To FF . Net Readers: This story is dead, but I welcome anyone who would be interested in continuing it. For a time, I had very good reviews and very good thoughts about this, but I don't write fan fiction anymore. However, I felt that this was worth sharing, and I've still never seen another story like it.

THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER I HAVE WRITTEN. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO CONTINUE THIS STORY. THANK YOU.

Getting Home Wednesday

Interlude 2: Rockville

"Do you hear me? Do you care?"

------------------------------------------

The youngest of three sat at her computer, her soft features outlined by the glow of the monitor in the darkness. Her hands moved swiftly as she began to write in her journal, the one that she had encrypted so her older sister couldn't read it.

-Journal Entry 0104/53 -

Trite as though it may be, journal, it is a dark and stormy night. The storms started before dinner, after I finished sparring with Ranma and Ukyo. They're in the furo now - Kasumi told them they needed a bath, and I probably need one too...maybe I'll join them soon. They're both really nice girls, but Ranma seems to be very shy, and she seemed really hurt when I said that I thought all boys are jerks. Hmm, maybe she has a boyfriend...or she was forced to leave someone behind before she came here, and she wants to join back with him someday! That's so romantic...

Anyway, before they came, Daddy was going to tell us something, but they showed up with this large panda that turned into their father - Daddy fainted. And he was getting so much better too, it was a shame. But maybe Uncle Genma can help Daddy, they seemed to be very good friends.

Oh! Yeah...Ukyo is really good, but even she defers to Ranma...I wonder how good Ranma is then, she seemed to be really sure of herself, even though she dresses a little strange. She said that she's "an inventor and a martial artist", and you can tell...she dresses a little bit like one of those people in those video games with the chocobos (I think that's what they're called, Sayuri likes them a lot).

Anyway, that's in for now, journal. I hear Kasumi telling me to take a bath, and I think I need one.

The youngest of three sat at her computer, her soft features outlined by the glow of the monitor in the darkness. Her hands moved swiftly as she began to write in her daily log, the one that she had encrypted so her older sister couldn't read it. Not that her older sister would be able to read it anyway. She'd made her own language just to make sure.

-Log, Period 43256.6 -

The old hag ran off today after Father called yesterday. Something about a new power in town, and that it was my fault. She called me a kid...I'm not a kid! I asked big sister about it, and she said every promise made by a goddess carries weight, even those made in haste or when we're too young in our cycles to understand.

I'm not sure, but this sounds like something big, and I'm not powerful enough yet to really be able to tell...it sucks, being goddess of the future but not being able to do anything with it.

Keiichi is being a lot nicer lately...ever since hes gotten that new job, he's been buying me parts for building things, but I think he's hiding something. After that phone call a few days ago, both he and Belldandy are acting strangely. Hmph! I'll just have to find out what's going on.

Hmm...oh! I added a new defense system to Banpei. He's now got a stun ray, which Belldandy likes a lot more than the old system, which simply launched intruders into Godanno Park.

I think I'm gonna do some snooping now...hehehe.
