•Yumi P.O.V.•
Ulrich had just laid down the groceries, a couple bags with tea brewing."I'm home!" I shouted from the doorway."Yumi, I brought home some chili. Alright with you?" I walked over with a smirk on my face and have him a kiss on his cheek."As long as you help me this time!" He put his hands up in mock surrender and said,"I promise,I promise. Lay off!" He said in a joking tone. I laid out the ingredients for my infamous chili. At least, it was infamous in our 3 apartments. "Ulrich, I have a question for you." He nodded his head, as if telling me to ask it."Was it your idea to go to the jewelry store?" He was silent for a few moments, but answered with,"It was kinda mutually agreed on with the guys. Of course I wanna you know, marry you...but I guess we just wanted a sneak peek at what you guys would want, if we ever got engaged." I nodded, accepting his answer."Why do you ask, Yumi?" I contemplated my answer as I was opening the can of corn and preheating the oven for our muffins."Out of curiosity, I guess. Just...I don't know. Being stupid and nosy." He just wrapped his arms around my waist and said,"Everyone's born with good and bad qualities. Yours is being nosy, but you're amazing at everything else. Me, I'm too stubborn, and that's why I win all my cases. I place the evidence and say, this is why he's innocent. Make your decision." I turned on the stove and set the square of meat into the pan. He turns me around and gently places his lips to mine. My phone starts ringing and I pull away with a grimace."Work. Watch the food and break up the meat. I'll be in the bedroom in case you need me." I slid my finger across my I-phone and said,"Hello? What? That's not my field of work. But it is one of my friends. I'll be right over. "Ulrich! Emergency! Turn everything off. We have to the hospital. It's involving Leah! The emergency room said she was having a reaction to...what was it? It was a bee sting! She's allergic. She started throwing up."
P.O.V..:
I couldn't even come close to imagining what it was like for Odd and Aelita to have the person you love, even in a little amount of danger. I think they'll have her there for a couple of hours. Give her some ointment, tell her about the compresses. We hopped into my hummer and drove off. As we walked into Yumi's office, she grabbed her coat and slipped on a pair of gloves."Gotta be official." As we walked past Aelita and Jeremy, we grabbed their hands and brought them into Leah's room."Who knew I would be taking care of you?" Yumi said. Leah gave a small smile as Yumi pulled out ointment. Leah pointed to her thigh and Yumi pulled down the covers and took a finger full of ointment. "It was in the apartment. She slipped and it was on the floor. She killed it though." Odd said."Well, I can tell she fell from the bruise. She gonna have visitors until she leaves?" We all nodded and we let out a laugh.
|Aelita P.O.V.|
At least she'll be alright. "We should make dinner for you guys. She's in no condition to be cooking. Plus. We kinda want I hang out before we all go to work tomorrow." I think all of us were dreading work. Yumi had gotten an introduction, but all I have to do is go around asking the groups if the dinner was well, how they were feeling, any cooking, waiting issues, etc. Now that I think about it, Odd and I are the only ones who haven't started work. He starts next week, and as I said, I start tomorrow. From eleven a.m. to eight p.m. at night. "Fine, Aelita, but only because you're Leah's sister." Odd said. Leah nodded shortly after and then, like the dork I am, pumped my fist into the air."Well, she can go home. I'll explain everything when we get back to the apartment." Yumi said. Ulrich kissed her and said,"Good job baby." She smiled. It was then I just realize how damn lucky we were. We had jobs, money, food and drink, electricity, and hell, let's add falling head over heels in love to that list. Sure Leah and I were stuck on Lyoko for a while, but Jeremy virtualized us and now we're here, as couples who just started living their lives."Thinking, Lita?" Leah asked and I nodded."About how lucky we are to have great friends-" "And boyfriends as well!" The three guys added.
[Jeremy P.O.V.]
Aelita turned around and gently wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her lips to mine. She moved so her hands were entwined into my blond hair."Save it for the room! I don't need to see that! She's my sister for Christ's sake!" Leah shouted. We turned around to find her in Odd's arms, roughly kissing him. She pulled away and said,"How does that make you feel?" Aelita stuck her tongue out and made a gagging noise."Just kidding! But things won't get heated...As long as there's no alcohol involved!" She joked as I flushed a shad of pink."Hey Einstein, if you're such a genius, how cone you act like nothing happens at night between us. It happens, jut accept it." Ulrich said as I face palmed myself."Leah?" She looked up. "I'll give you the script tonight, and you can stay home tomorrow to recuperate. Just gotta study the first few pages. I'm gonna test you to see how your memory is!" She smiled and we walked out the door, all smiles and sunshine. Huh, Aelita was right. We are extremely lucky. Sure there were improvements, but that doesn't mean there weren't any unfortunate people left in the world. Aelita turned and gently laid a hand on my shoulder."You okay, Jeremy?" I nodded, pushed up my glasses and put my arm around her neck as we walked into her Toyota truck.
*Leah P.O.V.*
"Damnit, Odd, why am I so accident prone?" I asked as he turned around the corner."Baby, you were born that way!" He sang, and off key, if I might add."Shutup, or else we're gonna have to go back because of bleeding ears!" He laughed and he said,"By make food, they mean get takeout, right?" I nodded as we pulled ini the parking lot of our complex. We picked this place because everything was so close to the building."Well, princess, let's get you upstairs do you don't step on another bee!" I flicked him in the nose as we entered the apartment, OUR apartment.
