This is not a diary, this is a Hawk!

YEY NEW ENTRY! -pumps fist into air-

[20lait1]

Dear Hawk,

I’m still worried about talking to Xander. I know that Robot Skyler (aka. Robot Me) has talked to pretty much everyone in the school except for everyone in this room. There’s no school today, so we’ve been hanging around in Creek’s dorm for what seemed like ages. I’ve managed to convince everyone this is not a diary. You aren’t a diary anyways, right? I told them this was a notebook for recording my notes and stuff in it. So I’m safe for now. Definitely not writing in a girly diary.

Riptide’s suggested we have that contest ‘tell me things that only the real Skyler would know’ but of course, when I check a couple of pages back in you, this robot seems to know everything that happened. It mentioned Music and Barktree High, which is real…. Maybe the creators of the robot imported stuff from my memory into it? Or was it programmed? Still, that’s creepy. Does it know about Riptide’s girly plushie? Hmm…. Worth a try, but I guess the chances of it knowing is 87.452%. Wait a second - why am I starting to talk write like Lucifer? Ugh… That was a random guess anyways. Well… Hmm… Wait. I have an idea. I need to share it with the girls…. And the guy, too.

I think it works.I think it will work. So here’s the plan… I need to prove to everybody that the Robot Me is using a hologram. I think it’s a hologram, anyways. Luckily, I have my friends to help me…. But how do I prove it? I have no idea. That’s Plan 1#. Or was it #1? I think it was the second one… Oops. Well, whatever. Creek and Danava are trying to encourage me to talk to Xander, but I’m not good with the boy stuff… Unlike Creek, I guess. Sunny’s just sitting around quietly, watching us. Riptide’s actually stopped banging on the door for once and is sitting on the floor, thinking. I think he’s thinking anyways. I don’t actually know. Well… I better gather them up and figure out what to do.

I’m… standing at the corner on some place. I see Xander, walking along quietly, reading. This is my chance. I don’t know why I’m here… but Creek and Danava actually got me to. I can’t believe it… But I must do it. Now…. or never.



Me: *slowly walks up* Hey… Xander.
Xander: *glances up from book* Sky - Um, I…. You have hair? I mean…. *blushes* I’m… not offending you. It looks good…. But… Erm….
Me: I - You - ThereisarobotpretendingtobemeitlookedlikemebecauseithadahologrambutpleasebelievemeI’mtherealSkyler!
Xander: Erm… Could you… say that again?
Me: Oh… You mean I was too fast…. There is a robot pretending to be me. It looked like me because it had a hologram but please believe me I’m the real Skyler!
Xander: That doesn’t make much sense… But… what robot? I saw you a couple of minutes ago… Without… the hair.
Me: Ah… Well, the ‘me’ you saw was a robot.
Xander: It certainly did not look like one.
Me: It is using something called a ‘hologram’ I think. Or was it ‘telegram’? Ugh, I’m really not sure…
Xander: *smiles a little* You sound like the Skyler I danced with on the night. I suppose… I believe you.
Me: I… I…

I didn’t know what to do. He was staring into my eyes, I was staring into his - deep green pools, like emeralds…. Then Xander’s entire snout turned crimson red.

Xander: *blushes* I… Don’t hate me… for this.
Me: Hate you for -

Then he leaned forwards and kissed me. Cold, wet nose against my snout. I nearly freaked out, but I managed to… like it. Relax… It was short, but it seemed like an eternity. That moment Snowy strutted into the hallway and saw us.



Snowy: XANDER! What are you doing with that Outcast freak! You are so much better than her? Why bother with her?!
Xander: I - I -

He seemed to be lost for words, but he shook himself out and walked calmly right up to Snowy and narrowed his eyes. Snowy stepped back, eyes wide. It must have been unnerving. I can’t believe someone could have actually done that - especially Xander. I would have just charged right up to Snowy and tear out her fur. I’m being honest, honestly! Wait a second - that doesn’t make sense. Oh wait - it does. Whatever… Anyways, back to what Xander was doing.

Xander: Outcast… freak?

He spoke slowly - it seemed like nobody else was moving. It was kinda… creepy nah, I’m.. not a scaredy cat. It was… unnerving. Meh. Nerd word. Jewel told me about it. I’m not a nerd. True fact. I - I’m getting off topic. Again, a nerd word. I’m using way too many nerd words that I seem like a nerd. I’ve barely been to the library - that place is radiating with nerd energy. Ugh. More… off topic stuff. Anyways.

Xander: Do not call my… girlfriend… a freak.

I - We were a… couple? I - I DIDN’T KNOW THAT! AHHHHH PANIC FREAK OUT AHHHHHH

I’m feeling better now. Really. Anyways, Xander looked like he was about to shoe what was that word again? Ah, sock. He looked like he was about to sock Snowy in the face with a paw when I heard a girly squeal. Here’s a photo of the squealer - (is that a dragon name?)



???: OMG! You must be the Queen Bee! You look so fashionable!
Snowy: *turns around* Oh, yes, I am! I totally love your hairstyle, and that hoodie is like, you know, the colour of milk! That is like, so fashionable, too! You must be like, new, but you’re just in time, because, like, we’re running out of cool Jocks and Populars! Those Outcasts are like, taking up all the space with their stink!

Wow, Snowy. You now say hoodies are fashionable. And I don’t smell. She puts on 20 layers of poop perfume each day! That horrible blend of Raspberry This, Flowery Stench that - does Snowy even have a nose?! Meanwhile, Xander was just staring - maybe glaring - after her, now with a paw in the air like he was about to foot sock her in the face. When she continued squealing to the new girl, he just sighed and put his paw down.



Snowy: You’re like, totally fabulous! Name and interests?
???: I’m Princess, and I totally love shopping and fashion! I can’t live without it!
Snowy: OMG! You’re like, Popular right away!
Princess: Thanks so much! I totally knew you were a Popular from the start, and I already know that now I am a Popular! Wanna go shopping later?
Snowy: Totally, Princess! We’re going with my Popular friends, Sunny, Creek, Tiffany and Taylor! You should have seen us with that totally popular Azure! She’s the daughter of a movie star - and the movies are like, totally fabulous!

Then she lowered her voice. I had to strain to hear it - yes, even with my fox ears. No, they aren’t big because I have a big head. I don’t even have a big head.

Snowy: You know, that Creek is like, half Outcast. I see her hanging around them, breathing in those fumes like the smell isn’t even there! I’m considering making her an Outcast…
Princess: I see. *nods* Let’s… watch her and we can totally find out how she feels about us.
Snowy: You’re beautiful, popular and smart. You’re like, totally better than Sunny, even though she’s improved.
Princess: ‘kay! And some of the jocks… Wait a sec - is he a jock? If all jocks are like that hot, then I’d love to be paired up with one!
Snowy: Going to happen, Princess! We’re going to pair you up with a hot jock that doesn’t disobey *glares at Xander*
Xander: *glares back*
Snowy: And you’ll be like, totally even more popular! Let’s get away from that Outcast stench! *glares at me*

Before she actually left, suddenly I heard a voice. A familiar voice.



Me: Why is -
Jackson: Ma’dam. You must be….?
Snowy: Snowy, dear! You must be new! You’re totally a jock, but I need to know your name and interests!
Jackson: Snowy - such a beautiful name. My name is Jackson, and I love taking girls like you shopping, and… *pulls a rose from behind his back* Will you accept this?
Snowy: TOTALLY! You’re like, so much better than some of those jocks! Besides, why hang around Outcasts when you can be with totally pretty Populars?!
Jackson: …. *leans forward*
Snowy: *steps back* IALREADYHAVEABOYFRIEND! I mean… I…. Just come on!*hurries off*
Princess: *glances at Jackson, then follows Snowy away*

I frowned and took a step forwards.

Me: Hi again…. Jackson. You were at Barktree… Why did you move? And… lose some of your accent?
Jackson: *raises eyebrow* I was merely hiding it for a moment. And it is none of your business… Skyler. *hurries after the girls*
Xander: ….. Skyler. I… Do…
Me: I don’t hate you. I… love you even more. Thank you.
Xander: *sighs in relief* Well, that’s… good.

Then I heard a voice.

???: That seems like a complete scene acted out from the romance book, Love at First Dawn.

We looked around, confused. Then Cristo stepped out from out of nowhere somewhere.



Cristo: You nearly repeated every single line correctly. Have you read it? It is truly an emotional book. I’m sure you will love it. There are a couple of copies in the library.
Me: *blushes* A…. I…
Xander: *blushes* Um… I… Maybe.
Cristo: It is truly the perfect book for you two. *turns around and leaves*
???: I heard… your… argument between Snowy.

There are way too many dogs trying to be mysterious and freaking me out. Ugh. And guess what. It’s a Popular.



Me: A… Popular. Let’s go, Xander. *tugs at his arm*
Xander: *doesn’t move* Tiffany, is it?
Tiffany: Yup. You should have seen the teacher’s face when I offered him the apple you gave me! He was really happy, and I love to make others happy! Especially teachers - they give you high scores!
Xander: An… apple? I… didn’t give him an apple. Well, I didn’t give you an apple, but…
Tiffany: Really? Luke told me you did.
Xander: Lucas? Well, that explains it.
Me: *loud, fake cough* Explains what?
Xander: Hm? Oh. I found my lunch and my daily fruit - I put an apple that day - was gone.
Me: So...?
Tiffany: *gentle nudge* So that means Luke - Lucas, if you prefer - stole that apple from Xander.
Me: How important is an apple? Especially when I've been hunted down more than twice by dogs that have powers?
Tiffany: Um, what did you say?
Me: N - Nothing! Nothing. Yup, nothing....
Tiffany: *shrugs* I better be off, then. *hurries off*

I stared after her and turned to Xander. Before I could speak, another mysterious guy girl popped up. And the worst I could imagine. Yes, I do have imagination. Anyways, back to... reality. Ugh. I actually wish it was a story... that I never read. Ugh. Again.



Me: Oh, hi, robotic... me. *sweatdrop*
Robotic Me: *raises eyebrow* What do you think you're doing with my boyfriend?
Me: I - Your -

That robot seemed to have laser eyes or something, because it made me really nervous. Very nervous.... indeed.

Me: *stands up straighter* Ex-cuse me, robot? Xander's my... boyfriend, and if you don't step back, you're going to get something in the face. Come closer, and you'll egg-get it.
Xander: You mean regret. *chuckles*
Me: Um, yeah. You'll.... regret it.
Robotic Me: *growls* Really? Maybe you will regret standing next to my boyfriend, fake.

Then I pulled back my fist and punched her in the snout. Or is it an 'it'?

Me: OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! That hurt!

Robotic Me didn't even have a dent. She stared at me coldly, then turned to Xander.

Robotic Me: Let's go, Xander. She see her? You know I'm strong enough to not scream like a girl when I punch fur and flesh.
Xander: .... But you don't know pain, I suppose. A punch like that... should have hurt? *raises eyebrow and inspects her snout* Not a bruise. Or perhaps... a dent?

I saw a flash of the 'hologram' - it looked exactly like me. The old me, anyways. It seemed to glitch, and suddenly Xander gasped.

Xander: So you're a robot. You're not 'fur and flesh', you're 'metal and wires'. Explains the lack of pain, does it? *raises eyebrow, then turns to me* Come on. We better figure out how to get rid of this... metal beast.
Me: I - I - Yeah. *glares at the robot* You may think you've won, but you'll never take my boyfriend. *glances at Xander, and blushes*
Robotic Me: *growls angrily* You might have your supposedly 'boyfriend' at your side, but you've not won. You should be worrying about your friends, and the one you call... Fang.
Me: F - Fang? You're not going to hurt him again! I'll -
Robotic Me: I already have. *turns away and leaves*

I was left staring after it. I feel... lonely. And scared - for Fang. For my friends. Xander put a comforting arm around me, but I muttered an excuse and rushed off to the library, where I knew Lucifer would probably be 'hanging out'. Or studying, really. Plus I can write in my Hawk there... He knows I have a Hawk. He just... doesn't like me writing in it.

So yes, I'm in the library now. And... Lucifer... and Link is there. Here are their pictures -



Anyways, they seemed to know each other quite well. And when I thought I was only with Lucifer and writing in you - Link popped up. I nearly freaked out He told me he knew about it already. But there's something's he's hiding... Does he know more than he's revealing? Anyways, they both creep me out. Honestly. And... They just spoke about... something that worries me.

Lucifer: Skyler Swiftrunner. *dips head* I see you have come. Not for a friendly visit, I suppose.
Me: A friendly -
Link: Silence. *looks around* Lucifer spoke to me. I... I have already known about this... for a while. It was merely a feeling, but....
Lucifer: It is true. You will learn more when you... are visited by them, I guess. This is much more than mere Clans. This is... a complete war. I shall tell you the story -
Me: Zzzzzz....
Link: *pushes me* Wake up, Skyler.
Me: Zzz - Wha? Oh. I mean, no story. Yeah, no story.
Lucifer: *sighs* Maybe another time, then. But... one of your students... have been granted a power she may not be able to control. She... merely thinks it as a party decoration.
Me: Party - Cinders?!
Link: *nods* She can use these powers, or grant them to another - even by accident. You must encourage her to use these powers - the elemental power - to destroy the robot. Then... the powers will disappear.
Me: But how about -
Link: Your wind powers will stay. They are not granted - they are... supposed to be there.
Me: I - Oh - But -
Lucifer: The stake of the school - and even the world - rests in your paws. I'm afraid all of these powers are needed to defeat the heartless creature... But...
Me: But...?
Link: But...
Me: Butt?
Lucifer: *sighs* But she has already accidentally granted it to... an enemy of yours, I presume. Snowflake Silverflutter, a -
Me: Sn - Snowy?! But - But she never listens to me! I -
Lucifer: Good luck.
Link: *nods*

Before I could say another word, they got up and walked away - they vanished around a corner. I rushed over to look, but they had 'mysteriously' gone. I noticed a window above me, half open - but no way Link could have rushed up there, silently, and left within a couple of seconds. Maybe it was open when I came in... And Lucifer probably just vanished with his creepy Emo stuff. So I realized the library did make me feel more nerdy (is it actually radiating with nerd energy?) and I left. So right now, I'm sitting outside, alone. I'm not ready to go back to my friends yet... I need time to... worry. See you... No. That... doesn't sound right, now. Fang could be in danger... and I can't help him... Perhaps... Pearwell Farewell, Hawk. That sounds... more sad, I guess. Farewell.

Hannah's gonna be jelliss when she finds out... And heart broken. And by that I mean moping about alone, without the scythe, and crying a lot. Under a tree or something. Hannah is almost like a resemblance of me but I'm less rude hehe.
