Confusion
Chapter 5: Girl of My Dreams
Yumi started to sway more, "hnnn, Ulrich... I-I can't keep this up any longer...", she moaned. Ulrich looked out over the space between the edge of the glacier they were on and where Aelita was, she was almost to the glacier where the tower was sitting. Aelita had even managed to take out the remaining kankrelats.
Ulrich lifted his hands and grasped Yumi's arms, "Just hold on, she is almost to the glaciers, just another minute more." Yumi began to fall to her knees, Ulrich grabbed her trying to desperately hold her up. Yumi tried to hold on just like Ulrich had told her, she saw her vision around her going black.
Yumi suddenly fell into Ulrich's arms, Ulrich held her and looked over the void to where Aelita once was. "Jeremie! I don't see Aelita anywhere!", the brown hair boy yelled to the sky. Jeremie quickly answered back, "It's okay Ulrich, Aelita is safely in the tower, Yumi kept going long enough. How is she?"
Ulrich looked down at Yumi she rolled her head to look at Ulrich, she gave him a weak faint smile. "She's alright Jeremie, weak, but alright."
Back at the factory Odd had been hiding under a piece of scrap metal when suddenly the office door swung open. "No! No! Stay back! Nooo!", yelled Odd. He put his hands up in front of his face trying to block any of the spector's blows. Suddenly the spector stopped right in front of Odd's face as if he was frozen in time. Odd held his breath and moved his arms away from his face, he looked up when the spector suddenly disintegrated. He let out a sigh of relief, he knew Aelita made it to the tower.

A few moments before:
Aelita had gotten into the tower, placed her hand on the floating screen before her. The screen then showed her name.
ALEITA
It prompted her to enter a code, she quickly typed the letters that came almost effortlessly to her.
CODE: LYOKO

The tower began to darken, and suddenly she found herself in the hollow cylinder of the scanner. She had returned first and then Ulrich. Ulrich waited impatiently outside of the third scanner for Yumi, and caught her when she came out, she was still so weak.
Odd had finally left the office room he was hiding in after the spector had disintegrated, and went straight to where he had left Sam. He pushed the hair out of her face and picked her up carefully into the lift. She started to wake up slightly. "H-hey Odd...", she said weakly as her eyes fluttered open.
Finally the group was back together with Jeremie, Ulrich was still supporting Yumi, while Sam was doing a bit better, slowly regaining her strength. They decided as a group that a return to the past was not necessary because they were the only ones who encountered the spector. They also didn't want to risk strengthening X.A.N.A.
The group had left the factory to head back to Kadic Academy, Yumi was trailing behind the group when she called Ulrich to pull back and walk with her. The group didn't think anything of it and let them be.
"So what exactly did you and Odd talk about before the game? I mean if you didn't want to team up with me, you could have just said something.", said Yumi, slightly irritated. "It- uh- it wasn't that...", answered back Ulrich.
"So then what was it? Come on spill it."
"It was nothing okay? Don't worry about it..."
"Urh! It's always nothing with you, nothing can ever be something for you! Whatever Ulrich, when you feel like talking you know where to find me!" Yumi tried to storm off, but before she could Ulrich grabbed her wrist.
"You wanna know what I talked him about so badly?! Fine! I was annoyed with him always trying to play match maker with you and I!"
Yumi looked down with tears filling in her eyes, she was about to yank her wrist from Ulrich's grip. She was in utter shock and disbelief as to what she was hearing come out of his mouth. She just wanted to take off running for her house. When she went to pull her wrist back Ulrich finished his previously incomplete sentence, "...Because I don't want to tell the girl of my dreams that I love her in the middle of a soccer game." Yumi looked up at Ulrich with a shocked expression.
She had been under the impression that the conversation was going south, but it had taken a sharp turn into something really great. Yumi looked away and blushed. Ulrich put his hand up to her cheek and brushed away a stray raven strand of hair, "I- uh- I wish I had done this a lot sooner." Ulrich leaned in and kissed Yumi.
Finally, the girl of his dreams, the moment he had dreamt of for so long, it had become a reality. Yumi felt a spark when they embraced and kissed. She felt warm and safe in his arms. After what seemed like hours, they pulled away a few moments later, both blushing.
"So uh, Yumi, will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?", Ulrich said sheepishly scratching the back of his head and blushing. "Yumi leaned in and kissed him again before saying, "About time!, yes of course!" They both laughed and Ulrich put his arm around her waist to walk her home.

Some months have passed and the Lyoko warriors have had to get used to balancing school work, relationships, and fighting against X.A.N.A again. About two months after Ulrich and Yumi started dating, Jeremie finally gained the courage to ask Aelita to be his.
"You know, what's gonna happen if say like me, Ulrich, and Yumi can't go to Lyoko when X.A.N.A attacks, then what are you gonna do Einstein? You can't just send Aelita by herself.", said Odd with an expression that seemed like he was trying to foresee the future.
"Well...", Jeremie looked over at Sam, "I have contemplated that scenario, and I have already started creating a possible avatar color scheme and weaponry for her. Now, I unfortunately can't determine what exactly she will be on Lyoko, like how you are a feline, Ulrich a samurai, and Yumi a geisha warrior.
The group looked to Sam, "Well now you'll officially be a Lyoko Warrior, when the time comes of course.", Yumi said with a smile. "Ha, my girl, fighting side by side with Odd the great. We will be invincible!", yelled Odd in a cocky tone.
The teens laughed, when Aelita's laughing started to fade out. "Hey what's wrong Aelita?", said Jeremie slightly worried. "Oh, uh, it's nothing, I was just thinking of those weird dreams I keep having." The group grew quiet and looked to their friend. "We will get through this Aelita, we are a family of course", said Yumi hugging her friend.
Soon they were all hugging, for now.

A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I also hope this put one of the anonymous guest readers at ease, I had previously written this chapter Sunday, but left it waiting before uploading it. I will try to update again before Sunday to keep this rolling, but don't worry, the story is no where near being finished, there is still so much more that needs to happen, and that needs to be covered, and answered. Don't forget to review and tell me what you think of it so far, or leave a suggestion because I currently do not have anymore queued. I will try to work in all suggestions if applicable!
Thanks for reading! xoxo
