[This morning, instead of going for his usual run, Don settles himself at his desk in the back room. The door is open and a pencil is poked thoughtfully between his teeth. When he begins to write, it isn't filtered, but courtesy of a translation-shield, anyone trying to read the entry will see something that looks more like a Danish cryptogram than

I don't know what to say about myself, but, I hope this will be helpful.

I wore a costume for part of a school assignment once.

[A penguin. Yep. Usagi was a rabbit - of course.]

[i_speak_softly]

Oh?

[He was never assigned to do that, but then, he didn't go to anything like a real school.]

We read to some children at a kindergarten nearby. Dressing up was just for fun to add to the day for them.

[Voice | Locked]

[i_speak_softly]

That does sound fun...

[Voice | Locked]

It was a pretty fun assignment for our summer vacation.

[Voice | Locked]

[i_speak_softly]

... I thought the whole idea of summer vacation was that you didn't have assignments.

[Though he could be wrong; he's never had one.]

We can't neglect them just because of that.

[Actually, in the opinion of... every single one of her friends... they could very well neglect their studies if the teachers would just let them. But this is a girl who refused to miss school even when she joined the Dark Kingdom trying to take over Earth.]

Don, do you go to the school here?

[Voice | Locked]

[i_speak_softly]

Huh? Uh, no. Not anymore. [He doesn't really want to talk about that.]

[Voice | Locked]

Don, you know, I think part of remembering each other is making new memories together, too. Would you like to go somewhere?

[Voice | Locked]

[i_speak_softly]

[... But he has all these notes to finish.]

In a few days?

[Little does he know the Malnosso have other plans for him.]

[Voice | Locked]

[no_use_running]

[Equally ignorant, she offers the best way she has to relate to him.]

We could go to the battle dome.

[Yes, she'll spar.]

[Voice | Locked]

[i_speak_softly]

[You make a tempting offer. If only he hadn't forbidden himself to go far before dark.]

Come over.

[Voice | Locked]

[no_use_running]

Is that alright? There's enough room?

[Voice | Locked]

[i_speak_softly]

[He looks around the room. There's enough space for the way he and his brothers spar...]

What do you have in mind?

[Voice | Locked]

[no_use_running]

Outside, maybe...

[After all, even if she used her powers very carefully, the words 'water damage' beg to come to mind.]
