Sorry that it took so long, and that it's short. The story will get better soon.

Ulrich's POV
He manu ke aloha, whatever else Odd said. What language is that anyway? It's most definitely not French, and not Japanese either. That's about all I know. Maybe its just gibberish, maybe it's some language that I don't know. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a language I don't know. Why won't he tell me what it means? I just want to know, it can't hurt anyone can it? I hope not anyway.
"Hey, where'd Kiwi go? I took him out earlier didn't I? Or maybe not, I can't remember. Why can't I remember? I thought Kiwi was in here." Odd babbled. I looked down to where Kiwi sat on my lap and Kiwi looked up, giving me a what-is-he-talking-about look.
"Odd, Kiwi's here." I reminded him gently, boy was he spacey today. I think he took one too many pain pills.
"Really? I wondered where he got to." Odd said, glancing over, "Oh, hey Kiwi!"
It's going to be a long day, I can tell.

Normal POV
"You want to come to my dorm?" William offered, not wanting to seem unfriendly, especially while Aelita was still upset and everyone else had disappeared.
"Sure." Aelita replied, not wanting to be alone again.
"Ok then, just one moment." William said with a nod as he opened his dorm door and stepping inside. There was the sound of paper and other things getting shoved uncaringly and quickly away and the wooden thud of the closet door closing before William's head appeared around the corner of the door, "Come on in." He said invitingly.
William flicked on the light, illuminating the small room as Aelita walked in. It was the same beige as the other rooms, with the same closet, the same desk, and the same bed. The only exception being the black and red bed sheets and a rather shabby looking black computer sitting on the desk, silver words bounced lazily across the screen but as Aelita peered closer William realized what she was doing and threw an old shirt at the computer, covering the screen. Aelita raised an eyebrow and glanced over at William questioningly.
"It's nothing you should worry about." He reassured her.
Aelita looked skeptical but let it drop, "So what do you think the guys are up to?" she asked.
"You never know with them." William shrugged.

"Odd," Ulrich said as he shook his friend's shoulder gently, Odd had fallen asleep a while ago. Ulrich really hated to wake him up but it was lunchtime.
"What?" Odd grumbled sleepily.
"Time for lunch." Ulrich replied softly. That got Odd's attention. He leapt out of bed and was at the door, holding it open before Ulrich could blink.
"What are we waiting for?" Odd asked playfully.
"Let's go then." Ulrich sighed with a smile, shaking his head. The pair walked down toward the cafeteria, Odd was strangely quiet.
Why is he so quiet? Ulrich wondered to himself as he followed his purple clad friend. They spotted William and Aelita sitting at a table that was all but empty. The table where they used to sit all together. Odd and Ulrich walked over to them and sat down opposite each other. Odd next to William and Ulrich next to Aelita.
"We were beginning to wonder where you two were." William said as they sat down.
"We were in hiding." Ulrich replied lightly, "Very noisily in hiding."
"Why? I wasn't that loud." Odd said.
"Odd, you never stopped talking, you babbled the whole time." Ulrich explained.
"I did? Sorry." Odd said, looking sheepish. Ulrich rolled his eyes passively.
