11/23/09 11-12 snuck into my room this morning and locked us in. He wanted to talk about it and know that I wouldn't tell Father Two about yesterday. I told him that if he didn't stay away from me, and that if was on his best behavior, I'd keep it our little secret. He hated the idea of blackmail, but I guess that guy meant something to him because he agreed. I shoved him out of my room, got myself ready for a day out, and right as I was about to leave, Father Two suggested we all go out to the Solar Cafe then to the resort as a family.

11/22/09 I followed 11-12 again, but waited outside the bar for him. He didn't stay in long, which surprised me. He came out with some old dude, and stopped when he saw me standing there with Bubie in my arms. I stared at him, and he stared at me, and then he said something to dismiss the guy so he could come talk to me but I took off running in the direction of the Palais. He ran after me and was yelling at me to stop but I didn't. Finally he caught up and tried to grab my arm but couldn't get a grip, so he tackled me, which wasn't very pleasant because I was in one of those stupid sundresses Father Two forces me to wear. I freed one of my hands and hit him hard in the stomach with my palm, which I learned is much more effective if done properly than punching since there's more control, and got up and ran again with Bubie running after me. He kept yelling at me to stop, but I ended up getting to the Palais way before him. The landscaper saw me running, barked at me thinking I was in trouble, then I made it inside and up to the main parlor. Father Two asked me what I had been doing and how I got my dress all dirty when he came downstairs, but I didn't tell him anything about 11-12. I made up a lie that I had tripped and fell.

11/21/09 Followed 11-12 when I caught him sneaking out while Father Two was in that room with those pills. I KNOW Father Two knows he's sneaking out. He lets him have a much shorter leash and I hate that. 11-12 went to a bar that I think was called something like Go In. I didn't want to actually go in, since the people walking in were extremely weird looking, but I think I'll get the courage to one day.

11/20/09 School. Walk with Bubie. Was yelled at by the landscaper for trampling the pansies and ferns. Don't remember what he said, though. I wasn't paying attention.

11/19/09 Father Two almost confronted me about the memory chip. I didn't tell him anything. It makes me smile how much it's eating him up inside that I won't tell him where it is. I think it makes him feel less of a man knowing that a young girl can hide something from him when she's living in his house.

11/18/09 Bubie and I went for a walk through the village while Father Two went up to that room with the food and pills. Wish I knew what he was doing. 11-12 followed, but we know the village better than him, so we finally lost him at the Shop and his in Club More for the rest of the time. Father Two didn't find me, but I got hungry, so I walked home.

11/17/09 Forced to go shopping with Father Two and 11-12. 11-12 needed a new suit and I guess I needed a new dress. Father Two had them both tailored for us, and even had them match. I'll never wear it so long as 11-12 has a matching ANYTHING.

11/16/09 Stuck in the Palais all day with Bubie, and bored of it. Nothing to do but watch 11-12 leave with Father Two, watch T.V. with 11-12 when he's back(never) or roam the house. It's not as big as I remember. I stayed in my room all day instead and played with Bubie.

11/15/09 Needed a break so I broke out of the Palais and jumped on a tour bus. Father Two had no idea, so I was free to sit on the bus all day until they brought me back to the station. Took Bubie to the Solar Cafe afterwards, and Father Two found me. He wasn't happy with it, so he took me home and forbid me to go out tomorrow.

11/14/09 11-12 is finally back from his visit to 875. He's still the cutest thing I've ever seen, but he's really quiet and he stares a lot. I made sure I was out of the house once he got here, so I snuck off during preperations for him and found my way to Club More. It was so much fun dancing while Bubie snaked in between my legs like a dog. I think he was nervous about all the noise, but he calmed down once I got him some water and he realized I was having fun. They played my fave song, but in the middle of the dance, Father Two and 11-12 came in and took me back to the Palais.

11/13/09 School, a stop at the White Church, and a stop at the Village Shop. Bubie swam in the Palais pool again, and the landscaper yelled at us. I just ignored him.

11/12/09 Drove to the Clinic so Father Two could talk with someone (He's always talking to people...) then he took me to the Forum to watch a mediocre presentation. Bubie hated it as much as I did.

11/11/09 Sunburns hurt... Back to Solar Cafe for a little snack in the morning (pumpkin pie, a bagel, and hot chocolate) and Father Two drove me to school in the new car. It's a pasty color that reminds me of toothpaste. Bubie came with us.

11/10/09 Back to the resort for a little day out of school. These are becoming more and more frequent, but this time it was because Father Two was meeting up with someone. He left me by the pool with Bubie and a strawberry smoothie, and I got sunburnt.

11/09/09 School, boring, Bubbie took a bath, blah blah blah.

11/08/09 Bubie almost ate a golf ball. I laughed so hard I thought my kidney or liver or something would explode. Father Two was gone most of the day. Again. Came back real late and sat down to dinner with me, then let me brush my teeth and go to bed. Didn't have homework today, thankfully.

11/07/09 Father Two went back to pretending he didn't care about the chip. Makes me smile to know how it's just eating him up inside because I won't tell him. But, he won't ask me directly yet, so I don't care. I set up a trap in my room to see if anyone came in during school, just to see what would happen. I left a small bit of mechanical pencil led in the hinge of the door, so that if it's opened, the lead will break in half. I came home and it was broken, so I know he's going through my things in search of the chip.

11/06/09 Went to school, came home, did homework, took a walk with Bubie.

11/05/09 Father Two dropped me and Bubie off at the Resort for the day. At least I wasn't in school. Bubie wasn't allowed in the pool, but he got to share a guava drink with me. He broke the little umbrella, though. It was kinda funny and cute. :P

11/04/09 Bubie and I stayed home from school sick. To much raspberry ice cream. Father Two wasn't home all day.

11/03/09 Father Two's becoming persistant. He really wants that memory chip. Can't believe he doesn't know where it is yet. I don't know when I'll ever give it to him... I don't know why he'll need it, anyway. He doesn't live in Nevada. I don't even think he talks to people in Nevada.

11/02/09 Still wondering what that message on Father Two's computer meant...

11/01/09 School was boring as usual. Father Two bought me a new dress, but I doubt I'd wear it. It's ugly pickled plum purple. Bubie and I found a fish fossil in the dirt around the Palais and put it in my room with the rest of my rock collection.

10/31/09 Halloween! I was dressed as a witch (so typical of Father Two to choose the worst costume) and was escorted around the Village. Sadly, I was not able to partake in any trick-or-treating. Father Two says it's not dignified. Pfft. At least I got more Raspberry ice cream when I got back. Bubie enjoyed a midnight swim in the pool and every other bite of my ice cream.

10/30/09 Convinced Father Two to take me to the Solar Cafe for lunch. Got my favorite Raspberry ice cream and pickled plum with raddish wrap. Father Two had coffee and a bagel with Number 554's Blueberry Cream Cheese again. I hate the smell of it. Who eats bagels for lunch anyway? Bubbles was taken to Research Center for a check up. Turns out he's healthier than I thought. You'd think he'd have some kind of sickness from eating all of Father Two's Hyndrangea bushes out front.

10/29/09 Bubie and I went for a walk around the Palais. Bubie went for a swim in the pool out front, and made the landscaper and Father Two mad. The steeple on the top of the Palais makes it look like a church.
