AN: Another chapter! I'm really on a roll! And, I've gotten over 500 reviews! That's over 5 times more than I got for my first story! Now to reply to a few reviews and then onto the next chapter!

Hussaria: Hey, some action will be coming up soon, promise! Not in this chapter or the next one, but after that, it's highly likely!

Industrial Fear X: I don't mean to make it sound like everyone hates me. Chances are, I'm just having an off-day and I'm frustrated with myself. Either that or I got a flame. Those usually rile me up a bit. :P

Jlyoko: I'm going to try to write longer chapters, but it's hard when they're journal entries. The length depends on how and what I write... Sometimes I just can't resist writing a cliffie or stopping them where I do! Plus, I can get them out to you guys sooner that way. Don't worry, I'm not offended.

If I didn't reply to your review, don't feel left out. These were the three that I thought needed answering or were topics raised often. I really do love you all! Now, onto the story! As always, read, review, and enjoy!

Saturday, March 10

Only one more day left after today! Not only that, but I went to Nurse Dorothy, and she said my back is healed enough to go back to my normal life! I'm feeling a lot better, and I can even bend all I want and it barely hurts.

We've solved the being away from the factory thing, too. Since Jeremy is teaching with computers, he's going to have a Lyoko scan running constantly, even when he's teaching. Ulrich has full access to all of the P.E. equipment, which includes the bikes. If X.A.N.A. attacks, Jeremy and the two others will pedal to the factory while the last person stays and tries to slow the attack. Because we're all counselors, we get to keep our cell phones, too. The other students have to leave them at school. I'm still a little uneasy about our plan, but it's the best we have.

Now that I can't be around Theo as much, I've been seeing a lot more of the guys. Every day after class, one of them will walk with me and chatter about something. With Odd, it's some prank, and after English, he confided in me about Sam. He said he wants to double date with me sometime because he's nervous about going out with Sam alone. I can still remember most of our conversation...

(AN: Flashback, still recorded in the diary)

"Hey Yumi, can you keep a secret?" Odd asked me, demure for once.

"I would think so," I replied, smiling, "How long have we known about you-know-where and been able to keep it a secret?"

"Sorry, it's just this is important to me, and I don't want Jeremy or Ulrich finding out," Odd said, smiling sheepishly.

"I promise," I said, noting how serious he was.

"Well... I really like Sam," he said quietly, then dropped his voice to a whisper, and I had to lean in to hear him, "I think I lover her."

Was this really Odd? The crazy blond-haired guy I thought would never dedicate himself to a girl this soon. When Ulrich had teased him about it before, Odd had replied with, "Hey, I'm single until proven guilty."

"Yumi? So are you going to help me?" Odd asked, bringing me back to Earth.

"Help you what?" I asked, feeling guilty that I had tuned him out when he needed me.

"Help me by double dating with Sam and me," Odd repeated, his eyes pleading with me.

"Of course," I replied, happy to help Odd for once, "You give us a day and I'm sure Theo would be glad to come." I wasn't so sure about this, but I didn't want to dampen Odd's spirits.

"Not Theo," Odd said quickly.

"Why now?" I asked, surprised by the sudden change.

"I.. uh... I don't think Sam would be as comfortable around him as... uh... she does Ulrich," Odd said, then added quickly, "or Jeremy."

"Um... ok...," I said, knowing that Theo would not like this at all.

"Great, thanks!" Odd exclaimed, displaying an unusual show of affection by hugging me.

(AN: End flashback)

Another change since Saturday is Ulrich and I have been spending most evenings together. Either after classes or after supper he comes to my house, and we either study or we plan strategies for Lyoko. The principal gave him a pass so not even Jim can stop him. The whole thing is almost creepy... it's like my dream from the hospital is coming true. Well, the strategy planning part of it anyway. I hope the Lyoko part of my dream doesn't play out... I'm afraid to go back to Lyoko.

AN: There you go! The next chapter will not be an entry, but it won't be at camp either. It'll be a tidge of fluff since you guys have been demanding it so much. Not too much though, so don't start gagging yet, guys. See you in the next chapter! Please review before you leave, thanks!
