Odd and Amy were waiting around a corner for Odd's dog, Kiwi, to wake up Coach Jim so he could catch Jeremy spray painting the school wall and earn himself a detention for the whole vacation. Ulrich was helping him out, but he planned on hiding before Jim caught him as well.

The reason they were doing this was so Jeremy could keep an eye on things in Lyoko over the holidays and make sure Xana didn't get up to no good again.

Kiwi's little yips were heard as he ran down the hallway past where the two best friends were hiding with Coach Jim chasing after him.

"Yeah, way to go, Kiwi." Odd whispered out as he and Amy shared a high five.

"Now we wait?" Amy said.

"Now we wait." Odd repeated.

Yumi, Odd, Ulrich and Amy were waiting outside the Principal's office for Jeremy to come out.

The door opened and Principal Delmas gave the bespectacled boy one last scolding before leaving him be.

"What did he say?"

"Well? Tell us."

"How'd it go?"

"So?"

Yumi, Odd, Ulrich and Amy all asked at once.

"He gave me detention for the whole week of vacation." Jeremy replied, pretending to be dissappointed.

It wasn't until they were all out of the office area that they let the act drop.

"Cool. He really let you have it." Odd said.

"As punishments go, you're a champion." Ulrich complimented.

"Couldn't have done better ourlseves." Amy said and Yumi nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, Xana won't get any vacation this time." Jeremy said.

It was after school and the group was walking through the school grounds.

"You get to go and see your parents at the other end of the planet. Yumi's off on a vacation in the mountains, and what do I get? A whole week of math tutoring." Ulrich complained.

"If they think they can make a good student out of you in one week, well, I say good luck to them." Odd said. "It sounds like mission impossible, if you ask me."

"That reminds me, do you have any fun plans for the week of vacation, Amy?" Yumi asked curiously.

"I'll be stuck here studying." Amy said with a sigh.

"I thought your grades were decent?" Odd asked curiously.

"They are, but my Dad's going on vacation with his girlfriend and I don't want be thirdwheeling or anything so he's letting me stay here on the condition that I study." Amy said.

"Yeah, I guess it would be pretty awkward if you did go with them." Ulrich said and Amy nodded with a slight shudder at the thought.

Odd stared at her as he knew that wasn't the full truth, but let it be none the less. Amy and her stepmother-to-be had a very rough relationship and Odd was well aware of that as Amy had told him all about it a few years back. 

The woman would act all sweet and innocent when her father was around, but the moment he left she would turn cold towards her. She wasn't abusive at all, thankfully, but she often expressed her hatred for Amy during the rare few 'conversations' they had.
