Tuesday 13. May.

Some weeks ago Lurtz asked me for a little favor. He wanted to know, if the Swaggers would be able
to help him and the Militia out, with a 'Surprise Party' for Esca. Lurtz and the others believed, it was
time to show Escaflowne how much they appriciated his hard work for Vesper.

I didn't think much about the suggestion, cause Esca is also a good friend of mine and to be honest
I believe that if someone deserve a whole day dedicated to him or her - It surely would be Esca.

So everytime the Militia had a moment without theire Captain, they were found busy planning the
upcomming event - "Escaflowne Day". The day itself was planned out to be Monday, 5. May.

So the day came and everyone had everything ready. The Swaggers were extra stocked up with Vesperian Red
and ofcause everyone had bearhats.
People began gathering inside the Swaggers - Under the cover of a 'Militia Secret Training'
and then we began to wait for Esca..


So after Esca found out, who had been planning it all - He got himself a new shirt, in the Vesper's red
and ofcause a card, where everyone had signed. And then we moved on to the diffrent entertainments...

I must say - What surprised me the most was Elliot Heath demonstrating the rules for the 'Rum Stool' game.
Oh My Gawd! The Man that always order himself a pitcher with water actually downed a bottle of rum,
faster than someone can say 'Welcome to the Swaggers!"
I am shocked! Who would have thought Ellie had a secret passion for rum and beeing able to hide it so well!
Oh My Gawd! I was almost speakless!


After everyone was more tipsy - Specially Lurtz, who went under the table as the first one!
Heath opend the portal to some bagball field in good ol' Felucca.

However the bagball, wasn't exactly as I thought it would be.. I mean were were kicking to a bear-hat.
Esca and Van picked the teams and man did the team I was on, having our arse whooped big time
- Yeeeeeeees Sir!


Oh well, it was a grand laugh and that is what matters.

Regarding my lovelife... Ugh! I'm so skateing thin ice.
Even though I'm suppose to be Drew's lass... I spend more and more time with Elliot.

First it started out rather innocent, with a picnic and a empty fishbowl...


... And when Drew heard about it - His jealousy made him explode in rage!
I swear it, I have never seen Drew be that angry before. He was drinking heavily and ended up throwing
the empty bottles through the window to the office, while he was shouting and curseing Elliot to
the inner circle of the abyss..

I begged them both to stop - But it only worked on Elliot cause Drew was in rage.
I think, Elliot would have casted spells, if I didn't ask him not to..
Drew tried several of times to attack Elliot, but Ellie managed to hit Drew's axes out of his hand and then useing
the spell, that would freeze Drew's legs. In the end - Drew withdraw leaving me behind with Elliot.


Elliot wasn't much for leaving me alone with Drew, as he was worried sick that Drew would attack me
in his rage. I keept telling Ellie, that he shouldn't be so worried and that I wasn't scared of Drew.

Truth be told - I actually am afraid of Drew - Cause he aint exactly the person that got with a reputation of beeing
"Goodie-Two-Shoes".

I managed to calm Drew down and even though things were a little tense between Ellie and Drew.
They could sit in the same room without trying to kill eachother..

So the day after, Elliot came to me with another present..
This time, it was this cute statue of a mouse... I searched for the right place for it together with Ellie.


So after a while, we managed to find the perfect place for the Mouse..


So far, Ellie have showered me with presents, a golden necklace with a sapphire in and matching bracelet, earrings, a red dress
he had made for me.. Unlimitied tips - That I can pick myself from his bag and a key to his house..

Even though, I knew the key would be dangerous - I accepted it.
And just as I feared... The innocent flirts turned into a burning desire I wasn't strong enough control..


Drew and I went to the 'Couple & Pair Competition' in Stonekeep. The Competition were fun enough
but I also realized, that I don't know Drew that well...

I can't help to think about - if Drew and I can patch up the shards, if I ever dare to come clean with him..
I feel rather lousy with the way, I have been towards him.. Part of me wanna come clean and the other part don't.
If our relationship were meant to be - Would I really have done what I did with Elliot and apparently have a rather
eager Aran waiting on the sideline?

I was actually surprised, that Aran seems able to look right through me...Interresting... Interresting indeed.

A question that haunts my mind though
With Aran beeing able to read me like a open book, how is he gonna use it
- If he plans on useing it..?
