Disclaimer: I, the humble penguin, Erm, own NOTHING, got that? nothing...except for the plot, which I hope and pray someone didn't get to before I thought of it. Other than that, I own nothing...oh yeah...when I get to him, Darryn (whose name is subject to change) is mine.

A/N: I finally got the italics and stuff to work. Joy. Rapture. Thanks much to MusicMagelet for her awesome help with the formatting. It was being very uncooperative.

Oh yeah, here's the story: this entry is while Kel is in her first year as a Squire, but the rest of the story is set the year after she becomes a Knight... -

I'm sorry to all of you who had read this before…I ended up re-uploading the entire thing so I could get rid of ONE stinkin chapter…since we're not supposed to have author's notes as an entire chapter any more… stupid people… just so you know, I have no idea when I'm going to finish this…perhaps over Christmas break I will have time and motivation to finish it at last, but don't count on it, since I really have no idea where its going… alright, so if you've read it before, I'm sorry to disappoint you that there aren't any new chapters up… but for those who haven't read it yet… have fun… (oh, and disregard all comments to people who reviewed…you won't be able to go and see what they wrote, because its GONE! much sadness…)

I'm not fickle...am I?

I can't believe I'm actually writing in this thing. Lalasa gave it to me for Midwinter and told me that it would help if I wrote things out. I think she's been hanging around those awful gossipy court ladies down at her dress-shop. I mean, really-me? Keep a diary?? You've got to be kidding me. After all, I am the great, practical Keladry-whose-feet-couldn't-possibly-be-more-firmly-stuck-to-the-ground!

Well, this isn't doing anything wondrous for me. I'm going to go talk to Peachblossom or something.

Well...what do you think? I know, I know, it's the first chapter and, to be completely honest, it stinks, right? Just wait. It'll get better...(I hope!) Just do me a really huge favor and review...please? Hey-I'm begging here. Be nice and click the pretty little button...the penguins will thank you for this!
