this is a camping trip... with your worst enemy... oh this is going to be fun

When Ulrich woke up he saw Odd sitting bolt upright in his bed.

"Are you ok?" Ulrich asked pulling out his ear plugs.

Odd shook his head; he looked like he was going to be sick.

Ulrich raised one eye brow and got up. "Want to explain why?" his question was asked in a playful tone, but there was real curiosity behind it.

"The camp out," Odd choked.

"So?" Ulrich had a guess but he wasn't going to assume anything. Pulling out some clothes he listened to his friend 'explain'.

"Two whole weeks of no computers, TV, music, decent food, electricity!" Odd seemed on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

"Trust me, you'll survive," Ulrich was not going to have any sympathy.

"Just because you get to spend it all with Yumi," Odd relaxed a little—transferring the nervous tension to his friend.

"What are you talking about?" Ulrich asked, stiff as a board in posture.

"You know," Odd cackled. He was out of bed now and preparing for the day. Yet another miracle speech from Ulrich.


Yumi hurried behind Aelita and Jerimie who were both talking in lowered voices.

"Hi, guys," she panted.

Aelita turned to her with a look of relief on her face, "why are you so late?" she asked.

"Hiroki," Yumi rolled her eyes.

Both girls said nothing and they had that strange silent understanding thing they did. It came with being the only two girls on a team of many boys.

"So are we ready to go?" asked Odd's voice from behind them.

Both Ulrich and Odd had snuck up on the group. Odd looked nervous but was smiling, and Ulrich had his normally grumpy expression on.

"I think so," answered Aelita, "but Jim isn't here yet."

"No," moaned Ulrich, "please say Jim isn't going to be in charge of this trip."

"Good morning students," said Jim. "I will be in charge of this trip. So no funny business"

Ulrich slapped his hand over his eyes and groaned. He looked almost as sick as Odd did that morning.

short i know but i hoped you enjoyed it
