Ulrich's POV:
*Yawn* I awoke as the sunlight landed on my face. Ah, a peaceful Sunday morning! Not a XANA attack in sight, I finally got a chance to sleep in. I thought as I began to rub the sand from my eyes. Looking over at the clock, I could see it was about 10'oclock. Good, I can still get some breakfast. I better wake up Odd, or else the walking stomach will never forgive me for missing a meal. I grabbed some clothes as I reached over to Odd's bed. "Hey, you want to get up now? We still have time to get some breakfast if you hurry!" I shook him a bit. Groggily he sat up and rubs his eyes and petted a sleeping Kiwi at the same time. "Alright, Alright, I'm coming…I'll meet you there." He said as he stretched.
Grabbing a plate of waffles and a cup of hot cocoa, I walked over to our favorite table where Aelita was already sitting there alone. "Hey Princess, where is Einstein? Did he already have breakfast?" I asked as I sat down. "No, and I'm beginning to worry. Last night, I talked to him after I had a nightmare and he said he would be here…" She sounded really worried. "Hmm… have you tried his room yet? May be he slept in for once." I asked as I saw Odd enter the lunchroom. "Maybe your right… But Jeremie has never kept me waiting like this." She wondered as she looked out the window. "Well, knowing our Einstein, He is most likely fell asleep at the keyboard working on some program to add to the Skid." Odd inputted as he sat down at the table and began to eat at a breakneck speed, as usual. "Well, it is possible…" Aelita said as she went back to looking out the window. "I know; let's go check his room after we finish up here. By the way Odd eats, Yumi will be able to get away from her family and come join us as usual. That way, if XANA or something else is behind this, we will be all together to deal with any situation." I tried to reassure her as I finished up my waffle. "Don't worry Princess; I'm not that hungry today. Just give me about… four helpings of waffles and I'll be ready to go." Odd said as he grabbed his second helping. "Well, alright…" Aelita said. Man, she is really worried. I haven't seen her like this since that attack in the gymnasium. I hope he is not in real danger.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Aelita knocked on Jeremie's door. "Jeremie?" she asked as she opened the door. Looking quickly around, all four of us could see that he was not there. "Hmm, strange... Judging by the mess of his bed, he left in a hurry." Yumi said as she entered the room. "And look! He even got dressed at top speed." Aelita said, pointing to the pile of clothes on the floor. Looking around myself, I spotted the pad of sticky notes by the computer. I saw the top one had something written on it. "Hey! What's this?" I asked as I grab the note to show the others. "Huh? There coordinates to a tower on Lyoko. Hang on! I'll check the Superscann." Aelita said as she jumped on Jeremie's computer. Clicking the keys at high speed, she pulled up some kind of a log. What is that log for? Ugh! I'll never understand computers like Jeremie and Aelita can. "Let's see… According to the Superscann log, that tower was active last night, but it was later deactivated by XANA. "Aelita said as she looked at the screen. "Could that mean Einstein could have been captured by XANA?" Odd asked as he sat on the bed. "Hmm. I don't know… hang on!" Aelita said as she grabbed her phone out of her pocket. Clicking the keys, I could see the look of worry creep onto her face. "What's wrong Aelita?" Yumi asked as she put a hand on her shoulder. "It seems that during the time the tower was activated, is when I called Jeremie. But he told me there were no activated towers on Lyoko…strange…" Aelita said. "So where can he be?" I asked out loud. "Hey! Why don't we head over to the lab, maybe we can find some more evidence there?" Yumi suggested to the group. "Alright! Off the lab we go!" Odd said as he led us out of the room. As I closed the door behind me, I looked at the poster of the real Einstein on Jeremie's wall. I could feel a sense of doom setting in about all of this. I have a funny feeling about this…
(Oh dear! What horror will our fierce warriors find at the Lab? Will they find Jeremie in time or will XANA destroy the world? Find out next time I update!)
