Chapter 1: Dear Journal
Dear Journal,
Hi, it's me again. I know, I know it has been a week since I last written in you, but can you blame me? I mean, I have to get use to the idea that we are no longer in Aliea, and get use to the idea that we have to act like the Earthlings.
Speaking of acting like Earthlings, Nee-sama came up with the idea that all of us will be using fake names during our time on Earth. Apparently, our real names are not at all common in this place. So, I become 'Midorikawa Ryuuji',Diam becomes 'Miura Hiromu', Pandora is 'Kinki Nozomi' now, Riimu is 'Nanakaze Rimu' (isn't that much different from her Aliea name. Lucky her), Io is 'Io Shuntaro' (this is a new level of unfairness! His name practically does not change at all!), Gringo is 'Omotsuki Sora', Kanon is 'Karoku Satori', Ganimede is 'Kanime Iderou' ('Kanime' sounds a lot like 'Ganime', don't you think?), Gigu is 'Kikuma Shousuke', Coral is 'Sango Yoshirou' (funny enough, I found out his new name 'Sango' means 'Coral' on Earth language), and Gorureo is now 'Goryuu Reo' (another case of unfairness. Goryuu Reo. GoruReo. See what I mean?)
Even Nee-sama has a new name. She calls herself Kira Hitomiko. Wonder why…
Not to mention, it's a pain having to make sure we call each other by our new names instead of our real names now. I will continue to call everyone by their Aliea names in this though.
Anyway, we also have to act like we are living under a foster house (what is 'foster house' anyway? I don't dare to ask Nee-sama this, because she will kill me for sure. After all, I'm the captain of Gemini Storm, aka, the head of the Information Unit, which means she practically expects me to look the answer up myself), with Nee-sama as our caretaker. It's not much to act, really, because we already are like a family from the very beginning, and have been living together under one roof for so long.
But the problem here is: we have to go to school.
According to Nee-sama, to get a better hold of what the life on Earth is like, we have to approach the right target. Teenagers. The future of one country. And, also according to her, what the better way to approach the teenager Earthlings than being ones. So yeah, school…
Of course, Nee-sama, being a kind person she is, decided that we need time to adjust to our new life first before setting out to approach the teenagers. And after a week, she believes we are ready. Today is Sunday, so, according to the information we have managed to gather until now, schools on Earth usually start on Monday. Which means we will go to school tomorrow.
Burn-sama laughed like a hyena (a really funny animal I saw in this 'Lion King' movie two nights ago) when I reported back that we will be going to the Earthlings' form of school to gather more information, the newest ones of them (apparently, teenagers on Earth are the fastest ones to know what is new around the world). He doesn't believe we could blend in with the teenagers here. How rude! We will show him what we are trained to do!
Dear Journal,
Hey, me again. Two days after the last update. I have about half an hour before the report time (it will be 10 pm on Earth while in Aliea will be 8), so I will try to update the recent events as best as I could.
The school we have to go, Raimon Junior High, is quite boring. The subjects they teach there are surprisingly easy you would think I'm telling you a joke. Then again, Nee-sama is not at all impressed when we told her we would top the Earthlings with ease. She said, it was nothing new, considering we Gemini Storm have higher intelligence than most people in Aliea. But, the thing that annoys us is that, we are not allowed to 'show off' (Nee-sama's words, not mine), and have to act like we are in the same level of intelligence as everyone else. Such a bother.
On the side note, their computer security is very poor is unbelievable. It took Riimu only two minutes to hack into their system, and download all the information the school has about its students and its teachers. Seriously, the Earthlings need to store their information in a more organised way. It took Riimu longer than we originally planned to download them all. Fifteen minutes and twenty two seconds! Can you believe it?!
Aside from school, everything else is all well and good. I found this delicious treat called 'ice cream' the other day! It's as cold as the element Diamond Dust possesses, but I doubt their element tastes as good. My favourite one is green tea ice cream, even though the moment Diam saw it, he burst out laughing. I sure know what he found so funny. The ice cream kind of looks like my hairstyle before I changed it to a ponytail. Seriously, it was all back when I was ten, so why couldn't he leave the past be the past!
Okay, enough with the ice cream. Now, to our neighbours. I just found out the Kazemaru family, who lives right opposite us, has a son who also goes to Raimon, and is a year older than me. I met him today while on my way home, and we stopped and talked for a while. Well, a long while. We get along pretty well, even though I did mistake him for a girl at first. Of course, to be fair, he did mistake me for a girl as well, so I guess we are even.
And he is part of Raimon sakka team. Which leads us to the next point: sakka on Earth. No different from back home, really, but instead of using it to complete our missions or as a form of training, they 'play' sakka for 'fun'.
Shocking, isn't it? I didn't know sakka could be considered as a form of entertainment!
Dear Journal,
I'm back. Do you miss me? Of course you don't. After all, if there were someone who wrote on my face about their life as well, I wouldn't miss them either.
So yeah, again with my life on Earth. I was having lunch with the rest of Gemini Storm today when Kazemaru showed up. And he was like: 'Ah, here you are, Midorikawa! Come with me, I have some people I want to introduce you with'. I was kind of reluctant to leave my team, but they told me to just go with Kazemaru and see what he wanted.
He introduced me to the rest of Raimon sakka team. Their captain, Endou Mamoru, acts like he has too much energy to spare (and he sure has a set of lungs, I'm telling you. I stood on one side of the field, and he stood on the other side, and he was like: 'SAKKA YAROUZE, MINNA!' and my ears are still ringing even when I'm home, writing in my journal). Kidou Yuuto, hn, he seems to be a huge fan of Superman or something like that (Superman is this weird film we saw four nights ago. That Superman person/thing/whatever appears to be some sort of alien (I feel insulted), and he. Wears. Underwear. Outside. His. Pants. The heck is wrong with him?! Why can't he just wear his underwear like everyone else?!) At least, while he has the Superman's cloak, Kidou is smart enough to not wear underwear outside his pants like that weirdo.
Speaking of Kidou and 'smart'. Damn, he is sure something. I swear, his intelligence could rival us Gemini Storm!
Kazemaru said he is Raimon strategist. I think it suits him well.
Then, there this guy named Gouenji Shuuya. His element appears to be fire like Burn-sama. But unlike Burn-sama, he is really nice and not at all rude. He doesn't snap at others, and he doesn't interrupt others' sentences.
How two people with the same element can be so different in personality, I wonder…
Mentioning about Burn-sama, I wonder how's thing back home. I just hope Desarm-nii remember to feed Xene. If I find out my beloved cat hasn't been given three meals a day on the daily basis, I will kill Desarm-nii. Slowly and painfully.
Dear Journal,
I finally had a chance to see Raimon's skills in sakka. They are good, better than what I expected. Much better. Now I know why they are selected to participate in the Football Frontier in Japan. Still, I wonder what it is like to play against them. Will it be as good as when I just sit outside and watch?
Kazemaru invited me to stay back after school today to see the team practiced. Gouenji's Fire Tornado is very impressive. Can it get past Desarm-nii's Wormhole?
Speaking of Desarm-nii, I found out he indeed forgot to feed Xene. If it wasn't for Gran-sama, my cat would have been starved! I swear, the first thing I do once we get home would be hunting him down. He knows very well how much I love Xene, yet he dared to let him starve! Unforgivable!
Okay, enough ranting. I have to go now. It's almost ten, and I have report to do. See you later, I guess.
Dear Journal,
I (we) have decided to see the information of every team that will participate in the Football Frontier, because no doubt there will be quite a few strong teams out there that will play against Raimon. Their security system is pretty good though, the Football Frontier's one, that's it. Not that it matters anyway. No Firewalls can stop Gemini Storm from hacking their wanted data!
Dear Journal,
Sorry for not writing for nearly a month. I…kind of misplaced you, and I just recently found you. Under the bed.
I don't even know why you were there in the first place, really. But at least, now I know there's quite a lot of interesting things under there. Like a 10 yen coin. And a piece of crayon. And a sock…
Hey, this one is NOT my sock! DIAM! DID YOU ENTER MY ROOM WITHOUT PERMISSION AGAIN?!
Ehem, sorry about that. It's just, this is not the first time he sneaks into my room while I'm not around! I wonder what the hell is his deal…
…now wait a minute. If he was here, and I found his sock under my bed, along with you under my bed…
DIAM! YOU READ MY JOURNAL AGAIN, DIDN'T YOU?! THAT'S IT! YOU ARE. SO. DEAD!
~ x ~
There we go. The first chapter of 'Aliea Gakuen: Invasion?' (which will be called 'AGI' from now on due to the fact writing 'Aliea Gakuen: Invasion?' take too much time). It took me quite a while to think of how to write about Reize's life on Earth without boring myself to death, and eventually came up with this idea. Yeah, I hope you like it.
Which part of Reize's journal you find the funniest?
Anyway, thank you everyone for reading this story. Please leave a review on your way out. And please stay tuned for more chapter of AGI.
See you later.
