A Symbol Of Our Love

Chapter 8

A Dance Under The Moonlight

Angel

I hold you close and feel safe,
sheltered in from the rain,
from the storms that grow and surround me.
I take your hand and look into your eyes
and see a heart made of gold and soul so pure.

You see you are an angel, an angel to me.
I could not help but fall madly in love with you,
the one who stole my heart.

I'm glad you did
because I could never find one such as you...
Some one who makes each day the best,
each laugh the longest,
each tear the saddest,
and a life, my life, worthwhile.

I have noticed a mistake in my last chapter, I said tenth grade when I meant 12th grade, sorry about that. Very last chapter of my story, I'll get my sequel out as fast as I can, hope you enjoyed the poem I wrote up there, it's for Josh! Thanks you guys! I love you guys!


"Wow..."

Yumi came out of her room with an off the shoulder dress with black boots. She put light makeup on, pink eyeshadow and light red lipstick. She put her hair up with a clip and wore a red bracelet.

Yumi laughed slightly, "So, isn't Josh suppose to pick you up from your dorm?"

"No, I asked him to pick me up from your house."

Kira on the other hand wore a black shirt that said, "I'll rock your world." With a black leather skirt, she wore a black belt with diamonds, sideways, with over the knee boots. She also put her hair up with a clip, she wore blue eyeshadow and sparkling brown lipstick.

"Cool!"

Right then, the doorbell rang.

"YUMI, IT'S FOR YOU!"

"Coming! It's probably Ulrich, I'll see you at the dance."

Kira nodded at her as she ran downstairs and greeted Ulrich with a kiss. Kira smiled as the two couples walked to the dance hand in hand.

Yumi's mom came up to make sure that Kira was alright.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

The doorbell rang again and Kira ran downstairs.

"Wow... you look... amazing." Josh managed to say as he saw Kira when she met up with him at the door.

"So do you."

They walked out and said their goodbyes to Yumi's mom. Kira looked up when they arrived at the dance and saw Josh walk off to meet new people, girls... Kira looked down in disappointment, she thought today would be the best day of her life! Yumi was dancing with Ulrich and she didn't want to bother them, Aelita was hanging out with Odd and Jeremy. Who else was there?

"Kristy?"

Kira flinched at the name, that was the name she had at her old school... Wasatch. (true, true, Kristy is my real name.)

Kristy/Kira turned around and saw her best friend... Andrew. (He's my friend, truly!)

"ANDREW!" She ran up and hugged him, even as best friends, they never hugged EVER! Kristy had skipped a grade... she was suppose to be in seventh grade with Andrew...

"Um... hey..."

"I thought you were in Utah!"

"I was, but it's vacation and my parents let me see you, so how's life?"

"Uh... great..."

"Kristy... I know that look, what's wrong?"

Kristy looked up to see the same old Andrew, his brown haired shag, blue eyes, his white skin, and the worried look he had when Kristy cried.

"I just miss my old friends..."

"I see, here let's go outside, you can explain then."

They walked outside, the moon glowing like all nights, it's light seemed like a soft smile.

"Care to explain?"

Kristy looked down and told him all about Lyoko, about her father and XANA, her friends, and Josh.

Andrew then looked at her, and asked, "Remember? In class, we would always pass notes to each other. People always trying to figure out what we say to each other? My friend Daelon would always keep all the notes and refused to give it back? That's how we became friends, you threw a piece of paper at me and I wrote to you 'HI HI HI HI!' and you wrote back. Well, think about times like that, when you had a fun time."

Kristy clearly remembered that, she would always aim for his head, and he would aim for hers. They had become great friend from day one, they would send notes all the time, sit by each other all the time, even made fun of their own friends together... well except for Daelon, he was part of the group too, except he was better friends with Andrew then Kristy, but of course Daelon has known him since probably six years old! But they never... NEVER, left each other lonely, even if they didn't have a class together for that hour and thirty minutes, they would always write notes to slip into their lockers, course... Daelon stole most of the notes Kristy wrote to Andrew, or Andrew wrote to Daelon, but besides that, they were best friends.

"Of course I remember, that was when I became friends with you, and Daelon! I would never forget, I always think about those times... Anyways, hows Daelon?"

"Same as always, asking me about how you were doing, being whack like always..."

They were both the same, after meeting Kristy, Andrew began to talk more, he was always the quiet one, even to Madeja... who apparently was still whining about the boy that she liked didn't like her back.

"Come back with me." Andrew said suddenly.

"What?"

"Come back, Daelon and all your friends want you to come back."

"I... I don't know."

"Well, then think about it later... It's getting cold out here, lets go back inside."

Kristy nodded and followed Andrew inside.


Yumi and Ulrich sat down watching Josh with hatred, Kira (they don't know Kira's real name is Kristy) had looked so sad when he walked off and talked to other girls, which he still was doing.

"He is evil..." Yumi whispered (they're hyper right now)

"Yeah... he shouldn't do that to Kira! OH HE'S GONNA GET IT!"

Yumi laughed at Ulrich as he smiled.

Ulrich loved to see her laugh, she always seemed so happy, like nothing could ever go wrong.

"WHO THE HECK IS THAT?"

Yumi exclaimed as she saw Kira coming in with a boy that she didn't remember ever seeing.

"Dunno, why ask me?" Ulrich said eyes wide open as well

They stared at them a bit longer before...

"HI ULRICH DEAR!"

"Sissi..." He murmured.

"Wanna dance?"

"No..."

"Why?"

"Shut up."

"No. Dance."

"NO!"

"Why not?"

"Bite me."

Sissi then stomped off defeated as Yumi laughed at her.

"When did you learn to say that to her?"

"Since I learned that telling her to go fly a kite didn't work."

Yumi laughed once more. Ulrich then got up and walked over to her, held out his hand and asked her, "Wanna dance?"

"Sure, I'd love to."

They got up and walked to the dance floor.

"I was thinking about outside Yumi..."

"Why?"

Ulrich slowly grabbed her hand and led her outside.

"What? Why out he..." Yumi trailed off looking at the sky which shone with stars and the full moon.

"Wow..." Yumi once again said

Ulrich then took her hand and started to dance with her, it was a dance under the moonlight.

Yumi was in heaven, the other dances she had with any boy wasn't like this at all, Ulrich was different, and she would never, never leave his side.

But the sound of screaming destroyed the moment...

"What's going on?"

They ran inside and saw everybody laughing at Sissi, who was apparently soaking wet, and the one who screamed.

"Thank you XANA!" Ulrich murmured grateful that it wasn't an activated tower or anything.

Then Ulrich realized that there was no sign of who threw the water ballon and that Jeremy, Aelita, Kira, and even the boy was missing.

"What do you think?"

"I think, they just went somewhere to dance..." Yumi said not believing that they would leave without them if it was a XANA attack.

"Ok..."

They went back outside and danced once more, but this time, it wasn't as romantic as before.


Well, I think I'll leave it at that, I'm sorry this wasn't as good as the others, I like just lost mybest friend yesterday because, Andrew and Daelon (Daelon is the one I lost) both had a crush on me and apparently I loved Andrew. So then we got in a huge argument because I didn't want him to feel bad, so I lied to him a bit about me liking hm more then Andrew, which part of it is true, but he didn't believe me... Sorry I'm always telling you about my problems, sometimes you guys are all I have.
