[ When Xion arrived back home from a grueling month-long mission, the first thing she did was not check her journal. She headed home. Home, where Luke is. He'd been there, which was wonderful.
He'd also filled her in on all that she'd missed, which wasn't so wonderful. ]
It's scary, sometimes... how much things change. I missed so much while I was gone. I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm home now.
Sometimes, I feel like I've been here such a long time... maybe because it has been a long time. It'll be three years in November... won't it? I don't remember anymore when I got here... I'm pretty sure it was November. It feels like so long ago. Like lifetimes have passed since then. I've grown up so much in this place... and so many people have come and gone. [ Kairi.
A beat. ]
I'm sorry. I shouldn't be rambling like this.
We're starting to get some New Feathers in, right? My name is Xion. I work at the clinic, I'm part of the S.O.S Brigade, and I'm head of the Kyoshi warriors. If you ever need help, you can come talk to me. I'll do anything I can.
Um... I guess I have one last thing I want to talk about. I've got a lot of points now from going on missions... what do you guys do with your points? Or what would you do, if you had them? I sort of know what I want, but I guess I'm looking for other ideas, too.
Thanks, everyone.

[voice]
My, my, Xion-chan...! Welcome back. Are you well? It's so good to hear from you again.
[voice]
How are you?
[voice]
Goodness, I never realized you were in so many clubs, though. You must be very busy.
[voice]
And, well... I dunno. I guess as time passed I just got involved with more and more things! I only work part time at the clinic, anyway. But it is pretty busy. This will probably be my last year going to school, just so I have more time for everything else.
[voice]
My, my, so you're a senior already...? [No, Azusa. That's not how it works.] You'll have to work hard this year before you graduate.
[voice]
Um... I don't think there are grade levels. You just go as long as you want to... I think. I always have more to learn, but... it might be better if I kept learning on my own! School takes up so much time. I appreciate it so much, but... like you said, I'm very busy! [ She laughs a little. ] I wouldn't mind being a little less busy.
[voice]
Ah, is that how it is? I've been teaching someone on my own for a while now, but I don't think I'm anywhere near as good as a teacher. I wonder if he'd like to go to school, too...
[voice]
And I bet you're a great teacher, Azusa. But maybe you should ask him! You never know. Then again, most of the other kids don't seem to like it so much... I guess some people find it boring.
[voice]
I don't think he's from a world where they have schools, really. He said he's never been to one... What kind of things do you learn at the one here, though? I could try teaching him some of what everyone else is learning.
[voice]
Um, you learn a lot of things! Science, math, writing, the history of other worlds, some magic... There's art and music, too. And gym! Though I never really needed that one...
[voice]
I can't really recall...but the last time I went, it was very...dark.
My, my...! That's a wonderful idea, Xion-chan! I'll teach Caius how to sing! [Even Xion should know Azusa is an idol, given the Brigade kind of uses that.]
[voice]
[ That gets a giggle. ] That's great! I like singing too, actually. [ Not widely known; she rarely mentions it. ] So Caius is his name? How do you know him?
Re: [voice]
Caius-kun and I met because we were talking about camping, but I started talking with him about other things, too. He's a very good friend of mine.
[voice]
Camping? I think I've only ever gone camping once... it just seemed kind of silly, with the village nearby. [ Missing the point. ] I guess you both must really like it!
