Ethan:
It’s the last day of June, and we’ve had a
pretty good day; but I’ve been having a quiet evening at home with Mom and Dad;
so this hasn’t been an exciting end to our day.
We had a good morning; had fun watching
Ehlana, Naomi, and the Pixies win their baseball game; and then we did chores
at home until we stopped for lunch at around one o’clock. Ehlana and I went to the lab after that with
Uncle Adam; I spent those hours in the archives while they played in the lab;
and then we stayed too long before heading home late for dinner. Mom and Dad had been kid-free; we don’t need
to comment on why they hadn’t even gotten around to cooking dinner; and that
worked out for us because we scored a bonus dinner at the Inn when they decided
not to cook.
That was also a chance for a couple of
cameo moments with Cassie, since she’d worked the full shift at the Inn; and
then we took Ehlana over to Naomi’s for the sleepover they were having so that
Naomi wouldn’t be at home all night with Zack and Eli. After getting home, Mom and Dad worked in the
office while I read a few books in the digital archives; and then Mom and I
took Silkie for a bedtime walk before I came up to my room and got ready for
bed. Silkie’s with me, but she’s tired
out too; and we’re both ready to get some sleep. That’s all the news for today; so I’m okay
with getting to that nap time right now.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
I really like playing sports, and have a
lot of fun doing that with Naomi; but sometimes it’s tough playing games
against our friends – and I mean that because we need to hold back from showing
off everything we could do if we were able to play our very best. We do still have fun, though, so even when we’re
competing against some of our friends; I don’t have a problem with sharing the
love – even when I get teased about doing things like hugging base runners when
they have a particularly-good hit or play!
It’s also more fun when we win; so it was a good day for the Pixies as
we won our game against the Chimeras this morning by a score of nine-to-seven.
The Emporium treats after that were great;
and then Ethan and I helped Mom and Dad with the yard work for the rest of the
morning because Cassie was busy at the Inn all day. We worked until lunchtime; Ethan and I went
to the lab with Uncle Adam after that; and I was happy to play in my lab and do
another test of the latest extract we’ve bio-engineered to try and make a cure
for colds. That test was promising right
up until the virus overpowered it and survived, but we are making progress; so
we just need to figure out why the virus is winning those microscopic battles.
Sounds simple – and isn’t!
Moving along, we were late getting home;
Mom and Dad hadn’t cooked dinner; and took us to the Inn instead before taking
me over to Naomi’s for my sleepover with her.
I love her, and that’s enough of a reason to make certain sacrifices for
her; but we should definitely do more of these sleepovers at my house when it’s
because she doesn’t want to be stuck at her house when Eli’s invited Zack over
for the night too. I love my cousin too,
but Zack is an interesting study case for Magi kids – and that’s entirely
because he’s having a lot of fun creating his own ‘normal’ persona. He’s creating a reputation for being a bit of
a Neanderthal-type guy; and may be doing that in part because he knows how much
it annoys some of his favorite girls. He
and Eli are also a scary pair; and they spent too much time tonight trying to
mess with Naomi and me. They’re likely
not even done with that as I write this; but they have at least given us
something to talk about with our girl chat tonight – not that Naomi and I ever
actually have a problem with that.
Even with the annoyances, we’ve still had a
good night; and a more-exciting one than Ethan’s had since going home with Mom
and Dad. We haven’t talked with him
tonight; but He and I can always sense each other no matter how far apart we
are; so I know how he’s feeling – which is tired right now.
That, by the way, affects me too, but Naomi
and I aren’t ready to go to sleep now anyway – as if Zack and Eli would let us
quite yet even if we did want to go there.
I’m going to get back to hanging out with Naomi, though, and the next ‘attack’
is imminent anyway; so I should probably get my computer put away before I have
to worry about whatever the next prank is going to be messing it up.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
