Okay, just to clear things up: This fic isn't ExR, although it may seem like it at first. It's ExJ fluff, and don't you forget it! I already have Dragons of Oban and a fic explaining my OC's to work on, so don't expect me to update a lot.

Disclaimer: Again, I don't own any of the copyrighted stuff here. I'm not stealing, so get off my back.

Prologue: Dear Diary

---

Dear Diary,

Things around here haven't been the same. I'm not at boarding school (thankfully, my dad wasn't about to let me go there any time soon), Dad and I live together again, and it's been really empty around here with out Rick, Stan, Koji…or him. He's been the Avatar for two months now. I wonder what he's doing up there. Yes, I do find a few things going on that seem to happen without me or Dad causing them. Like, every week a new plant grows in this pot I have on my windowsill in my room; regardless of where it's supposed to grow. This week, it's an aloe vera plant, probably because I accidentally burned my hand on the stove. I've been using the juice from it on the burn, even though we have some gel that supposedly works better. It's weird. When you cut an aloe plant, some rubbery stuff forms on it the slit and it heals in a few seconds. Freaky. But I've somewhat gotten used to it, although I never will be completely. I guess the way things are going in this life are a lot like that aloe plant.

Eva put her pen down and sighed. She was supposed to be studying for end-of-year exams, but couldn't seem to concentrate. What she wrote in her diary was true; it always was. But she still missed her old team. Her father hadn't let her go within fifty miles (okay, 25) of a Star-Racer after they had returned to Earth, and still disapproved of her interest in mechanics and racing. Eva secretly ordered a Star-Racing periodical and did her best to keep up with the latest events in the racing community. Her friends were agents for her and told her the latest news. Summer vacation was coming up, actually it was one week away, and her father had promised her they would visit Stan and Koji for a few weeks. Of course, Jordan was out of the picture by now; Don Wei never talked about him and none of Eva's friends knew him like she had. She sighed again.

So, How'd ya like my fic? It get's really tragic later, that's why one of the genres is Drama. -V D of O
