.:PART 2:.
Yumi stood alone in the corner of the dance room. She had just managed to escape from William and wanted to know where Ulrich went. She listened as the last song of the dance began to play.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
Yumi could feel tears begin to sting her eyes. She didn't want to leave high school. She didn't want to go to Japan over the summer and she didn't want to go to college. She wanted to stay young and stay here with Ulrich, Odd, Aelita, and Jeremie. But she knew that nothing would ever be the same again… she would never be able to sneak out with the gang again… she would never be able to laugh at sleepovers with Aelita… she would never listen to Odd's stupid jokes again… she would never be able to see Ulrich blush again… she would never kiss Ulrich…. Yumi sniffed a little as she tried to hold back her tears.
Then suddenly… WHAM! Yumi found herself lying on the floor with Ulrich on top of her. She could hear Odd laughing in the distance. "Sorry Yumi… Odd came and-" Ulrich began while blushing furiously but stopped when he saw the tears in Yumi's eyes. "Yumi are you okay?" he asked as he stood up and helped Yumi to her feet.
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
Yumi worked hard to keep her tears from falling. "Yumi…?" Ulrich said cautiously as he looked into Yumi's eyes that were welling up with tears. Yumi looked into Ulrich sweet and caring eyes, and immediately felt herself melt. She simply shook her head as a tear fell from her eye and trickled down her cheek.
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
"Ulrich I don't want to leave… what if I never get to see you guys again?" Yumi said shakily. Ulrich felt miserable just looking into Yumi's tear filled eyes and gave her a warm hug.
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
"Yumi, it doesn't matter where we are, we will always be best friends," Ulrich said softly into her ear. Yumi took a deep breath and gulped. She had to tell him. This may be her last chance. "I love you," she whispered.
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
Ulrich pulled away from Yumi feeling stunned. He had always imagined the moment when he told Yumi his feelings, and each and every time he imagined it, he was always rejected. Now, Yumi was telling him her feelings. He opened his mouth to say he loved her back, but no words would come out. He just stood there in shock.
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
Yumi felt a sudden surge of confidence as she closed her eyes and leaned closer to Ulrich, hoping he would do the same. Their lips met and the two of them shared their very first kiss. In the distance they could here cheering and whistles, but Yumi and Ulrich were too focused on each other to notice what was going on around them.
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
Jeremie and Aelita watched as Yumi and Ulrich finally kissed.
"Wow, finally they kiss," Jeremie said to Aelita, putting a lot of emphasis on the word finally. Aelita just smiled in happiness. She was smiling so much, it almost made her cheeks hurt. Out of happiness, she pulled Jeremie towards her and kissed him. Odd watched the two couples kiss jealously.
"Aww, man," Odd said sighing and feeling alone, but also happy because his plan of pushing Ulrich into Yumi worked. He suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around him.
"Aren't you going to ask me to dance?" Sam asked smirking as she released him. Odd grinned and began dancing with his girlfriend.
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
Yumi pulled away from Ulrich, feeling as happy as she had been in years. In fact, maybe she had never been this happy.
"I love you too," Ulrich said grinning as he looked into Yumi's eyes. Yumi could tell by the tone of his voice and the twinkle in his eyes that he really meant it. It was so sweet it made Yumi want to melt. Instead, she squeezed Ulrich into a hug.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Yumi took her bags from Ulrich and gently set them in the car. Ulrich was saying goodbye to Yumi before she left for the airport.
"I guess this is… goodbye Ulrich…" Yumi said sadly.
"No, it's not goodbye yet Yumi. We'll see each other again, don't worry," Ulrich told her trying to cheer her up. Yumi smiled.
"Promise you'll call me tonight?" she asked.
"Promise," Ulrich stated grinning. Yumi tried to take one last look at Ulrich to remember him by, but she just couldn't do it. She kissed him full on the lips one last time before hugging him and getting in the car with her family. She waved through the back window of the mini van. Ulrich waved back, attempting to look cheerful.
As soon as the car was out of reach, Ulrich dropped onto Yumi's grassy lawn next to the "for sale" sign. He gripped his head and moaned a little in anger. He knew he wasn't going to see Yumi for probably more than a few years; maybe less than a few years if he was lucky. All along, after six years of crushing on Yumi, it turned out she liked him back after all.
Ulrich wondered what would have happened if he had told Yumi he liked her six years ago. Would they still be friends? Would they be dating? Would he be on the plane with Yumi on his way to Japan with her in a few hours? Ulrich just sighed and walked back to his high school in sadness knowing that he had lost the one he truly loved.
