Aelita and Yumi were on Aelita's pink bed, while Jeremie was sitting Indian-style on the floor.

"So, what did you want to talk about, Yumi?"

"After today, I get to stay at Kadic!" Yumi squealed. In a split second, her face dropped. "But it's only because of Hiroki."

"Ohh… Hiroki," Aelita looked somber. "But it's great you'll get to stay here! We're going to have so much fun!"

Yumi smiled. Aelita always looked on the bright side.

"You're right. It's going to be a lot of fun." Yumi grinned.

Jeremie smiled too, not really knowing what to say. Yumi knew he was itching badly to talk to Aelita (AKA he was itching badly to make out with Aelita).

"Hey Ae, can I use your laptop?" Yumi asked.

"Oh, yeah sure." Aelita handed over her wireless to Yumi. Yumi playfully shoved Jeremie off the bed and closer to Aelita so Yumi could lie on the bed.

Yumi signed on Instant Messanger as silentnightmares. Lyokowarrior8 was on, as always. He always signed on the same time she did. …Hm. Suspicious.

silentnightmares: heyy!
lyokowarrior8: sup
silentnightmares: boring day. You?
lyokowarrior8: yeah, same. Got yelled at by a teacher.
silentnightmares: Same. As always. Hey, I never got around to asking what your name was.
lyokowarrior8: You can just call me Rick. What about you?
silentnightmares: You can call me Yoshi xD My first name is sort of "unused" around here so it'd be easier for you to stalk me if you knew it ;
lyokowarrior8: Ok, ok fine, "Yoshi"… you live in France right?
silentnightmares: Bonjour.
lyokowarrior8: I take it as a yes.
silentnightmares: Soo, whatcha doing?
lyokowarrior8: Watching my best friend make a stupid "BREAKBREAKBREAKDANCE" video. You?
silentnightmares: Watching my best friend and her boyfriend make goo-goo eyes at each other. Revolting.
lyokowarrios8: haha, I see my best friend do that all the time to passing girls.
silentnightmares: lolll, oh you're so lucky.
lyokowarrior8: YUP, I know.
silentnightmares: You know, I want to see a picture of you.
lyokowarrior8: haha well, you can't.
silentnightmares: omgg, come on! I bet you'd look great! You have girls worshipping you and everything, right?
lyokowarrior8: yeah, but I'm NOT going to show you.
silentnightmares: … why?
lyokowarrior8: Because. You're not showing me yours anyway.
silentnightmares: … well, that's different
lyokowarrior8: see!
silentnightmares: this is an absolutely pointless conversation..
lyokowarrior8: yea, you think?
silentnightmares: yup.
lyokowarrior8: hold on a sec I gotta go get my friend from his girlfriend's bedroom…
silentnightmares: hmm?
lyokowarrior8: NO, not like that! He's too much of a goody two shoes to do that, believe me.
lyokowarrior8: I swear, swear to God.
silentnightmares: hahaha fine, fine. See ya.
lyokowarrior8: Later, ttyl.

Lyokowarrior8 has signed off.

"Hm." Yumi closed the laptop and lay on Aelita's bed. There was something so familiar about him. If only she could put her finger on it-

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Ah! I'll get it, you lovebirds can stay there and keep making out with each other." Yumi smirked as they blushed, holding hands and sitting criss-crossed apple-sauced (xPPPP)

Yumi opened the door to reveal Ulrich. "Hey Yumi!" he said happily.

"Hi Ulrich!" she responded with the same amount of enthusiasm. She heard Aelita giggle behind her. Yumi moved back a few steps to kick Aelita, thus receiving a loud "OWWW!", then hopped back up to Ulrich. "What're you here for?"

"To get Jer." Ulrich answered, peeking in to see the room.

"Oh…" Yumi managed to say, her mind whirring. What a coincidence. But what if—Ah, forget it. She brushed it off and returned to reality, all smiles.

"Hey Jer, done making out with your girlfriend? Or whatever you crazy kids are doing," he smirked.

"Don't worry, they have a chaperone." Yumi grinned, while Ulrich laughed.

Aelita gazed at both of them, her eyes sparkling, and her mouth twitching, curling up to a sinister smile.

Yumi and Ulrich glanced at each other and then nervously back at the evil-looking Aelita.

"Aelita?" Jeremie said worriedly to his girlfriend.

She snapped out of it, and smiled to Jeremie. "Yes?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Ohhhh, nothing at all… C'mon Jer, we have to talk." Aelita pushed Yumi and Ulrich out the door, and locked it.

The Japanese girl looked bewildered at the brunette. They both glanced simultaneously at the door, and quickly pressed their bodies against it, eavesdropping.

All they heard was Aelita and Jeremie's whispers and girly giggles. Ugh.

"I wonder what they're doing…" Yumi jerked her head towards the door.

"Ditto."

"Maybe something inappropriate."

"Hmmm… it makes me wonder. Maybe Jer isn't such a goody-goody after all.."

"You never know. Nerds always surprise me…"

"Want to go back to my room and play videogames or something?"

"Sure!"

They traveled back to Ulrich's room, and closed the door.

"Give me a second," Ulrich hastily went on his bed and opened his paper-thick laptop.

"Woahhh, your laptop is so skinny…" Yumi gasped, examining the laptop.

"Yeah, I guess." Ulrich shrugged as he went online.

"Hey, can I use the laptop? Odd won't mind, right?" Yumi questioned, taking Odd's wireless laptop.

"Nah," Ulrich shrugged.

Yumi nodded, and opened the laptop, turning it on. In half a minute, it was loaded.

She went on Instant Messanger and signed on.

lyokowarrior8: hey
silentnightmares: oh hi! You just got on?
lyokowarrior8: yup, u?
silentnightmares: mmhmm.
lyokowarrior8: wow. coincidence.
silentnightmares: yeah. Hm.
lyokowarrior8: sooo whats up?
silentnightmares: at my friends.
lyokowarrior8: oh nice.
lyokowarrior8: well im bored, so im gonna go play Lyoko
silentnightmares: yea, I'm going 2 go too. Ttyl?
lyokowarrior8: yup
silentnightmares: btw, I still want to see your picture.
lyokowarrior8: hah. G'luck with that.
silentnightmares: … thx. Bye!

silentnightmares has signed off.
lyokowarrior8 has signed off.

The two closed the laptops simultaneously.

"So, what were you doing online?" they asked at the same time. They smiled at each other.

"Ohh, nothing." Yumi answered slyly, looking at her feet.

"I see…" Ulrich raised an eyebrow.

"What about you?"

"Just talking to someone…"

"That you don't know, huh?"

"I never said that!"

"Psh. Who cares what you say? I can see it in your eyes." Yumi laughed, saying the last part mysteriously.

Ulrich rolled his eyes. "I'm bored. Lyoko anyone?"

"Sure!" Yumi grinned.

And you'd think she would put two and two together…

Teenagers..

So blind..

The two sat down on the carpet floor and Ulrich plugged in the cables, and started the game.

Yumi and Ulrich began tapping the control buttons furiously, trying to escape X.A.N.A.'s evil crabs and the brain-sucking squid thing that wanted Alisha's memory.

Alisha screamed, as the squid put its tentacles to her head, beginning to suck out her memory.

"Ulrich!" Yumi yelled in frantic nervousness. Ulrich looked concentrated as he triplicated and began fighting off the blocks and crabs.

Yumi pressed a series of buttons, resulting in Yoshi expertly slicing the squid's tentacles with her beautifully designed fan. Alisha's memory transfer was broken. Alisha smiled and rushed to hide behind Yoshi.

Yumi let out a sigh of relief.

"You fight off X.A.N.A.'s monsters and I'll lead her to the tower. Unless you want me to fight them off."

"Nahh, a MAN should do the fighting." Ulrich smirked.

Yumi groaned. "Not this again."

Yumi controlled Yoshi to kick Rick, though it did no damage. Characters hitting characters didn't do anything.

Ulrich growled.

Jack, the guy who was watching over on a computer, warned them, "You have to get to the tower fast! I'm watching the news, and it ain't good."

Alisha cried out, "What's happening, Jack?"

"The buses are going to hit soon! Hurry up there are two minutes left!"

Yumi hurriedly pressed more buttons. She led Alisha to the tower in record time, and Alisha entered the code just when the buses were going to hit. Thank god. Yumi paused the game, not feeling like going to the next level. It was apparent Ulrich felt the same way.

Ulrich dropped the controller and studied his hands. "They're all cramped!" he complained.

Yumi rolled her eyes. "Put it in water."

Ulrich groaned again.

Yumi sighed, getting up. She held out a hand for Ulrich to grasp. He put his hand into hers, but didn't budge.

Yumi rolled her eyes again as she struggled to pull Ulrich up. With one final pull, he sprang up, eyes wide. He knocked into her, toppling both of them onto the floor in surprise, less than an inch away from each other's face. If they even reached out a little, they would be able to touch each other.

Just then, the door opened.

"I'M BAAACKKK!" Odd sang. "Y'know Ulrich, I think Sam is warming up to me, she-"

He stopped in his tracks and stared. The two gasped and bolted up, red and embarrassed.

Odd burst into wild hysterics. "Welll, what do we have here!" he said in between bursts of laughter.

"It isn't- it wasn't! I mean-" they both stuttered, their faces flushed.

Odd held up his hand to signal silence, still chuckling. "No need to explain anything, lovebirds," his eyes twinkled, "I get it."

"No! You see-" Yumi began.

Odd laughed and walked out the door. "Don't worry, I'm going out so you can finish…" he paused. "Whatever you're doing… I'll lock the door too just in case so Jim won't blow up." He winked. As he closed the door, he burst out into another laughing fit.

"NOOO!" Yumi and Ulrich screamed.

But it was too late. The door clicked and Odd had already rushed off. Probably to flirt more with Sam..

Yumi's black hair swished back and forth as she sat down, her head in her hands. She raised her head and found Ulrich, lying on his bed, burying his face into his pillow. He looked pretty cute like that, all hopeless.

Yumi smacked her head. Ulrich groaned and looked at her. "What's up?"

"Nothing…" she sighed and glared at him. "For the record, I blame this on you. If we get locked in here, I'm going to get into soo much trouble…"

She paused, her face filling with horror. "OH MY GOSH! My mom! If I don't get out of here soon enough, mom's going to-"

She moaned, did a little twirl thing, and fell over backwards onto the bed, and unknowingly into Ulrich's lap. He blushed, but said nothing, relishing the feeling.

"How is this MY fault?" he questioned.

"You were all freakingly stubborn!"

Ulrich raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. He hesitatingly ran his fingers through her silky, soft jet-black hair. It was so soft and amazing. He continued to run his hand through her hair.

Either she didn't know, or didn't care, because she said nothing, only sighed deeply.

"Odd is a retard."

Yumi sprang up from his lap, brought back to reality by his sudden statement. Her face flushed insanely. She jumped off the bed, and dusted herself off and announced, "I'm going to bang ourselves out of here!"

"… WHATTTT!" Ulrich looked shocked. Another way you could tell was how he rolled off his bed in astonishment and practically cracked his head, his jaw dropping to the floor. "Hubba hubba hubba hu-" his mouth opened up and closed up repeatedly, looking like a demented, drowning fish.

"Oh gosh, I didn't mean it like that, you perv!" Yumi shrieked, grabbing a pillow from his bed and screaming into it, then using it as a weapon to hit him constantly. "I meant to bust ourselves out of here!" she jerked her head towards the door.

"Ohowww!" Ulrich cried, a combination between understanding and pain.

"God, you boys always think of things in the most graphical context possible!" Yumi accused. "Perverts! Absolute lecherous perverts! I want nothing to do with you!"

She sat down, dropped her head into the pillow and screamed.

Ulrich stared. "You're overreacting, Yumi…"

"I know, but don't you dare try and stop me." Yumi answered. "And what about you? Hmmm, hubba hubba hubba? What kind of answer is that!"

Ulrich groaned again and fell back onto the bed. "What else could I say! I was shocked! I mean... you- you... ugh!"

Yumi glared at him, her heart pounding like mad. "You know, I meant NOTHING of the sort."

"... Right." Ulrich calmed himself down, trying to control his racing hormones as he stared at her.

Yumi nervously looked at him and looked down at the floor, her entire body beginning to feel warm.

Ulrich snapped out of his trance and looked to the right of him and decided to turn on the radio to cover the awkward silence.

'Right Where You Want Me' by Jesse McCartney came on.

"You've got to be kidding me." Yumi hugged her knees to her chest, staring at the radio.

"Girl, There's something bout me that you outta know. I never felt the need to lose control." blasted from the radio.

Ulrich stayed silent, and listened to the lyrics, sweatdropping. He hastily turned off the radio, beads of sweat rolling down his face.

"Now my hands are even MORE cramped up..." he sighed.

"C'mon, I'll soak them in warm water for you, okay?" Yumi smiled gently at him, though she had a little rough edge in her smile. She took his hand and he led her to the bathroom in his room. Yumi prepared the warm water, and brought his hands into the water as she massaged them.

"You've had experience with this before, don't you?" Ulrich grinned easily. This was relaxing.

"I'm a big sister. That's what big sisters do," Yumi answered, and her smile dropped. "I don't know how long I'll still be a big sister though."

"What do you-" Ulrich stopped himself and remained silent, understanding. "I'm sorry, Yumi. He'll be fine. I'm sure of it."

His hands still wet and warm, he pulled them out of the water and grasped her long, graceful hands.

"Thanks Ulrich." she curved her pink lips to a smile, her eyes shining.

Their faces only centimeters apart, they leaned in, their eyes lost in the others, but both failed to hear the little click of the door...

A/N: Like I said, I gave you a longer chapter. Now that I'm looking at it, it seems so short.. but when I was writing it it seemed like it lasted forever... funny how that works..

Had no idea how to end it so I stopped it randomly. But I have to admit, its the best random place to end a chapter for me yet. haha.

Review! (: Reviews means I am happy. Happiness means more chapters. See? What a lovely cycle.
