A/N I'm actually quite happy how this chapter turned out. I considered splitting it into two chapters but, that wouldn't make sense. Anywho. Here is chapter two.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Code Lyoko, Moonscoop does
Chapter Two: The Mixup
(Normal POV)
"That was an interesting movie… who would have thought that a horror movie could also be a romance movie?" Ulrich said with a chuckle. He held out his arm to the pretty Japanese girl who smiled and linked her arm with his "either way, I had fun" she said with a smile, "Definitely worth it"
"I'm glad" Ulrich looked down at her, "I had fun too"
Yumi smiled, "well, maybe we can do this more often?" she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and bit her lower lip for a moment.
"Yeah?" He grinned, "I mean… yeah! Absolutely."
"I'm sorry I made you wait so long… I've wanted this forever"
Ulrich looked down at her again and just smiled, "I'm happy to hear you say that… so… does that mean that we're… I dunno…" he scratched the back of his neck, "together?"
"As in a couple?" Yumi asked and then giggled, "do you really have to ask?"
"heh…" he removed his arm from hers and put it around her shoulders instead and then felt her arm snake around his waist. He grinned "what else would you expect from me? I've been hanging by a thread for so long I don't even know if I'm dreaming or not"
Yumi looked into his eyes, "you're definitely not dreaming… unless I am…" she looked down for a second and then just for fun, she pinched his arm.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"Well it hurt you, so you're not dreaming" she laughed and pushed him softly.
He scooped her up and spun around before they both fell onto the grass, causing a cloud of fireflies to emerge from the tall grass of the park. He landed on his behind and she landed on top of him. Yumi looked down at him and giggled "were you trying to make me dizzy?"
"Well… yeah" Ulrich laughed, "I guess that backfired, didn't it?"
"Depends on how you look at it…" Yumi replied as she pushed him down onto the grass and pressed her lips against his. He grinned into the kiss and his hand found its way to the back of her neck where he pulled her closer to him and deepened the kiss.
Ulrich was the one to break the kiss "You'd better get home… your dad is going to kill me if you come home after curfew"
Yumi sighed, "yeah…" she stood up and held her hand out for Ulrich, "walk me home?"
Ulrich allowed her to help him up and pulled her into his arms "one more kiss…" he said before he tilted her chin up and kissed her passionately.
Yumi pulled away and blushed "wow… that was…"
"Yeah…"
He took her hand and they started to walk down the side walk with her. Her hand found his and she interlocked her fingers with his.
Ulrich walked into his dormitory with a grin on his face. He let out a very soft sigh as he sat on his bed and thought about the kiss they shared in the park. He smirked at the memory. It was as if he were in a dream and he just didn't want to wake up from it. He feared going to sleep because it could only be a dream. He sat on his bed and laid back, staring up at the ceiling for a moment and looked over at Odd who had fallen asleep quite a bit earlier and shook his head. I'll tell him in the morning. He yawned "it's too good to be real… then again…" He closed his eyes and felt sleep overcome him.
(Odd's POV)
I opened my eyes before looking over at my sleeping roommate. I turned and looked at the clock that sat beside my bed, on the nightstand, and read 2:45AM. I let out a soft sigh and yawned before rubbing my eyes. Was I dreaming or something, or did Ulrich have longer hair? I shrugged and sunk back down into my blanket, pulling Kiwi closer to me. He nuzzled into my cheek and licked my face before he went back to sleep. I smiled "mmm… my Kiwi, Kiwi dog…" soon, I too drifted back to sleep.
(Ulrich's POV)
(The Next Morning)
I heard my alarm clock blaring and groaned. I reached over to press the snooze button, causing myself to fall out of the bed and onto the hard floor dammit all to hell… stupid table gets farther and farther away every day… I thought as I picked myself up off the floor. I blinked a couple times as I realized that my hair was hanging in my face. "Huh? Did my hair grow overnight?" I asked myself and then cleared my throat, "I must be getting sick… my voice sounds higher than normal…" I looked down at my hands and tilted my head to the side. Were my fingernails longer? Why did my hands look… so… feminine? I glanced down at my chest and my eyes widened. I have to be dreaming! I pinched my arm and it hurt, okay, so I'm not dreaming… I have to be hallucinating then… yeah… that's it... I couldn't have just gone to sleep a guy and woke up a… girl? I slapped myself and then looked down again this can't be happening… I'm a chick!? I gulped "shit… how am I going to explain this to Yumi?"
I ran over to my snoring roommate and shook him awake. Odd snorted awake "What! I'm up, I'm up, I'm…" he looked over at me and his tone changed, "oh… hello, who are you?" he wiggled his eyebrows and clicked his tongue at me.
I raised an eyebrow "what!? Gross! Odd, it's me! It's Ulrich!" I said with an exasperated sigh, "I don't know how it happened, but I turned into a girl overnight" I put my hand to my face and bit my lip, "I woke up and now… I look like this!" Odd seemed transfixed somehow so I waved my hand in front of his face. Then I realized that I normally would have slept shirtless and slapped my best friend to snap him out of it. "ODD! Are you kidding me!? It's ME! Ulrich! In this body!"
That seemed to snap him out of it. "Wait a minute… that means that… I… I just hit on my best friend?" I caught him staring at my chest again and crossed my arms over my chest "Seriously?"
He gulped and then his eyes met mine "what are you going to tell Yumi?"
"I… I don't really know" I said, scratching the side of my face, finding it completely bare of my usual five-o'clock shadow, "this is so wrong on so many levels" I turned and grabbed my comb and then glared back at my best friend "umm… privacy?"
"Oh! Right!" Odd chuckled and turned around so I could get dressed.
I saw Samantha's bra hanging on the corner of our work desk and picked it up "you won't mind if I use Sam's bra… would you?"
I heard him snicker behind me "go for it… though, she is a bit smaller than you so… I… I don't know how well it will fit" I glanced over my shoulder to see him rubbing the back of his neck, "besides, I don't think she'll ever come to get it back"
I slipped the bra on and reached back to try and get the hooks "son of a…"
Odd laughed and I felt him come up behind me "need some help?" I gave up and allowed him to latch it for me. "err… thanks" I adjusted the cups to hold my new attatchments before I messed with the shoulder straps, "it's a little tight…" I let out a sigh, "forget it… I'll endure"
I heard my phone ring from its spot on my nightstand and looked at Odd "can you… uh… I'm a little bit…"
"Got ya, good buddy" Odd said before he answered the phone "oh hey Yumi…" he looked at me an mouthed 'it's Yumi' "No shit, Sherlock…"
"Uhh… Ulrich is… well… he's sort of not himself at the moment…" he looked at me, covering the mouthpiece of the phone "what do I tell her?"
"Shit… just tell her the truth!"
Odd let out a sigh "okay well… here's the thing… he uh… sort of turned into a chick overnight…"
"Smooth…" I rolled my eyes as I pulled on a black T-shirt to wear under my normal jacket.
"No! Not a baby chicken! Like… he's a…" he stopped and then looked at me, "oh… I thought something seemed off…"
I could hear her laugh and held out my hand "let me talk to her"
My eyes widened "hey…"
"Is this Sam trying to play a joke on me?"
"No… babe, I'm Ulrich… I swear. Would I lie to you?" I thought for a moment, "Don't answer that"
"This has to be some kind of joke. Do you know how this happened?"
"No…"
"Do you know how long it will last?"
"No…"
I heard her sigh on the other end "So you're really a girl now?"
"Dammit… yes… I am. I don't know how but…"
"Well, Jeremie called me a little bit ago and told me to get ahold of you guys. Xana activated a tower in a replica of the mountain region"
My eyes widened for a moment "an attack? Well that makes sense. I think Xana switched genders on me… well Odd and I are on our way"
"Okay, I'll let him know… talk to you later"
"Later…" I hung up the phone and looked at Odd who was struggling to keep himself from laughing. "what is so damned funny!?"
"Just the fact that you're a girl, talking to your girlfriend…" he giggled, "Ulrich, you're a lesbian!" with that he started busting up again.
I rolled my eyes "Oh, ha, ha… very funny… it's better than being attracted to guys"
Odd started laughing even harder.
"What!?"
"Y… your voice!"
I rolled my eyes and finished tying my shoe before turning to walk out of our dorm. Odd ran to catch up to me "hey, I was only joking man…" he chuckled, "or maybe I could call you babe…"
"You even think about calling me "babe" and I'll kill you as you sleep!" I threatened causing Odd to crack up again. I sighed and shook my head, causing my long hair to fall into my face. "I really gotta find a way to pull this mess back"
Odd reached into his pocket and handed me a black hair-tie "here… it's Sam's but I'm sure she won't mind"
I flipped my hair back and pulled it back in a not-so-neat ponytail. This caused Odd to laugh for some reason and then when I looked at him he smirked "you know, you're pretty attractive for a girl"
"Seriously, Odd! Don't even think about it!" I warned and crossed my arms again, "I'm not into guys… you know that" I cracked up and Odd joined me in laughter from that comment. I pulled myself together and then shook my head "jeez… if no one knew who I was… I'd sound like a lesbian"
"I wonder what Yumi'll think of the 'new you'" Odd said, and I could feel my face get hot, "I mean, I personally think that she'll flip out"
"Would you shut it!" I scolded as I felt my face get even hotter. We had reached the manhole in the park. I pulled the lid up and climbed down with Odd following above me, snickering on the way. I got on my skateboard and kicked off, trying to get away from the laughing hyena. I wondered what the rest of the day would bring as I pulled to a stop at the ladder. I parked my skateboard and climbed up to the bridge above. Today was definitely going to be interesting. That I knew for sure.
A/N Thanks to FonceDarkness, this chapter is up quite a bit quicker than I had expected. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
