PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

So I guess the family who was supposed to adopt my baby really isn't going to show up.

If they even exist. I hope they don't

So, I guess this is when I ask for name suggestions? I never thought I'd end up naming him...

Any ideas...it's a boy by the way.

I feel like such an idiot for asking like this.

Oh great.

Television turns your mind to mush.

He's real. He's real. He's real. He's not just a dream. He's real.

He's right there.

I don't feel so good.

Leia.. Jaina. Be careful, okay? Please?

My car still doesn't fly -

WELCOME TO 2005

Whatever this New Year's thing is, I think it's just an excuse for grown-ups to get together and act silly. There's a whole lot of shouting and dancing and drinking going on in the program on the 'vid. How come there en't something like that for people my age? Not the drinking thing, cause that's bad, but just an excuse to go out and yell in the streets or something?

En't like a new year's all that important, anyhow. They're happening all the time.

Miss Mikaela, I been looking up stuff about your vehicle, the F-class Fords? I'm pretty sure I could make an approximation of the part if you don't want to spend money on a new part. Core knows it sure seems expensive, if I got this dollar-to-credit conversion thing figured out. I en't sure I have, but it still seems fairly expensive for a gas-powered vehicle.

I'm kind of sleepy. The dreams are still pretty ugly, so I en't been sleeping like I should, I guess. Stupid dreams. Always that same guy, too. He's pretty scary. I don't like what he says.

I don't suppose anyone knows where to get a cylinder head gasket for a '98 Ford F150 for less than a hundred and a half?

In other news, somebody feel up to stopping a pair of scaly, demonic-looking creatures? They seem to think their purpose in life is convincing me to leave my apartment at night so they can raid the shop beneath it. No violence, yet, but it's making going anywhere between sunset and sunrise a real pain.

Mr Angel, are you and Miss Cordelia married? Me and Leslie wanted to know.

How come grown-ups are so dumb?

I have to say, LA is significantly wackier than anyone or anything at Stanford.

I think Britney Spears hit on me in Starbucks this morning.

Ummm.

Sorry about the zoo.



Aang? Leslie? Sorry I haven't said anything. I guess we've been pretty busy.. Everything is okay, though?



Jaina, you got a brother here? I dreamed about him. It was weird.

I can't sleep. Bad dreams.

Well, this is definitely new. Anybody want to explain what happened to this place? I definitely didn't hear anything about it back home.

Just out of curiosity, does anything happen around here for Christmas?

It's kind of weird, having a mom and dad. Especially since my dad's been around all along and I didn't know. But neither did he, so it's okay, I guess. I'm really glad, though. I always got really jealous when I went to visit Biggs or Fixer and met their parents. They were really nice. And they always hugged me before I left. Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru never hugged me much. I guess maybe because they're my uncle and aunt and not my mom and dad, because Mom hugs me all the time.

Not that I want to be hugged or anything. That's for babies.


I met a prince. Sort of. Over this network thing. He seems nice. He's kind of old, though. Older than me, at least.

Oh! I want to go to the beach, too! I've never been to one! I've seen pictures, though, and that's a whole lot of water, too. And I want to learn to swim. I'll bet I could.



I've already took everything apart. I thought about maybe taking this computer apart, too, but if Mom needs it, I don't want it to be in pieces or anything. I wonder if Dad would let me take apart his lightsaber.

Oh, the chaos. Ahhh, so good to have it back. Makes things much more interesting, if I do say so myself.

I would remark upon this era not being so bad after all, but not only is that too cliché - when I think about what's to come for this hell hole of a city? It makes me fantasize about a dream vacation in fluidic space.

Suffice it to say: good luck! Ha! I'll be sitting on the sidelines over yonder watching in vague amusement as I scarf down that delicious treat you all call popcorn.

Wow! This place isn't like Tatooine at all! There's so much water! What do people do with it all?

Lots of water, but the vid is 2D. Even we had a holovid. Sort of. I had to fix it a lot, cause it messed up about once a week, and the colour was monochromatic, but it weren't so bad.

Mom says I shouldn't talk to people I don't know. That sure don't leave me with many people. Maybe it'll be okay like this. .. I kind of wish Biggs was here, though.

I would like for someone to explain to me, please, how it is that I got led from Forks all the way to Los Angeles. And, furthermore, how, somewhere along the line, I managed to miss the fact that the trail I was following was headed east...not south. And, in addition to this, how I managed to miss that Bella has been missing for a few weeks.

So now my job is to find Bella and... Has anyone seen a girl about five feet or so...walking disaster, gets in a lot of trouble? She's a monster magnet? Goes by Bella?

What in the blazes--where am I!? Where is--Luke, why do you feel...off? Where are you? Where is this?

Oh, damn it all. just my luck

Wow, seems like some things never change. Or LA never changes at least. Man you guys are lucky The Pride no longer exists. Things would be a hundred times worse if they did!

I'm Sister Grimm Nico Minoru, and why I bothered returning here I have no idea.

He's a very good liar.
