CONTINUATION
…everything back to normal again…
----------------------------------------------
Yumi woke up in her bed, safe and snug. She realized that it wasn't morning of the next day, but morning of the day she had just been in…again again. Sound even weirder than before? That's because it was.
"Sweetheart! Get up! You're going to be late for school." Her mother's voice drifted to her from downstairs, just like every morning. Yumi yawned, stretched, threw her covers back and quickly dressed into her normal black clothes. Then she ran downstairs with her black backpack in hand. She dropped the backpack next to the door on the way to the kitchen.
Her mom met her in the kitchen with a big grin. Yumi said her good mornings and poured herself a bowl of cereal. She loved cereal, all crunchy and sweet and soggy when they soak in the warm milk.
Breakfast was her favorite meal of the day. It got her ready for anything the day could dish out…again again…
------------
"Rise and shine, Ulrich!" Odd said, mauling Ulrich violently with his white pillow. Ulrich jumped and awoke, growling and attempting to tackle Odd to the ground.
"Odd, shut up and go back to sleep. It's too early."
"Early? It's not early! It's time for breakfast! And we wouldn't want to miss that now, would we? Anyway, we've already been through this twice before. You know what happens after you say, 'I hate breakfast. Breakfast is too early,' in that whiny voice of yours and you know what happens after I say back, 'Too bad, buddy boy.'" Odd grinned widely.
Ulrich grumbled and sat up. "Fine. You win. For now."
Odd nodded resolutely. "I sure do."
------------
"I hate reliving days," Ulrich said, lounging on a bench in the sun as the group waited for Yumi and for class to start…again again…for the day. "You think it'd be good for students like me who never pay attention the first time class comes around. But I just end up falling to sleep even earlier the second time around because I've already heard all the things the teachers have to say, which isn't anything important anyway. And the third time around, let's not even bring that up."
"Oh well," Odd said, glancing up as Jeremie joined the two of them on the bench underneath a tree. "Hey, Jeremie. Congratulations about making everything back to normal again. I no longer need to ask you if you talked to Aelita yet."
"But I did," Jeremie said, flashing his two friends a smile. "She says that Lyoko is back to normal, again."
"That's good," Yumi said with a smile as she joined her friends at the spot they had met in the mornings for three straight times. "Hey, Ulrich," she said, with a grin, sitting next to Ulrich this time. Ulrich grinned back at her and slid an arm slyly around her waist.
"I was thinking," he whispered into her ear. "Now that we pretty much know that we have feelings for each other, let's just…well, you know…" He wrapped his other arm around her waist as well, pulling her closer to him.
Yumi smiled and relaxed in his arms. "Not yet, Ulrich Stern. You have to write me a note. And give me a rose."
"Are you serious, Yumi?" Ulrich asked, remembering the rose escapade the last time they relived the day. "Come on, just spare me the roses…"
"I'm totally serious, Ulrich. And you have to get me that rose."
"Uggggh," he said, burying his face in her black hair that was already warm from the sun. "Fine, fine. I'll do that again and get my hands all scratched and bloodied…just for you."
"Aw, you're sweet," Yumi said, reaching up and tapping Ulrich on the nose.
"Ulrich!" Sissi strutted up followed by a few of her closest girl friends. Yumi sighed and looked up at the incoming Queen of Annoyingland. Then she slid a glance at Ulrich and felt her heart flutter and relax in relief at the same time. No trace of any blushing was visible, which was good. Her mind had a field day as well. Haha…loser Sissi. No Ulrich for you!
"Go away," Ulrich said in a bored tone. Sissi threw her face into the air and walked away again.
"I was going to ask you to help me with my English homework, but I guess now I'll just have to ask Herb," she said, her unimportant voice trailing off into nothingness.
"Well, that was a pathetic attempt at trying to get you jealous," Odd said, nudging Ulrich in the ribs. "Although the last time you were here, I do remember you calling Sissi pretty."
Ulrich nudged Odd back, sharper. "That was Xana talking. But never, never again."
"Good," Yumi said, leaning her head on Ulrich's shoulder. Just as she finished talking the bell rang.
