Dear Diary,
I talked to my dad today. He's been organizing everything for the wedding, since it's going to be in Angel Grove and me and Andros don't really have the time for it. It's the first time I talked to him since I left KO-35. I know, I know, it's crazy, but true. All the communications with my dad have gone through Jeff. Until now. He called to get me up to date and the plans for the wedding, I have to say so far it sounds great. It was hard for me to get anything in, so the first half hour it was a one sided conversation. What he said to turn the conversation into a REAL conversation, I think, will be graphed into my memory. He said; 'But that's not all that important right now. Anyway, how are you?'. Can you believe it? He spent half an hour on the phone talking to me and only then does he decided to ask me how I am. I of course told him I was fine, expect for the facts, well, you know the list. He was silent for a while after the bladder thingy and I could almost see him blink until he got the meaning of the words, so now they know I'm expecting a twin in that house too. He told me he was going to call everyone with the news, so I told him not to bother calling Jeff, since he already knows. My dad clearly pouted when he heard that, but agreed it was his own fault for not making time for me any sooner, so now all I have to do is wait until I can get onto that plane and go home. Yes, you got it right, I'm going home by plane. I know I could ask Deca to teleport me there, but going by plane gives me time to prepare myself to face them. It's not that I'm scared to see them, I can't wait. It's just that it's been so long since I've seen them. I need time to build some walls, so I won't break down at the airport. Well, at least Andros will be there by my side. I can't believe it's been almost half a year since I thought I lost him forever. Let's just hope I'll never have to go through that again.
Love,
Ashley
