STORY TIME .

xXx

Yumi and Ulrich got to the park. Jeramie, and Odd were leaning against a tree while Katie was laying on the grass staring up into the deep blue sky. Her golden locket laid on her neck as she started to get up.

" I thought I heard some one coming." Katie said as she saw Yumi and Ulrich. "So what took you sooo long? I mean we got here in like two minutes flat!" The blonde hair girl said proudly.

"Really?" Yumi questioned, as she sat down the grass. Katie nodded proudly.

"Only because she did that grab-your-arm-and-run thing again. Or as she likes to call it 'The human chain'." Odd explained rubbing his arm.

"Well you guys didn't want to race so how else was I suppose to get you running?" Katie laughed while randomly dancing. Jeramie sighed and sat down. Odd and Ulrich joined him. Soon Katie was the only one standing. "Oh get up lazy butts..."

"Is she always like this when she goes to the park?" Odd said softly to Ulrich as he and everyone else slowly got up.

"Yea but usually she is worse than this" Ulrich whispered back to Odd, making sure that Katie didn't hear them.

"Worse? She can be worse? How so?" Odd questioned being a little bit surprised.

"Well usually by now she would suggest we play..." Ulrich started to explain when he was interrupted by his darling best friend Katie.

"WHO WANTS TO PLAY FRISBEE!" Katie practically yelled as she pulled out a hot pink Frisbee. The Frisbee was obviously used before judging by the grass stains on it.

"I'm guessing you were going to say Frisbee?" Odd asked Ulrich quietly.

"Yea... well I hope your good a Frisbee, Odd." Ulrich sighed. Odd sighed along with Ulrich.

"I hope so too."

"Sure I'll play." The black hair girl responded. "I haven't played Frisbee in a while though, so I might be kind of horrible at it." Katie just smirked at Yumi's comment and took a good amount of steps backwards with the Frisbee in her hand. It has been a long time since some one actually agreed to play Frisbee with her.

"Well there is only one way to find out!" The Blond hair girl threw her Frisbee right at Yumi with out any warning. The guys who were just standing around saw a blur of pink go right by them headed right for the Japanese girl's head. Yumi stopped the Frisbee centimeters from her face and without a seconds hesitation she threw the poor pink Frisbee right back at Katie. Amazingly Katie caught the Frisbee, though she did stumble back wards a bit. Everyone stared from Yumi to Katie and back to Yumi, not knowing what to say. " I say the teams should be Boys against Girls." Katie commented once she regained her balance. No one disagreed.

"If this is considered horrible, then what it consider good? I mean you are deadly with a Frisbee!" Odd said being the first guy to come out of shock. Ulrich had his mouth hanging open while Jeramie looked as though he would die if he played.

"You might find out later in the game. But right now I do believe it is boys against girls, and I do believe that the girls are winning. " Yumi smirked as she ran sideways catching the Frisbee again. Ulrich and Jeramie snapped out of their little trance as they joined the game. The raven haired girl passed it back to Katie when Ulrich intercepted it. He shook his hand a bit from the little twinge of pain he felt from catching it.

"So Yumi where did you learn how to play so well? Do you practice all the time or is Frisbee a sport in Japan?" Ulrich asked as he passed the Frisbee to Jeramie who caught it and threw it over to Odd.

"Well in Japan we have fans that every girl is trained to use. Not like a weapon but for 'showy' reasons. You have to learn how to open, close, flip, and a whole bunch of stuff to do with a fan. When my little brother brought home a Frisbee on day, he threw it at me. I thought of it as a fan and caught it and threw as if it were a fan." Yumi started to explain. Odd who was eves dropping like everyone else spoke up.

"Why did you throw fans? Was that in your training?" Katie smacked Odd over the head for asking such a stupid question and then took the Frisbee from him.

"Actually it was part of two other trainings. I combined the three to make my practice time go down a bit." Yumi explained as she caught the pink Frisbee that was heading over her head. She threw the Frisbee once again but only to be intercepted by Odd this time.

"And what would those trainings be?" Ulrich asked giving Yumi his undivided attention. Yumi smirked and saw that Odd was throwing the Frisbee towards Ulrich. With out a seconds hesitation, the Japanese girl did two cart wheels forward, caught the Frisbee, then did a back wards round-off and sent the Frisbee right back to Katie. Katie ducked this time knowing that she would not be able to catch it. Eventually the Frisbee hit the ground. Everyone just looked at Yumi.

"Gymnastics and Martial Arts." Yumi Smirked.

"You know Martial Arts too! That's awesome! Ulrich here is a pro at it!" Katie said very proudly like a mother showing off her son. Ulrich wish he would just disappear from the world at that moment. He didn't want to seem to showy in front of Yumi. Even if it was tempting at times.

"Really?" Yumi Questioned with amazement. Ulrich nodded in agreement. "Maybe sometime we could spar together. You know just to practice a bit."

"That would be really cool!" Ulrich once again cheered with out thinking. "I'm mean that would be cool." Yumi and Katie laugh a bit.

"So who wants to go and get the Frisbee?" Jeramie asked using his hand to block the sun from his eyes trying to find the Green-tinted pink Frisbee. The Frisbee was deep in the woods laying next to a man-hole, but none of them knew that.

"How about we take a small break from that. I need some time to recover from that." Katie said as she plopped down on the grass and stared at the sky. "Besides with Yumi's Martial, I-can-take-your-head-off, Arts skill, that Frisbee is probably nowhere to be found." She motioned for the others to sit down too.

"I'm sorry." The raven hair girl said gloomy. 'If we can't find it I swear I will buy you another one." Katie just smiled and looked at Yumi.

"Oh cheer up! It's just a bunch of plastic melted together in some factory that puts pollution up in the air and killed the Ozone. I'll live if we can't find it." Everyone laughed at that for a few moments, then an awkward silence followed. Odd decided to break the silence, since he knew he would be good at it.

"So Yumi is from Japan, Where are you from Jeramie? Anywhere near?" Odd asked wanting to know his new friends better. Katie started to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Actually I am from here, But in the far end of France. I convinced my parents to let me come and stay at Kadic because Kadic is voted one of the best educational school and it would be good to learn to say out on your own." Everyone just started blankly at Jeramie until Odd broke the silence. "So basically your the only one out of the group who came to learn and not to party." Jeramie shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah basically. What about you Odd, we already know that you are here to party and to have a good time, but where did you come from?" Jeramie asked being curious as to what country would have there children walking around with purple hair. "America?"

Odd laughed at the suggestion. " Please, America got nothing on me. I'm from good old New Zealand. I used to live with my grandma, only because my parents are huge business people and never stay home for more that two weeks. But I guess they felt guilty about leaving me with my good old grandma and decided to put me here. They stop by at France more then they do at home so I still see them more."

"Now why would they fell guilty about leaving you with your grandma?" Ulrich asked. "You don't do anything bad, do you?"

"Bad? Me? Now those two words don't fit in one sentence. Trouble might, but not bad. My parents didn't want an 85 year old woman to deal with a kid I guess." Odd explained.

"Where are you from Ulrich?" The Japanese girl asked.

"I'm from Germany. My dad heard about the great soccer team Kadic has and wanted me to join. So here I am." Ulrich said as he stared up into the sky like Katie was doing. He knew they were going to asked about Katie next and wonder what she was going to say. After all she was an...

"So what about the lovely Katie here?" Odd Perked up and asked. "I'm guess that you are from Germany too if you knew Ulrich. How did ya meet him?" Katie was relieved that Odd asked an easy question and not a hard-to-answer one. Ulrich sighed in relieve too.

"Well when my family moved to Ulrich's neighborhood I was only four years old and didn't know anyone. As I got out of my parent's car I saw a boy who was jumping back and forth over a sprinkler that was on. I decided to go over to say hi. When I got over there he didn't see me and jumped right into me. But after I had a cast put on to heal my broken left wrist we became best friends and spent almost every minute of every day together." Katie retold her second favorite story of all times.

"Well that explains the closeness of you two. If Katie had brown hair I would say you two were related." Odd added while everyone giggled a bit. "So Katie what did your parents think of the whole hanging out with a boy thing all the time thing?" Both Katie and Ulrich froze and looked at each other,

"They... thought that Ulrich is a nice boy.. Now how about we find that Frisbee?" Katie said as she got up holding her locket and running in the direction where the Frisbee was last seen. Ulrich turned to everyone else, obviously worried about his friend.

"Well lets go help her look. Knowing Katie she will probably get lost." He got up and followed her.

"Wow I hope I didn't upset her." Odd said worryingly when Ulrich was out of hearing range.

"You didn't know Odd. But until we know what is wrong how about we not talk about family around her. " Yumi reassured Odd and patted him the shoulder.

"I wonder what's in that locket?" Jeramie said to no one in particular. Yumi turned to Jeramie and said.

"Well we can ask her later but right now lets go help Katie and Ulrich look for that Frisbee." And with that they all went after the two to help look for the Frisbee.
