This journal will be a record of everything that is important.  I have never kept one before but our lives are so different now, I think it is time to start.  It will be interesting to look back and read about the things that have happened to me and Sedaris.  I might not write everyday, but I will definitely write if I have something to say. If I cannot, I will rely on the computer to relay the events as chronicled.  Mother once told me it would be a good experience for me to record my thoughts and when I grew older, to see what I thought back then.  I have never wanted to talk to someone more than now.

All that said, onto my journal.

Entry:   The day started like most days did.  Sedaris and I had breakfast and went to classes.  It was such a nice day outside that Mother allowed Sedaris and I to do our homework in the gardens.  Mojo-Na and Max played in the grass as we worked on our history.  Mother and Father were in the antechamber.  Bits of the conversation carried throughout the garden and they were arguing about something about the company.  We were curious so we decided to sneak back into the classroom.  I watched for Mother and Father as Sedaris checked the news reports.  Max kept barking so we had to stop and turn off their play scenarios.  We temporarily disabled their internal alarms so the barking would stop triggering.  We found some news on the Holonet.  It talked about problems in the past with the company but we did not understand most of it.  We heard Mother coming so we snuck back through the windows to get back outside.

Sedaris finished his work early and went inside.  I stayed outside with Mojo-Na and tried to read my astrogation assignment.  It was boring.  A while later something weird happened?  Security forces came to the house and forced their way inside.  From where I was, I could see it happening so I hid.  A few moments later, I heard Sedaris call for help.  I ran to where he was and he was standing in the front of the house.  Max was not moving.  I found out later that he was deactivated.  Mojo-Na kept barking and an officer yelled at me to shut him up before they did.  I turned off his sensors so he could be completely still.

We were taken away to a holding area and kept apart from our parents.  I was so scared but I was glad that I was not separated from Sedaris.  Grandfather came to get us and was able to get us away from there.  He told us not to worry about our parents.  He said he would sort things out but until then; we had to go with him where it was safe.  He seemed so serious.  He took us to his house and it has been such a long time since we have visited.  He lives in this huge place with droids for his main company.  It's nice but not like our home.  I wish I knew what was going on and so does Sedaris.

We spoke a little about what happened.  Sedaris is upset because no one will tell us anything about our parents.  Grandfather does not even seem to want to speak about it.  I've learned to stay out of his way when he has a certain look and he has that look now.  Before he went to sleep, Sedaris told me that when Max was shot, he did not call out for me.  I told him he was crazy because I heard him and that's why I came running.  He said he heard me call for him.  He doesn't want to speak to me because I said he was imagining things so I decided to come in here and do some writing.

I don't have anything else to say.  I miss home.
