Ulrich laid on his bed, Odd parallel to him doing the same. Ulrich's expression was one of boredom, his mind off somewhere random. The boys had just finished their last class of the day and were ready to enjoy their weekend off, but had no idea what to do or where to go.

"Maybe we can go see if that new theatre a couple blocks from here is open." Odd said, opening the floor for ideas.

"It won't be open until Thursday." Ulrich said, moving his head to face Odd. "I told you that an hour ago."

"Oh. We could go to the convenience store and get some candy and stuff." Odd said, his mind perpetually focused on food.

"What are you, five?" Ulrich asked in a sarcastic tone.

"No, I'm hungry."

Ulrich cracked a slight smile, humored by his friends words. "Odd, you're always hungry."

"I know, but..."

*Knock* *Knock*

Odd and Ulrich were caught off guard, not expecting visitors.

"Hey, Odd, Ulrich, you in here?" They both knew who it was instantly.

"Hey, come in." Odd said, turning so he was now sitting on the side of his bed.

The door opened with a slight creak to reveal a slightly smirking William standing outside their room.

"Hey, what's up?" Ulrich asked.

"You guys got any plans for tonight?" William asked.

"No, not really. So far we've just been laying here wondering what we are gonna do." Odd replied, Kiwi jumping into his lap as he spoke.

"Well, wonder no more. I got three tickets to the new Alien Invader movie downtown." William said, pulling the tickets out of his pocket and waving them in the air.

"Ah man, how did you get those? The show sold out like thirty minutes after they started selling tickets." Odd said in amazement, never thinking he would see it on opening night.

"I have some... connections. If you guys want to go, then we probably need to head out. The movie starts in like another hour." William said, Ulrich already putting his jacket back in that he had only taken off minutes before.

Aelita sat behind the large monitors of the supercomputer, typing rapidly. She was greatly concerned over her father, causing her to work excessively to try and find him. Her nightmares had progressively gotten worse over the last few days, sometimes keeping her up the entire night. After finishing the line of code she was working on, she turned her head to the elevator which had just begun opening.

"Aelita, what's up?" Jeremy asked, walking out of the large elevator and towards her. "You didn't say much about what you needed in your text."

"I'm just working to find my father. I tried finishing this program on my own, but I couldn't get past this line." Aelita said, pointing to the line of code that was causing her so much grief.

Jeremy closely examined the code, thought for a second and said, "I'm not sure what to do there. It looks like you would need a repeating process evaluator, but that wouldn't work because of how much data it would have to sift through."

"Well, what are we going to do?" Aelita asked, her voice slightly annoyed.

"I'm not sure, I don't think there's a way around in, but I'm not certain." Jeremy said, still evaluating the problem.

"Well, which is it? Can you do it or not!" Aelita raised her voice and stared towards a now concerned looking Jeremy.

"Aelita... are you okay?" Jeremy asked, his voice quiet as he was slightly shaken by her earlier tone.

Aelita had to think about what she had just said for a moment. She had no intent on upsetting Jeremy, hardly understanding why she got angry towards him.

"I'm sorry... It's just, my father. I can't stop thinking about wether or not he's alive. I just want him to be alive, I want to still have a father. My nightmares have been getting worse and I haven't been getting any sleep."

"Aelita, I understand," Jeremy said, leaning closer to her, "but you can't let this dominate your life. We are doing everything we can, I've got my starter program already searching and I'm sure we can figure this one out too." A tear rolled off Aelita's face. "Aelita, don't worry about this now. Go to your room, take a nap. Let me deal with this."

Aelita wasn't sure what to say. Should she insist on helping work on the program or help her sleep deprived self by getting some rest?

"Okay, I guess you're right. I'll head back to my room." Aelita said, hopping out of the chair, allowing Jeremy to take her place.

"I'll text you if I find anything." Jeremy said, looking over at his pink haired angel with a smile. "Don't worry, Aelita, we'll get through this, I promise."

Aelita entered the elevator and turned to face Jeremy with a smile. "Thank you, Jeremy." Her hand pressed the large red button, sending the elevator up the shaft.

Yumi sat in her family's living room, her phone on her lap.

"I just don't think we need any extra channels." Mr. Ishyama said, his voice stern is saying so. "We get the news, that's all we need."

"Well what if I want to watch some cooking channels? Maybe I could cook better food for us?" Mrs. Ishiyama's argument was well placed in her mind, but not in her husbands.

"Better food isn't worth the $90 it would cost a month to get a new box." Yumi's father got up from his seat and began walking away. "This argument is over and that's final."

Yumi's mom stood up as well, following her husband. "Your father, never able to hold a conversation without finding something to get mad about." Mrs. Ishiyama said to Yumi just before she exited the room.

Yumi hadn't payed much attention to their conversation. She had a worried look on her face as she stared at her phone.

'It's been three hours, why hasn't he texted me?' She thought, leaving she mind to consider a few ideas as to why he hadn't. 'Maybe it's a X.A.N.A. attack?' She thought, but quickly found it unlikely, or at least hoped it wasn't. 'I hope he's alright.'

Yumi's thoughts went on like this for a few minutes, her mind only thinking of Ulrich. What she thought about it, that's honestly what she already did. Ulrich was one of the most important things to her in the world, and so she was quick to worry for him. What she didn't know was that the time to be worried wouldn't truly come until later.

Thanks for all the support, keep up the good work you guys! This episode is honestly one of my favorites to write, and you will see why in the next couple of days.
