Mustang's Oregon Trail Journal
MattsyKun: I don't own the Oregon Trail, I just have a copy of The Oregon Trail 2. I also don't own FMA or Kaminari, because Kaminari is my friend's character. She is a State Alchemist and also Jean Havoc's 18 year old sister. Melody is my character. She's also a state alchemist and is Roy's 15 year old sister. She's a flame alchemist like her brother. Gasp gasp… that's a lot.
Roy: Why did you start this?
MattsyKun: because the last three times I played you died. Edward died the day you started out on one, on another you and Riza died on the same day. I thought it would be funny to do journal on Roy's adventures on the Oregon Trail. This last time you got a really high score! And nobody died! Everyone was at perfect health! That's a new record for me!
Roy: Must you insist on torturing me? (Chibi)
MattsyKun: yes. Aww, you're chibi! (GLOMP)
(When words are italicized, that means Roy wrote them in the journal. Everybody else just so happens to be reading it.)
April 30, 1848
Here begins the journal of Roy, formerly a banker. Tomorrow we leave Kanesville behind to begin our journey west to Rogue River Valley. We must still purchase the supplies that our Conestoga wagon will hold to sustain us during our long trek.
I hope that my skill in commerce/trade will prove of some value.

Melody came down with cholera. We've got to administer laudanum.
NOOO! MY DEAR LITTLE SISTER HAS CHOLERA! I will treat her to the best of my ability! I can't allow my little sister to die, you know. She has powers of alchemy that are beyond knowledge. She knows a lot of things and she won't tell me some of them. (Pouts) I think she knows of a way to transmute humans, but it's a fuzzy concept and their souls would be grafted into animals... or something like that I can't remember her long, boring lectures. I wonder if I sound like that sometimes...enough rambling, I need to take care of my baby sister.
"I AM NOT A BABY!" Melody shouted, much to the surprise of everybody.
May 22, 1848
Approached Loup River today. Some people in our wagon train are very tired of the journey.

May 24, 1848

Oh, great, now short stuff has suffered a concussion... I shouldn't say minimizing words, or he'll become too active and kill himself. juuuust great... I can't tease him for a little while. waah.

"Fine. Meanie Nii-san." Melody muttered under her breath.

The wagon got stuck in the mud. Had to double-team the animals.
December 25, 1848 (Merry X-Mas!)
Passed Emigrant Creek.
Man, if Jean hadn't drowned...
"Shut up! I'm not a very good swimmer!" Havoc complained.
Maybe that's why you can't get a girl...
"Shut up!"
Merry Christmas!

We got caught in a blizzard. I reckon we'll continue as usual.

The wagon train has become snowbound. We're going to try to continue as usual.
The weather turned very cold, and I decided to continue as usual.
... Why, mother nature? I'll just incinerate us out! (Snaps fingers)

Arrived today at the Rogue River Valley!! At last we have reached our destination! Truly this is the land of opportunity!
oh... my god... we made it! One day before the New Year! We may have no food and it may be snowing, but we made it, gang!
"Yay!" Melody and Kaminari cheered, hugging each other. Riza glomped onto Roy, and Havoc and Edward grinned from ear to ear.
We're settling here for the New Year!
"… you're rhyming again, Roy." Riza said.
Why do I keep doing that?
"I don't know, sir." Riza said, shaking her head.

In 1848, Roy built a home on 347 acres of land in the Rogue River Valley of Oregon.
After several years of only moderate success on the farm, Roy decided to move to the growing population center of Medford, establishing a small business that proved more stable and satisfying.
Major financial and personal losses occurred during the Modoc War of 1872–73, but Roy was able to recover and in later years became a potent force in state business and politics.
I got this from Yugioh Abridged (don't own). Go onto and watch it. Funny! Basically the scene went like this:
Yami: Does anyone actually believe this is Kaiba's Ghost?
Tristan: I do!
Yami: Anyone besides Tristan?
Tristan: I do!
Yami: it's some sort of… gay clown. (or something like that, I remember gay and clown.)
I got this from one of the Inuyasha movies. Miroku gets flattened by a rock thrown by Sango. I found it very funny.
Itachi quote! "Foolish Little Brother." By the way, I don't own Yugioh, Naruto, FMA, or Inuyasha. I wish I did. But I don't.
MattsyKun: That was fun, don't you agree?
Mustang Gang (which is what I labeled the game as): (are all on the ground completely wiped out)
MattsyKun: You'll all be okay. Next I'm doing Short Stuff's Oregon Trail Journal!
Ed: DON'T CALL ME SHORT!
MattsyKun: sorry, Edward-kun! (glomp) I love you!
Ed: O.o
