Here's the first of couple of romantic tales on the CL Gang. R&R
Ulrich & Yumi's First Date
Ulrich and Yumi were in the cafeteria, working out
their plans for the weekend.
"So we set for Friday night"
Ulrich asked, spearing a meatball unto his fork.
"Yep. Pick
me up at 7:00. Don't be late" she said, running her foot up his
leg.
Ulrich went wide, and he choked slightly on his food. Yumi
grinned and stood up.
Ulrich watched as she walked away,
smiling.
One person though, was not smiling. "A date? They're
going on a date!" Sissi snarled. "Well, we'll just see
about that!". She stood up from the table and left, Nick and
Herb looking at each other worriedly.
"Remember" Odd
said, watching Ulrich getting ready, "Don't talk with food in
your mouth, no burping after a soda, and use a horror flick to get
her to cuddle up to you". "Gee, thanks for the advice Odd"
Ulrich said flatly, pulling on his jacket. "See you later"
he said, walking out.
"Much later!" Odd shouted after him.
He grabbed a taxi outside the
school, never noticing another taxi following him.
"OK, stay
with him no matter what" Sissi said. "Hey, it's your money"
the driver said.
Ulrich got out at Yumi's house. "Be right
back" he said. He walked up the door and rang the bell. The door
swung open, revealing the figure of Yumi's dad.
"Uh hello, Mr
Ishiyima" Ulrich said weakly. "Grrr" he growled,
looking down on Ulrich. "Oh honey, leave him alone" Yumi's
mom said, dragging him away.
"Nice to see you again Ulrich.
Have a nice night" she said, pulling her husband to the other
room, silencing him with a hand over his mouth.
"Sorry about
that" Yumi said. "Ready to go?". "I,I"
Ulrich went.
She was wearing the same outfit from Teddygozilla:
black top with sleeves, red skirt, red striped stockings and black
boots. The last time he didn't have time to look at it, but this
time...
"Hey Ulrich, are we going or what?". "Huh?
Oh yeah, let's go" he said.
Taking her hand they walked to
the cab. "Corner of Fifth and Ancher please."
"Follow
them" Sissi said, angrily gripping the seat beneath her.
She
watched them entered a restaurant, gnashing her teeth.
Ulrich and
Yumi sat down at their table. The waiter came around and asked them
if they wanted something to drink. "I'll have a Coke. Yumi?"
"Me too please."
The waiter left and silence descended.
Clearing his throat Ulrich said "So, uh, Yumi, what do you think
of this place?". Yumi smiled at him.
"It's very nice.
Uh, do you come here often?". "Uh no, no, first
time."
Silence again. "Ulrich, this is silly" Yumi
said. "Yeah" Ulrich agreed. The rest of the dinner went
better after the awkward moment. "Great meal" Yumi
said.
"Yeah. Come on, let's go. The evening's still on."
They got up, paid the bill and left the restaurant. They started
walking up the street when Ulrich pointed to the park.
"Shortcut.
We can get to the cinema faster if we go through there."
They
made their way to the crossing. They were about to walk over when a
cab suddenly swooped down the street. "Yumi, look out!"
Ulrich shouted, grabbed her.
The cab hit the large puddle of water
next to them, sending a wave up and over them. Ulrich held Yumi close
to him, shielding her against it. "Bastard!" he shouted
after the speeding vehicle.
"You Ok?" he asked Yumi. "Uh, sure." Yumi said, blushing.
"Thanks Ulrich". "No
problem" Ulrich said, blushing just as hard.
In the cab Sissi
almost screamed of anger.
In the park they walked hand in hand.
Yumi started shivering slightly from the wind. Ulrich took off his
jacket and put it over her before they continued walking on in
comfortable silence.
With a sudden"Hiyaah!" two masked kids jumped out, knifes in their hands.
"Give us your money" one said
menacingly.
A minute later and both were lying flat on the
ground, moaning. Ulrich and Yumi smiled at each other and walked
on.
Next morning Ulrich woke up, and smiled. "Have a good
night?" Odd smirked, playing with Kiwi on his bed. Ulrich just
smiled. Later on they went down to the cafeteria for food. On the way
they saw Herb and Nicholas sitting on a bench outside, sporting
bruises, a black eye and bloody noses, Sissi yelling at them.
"Wow,
I wondered what happened to them" Odd said. "Ah who knows"
Ulrich replied.
