Date: uuummm… to tell you the truth, I don't have a clue!

Dear Geraldine (Yes, I know that's a stupid name for a diary but I was bored with calling it diary!)

Today was a NIGHTMARE! Literally! I thought it had been until I woke up, looked around and thought to myself…OK…why in Commander Root's name am I in the hospital department? It turned out my dream had been real and I was cooped up in bed with a stiff back and a bandaged up wing.

I suppose there were a couple of good points. For one, Holly disobeyed her orders for me. He he! Maybe there is hope for us after all! And the gals at the hospital department thought I was really brave. The Chix man always gets the ladies!! (If you can't see me, I'm grinning widely!)

Anyway, you'll probably want the whole story of my unfortunate accident, where I laughed in the face of death! Well…I kinda sniggered a bit while he wasn't looking… Anyway…the story! Yes, well. It started when Holly and me were on duty, hanging in that stupid pod, me wooing her something silly. She told me to do a scan thingy, which I suppose was to keep herself leaping onto me. Women do that to me…they just can't resist! Well, of course I obliged because for one it involved flying and two this was my chance to impress Holly.

We went through the usual procedure and I was just heading back when I saw something move in a bush nearby. I thought this is it! My chance to impress Holly! I mustn't blow it. And you can guess what happened, I blew it! Holly told me to stay where I was and told me some other stuff I didn't really catch. Then she started shouting at me to pull up. What is her problem! I would have been all right. She distracted me! Really! Well, I think what happened next was that the Grey foil-wrapped figures shot at me! I felt a searing pain in my wing and I span out of control. The ground was hard I can tell you. When I opened my eyes again Holly was there over me. She looked worried. Bullets hailed everywhere. I had to say something to her, so I said the first things that came to my head:

"You came for me cap. I knew you would!"

"Of course I came for you Chix, never leave a man behind!" I'll never forget those words, NEVER!

"I knew you couldn't resist me, I knew it!" Not the best choice of words now I come to think of it, I'll be lucky if she'll speak to me again. After that I fainted. I felt delicate hands on my wing. It stung for a moment but it soon started feeling better. I felt like jumping up and doing a little jig. The pain slowly went and for a moment I felt pleased and reassured that Holly was there with me, like a guardian angel. Then I realised that with an injury I had just received I wouldn't fly again. D'arvit. My last thought before I slipped into a long sleep full of, um, thoughts of me flying…yes that's it, flying!

Now I'm in the Hospital department, female nurses reacting to my every need!

My last few words before I finish of are words of thanks and gratitude to my female captain, Miss Holly Short. Well, if she ever reads this, which I doubt, I hope she takes this next paragraph seriously.

I LOVE HER!! Why won't she love me back? I wish she could see the real me and my real feelings towards her. She may think I'm only kidding but I'm not. I really do care for her. And I can prove it. Just give me a life-threatening situation and I'll risk my life for her, will that prove to her I care?

Ok, ok… a bit too much emotion I think. But it's all true.

Well…see ya tomorrows Geraldine.
