[ Since her "return," Xion has been staying in temporary New Feather accommodations as she gets her bearings. She's had a lot on her mind... a lot of thoughts and fears. She goes to sleep the night of the 19th thinking everything will be the same tomorrow... and the next day, and the day after that. Whatever she was before... this is her life now.

Of course, that's not the case when she wakes up. Which she does with a yelp when she discovers her clothing is too small and pulls in all the wrong places. And her hair is longer, and-- and-- ]

Oh, no. Oh, my gosh--

[ That's all her journal, conveniently open as ever, catches before she slams it shut and races off toward home. Toward Luke.

Once she's met up with him and apologized until she was blue in the face and possibly cried a little, she takes off to Seventh Heaven. There is a certain chef she needs to see and hug and hug and hug until they both feel better.

Finally, once all that is done, she takes to the journals once more. ]

... I can't believe what just happened to me. I know I'm not the first one, but... it was so strange. Being young all over again... not having any memories of this place. They're such precious memories to me... and I think I realized something. I know how a lot of people here feel about Luceti, and the Malnosso, and the war...

But I'm grateful for this place. [ Gently. ] It's given me everything I could never have.... everything important and wonderful to me is here. Well... almost everything. [ Oh, Axel. ] But... I never want to leave. I never, ever want to go home. Not when everything important is here...

I'm glad. I'm glad I'm still here. I'm -- I'm sorry if that makes anyone angry to hear. I know it probably sounds really strange... [ She smiles, warm and sad at once. ] But this is my world now.

[ She ends the broadcast there... or seems to. In fact, she's got a number of messages to get out. ]

( Suki | 100% )

Hey, Suki... I don't think you remember me, but my name is Xion. I need to talk to you... about the Kyoshi warriors.

( Luke Skywalker | 100% )

... hi, Luke. I remember everything now. Thank you for being so kind to me. I could... probably clear some things up now, if you still wanted to know.

( Wreck-It Ralph | 100% )

I'd -- really like to talk to you. I think... I have something really important that I should tell you.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Right now I'm just at home. Maybe I can meet you somewhere nearby?

Um... the only thing I can think of that's near there is the barracks! [ She laughs. ] We can meet there... or maybe in the plaza might be better. Which would you prefer?

The barracks is just fine. I'll see you soon.

Okay. Thanks, Suki.

[ Xion, cheater that she is, will portal into the barracks just to get there first. She's a little nervous and wants some time to collect herself before meeting up with the other girl. ]

[Well, Suki takes a bit longer because she has to walk. When she does show up, she's a bit surprised to see Xion there.]

Oh! I didn't realize you were close by.

... um. Sorta. [ A sheepish smile. ] Anyway, thanks for coming. ... so ... the reason I called you here....

[ She takes a deep breath. ] ... you were here before. And ... you set up the Kyoshi warriors. [ With a small, shy smile. ] I was one of your students. For over a year, actually... you were the best teacher. But then... one day... you disappeared.

[ She sobers, remembering. Sitting with Sokka as he burned the things they'd shared, in silence and sorrow. ]

I ....

[ ... she clasps her hands and then wrings them nervously. ]

... I couldn't just ... let the group disband. [ ... a deep breath, and then all in a rush ] I took over. I've been heading the Kyoshi warriors for -- for months. I... I wanted to know .... if you wanted it back.

[At first, Suki was going to ask if Xion was alright. She just seemed so nervous that it made Suki nervous. But then the words hit her. Someone else was leading the Kyoshi Warriors now?

There was a part of Suki that was honored. Someone here liked the Kyoshi Warrior's ways so much to keep it going? That was too amazing for words. But then she realized that meant they weren't her's anymore. They were Xion's.]

Oh... [She crossed her arms, feeling confused and that nervousness Xion was feeling.] So you're their leader now?

[Suki didn't want to take the group away from the other, but she was the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors. That was her titled, and she worked so hard to get it. Taking it away from Xion just felt wrong, but not being the leader hurt her too.]

... yes. [ She bites her lip, then forces herself to take a breath and stops fidgeting so nervously. She needs to be strong, here. ]

But... it's never been the same without you, Suki. I took over just because I didn't want it to disappear. But I would be really happy if you decided to come back.

I'd really love to be part of it again. It is kinda who I am, but I don't want to take it away from you either.

[Now Suki was nervous. But not being the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors? It would break her heart.]

I want you to have it. [ She smiles. ] I was only taking care of it for you while you were gone.

Well, I'll need help getting to know all the members again. Who is part of it anyway?
