Hey Diary!
What's wrong with me?!
First Marsha! And now Buck!
Why won't people play with me anymore!




I'm soooo angry at Buck right now.
He's supposed to be my friend!
We had a lot of fun together!




Fun without cooties, of course!




Well... sometimes we had fun with my sisters.




I love to dance! But don't tell anyone!
And I'm so much better than Helena!
(That, you can tell everyone!)




But then, Buck and Rosie started acting... weird.
They don't spend time with us anymore.
And they are always playing hide n seek around the house!
It's so annoying!




And then, Helena told me something that really made me angry!
Last night, she was looking for Buck.
She wanted to show him how much she has improved with the exercises.




Helena found Buck and Rosie in the attic.
And they were playing house!
Why they didn't invite us! Rosie always played with me that game when we were little!




So I told Puck everything, diary!
I may be small, but I'm also his friend!
And he knows I'm so bored now that Marsha spends all her time with her baby brother!




He was quite embarrassed when I told him what Helena saw.
I guess that'll teach him to treat his friends with respect.

Bye Diary!

Timmy.

Well Diary, we've decided to keep our relationship as a secret.
I'm not sure how my parents will take the fact that I'm now dating Buck.
I'm afraid it'll make things awkward between Dad and Buck.




So, we have to wait until we are alone before doing... couple stuff.




You know something, Diary? I think this situation makes things more fun... and romantic.




We still have as much fun as we had as kids, though.
That'll never change.




Buck is my first boyfriend.
And of course, I'm his first girlfriend.
So... we were not sure how to act like a couple at the beginning.




It's all been some sort of game.
Some kind of experiment.








As the weeks have passed, we've been trying more intimate stuff everyday.








I like to feel his lips on my own.
His arms around my body.
I love it when he touches me.




It's never enough for me...
I want to try everything... I want to kiss every inch of his skin.
Buck doesn't want to go all the way yet... he thinks things are going too fast.
Well, it's not like we have much time left! We have to make the best of it!




When Buck told me that Helena had caught us making out in the attic, I was so embarrassed!
I had a long conversation with her, and asked her to keep it a secret from my parents.
Helena is smart and she knew exactly what we were doing.
She was very curious, and made a lot of questions.
I... I had no other choice but to answer her.
At least to keep her quiet!




Timmy is still a young kid at heart, despite being 12.
He's still naive, so he literally thinks that we are "playing house", as Helena said.
Buck also talked to him and asked him to keep it a secret.
Timmy is glad we are dating. He says that Buck's the only boyfriend he'll ever accept for me.
We both promised we'd try to spend time with Helena and him.

I'm glad my brother and sister support our relationship.
I'm sure that'll make things easier for Buck and I.

Take care, diary!

THERE YOU ARE!




What?! Marsha?! What are you doing here?! (Not that I care...)




"I knew it! I knew you were spying me!"
"Of course not!"
"Then what are you doing with that telescope!"
"Me? Uh... I'm looking for aliens! Duh!"
"Then why it's pointing to my house!"
"Uh... uh...!"
"Just accept that you've missed me, Timmy! I knew you liked me!"




"What? You are completely out of your mind, Marsha Bruening. You are the ugliest, craziest, most annoying girl I've ever..."








"Ewww! Are you out of your mind? Now I'm all covered with cooties! I'm going to die! Yuck!"




"I... I... well... I have to go! I... have homework to do..."




*Giggles* Yes!

Dear Diary...

I... I'm so scared.
The moment we've feared is almost here!
Buck got an e-mail from his father.
After he read it, he paled.




What's wrong, Buck?




It's my father. The mission is over.
Tank and he are on their way back to Strangetown...




"Damn it! I wish they'd stay there forever! I wish they'd never return!"




"Hey Rose Mary! It's my family you are talking about! How can you wish that to them?!"




"I'm... I'm sorry..."- I cried- "It's just that... I don't want to lose you! It's too soon! I..."




Rosie... these have been the best six months in my life.
I don't care what happens when my father arrives.
It'll be worth it.




No matter what happens! No matter where my father sends me now... I'll be back.




Now that I look back at that moment, I realize that everything we did was out of fear.
We were irresponsible, Diary, I know it.
But at least in my case, I wanted to do anything! Anything!
That'd make me forget about the terror that was eating me alive.




Without any other word, I took his hand and dragged him upstairs.
The only place available was my Grandpa's room.
I... I know it was wrong.
But we were running out of time.




I wish I could say it was romantic.
Or planned.
Or as perfect as I always thought it could be.




But we were young and unexperienced.
We were clumsy. And it hurt so much...
But we couldn't stop it.
Our hormones, fear and anxiety took control over our minds.




After we were done... I felt like crying.
What if this was the only chance I ever had of making love to Buck?
What if we've just ruined everything?

I'm terrified Diary...
But I don't know what scares me the most:
If the return of the General... or what happened tonight...

__________________________





I knew something was going on between Rose Mary and Buck.
I'm not stupid... and I still remember clearly my teenage years.
The way she looked at him... it was as if I were looking at my sixteen year old self.
The one who had just fallen in love with that red-haired stranger from Veronaville.

I caught them talking in the bathroom.
Buck had been ill the last few days.
He said it was food poisoning, but I knew better.
The stress and fear he felt was eating him alive.




I still don’t know how far they’ve gone in their relationship.
But I knew that it was time to interfere.




I confronted them right then and there.
Rose Mary defended their relationship. She told me that no one would let them apart.
Buck wasn't as loud. He was truly embarrassed and he thought that he had betrayed our trust.
While I'm a bit angry at the fact they kept it a secret all this time, I've decided to support them.
And I told them that they should also talk to Puck.
I know Puck will be furious... but he'll understand with time.




I know they love each other.
And I know that once the General returns, they'll have to prove their relationship is as strong as they claim.
For the sake of my daughter... and the boy I almost consider as my son now... I hope they succeed.

Yikes Diary!

You have no idea what happened tonight!
It was awful!
I was doing my homework at Mom's salon.
Mom and Buck were working with their last clients before closing.




Buck, as always, was being a disaster.
I don't think he's made for this hair-styling business.
I didn't want to listen to yet another client screaming at him, so I went outside.




And then I saw them.
Two weird men, dressed in Army Uniforms.
They looked very familiar.




They stopped in front of the hair salon.
"Can you believe this? A new salon a couple meters away from our house. It's incredible how much this town can change in just a few months..."
"For me... it feels like if I've been away for years..."- said the younger man. I felt sorry for him, because his eyes looked really sad.




"Again, Tank? Just... forget about the mission! It failed, I know... but there'll be more opportunities and..."
"Can't you see, Father? There won't be more opportunities! The Army has just cancelled the program! There are no funds for research anymore. And you know the worst part? I don't think there are any proofs of the parasitic nature of the alien population! You saw them at Takemizu Village! We were the savage ones! The strange ones! Not the aliens! The aliens are part of the community! They have aided them for years! Just like here at Strangetown! Think Father?! What if everything that our Ancestors taught us about aliens is false? What is was all a product of General Buzz I's resentment against P.T. Smith? I..."
"It's not fake, Tank! Those aliens are not good news! I... just..."




"Whatever... the only thing I want for now is to take all this shit cut off. Let's go inside..."




As soon as the older man saw Mom, he got angry.
"Aliens! Aliens everywhere! Let's go Tank I don't want to..."




But the screams of yet another client unhappy with Buck's work caught his attention.
And it all went downhill from there...




"Buck C. Grunt!"




"Father!"




"What the hell is going on here? Why are you not at school? What are you doing with the aliens?"
"I..."
"It's all Ripp's fault, right? He's a lost cause... just like you! After everything I've done to protect you! After everything I've done to give you the best education possible, this is how you pay me? Working for aliens! I had high expectations for you... I... I can't believe you are my son and..."




"Stop it! Just stop it! How can you talk to your son like that? In the few months he's been living with us he's been a good boy. He's smart. He's sensitive. He has a good heart. Perhaps he's not made to be a soldier but... why can't you appreciate him just the way he is? I'm proud of him and...?"




"He's LIVED with you? And of course I'm proud of my son! And I know he can get far! That's why I've always tried to protect him from you alien freaks! It's your kind who's tainting him... you..."




"OK, that's it! I'm tired of this shit, General! I've always tried to make Ripp see that you are a good and intelligent man, but perhaps he's right and you are just an ignorant fool! Don't you dare talk like about the Brokes! They've treated me with respect all this time and I won't let you badmouth them one last time. And you know what? This is the first time in my life I've truly been happy! I won't let you ruin it! I won't be a soldier! Just... forget about it!"
"This is all happening again... All right! I did everything I could! But if you prefer that whore Chloe to..."
"Her name is Rose Mary!"
"I don't care! If you want to get killed by an alien freak, then so be it! But this time, I won't be the one who'll sweep the ashes. You are already dead to me, Buck!"




"Let's go home, Tank."
"I... I think I'll stay here, Father."
"Very well... if you want to take side with your brothers... I don't need any sons!"




I caught a glimpse of the General as he left the Salon, Diary.
And I've never seen a sadder man.
Why things have to be that way?




Tank also seemed depressed. Buck tried to comfort him, but he was pushed away.
"Just don't! I don't want your pity!"
"But..."
"Just... cut this all off... I don't want to look as pathetic as I feel..."




Buck obeyed his brother.




And for once he didn't screw up.
Tank was pleased.
"I... I know it's not what you're used to, Brother but..."
"It's all right, Buck. Change is good... that's something we all need to learn."




"I'm... I'm really glad you are back and safe... both of you..."




"I'm glad to see you too..."- said Tank as he awkwardly hugged his brother.
You know Diary? I don't think that Tank is a terrifying as all the kids in the block always say.
He just... doesn't know how to act with other people.
But I'm sure he'll learn with time, right?
After all, he said he wants to change.

And I wish him the best of luck.
