Thank you everybody for reviewing! I love you all! And yes, I am trying my best to hold onto my ideas. I am thinking about bringing a notebook along with me, XDDD But at any rate, I am trying to devote this chapter to a lot of Yumi x Ulrich. Let's see if it becomes accomplished.

"Ulrich sweetie, time to get up!" Odd said as sweet as sugar.

"Five more minutes mom," the brunette replied sleepily. He rolled over, shut his eyes tightly, and pulled his blanket over his head. Odd began to laugh insanely and jumped on his friend's bed. He yanked off the blanket and started jumping on Ulrich.

"Graaah!" the brunette shrieked. He leaped out of bed in attack mode and began to rough house with Odd. The two boys howled with laughter.

William groggily sat up in his bed and rubbed his eyes, "What the hell?" Odd and Ulrich were rolling around on the floor, tackling each other like football players.

Odd immediately stood up and blushed.

"Oh, well look at the time, it's 8:05. If we hurry up we will be just in time for breakfast. I call shower first!" Odd exclaimed. He ran into the bathroom, grabbing his clothes on the way.

"Well he's definitely a morning person," Will stated bluntly.

The Cafeteria

"Wow, our first Saturday in London!" exclaimed Yumi. "No school, only fun in the town."

"Yup, nothing but fun today. Let's make the most out of it," agreed Ulrich. His eyes met Yumi's for a second, but then he looked away, embarrassed. He really adored Yumi but he didn't know if they shared feelings.

"Well, there are tons of things to do here!" exclaimed Hannah. "Plenty of coffee shops to go around, historical sites, a tacky tour bus, sidewalk art shows, bands near the subways, and so much pop and rock culture to go around," she rambled on while counting the activities off on her fingers.

"That's right!" agreed Aelita. "I've been meaning to ask Terra where she dyes her hair. My pink is fading a bit and I guess I need to get it re-done."

The brunette smiled and fluffed her green dyed bangs around a bit. "Well, there is this place in town where some super models get there locks frosted. I would have to say it is how you French call tres chic. "

Aelita nodded and smiled, "Sounds nice."

"I've been meaning to get a new color for a while now anyway. At least I have an excuse now," Terra continued.

"Mind if I tag along?" questioned Alana. "I'm sort of getting bored of black hair all the time."

"Me too!" Hannah bounced up from her seat as began to twirl around in circles. "There is a candy shop right next door!"

Terra laughed, nodded and said, "It's a date! Those chocolate bars are calling my name!"

"Now about that coffee shop," Yumi began. She looked pointedly at Ulrich with a flirtatious look in her eyes. "Would you like to come with me Ulrich?"

The brunette's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Of course," he replied, cool as ice.

"Great," Yumi beamed. "Now that we are all set, let's roll!"

Odd turned to Jeremie as soon as the others left. "Well buddy, looks like we can get gaming."

Jeremie exclaimed, "Yes! Computer and videogame stores, here we come!"

ULRICH POV

She was dressed in a red beret, black turtle neck, red vest, black mini skirt, red stockings, and black knee-high boots. Yumi was truly a vision. I was basically a brown haired guy on cloud nine following Yumi and every turn she made.

"Alana said The Bean would be on my right after we headed north two blocks from Big Ben, right?"

"Yup and there is it," I replied while pointing at the shop at the corner.

"Thanks, without you I would have never found it." Yumi answered while grinning at me.

We walked into The Bean and sat down in a booth near a huge window. A blond waitress walked up to us. She questioned "Good morning, I am Emma. Is there anything I can get for you guys?"

Yumi smiled and said, "I'll have a chocolate latte. My friend Alana said they are pretty good here." Emma nodded and quickly scribbled Yumi's order down hastily.

"I'm more of an espresso kind of guy." I answered when the blond looked at me.

"Ok you guys, I'll be back with your stuff in a bit." Suddenly the lights went out and a spotlight shone on to a stool in the center of the shop. A red haired guy dressed in black was sitting on it. "Looks like Joe is here today. He does freelance poetry here," Emma stated. "He's pretty intense." She smiled then walked away.

"Invited by a new age, where the tide of earth roars, lies a complex creature created by power greater than the universe itself. Organs pumping, blood flowing, brain cells churning, the body lays a peaceful as the forest yet has complicated as a super computer. The human body and is the most beautiful work of art ever created. Bones shaped to fit with each other, muscles contracting. Born into a world where the power that rests inside is wasted away, second by second. As the clock imprinted in the system stops ticking, the masterpiece starts to breakdown. Yet another beautiful creation burned and destroyed."

As the stage light dimmed, the poet Joe curled up in a ball as if he was dying. I was staring at him with my mouth wide open while Yumi bit her lip trying not to laugh.

"Pff!" she let out. She blushed and covered her mouth. We both agreed, that was the most awful poem ever created. Emma came back with our coffee and put it on our table.

"Thanks," Yumi answered politely, "but it's to go. Something came up." Emma looked at her confused, but then came back with our coffee in foamy cups and the bill. I left some Euros on the table and grabbed Yumi's hand, "Let's go before I explode, Joe absolutely sucked."

YUMI POV

I mentally swooned when Ulrich grabbed my hand. Racing out of The Bean, we ran into a park where we were able to sit on the bench and laugh our heads off. The poet at the coffee shop was the worst performance I have ever witnessed.

"Oh my god! Remember at the end when he bent his body in a ball, that was the absolute best!" Ulrich exclaimed.

"I know! I knew I was going to die of over exposure to corny poets if we stayed any longer!" I replied. We were laughing so hard that we basically fell of the bench. People were staring at us, but I didn't pay any attention to them. Ulrich stood up then offered me a hand to help me stand, too. Before I knew it, I had collapsed onto Ulrich from laughing so hard. A spine-tingling sensation ran up through my body from my head to my toes as my best friend helped me regain my composure. I obviously wanted him to be more than a friend though, but did he feel the same way?

"Err, thanks Ulrich. I'm sorry," I blushed and looked at the floor.

Ulrich put his hands in his pockets, teetered on his feet and mumbled, "No problem. "So, now that that idea crashed and burned, what do you want to do now?"

"Let's go exploring, maybe we will catch up with the rest of the guys," I said while smiling. I couldn't wait to tell Hannah all about our experience with Joe at The Bean.

NORMAL POV (-fast forwarding a bit-)

A Japanese girl and a brunette boy were both running side by side all around London. From feeding pigeons to trying to make the guards in front of the castle smile, the two roamed all over the beautiful city in the center of England.

"Hey Ulrich, I had a great time with you today. I wish I wasn't time to go back to school yet." said Yumi.

"Yeah, me too Yumi, but still have one last place to visit before we go back," he replied. Ulrich then pointed to the huge clock that was only a couple blocks down. "We haven't seen Big Ben up close and personal."

"Ok then, let's roll!" Yumi answered. She started to run down the block with Ulrich at her heel.

Ulrich and Yumi arrived in front of the building, just in time for it to strike 5:30. The bell rang out through London, alerting everybody the time.

"It's amazing. That clock has been around for such a long time!" Yumi exclaimed,"It still works too!"

Ulrich smiled and gazed at the face of the clock while Yumi slipped her arm around his waist. She rested her head on his shoulder. He bent down a bit and kissed her on the check. Yumi looked up at him.

"Sorry," he muttered sheepishly.

"You missed," Yumi answered.

"I missed?" Ulrich questioned. He then felt something brush against his lips. Yumi was actually kissing him! Before he knew it, he was sliding his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Then finally let go and looked into each other's eyes.

"I love you Yumi," was all Ulrich could stammer.
