A/N: Here's a little Thanksgiving gift from me. Thanx again to the people for reviewing! You made me smile. So I've been neglecting Yumi and Ulrich so this chapter will have more of them in it. Btw i needed the movie to remind her of the current situation and this was the first thing that came to mind.

Disclaimer:I don't own Code Lyoko. *sad face*.

Aelita woke up to the slim rays of light sneaking their way into her room. She sat up, yawned and stretched. The pink haired girl had woken up happy for the first time in a while, but soon the memories from two weeks ago flashed before her eyes. She shut them tight and fell back on her bed. She tried to delete the scenes but they refused from tormenting her conscience.

Flashback

"Aelita," Odd breathed out in a husky whisper as he continued to nip her soft lips. She gasped when a moaned formed in the back of her throat. Never had she felt a pleasing experience when kissing Jeremy. Maybe because Jeremy doesn't make you feel half as good as Odd does, a little voice in her mind told her. Jeremy, she thought. Aelita pulled back. Odds mouth was still open and his eyes were glued shut. He opened one before smiling at her.

"What's the matter Princess?" he asked slowly approaching her. Aelita moved back. She couldn't believe what she had done! The Lyoko warrior stepped back until her back hit the door. Odd's smile was replaced with a frown.

"Aelita?" he asked cautiously reaching a hand out to touch her. Aelita knew he meant to harm but her arms flew up to her face protectedly. Odd stopped and gave her a curious look.

"I'm sorry Odd," she said before bolting out the room. Odd grabbed her arm and turned her aound to face him. There were tears streaming down her innocent face. Odd reached out his hand to cup her face and she leaned into his comforting touch.

"Aelita tell me what's wrong," he said pulling her closer into an embrace. She stood there her head in the crook of his neck, now glistening with her tears. She wanted to tell him, but no wrds came out. After a couple minutes she pulled back, wiped her face and said

"I'm sorry Odd,"

Sje kissed his cheek and left. He wanted to chase after her, he really did but she need space and time. Odd returned to his room and layed down on his bed confused and pleasured on what just happened.

Aelita banged her head on the tiled shower wall. The hot water scorched her back but she didn't care, she felt she damn right deserved it. She had cheated on Jeremy with his friend no less. But she couldn't ignore the nagging feeling anmore. Ever since she had started going out with Jeemy she felt herself wanting to be with the funny young boy. He always protected her in the real world and in Lyoko.

"Stupid dumbass!" she said banging her head on the ugly tiled wall. She felt a pain shoot up from the top of her head down to the base of her spine. She closed her eyes and let the dizzyness fade out before hopping out the shower and getting dressed. She had performed and outstanding job of avoiding her friends(excluding Yumi and Ulrich) but she had a feeling her luck was about to run out today.

And right she was.

The tension surround was so thick you could choke on it. Adding onto that an eerie, awkward silence that made even the surrounding tables uncomfortable. Aelita sat down at the table keeping her eyes cast downward, avoiding Jeremy and Odd.

"Hey Aelita," Yumi greeted her friend as she sat down. Aelita sent a puny, pathetic attempt of a smile her way before sitting down across from her next to Ulrich who prayed words of thanks for the first time in years at Yumis excuse for breaking the unbearable silence. But the tension was back and thicker than ever when Jeremy sat down. Aelita, her eyes refusing to look at anything besides her breakfast. The awkward silence continued before Aelita excused herself and left, Jeremy followed suit going out a different exit abandoning his breakfast leaving Yumi and Ulrich alone.

Ulrich looked confused before asking, "What haappened?"

Yumi shrugged and continued to eat her breakfast. "I wish I knew, hey have you seen Odd?" she asked trying to switch to a diffrent subject. Maybe one less uncomfortable.

"That's funny I was about to ask you the same question," the boy replied. Yumi gave him a confused look.

"You're room mates, you should know these things,"

"Yea but we haven't talked in like two weeks, he always keeps to himself, and he comes back at like three in the morning and when I wakes up he's not there," Ulrich told her. I weird alien feeling started bubbling him his stomach and suddenly he wasn't so hungry anymore.

"That's weird Jeremy, Odd and Aelita have been acting strange, you don't think-" Yumi started.

"That there's something going between them?" he finished for her.

"Yeah," she said, "I think there is, and I'll be damned if I don't find out what it is." Ulrich mentally smiled at her determination. Yumi was always so kind and thoughtful, strong, independent, beautiful. His mind started rambling about all he loved about Yumi.

"Ulrich...UUlllrriiiccchh," Yumi drawled out his name waving a hand in his face trying to drag him out of his trance.

"Wha-What oh hey Yumi, what's uh what's up?"

"What were you thinking about?" she asked with a raised eye brow.

"So about Aelita, Odd and Jeremy what are we gonna do about them," said Ulrich trying to worm his way out of the current situatuation.

"Oh yea! So what I was thinking is that we could ask them whats wrong," she suggested.

"That's too blunt and we haven't talked to them in a while,"

"Yeah how about me and Aelita have a sleep over and you and Odd have a guys night out, we could slip in the conversation," Yumi suggested. Ulrich smiled at the idea.

"Yeah that's not too bad," he said taking a sip of his orange juice.

"Okay we'll ask them at lunch,"

A slight chill snaked its way through the buildings. The chilly air was snapping at the young girls ears as they stroled casually on the desolate streets, heir laughter filling the night.


"How could you enjoy that?" Yumi asked. The ad just seen a movie Jane's Great Adventure. Aelita's eyes were glued to the screen, Yumi however nearly fell asleep. It was a story about a young girl who wakes up from a life long nap and goes and discovers the world. Yumi was hesitant at first but it was either that or The Secret Labyrinth which is said to be the scariest movie of the year but now Yumi was wishing she had choosen the movie that would make her fear the thought of sleep than watch a movie that lulled her into sleep.

"How could you not enjoy that," Aelita retorted.

"It was disgusting,"

"It was magical,"

"Magical?" her black haired warrior asked. What I'd do for a friend, she said mentally.

"Yes," said her pink haired friend. Aelita was kind of naive but also innocent and pure and thats why Yumi liked her. Thats also why she must have liked that movie. Another breeze blew by making them shiver.

"Is your house far away?" Aelta asked over the racket of her teeth rattling.

"No just a block away," said Yumi rubbing her arms with her hands.

They finially reached her house and went inside for the warmth. The two girls then went upstairs to Yumi's room.

"It was nice of your parents to let me stay for the night," Aelita siad changing into her pajamas(pink of course).

"Who said they agreed," Yumi called from the living room, "they're out of town for a while." Aelita was about to lecture her but Yumi put a movie into the DVD player.

"So what are we watching now?" Aelita asked. She'll save lecturing Yumi for another day.

"I forget the title but it's really good," said Yumi sitting cross legged on a pillow placed on the floor. Aelita lounged on the sofa with the afghan wrapped around her legs.

"What's it about?"

Yumi smiled at her friend, "you'll see."

About two hours later Aelita was in tears, wiping her face as the end credits appeared on the screen. Yumi was comforting her friend, rubbing her back. "C'mon Aelita it wasn't that sad. It was a tragic love story about a young musician who cheats on her rich boyfriend for a poor artist. Everything goes well until the rich boyfriend finds out and murders the writer. The young musician heart-broken and devasted killed the rich man before taking her own life. It was dark, but enchanting and moving. Throughout the movie all Aelita kept thinking was 'story of my freaking life'.

"I was depressing," she wailed more tears slipping down her face. "It almost remind me of..."

Aelita stopped crying and Yumi ceased rubbing her back. She gave a curious look at Aelita.

"What does it remind you of?" Yumi asked her friend. Aelita looked around nervously.

"Forget I said anything,"

"Aelita-"

"It's nothing really," she said a little too quickly.

"Aelita," said Yumi looking straight at her friend, "You can tell me anything you know that." After what seemed like an eternity of pondering Aelita finally nodded her head.

"I'll tell but please to think of me worse after," she pleaded.

"I would never,"


One confession later Yumi handed her friend a cup of hot chocolate. It was early in the morning and both girls were exhausted but Yumi refused to rest. After hearing this she couldn't sleep. Now finding out what had cause all of this weird tension for the past month she could do anything but sleep right now.

"Have you talked to Odd about it?" Yumi asked handing her a napkin. Aelita accepted it gratefully and wiped her tears.

"No, I"ve been afraid to confront him," she said between sobs. She'd been doing a lot of crying lately.

"Aelita trust me the sooner you tell him you made a mistake the easier things will get,"

Aelita looked at her, "Yumi I don't think what I did was a mistake." That hit Yumi like a ton of of bricks to the face.

"Aelita you cheated on Jeremy," she said in a hushed tone as if Jeremy was right outside the window eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Yes but I-I like Odd," she confesesd softly, "but I also like Jeremy." Yumi sighed. It was better when I didn't know what was happening, she said to herself.

"Aelita-I love you, you're like the sister I never had and I'm telling you this for you're own good. You have to choose one or the other."

Aelita gave a dry humorless laugh. "If only it was that easy." Yumi replied with a yawn.

"C'mon lets go to bed," said Aelita trying to get off the subject. Yumi wanted to continue the subject but was honestly too tired to even think straight. The grirls said their goodnights and got settled fo bed. Yumi closed her eyes as the first rays of the sun peeked in through the windows. I wonder if Ulrich has had better luck, she thought before finally drifting off into an easy, well deserved sleep.

A/N: Yay! Chapter 3. Thanks too all the people who read and reviewed. I tried to make them as in character as possible. You can leave a rewiew and tell me how I'm doing.
