"You think you're in love with Ulrich?"

"Yeah."

"How's it possible that you realized that in a few hours?"

"Well, about an hour ago, Ulrich came to me because he was nervous."

"Ok. What happened?"

"Well he told that he's never kissed anyone."

"Oh. So what did you do?"

"We practiced."

"Oh my god."

Aelita then gave best friend a bear hug.

"So what're you gonna do?"

"I'm have to tell him.

"No, nonono, you can't do that."

"Why can't I?"

"If you do, He'll just think you're jealous."

"Oh yeah. What should I do?"

"That's something you have to find out for yourself."

"So if I can't tell him, what're my other options?"

"You could mess their date."

"No, then he'll just end up hating me."

"Listen Yumi." Aelita said grabbing her hands. "Do you love him?"

"Yes, with all my heart."

"Then only your heart can tell you what to do."

"I really hate it when you get all hippie on me."

"I know, but you still love me."

Ulrich was in his and Odd's shared room getting ready for his date.

"Ok, how do I look?"

"Like a million bucks."

"Awesome."

Then Odd took a good look at his friend's hair.

"Hold on."

Odd then started to mess up his hair.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?"

"Stop resisting, girls like messy hair."

Odd then put some of the hair in front of Ulrich's face.

"There. Now give me a little hair flip."

"Why?"

"Girls love rock star hair."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Now do it."

Ulrich , deciding not to argue, did as he was told.

"That's what I like to see."

Ulrich looked at his phone to see what time it was.

"Aww crap, I better."

"Alright."

Odd then remembered that he forgot something.

"Hey wait."

"What?"

Odd then threw him a little square package. When Ulrich caught, he looked up and Odd smiling.

"You can never be too careful."

When Ulrich opened his hand, he saw a little red pouch with a circle outlined in it. When he found out what it was, he immediately got what Odd meant.

"I'm not gonna need this."

"Hey, keep it. You'll never know."

"No. I'm not gonna sleep with her."

"Your loss."

Ulrich then left to go pick up Mallory.

Ulrich followed the address that Mallory gave to hotel in downtown Paris. He walked in and took the elevator all the way to the top. When he got there, he followed the room numbers down the hall until he found the one that was on the address. He knocked on the door and waited until he heard a few words shouted in German. When the door opened, it revealed a short, wrinkly woman.

"Hello Mrs. Adler. How have you been?"

"Ulrich my boy, it's great to see you."

Ulrich and Mallory's mom then had a meaningful hug.

"Come in Ulrich, have a seat."

"Ok."

When Ulrich walked in, he noticed a big couch, A flat screen TV, and a full sized kitchen. But, he didn't see Mallory.

"Mrs. Adler?"

"Oh please, call me Sue."

"Ok, Sue. Where's Mallory."

"She's taking a shower, she'll be out in a minute."

Sue then noticed that Ulrich rubbing his hands on his jeans. This indicated that he was nervous

"Ulrich, would you like something to drink."

"Sure."

Sue got off the couch and walked to kitchen to get a drink. When she came back, she handed the drink to her guest.

"So, how's school?"

"It's good. It's gotten a lot easier considering that two of my friends are scholars.

"That seems like something that would come in handy. I also hear you're quite the soccer star."

"Yeah."

Sue then looked around, trying to find her photobook. When she found it, she opened it and flipped through the pages. The page she turned to revealed two young children, a girl and boy.

"Oh I remember when I took this."

"Yeah, that was at the lake. I remember because I was scared to do the high jump. And then she called me a baby."

"Are you showing him all our old photos?"

"Calm down sweetie, I only showed him one."

"Mom, why do you always have to show all my dates that photo book?"

"Mallory, you've only had one date." Sue reminded her daughter.

"Well he doesn't have to know that!" Mallory yelled at her mom.

"Hey. I don't care that you've only had one date." Ulrich informed her.

"You don't?" Mallory said smiling brightly.

"No. In fact, I think it's kinda cute."

"Really?"

"Of course. You're my little koala."

"You haven't called me koala in years. I thought you forgot about our nicknames."

"How could I not forget? You were my little koala and I was …."

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that." Mallory said putting her hand up to her ear.

"I was…"

"Come on say it."

"I was… your fluffy panda." Ulrich said slightly disappointed

"Yeah you were."

Then Mallory and Ulrich started to lean in. Their lips were only a few inches away.

"Hey. No PDA in front of your mother."

"Mom? Not in front of the cute guy."

"Oh, sorry honey."

"Hey panda?"

"Yeah?"

"What time does the movie start?"

"Uhhh 7:00."

"Well its 6:45 right now, so we better go."

"Ok."

"Bye mommy."

"Bye."

Together, Ulrich and Mallory left. When they walked out, Mallory looked over and noticed how high up she was. She immediately felt like she was going to throw up.

"Still scared of heights?"

"Yeah. Still don't know how my mom got me on the plane."

"Hey, just hold on to me. I won't let anything happen to you."

Then Ulrich kissed her on the head.

Ulrich and Mallory arrived at the movies at about 6:50. They paid for their tickets and walked to their theater. They walked through the theater and found the perfect seats. While waiting for the movie to start, Ulrich was watching the entrance. While watching it, Mallory tapped his shoulder. Before he looked away, he could have sworn that he saw Yumi.

"I can't believe you remembered our favorite movie."

"Of course. You're my little koala." Ulrich said pinching her nose."

"And you're my fluffy panda."

Ulrich and Mallory started to lean in. But, right before their lips met, the movie started.

"Oh it's starting."

Phewww. That was a long one. So what do you think of Mallory? For me, I just thought of the perfect girl for Ulrich. I also thought of her as Yumi 2.0

Did you think that was Yumi at the theater?

Please follow and review.

Bye
