Dear Diary,
I have not written to you in a long time, but I have to tell you what happened. Baby Lily and Auntie Blue were taken by some bad men. I don’t know why they did that. Mommy said that some people are just mean. I hope they get in trouble for it and that they go to jail for a very long time.
It was a really bad week. And scary. :( :( :(
Mommy cried a lot. I know she tried to hide it a ‘cause she’d always wipe her face really fast when I came in the room, but her eyes were always red and she wouldn’t eat. Said her stomach was nervous. One time, I saw her sitting in Lily’s room holding her blankie and just rocking and crying all by herself. I didn’t know what to do so I cleaned my room up real pretty. I thought that might cheer her up.
Daddy stopped smiling. He usually smiles a lot and picks me up and twirls me around when he comes home from work, but he didn’t go to work and he mostly stayed in his office talking on the comm and watching the news. And then he got all his guns out and started cleaning them. I didn’t even know he had so many guns! I wanted to look at them and he yelled at me. He never yells, but I think he must have had a nervous stomach like Mommy because he said he was very, very sorry and hugged me for a long time after that.
Aunt Barb came and went a lot doing in-vest-er-gating with her contacts and she even practiced her lightsaber some. It’s a different color from Uncle Cade’s and it’s pretty, but she said it was too dangerous for me to hold. Then she tried to make Mommy feel better and I don’t think it worked, but I think Mommy was really glad she was here.
Uncle Cade was quiet, which is weird for him. He mostly stayed in his room trying to find Auntie Blue using the Force. She must have been too far away, tho.
I met Mommy and Daddy’s friend Mr. Bikoura. He’s a Mando-lorian and he always wears his armor. Even around the house. He scared me at first, but then he let me play with a miniature Krayt dragon named Ka'ra. She’s sweet. I didn’t see him much after that a ‘cause he and Barb and Daddy would sit in the study for hours looking at the comm and talking.
That’s when Uncle Obi came over. :) He’s soooooooo handsome. Don’t tell anyone, Diary, but I wanna marry him some day. That has to be our secret tho.
And you can’t tell anybody about this next part, neither, but --- Uncle Obi says I have the Force.
I can’t asplain it, but I had dreams about Baby Lily and I could tell when she was sad or happy. I had a really BAD dream one night that she was all alone in the dark and that she was cold and hungry and scared and it didn’t go away when I woke up. It made me feel sick to my tummy and Uncle Obi had to use the Force to make it go away.
That’s when he said I had it too.
I don’t really want it. It scares Mommy and Mr. Bikoura said someone would come find me if I had it. Mommy said that she and Daddy would protect me, but I just wanted the bad feelings about Baby Lily to go away. And the headaches. I got bad headaches when I got bad feelings.
Day-before-yesterday, we got news from a police detective about where Baby Lily and Auntie Blue might be. That’s when things went nuts with everybody running around and packing things in Daddy’s ship. Mommy left all kinds of destructions for Uncle Obi ‘cause he was gonna stay and take care of me.
Daddy even put his armor on. It’s different from Mr. Bikoura’s and he didn’t put the hat on because he thought it might scare me. When I kissed him goodbye, his face was all prickly. I guess he was in a hurry and forgot to shave his whiskers, but I didn’t mind.
Mommy hugged me and cried and I promised to be good.
Then me and Uncle Obi waved goodbye to them and went back into the house to wait. He said I could stay home from school the next day because my head was hurting and we did my work in the kitchen. And then I taught him how to make Mommy’s sugar cookies. He did real good with the cooking. I knew he would. He’s good at lots and lots of things. <3
I had a good dream about Baby Lily that night but my head was still hurting when I woke up, so I didn’t say anything about it. Uncle Obi and I were getting ready to make chocolate chip cookies when the best thing ever happened!
Can you guess?
Mommy called to say they’d found Baby Lily and Auntie Blue and that they were coming home! :D :D :D I’m not supposed to run and jump in the house, but I couldn’t help it!! I knew they would find them! My Mommy and Daddy can do anything!
I’ve gotta go now, Diary. I was saving my allowance for a new hologame, but Uncle Obi said he’d take me shopping to buy Baby Lily some new toys and something pretty for Auntie Blue.
Your friend,
