Author's Note: Okay...I'm jumping a little, but I think you'll be able to follow, if you can't, review and let me know so I can change it.

The rest of the week was composed of packing, last minute directions, and of course, the ordering of the garb. The clothes would be awaiting them in their hotel rooms, one less thing to worry about packing. Luckily as far as anyone knew, the principle hadn't bothered any attempts at contacting Aelita's parents. Though they suspected Jeremie had something to do with it, they just couldn't prove it.

"Well, this is it," Yumi said, slinging her bag over her shoulder. They looked at her and she smiled. "In exactly twenty minutes we'll be in the air on the way to a real Renaissance Faire..."

"Yeah, this is going to be great!" Odd exclaimed. He sat down on one of the plastic seats and picked his bag up carefully from the ground, setting it in his lap. "Your going to have a blast Kiwi, trust me," he whispered into the bag.

"Odd! You brought Kiwi with you?" Jeremie hissed, looking around quickly.

"Of course, you wouldn't expect me to leave him home alone. Who would feed him?" Odd demanded, holding the now-squirming bag close to him. "Anyway, no one will even know," he said off handedly.

"Yeah...and what happens when he has to go?" Ulrich asked.

"Or when he gets hungry?" Aelita put in.

"Or, when we get into the air and his ears start popping?" Yumi asked.

"I took him before we left, and I'll take him halfway through the flight, into the bathrooms on board-"

"Remind me not to go in for the rest of the flight," Jeremie joked.

Odd stuck his tongue out at Jeremie before looking at the others. "And to answer your other questions, I'll feed him some of my dinner, and I'll give him some goodies to eat before we land. It'll be fine. Don't worry."

"Right..." Ulrich said. Odd glared at him, and held the bag closer, keeping it open enough for Kiwi to get air. They sat around talking and planning what they were going to do first when they got there.

"All passengers for Flight 266 to Lavardens, France, please board at Gate C6 now," a voice over the intercom called.

"That's us," Yumi said. They stood, and Odd zipped his bag up partway, heading to the boarding gate, tickets in hand.

"So how did you get him past security anyway?" Ulrich asked as they sat in the plane, the plane soaring effortlessly in the air.

"Easy, I told them it was a kit that I put together. They didn't doubt it...gullible..." Odd muttered. They all laughed, Aelita and Jeremie sitting in front, then Yumi and Ulrich, and Odd and his...backpack.

"How'd you get an extra seat?" Aelita asked curiously.

"Well...let's see, they said that the kid got sick at the last minute. Meaning, I'm not rooming with him like originally planned. So...Ulrich, Jeremie, you get a third roommate!"

"How fantastic..." Ulrich muttered. Jeremie smiled at him before glancing out the window.

"Look Aelita, you can see the fields below, and that's a river," he said.

Aelita grinned. "It's so beautiful up here. The sky is so endless."

"Ladies and Gentlemen please restore your seats to their upright positions. Lock all trays and put away all loose baggage and turn off all electronic devices. And please fasten your seatbelts. We will be landing shortly," the pilot called.

Ulrich grinned at them. "Well...I guess in a few moments we'll be returning to the past."

"Ha-ha-ha," Jeremie said. They all laughed as they followed the instructions. "Oh and Ulrich, Sissi's looking over here."

"Shut-it Jeremie. And when we get into the airport, lets hurry up and escape," Ulrich said.

"I agree. We don't need a run-in with Sissi so soon in our trip," Yumi added. "That's something we can definitely live without."

"Yeah, and I don't want her finding out Kiwi's here. She called him a mongrel," Odd said. "And he's sensitive about his breed," he added.

They all rolled their eyes, laughing as they descended into the airport. "Look Yumi, it's the castle," Ulrich said, pointing out the window. She looked and grinned.

"It's beautiful."

"Yeah."

There was a bump and then they were rolling on the runway, taxiing to the terminals. "Welcome to Lavardens, France. I hope you have enjoyed your flight and have a pleasant stay. And a special hello to the students of Kadic. We hope that they have a wonderful time."

Author's Note: Well, when I took a school trip, they did say a special thing to us, so it's not to far off...if anyone was wondering. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Remember to review! Thanks!
