Dear Diary: Aliens Suck (A Matt MasonFalling Skies Fanfiction)

by FallingSkiesLuvr

Hi, I'm Matt Mason; son of Tom and the late Rebecca Mason. This whole invasion has put my life in a whirlwind, but most people don't seem to care about my side of the story. So, I decided to make a diary about how I'm feeling and the stuff that's going on around me, including those stupid skitters.

A/N:

Ok, so an idea for this new story popped in my head, and it's a Diary type entry fanfiction instead of a normal story. I may not post each chapter for a few days, I'm writing a bunch of stories at once so please bear with me XD This one is from the perspective of Matt Mason. It will be a shorter story, but I haven't really seen any stories from the perspective of him. I may or may not make Diaries for some more FS characters, it depends how well people like this one :)

Dear Diary,

It is currently New Year's Eve night, or at least that's what Anne tells me. I'm not sure about what day it is or how many days it has been since the aliens invaded a few months ago. My dad, Tom, wanted to celebrate and try to "keep up the morale of the citizens of the 2nd Mass.", but Weaver won't let him. He said that right now we need to focus on getting the soldiers trained, but I think that Weaver just hates my dad.

Every since Weaver came in command and my dad was his 2nd hand man, they've been butting heads. Everything from where the civilians should sleep, to how the fighters are treated better. I don't really understand it, why don't they just like rock-paper-scissors over it or something?

I'm currently sitting out on a hill behind the camp, it's nice and quiet here and gives me time to think. Hal, my oldest brother, thinks I'm just a dumb little kid, but I have good ideas and smart thoughts too. Probably more than him, hehe.

Ben never treated me like that, though. I miss him a lot. Stupid aliens and their stupid harnesses! They took away the one person in my family who understood how it feels to be young. Ben told me Hal was too busy trying to be older instead of acting his age, so he doesn't understand like Ben does. Ben treats me like his equal; he teaches me life lessons and helps me get through the daily troubles that comes with being an 11 year old kid.

Even though I'm not 100% sure if it's New Years Eve, but if it is, than my resolutions are to:

1) Be nicer to Hal (even though he's a jerk sometimes)

2) Become a fighter (no matter how much my dad doesn't want me to)

I hear someone coming, so I have to finish this up fast.

and 3) If we find Ben, I'm going to tell him how much I love him (I've never really been one to express my feelings)

Bye, Diary

Write in you later :)

~Matt
