Journal #2: Saturday

House

I feel like a boss. I guarded the house (That's what we're calling it) with a semi-broken bow against a pack of foxes, found a four leaf clover, and I think I learned how we're going to go to Erin. But I guess I should start in at the beginning. I hope I remember everything…

I woke up in the morning with a crash.

I walked downstairs to see Kaylin cleaning up a broken bowl with her hands.

"I'm so sorry! I was washing yesterday night's dishes and dropped one of the bowls! I'm so sorry!"

"Kaylin, you know there's a broom behind you, right?"

"Oh…"

'What am I going to do with you…'

"You need some help?"

"No, I think I'm fine, thank you."

'What a way to start a Saturday,' I thought to myself as I poured myself some cereal.

Once Kaylin was done, she came over next to me and poured herself some cereal.

"So how do you think of this 'save Erin' thing, Kaylin?" I asked.

"It seems impossible, but everything I've seen since yesterday seemed impossible, so I don't know if this is all a dream or not."

"I guess you had a pretty good life before you came here."

"It was good as an exchange student, but I could think up of many ways it could be better."

I guess I should describe the characters…

Kaylin is a brunette that is of average size with hair going a little below the shoulders and never seems to be serious enough. All in all, she would be a good wife, but she would never think of fighting, so you would have to protect her yourself. A hard job, if I may add.

"Well, I'll be on the roof if you need me," I said as I finished my cereal.

What I found hanging above the doorway/hole to the roof was, 'a bow? And arrows? Why would these be here? I guess I can try them out. It's not like any of the others know how to use them…'

I plucked the bow and arrows off their strings and ran a few laps around the roof with them. I tried to get into a shooting position. It felt great. It felt so great I saw a fox.

Wait a second…

A fox?

When I turned around I saw not only one, but a dozen foxes. 'So that's why there were bow and arrows. Probably sent by the mastermind behind this whole 'save Erin' thing.' They all seemed to be in a defensive stance, except for one. 'I wonder…'

I shot not one, but two arrows at the fox in one shot and killed it. The second one charged at me and I had to bat it away with my wooden bow off the roof. Splinters shot off. 'That means that if I hit them to much with it then the bow brakes…' While this all took place, the other ten circled around me. I shot at one of the foxes and it was hurt, but wasn't phased. It tackled me while I was reloading and hit me three times in succession. I batted away the fox that tackled me and shot at it again. It died and dropped a wooden sword. 'It'll be better to hit them with a sword than a bow…' I thought to myself as I picked up the wooden sword. It felt like it was molded to my hands as I swung at the fox right next to me, three times in succession. With a final growl, it died. I impaled the next fox and pushed it off the edge of the roof and my sword by pushing on it with my foot. 'It seems like if I do that while they are in that defensive stance, I will not only be able to penetrate their defense, but deal massive damage, too. And only five left…'

The last foxes started to get smart and all tackled me all at the same time.

We all fell off the edge of the roof.

There was no time to kill the others in mid air. There's also the possibility that they will die on the fall. I strangle the fox closest to me and put it under me as a softer place to land than the ground. When I hit the ground, I heard a splash.

'A splash means water.

The only water I could have land on… was the women's bath.

With Angie and Amalie in it.

Bull…

'Now, to swim away like nothing happened, or tell the truth?

I choose to tell them the truth. It was a stupid mistake.'

"What are you doing here?" asked Amalie, sounding furiously yet embarrassed at the same time. Is that even possible?

"How did you fall out of the sky?..." asked Angie, wondering if this was all a worthy joke made by Shuka and ignoring the fact that I was in the bath while she is in it, too.

"I went onto the roof. Found bow and arrows," said Steve,"Killed three foxes. Killed another and it dropped a sword. I killed another with the sword. The last five tackled me off the roof. I la-"

"So you still have your sword with you?" asked Amalie, almost like she was about to kill me.

"Ye-"

"Get it out of here!" yelled Amalie as she anime punched me into a wall. 'Defiantly a warrior,' I thought to myself before I passed out.

When I got back to the world of Earth, the only person with me in my room was Shuka. 'Why am I not surprised?' I thought to myself, 'And he's going to ask-'

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?"

'How did I know…'

Without answering, I walked out and to a clover patch near the entrance to the house and saw one that almost seemed to bulge. Wait a second… It did bulge… Because of an extra leaf!

'I guess life is really like a roller coaster; It goes up, and right when you think it can't go up any higher, You drop down at a speed too fast to comprehend.' I thought to myself as I walked over to the clover, and thought, 'What could I wish for?' so I left it. We ate dinner (made by Kaylin- dur) and went up to my room. I opened the window (I chose one of the few that pointed straight at Mount Fuji) and thought, 'The only reason it would be put in Japan is so that we could enter Japan, right?' I look down at where Mount Fuji touched the ground and saw a gate in the fence… with a star on it.

I looked to my right (it's not like looking left would do any good) and saw a gate in the fence.

With a- you guessed it… a horse in front of it. A stone horse, at that, because that's not weird…

I just saw that. It doesn't seem very conspicuous right after an attack of foxes. Not at all…

I kept by bow, arrows, and sword (even though Amalie told me not too. I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to use one tomorrow and be glad I kept it) and going to see about what happens what I open the OTHER gate with a star on it. I hope it goes to Japan. That would be very cool

Well, now it's time to sign off. Sigh, how the roller of my life goes…
