And another chappy! Enjoy...

(Ulrich P.O.V.)

I stay awake all night, Yumi fast asleep in my arms. We keep each other warm. Good thing it isn't a cold night anyway, or else I would be freezing. All I have on is a pair of jeans and a shirt. Finally, when dawn begins to show, Yumi stirs. I check my cell phone; it's nearly 5:00.

"Good morning beautiful." I say when she is awake.

"Good morning handsome." She says back and sits up. "Was I like that all night?"

"You betcha." I say. I stand up and stretch.

"What time is it?" She asks, standing up as well.

"About five." I reply

"How much sleep did you get?"

"Before you came and woke me up in my dorm, about three hours."

"I mean after that."

"Uhh… none."

"You stayed awake all night? Just for me?"

"Of course. I told you last night, actually it was earlier, that I would do anything for you. That includes staying awake all night to make sure you get some sleep."

"That's so sweet of you…" She says and kisses me.

"Well, that made my whole night worth it." I say and she blushes. "Now you had better get home, your Mom is probably worried sick about where you are."

"Would you care to escort me?"

"I couldn't think of any better way to start my day." I say and I walk her home.

"Thank you Ulrich, I couldn't ask for any better. I'll see you at school. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye." I walk back to school to get ready. I get there and take a shower. The perk to waking up at five, and being in the showers by 5:30 is that no one else is crazy enough to be up that early. I finish by six, and some of the early-birds are starting to drift in. I walk back to my room to find an awake Odd.

"Hey Ulrich, where have you been? I woke up about an hour ago, and you weren't here."

"Why were you up at five?" I ask, avoiding the subject.

"I dunno, I just kinda woke up. Don't avoid the question, why were you gone all night?"

"I wasn't gone all night, just from about 1:00 onward."

"You're still avoiding the question."

"Okay, okay. Yumi showed up her about one last night and was in tears. She wouldn't tell me why here, so I took her to the park."

"Go on."

"Well, it turns out that her father saw Yumi kiss me last night when I dropped her off, and they had a big fight."

"Oh my god, is everything okay?"

"No. Yumi's father left them. She told me and then started crying on my shoulder. Soon she fell asleep, and I didn't want to wake her up, so I stayed there until about an hour ago. I took her home, then came here and took a shower."

"Oh my god. How is Yumi going to cope with this? The last time her father left, she wouldn't talk to us for days. But wait, if she came here at one and you didn't leave until five, how much sleep did you get?"

"About three hours before she came. Then I stayed up all night."

"You stayed up all night with Yumi? Boy oh boy. You must really be in love with her."

"You guessed it Odd. More than I can describe."

"Come on Romeo, let's go get some breakfast." He says laughing.

"What's so funny Odd?"

"Oh nothing. I think it's funny that you believe you will always love Yumi."

"I will." I say quickly.

"Yah right, this is just a high school crush. You'll be over Yumi by the end of the year, I guarantee it."

"You know what Odd? I think you're just jealous. I have my perfect Yumi, Jeremie and Aelita have each other, but you have no one." I sit back comfortably.

"Nah, I'm not jealous. I have years to go before I have to decide which girl is right for me. I'm content for right now to just date a couple of girls in school."

"You mean all the girls in school."

"So? What's your point? Actually, hold on. I haven't dated Yumi, Aelita or Sissi."

"Good. Let's go have breakfast."

"Best idea I've heard all day, let's go grab Macas and leave."

"Okay. After breakfast I need to come back here really quick. Then we'll go to class."

"What for?"

"I'll tell you later." I say, and walk out the door. We find Macas in his room, drawing a picture. It's pretty good, it's a picture of his computer.

"Hey nice drawing. Let's go have breakfast." I say.

"Okay, just a second… there." He finishes the last touch and stands up. We walk over to breakfast to find that they haven't opened the cafeteria yet.

"What time is it?" Odd asks to no one in general.

"About uh…" Macas says and he pull out a cell phone. "6:32."

"Hey, I didn't know you had a cell phone. What's your number?"

"It's 253-891-6225. Do you have cells?" (A/N: Random numbers please don't call)

"Yah." We say and give him our numbers.

"This will be good, in case we need to call each other." Odd says. "Just in case."

"Hey Ulrich. Remember that dream I told you about? How I knew what was happening yesterday like I had already done it?"

"Yah." I shake my head slightly at Odd, telling him to keep his mouth shut.

"Well, in it, Jeremie called me on my cell phone, telling me to get everyone out of the auditorium. I hadn't told anyone I even had a cell phone. Do you think Jeremie would have had a way to find mine out?"

"I'm sure Jeremie would have found a way. Here he comes now, why don't you ask him yourself?" I say and there he is, with Aelita on his arm.

"Hey guys, what are you doing up this early?"

"I don't know, we just kinda woke up. It's too bad that the cafeteria doesn't open until 7:00" Odd says.

"Yah, well it's about two minutes 'till, we don't have to wait long." Aelita says.

"Hey Jeremie, do you know of anyway you could have found out about my cell phone? Like the number?"

"Easy. Did you put it down on the registration form?"

"Yah."

"It's not hard to hack into the school's computer system. I could easily find it from there. What's your number? I'll give you mine." He says. They exchange numbers.

"The lunchroom's open now, let's go eat." Macas says.

"Finally! I'm starving!" Odd yells and runs inside before anyone else.

"Come on, we need to get some before Odd gets thirds." Jeremie says and we walk inside.

"Hey Jeremie, can I talk to you for a second? Over there?"

"Sure Ulrich." As soon as we were out of earshot, I pulled him aside and explained the whole situation with Macas.

"Why would XANA want to frame Macas?"

"I don't know, but I know that it was XANA controlling William, not Macas attacking Yumi. Here's the original CD, can you check it out?"

"Sure. Anything to help him out. I'm going to get out of the way now, your girlfriend is coming." He says almost laughing and I look at him funny.

How does he know Yumi is my girlfriend?

Anyway, I turn around to find not Yumi, but Sissi.

Oh great. Just what I needed.

"What do you want Sissi, I don't want to talk to you." I say coldly. I really am not in the mood for this right now.

"I was just wondering when you were finally going to stop chasing after Yumi and go after a pretty girl like me." She says in the annoying high-pitched voice of hers.

I smile. "I have stopped chasing her."

"Really?" She squeals, like she can't believe her ears. She latches onto my arm like a leech.

Ow, that hurt. That squeal almost broke my eardrums.

"Yah. I finally stopped chasing her because she is mine now. And there she is. So if you would mind returning the circulation to my arm, I would like to go and meet my girlfriend." I laugh as Sissi's grip falls slack, and I walk over to Yumi, kissing her on the cheek.

"How's it going beautiful?" I ask her as I lead her over to the table.

"Not bad handsome." She replies and kisses me before sitting down. I get whistles from all over the lunchroom, but I can't hear them. I'm too busy trying to get the feeling back into my legs, for they had turned to jelly. Luckily, it only lasted for a moment, and I sat down across from Jeremie, my normal spot.

"Finally." Aelita says as soon as I sit down.

"What do you mean finally?" I ask

"You two have finally gotten together. It took you long enough." Jeremie says.

"Yah, even I knew that. I've only been here a couple of days." Macas replies.

I think everyone, well everyone except Macas, has been waiting for this since the incident on Lyoko.

"So what finally got you two together?" Macas asks.

"I went to go apologize to him, and we just kinda ended up together." Yumi replies, obviously trying to avoid the subject.

"What did you need to apologize for?" He asks again.

"Oh, nothing. Just some little thing and I overreacted. It's all in the past now." I say.

"Hey Macas, have you ever had a girlfriend?" Odd asks.

"Nah, I haven't found any girl that I really wanted to date."

"See Ulrich, Macas is in no hurry either." Odd says, looking at me smugly.

"What's that all about?" Jeremie asks.

"Oh nothing. I just said Odd was jealous because he hasn't found a girlfriend to last him for more than one month. We were just kidding around." I say.

"Hey! Tyffanie lasted for a month and three days." Odd says feigning offense.

"Okay, a month and three days it is." I concede.

"Wow Odd, you're quite the ladies-man." Macas says laughing slightly.

"Yah, this is his description: Odd: walking stomach, ladies-man, lives up to name." Yumi says and we all have a good laugh. Then the bell rings.

"Well, I got to go to math Ulrich. I'll see you later."

"Come on Yumi, I'll walk you there. I've got math with you anyway." Macas says and gets up to leave.

"Bye Ulrich, I'll see you in third period." Yumi says and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye. Let's go Odd, or we'll be late for English."

"Okay, just let me finish really quick." He scarfs down the last of his meal and stands up.

"Let's go." He says and we walk away to first period.

Okay... I liked this one. It's kinda just filler, better stuff later. There's a little bit of foreshadowing in here, let's see if you can figure it out. By the way, I did the math: only .07 percent of the people who read this story review it! That's pitiful! come on, i've had like 600 hits, and only 40 somethin reviews. I want some more! Please R&R, it means a lot to a writer!
