Dear Diary,

My first day of school was horribol. You may notice the bold smuge marks from my crying. Hang on.

I just went to dry my eyes. I can't write with bold smuges all over my paper. It is extremely diffiuclt to continue without worrying about smudgemarks. Well, from the minute me and Luna-P walked into the classroom I knew there would be trouble. The first thing I learned in my new Kindergarten class was that, like in the future, no one had flying balls. Everyone laughed at my poor Luna-P, making remarks such as: "that thing is stupid!" "Probably a lot dumber than an elephant!" "Floating creatures shouldn't be allowed at school!" And then I heard "look! She's even a Pheonix Head like that girl in my older sisters class is a Meatball Head! What a dumb hair-do! I sat down and started to cry. Ms. Jackobson, the teacher, scolded the class harshly and then knelt down by my side.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" She asked me.

"I hate you all for teasing me! I though teachers were supposed to help students with etiquite! I HATE YOU!" I couldn't beleive what I had said. I started to cry even harder, and the teardrops fell harder. Then I felt a hand under my chin. It wasn't Ms. Jackobson though, it was a girl that I learned later was Melissa. She gently lifted my chin and said, "You'll be okay!" She smiled at me gently. I jumped up and sniffled, holding out my hand.

"My name is Rini, and I don't hate YOU." I had barely whispered, but she, obviously a good listener, heard me and understood my sadness. I knew her family had raised her in quite an etiquite way by the knot on her head. I sniffled once more and continued to hold my weakening arm in the air. Melissa stood with a smile ands shook my hand, introducing herself.

"I am MELISSA!" She laughed, using the same e-nounce-e-a-sh-un. (I can't spell it, so I sound it out like that.) The teacher moved my desk next to hers and the two of us had lots of fun. We colored and we counted. We even got to eat lunch on the playground! Never in my life had I had such a wonderful contact with humans. Normally I can only be with people in the palace, following a strict schedul. (I'm even bathed and dressed by servants! Yuck! Unfortunately mommy said I would have to until I am 12. I don't really know how to bathe myself, so tonight will be a good learning expireance!

My heart was content until a little boy in the fifth grade came over to me and yanked out my hair-do, then began to pull on my hair. Three other boys picked me up by my legs, while the boy in the back continued lifting me with my hair! I screamed and cried as they carried me to the schools--- LAKE! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM!

"one, two three!" the boy holding my hair shouted, and they threw me. At the same time, they saw Luna-P fly from my hands. They had heard me say Kitty Magic while they carried me, and they were surprised that when I suddenly shouted "turn into a life raft," a life raft appeared and I was able to float towards the shore! It was a wodnerful feeling that made me feel incredibly good. My hair didn't even get the slightest bit wet, however my uniform was soaked from the splash that had come up from under the raft as I heavely hit it. It made me feel fat, but I know I'm a little shrimp!

Suddenly, to my utter shock and little amuesment of my first day, they started the glow. Everyone gasped as they cackled and became hedious monsters. I let out a scream of terror. They were from the nega moon! I began to cry. I just knew they were wisemans soldiers. My screams became louder, then a yellow light burst from my forehead; my birth mark. The cresent moon became brighter until I heard voices in my head saying,

"We're coming!" I knew it was Serena's voice, but at the same time it was, it was sort of, different; yes, the word is different. The two creatures came at me with blinding force. I was thrown back into the river and began to scream louder and cry harder then I had all that day as I started to drown. Then I felt someone catch me by the wrist. I was under water and the water was quickly filling my lungs. Then they closed. I don't remember much else, but a lot of screaming and moon frisbee before I went completely blank.

I woke up in the nurses office with the two boys, mommy II, and daddy II. Sammy was squeezing my hand. I like him as an older brother. He isn't mean to me the slightest bit! (Unlike SERENA, the nasty little BRAT! But I still have problems with the way she looks so much like my mommy. Could Serena be the past carnation of Princess Serenity the I think first?) Well, obviously I was going home. Finally there came a familiar thought. That wasn't my daddy, (I'll call him uncle for now, since he isn't even really my relative) It was DARIEN! I thought I would choke, but that is when I found out how much I liked him. The nurse said that since Darien had no school that day because of something else going on, Serena's mom had called him and asked him the pick me up.

That was hard to beleive, but his arms feel was warm and comforting, just like my REAL daddy's arms are when they would pick me up and carry me through the castles halls and place me into my bed when I was bad or when it was late. I loved my daddy so, and I wish to see him, but he is a warrior like my mom. My mom is a different warrior though; she must live until I can save her. She must not be sucked completely into her wonderful dream of peace and beauty. She MUST come back to us, or I will stab myself with a knife made by Luna-P. My mommy is my role model. I don't want to loose her.

When we reached the house, Darien placed me in my bed in the guestroom along with Luna-P and kissed my forehead. Then he said,

"You're gonna be okay, kid. Meatball head will be here soon to watch after you and I'll leave. Until then, would you like some cookies?" I slowly sat up and smiled as a response. I smiled back as a responce and he smiled and then left the room to get me milk and ginger snaps. I smiled to myself and whispered aloud, (now I wasn't so homesick)

"Luna-P henge! Become a new, fresh, sweet pillow!" A white, fluffy pillow fell down that floated up into the air. I could now sit up and lean against it! Darien came in, and probably thought he was dreaming. Darien just gave me the tray in which he had placed my milk and ginger snaps and then left the room, telling me to go to bed immideately after I was done. I gobbled the cookies and lay back, the pillow going under my head.

I woke up two hours later to a scream and couldn't help but laugh quietly. It was Serena. I hopped out of bed and raced downstairs to hug Darien goodbye. (Partially because I liked him, and maybe a little because I know he is Serena's boyfriend and I want to make him jelous.) Well, Serena yelled at me and told me I'd better get out of my uniform. I raced upstairs and came down in such a cute dress that Serena left in a tantrum. (I HOPE that's the reason anyways.)

Dinner was a desaster. I learned Serena could eat but couldn't cook and I had to starve until my auntie got home. My auntie had a delicious meal for me and told Serena she had better have her homework done. When Serena gave her the excuse she fell asleep from the hard work of cooking, her mommy yelled and sent Serena to her room! I had the house to myself, finally! Sammy and I played board games until I had to bathe.

The bath was halarious! I slipped and fell three times in the tub, for I didn't know how dangerous it could be because I was placed into a bath, (not a shower) by a servant. I didn't really know what to use the puff for because I use a soft, silky, silvery wash cloth. Finally I got through with my bath and hopped out, and SAMMY opened the door! I began to laugh nervously. I quickly wrapped the towl around myself as Sammy slammed the door.

"Sorry!" I heard him call, but I just laughed. Sammy is so funny when he is embarassed. I left and got into a pair of Serena's old pajamas. (Serena's mom is going to take me shopping for new clothes and pajamas tomorrow, since I came with none but my uniform.) Now, here I am, sitting in my bed once again, ready for a brand new day. I can't wait! It feels so wonderful to be in nice sheets, but I so wish to have my large bedroom and pink canopy, however at least here I don't have to hold someones hand to go down the steps.

Serena's mom is coming to make sure I am asleep now. G'night, dear Diary.

Love,

Rini

I wonder if my heart will ever truely be free?
