Chapter 1:
Ulrich stood staring at the cloud of black smoke gathering in front of him. Thanks to Jeremy's computer training he could virtualize himself, so he came here in secret all alone. Ulrich didn't like deceiving his friends and going behind their backs, but he just had to see him. William materialized out of the smoke and locked eyes with Ulrich, he could see pain, a sadness, in them, and in his, the brunette boy could see a faint glimmer of hope and compassion, but it was fading. He always acted like he hated William when he was around his friends, but the truth was just the opposite. Ulrich loved William more than he loved life itself, but those emotions were for only him and William to know, that's why he was now hurting inside. He broke the connection between them and stared down at the cold virtual ground and cleared his throat, "William..."
The raven haired youth gently grabbed Ulrich's chin and turned his head to face him. The teen kissed him on the cheek ever so lightly, causing Ulrich to blush and the tears he'd be holding in to fall down his cheeks. William, so pale now and looking stunning in his black outfit was confused by the boy's tears and gave him a look of concern, "Ulrich... What's wrong, Ulrich?"
Ulrich turned his gaze back to the ground, not wanting to look him in the eye, "William... I... can't keep doing this. Sneaking away from the others, lying to them about where i'm going, what i'm doing. I'm not even sure if you really want me here anymore. And... you've changed. You're not the same William I fell in love with."
The teen was shocked by this statement, "I know that the situation is different now, but i'm still the same person I was, I'm just working for the other side. I love you, Ulrich, and of course I want you here."
Ulrich shook his head, "I'm just not sure if this is going to work out. I don't want to keep fighting you for appearances, I don't want to have to leave you every time and not know if we'll ever see each other again."
William gazed straight into his eyes and said, completely serious, "You... Don't have to go. You could join me, fight along side me. It'll be the same war, you'll just be on a different side."
Ulrich shook his head, "I'm sorry, William, but I have not interest in being XANA's slave. I don't know why you do, but i'm not going to throw my life away by giving it to XANA. I've got to go. Classes will be starting soon. If i'm late again Mrs. Herts will kill me and people will start to get suspicious."
William nodded and disappeared into the digital sea, leaving Ulrich standing at the edge of the virtual glacier.
Ulrich creeped through the door of the science room fifteen minutes after the bell rang, hoping he wouldn't be caught being late. Luckily Mrs. Herts was in the middle of writing something on the board and didn't notice his tardiness.  He sat down in his seat and let out a sigh of relief. The teacher hadn't noticed him come in, but Odd, Jeremy and Aelita sure didn't. Odd turned to him and whispered, "Where were you? This is like the third time you've been late this week."
Jeremy turn in his seat to face him, "Yeah, Ulrich. You don't have the best grades but you're never usually late. What were you doing?"
He sank down in his seat. Time for another lie. Just add it to the ever growing list, "I went into town. I had needed some new shoes and I had to mail a few letters. No big deal, I just lost track of time while I was out."
Jeremy gave him a skeptical look but went back to copying down what was being written on the board. Odd huffed and began folding a piece of notebook paper into the shape of a paper airplane. He knew they didn't believe him, but they weren't going to question him any more about it. His friends trusted him, when in all truth they shouldn't. Ulrich sank further down in his chair. He couldn't do this to them anymore.
