Ok, well, these nine weeks have many vacations for me. I just got back from band trip, and a state band competition. We got second in the state, but we would have won if drumline got a 1. We (drumline) got a 2. Oh well, here's the 4th chapter.
Begin Chapter
Dr. Hikari got home around eight o'clock that night to find that Lan had decided to go over and talk to Maylu, that Hub had gone to talk to Roll, and his wife playing a game on the computer.
"Good evening honey," he said as he walked over and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"How was your day at work?" she asked as she closed the game.
"I spent all day working on decoding that Gateway chip, and I have barely gotten through the first security level. I need to call Jena to get the decoder," he said as he flopped on the couch.
"She's a nice girl," said Mrs. Hikari as she started making dinner. "I'm sure that she'll give it to you if you ask nicely. I remember that she once gave me the spare key to the nurse's station when I asked her. I still can't figure out why she had it in the first place."
"When was this?" asked Dr. Hikari as he started the email.
"I think that it was the day that Hub was fully incorporated into the program," said Mrs. Hikari as she put some spaghetti into the pot of boiling water. "She came up and said that she had something for me. I asked her what it was and if I could see it. She then handed me the key. I looked to see what the key was, and when I looked back to Jena, she had disappeared." Dr. Hikari thought this over for a minute before he responded.
"Why would she need a key to the station?" he asked as he wrote a few more sentences into the email, signed it, and sent it.
"I don't know, but whatever it was, I'm almost positive that Hub was in on it. He and Jena were inseparable," she said as she stirred the pot. "Just like brother and sister. Do you remember how happy he was when they met?"
"Yes. It's amazing to think that we hadn't seen her in 10 or 11 years," Dr. Hikari said as he walked into the kitchen. "I think that I'm going to take a shower."
"Ok sweetie. I'm going to call Lan and Hub for dinner soon. It should be ready in about half an hour," she said as she started her sauce.

Mega and Roll were sitting in Roll's homepage when his mom contacted Mega.
"Mega, time for dinner. Just thought you'd like to know where Lan is. You need to come home in about an hour."
"Ok mom, bye."
"Maylu's mom cooks dinner later," Roll said as Mega hung up.
"Mom cooks whenever she feels like it," he responded as he went to sit by Roll, and put his arm around her. "Watcha wanna do?"
"I'd like to hear another story," she replied with a smile.
"Ok," he said as he accessed his bookshelf.

Hey Light
Sorry about not writing for a long time, but I was on a vacation! I got to go with Jena to the beach. We got to play in the sand, and in the water. Mom and Dad said that I could go on January 21, and I didn't have time to tell you before I left.
It was so much fun at the beach. When we got there, the first thing that we did was we went to tell the people in the hotel that we were there. Jena has two brothers who came with us. There were six in total. Her brothers are Johnny and Daniel, but not Daniel Blecker. Daniel Blecker is still in the hospital. Jena has a little brother the same age as little Lan, and that's Daniel. Anysway, we got to the room, and I found out it was a suite. That means that it had two rooms and a bathroom. I got to share a room with Daniel and Johnny. Jena slept in the other room with her parents. She got a bed all to herself. I got to sleep in the big 'recliner' or moving chair. I am so small that I fit with 'room to spare', which means that there was room for me squirm during the night. We ate dinner downstairs and then I got my shot and went to bed.
The next morning, we went to the beach. I spent all day playing in the sand, and I even played a little in the water. It was cold. Johnny caught a crab too. He pulled it out of the water and showed Jena, me, Jena's mom, and Jena's dad. Jena laughed, I scooted away from it, and Jena's parents told him to put it back. I don't like crabs. They hurt. Jena and I built a sand castle so big that I could fit inside. Then I got out and Jena went in. When Jena got out, she knocked one of the walls down. I think that Daniel threw the crab in there. I don't blame her. After that, Jena's mom and dad thought that it was time to go back. We went and took showers and then ate sandwiches for dinner.
On the second day there, I scared everyone, even me. I had an HBD attack. It was scary. We were going to lunch, and Jena said that I just got really pale and fell over. I don't remember it. All I remember was walking, and then feeling funny. Luckily Mrs. Walker had my medicine in her bag, and she was able to give it to me. The next thing I knew, I was laying on the sidewalk with a lot of people around me, and Jena and her family were looking at me with worry on their faces. We then went back to the hotel.
We spent the other 8 days playing on the beach, and then we went back to the hotel. Mrs. Winston wasn't too happy with me. She didn't want me to go, and she found out that I had an HBD attack. She was very mad. She yelled at me and Jena, and gave our parent's a 'very stern talking to', which means she was mean to them in an adult way. I don't think that I will get to go to the playroom anytime soon. She was very mad at me.
When she left, Jena came back to my room with Daniel, Sam, and Cody. The three that didn't go to the beach thought that it was a cool story. They thought that the part where I passed out was exciting. And it kinda was. There were a bunch of people looking at me. They promised that they would bring me something from the playroom tomorrow when they go there. Mrs. Winston is outside my door. Time for my shot.
'Night Light.
Mega closed the journal, walked over to his bookcase, and put it back. "Wow Mega," said Roll when he sat back down, "you passed out at the beach?"
"Yeah, it happened a lot then. I got used to it," he said with a shrug.
"That's amazing," she said as Maylu came into her room.
"Roll, could you do something for me?" she asked
"Sure."
"Could you go to the music store and pick up my sheet music?"
"No problem. See ya Mega," she said as she stood up and logged into the net.
"I'm sorry Mega, but I need that for a recital that I have in a few weeks," Maylu apologized.
"It's ok," he said. "I need to check on Lan and make sure that he did all of his homework. Bye Maylu."
"Goodbye Mega," Maylu said as he logged back into Lan's computer.

Lan had finished his dinner when he got an email. "I'll open it," said Mega from the PET. He opened the email and started to read it.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been contacted due to the sensitive nature of one of my recent products. I have been asked to disclose the secrets of this helpful tool. I have chosen to send the 'decoder', as it was called in the email. I hope that this little tool will help you who it may concern to fully understand how unflawed this custom chip is.
Sincerely,
Miss Jena Alexis Walker
Ps: I could barely write this without laughing! Ttyl!

Mega finished reading the email aloud and took the attachment to his dad's computer. "There's your decoder," he said as he installed the program. "Jena made it into the shape of a ring."
"A decoder ring," said Lan as he watched the program load, "how original."
"Well, at least I have that now. I needed it for research," said Dr. Hikari as he stood up from the table and started towards his computer. He sat down and opened the program. A pop-up popped up.

DID you REALLY think THAT it WOULD be THAT easy?
;P

Lan and Mega started laughing, and Dr. Hikari just shook his head. "Well then, I had better talk to her tomorrow. But it's time for bed."
"Awww, why? It's only 9:33," whined Lan.
"Because you have school in the morning, and you had a big day today," he replied.
"Fine. Goodnight," Lan said as he trudged up the stairs.
"Lan," his father called up the stairs before Lan made it to his room.
"What?"
"I'm going to need to borrow Mega tomorrow."
"Ok Dad," said Mega from the PET.
"Goodnight boys."
"Goodnight," they replied as they entered Lan's room.
MRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMR
"LAN! WAKE UP!" yelled Mega the next morning. Lan's response was falling out of bed.
"What time is it?" he asked as he picked himself up.
"It's 6:50. I just wanted to see if that would work. You need to get to school," Mega replied.
"Remind me why you woke me up this early," Lan said as he walked over to his closet and started to change into his school clothes.
"Because I need to make sure you get to school. Dad's sending me to Houston to get the decoder from Jena," Mega said somewhat annoyed.
"Oh yeah. Well, let's go, I'm ready," said Lan as he took his PET from the charger, said goodbye to his mom as he walked past the kitchen, and started walking to school.

"Jena, you have a new email. It's from Dr. Hikari," said Zemmi as Jena got ready for school.
"What's it say?"
"It says that he's going to send Mega over soon and that you are to give him the decoder," said Zemmi.
"That's it? No reprimanding because of the 'decoder' that we sent him?" asked Jena as she threw her hair into a ponytail and threw her books in her backpack.
"Oh, wait, he says that the ring wasn't funny and that if he were in Houston, he would give you a stern talking too. I think that he didn't like it," Zemmi joked.
"Well, we'd better give him the real thing this time. Any more emails?"
"Yep. This one's from Sam. She says that she's going to be visiting Houston soon, and that our group should do a little get together."
"Ok, email Cody, Dannie, and Howie to tell them to get to Houston A-sap, and email Sam back telling her it's on. We'll tell Hub when he gets here," said Jena as she started downstairs and to her car. "BYE!"
"Bye," said Mrs. Walker. "Have a good day at school."
"Sure thing," she said as she threw her bags in the back seat and drove off.
MRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMR
"Ok Mega, could you give Jena this email?" asked Dr. Hikari as Mega got ready to go to Houston.
"Sure dad. I'm going," said Mega as he got in his car.
"Do you have to take the car?"
"No, but this way is more fun. See ya later dad," Mega said as he drove off.
MRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMRMR
"Wow Lan, you're here early," said Tory as he walked into the classroom.
"Well, Mega had to go to Houston for my dad, and he wanted to make sure that I got here. He doesn't trust me to get here by myself I guess," said Lan from his desk.
"Oh well," said Tory as he sat down. "Dad makes me get here early."
"I'm sorry. I'm usually still asleep at this time," Lan replied.
"I thought that you were usually starting to wake up at this time," said Maylu who had just walked into the room.
"I know, but I'm fighting for those last few minutes of sleep. I hate waking up early," said Lan.
"So Mega went to Houston for the day?" asked Roll from her PET.
"Maybe half a day," said Lan. "Dad has him running an errand, and he might get done early."
"Ok," said Roll as Ms. Mari came into the room.
"Hello everyone. Could you help me move these desks before class?" she asked.
"Sure," they replied as they got to work.
