Summery: Sequel to Like Father like Daughter. A collection of diary and journal entries from some of the inhabitants of Mutant Academy. A translation will come with Elphie's entries (since she's now almost seven and still can't write well).
Dear Diary,
We've been teaching Elphaba how to read and write, and it's been quite a challenge. At first she refused to have anything to do with the alphabet charts, but we finally convinced her that she could impress Logan when he got back. So she let us teach her. Logan is the only one that can make her do anything. She's utterly devoted to him. She really hasn't been herself since he left. I don't think she understands why she couldn't go with him. It really ripped Logan apart to leave her, but he doesn't want her to get hurt. She can heal any physical wound, but there are some emotional ones that don't ever heal. Logan has enough of those to last himself the rest of his unnaturally long life, and doesn't want that to happen to Elphaba. On a brighter note, Elphaba has made her first real friend. A young mutant about her age named Corbin came to the mansion looking for shelter, and we took him in. They are so cute together. They look like a mini-couple. But every time anyone mentions it they scrunch up their little noses and "Eww!!" at us. Logan hasn't called back yet, and Elphaba seems very sad, despite her new found friendship with Corbin. Unfortunately for her, a young telepathic student found out about Mystique being her mother and now the entire school knows. She is now known as the "Brotherhood Brat" to most and all of the students. Corbin didn't really care, and he's still her best friend, but most of the other kids still rarely talk to her. She's been very lonely. When Logan gets back he'll have to straighten the entire thing out. I can't wait for him to get back, for more reasons than that. He really helped me out when I had to take over running the school. He tries to make everyone think that he's a heartless tough guy, but that facade fell away when he fell in love with Elphaba, devoting himself to her completely. I will be happy when he gets back, if only to see him dote on Elphaba the way he loves to do. I'll write more tomorrow.
