PhantasyDreamer: Hey I'm back! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year and all the rest. I'm sorry for the late update but things just got in the way. Just one thought. In the reviews, I realized that some of you thought that this was a Sissy and Ulrich story. But I'm sorry to disappoint you because it isn't. It's a Yumi and Ulrich story. I'm so sorry that you got mislead but I thought I made it clear in the summary but I guess I was wrong. I know I might lose some reviews but I just wanted to say that. Anyway, I'll stop talking now so you all can read the story. Enjoy!
Secret of the Heart
Chapter 2: New Powers
Last time: Jeremy typed away above as a red exclamation mark came up on the screen. He held his mouth open in shock.
"What is it Jeremy?" Odd asked wondering what the beeping noise on the screen meant.
"Oh no," he said as if in shock, "X.A.N.A's attacking."
The story continues…
"What's the problem?" Aelita asked looking intently at the screen, "Have you discovered what he's attacking yet?"
"No I haven't." he looked at the three teens behind him, "You three head to the scanner room now!"
They all nodded in response to his statement and walked towards the door waiting until the door of the elevator opened. Yumi stood on the left while Odd stood on the right and Aelita stood in the middle. As soon as the doors shut, Odd immediately pushed the red button which caused the elevator to move down one floor. Jeremy looked back at the screen again.
'X.A.N.A. sure knows how to give me a headache.' he thought adjusting his glasses while continuing to type on the keyboard.
-------------
Ulrich looked around at the scenery which was the forest region. Tall trees waved high above them as the green grassy ground engulf everything else. They were a far distance from a neutral tower and if X.A.N.A was planning to attack they would have their hands full. Especially since Sissy barely knew what or how to use her powers. He smiled at her warmly while she returned the smile. Sighing he looked up in the air.
"Hey Jeremy, what's that you were saying a minute ago?" he asked looking at Sissy who had a weird look on her face.
"X.A.N.A's launched an attack. I've sent the others to come out and help but I haven't quite figured out what he's attacking yet." Jeremy replied from above.
"Do you think that's wise? I mean since we don't know what he's attacking?" he asked touching his sword at his side.
"I have no choice Ulrich. It's risky but I have to take the chance," he stated seriously, "in the meantime I'll tell you Sissy's powers."
"Okay." he sighed shrugging to the uneasy feeling he was getting.
"I have powers?" Sissy asked as if in shock, "Wow! This Lyoko thing is even better than I thought!"
Jeremy suppressed a smile from above adjusting his microphone once again.
"Okay Sissy, your two powers are the celestial sniper and the lightning rod." he explained, "The celestial sniper is a specially designed bow and arrow that can hit X.A.N.A's monsters with great accuracy. Also the lightning rod is a retractable rod that releases electrical impulses that pack a punch."
"Seems like Sissy's powers are even better than ours." Ulrich replied laughing a little.
"I guess so." she giggled.
"Well, I wouldn't say that, it's just different to put it mildly." Jeremy chuckled, "Oh, oh I have bad news you guys, hornets at four o'clock!"
"Hornets!" Sissy echoed looking to the sky.
The two teens looked up to see four hornets flying above them. The hornets looked like big brown giant bee like creatures with a stinger on the end of its body. It held X.A.N.A's symbol, which is an eye like design on the top of its head. The four hornets flew down rapidly at them while Sissy stood still in shock not knowing what to do. Ulrich ran in front of her holding his sword firmly in his hands.
He wore a yellow headband that was tied in a knot behind his head which raked his short brown hair slightly. A yellow designed shirt that had a dark brown patterned designed jacket like shirt that came over the shirt inside. It was very low in the front coming to his stomach revealing the yellow designed shirt underneath. He also wore dark brown tights along with long sleeve brown gloves that exposed his fingers. On his feet laid brown sandals and a metallic brace like embodiment around his shin bone and a green like waist band. He stood in front of Sissy protectively eyeing the monsters seriously.
"Let me handle this Sissy." he replied confidently deflecting the attacks with his sword.
"Okay." she stated sounding a bit frightened.
Ulrich jumped high into the air knocking two of the hornets out with his sword. The impact of the blade caused the hornets to crumble into bits, slowly disappearing from the virtual world. He looked in Sissy's direction to see the other two hornets heading straight towards her.
'Sissy!' he thought looking at her as they zoned in on her like she was a target.
She closed her eyes in shock not knowing what to do, raising her hand in an attempt to stop the attack she squirmed slowly.
"Super sprint!" he screamed as he rushed in front of her blocking the attack.
His sword reflected one of the attacks and hit one of the hornets leaving the other one alone. Realizing it was alone, it flew away. Ulrich smirked at his victory, he had defeated them alone. He looked at Sissy who held a bewildered look on her face.
"Sissy, are you alright?" Ulrich asked shaking her hand lightly.
After realizing what was going on she gave him a weak smirk, still feeling a bit scared.
"Don't worry Sissy, it isn't as scary as you think." he smirked trying to comfort her.
"I know it's just that I didn't expect it to be like this." she looked at him sadly.
"Oh don't worry you'll get use to it soon enough."
"Are you two okay down there?" the young blond questioned sounding a bit frightened.
"Just dandy Jeremy." he smirked at Sissy who just frowned, "When are the others coming? I could really use the help. Sissy's not as confident as I thought she would be."
He gazed at her putting on the nicest smile he could salvage. But she just held an evil frown. Ulrich felt bad, he didn't mean anything by it but he just thought she wouldn't be so frightened. After all she was so determined and acted so brave all the time. He just assumed that she wouldn't get so scared. But could you blame her? This was all new to her and slowly he realized that she would handle it a little different from the others of course since they were accustomed to it. Sissy gazed at Ulrich wondering why he had said that.
'How dare he?' she thought frowning.
"I am too," she retort back at him feeling a little angry by his comment, "I'll show you Ulrich, just how confident I can be."
He sighed a little, deciding not to say anything further that would make her even more mad.
'Oh what have I done now?'
Sissy grabbed her golden bow from behind her back, which was laid across the big pink bow that was strapped below her bust coming down to her stomach. She had listened to every detailed instruction that Jeremy had given her about her weapons and decided to try it out now more than ever. At least now she could show Ulrich for sure that she was brave and confident. Ulrich looked up immediately to see a mega tank roll up towards them along with the lonely hornet. Sissy was too busy fiddling with her bow and arrow to realize what was going on.
Ulrich watched in horror as the round metallic ball monster widened itself showing off X.A.N.A.'s eye like symbol. It started to glow slowly aiming at its target…Sissy. The monster let loose its beam and Ulrich ran straight towards Sissy pushing her out of the way while getting hit by the laser in the process. He winched in pain at the impact on his shoulder. Electrical sparks could be seen around the area as he touched it a little. Sissy got up and rushed to his side.
"Ulrich, are you alright!" she screamed at him while he just brushed himself off standing firmly as he looked at the monster, "You could have been killed!"
"I'm fine Sissy," he stated in a monotone accent, "I can't get kill in Lyoko unless…well that's not the point. Remember when I told you about life points?"
He asked and she just nodded a yes.
"Well, I'll just lose them and if I lose them all, then I go back to the real world."
She smiled as she finally understood what was going on.
She turned her attention back to the mega tank that had rolled back a few yards from them. It came back closer shooting a high beam laser at them as the lonely hornet set its sight on Ulrich. The two teens ran out of the way and hid behind a nearby tree. Sissy turned to Ulrich who was leaning on the tree bark while she stood next to him, trying to suppress her smile but she couldn't help it. He looked so cute in his uniform or adorable was more the word. She felt a little happy that she was finally dating him after all her years of dreaming. It had finally come true and Ulrich was now at last her boyfriend. She couldn't express how exciting it was to be on Lyoko with him, finally being accepted into his group, although Yumi was not too happy about it.
'Yumi.' she thought frowning, 'Wait a minute I have more important things to think about than her. Like that giant ball out there, how am I going to beat it and prove to Ulrich that I'm brave?'
She sighed as it continued to shoot lasers at them. It was now or never, she had to do something and besides that they had to wait on the others. To her, she thought that she might as well learn to use her powers now before she got embarrassed in front of his friends. She moved from behind the tree and stood right in front of the monster ignoring Ulrich's pleads of losing life points. Gazing at it sternly, she took out her bow and arrow again and aimed at the target. She zoned in on her target holding the small arrows firmly and then fired.
"Sniper arrow!" she yelled as two small arrows were released.
The two arrows traveled to the monster slowly and then stretched out into large arrows. One hit the mega tank right on its symbol and the other missed and hit Ulrich instead, right on the knee.
"Hey watch it!" he snapped.
"Sorry I'm just getting use to it." she forced a smile as she looked up to see the lonely hornet once again.
'Boy this thing won't give up now will it?'
The hornet buzzed around them shooting lasers violently, it missed Sissy a few yards and went straight for Ulrich. It was as if the creature had a special hatred for the boy but it made sure that Ulrich was the one it was really after. It fired a laser and hit Ulrich on his leg. Slowly a small ice like box began to form around his leg making it impossible for him to move. He looked up at creature as it got ready to hit him. It fired again knocking his sword out of his hand. He frowned, there was nothing he could do but wait for impact.
"Sniper arrow!" Sissy yelled once again firing an arrow but unfortunately missed.
The hornet fired a heavy laser at her, knocking her to the floor. She lay on the grass in pain.
"Sissy!"
KADIC ACADEMY
Two young boys stood outside in the hall speaking softly to each other. It was still high afternoon, about five o'clock now and things were looking as normal as possible. But unfortunately, the two boys were angry about something or a particular someone mainly because they couldn't get their way. The raven hair boy with glasses named Herb was speaking very softly to his friend Nicholas. They were alone discussing something that matter very much to them.
"...And then she said she doesn't want to be friends with me anymore." Herb replied looking rather sad.
"Are you sure Sissy would say such a thing?" the blond boy asked folding his arms across his chest.
"Yes Nicholas, I'm sure." he muttered looking around to see if anyone was listening, "Ever since she started dating that loser, Ulrich she doesn't speak to me or even acknowledge my presence. She just cares about him and him alone."
"What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know." he sighed in defeat.
They remained silent as an elderly man approached them looking as serious as possible. He had short grayish hair, a mustache and a beard. He wore a dark brown business suit with a light brown vest like shirt over the white shirt and tie underneath along with black shoes. He waved to students passing by as he proceeded closer towards the two boys. He looked very serious as if mad about something.
"Have you two boys seen Sissy?" he asked sternly.
"No, I haven't principal Delmas." Nicholas smiled wearily.
'I bet they're in Ulrich's dorm room.' Herb thought angrily, feeling jealousy take over his conscience.
The principal looked at them in disbelief. For some reason he wasn't too convinced since he knew his daughter would usually hang out with them. He stared at Herb and could see the anger in his eyes. Something was not right and he was determined to find out what it was.
"That's strange," the principal said tapping his chin in thought, "I wonder where she could be? I have to take her to her dentist appointment and I was sure she would be here with you two. Well, since she's not here, I guess I will have to keep looking then."
He smiled as he waved to them turning to leave but before he could get far Herb stopped him.
"I think I know where she is."
"You do?" he looked at the young boy skeptically.
"She's with Ulrich in his room."
AT THE FACTORY
Jeremy continued to stare at the computer screen as many dialog boxes popped up onto the desktop of the computer. He tried everything he knew but still there was no chance of him finding out what X.A.N.A was doing.
'I gotta find out what X.A.N.A's up to, it's our only hope.' he thought staring at the screen, 'Oh no!'
He looked at the screen in shock. He typed in a few codes and then sighed. He composed himself and started the virtualization process. At least now that, that simply problem was cleared up he could get the guys to Lyoko safely. The only other problem he had was to figure out what X.A.N.A was attacking.
"You guys ready down there?"
"As ready as we can be Jeremy." Yumi replied hastily from below.
"Okay here we go." he smirked bringing up their profile cards.
"Scanner Odd! Scanner Yumi! Scanner Aelita!" he replied as the three teens began to rise in the machines below as the scanner scanned their bodies.
"Transfer Odd! Transfer Yumi! Transfer Aelita!" heavy wind rushed against their faces pushing their hair high in the air.
"Virtualization!"
-------------
The hornet came closer towards Sissy and Ulrich, gathering power in a red glow of light as it got ready to strike them at any minute. Sissy didn't know what to do. She had already tried using her powers and had hurt Ulrich in the process. Now his right leg was trapped in some type of ice box. He squirmed as he waiting for the impact of the laser on his body.
"Laser arrow!" came a shout as a small arrow hit the hornet right in the symbol.
Turning around they looked up to see the three other teens standing behind them. Odd smiled away as he lowered his hand. Sissy slowly got off of the grass and looked at him.
"It's about time you guys got here." Ulrich smirked as he turned to his friends picking up his sword while eyeing Yumi with a frown, he turned back to Odd and Aelita, "What took you guys so long?"
"Jeremy had a slight bug to fix with the scanners." Odd replied hastily.
"That's right. Well, the activated tower is in the ice sector," Jeremy stated from above, "I'll materialize the rides now! There's a neutral tower due east, go there and then head to the ice sector."
"Right!" Odd replied waiting for his ride to arrive.
Three rides were materialized into the virtual world, Lyoko. The overboard which was a purplish hover board that was claimed as Odd's transport, the over wing, a silver scooter like vehicle with a circular platform for standing on, it was known as Yumi's transport and finally the over bike which was a motorbike with one big wheel, it was known as Ulrich's ride. Each teen hopped aboard their transport. Sissy jumped onto Ulrich's bike with him while Aelita climbed onto the over wing with Yumi.
The five teens traveled in silence on their vehicles to the neutral tower that glowed blue leaving a few monsters behind. They entered through it and came out in the ice section. Everything in this sector was white, white ice filling everywhere. They all stopped for a minute when they came out of the neutral tower.
"The activated tower is just a far off to the north. Hurry up and get Aelita to it." Jeremy replied sternly.
Yumi got off of her over wing upset leaving Aelita behind. For a moment she thought she was dreaming but she couldn't believe what she had just seen. If she had paid more attention in the beginning she would have realized what Jeremy had done.
"Jeremy what's the meaning of this!" she yelled looking up at the dark sky while the others turn to her.
"What's the matter Yumi?" he asked nervously.
"How dare you create Sissy's outfit like mine!" she demanded placing her hand on her hips, "What is she my twin! You change this now you hear! Change it now!"
Sissy gasped as she looked at the uniform she was wearing and then at what Yumi was wearing. She couldn't believe she didn't notice before.
Yumi wore a black and red kimono (I don't know the right name, I think this is it.) shirt which was black on the right side and red on the left extending down to her hips. A big yellow material wrapped around her lower bust and waist and into a sideways bow in the back along with a small red string dangling tightly around the bow. She also wore one inch long black boots that came up above her knees while a metallic brace attached around her shin bone above the boots showing off her red tights. White stylish gloves accompanied the outfit; although the gloves were stylish they were very long and they covered her entire arm expect her fingers. The gloves just wrapped around her palm letting her fingers run free. A portion of her short hair was pulled back in a small ponytail leaving the remainder of her hair down which showed off her neck while a white mask draped over her face. She also wore red mascara, red blush and red lipstick on her upper lip.
Sissy's outfit looked exactly the same except that she wore light purple and black instead of red and black. Her bow was fuchsia with a white string around it and she wore light purple tights. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and she wore the same white mask like Yumi did along with the makeup. Yumi gazed at Ulrich who just frowned at her.
"That's not an issue now." Ulrich stated sternly touching his sword.
"You bet it is." she frowned folding her arms.
"I'm sorry Yumi but I didn't have much time to be creative and since it was last minute, I kinda borrowed some of your codes."
"Can we talk about this later?" Ulrich asked getting annoyed; Yumi just looked at him with a serious frown telling him to shut up.
"Humph."
Before anyone else could say anything two big crabs and four blocks came rushing in their direction. Ulrich sped on his bike along with Sissy and headed straight towards one of the crabs while dodging bullets from the other monsters at the same time. He rode under one of the crabs and used his sword to cut the middle of it. Immediately the crab busted into bits.
Odd flew on his hover board dodging the monsters as well and shooting many laser arrows at them. He fired six and two hit three blocks while Yumi who was now on her vehicle, rode the over wing close to him with Aelita hitting one block with her fans. They continued to travel to the activated tower which was just a few yards from them. They dodge bullets and soon made their way close to it. When they were almost there a new block fired a laser bullet and hit Ulrich's bike throwing Sissy and him to the floor with a loud thump. Odd threw a laser arrow at it and destroyed it. Ulrich stood on his feet with Sissy just a few meters behind him when he was hit by a laser from a crab.
"Watch it Ulrich, you're down to ten life points."
"Um…don't remind me Jeremy." he replied getting off the icy floor as the crab turned around to him.
"Ulrich look out!" Yumi yelled as she threw her fan and blast the crab out of the virtual world.
He looked back at her and smiled. Something he hadn't done to her in a while.
"Hey thanks Yum-" he started but was hit immediately by a hornet.
"Ulrich!" Sissy yelled rushing after him to see that he had disappeared.
They all looked at her in shock. Odd aimed at the hornet and sent two arrows at it blasting it to bits. Yumi gazed at her friends, except for Sissy because she knew what they had to do; they had to stop X.A.N.A no matter what.
"Listen, we have to get Aelita to the tower now before X.A.N.A. sends more monsters." Yumi replied hastily still on her over wing with Aelita.
Odd flew over to Sissy who was kneeling on the floor as if ready to cry. He stood still on the board holding a mysterious smirk.
'She really likes Ulrich.' he thought tilting his head to the side like a confused puppy.
"Need a lift oh high and mighty one?" he asked with a smirk.
Sissy sighed as she looked up at the blond boy in front of her; reluctantly she graciously accepted his hand that was stretched out to her. Jumping onto the hover board she hung on tightly to him as they traveled closer towards the tower. They all stopped suddenly when they saw a block blocking their path on the ice bridge. It stretched out towards the tower. The ice formed in a large circular pattern where the tower stood. Quickly the teens flew over the bridge area on their rides when two blast were fired and knocked Yumi and Aelita off of the over wing. Odd and Sissy continued to fly on their transportation leaving Aelita and Yumi behind.
Aelita landed hard on the floor while Yumi flipped over and landed on her feet. She looked up at Odd and Sissy and smiled a little. Standing firmly on her feet with Aelita behind she looked up at three hornets that surround her, she smirked when Odd got rid of the block as she pulled out her Japanese fans.
"Aelita, stay close behind me." she replied sternly holding her fans tightly in her hands.
"Okay." she sighed hiding behind her.
The hornets fired lasers at Yumi but she deflected them with her fans. She threw them both and hit one of them. Odd was still flying around with Sissy clinging to his back as he dodged the blast from the third hornet's laser.
"Sissy hold on tight!" he yelled behind his back as he flew high into the air and began to spin downwards as he crossed his right hand to his left that was stretched out, aiming at the monster.
"Laser Arrow!" he yelled hitting one but unfortunately the other fired a laser and knocked him and Sissy off of their ride.
They both landed face first on the ice.
-------------
The door of the elevator creaked open as the young brown hair warrior made his way closer towards Jeremy. He smiled a little as he looked at the screen wondering if his friends were alright.
"Welcome back to the real world." Jeremy stated sarcastically.
"Yea, Yea, I can't believe I got knocked out so easily," he started shoving his hands in his pockets, "I was suppose to still be on Lyoko to help Sissy."
Jeremy remained silent, he himself was not too thrilled with the idea of Sissy being apart of their trips to Lyoko. He wondered what could have possessed Ulrich to suggest such a thing and blackmail him into doing it. Did he do it to make Yumi jealous or did he do it for another reason? Whatever the reason he did it for, Jeremy couldn't figure it out. He just didn't understand why.
"So how are they doing?" Ulrich asked breaking the silence.
"Good so far." he replied in a soft whisper, "Could you tell me again why Sissy's apart of our group?"
"I thought I told you already." the brown hair boy sighed trying to avoid the subject.
"Yes you did but I'm just wondering if you're doing this to make Yumi jealous." he replied back typing away on the computer.
He remained silent not knowing what to say or how to reply to that statement.
"Okay, maybe at first it started out that way but now I really like Sissy and I just wanted to make her feel welcome in our group. I also thought that it would be nice to give her what she always wanted."
"And that is?" Jeremy stopped typing and turned around to him.
"Being apart of our group."
Jeremy arched his eyebrow in amazement. Sissy wanted to be apart of their group? He thought about it much harder, that's why she would always act that way around them and teased them effortlessly. Ulrich let out an exasperated sigh and decided to exit the room.
"I'm heading to the scanner room, Sissy should be devirtualized anytime soon and I want to be there." he whispered with his head down as he went into the elevator not waiting for a response from Jeremy.
-------------
Yumi and Aelita ran as fast as they could with the tower right in sight. Yumi held her fans firmly and deflected the blast with it.
"Aelita, go quickly to the tower!" she yelled continuing to block attacks with her fan.
"Right!"
Meanwhile Odd and Sissy began to run towards them as well. Sissy held her bow and arrow firmly as she aimed at the hornet that was attacking Yumi. When it was in her sights she released the arrow.
"Sniper arrow!"
The arrow blasted the hornet and then made its way straight to Yumi. For some reason Sissy still didn't have full control of her powers yet and she was starting to make a fool of herself in front of Ulrich's friends. The arrow hit Yumi hard in her back causing her to fall flat on her face to the icy ground. Aelita stopped running from up ahead and headed back to aid her friend.
"Yumi!" she yelled trying to help her up but she refused.
"Aelita, go to the tower I'm fine." Yumi replied touching her back that held sparks on it.
She turned around and gave Sissy a hard glare while still on her knees. Sissy gasped almost dropping her golden bow.
"Sorry Yumi it was an accident."
"Yea, if you say so." she muttered softly so Sissy couldn't hear.
At the same time Odd walked up to Yumi helping her up with a smile. He could see that Yumi felt like hurting the girl real bad and he couldn't blame her. But he kept his thoughts to himself.
"Aelita move it, before the skipazoa shows up." Odd stated with Yumi's arm draped around his shoulder.
"Yes, I'm on it."
Aelita rushed up to the white tower that glowed red. She slowly touched it and disappeared through it.
"Jeremy Aelita's in the tower." Yumi said now standing up straight on her feet, "Have you figured out what X.A.N.A.'s up to?"
"No I haven't yet, we'll just have to wait and see what happens when Aelita deactivates the tower." Jeremy stated from above.
Yumi and Odd stood still next to each other as they waited for Aelita to finish deactivate the tower. They looked at Sissy who was having difficulty figuring out what the problem was with her weapon. She couldn't understand why it was continuing to hit the others when she was aiming it at the monster. Odd and Yumi began to laugh at little not willfully but because they had never seen Sissy act like that before, weird and unsure of herself.
"What are we suppose to do with the pest problem we have here?" Odd asked looking up at his raven hair friend who was a few inches taller than he was.
"Let's get rid of her." Yumi replied with her left hand on her hip.
The two looked at each other holding a mysterious smirk on their faces as they took out their weapon. Yumi taking out her fans while Odd aimed his hands getting ready to fire his arrows. He paused for a minute and looked back at Yumi.
"Maybe we should rethink this?" he asked about to laugh.
They gazed at each other and then back at Sissy.
"Nah!" they yelled simultaneously.
"Laser arrow!"
"Hiyah!"
The two teens yelled as they sent their powers straight towards her. Sissy was kneeling on the icy floor when she heard yelling. She looked up to see an arrow and a fan coming straight towards her. A loud earsplitting scream could be heard as it hit her and immediately she disappeared out of the virtual world. Odd and Yumi gave each other high five for the job well done. They smiled with glee at their victory. No monsters were in sight so they just had to wait until Jeremy was ready to devirtualized them but they just couldn't take the smile off of their faces.
"You guys what just happened there?" Jeremy asked from above, "I don't see Sissy on the screen did a monster devirtualize her?"
"Nah, we just decided to get rid of the pest problem we had." Odd smirked raking his hair in the process.
"I don't think that was necessary you guys." he scold at them as if they were his children.
Yumi and Odd just burst out laughing barely able to contain themselves.
-------------
Ulrich sat on a platform in the middle of the scanner room facing the three scanners. He stood up immediately as he heard the loud pounding sound of someone being returned back from the trip to Lyoko. The scanner opened where a bright yellow light could be seen. He gazed into it but saw no one. In an instant he took out his cell phone and dialed Jeremy's number.
"Jeremy we have a problem." he stated holding the phone close to his ear.
"What is it?" Jeremy asked a bit agitated with Yumi and Odd.
"Sissy's not here!"
Tell me what you think. I'm sorry it took me so long to finish but I had other things to do and I got writers' block for this chapter. But don't worry I'll finish the story as long as I'm alive and kicking. Don't forget to review, because I want to know what you think. Good or bad but if your response is really really bad, don't tell me. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and let Christ be the heart of your Christmas and new year!
Ciao.
