THIS IS NOT A DIARY, IT IS A VENUS FLYTRAP! Original Sequel!

[Reiji]

Makeover >.>

[Gwenfoxe]

Makeover? Ew.

But I want to see the next chapter.

[Butterrat]

ok, FINALLY read it all. I'll say one thing, it really feels... weird. Please tell us if she's going back. If she's not, i don't know HOW i'm going to do without... the girl who talks in green and spouts awesome retorts at serena in the cactus. I don't know, my brain just doesn't function at 1:00 am . !!!!NITPICKS AHEAD, NOT ANY REAL FLAWS!!!! Anyways, y set up anything when you're going to change the whole thing. Another thing is the whole tone just shifted, and it doesn't feel like Sora really cares. In fact, she hasn't mentioned anyone other than the boyfriend she had FOR LIKE A WEEK. have her mention someone like Hollie, and make it seem like she really did have the rug pulled out from under her, because (and i hope i can speak for all of us here) SHE GREW BLURGING WINGS. i don't curse. when you make the character feel different then the reader, it kinda can pull the reader out of the book. Consistency a problem? she's been too busy suddenly being an angel to realize she's and angel, or maybe too busy with school and stuff. The first one fits with the silly nature of the story, the second is more logical. I'm not saying to make the whole thing more srs, just make the main character more natral. if there's a major plot twist, the character should react like anyone else, not make one entry and that's it. otherwise, OMG I LOOOOOOOOVE THIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?@?@?#?%^evv

Thanks for the feedback :) (From what you've said, you're obviously a very in-depth reader, which I love.) If you were saying this about a serious story I'm writing, then I would be more alarmed but as for that in regards to this diary I'm not terribly concerned. It's not that you aren't right- Sora is not exhibiting the right reaction for the things she's going through - but when I write this I also have to bare in mind that this is a parody. Since this is a parody, it's meant to lightly make fun of things like you pointed out. That having been said, I'm a bit torn between doing the emotional touches as I would in a real story or omitting them as a mockery. Not only that, but I've kind of purposely having Sora not remember much, and it is to become a plot point along the way. ;)

On the same note, thanks for the feedback, and I'll be sure to take it to heart. (In fact, it gave me a great idea for the next entry :D)

[GizmoTheDragon]

Well, it took them form two to seven in the morning, I didn't get a wink of sleep, I feel like a zombie, and I threatened to kill them at least twelve times along the way... but somehow they did it. I took a selfy and put it up there. that's what I look like for the day! Can you believe it?! Neither can I!

Wow, guys! I can't believe this! -Sora
Neither can I. Lunae, that eye makeup is WAY too gaudy. You totally overdid it there. -Sammich
I did not. It's elegant. It exaggerates the rosy color of her eyes. -Lunae
Whatever you say. And how did you do my hair like this? -Sora
It was easy enough. You have that natural, bright red hair. It's a beautiful color, it practically did the work for us. -Lunae
But it's so LONG and FLOWY! -Sora
Well, we just brushed it, shined it, and straightened it. -Lunae
And used extensions. Lots and lots of extensions. -Sammich
What about the dress? -Sora
One of Lunae's. What? You didn't think it was MINE, did you? -Sammich
Why so cynical, Sammich? Last I checked, this makeover was your idea. -Lunae
No it wasn't. -Sammich
Let's have a flashback, shall we:

*smiles secretly* Oh, we have ways, don't we Lunae?

Yeah, but we didn't do it my way. My way was to kidnap someone and hold them hostage in a broom closet until they asked Sora to the dance. But YOU thought it was too violent. -Lunae
And horrifically unromantic! -Lunae
Romance is dead. -Sammich
That's what you say every time you don't have a date for a dance. -Lunae

Well, by the time that conversation was over it was time to go to rehearsals. So off we went! When I got to rehearsal no one recognized me, it was hilarious!

Hey, who's that? :O -Petal
I dunno, but she's kinda hot. ;) -Asa
Is thinking: nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Asa, I don't want to go out with you! Please don't make me tell you again! That would be awkward. X.X
Wow! I love her hair! -Delphinium
I know, me too! It's just so great! Red's such a lively color! -Misty
Er- you evil, sneaky insidious she-demons -thank you. -Sora
Really though, who are you? You can't just walk into rehearsals like this. -Raynee
Oh, I'm sure you've met me before. -Sora
I have? -Raynee
Seriously though, spill your identity. We can't have some stranger watching our rehearsals, these are private rehearsals! -Morgan
Don't have to be rude, Morgan. -Kai
I'm not being rude, I'm being straight-forward. And you don't have to stare at her, either. -Morgan
I'm not staring. -Kai
Are you sure you two aren't really married? -Sora
WE ARE NOT MARRIED! -Both
Wait, how does she know about the roles you two have unless she's in the play somehow. -Petal
Aha! You guys are getting warmer. -Sora
*stares blankly* Delicious -Epitaph
Did you just call me delicious? O.O -Sora
No. I was referring to my jelly doughnut. *holds up said doughnut* -Epitaph
Is thinking: well, that's a relief
GUYS! I'M SORA! -Sora
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. -All at once.
Just before we went into rehearsing, Striker walked up to me and said.
You know, you look really pretty today, Sora. :) -Striker
Aww. Thank you. C: -Sora
Hey, I was wondering if- -Striker
STUDENTS, TAKE YOUR PLACES! WE NEED TO START REHEARSING! CHOP, CHOP! FROM THE TOP! -Teacherface
What was that, Striker? -Sora
I was wondering if.... I could borrow a pen? -Striker
Really? Oh, sure! *gives pen* -Sora
Yeah... thanks ._. -Striker

You know, that was kind of awkward. For a second I thought he was going to ask me to the dance. Come to think of it, I don't know what I would have said if he'd asked... maybe yes. But anyway, we're just getting to the good part of my day. I went to lunch and was sitting with my usual lunch table- Asa, Epitaph, and Striker- when the most unlikely person walked up. It was the stranger who pulled me out of the burning auditorium: (Here's his pic, if you don't remember him.)



Hello, does anyone mind if I sit here? -Stranger
Not at all! :D -Sora
Actually, I'm kind of in charge of this table. But since Sora said so, I can't object. Sit down. -Asa
Thank you. *Sits* -Stranger
So..... *flips hair dramatically*[and it worked this time because I have seriously long hair!] I never got your name the other day. -Sora
Oh, wow! I'm sorry! I must have forgot. My name's Zeus. -Zeus
That's cool! ^-^ you're named after a god, that's so friggin' attractive -Sora
Since I'm not one to be indirect: Sora, would you want to go to the dance with me? -Zeus
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! -Sora

At that instant, I leapt to my feet, celebrated, ran out the door, and went dress shopping. [I think I said yes somewhere along the way. I don't know. I can't remember.] Anyway, I skipped the rest of Midnight rehearsals for the day (hope they didn't miss me too much. I'm sure Asa or Striker covered for me) and went shopping with Lunae. (Hope they didn't miss her too much either.)

Anyway, with her guidance, I picked out this dress, and she promised to do my hair as pictured below:



Then the weirdest thing happened. Once I was back in my room and getting ready to go to bed (and taking out the miles of extensions Lunae and Sammich put in my hair.) I looked at my phone and saw like thirty messages! It was insane! I opened them up and saw a bunch of selfys taken by really sad people.



And each one had a message on it. They were from people in my contact list, but I had them saved by really weird names for some reason. It can't be their real names, I mean, just look at them below-

strongGURL: I miss you, Kar-Kar. Happy V-day. Hope you'll come back soon and that you're not just thinking of your boyfriend. Because, of course, only thinking onf you boyfriend on Valentine's day is a complete waste of thought because some of the best relationships a person has are platonic and not romantic. And obsessing over any person that much, man or woman, is extremely unhealthy. Can't wait to see you again. :(

hollah: Kar, we all miss you so much! Why won't you come back? So much has happened while you've been gone! You need to be back so you can talk all about it and we can have more sleepovers! I miss you!

beforethedawn: K! You have to come back to us! I need help, seriously! You're the only one I can think of to give me girl advice! I'm in sore needing of it! Lay is too feminist and Lex is too hyper to give it to me! And H... well. You'll see once you come back. But we all miss you, really.

violetlovely: KARRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Everything's been so boring without you and I don't have anyone to talk to about the color purple because they don't listen like you used to! Come back to us! I miss you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much!

notjustavegetable: Hey. You've been gone for a really long time. I don't know what to say other than I miss you and I hope you come back. I like to think maybe someday we could finish that conversation we had at the dance... you know the one I'm talking about. (I hope so, or I just sound stupid right now.) Anyway, come back. Please. Happy (almost) Valentine's Day.

When I saw this I was just.... defeated. I looked at the pictures a million times and read the messages a thousand times over, but I couldn't remember who these people were. Their names were on the tip of my tongue. I've flipped back through my diary to try to see if I've named them before, but I honestly can't remember. I've mentioned people name Layna and Serena and Raven (I mentioned Raven a lot.) Maybe that's who these people are.... ugh! I just can't remember! I can't remember anything since before I came here! It's like being an angel has taken over my life!

And don't get me started on the rest of the messages. None of the others had pictures, but there were a million of them.

ladyoftheriver: KAAAAAAAAAR! Hurry up and get back here! I'll even bake a pie for you!

spaige: You know who this is! You have to get back to Avian High so we can do some more dance crashing! That was so much fun! I lOvE pArTy CrAsHiNg! CoMe BaCk NoW! Hey, get out! I'm writing this message! nO! I aM wRiTiNg iT nOw! MwAhAhAhAhAhA!

lighterpurple: Kar! You know who this is right? You remember me? You know, the girl who ran the ballot box at the dance? I miss you! you need to come back because... well, you'll see. It has to do with.. well, never mind.

BK-adus: Hey, Kar. I hope whoever-she-is-at-the-moment hasn't told you anything weird (like we're in a relationship. We're not. As usual. Seriously.) Anyway, I hope you come back soon.

T-runnah: Kar-Kar! How are things on the flipside? (I don't mean death, of course. Dear Totoro, I hope you don't die.) Just texting to say that we all at Avian High miss you and want you to come back soon! You wouldn't believe how downhill things have gone since you left. (Well, last time you were gone, the entire school kind of got brainwashed... but that's not happening this time. I swear.) But things are so boring! Come back and stir things up, please! We miss you!

upabove: Hi, Kar. I hope you're going to be okay. I miss you, and I know everyone else does too. I also have some things to talk to you about. Things have kind of been weird with me and- Wait, she might read this. Well, I hope you come back soon so I can tell you in person!

everything: Hello, FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND! I miss you A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! You need to come back from lala-land so we can be FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNDSSSSSSSS again!

shakespearefanboy: Karma! Where for art thou Karma? Would not a rose by any other name smell just as sweet? Now, I'm going to drop the Shakespearian English balderdash for a moment to ask: WHY HAVE YOU LEFT US? You need to come back soon! The Outcasts need their leader back! (don't get me wrong, Layna does really well. But Layna... well, she's good at everything ;) Leading is kind of your forte.)

demonfriend: Kar. I hope you come back to us soon. My brother won't stop talking about how you're gone, and if you don't come back soon it will drive me insane. Don't make me release the nightmares on you. O.O Or him. But probably you. You are being missed.

ofthelight: Kar-Kar! Everyone here misses you so much? Why won't you come back? Even I with my ninja-awesomeness can't figure out what's going on. And usually I'm an expert at bringing people back! Even Dark is stumped! (but I'm sure he'll tell you that himself) Anyway, we all miss you. Please come back soon!

ofthenight: Hey. I don't know what you're doing, disappearing like this, but just know you can never out-disappear a ninja. Come back soon.

lavaboy: Hi, Kar. Almost everyone here thinks you're gone for god, but rest assured that none of us outcasts believe it. We know you're coming back some day. Lay worries herself with it day in and day out. Ah, she's so pretty- Wait a minute, I'm getting distracted. Anyway, I hope you come back here soon. We miss you.

nerdqueen: Kar-Kar! I can say that your condition certain befuddles me to no end. I've never seen anything so confusing. Why haven't you come back yet? Everyone says you should have come back by now, and that if you don't soon it means you're probably dead. Don't worry, I don't believe it! I believe in you, at least!

bellthegeek: Hi. I know I didn't know you as well as some of the other people here, but I always thought we were friends, in a distant kind of way. We all miss you, you know. None of us want to see you die.

brightlight: Kar, you know why you're one of my favorite girls? Because you never attacked me like any of the others. Okay, now that I have that off of my chest, I miss you just like everyone else does. I hope you come back soon, because school will be boring without another Kar to start another rebellion.

fireflame: Hi, Kar. I hope Sparr hasn't sent you too many text messages to fill up your inbox (part of the deal was that everyone would only send one, but I thought she might get around it by sending one as herself and one as her alter-ego.) Anyway, I'm going to keep this short and sweet: Come back.

darkravergirl: Hello, Kar. This is a bit weird, because you've never been my favorite person, but Sparr wouldn't shut up until I sent you a message, so I decided to. Long story short: don't go and die on us, dweeb. Everyone's prattling on about how they miss you, and it'll only be worse if you never come back.

jarkthejock: Hey, Kar. I kind of speak for me and a bunch of the other jocks here (Xavier included, his cell broke and he couldn't send his own message) So listen up. Everyone here misses you to varying degrees, and everyone wants to back. So, come back, or something.

J-dog: Hi, Kar. I hope you don't still have me saved as J-dog on your phone (Lay laughed so hard when she found out about that ._.) Anyway, make sure you come back to us soon. It'll be a shame if you do something stupid like die or just don't come back, in which case you'll die anyway. Lay is so sad with her best friend gone (aka you.) Just... come back, okay? I'm not good with talking about this mushy stuff so forgive me. Please.

pi&vi: Hey! You need to -like- get back here! Okay, that's all. Byeeeeeeeee! :D <333

By the time I was done reading them all, I was freaking bawling. All these people from my old life missed me and wanted me back... and I couldn't even remember how I knew them. this certainly wasn't normal. Is this the curse of being some sort of mystical creature? Forgetting where you come from? If so, it really sucks.

Then, I looked at the last message, which was from a number I'd blocked for some reason. I had to un-block it to get the message.

themostEVILpersonEVER: Hey, Karma. This is awkward, because I know we hate each other and all... but since you could be dead or dying or gone forever right now, I think it might be high time to confess that I miss having you around. I miss having you to fight with and start feuds. It was the spice of my life, and now it's all gone. You ruined my plan, but you also kind of saved my butt when you got rid of Emma. So... maybe consider dropping by some time, for old time's sake?

[Reiji]

Like this if you cry everytime XD
It's still sad thou :c

[Coolpaw5]

Noooo!!! Karma, those people are awesome!!! HOW COULD YOU FORGETTT?!?!?!?

[Xura]

Lol I almost cried when I read this. Lol I'm so lame. But I didn't since I worked all morning to put makeup on

[GizmoTheDragon]

--twenty boxes of tissues, point four hours of contemplation, and three pints of quadruple chocolate ice cream later--

Dear Venus - I've decided that, for once in my life, I am going to take charge of my destiny. You know what that means? SCREW YOU, ANGEL SCHOOL! I don't care WHAT I am. You see those people on the previous page? They ADORE me, and I, in a previous life, probably adored THEM, too. So, I have decided I must go on a valiant quest to go find them. I skipped both school and the day's midnight rehearsals to make plans and pack my bags. Of course, being the smart, dashing heroine that I am, I packed only the essentials:

• Myself
• Some beef jerky
• A full, half-gallon canteen of water
• A few changes of clothing
• A two pound bag of gummy bears
• An Atari Game System
• Seasons One through Seven of Dork Dynasty on DVD (What? I left my Blu-ray set at home!)
• Dish Soap
• My Valentine's day Dress
• This Venus Flytrap
• My collection of 149395108762395958958223838 colored pens so I can continue properly recording dialogue in the corresponding colors

And then I put on this super-stealthy-disguise-of-disguiseness:



I spent HOURS completing this disguise. You seriously can't recognize me, can you? I know! IT'S PERFECT! The disguise is complete with: bulky, unflattering parka to hide my features and 'assets', a pair of ugly sunglasses that a blind person might wear, a big pink bucket to wear on my head, and a fake tattoo on my leg that I drew in with sharpie marker. I could totally be someone else! So, with my supplies and disguise, I ran out into the night.

Everything was going great: I was stealthily jumping from bush to bush in the entrance courtyard and only tripped seven times in the process, and I was just about to leave when I ran right into the WALL of DOOM. It was thirty five feet tall, made entirely of brick, and topped with menacing curli-cues of barbed wire. What did I do when I saw this? Did I laugh? No? Did I cry? A little bit. Did I scream in surprise like a little girl? Absolutely.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! -Sora

Right about them was the time that I heard the campus police somewhere across the yard.

Campus police! Don't move! -???
EEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Dang it! The po-po's on to me! *leaps up into the air and tries to fly away* -Sora

Right about then, a teacher came out of the building and added to the chaos.

ACK! It's a student! We've got another runner! DON'T LET HER GET AWAY! -???
You'll never catch me! *hides in tree* -Sora
Miss! Come down from the tree immediately or we will remove you by force. -???
You'll never take me alive! O.O *clings to tree* -Sora
*shrugs* Okay, force it is. *shoots Taser* -???
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAppppppppppppppp
*falls pathetically out of tree* -Sora

I'll tell you what, VF: Getting tased HURTS! When you were a kid, did you ever do something stupid like stick a fork in an electrical socket? I never have (and I don't think you have either, because you're a book) but I imagine it'd be kind of like that. Except... you know, you get shot. Oh, and guess what I found out when I fell to the ground?

Son of a Totoro! That hurt! -Sora
Wait... Sora is that you? -???
What are you talking about? I'm not Sora. My name's.... um... So-rren. Yep. I'm Sorren- the exchange student! Look! I even have a tattoo -Sora
Sora, you drew that with a sharpie marker. It's smearing. -???
O.O LIES! Wait... Zeus? -Sora

Oh, the stuff of nightmares: MY DATE JUST SHOT ME DOWN FROM A TREE WITH A TASER! My. Life. Is. Over.

Oh my Avian... you've got to be kidding me. ._. -Sora
Well, hi, Sora! wow, this is awkward. -Zeus
*runs up* Stupid delinquent students *pant pant* Making me run across campus *pant* Anyway, thanks Zeus. -Teacherface
No problem sir, any time. ^-^ -Zeus
*pant* Wait a minute... SORA?! :O This is an outrage! How dare you try to run away when you are the STAR of my production! I could have you suspended for this! -Teacherface
But sir, if you suspend me I can't be in the musical. -Sora
You're right... I can't risk that with the talent scouts coming in to watch us... not to mention all of my college friends who said I'd never amount to anything. *ah-hem* Anyway, I'll just forbid you from going to the dance that starts in a half hour. That's the least I can do. -Teacherface
WHAT?! Sir, you can't! D: I've been so looking forward to that dance! I got a makeover to get a date and bought a dress and everything! -Sora
Didn't look like you were going to go anyway. You were trying to RUN AWAY! -Teacherface
Uh, sir. If you'll allow me to argue, I think you should let her go. -Zeus
o_e Why? -Teacherface
Because she's my date and you owe me *raises eyebrow* -Zeus
Gr... fine. Take your girl and go waltz around in the gymnasium. I'm going home. -Teacherface
I thought you were chaperoning. -Zeus
I didn't think schools chaperoned student events anymore. -Sora
Yeah, what she said. *walks away* -Teacherface

Well.... I'm going to the dance? BUT AFTER THAT I'M LEAVING! THIS IS MY LIFE!
