Chapter 2

A New Love

A few tears were escaping from Yumi's eyes. She didn't mean to hurt Ulrich, it just slipped out. Aelita went to comfort her.

"He didn't mean it," She started, "You know how Ulrich gets."

"I know," Yumi answered in short little gasps. "But he meant that. I said it on accident." The tears came freely now.

"Calm down," Aelita said, wiping Yumi's eyes with her hand. "I'll go talk to him, will that help?" Yumi nodded.

"Be careful Aelita," Odd warned. "Ulrich is as mad as X.A.N.A. right now."

"I think I can manage," Aelita replied.

"Just be careful," Jeremie hugged his crush. The last thing he wanted was for her to end up in tears.

"I will," Aelita said. "What I should worry about is not getting caught by Jim."

"Don't worry about that," Odd pointed across the school. "The dummy is far from here."

"Well, then I'd better hurry," Aelita said as she kissed her boyfriend on the cheek for luck, and ran off. Jeremie stared after her.

"What a girl…" He whispered to himself. Odd heard, and snickered.

In Ulrich's Dorm

Ulrich rushed into his dorm and slammed the door. He then fell upon his bed like it was a monster and pounded his pillow.

What an idiot I am! Ulrich thought. Yumi didn't mean it, and I returned the hatred. I am soooo stupid.

One thing was for certain, Yumi wouldn't talk to Ulrich for a long time. He missed her already. If only there was something he could do in the meantime, something to keep him busy while he fought this emotional battle. Something, anything...

There was a knock on the door. Ulrich didn't answer, but Aelita came in anyways. That's when Ulrich's eyes lit up, just as they had when put off studying.

"Hey Aelita…"Ulrich started, smiling.

"Hello Ulrich," Aelita returned the smile, then turned serious. "Ulrich, about Yumi…"

"Let's forget about Yumi for a while," Ulrich said.

"Forget about Yumi?" Aelita was confused. "How could we possibly forget about her?"

"Like this," Ulrich said.

He pressed his lips against Aelita's. Aelita was frightened, and tried to pry him off. Ulrich rapped his arms around her, trapping her. Eventually, Aelita became lost in the romantic aroma, and returned Ulrich's kiss. Both had their eyes closed, and stayed kissing for a long time. Finally, they slowly broke it.

"What about Yumi?" Aelita looked into Ulrich's sweet eyes.

"What about Yumi?" Ulrich responded. "Who cares about Yumi?"

"You?" Aelita asked.

"No," Ulrich shook his head. "I care about you." He kissed her once more.

"What about Jeremie?" Aelita asked.

"Do you care about boring old Einstein…," Ulrich put his hand on her shoulder. "…or do you care about me?"

"Can't I care for both of you?" Aelita asked. Ulrich pulled her to his side.

"I wouldn't share you with anyone." He said.

"Then you!" Aelita announced. She kissed him once more.
