Chapter One: Ulrich's Plan

It was December Break at Kadic Academy. Ulrich Stern was sitting in his dorm with his roommate Odd Della Robia.

"Hey Odd, my Grandparents are coming to visit. They own a house down the street, so I'm gonna stay with them for December Break. I'm gonna try to convince them to let me have you, Yumi, Aelita, and Jeremie over one night. I think maybe tomorrow, because they are going to be out all night." Ulrich explained.

"Sounds fun. I'll bring some music, junk food, and animal entertainment!" Odd said, picking up Kiwi. "Isn't that right, Kiwi?"

"Okay, I'll call up my grandparents." Ulrich replied.

Ulrich grabbed his phone, and dialed his Grandparent's number.

Ring, Ring, Ring

His Grandmother, Rose, picked up.

"Ulrich, is that you?" Rose asked. She was new to cell phones.

"Yes, it's me, Grandma. I was wondering, do you think I can invite four friends over for a sleepover?" Ulrich looked at Odd. "And one pet." He added.

"Sure, Ulrich, how about tommorow, so you guys can have some privacy."

"Sounds great, thanks, bye." Ulrich said, and hung up.

"We're in!" Ulrich said to Odd.

"BANZAI! Party time! Hell yeah!" Odd said, as he high- fived Ulrich.

"Time to invite the guests." Ulrich said, as he reached for his phone.
