The characters are not mine, and the concept is from an episode of the Simpsons where Milhouse asks Alan Moore to sign his copy of "Watchmen Babies in V for Vacation." Enjoy!

Rorschach's Journal. August 12, 1946. 1:00 PM: Mother desperate to get rid of me for awhile. Agreed to let Ms. Jupiter take me to the beach with her daughter and some of her friends from school. Know these people- they're like me. Fight for what is right, no matter what. Take out bullies and thieves, making sure that the lunch aides always catch them. Well, almost always. Sometimes take things into our own hands, get them suspended ourselves. Once got someone expelled. Stole a doll and let his dog tear it apart- couldn't let him get away with it.

Rorschach's Journal. August 12, 1946. 6:30 PM: Found smiley face pin in hotel parking lot. Recognised immediately as Comedian's. Never seen him without it. Something's wrong. Overhear people talking; saying kid has been sent home for misbehaving, saying it's a shame. Determined to find out who ratted him out.

First go to Comedian's room. Found superhero underoos in closet. Definitely didn't pack for himself, most likely was forced out. Visit Dan. Disagrees that maybe Laurie's Uncle Hollis got fed up with the Comedian. Hear that Hollis used to babysit for him, and that he always went out of his way to annoy him. Need to look into lead further. Go sit on hotel balcony to think. On Friday night, a Comedian was sent home from Florida. Somebody knows why. Down there… somebody knows.

Go to see Adrian. He gets the best grades in our whole class, maybe he knows things I can't figure out. Tell him ideas about someone getting rid of kids who wear masks. Adults say we're creepy, sometimes even say we have personality disorders. Always trying to get rid of us. Even made a rule saying we can't wear masks in public. Refuse to obey the rule. Doesn't think so, says Comedian annoyed enough adults that one probably just snapped. Get mad and tell him that he's a sell-out for letting his mom put him in a cereal commercial. Now everybody knows who he is, cause he had to wear his cape in the ad. Don't think that was a good idea. Forced his retirement from fighting bullies. Decide Adrian isn't helpful and go to find Jon and Laurie.

Jon and Laurie get to share a room because her mom has to keep an eye on him. Something to do with him being blue and dangerous, think it's really because Laurie is his girlfriend. Heard that they even held hands. Don't have time for a girlfriend. My hands are for fighting crime, not holding. Jon doesn't seem too worried, says that being on vacation at home is the same as being on vacation here, and that there's no reason to worry. Laurie doesn't want to talk about it. Once her mom was babysitting the Comedian, and he threw a tantrum and hit her. Uncle Hollis had to come yell at him. Says he's a bad boy and deserved to get sent home. Still no answers about who did it, though. Jon makes me go away, and then suddenly I'm in the hallway. Must be a blue guy thing.

Rorschach's Journal. August 12, 1946. 8:00 PM. Bedtime. Can't stop thinking about what happened today. Our second day of vacation, and already we might need to go solve another crime. Am upset by everybody else. A Comedian had to go home tonight. He was put in a car and strapped in, then driven hundreds of miles away. Nobody cares. Nobody cares but me.

Laurie was getting sick of being stuck in the room with Jon, but her mom had told them that he would scare people if he went outside, and she didn't want to leave her boyfriend. She's told everybody on the playground that when she grew up she wanted to marry Jon, and couldn't back out now. Besides, those men who usually took care of him would be angry if they heard that she'd made Jon sad. After what seemed like years of sitting in the room and playing solitaire, she decided to go see if Dan wanted to go get hamburgers from the grill. Jon decided to stay behind and play with his "My First Nuclear Physics Set."

Dan was fun to hang out with, and he really seemed to understand her problems. Like when she told him about the bikini her mom had brought for her to wear to the pool, he'd agreed that it was probably a good thing that they weren't allowed to go swimming today. Plus, they could talk about funny people they'd met, and even joke about their friends. She found that she really liked being with him, and wondered if she could have two boyfriends.
