Reflections of WOTO: Paula's Story
(The last of the reflections series. This one may be longer than the others, knowing how some girls tend to write in their diaries a lot, which has part to do with why I saved this one for last.)
June 9, 1995 - "My life, the hamster cage..."
I no longer feel so young and innocent after the recent events. I had been kidnapped, rescued, randomly beat up by weird creatures, as well as did my fair share of clobbering things. The recent adventure I became part of was one of the most life-changing events I ever had. The fight was Giygas felt like a living nightmare. I was apalled by the Devil's Machine, as Pokey calls it, but if I hadn't been a robot at the time, I might have fainted at the sight of Giygas. I don't know if it was just the fact I was a robot, but I felt a strange sensation to begin calling for help, especially after Pokey came back and taunted us about crying for help. What a stupid kid. He just revealed to me the answer, or so I hoped, so I kneeled down and began to beg and pray for my life, our lives, and that of the planet's lives. I seemed to get through. I saw visions of the Runaway Five, my own family, Jeff's friends at the boarding school, two girls who knew Poo in Dalaam, Ness's own family, and finally... I didn't understand why, but the last person who prayed... she seemed so familar... I could swear I recognized her voice, but it was too late to think... all the praying caused Giygas to go mad and he died in throughs of Static and energy. Next thing I knew, I was back in my old body, as was everyone else. I asked Ness to escort me home, and he agreed, and we part from Jeff and Poo, who had their own matters to handle. I wished them all luck, and Ness and I returned home. When we got to my house, I forgotten a very important thing I needed to tell him. I was so forgetful, I could slap myself, but I said I'd tell him next time we talk. I said hello to everyone, my parents, the kids at the preschool, and then came up to write this out to you. I'm now going to bed, and I'll write later.
August 1, 1995 - "Shaky"
Again, I feel like my life is a salad bowl. I had a strange vision of myself as a little girl, and I was in Onett, and I rarely ever went there as a child. The strange thing was, I saw a burning building, but I shrugged it off as a mere daydream. In other news, I finally told Ness what I had to say, and he wasn't that surprised. I can see we're getting close. I called up Poo and talked to him yesterday, and he said things had been great in Dalaam, except for some small quibbles between a few crazed girls there. I swear the girls in Dalaam would fall for many young guys it isn't funny. I was surprised some didn't try and cling onto Ness when we were there a few times. I heard nothing from Jeff, though.
August 20, 1995 - "Life is good."
I loved yesterday so much. Ness and I went to a Runaway Five performance in Summers, alone, like the first time we saw a show. Needless to say, not having to worry about saving the world while your at it made the experience well worth it. After that, we got a Pizza and some burgers and fries. Needless to say, I was a bit of a pig, but again, it felt worth it. Ness is a vital part of my life, as well as that of the rest of us. If it weren't for him, I'd be a hypnotized priestess of Happy Happyism, Jeff and Poo would've not been able to fight off Giygas without us. I think we're almost close enough to consider it a relationship, although I'm only about 15 and he's just turned 14 himself. Sometimes, I felt like a mother to the others, being the only girl there. I'm off to rest now. I'll write later...
November 17, 1995 - "Haunted Visions."
Why must the world torture poor little me? My life is once again turning into a tossed salad. I just had one doozy of a dream last week. Twoson had been in a despicable state of health. I saw people dying from diesase and sickness. I didn't understand why I didn't feel the same why. I even saw some dead bodies, flies swarming around them. If I weren't asleep, I'd probably would've thrown up at the site. Suddenly I felt something hit me in the back, and I fell to my knees, dizzy and hurting. I turned around and saw a shadow of a mounted creature, and it was laughing, right at me. I was so dizzy I could only stare, dumbfounded and helpless, but then... I finally woke up. I don't really understand it. I didn't even feel like anything related to Giygas, but it seemed so much like it actually happened...
Fabruary 21, 1996 - "Training"
I had yet another dream, similar to the last one, except it was happening in Onett. I heard that same laughter, that same wickness, and felt that same plauge and pain. I awoke, unable to sleep the rest of the night. I had been training my powers a little north of the city. I had bought some items to keep me well nourished, but I quickly felt that Ness was close. He might have seen me doing something, and I'm probably starting to worry him with this stuff. Life is so unpredictable.
September 8, 1996 - "More Training, Less Problems"
My training seems to be getting my mind off those nightmares, as they began to lower in occurance, and then finally disappeared entirly. I and Ness are still seeing each other, and talking, and he doesn't seem so worries about me now. I can see it in his eyes. As for training, I learned how to spread my freeze power at multiple targets, but I'm only a newbie at it, but I seem to be strengthing my other powers well. I even excerised my body itself a little bit, so I punch a bit better, but it wouldn't have been much of an advantage back during my adventure either, however I am much faster, and I'm feeling a little more comfortable with using my feet to attack, which seem to be much better than my frying pans ever were, although I always keep at least one at my side, if the situation should rise. The last 2 years have transformed me from a careful, innocent girl, into a part PSI warrior, as Poo would call it. Yes, I did talk with him about my visions, and my training, and he says he feels something is wrong too, but it seems to be more related to himself.
March 26, 1997 - "Back, and worse than ever."
My visions are coming back with a great vengance. I keep seeing more cities in the world, even ones I've never been to, withering and dying away as if under a world wide famine. I also had another vision about my 'childhood'. I was again in Onett, and it was mostly in flames, something I still don't understand, but I also saw a weird creature. I was unable to indentify it, but I somehow could tell it had to do with the problems. I keep training, and now have developed my super freeze power to stronger levels, and learned a new move, calling forth dynamos from the skys, even though they're particularly weak ones. I feel like the recent months had been the calm before the storm...
June 13, 1997 - "The Ultimate Problem." (This part is writting during Chapter 3 of EB Stars)
Forgive me for being in great haste, as I have little time to write this. At this very moment, I have just become involved on another great adventure, and Ness, and some white cat are my only other allies at the time. I also met this demon-type creature, who told me I fought his master when I was younger, but I don't recall ever doing such a thing, although it might relate to the strange visions of my childhood. The white cat calls himself Artemis, and claims a being called Korax longs to absorb magic from the planet, to revive a greater power than him, and according to Artemis, Giygas is one of Korax's helpers. Ness explained a strange dream to me, explaining Pokey and Giygas have come back to hinder us. Maybe Korax is after us, realizing we're among the strongest people on the planet. Wish us all luck, and also to those who may join us soon, as we may, or may never come back...
(I finally finished it. I might be considering unleashing one more "Reflections", but for an entirely new character, so be on the lookout for that, and more chapters of Stars.)
