You...don't mind doing house calls, do you?

Last year, I didn't think I'd get to say this, but... Happy Father's Day, Grandpa.

Has anyone seen Coronamon? I haven't seen him since the...bake sale...

...

...

...All right, who tied him up where?

These cookies are good! So glad I borrowed Ben's money for this.

...Huh. That's a lot of girls. Wonder where they're going.

...

...

...

(OOC: Coronamon took three packages of cookies, so he's got the Love Stampede. Feel free to join the Running of the Girls and torment him)

Guess we're going to have to have another race soon, aren't we?

//Attached: Speed boosters for hoverboard

Let me know if these work. I brought my hoverboard to Junk City to get these made, but I don't know how Xanatos made yours, so they might not be compatible.

And thanks for everything this past year.

(OOC: Strikes locked to Hay Lin)

Come on, Ben, you can't be tired now! It hasn't even been an hour!

It's the first time I've been able to train. You try nearly getting killed and see how much energy you've got left.

You never had to take it easy like this before. Even when we were in your world and you were fighting with the Omnitrix, you took hits and still kept at it.

I've never been hit bad enough to leave me in the hospital for two weeks before!

Okay, okay. Geez, you don't have to bite my head off.

...Sorry. I'm just frustrated. I'm not used to this either.

Huh, looks like that data freeze virus is back. Little Gwen's frozen, Charlie's frozen...

...Caleb's frozen?

...Coronamon, stop poking him.

What? It's fun!

Just remembered something everyone told me to tell you before I got back here:

Cornelia's birthday is on the 10th. Don't forget under threat of death. Her words.

I need help. It's not going to be long until the next time we get attacked, and I know I'm going to have to fight. But I keep getting hurt. I don't have the Omnitrix, and I keep forgetting that there's a lot I can't take.

I need some kind of body armor--something I can wear under my clothes or change into fast before a battle. I'm tired of ending up in the hospital all the time, and I'm not going to get caught off-guard again.

Hey, guys, Ben's coming home today! He's finally getting out of that hospital, though I think the doctors are going to kill him if he gets hurt again.

Oh, and by the way, anyone know what's up with all of the girls lately? I asked Cornelia, and she threw a flowerpot at my head.

Can I please be let out of here now?

I'm almost healed up--you said the burn was down to first degree. I'm not going to do anything too stressful, I'm not going to hurt myself, and I'll take my medicine.

Can you please turn the forcefield off my bed?

Wanted to let everyone know I'm okay. I was too drugged up on painkillers yesterday to check my D-Comm, so I don't know how much everyone knows. But Ransik and I were attacked Monday in the outskirts of the city. It was Eon--he hit me with an energy blast. Asuramon got me to the hospital while Ransik fought him off, and I don't really know what happened after that. He's got most of my weapons, though, so everyone be careful.

So basically, I've got a burn where I got hit in the chest, so I'm pretty sore right now. I'm still in the hospital for a little while, and I won't be able to go back to my normal age until the burn goes down enough that I won't end up hurting myself worse. Twenty-fourth century medicine's a big help for that at least.

//Ben's at the training grounds, fighting a Cyclobot. There is a bucket on the ground near them. As Ben starts winning, the Cyclobot kicks the bucket over at his face. Ben immediately blocks with his staff, but he sets off a small explosive in the bucket, propelling the water right at him.//



What the... NOT AGAIN!

I think we could both use a break from worrying about our friends. Up for a hoverboard race?

[after this]

I know Gwen's calmed down, but... I don't want to think that whatever we try to help Kevin won't work, but if things don't go as planned...

When we were trying to stop the Highbreed invasion, we ended up fighting two of them in their control tower. The Commander and I had a feud going for the past few weeks, so I fought him alone. Gwen and Kevin got ambushed by another Highbreed. Kevin got pretty beat up, and Gwen was trying to keep the Highbreed off him. But she didn't have enough power.

The next thing I knew, the whole tower filled with pink light. Gwen's full power woke up, and she was about to lose her humanity to her Anodite side. I don't know what happened next exactly, but the next time I managed to look over, Kevin somehow managed to calm her down and get her back to normal.

I don't know if she's capable of that here or even if we'd also be able to calm her down if it did happen. But I figured you should all know, just in case.

//zooming sound

JUST made it through!

Explosions, shrieking, total chaos--we're definitely home!

So, anybody miss me?

(OOC: Spoilers for the Alien Force season 2 finale in comments)

Hey, what's that?

Some kind of portal. Coronamon, don't go near it.

Where do you think it goes?

Don't touch--

[User not found]

I know everyone's worked up about Elyon right now, but... Has anyone seen Charle in the past two days? I tried calling him when the attack happened, and I didn't get an answer, and nothing after that either.

[Not long after this]

Ransik, sorry about the Cyclobot. Matt can take it out of my pay to replace it.

I think I got all of it out of my system now.

...I'm going to kill the next person who asks me for relationship advice.

NEVER again.

...Ew.

Oh, and guys? I'm not human anymore, so can you untie me from this tree now?

All right, I got it! Eat Digisoul, wall!

HAH!

//CRASH

...Uh-oh.

(OOC: Coronamon just knocked down the wall separating the girls' and guys' baths. Have at it!)

I nearly got grounded because of you. And for something I didn't even do!

Okay, so WHEN did Ben blow up a planet? 'Cause that's just too awesome!

Coronamon's still hiding under the couch. He hasn't budged since yesterday's storm. I think he's still afraid of Hay Lin and Irma.
