Um… My teacher told us to write a diary for an assignment in class. Well first of all, I'm going to call this a journal cause it sounds cooler and second I have no idea what to write in this thing! ...Okay, I checked my homework notes and it says to talk about the world, my family, my friends, and myself. Okaaaay… My name is Guntz. I turned 12 in January. I am a black and gold wolf and I always seem to find myself in a red jacket and grey pants. Um… My family next, I have a little eight-year-old brother named Klonoa. He takes after our mom in looking like a black and white cabit. We live with our Grandpa, another cabit, since our dad is always on digs and our mom passed away when Klonoa was 1. Our dad, his name is Butz, is a wolf like me. Actually now that I think about it I look like a clone of my dad and Klonoa looks like our mom. The only difference is that I got Mom's eye color and Klonoa got Dad's. Anyway, back to Dad. Dad is an archeologist. He and his partner Pango, or "Uncle Pango" as he wants us to call him, are some of the best in their field of research. They have found a lot of cool things at their digs. He always brings cool things back as gifts for us. He actually comes home tomorrow from the ruins of the moon. Wonder what he found… Next, my friends, well there's Lolo, Leorina, Boris, and Chipple. Lolo and Leorina are sisters, who look like photo negatives of each other. Boris is actually Pango's son and my next-door neighbor. Since our dads work together they figured it'd be better to live close to each other. And Chipple has been a good friend of ours since Klonoa and I stood up to some bullies who were picking on him. We all grew up together, so we know each other like the back of our hands. So if you're in town and you need a team who works well together look no further than us. Okay, what's left…? Oh yeah, world events. Well, I live in Breezegale, which is pretty cut off from most of the world so I don't know much. But I did hear a rumor from a traveler the something big was going to happen soon. I would have asked what he meant by that, but he was probably too drunk to tell me much more. Okay, I think I'm done. Wow, for someone who didn't know what to write, I sure wrote a lot. Bye now.
Finally finished with my homework. Almost 7:00? Wow, I almost never take this long with homework. Guess I should have taken Boris's offer to tutor me in science.
"Hey, Guntz?"
"What's up Klo?"
"Grandpa and I are going to watch a movie. We wanted to know if you were done with your homework so you could watch it with us."
"I just finished. Give me a sec to put my stuff away and I'll come downstairs."
"Awesome!"
Klonoa can be so cute when he's happy. It's almost infectious. Ever since Mom died Grandpa and I have kind of worked together to raise Klonoa, so he can have his childhood. Because of this I had to grow up quick, but I don't mind. When Klonoa was born I remember holding him. He looked so small and vulnerable. Then and there I promised that I would protect him. So far I've kept my word. For the rest of the night the three of us watched movies, played game and basically had fun. When the topic of Dad came round we found out Klonoa had forgotten. It's bad enough when he finds out Dad was coming home in a week, but tomorrow? He was practically bouncing off the walls. When we went to bed, we were exhausted. Somehow I have this feeling tomorrow was going to be a long day.
