So I decided to start up again! Hopefully the twists and turns of this half of the story aren't too bad, or just plain mean. I also decided to do it from a different point of view, since I write Matt way too much.

Let's go on another adventure of mind, body, and soul!

~Flight.

Dear Journal,

We went shopping today! Dad let me pick out a brand new teddy bear! It was fun. When we were passing the candy shop, Dad shook his head at me. So, no candy today. But he did pick me up! Things were almost… Normal now. I mean sure, we never stay in the same part of New York for more than a few months, but it's a really cool way to see New York! We sometimes visit Mello in prison. I like to visit Mrs. Jeevas' grave and tell her about what we've been up to. Dad says she couldn't hear me, but I like to think that she sits next to me when I visit. We live a couple blocks from the graveyard right now. Dad says we're moving out of the state soon, so I won't be able to visit her anymore. Oh! Matt adopted me! There were a lot of papers and stuff, but once he dealt with them, he said that I was his daughter! So I guess I should be calling Mrs. Jeevas Gramma… Oh well! Dad let me pick my new name though, which was super fun! I picked Fae, which means Fairy or magical creature! Daddy also just got his driver's license because his eyes have started to heal finally! Which means we can start driving again, rather than take a bunch of buses, because they always smell funny and are full of icky looking hobos.

I'll write more tomorrow, right now I gotta pack!

"Fae, get down here and help me pack, darlin'!"

I raced down the stairs to help pack. We didn't have much, just a couple sleeping bags and two suitcases full of clothes. Only stuff we could carry easily. I packed up all of my books (I only had one or two, which I knew by heart) in my backpack. Dad handed me a small present. It looked like a book.

"Happy birthday!"

I pulled a corner of the wrapping paper. I peeked inside. I opened the rest of it. It was a copy of Sherlock Holmes. I jumped up and down and hugged Dad.

"Thank you!"

"I knew you'd like it. You can read it in the car, okay darlin?"

I nodded and ran upstairs, slipping my new book into my backpack. I grabbed my journal off the floor and snatched my sleeping bag and pillow. I came running back and folded the sleeping bag up really small. I stuffed it into Dad's suitcase and slipped my tiny pillow into my backpack. Dad took my hand and we walked out of the house we'd been renting for a while.

"Why do we have to keep moving, daddy?"

"I don't know, darlin. I don't know."

"Where are we going this time?"

"I thought it would be fun to visit Clubs and Sharp."

I squealed and we put the suitcases into the trunk. I climbed into the front seat of the blue smart car and we started driving. We never took planes. Dad said they were too easy to follow. I knew we were going to be in the car for a while, but I didn't mind. Whenever we visited Flip and Turntable, we were in the car for days. Dad normally laid my sleeping bag on my seat, but I was too jumpy and he couldn't. I opened my journal and started writing.

Dear Journal,

Oh boy! We get to visit Clubs and Sharp! Oklahoma, here we come! I can't wait! I'm really tired, so I'm going to go to sleep soon, but right now I'm too excited! Daddy says that it won't be as long a drive as it is to visit Flip and Turntable, but maybe we'll stop at some fun places along the way. Dad said that we can't take a plane this time, but maybe we can take one another time. I've never flown before… Dad says it's a little scary at first but he got used to it pretty quickly.

Dad also said we can call Clubs and Sharp later.

I'm gonna hold him to it!

-Fae

I yawned and Dad pulled over. He grabbed my sleeping bag out of the suitcase and put me into it. I started falling asleep. Dad put me back into the car and buckled me in, sleeping bag and all. We started driving again. I watched the sky fly by.

"Dad, how long does it take to drive to Oklahoma?"

"A long time, honey. Why don't you take a nap?"

I nodded and curled up inside the sleeping bag. I fell asleep really quickly and didn't bother waking up when Dad pulled over so that he could sleep too. When I woke up it was really bright outside. We were almost out of New York.

"Daddy, where are we?"

"Almost in Pennsylvania. Are you hungry?"

We stopped at a rest stop and got food. We split up to go to the bathroom and got back in the car. I read some of Sherlock Holmes, then some of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and finished up reading Matilda. I put my books back in my backpack and fell asleep again. I heard Dad pull over and take a nap too. When I woke up, he was still asleep. The clock in the car read 5:54 AM, and the GPS said we were in some place called Cleveland. Dad woke up and drove to a rest stop. We had to push the car into the gas part. I ran to the bathroom and got some snacks. Dad was filling the tank. I got in the car and ate a couple chips. Dad ate some of them too.

"Daddy, where's Cleveland?"

"Northern Ohio. You can go back to sleep again, honey, if you want."

I fell asleep again and woke up somewhere near St Louis. Dad was driving. He had recently pulled over, judging by the look of his hair. I finished Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and fell asleep somewhere around Springfield. I woke up in Tulsa. I read more Sherlock Holmes. I fell asleep in Okmulgee and woke up in Wewoka. Dad stopped and helped me out of the car. We ate breakfast at a diner, got back in the car, and kept driving until we made it to Oklahoma City.
