about Lyoko, X.A.N.A, or anything that has been going on?" he asked. Kayla and Cody shook their heads no, while Carmen looked at her feet. "I..." Carmen whispered, then stopped."Great then now what should we do?" Odd asked. "Wait," Yumi stated. Everyone looked at her and stopped talking. Yumi slipped Ulrich's hands from off her waist and walked over to Carmen. "It's okay to talk. What did you want to know?" Yumi asked lifting Carmen's chin to her eye level. "We're on your side, I'm on your side." Yumi whispered to her. "Did she even say anything?" Kayla asked, looking around. Carmen shook her head no."We'll talk later okay?" Yumi whispered. "If you want to," Carmen answered. Yumi smiled and then walked back to Ulrich dragging Carmen with her. Carmen and Yumi stood next to Ulrich. "Well if that's all the questions we have then we should be done here." Jeremy said. "Great I'll race you all back," Kayla shouted, taking off. Odd, Cody, Aelita, and Jeremy all took off after her. Ulrich was about to when he noticed that Carmen and Yumi hadn't moved. "You girls coming?" he asked. "We have to talk a little bit, we will catch up." Yumi said.

"Alright, I'll see you guys later." Ulrich said walking off. "So what was your question anyway?" Yumi asked Carmen after Ulrich was after hearing distance. "Nothing," Carmen whispered starting to walk off. Yumi gently grabbed her
arm, causing her to stop. "Come on you can tell me," Yumi stated. Carmen still didn't speak much."Are you alright? You don't talk much." Yumi said carefully choosing her words."Sort of, I don't like to talk much," Carmen stated. "Why," Yumi asked.
"Well uhhh, you see ummm I well, it's not important." Carmen stated. "I think it is." Yumi said. "Well you see, I learned not to talk much at home." Carmen stated. Yumi listened carefully. "It's not that they hurt me don't get the wrong
impression, but they well my parents are rich. They have more importance things to do. I tried talking to them but they ran out saying they would be home later and they'd listen then, but they never did. They always had something else to do. So, I just learned to keep my thoughts to myself. No one really cared what I thought. Kayla is the only person who ever listened to me when I really needed to talk well now her and you. But, Kayla took care of me when I needed it. My parents didn't even get to drop me off here,Kayla's parents did. That's just my life and I'm okay with this." Carmen blurted out. Yumi stared at her for a moment. "I'll always care, we all will, you can talk to me or Ulrich. You can trust Ulrich and I with anything. You can trust everyone else too." Yumi said. "No, not everyone. Kayla is to wrapped up inguys now. Sometimes I don't like the guys she hangs out with. And who is this Cody guy?" Carmen stated. "Well..." Yumi was about to answer, suddenly a man jumped down out of the tree above them and grabbed Yumi."Yumi!" Carmen shouted, but she had disappeared. Carmen looked all aroundthe area and listened for them, but found nothing.

Carmen ran all the way
back to school."I have to find Ulrich." Carmen thought. She ran all the way back to school
and up to Ulrich's room. "Ulrich, Ulrich!" she screamed pounding on his door. Ulrich opened his door. "Oh hey Carmen what's...," Ulrich started. "Yumi she's been kidnapped. Some man jumped out of the tree and she wasgone!" Carmen shouted. "We have to find her!" "Calm down, first we tell the others then we track her down." Ulrich saidrunning over to the other's rooms. Ulrich explained to everyone what happened and they met in Jeremy's room. Carmen quickly explained everything she knew. "We split up into teams, and we look everywhere." Jeremy said. "I want to go with Ulrich," Carmen spoke up Everyone stared at her for a moment."Fine, but we go now!" Ulrich said. He and Carmen rushed out of Jeremy's room. "We'll check the factory." Ulrich called out over his shoulder. The others split up into three other groups; Jeremy and Aelita,Odd and Kayla,
andCody by himself. Odd and Kaylawent to check the cafeteria, Aelita and Jeremy went to check her house, and Cody around town.
