Yumi was wearing a burgundy colored dress that didn't have straps, it around her just under the collarbone. Yumi blushed, at least there was one way of knowing that she looked good, "Thanks, what color suit did you pick out?" Ulrich had regained his composure and handed Yumi the bag that the suit was in, "Black, you favorite color." Yumi laughed, "How sweet." Yumi handed Ulrich the suit back and looked at the clock, it was a quarter to seven! "Ulrich you better hurry or you won't be ready in time for the party." Ulrich looked at the clock, "I didn't think I spent that much time in the store." Yumi pushed Ulrich out the door towards the bathroom, "Well just get ready so we can leave." Ulrich turned around once he got inside the bathroom and locked the door. He stripped down and slipped the suit on. It was a bit big but it would have to do. As Ulrich made his way downstairs he noticed Yumi and her family waiting by the door for him. Ulrich quickly pulled on his black dress shoes that Mrs.Ishiyama had layed out for him. After everyone was ready to leave they all piled into Mr.Ishiyama's car and slowly drove off to the party. In his seat Ulrich shifted uncomfortably, Yumi hadn't noticed while he was in her room, but Ulrich had slid the little white box intended for her on Christmas in his pocket, now that he was in the car the little box was very uncomfortable in his tight pants pocket. Yumi watched Ulrich move around in his seat and grabbed his hand, "You ok?" Ulrich looked at Yumi and smiled, "No just moving around." Yumi looked at Ulrich for a minute, "Ok." Ulrich turned to look out the window but Yumi was still pondering why Ulrich was moving around so much. When Ulrich was not being truthful he wouldn't look at the person he was lying to, that was why Yumi was being suspicious. When they arrived at the party Ulrich quickly got out of the car to stop his discomfort. The building that the party was being held in looked like the factory to Ulrich and Yumi. The couples followed other people that were just arriving so they wouldn't get lost. Even if they wouldn't admit it all of them were lost. Once Ulrich, Yumi, and Yumi's parents made it to the dance floor they all dispersed. Ulrich and Yumi made their way to the buffet while Yumi's parents went to dance. Once Yumi and Ulrich had piled all that the buffet could offer on their plates they found a table and started to chow down. Half way threw his plate Ulrich whipped his hands on a napkin and turned to Yumi. He took one of her hands in his and looked into her eyes. Yumi didn't know what Ulrich was doing but she was pretty sure it was about whatever was making him bug out in the car. "Yumi I've been dieing to give this to you since I got it but I just can't wait for tomorrow to come." As Ulrich reached for his pocket there can an annoying voice from behind him. " O Ulrich dear." Ulrich didn't even half to turn around, he knew all too well who it was. Before Ulrich turned around he closed his eyes, Why did she have to chose right now of all the times in the world. Yumi looked up at Sissi and sighed, "Do you just follow us or is this by actual chance?" Sissi looked at Yumi as if saying butt out and turned to look at Ulrich, "So did you like my gift?" Ulrich stood up in front of Sissi, "No I didn't but I hope you like mine," Sissi looked at Ulrich surprisingly as he fished in his pocket. Ulrich pulled out a penny and held it up in front of Sissi's face, "Here go by some seeds maybe they'll grow and sprout you a brain." Yumi laughed from behind Ulrich. Ulrich turned back to Yumi and held out his hand, "May I have this dance?" Yumi put her hand in his and got up off her chair. The couple walked by Sissi who looked like she had dyed her face red she was so angry. "O Ulrich when will you realize that I'm the one you want and not that gothic piece of trash?" Ulrich quickly turned to face Sissi, so suddenly that it made Sissi step back a couple of steps. "Don't ever call her that again Sissi." Ulrich said. Sissi looked at Ulrich as if she was hurt, "O Ulrich I didn't call her something that bad." Yumi who was behind Ulrich blushed, she enjoyed it when Ulrich stood up for her. "Sissi it doesn't matter what you call her, don't call her anything bad in the future." Sissi was getting annoyed with Ulrich and Yumi, she walked away in a hurry towards the doors. Yumi laughed, "Thanks Ulrich." Ulrich turned around to face Yumi and blushed, "No problem." The couple made their way to the middle of the dance floor and slow danced for a while. Ulrich had his head in her ear, whispering the words to the songs that were continuously playing. Yumi had her arms around Ulrich neck and Ulrich had his at her waist. Yumi giggled as Ulrich started to slowly tickle her sides. Ulrich had become tired of the spaces between Yumi and himself so he decided to make her move around a bit. Yumi grabbed Ulrich's hands and whispered in his ear, "Ulrich stop." Ulrich got closer to Yumi, she could feel him smile, "Make me." Yumi laughed, "Then let's at least get out of this room." Ulrich nodded and they both headed towards the games room for the children. In the back of his head Ulrich was thinking about the perfect time to give Yumi her gift.
