Based off of Change by Taylor Swift.

Disclaimer: It hasn't even been 24 hours since the last chapter. I own nothing.

Enjoy(:


He rolled his eyes as he watched as William attempted to flirt with Yumi. Well 'attempt' wouldn't be the right word considering she was blushing at whatever he said. He knew he shouldn't feel this way; he had already lived this day before. He knew exactly what would happen next and he could change it to work in his favor.

Plus, she was just his good friend; there was no need to get jealous, right?

William asked her something and she raised an eyebrow and looked at him, as if asking if it was okay. He sighed and gave a small nod, offering a small smile as well. She smiled and then nodded to William.

What good friend would stop them from going on dates?

Even if the dates were no-good, sleazy, scumbags with stupid hair.

She said good-bye to William and walked over to him, a knowing smile on her face, "I'm allowed to go out with William without you wanting to tear his face apart? The world must be ending." She joked, hoisting her bag up onto her shoulders.

He huffed, "It's not a date, it's just two people studying, it's completely platonic." He said.

She raised an eyebrow, "Platonic? Really?" She asked amused.

He remembered last night.

"Two more Bloks on your right be careful Ulrich!" Jeremie's voice said to them. Ulrich launched himself off of his Overbike and landed on top of a Megatank, driving his katana into the Eye of X.A.N.A. He jumped off of the Megatank, landing on his knees as the monster exploded behind him.

He looked up to the sky, "We're trying Einstein!" He shouted upwards. He looked over to see Yumi fighting off two Krabs. One of the Krabs shot a beam at her, hitting her in the arm. She stumbled and fell down The Krab began to charge up for another beam, it would surely finish Yumi.

"Super Sprint!" He shouted, speeding towards her. He let out a cry and slid underneath the Krab, sticking his katana up, slicing through the bottom of the Krab. The Krab stumbled around before exploding. He got up and dusted himself off before running over to Yumi and offered her a hand.

"Need some help?" He asked, smiling at her.

She smiled back, "Thanks." She said.

Jeremie's voice came again, "Three Tarantulas coming your way. I don't understand this; he shouldn't be able to generate monsters so fast." He said, muttering the last part.

He looked at Yumi and she returned his look of desperation, they were definitely outnumbered.

He looked at her, "What? It's true!" He said before letting a smirk come onto his face, "Plus, now I know you wouldn't let it be any more than that." He said smugly.

She blushed, "What? No!" She defended weakly.

He nodded slowly, a smug look in his eyes, "Uh huh sure, if I recall correctly, you said something about liking a certain someone but because of things that shall remained unnamed you won't do anything-" He was cut off by Yumi slapping a hand on his mouth.

She glowered, "I know what I said." She hissed.

He lifted an eyebrow before removing her hand, "And why can't I repeat it?" He asked innocently.

She fumbled around to explain, "Well- because you know it's like this-"She stumbled around with her words.

He chuckled, "it's alright, you don't have to explain yourself." He told her.

She glared at him, "Hey I'm not the only one. I clearly remember some similar words being said, too." She shot back, cornering him figuratively.

It was his turn to blush, "Well you see uh-"He stuttered.

She smirked victoriously, crossing her arms, "Not so smart now, are you?" She said coyly.

He narrowed his eyes at her, "Shut up." He muttered, stuffing his hands in his pockets, hating the fact that he had been cornered.

She laughed, "I got to go, see you later Ulrich." She said warmly.

He sulked, "Yeah see you." He muttered. She gave him an amused look before quickly pecking him on the cheek and running to her next class, leaving him standing there.

His eyes were wide and he blushed profoundly. Then he felt a small smile growing on his face. He smiled to himself and looked to where Yumi had left.

He thought back to the previous night on Lyoko when things had changed between them.

"Yumi, there's just a few more. Come on you can do it." Ulrich encourage. Yumi lay on the ground, clutching her side.

"Yumi, you have twenty Life Points left, one more shot and you're back to the real world." Jeremie said.

Yumi nodded and stood up and nodded at Ulrich. She took out her fans and they charged at the two remaining monsters.

'One step closer to beating X.A.N.A.' She kept reminding herself as she fought the remaining monsters. She let out a small scream as she threw her fan, watching as it sliced through the Manta. She caught the fan and smirked victoriously.

"How you doing over there?" Ulrich called.

She nodded, "Good. Need help?" She asked.

He shook his head and he jumped and slid his katana into the center of the Hornet. He jumped away as it exploded.

"Great guys, Aelita's in the tower. Give me a few minutes to bring you in." Jeremie said. They nodded and waited. Ulrich looked at Yumi just as she turned her head in his direction. Their eyes locked and they instantly thought the same thing.

They needed to talk.

It had been the night that things had changed.


I feel like some of my chapters are redundant. Is my feeling correct? Please do tell. I'm going to come up with new ideas. R&R?
