I knew she was getting older, but...somehow mom never seemed like someone who could die. 

I’d just returned to the forest with Jupiter when I got the news. I traveled back to San Myshuno for the funeral. Jupe is staying with Grace and Alice - he’s too little to understand what’s going on. 

It’s hardest on Cosme, I think, because he looked after her when the rest of us had moved out. And he’s the most like her out of all of us - brash and confrontational, but really a good person deep down.

Tony didn’t just bring Callia and Martin - he brought my best friends from high school, Grace and Alice! I couldn’t believe it!

When mom said she wanted me to have a proper home, I thought she meant a place in the city - or worse, the suburbs. But that wasn’t it at all. She bought me a bit of land outside the park, deep in the woods, and everyone pitched in to help me build a small cabin there. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect home for me and Jupiter! 

I could tell that Grace and Alice didn’t want to go back to the city. Who would? So I asked them if they’d like to stay here, to live with me out in the woods, away from civilization. The words were barely out of my mouth before they were both saying yes! It’s going to be so fun to live with my two best friends.

Benny’s wedding was a blast. I was flower girl again, just like at Tony’s, and Tony was best man. My nephew Martin was the ringbearer. Jesminder looked just beautiful in her dress, like a fairy princess - Ben was so lovestruck that when he went in for the kiss, he headbutted her and the ceremony had to pause for a few minutes so she could get her balance back. 

The cake they served at the reception was the best I’ve ever had in my entire life...though honestly, Cosme had slipped me a blunt and I was pretty high, so anything would have tasted great.

(note: Flora and Cosme started smoking autonomously 😭 idek)

Dear Diary,

I’m obsessed with Lenny and the Rollers...just obsessed. How can they be so perfect! Every single one of their songs makes me smile. And they’re so handsome too...so much cuter than all the boys at my school!! I bet they’re sooo nice in person. I want to see one of their concerts more than anything in the world, but Mom thinks it’s too expensive. 

Benny and Tony don’t get it at all...they don’t even like their most famous songs! But Cosme understands. We talk about them all the time.

Dear Diary, 

I went on a solo hike at the park today, and came across some hippies protesting against the planned construction at the park. The government is going to build new roads and lodges, and that means cutting down trees. They told me all about how old these trees are, and how important they are for the forest, and asked if I wanted to join their cause. Of course I did!!

After a couple hours, we took a break to eat lunch (I tried tofu!) and smoke some grass. I was having a great time...until Tony showed up, looking for me. He wasn’t very happy when he saw what I was getting up to.

Ant married his sweetheart Callia in the Myshuno Meadows park. It was a beautiful ceremony - Cosme was his best man, Benny was the ringbearer, and Flora was flower girl, of course. We had a lot of fun at the reception - dancing, drinks, fantastic cake.

I can’t believe my little Antonio is married off! I’ll probably be a grandma soon enough!

(note: yes, I did bite the bullet and buy My Wedding Stories - only after most of the glitches had been patched out. Even so, it was a very fiddly pack to work with. I’m not terribly disappointed, but I’m also not terribly impressed.)

Scout Log: Tony Lobo, 08/07/196X

I earned my Keep Fit badge ages ago, but working on it showed me how good it feels to work out. And getting fitter has other benefits...girls really like it. Callia Maebey says I look like a movie star or something. We’re sort of going steady now...all thanks to Scouts.
