Author's Note: Hey guys…here I am with the next one-shot! Hope you all like it! And, you guys probably have a list of people in your head that give Ulrich advice…Sissy, Yumi, Aelita, Jeremie, Odd, Sam, Emily, Herb, Nick, William… Hehe! The list goes on and on! Well, let's see if you were right! Hope you like!

Also, yesterday (January 3) was a sad/depressing day for me so I'm still upset and if this one-shot sucks you know why.

Be Careful With What You Say…Or Type

Yumi smiled at us, the wind blowing through her hair. "Well, it's getting late…I better get home before I get in trouble…"

Everyone said bye, telling her they'd see her later. I didn't say a word. I continued to stare at the path she had walked down even after she was out of sight, oblivious to everything-and everyone-around me.

"Ulrich, you got it bad!" Odd told me. I snapped back to reality, blushing a little but not showing it.

"Shut up!" I replied. I was used to him saying that; he told me at least once a day. I shoved him a little as we walked down the path to the dorm room, whilst Odd was giving me a hard time and Aelita was trying to shut him up.

Jeremie and Aelita left us later, going to their own dorms and I collapsed on my bed, closing my eyes.

"I love her…?"

What was going on with me? I'd never been this way before…Sure I've had crushes on other girls before…but I've never felt this way…

"Do I love her?"

She was perfect…she had beauty, brains, a kind heart…and my heart ached because somewhere, deep inside me, I knew she'd never love me.

Odd came in a couple of seconds later, he had stopped to talk to one of his friends. He took on look at me and smiled.

"You got it bad…"

There he went again, but, I didn't care anymore. I just shrugged, staring at the poster on the wall by my bed. Odd sat down on his bed, petting Kiwi's stomach. "Sam's coming over today. Why don't you call Yumi and ask if she wants to go to a movie with all of us… Aelita and Einstein can come too."

(A/N: have you noticed I like movies?)

I nodded, that didn't sound like a bad idea… it'd be like we were actually on a date, and my friends would be there in case I did something stupid.

"I'll just walk down to her house…I need some fresh air…"

Odd agreed, standing in front of the mirror putting more gel in his hair to give him that Dragon Ball Z look. I didn't know how Sam could like that, but I dislodged the thought and walked out of the dorm.

I had just enough time to get out of the dorm before Jim would start patrolling, so I hurried down the stairs, holding my breath every time I heard a teacher, but they either didn't see me, or just didn't care. Finally I made it out the door.

The wind nipped at my bare arms but I didn't notice, the only thing on my mind right now (and the only thing usually on my mind) was Yumi. Odd was wrong. He had said that she loved me too, but I knew she didn't.

If she did, she would've said something by now… after I told her that I loved her because of Sissy's note. If she knew how I felt, she wouldn't be scared to tell me her feelings. No, we were just best friends…and even if I was happy with that, it still tore me apart on the inside, slowly eating away at my heart.

I got to her house without remembering that I had started walking or even turned down her street. I shrugged the thought away and rang the doorbell, hearing yelling and then the door handle started turning. Then Hiroki stood at the door, beaming and yelling, "Yumi, your boyfriend is here!"

"Hiroki!" I heard her yell from the top of the stairs. If not the situation, I probably would've laughed. Then I couldn't remember why it was I had come, since my mind had been so full.

She arrived at the door a few seconds later, smiling at me and saw me holding my arms. "Come in!"

I took her invitation and followed her into the house, immediately warming up. I liked how the walls were decorated with Japanese things; somehow making everything feel cozy.

We went up to her room, and she sat down on the bed. "What's up?"

I smiled, suddenly remembering why I had walked all the way down here. "Well, we were all going to see a movie. Wanna come?"

"Sure!" She said happily, grabbing a jacket (black of course) and running down the stairs, with me behind her.

"Okaa-san! I'm going to the movies okay?" she yelled. Her mother just nodded and we hurried back out into the cold.

(A/N: Okaa-san is one way to say mother in Japanese, just in case you didn't know.)

We sat in the theatre, watching a move whose name I couldn't remember. Something about Japanese girls, which I hoped Yumi would like. Odd sat on my left, Sam next to him, then Aelita and Jeremie. Yumi sat on my right, at the beginning of the row.

I tried to watch the movie, but couldn't concentrate. Odd kept nudging me, telling me to grab her hand or put my arm around her, but I always declined. After all, we were just friends.

When the movie ended, everyone went back to school and I walked Yumi home. It was probably midnight or so.

"Thanks Ulrich. I had fun." She said happily when we got to her front door.

I smiled. "Yeah. So did I……Yumi?"

She turned from opening her door and looked at me with a smile. "What's up?"

My heart jumped to my throat. "Uh…never mind…"

I took off running down the street before she could say another word. I felt like such a fool.

I snuck back in to school and went immediately to Jeremie's room. I knocked with no answer, so I turned the knob and walked in. Something everyone knew about Jeremie, (well at least his friends) was that he always left his door unlocked in case of a Xana attack.

I saw him in bed, his eyes pinned shut, his glasses on his bedside table. He was muttering things in his sleep about Aelita and how he couldn't wait to find the anti-virus.

I held back my laughter as I walked over to him. "Jeremie, can I borrow your computer?"

He rolled in his sleep, muttering something that sounded like yes, so I smiled and sat at his desk, opening the Internet file.

There had to be something there to help me. I sat searching for an hour for something to give me advice or someone to have typed up a story about how they told their boyfriend/girlfriend that they loved them. (A/N: as in, "I love you" then they hook up.)

I was about to give up when a pop up came up for a dating site. I clicked it and read the labels that lead to the different things the site had. One was a chat room.

I joined, typing in a name to call myself. I couldn't think of anything so I put YIlover and joined with other people.

I didn't know what to do now that I was here. The list of chat rooms came up and I saw one that says "Love Stinks". I clicked it.

A lot of people were in there, talking in little groups to each other. I wasn't sure what to say so I quietly typed, "I need advice about a girl. If anyone could help me, I'd really appreciate it…"

I waited a second and a screen came up. Obviously someone from the chat room had messaged me privately.

CoNfUsEd FoReVeR: Hey!

I stared at it and typed a reply, saying Hi back.

CoNfUsEd FoReVeR: You needed advice?

I typed yes.

YIlover: I really like this girl and she's one of my best friends. But I don't know how she feels about me and I don't know if I should tell her how I feel or not, or how to say it.

They took a minute reading over it, I guess thinking of what to say.

CoNfUsEd FoReVeR: Well, how often do you guys hang out?

I smiled to myself: a lot. We hung out a lot, but, no one would understand that even though we saw each other a lot, it didn't mean anything. Especially because of Xana.

So I explained this to him or her and another second later I received another message.

CoNfUsEd FoReVeR: What's YI?

YIlover: That's her initials.

CoNfUsEd FoReVeR: Cute!

However they were seemed eager to help me and they said that I should just explain how I felt, because she probably felt the same way.

YIlover: Yeah, my friend Odd says she feels the same way, but I'm not sure…

They didn't reply for the longest time, then typed G2G and left.

I looked over at Jeremie as I heard him snore and roll over, muttering "Aelita". I exited out of everything and snuck out of his room.

The next day came too quickly for me, and I groggily got up and went down to breakfast, glad that it was Saturday.

Odd was already there (A/N: of course!) and Jeremie joined us soon after.

"It's so weird. This morning I got up and scanned for any Xana attacks and got an email from some love website thanking me for visiting. For some odd reason they called me YIlover…"

His eyes immediately fell on me, and I looked down at my tray, pretending not to notice his glances.

"Hey Ulrich…you wouldn't know anything about this would you?"

Thank God Yumi sat down right after that, smiling happily. "Hey guys!"

She looked with dismay down at her tray, and then passed it to Odd, who eagerly accepted it.

Jeremie went up to the line to get some food, letting our little 'talk' pass for the time being. Yumi looked at me with a shy smile.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

I nodded and got up, following her outside.

She looked at the ground once we'd stopped, seeming to see something very interesting.

Finally she looked up at me and began to talk.

"What was Jeremie talking about?"

She had obviously been standing there longer than I had thought.

"He thinks I went on his computer last night for some odd reason…"

"Oh," was her reply and she took a seat under the tree we were standing by, trying to think of what to say in her mind, or, at least that's what it looked like.

"What's up?"

"Lemme just say this quickly. Last night I was surfing on the computer and joined a chat room," I gasped, my heart stopped beating, and for a single second I was unaware of anything around me.

"And gave some guy some advice about the girl he loved…"

I looked away from her. "Obviously you know where this is going…" she muttered.

I nodded, "That was you?"

She nodded, a small smile on her face.

"You…really love me?"

I felt my cheeks go hot as I nodded, staring at my feet.

She didn't say anything for awhile, then smiled and took my hand, interlacing our fingers.

"I……love you too…"

Again my heart stopped beating and I started blushing deeper, until both of us were extremely red.

"What's going on?" asked Odd, putting a friendly arm around me.

He looked down at our hands and Yumi quickly let go, our blushes only growing.

He burst out into a huge smile. "About time!"

"I'll leave you two alone!" And with that he skipped off, singing, "Ulrich's in love, Ulrich's in love!"

Yumi smiled at him. "Wanna chase him?"

I nodded, and she grabbed my hand and we chased him all the way to our dorm.

I love her.

I was thinking about making them kiss, then decided not too, cause that's usually how things end and I wanted to change this one a little. Don't hate me. Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed and when you review, tell me if you knew it'd be Yumi.

Oh, and by the way, she doesn't say this but useless fact. Yumi had joined the same chat room to get advice on Ulrich. I was thinking about making her name more interesting, or something that fit her but I thought it might give it away.

Anyway, hope everyone liked, and again, sorry if it sucked, but I've been really depressed lately.

Next one-shot: Sam's POV on Odd. (Also, I don't really know too well about Sam's dialect and stuff, so tell me how she would speak and stuff)

Sam gets offered a modeling job in America, and is thinking of taking it. Can Odd show her why she should stay before it's too late?
