I can't believe it's only been two weeks since Daddy came home... It seems like longer than that, wow. We've been busy, though; one of his buddies runs this custom cycle shop and offered him a job, and he agreed to hire me too, though I'm pretty sure he thinks I don't know shit about bikes. I mean, I don't know them as well as cars, but I'm not clueless, so I'll just have to show 'im, I guess.

....Then Daddy went out and bought a dog. This big old ugly thing that drools everywhere! He's actually kinda sweet, honestly, but he freaks Laserboy out and she almost set him on fire the first day so he's living at the garage now, so that actually worked out pretty well.

Oh, and I talked Daddy into naming him Bonecrusher, haha. I think it's fitting.

Pearl, your party's still tomorrow, right? When do you want me to come?

Oh, Axel, I never thanked you for showing me around Halloween Town, did I? It was cool, man.

Hey Sam...?

[Here comes Mikaela, a hot girl in a hot car, pulling up in your driveway, Sam. It's been too long since she's been here, hasn't it? Mikaela honks the horn twice and leans out the open window, trying not to think about how weird it was that she was the one in the expensive car, picking him up. A couple years ago, it would've been the other way around.]
