It's been roughly a year since the Finals! And exactly one year since Allie died… I went and visited her today. I make sure her grave is well kept, with plenty of pretty flowers. A cherry blossom tree has been planted near her grave; I think maybe her parents put it there.
I don't want to be all depressed! Anyway! All this great stuff has happened since Sakura and I won the Nationals! Angelic Layer actually has voices for Angels now! Though its only available for those who made it to the Nationals, and you have to command your Angel to say stuff. It's a lot of fun, because I can role-play with Zack using Sakura. It's lots of fun, and we train too instead of goofing off the whole time.
Sakura and I are unstoppable! I'm serious! We haven't lost any official battles yet! Note the 'official' there; Zack and Sasuke beat me once. (But that's cause I let him!)
Umm… last week Zack became my boyfriend. It's kind of embarrassing. So I think technically that makes Sakura and Sasuke boyfriend and girlfriend too. THAT'S SO CUTE! Isn't it? I think it is.
Misaki and I are really good friends now, but she had to go back to Tokyo. We're pen pals now, she has really good handwriting. Misaki writes and tells me she can't wait till Hikaru and Sakura get to battle again. I told her that would be fun. She also said that right after the American Nationals got translated and put on the air in Japan that a ton of Naruto based Angels popped up. Most of them named Sakura and Sasuke.
She also tells me I have a fan club, she's president. I love Misaki, she's so nice.
Oh yeah! Right after we won the Nationals a movie producer hired me because he thought I was cute. So I played a small role in a movie that's coming out in July! There were so many lines to learn, it was so hard! Luckily though they had a portable layer there for me and some of the other actors to use during scenes. So I got lots of practice and made new friends.
The only bad thing though I still had to go to school! I had a personal tutor so after we were all tired out from filming I had to go to school in my trailer. My own trailer was cool too, I brought my own personal Layer for when the set closed and I couldn't use the big one.
I think that was the strangest thing that happened after the Nationals. I can tell you that I was really popular when I got back to my real school. Though they didn't know about the movie then. With the money I earned I put up a small iron fence around our house to keep the press out. Most people want to see Sakura, though I'm afraid she'll be taken away from me again. And I certainly DO NOT want THAT to happen again.
I found a home for Kiba, after I altered her appearance. I gave her to a little girl that said she loved Sakura. I saw her at a public tournament once when I was doing errands; she and Kiba make a good team.
Whew! I'm really tired from writing. And I have to go meet Zack for some more role-playing. Hehe! From now on and forever, I'll always love playing Angelic Layer with Sakura. Over and Out! –Hannah
