[Over the course of the past few days, Sheena's done some thinking. And out of all of it comes the most important thing: She needs to apologize. So she picks up a pen and starts writing and signing everything "Sheena".]

[Filtered to Cloud]
Hey, Cloud? Are you still here? You haven't gone home or anything have you? If you haven't, do yourself a favor. When you're in the castle, make sure there are no nutcrackers around. And if you see someone coming--RUN!!--even if you don't see any. Those things are behind the outbreaks of random kissing.

[Filtered to Ino]
Hey. Ino. I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't mad at you when we talked. It's just that Zelos has been doing things like that to me for a long time. Did you know the pervert once tried to peek on me in the shower? [It's a good thing she's writing this, otherwise, she'd be yelling instead of pressing harder from anger.]
So, yeah, I just thought you might want to know that.

[Filtered to Lloyd & Colette]
I'm going to be staying at the castle for a while. I've brought Yeleurk and my plants with me, so there's no need to worry. I just need to get away from the house for a while, but I'll be back.
[/]

[Second Filter to Colette]
Would you like to get together some time and talk? Maybe go shopping for clothes? And maybe you can tell me what this whole Christmas thing is about? [Maybe spending time with her cheerful friend would help.]
[/]

[She starts the next one, but immediately crosses it out.]

[Filtered to Zelos]

[Nope. Not right now. She's still too mad--at him, AND herself. That's why she's staying at the castle. She can't put Lloyd and Colette through that anguish.

The next one's probably the hardest, but it has to be done. Taking a deep breath, she plunges forward.]

[Filtered to Once-ler]
I wouldn't blame you if you hated me, Once-ler for what I put you through. It wasn't right for me to do that--or try to convince you otherwise. Maybe it was the magic still lingering in the air--I don't know, but you have the right to live your life the way you want. Alone if you want. I wasn't kidding when I said I didn't want to lose our friendship, but I'll understand if it happens.
Really, you don't have to worry about me acting like that again. Unless it's the castle's doing. Then I give you permission to hit me with that boot.

[Sheena]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'd be lying if he said he wasn't relieved. Glad she's finally seen some SENSE and decided to back away, leave him to himself. How it was supposed to be. He's just glad she realised this before she got herself into a situation where he could hurt her.

There's a touch of disappointment, of course. But he knows it's ultimately for the best]

We'll be fine. [Probably] And yeah. Alone is what I want. [Well, it's not really what he wants, but it's what he deserves. But he won't voice that because it'll just make her argue that fact]

[Once-ler] [Written]

[ninjainviolet]

[And she'll be lying if she said this ISN'T hurting her, but that's how she is. She doesn't want to be a burden to anyone and still hides that pain she feels away from them.

She's disappointed, too, but it has to be done in order to bring peace to everyone involved. At least he's not getting a nutcracker to the noggin...]

No doubt we will. [She always is, isn't she?] Yeah. I can't go against what you want. [One day, she's going to be selfish and think entirely of herself for a change. But that day's not now. And truthfully, probably never will.]

[Sheena forever]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He's quiet for a while, mulling things over, trying to decide what else to say. He'd leave it at that, but he knows he needs to say something, anything, to let her know that they're still okay. That she hasn't lost another friend]

You doing okay?

[Once-ler forever]

[ninjainviolet]

[Thinking that the friendship is lost, she's on the verge of closing the journal when he responds, making her jerk slightly in reflex.

Picking up her pen, she writes back.]

Yeah. Like always. How about you?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He's quiet again, because really he's never okay. Not properly. And it has nothing to do with this kissing mess, either]

I'm...

It's not a bad day?

Sheena.

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Random kissing... Well, well, isn't this ominous? Specially if it's the first thing you get to read after two weeks of avoiding the journal...

He doesn't write back, but speaks instead because wherever he is, he's not getting up to grab a pen.]

Don't worry. I'm not in the castle. [And she's the only person he's told so far.]

[Cloud] [Written]

[ninjainviolet]

[He has no idea. Burning nutcrackers, wooden dolls used as weapons...

Sorry, Cloud, she's still writing because, well, she needs to do that right now.]

You're not? Oh. You're in town?

[He mentioned about staying in town to her as a pony, so maybe he decided to.]

Sheena; written

[shrugs_a_lot]

[More writing, huh? It feels weird to speak in response to written stuff, so he takes a bit to look into his things for a pen.]

Just around.

Who did you kiss? [She mentioned it, it's her fault.]

[Cloud] [Written] (Always)

[ninjainviolet]

[It'll be weirder hearing her right now, so this is better.]

Okay.

[She can't lie to him, but he'll think the worst of her--that she's no better than...]

A few people--

Sheena; written; forever and ever or until he gets bored

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Oh Sheena, he wouldn't think anything wrong of her for a few kisses, he's just being a bit of a troll.]

Fun times.

[Sheena]

[ino]

[it takes her a good long while to answer this filter, but --]

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

[Ino]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena actually hadn't expected to hear back from Ino, since she figured she already destroyed this friendship.

When she does, she writes back.]

No, it isn't fine. It wasn't fair to you.

[Sheena]

[ino]

I didn't think you were mad at me, though.

[Ino]

[ninjainviolet]

Oh. Okay.

I'm glad.

I found out why I couldn't find Cloud.

[Sheena]

[ino]

Oh ... ?

Sheena;

[gentleidealist]

Is... everything okay?

[Lloyd] [Written]

[ninjainviolet]

[Yeah, she's still writing, because, well... It's better that you don't hear her.]

Yeah! Everything's fine! Why wouldn't it be?

[Same Sheena, even in writing.]

Sheena; written messily

[gentleidealist]

It's just weird for you to grab your stuff from the castle, and then move back in there...

[Lloyd]

[ninjainviolet]

[Wow, Lloyd, that's some handwriting you got there. But, it does make her smile nostalgically. She's the one who didn't want some things to change.]

I didn't bring everything with me, so don't worry! [Her art supplies, however, are still at the house.]

I just brought Yeleurk and my plants because I didn't know how long I'll be, and I didn't want to leave the kitten right after getting him, and this is the first time I've ever tried anything like this with the plants.

[Honest!]

Sheena; NOT EVEN SORRY

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd is gullible but he still thinks she's acting kind of weird, just taking off like that. Whatever-- she's a ninja and everyone needs their alone time.]

Alright. Let us know if you need anything.

Sheena

[selfless]

[oh nooo, moving out? That pings Colette, she's a bit worried... But of course, if that's what Sheena needs to do, that's what she needs to do. Anyway, she'll ask sheena about it later, first things first...]

Of course, I'd love to spend time with you! Going shopping sounds like a lot of fun.

[it's not really Colette's thing, but spending time with a friend always = THE BEST]

[Colette] [Written]

[ninjainviolet]

[It's only temporary, Colette. She can't be there right now. And yes, she's aware she's running away from her problem, but that's only temporary, too, as she tries to figure out what to do.]

Okay! When and where should we meet?

[It's not Sheena's, either, but see Colette's reason above.]

[Sheena, Written]

[selfless]

Any time is good for me! Would you like to go now, or sometime soon? I won't be busy today.

[Colette] [Written]

[ninjainviolet]

How about right now? I'm not busy today, either.

[Sheena, Written]

[selfless]

Okay, that sounds perfect! I'll come to the front of the castle, so we can meet up there?
