(Author's note: Yumi's family went back to Japan to find work, so she is staying at Kadic. Ulrich finally ask Yumi out. William left Yumi alone now. XANA is shut down. Odd has been having a memory coming back to him when he young. Ulrich finds out he has another family member. NO FLAMES PLEASE! )
Flashback
Odd was running around with a little girl on cliff. He was only 5 years old. He was camping with his family. They were playing tag. Odd didn't watch where he step, and he tripped a rock. He went over the cliff. He held on for his life. The girl ran up to the edge of the cliff. She reached over, and she reached her hang out to Odd.
"Here. Grab my hand!" The girl said. Odd grabbed her hand, and she pulled Odd up. Odd was relief when he reached the top. He handed Laura a crystal on a string. She took it and putted it around her neck.
"What is your name?" He asked.
"Laura." She replied.
"Where do you live?"
"By a school called Kadic. I got to go. Cya around." Laura said as she got up to leave. She started to run into the forest. Odd tried to run after her, but she disappeared. Odd walked back to camp wondering if he will ever see Laura again.
End Of Flashback
Odd tossed and turned. He was yelling in his sleep. Ulrich heard him. Ulrich walked up to Odd's bed. Ulrich shook Odd. Odd woke up.
"Odd, are you ok?"
"Yeah." Odd lied.
"You have been having that dream again."
"Yeah."
"Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Ok. This girl and I were playing by a cliff. I didn't watch where I step, and I tripped over a rock. I fell over the cliff. I was hanging on the side when the girl grabbed my hand. She helped me up. I asked where she lived, and she told me that she lived by Kadic. I saw her leaving. I didn't a chance to thank her. She had long, blonde hair. Her eyes were the darkest blue. She never gave me her last name. Her first name is Laura."
"Maybe Jeremy can help." Ulrich said. His alarm clock went off.
"Let's go ask Jeremy." Odd said. They got their things and headed to the showers.
Jeremy, Aelita, and Yumi were in Jeremy's room when Odd and Ulrich came. Ulrich sat next to Yumi. Odd sat on the floor. Today was Saturday.
"Jeremy, can I ask you something?" Odd asked.
"Sure." He replied.
"Can you find someone on the internet?"
"Sure. Why?" Jeremy asked. Odd explained the dream to the rest of the gang.
"Let me see what I can do. I can't promise anything." Jeremy said.
"Ok." Odd said. Jeremy asked all kinds of questions. Odd answered them the best he can. Jeremy typed on his computer, and he found two people.
"Odd, there two people here. One says this Laura is sixty, and the other one is our age. I can pull up the picture if you want." Jeremy said.
"Do it." Odd said. Jeremy opened the second file. He printed out the picture and handed it to Odd. Odd took it. He looked at it. He looked surprise.
"What the matter Odd?" Aelita asked.
"This is her. This is the girl from my dream. Can you find anymore on her?" Odd asked.
"It says that she transferring to here. She is a bright student. She does horseback riding, drawing, reading, and martial arts." Jeremy said.
"When it say when she is coming here?" Odd asked.
"Tomorrow, she comes. She is going to be a boarder." Jeremy said.
"I can't wait." Odd said.
It was late afternoon. Ulrich and Yumi were in the park when Ulrich's cell went off. He went to answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Ulrich. It is your father. I have something you should know."
"What is it?"
"You have a twin sister." Ulrich dropped his cell. Yumi picked it up and handed it to Ulrich. Yumi snapped her fingers to get Ulrich out of his daze. Ulrich shook his head, and he answered his father.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner that I have a sister?" Ulrich said angry.
"Your mom and I thought if we didn't tell you, you won't have to worry. Sorry."
"Sorry is all you can say. Why haven't I met her, or seen pictures of her?"
"You have seen pictures of her. The pictures that we said that girl were your mother's friend daughter is really your sister. When you two were born, I was happy. Your mother loved you both, but when we found out that your uncle didn't like your sister, we got scare. He even tried to kill her. He believed that your mother should only have sons to continue the family's name. We moved so many times, and your uncle still followed us. For your sister's safety, we put her in a foster home. The foster parents and we made a deal that we would be able to still see her, but just a few months ago, the foster parents called saying they couldn't keep your sister anymore because the woman was dieing from cancer, so we said that we can take care of her again. She should be at Kadic tomorrow. You like her. She is very sweet, and she is very smart. Your mother and I will be coming tomorrow. We will meet you at 9am. Since tomorrow is Sunday, you won't have school."
"What is her name?"
"Laura. She loves to draw, read, go horseback riding, and she likes martial arts."
"How would I know to find her?"
"She has long, blonde hair. She has the darkest blue eyes. Did you get the letter I sent you?"
"Yeah, but I didn't have the chance to read it yet because of homework."
"Inside the letter, there is a picture of her. I got to go, but please meet her. I talk to her on the phone a few times, and she knows everything about her past. She knows that you are her bother. I think she said her room number is 723. Go and meet her. You will like her."
"Ok, I will. Bye dad."
"Bye son. See you tomorrow." Ulrich father said. Ulrich hanged up his cell.
"What the matter?" Yumi asked.
"I just found out that I have a twin sister." Ulrich said as he sat on the bench. He looked at the ground. He began to cry. Yumi wrapped her arms around him a pulled him to her.
"It is ok, Ulrich. You should be happy that you have a sister."
"It is unfair that my parents should have told me when I was young."
"I can understand why they didn't. They were waiting until you were older, but everything happens so fast, and they thought you should know. I know if my parents didn't tell me that I had a sister, I would be angry. But I also know that they did it out of their hearts. It took them courage to tell you."
"You're right, Yumi. Thanks. That is one the reasons that I love you."
"You are welcome, Ulrich. Now let's meet your sister tomorrow."
"Ok." Ulrich said as he and Yumi headed to the lunch room.
Ulrich said goodnight to Yumi when they got to Yumi's room. Ulrich walked to his room. He opened the door to see Odd was up.
"What are you doing up?" Ulrich asked as he sat on his bed.
"Thinking about Laura. I'm going to see her after all these years. I can't wait."
"I have something I want to tell you."
"Go for it."
"I have a sister."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah. I just found out today. My parents are coming tomorrow. Did I get a letter?"
"Yeah. It is on the desk. Do you know your sister's name?"
"Yes. It is Laura."
"Could it be the same one?"
"I don't know, but tomorrow we should find out." Ulrich said as he walked to the desk. He picked up the letter, and made his way back to his bed. He opened it, and a picture fell out. He read the letter. Then he looked at the picture.
"What does the letter say?"
"It says that I should look for Laura. Here is her picture." Ulrich said as he handed it to Odd. Odd couldn't believe his eyes. He pulled the picture Jeremy gave him earlier. The picture was the same one Jeremy printed off. Ulrich waved his hand in front of Odd's face.
"I can't believe it. Your sister is the same girl that saved me when I was younger." Ulrich looked at the two pictures. Ulrich couldn't believe his eyes.
"This is weird."
"I know. Let's get to bed. We have a busy day tomorrow." Odd said. The boy got ready for bed and went to sleep.
Ulrich woke up at 7:30. He headed down to the showers. Odd was there already.
"You are early, Odd. What's up?"
"Nothing. I'm getting ready to meet your sister later. Plus I couldn't sleep."
"I don't blame you. I'm kind of scare to meet Laura. I don't even know her."
"I know, but you will do fine. I will wait in the park at 2pm. You can bring her, so I can meet her."
"Ok. Let's hurry. I want to meet Yumi, Jeremy, and Aelita." Ulrich said. The boys got done, and they headed to the lunch room.
Ulrich started to get worry. It was 8:55, and he saw his parents coming.
"Hi, Ulrich. How are you?" His father asked.
"Ok." Ulrich replied. He was still hurt still from the day before.
"Ulrich, I'm sorry that I haven't said anything about her to you when you were younger. I was waiting until you were older, but this showed up. I didn't mean it." Ulrich's mother said as she began to cry.
"Mom and dad, I forgive you. Let's go and meet Mr.Delmas." Ulrich said as he hugged his mother. They walked to Mr.Delmas's office. Mr.Delmas saw them coming, and he let them in. Once everyone was in, He told Jim to find Laura.
"I know this must be s shock to you, Ulrich, but your parents and I agree that you should meet Laura at first hand." Mr.Delmas said. There was a knock on the door, and Mr.Delmas went to opened it. Jim walked in with a girl walking behind him. Ulrich's dad and mom stood up. They walked up to Laura. Jim walked to Mr.Delmas. Ulrich's mother wrapped her arms around Laura, and pulled Laura to her. She began to cry.
"I thought I would never see my baby girl again." Ulrich's mother said as she let go of Laura. Ulrich's father wrapped his arms around Laura.
"My daughter is back." He said he let go of Laura. Ulrich got up and walked to Laura. Ulrich looked at Laura.
"Hi, my name is Ulrich." Ulrich said.
"My name is Laura, and I know who you are. You are my brother." Laura said. Ulrich looked shock.
"Go and give her a hug, Ulrich." Ulrich's father said. Ulrich hugged Laura. When he finally let Laura go, he had tears falling down his face. Laura looked at him.
"What is the matter?" Laura asked Ulrich.
"I'm happy. I have a sister now." Ulrich replied. Laura smiled at him.
"Ulrich, you are going to watch Laura from now on. Your uncle doesn't know anything, and if he finds out that Laura is back, he might try to kill her." Ulrich's father said.
A few hours later, Ulrich's and Laura's parents were getting ready to leave. They went out to the gates.
"Ulrich, remember to keep an eye on Laura." Ulrich's father said.
"Yes I will dad. She will be in good hands." Ulrich replied. Ulrich's mother hugged Ulrich. She let him go.
"If you need anything Laura, just call. Ulrich will help you out. I'm so glad to have you back, Laura. It was hard to let you go, but when I found out that we had chance to have you back, I was so happy. I missed you growing up, but I'll be here from now on." Ulrich's mother said as hugged Laura.
"Talk to you two later. Bye Laura and Ulrich." Ulrich's father said as a taxi pulled up to the gates of Kadic. He got in the taxi.
"Ulrich, please get along with your sister. Show her around, and let her meet your friends. I talk to you both." Ulrich's mother said before she got into the taxi.
"Bye dad and mom. Talk to you later." Ulrich said. Laura and Ulrich watched their parents leave. Laura was quite.
"What the matter sis?" Ulrich asked.
"I'm trying to get things in order. I don't what to do. All my life, I lived on life, and just a few months ago, I found out I had another family. My foster parents told me that I had another mother and father, but never had a bother. Plus I'm looking for a boy that I met when I was only 5. I know his name was Odd. He gave me this crystal."
"Well, I can help you get everything back in order. Since tomorrow is Teacher's improvement day, we have no school, so we have all night to talk and catch up on stuff. I want to know about you. Let's head to the park. I have someone you have to meet." Ulrich said as he grabbed Laura's arm. He led her to the park. Odd was sitting on a bench when Ulrich showed up. Ulrich let go of Laura's arm.
"Hi Ulrich." Odd said as he looked at Laura.
"Hi Odd. This is my sister, Laura" Ulrich said proud.
"Hello Laura. My name is Odd."
"Do I know you?" Laura asked.
"Maybe. Why do you ask?" Odd asked.
"When I was younger, I met a boy named Odd Della Robbia. He and I were only five when he fell over the cliff. I helped him up, and he gave me this crystal." Laura said.
"Well, Ulrich. Should I tell her?" Odd asked.
"Odd, you should tell her. If you don't, I use my martial arts on you." Ulrich replied.
"Tell me what?" Laura asked.
"I was that boy you spoke about." Odd said. Laura fainted. Ulrich caught her.
"Did I do something?" Odd asked as he kneeled next to Ulrich and Laura.
"No, she just fainted. Just give her a few minutes to get everything back. She just found out she had a bother. Laura, wake up." Ulrich said as he shook Laura. Laura opened her eyes.
"Sorry about that." Laura said as Ulrich and Odd helped her up.
"How do you feel?" Ulrich asked.
"Fine. Sorry for scaring you like that." Laura said.
"It's ok." Ulrich replied.
"I can't believe it you. I came back to the cliff every year after we met, but I never saw you again." Odd said.
"I was there with my foster family camping, and I had just started taking horseback riding lessons, so we didn't camp anymore." Laura explained. She went to sit on the bench. Ulrich sat next to Laura. Odd sat on the other side.
Two hours later, Laura, Ulrich, and Odd were all caught up on the past. Odd's cell went off saying it was dinner time.
"Well, it is dinner time." Odd said as he got up. He stretched and held his hand out to Laura. Laura grabbed it. Laura got up. Ulrich got up. Together they walked to the lunch room. When they got there, Yumi, Jeremy, and Aelita were waiting for them. Ulrich, Laura, and Odd went, got their food, and sat down next to the rest of the gang.
"Who is she?" Aelita asked.
"This is Laura. She is my sister." Ulrich said.
"I didn't know that you have a sister." Jeremy said. Ulrich (with Odd's and Laura's help) explained everything to the gang.
"WOW!" Jeremy said.
"Plus, I'm the same girl who saved Odd when he was younger." Laura said. The gang ate until Sissy walked up.
"You are new here. My name is Sissy." She said as she got close to Laura.
"Hi Sissy. My name is Laura." Laura replied.
"Sissy, leave my sister alone." Ulrich said.
"She is your sister?" Sissy asked.
"Yeah."
"I didn't know you had a sister." Sissy said.
"Now you know." Ulrich said.
"Why don't you sit by us, Laura?" Sissy asked.
"No thanks. I want to hang out with my brother." Laura said nicely.
"I talk to you later." Sissy said before she went to sit down by Herve and Nick.
"Who was she, Ulrich?" Laura asked.
"That was Sissy. She is the principal's daughter. She thinks she is very important. When I asked Yumi out, she had a crush on me. She liked me since third grade. She tried to make me fall in love with her, but I love Yumi." Ulrich explained.
"Oh I get it." Laura said. She was done eating.
"May I get your dishes?" Odd asked. Everyone looked at him shocked.
"Yes you can. Thank you." Laura said.
"No problem." Odd said as he grabbed Laura's and his dirty dishes. He went to putted them away.
"What did you do to Odd?" Yumi asked.
"I don't know. Why?" Laura asked.
"He never asks to put other peoples' dishes away." Jeremy said. Odd came back. The gang talked. William watched Laura from his table.
Two months later, Winter Ball was coming up. Everyone was getting ready for it. Ulrich was taking Yumi, and Jeremy was taking Aelita. Laura became friends with the group. They conclude her in everything. They were hoping that Odd and Laura would get together. The gang knew that Odd and Laura loved each other, but every time Odd or Laura tried to tell each other their feelings, something came up. One day, Ulrich told Laura to meet him in the park. Jeremy told Odd to meet him in the park. Odd and Laura didn't know what was going on. William followed Laura. Laura found Odd sitting on the bench.
"What are you doing here, Laura?" Odd said.
"Ulrich asked me to meet him here, but he didn't show up."
"That is funny. Jeremy told me meet him here too."
"Could this be a set up?"
"Maybe. Laura, can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead Odd."
"Are you going to the Winter Ball with anyone?"
"No. The one I would like to go with hasn't asked me yet."
"Who?" Odd asked. He felt his heart breaking.
"He is my brother's best friend. Well I got to go."
"Laura, were you talking about me?"
"Yes."
"Then I would love to take you. It is the reason that I asked. I was hoping to take you."
"I would love too."
"Then I see you later."
"Bye."
"Bye, Laura." Odd said.
William's P.O.V.
"I just can believe that he asked her to the Winter Ball. She told him yes. If she should go, she should go with me. She is an angel. He will get what is coming to him." William thought as he left his spot where he was hiding.
Normal P.O.V.
Odd walked in his room happy. He couldn't believe that Laura was going with him to the Winter Ball. He didn't notice that Ulrich was sitting on his bed.
"You are in a good mood. What's up?" Ulrich asked causing Odd to jump a little.
"Ulrich, I didn't see you there. Well I got to ask a girl of my dreams to the Winter Ball."
"You mean my sister, right?"
"Yeah. I can't wait to see tomorrow night. I have something to ask you."
"Shoot."
"You knew friend who had a crush on your best friend's sister, and he is going ask her to be his girlfriend. What would you do?"
"Let me guess. It is you."
"Yeah. I couldn't help falling in love with Laura. After Sam left, I told myself I won't date anymore, but your sister has a special way with me. Every time I see her, I get weak in the knees."
"Then go for it, Odd. I want Laura to be happy. It is one thing I can do for her. She had a hard life after she found out about her past, and she needs someone to be there for her. Everyone in the gang was hoping that you two will get together. That is why Jeremy and I got you to meet each other in the park. We were trying to get you two to go out. I watched you tried to tell Laura your feelings, but something always came up. I know Laura is crazy about you because she talks and asks about you all the time. She is in love with you."
"You two are dead meat for this when Laura finds out."
"We know, but it worked. Well we better get ready for bed. Tomorrow is a busy day for all of us. I'm glad today was the last day for Winter break. What are you doing for winter break, Odd?"
"I'm going home. What are Laura and you doing for winter break?"
"Mom and Dad want us to have a Christmas together. This is going to be Laura's first Christmas with us, so Mom and Dad wants us to spend it with her."
"How about Aelita?"
"Jeremy's dad bought her plane ticket, so she is spending Christmas with Jeremy. Yumi is going home."
"That is good. Well I'm tired out, so I'm going to bed. See you in the morning."
"Good night Odd."
"Good night Ulrich."
The next day, everyone was getting ready for the Winter Ball. By six, Yumi, Odd, Aelita, and Jeremy were heading down to the gym.
"Where is Laura and Ulrich?" Jeremy asked.
"Ulrich told me that they will be coming a little later." Yumi said. Jim opened the doors and the gang went into the gym. By seven, Ulrich showed up.
"Where is Laura?" Yumi asked.
"She is coming. Here she comes." Ulrich said as Laura walked up to the gang. She was wearing a dark, midnight blue dress that fitted her like second skin. Odd's mouth dropped. Laura giggled a little. It took Odd on a few seconds to readjust.
"WOW! You look beautiful, Laura. May I have this dance?" Odd asked as he held his hand out. Laura accepted it, and they headed out to the dance floor.
"They look perfect together." Aelita said.
"You are right." Ulrich said.
Odd and Laura danced to a slow song.
"Laura, can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
"Would you be my girlfriend?" Odd asked. Laura looked at him with tears in her eyes. She said as she gave him a kiss on the lips.
"I will take that a yes." Odd said as he pulled Laura closer to him. William sat at a table close to Odd and Laura.
William's P.O.V.
"I just can't believe he asked her to be his girlfriend. She should be mine."
Normal P.O.V.
"Now we announce the Winter Ball's king and queen." Jim said. Mr.Delmas walked on to the stage.
"The Winter Ball king is Odd Della Robbia, and the queen is Laura Stern. Please come up here." Mr. Delmas said. Odd and Laura walked on to the stage. Mr.Delmas putted the crown on Odd's head. Mrs. Hertz putted the crown on Laura's head. Sissy looked angry as she went to the refreshment table.
"Now here is your king and queen. Please step into the middle of the floor for the royal dance." Mr.Delmas said. Odd and Laura did what he told them to do. A slow song came on, and Odd and Laura danced to it. Once it was done, the gang walked up to them. Ulrich took pictures of them.
"Ulrich, stop it." Laura said.
"Sorry, but Mom and Dad wants to see the pictures." Ulrich said.
"No they don't. You want to blackmail me when we are older."
"That too."
"You are dead when we get home." Laura said as Ulrich hided behind Yumi.
"They sound like brother and sister." Jeremy said.
"Laura, come with me." Odd said as he grabbed Laura's hand. He led her outside to the place that he asked her to the dance. He pulled into his pocket and pulled out a locket.
"I have something for you."
"What is it?"
"This." He said as he opened his hand. It was a locket. Laura was shocked.
"For me?"
"Yes. I had Ulrich help me find it for you. Flip it over." He said as he handed it to Laura. Laura flipped it over. On the back it said, "I will always love you, Laura. Now and Forever. Love, Odd."
"I don't know what to say. It is perfect. Why don't you put it on me?"
"I would love too." Odd said as he putted on Laura's neck. He fastens it and turned to Laura. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and they looked at the starry night.
"I love you, Laura. I will always be there for you. I will protect you. I promise." Odd whispered in Laura's ear.
"I love you too, Odd." Laura said. Little did they knew that William watched the whole thing.
William's P.O.V.
"She will be mine. If not, no one can have her." William said quietly.
(Author's Note: Here is another story from me. Sorry about cutting it off there, but there is going to be more to this. I hope you like this. PLEASE NO FLAMES. Demongirldog.)
