I've been lacking in the 'it's summer, write about it' category, so here's a summer story! Yes, it's delayed, but hey, better late then never right? I hope you like it.

"It's summer!" Odd announced, dropping onto his bed with a blissful smile on his face.
"Yea, we were just talking about that." Ulrich stated shortly, looking across the room at his blonde friend.
"So," Odd said, ignoring Ulrich's comment, "What's the plan?"
"Plan?" Yumi asked, "Plan like, go home, come back, don't forget to call?"
"That's such a boring plan." Odd whined, propping himself up on his right elbow, while his other arm slithered around Aelita's waist, drawing her body closer to his own.
"What else can we do Odd?" Ulrich asked, "It's not like we exactly live close together."
"Odd has a plan." Odd stated.
"Does he now?" Yumi asked, "Does he want to share at all?"
"Maybe." Odd grinned.
"Does Odd's plan include where his little pink girlfriend goes?" Ulrich asked.
"Of course." Odd replied, "Odd thinks of everything."
"Aelita thinks that it's good that Odd at least remembers her." Aelita chirped.
"And where exactly will she go?" Yumi asked.
"She will go with Yumi, and with Ulrich, and with Odd." Odd replied.
"All at once?" Ulrich asked.
"Yes." Odd replied happily.
"How many of her are there?" Yumi asked, looking confused.
"Yea, how am I going to manage that?" Aelita asked, giving Odd a confused look.
"Summer magic." Odd said, rolling onto his back.
"What is summer magic called Odd?" Yumi asked.
"Summer magic." Odd replied, "Or summer magic thingamabobby, whichever you prefer."
"You gonna tell us what you had in mind?" Ulrich prodded.
"Maybe." Odd said, "Maybe I'll let you wait and find out for yourselves."
"What has he done?" Yumi asked Aelita.
"I know as much as you do." Aelita stated.
"You'll know more soon." Odd sighed.
"How do you know this?" Yumi asked.
"I know because I have a sister, named Adele, and she plays the game of warning Odd before everyone else." Odd stated.
"What do you mean?" Ulrich asked.
"I mean to be all confusing for the next three, two, one…" Odd said nonchalantly.
Aelita let out a yelp as Odd pulled her down next to him.
"Now." Odd grinned as the confused looks of Yumi and Ulrich turned to looks of surprise as their cell phones rang simultaneously.
Yumi stood, making her way to the hallway as she answered her phone.
"Hello?" Ulrich asked.
"What's going on?" Aelita whispered.
"It's ok, we'll talk once they get off the phone." Odd whispered back calmly.
Aelita eyed the blonde sideways but didn't object, other than to sit back up on the bed.
"Yea, no, no, that sounds like fun. Lots of fun." Ulrich stuttered, "Yea, alright, I'll see you tomorrow then. Right, Bye." He hung up his cell phone and stared at it disbelievingly.
Yumi came back in and leaned against the door, "So Odd," She said, "Your plan didn't involve this at all did it?"
"What? The lake house? Not exactly my plan, but it was what I was talking about." Odd smiled.
"What?" Aelita asked, feeling completely out of the loop.
"Our parents have rented a lake house." Yumi said, "And we're going there, leaving tomorrow afternoon."
"You mean all together?" Aelita asked.
"Yea," Ulrich answered, "Which means we'll need to pack and stuff soon-ish so that we're ready tomorrow."
"Oh," Aelita said, "I see."
"I knew I came in here for something." Odd sighed.
Yumi and Aelita eyed the blonde, who still lay flat out on his bed.
"We should go… pack." Yumi said, grabbed Aelita by the shoulders and following her closely out of the room.
"You scared the girls away Odd." Ulrich stated bluntly, taking Odd's empty duffel bag and throwing it at him.
"They'll be back. But we've got weeks together now, that's great right?" Odd said, beginning to get excited as he sat up, throwing his duffel on the bed beside him.
"I can't wait." Ulrich rolled his eyes, "Just promise you'll go back to normal?"
"Lyoko warrior's honor." Odd promised.
Ulrich sighed, "Lyoko's gone buddy."
"It's the pride and honor that counts." Odd muttered solemnly.

"Yumi?" Aelita asked, turning to look at her black-haired friend who was folding clothes, placing them neatly inside her black duffel bag.
"Hmm?" Yumi mumbled, turning expectantly towards the younger pink-haired female.
"What's a lake house?" Aelita asked.
"Umm…" Yumi stuttered, caught off guard by such a simple question, "Well, a lake house is… Umm… Why don't we ask Jer? He's better at explaining things."
"He's in Nebraska," Aelita stated, "Visiting his cousins."
"That's right," Yumi muttered, "Umm… A lake house is… a house, near a lake, and it's normally pretty big, which is how we're all gonna fit in one."
"How many of us are there?" Aelita asked.
"There's Ulrich, Odd, me, and you, as well as my family, Hiroki, my mom, and my dad. Then there's Odd's family, and who knows how many more that is." Yumi began.
"Odd's family adds seven." Aelita stated.
"Seven?" Yumi exclaimed.
"Yea, his mom, Adele, Pauline, Elizabeth, Louise, Marie, and Alice." Aelita said, counting the people up on her fingers, "And then Ulrich's family.
"Which is his mom, his dad, Annie and Isabella." Yumi said.
"That's," Aelita muttered, staring intently at the wall behind Yumi as she mentally counted people, "Eighteen of us all together."
"That is a lot of people." Yumi said.
"How long are we there?" Aelita inquired.
"Two weeks." Yumi replied, "Two weeks."
