Author's Note: And so begins the next (revised) List. I know I've been saying I was planning on doing Odd or Sissi's next, but I felt like Yumi didn't really get a lot of screen time in Ulrich's List so I decided to try her out. To those of you joining from Ulrich's List, I hope you enjoy this one just as much as Ulrich's (or more). To those of you who may be new, this chapter will be the List, and then 25 chapters will follow, varying in length, on the subject of each number. Make sense?
Again, due to school assignments and studying I'm not sure when I'll be able to update, but I will be updating whenever I get a chance.
I hope you all enjoy this.
1. Her mother told her that France would "make everything better." She hadn't quite forgiven her for that lie yet.
2. Odd called her uptight, she saw herself as realistic.
3. Her mother warned her that "boys will only break your heart." She wanted to prove her wrong (she still hadn't).
4. She was not a goth and she hated it when people assumed she was.
5. She seriously considered leaving Sissi to drown during one X.A.N.A. attack (she didn't, but the guilt stays with her).
6. There was a time when she honestly believed that she and Ulrich would last forever.
7. Her parents wondered how she turned into an insomniac - she could never properly explain that it was because she was waiting for her phone to ring any second.
8. She laughed off Sissi's advances on Ulrich (until she heard him call her Eli the first time).
9. She looked forward to having Aelita join their group (until she did and she realized Aelita wasn't as mature as she had anticipated).
10. She hated bugs.
11. Every time they got summoned to Lyoko she dreaded it (no matter how hard she tried she couldn't forget the digital sea).
12. She tried not to like Will (he was everything she swore she wouldn't fall for) but it was only a matter of time (and they all knew it).
13. Switching bodies with Odd was one of the strangest things she'd ever experienced.
14. Hiroki blamed her for breaking up with Ulrich and she didn't have the heart to tell him his hero ended it with her.
15. Aelita told her of the funeral but she never made it back to Kadic for it (if she were honest, she didn't really try).
16. She never liked Emily.
17. Saturday nights were Girls Nights, no matter what.
18. She kept in contact with Jeremie the most (even if Aelita was the more persistent).
19. She liked to bake.
20. Sometimes she saw very little difference between Jeremie and X.A.N.A.
21. They never talked about it but sometimes, late at night when the fighting grew louder, Hiroki slipped silently between her sheets and she hummed old Japanese lullabies until he fell back to sleep.
22. Sometimes in between kisses she saw the darkness return to Will's eyes.
23. Until the day she died she would never admit that she was happy Hiroki was in that accident (it made the fighting stop).
24. She moved to Paris and enrolled at Sciences Po. She lived in a tiny studio and went to class (she stopped taking sleep aids) and X.A.N.A. became a nightmare, Lyoko a dream (she smiled).
25. Aelita cried when she showed up to their graduation. (She won't admit that she almost didn't come.)
