Code Lyoko: Generation 3

Chapter 1 - Reunion

"Ulrich!"

Ulrich opened an eye. "....huh.....wha....sleep...please..." he mumbled. An impatient young woman tapped her foott, sitting on the comfortable squashy black couch in the living room of the their high rise Kyoto apartment.

"Ulrich! Breakfast!"

"Coming!"

Ulrich swug his legs over the edge of the bed. He stood up and streched his arms, before cracking his neck. Ugh. It always took him ages to wake up properly. he looked over at the digital clock on the bedside table. 7 AM. Of course. Typical. Ulrich chuckled to himself. She slways liked waking up early to watch the red sunrise.

Ulrich combed his fingers through his semi short chocolate brown hair and made his way into the living room. The flat screen TV on the wall had a news reporter in Kansai reporting on some sort of brand new Hatsune Miku exhibition taking place there. He didn't pay much attention but the blue twintails were easily recogniseable.

"I called you twenty minutes ago Ulrich!"

He looked to his left. There she was, her hands on her hips and with that strong but know it all look in her brown eyes that Ulrich loved. Her waist length black hair tumbling down her left shoulder.

"Sorry Yumi-chan." He joked.

"Don't call me chan,"

He rubbed the back of his head as she put on her serious face. Oops. Nearly crossed a line there.

Yumi handed him a plate of bacon and eggs, her serious expression turning into a smile as he kissed her cheek.

"Thanks hun." Ulrich sat at the table and looked at the TV, the reporter now interviewing Fujita Saki, Yumi's favourite voice actress. Ulrich recogised her only for her role in their favourite show, Shingeki no Kyojin, where she placed the strong, confident character of Ymir. 

Yumi sat beside him and half payed attention to the interview about Miku as she was researching part time jobs in Kyoto, when suddenly, the familiar beeping sound of a Skype call invaded her screen.

Ulrich looked over at the screen, as their blonde haired friend, who they hadn't spoken to in years, popped up on the screen.

"Yumi!" he grinned. Yumi looked stunned, and Ulrich scratched his head at the figure on the screen.

"Ulrich, is that you? Wow you two look different."

"Jeremy Belpois, long time no see." Yumi broke the three second silence.

Jeremy looked completely different, he wore contact lenses now, losing the glasses, and his hair was slightly darker and shorter.

A pink haired girl poked her head into view.

"Hi guys!!"

"Aelita!" Yumi and Ulrich smiled at their friends.

"Whats with the sudden call Jeremy?"

Jeremy hesitated for a moment,

"It's a long story."
