Archer- 

I walk into my basement, smiling at Blaine and Jeremy. "Hey guys, are you ready to jam?" They both grinned and nodded, and I picked up my guitar. Blaine tapped out the beat on her drums and we started playing Colony house's song, roll with the punches.

We walk through the fire, day after day
Search for the answers, fight for a way
But when it makes no sense inside our heads

Our hearts start playing games

When we finish the song I give everyone hi fives "that sounded awesome guys, but now I'm hungry, anyone want a snack?"

Blaine-

"I'm starving, I never thought you would ask" I set down my drum sticks and rush up the stairs, calling back over my shoulder "come on slow pokes." They follow me, laughing. I walk over to the fridge and open it, grabbing a popsicle.

"Glad you made yourself at home" Archer said, grinning and punching me lightly on my shoulder. I laugh and sit down, leaning my chair back and resting my feet on the counter. Jeremy sat down next to me, pushing my feet aside with a grin. 

"Excuse me ma'am, I don't want to smell your feet thank you." I mock frown "how dare you insinuate that my feet stink."

"Insinuate? Wow, that's quite the big word for you to use." "I guess you rubbed off on me."

Jeremy-

I grin and shake my head. They always tease me for my big words, but the truth is, I really like words, not that I'm all that great at using them when I'm with people I don't know. "I guess I did" I sit back, staring through the skylight, lost in my own thoughts. The beginning words for a song I'm writing play through my head.

There's a world inside me, that I just can show

A universe so infinite, that I can never know

If there's something missing, like tiny puzzle piece,

is there something that i'm missing, that will turn out to be the key

"Hey, your popsicle is melting all over the floor!" Blaine cuts into my thoughts, jerking me back to a sticky reality. I grin sheepishly and grab some paper towel to clean up. 

~Abcde~

I walk into my house, glad to have this time away from all the people. I should have been on this thread a long time ago. Sometimes it is a relief to cast away my armor of confidence and cheerfulness and just be me.

I glance around me at our new house. It is a sweet little cottage by a pond. Rayne chose the place: a secluded clearing in the forest. I made a show of protesting. I said that I couldn't live in a place that is so far from other AEs. It must be some five or ten minutes to the nearest house. But really, I am glad to have a little place to call home, a place that I can do whatever I want in without being bothered by other people.

The whole house is rather crazy. Grace did the interior decorating, and she is very. . . creative. She did manage to get most of it all right though. Although her bedroom is insane. Every single wall has a different type of wallpaper: flamingos, flowers, stripes, and leaves. She has a pink fluffy pouf chair, which is quite lovely and modern, and an antique wardrobe. Rayne's room is the opposite. Everything is black and white and tidy. Except under his bed, but I'm not going to go into details.

My room, though, is perfect. It has many bookshelves, and a little desk with my computer and plenty of nooks and crannies.

I sprawl on my bed, and plug in my headphones. After moving day, it is finally time for me to relax. I turn on the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack, and lie down. After a few minutes, I am lulled to sleep by the comforting sound of Christine's airy melodies and the Phantom's mournful ones.

~Rayne~

I watch as Abcde races through the house and into her room. I love Abcde's room, and Grace's too. They are safe havens for them, places full of color and personality. Not like my room. My room is neat and tidy. Everything is black and white. I like black and white because they look clean and tidy. But they also have no personality. Like me. I am just the shy boy who stands in the corner, surrounded and overshadowed by my colorful sisters who can light up any room that they enter. Nobody notices me beside Grace and Abcde.

I shake the gloomy thoughts from my mind. There's no point moaning over things that I cannot change. I walk into the kitchen. Grace's kitchen. Every aspect of the room is brimming with Grace-ness. The mismatched furniture, the colorful walls and floors, the scent of baking cookies and Tofurky that already hangs in the room. I open up the refrigerator and grab an apple. There's nothing better than eating an apple while reading a book and sitting in a tree. Abcde teases me about my love for classical romance novels written by long dead women. She says that boys aren't supposed to read and love Jane Austen or Charlotte Brontë. But for once, I don't care what Abcde says. I can read Jane Eyre if I want to. I can sit in the high branches of trees while eating red russet apples if I want to. It's my life, not hers, and I can choose how to live it.

I wander out into the woods, holding my precious booty. This is my third time reading Jane Eyre, and, even though I know exactly what happens, I get a thrill every time I read it. There's something so beautiful in the story and in the words that are used to tell it. At last, I have reached my destination. I climb up into a slender young birch tree overshadowing a babbling brook and let out a sigh of contentment. This place, not my bedroom, is the place that I can truly call home.

~Grace~

Abcde and Rayne are gone, out in the woods, or in their bedrooms. I normally would sigh, knowing that I can't talk to either of them, but sometimes solitude can be a good thing. I wander into the kitchen. My kitchen. Despite my siblings' protests, the kitchen is, without a doubt, my domain. And on days like today, moving day, when my entire world is shaken up and placed on its head, there is nothing I can do except bake lemon cookies. The sour sweetness of my favorite recipe just sits well with me on days like today. I have a cookie recipe for every emotion that I feel. I see the world in terms of baked goods. Chocolate chip cookies, molasses cookies, gingersnaps and macarons.

And today calls for lemon cookies, a celebration for the new house, and a longing for our own home. Days like this are what makes life truly meaningful, days where you ponder your own life and your right to existence.

I shake my head, clearing the profound thoughts my mind. I don't think when I bake. I just do. Humming quietly, I grab the ingredients for the cookies. Lemon juice, sugar, flour. Hardly even thinking about it, I put a record into my old, vintage phonograph. Cate le Bon, my favorite song artist. Besides Beethoven, of course. My siblings don't understand why my two favorite artists are polar opposites: the most classical of classical music and then an extremely alternative rock. What they don't understand is that it is the contrast that draws me to their music. Just like the contrast in lemon cookies.

Okay. I have decided that I officially love this thread. Already, after just one post, I have fleshed out each of my AEs so much. I know that Rayne loves to read classical romances and that Grace loves to bake and listens to classical music and indie rock. I think I'll try to write entries for my AEs every day, although I won't post them all.

Thank you, Admins, for reading my long comment. You're the best! 

You are most welcome! --Admin

Penny's Diary

Moving day! It's so fun to move into a different house. I already set up my room, helped Cem set up her room, tried to get Star to let me help, and applauded Tofix for doing it all by himself. So now I'm writing in here! Jubi bought me this diary with her very own money at the Æ shop. It's pink with unicorns and very lovely. She bought Star, Cem, and To their own diarys, but Star calls her a "journal", Cem's is a "notebook", and Tofix's is a "chooing toy." Hahaha! They all know that they're actually diarys but they wont admit it. Let me tell you about my room. It is very choatic and beutifull. I have a orange and pink hammock, which is very relaxing, and there are pictures of me and my siblings taped to the wall next to it. There is a light blue couch, and a spinny, furry, light baby pink chair. It's hard to explain. I forgot to mention the random mess on the floor. Well that's all for now, Diary! 

XOXO,

Penny

Hi, journal. I guess if I'm going to "talk" to you, I should give you a name. Hmm. Maybe...Molly. Yeah. Molly. Hi Molly.

Today is moving day. I said we should have a home far away from the other Æs, but I was outvoted. So now we're living in a cramped apartment. Why Cem, Star, and Tofix would want to live here, I don't know. But at least I got the biggest room since I didn't get the home I wanted. Penny has the next largest room, but she put so much stuff in it, now she has even less space than Tofix, who's "room" is actually a closet. He doesn't mind, though. l_l My room is very neat and orderly. I have a big bed with amber blankets and very pale blue walls, except for the modernist art prints that I hung. I have a white desk with a simple but modern stool, a few hanging bookshelves, and a white couch. It's all very posh. Welp, I think I'm going to go visit Coral with some flowers. 

Farewell, Molly.

Cem's Awesome and Fantastic Notebook

I just finished decorating my new room. Finally, we have a house like all the other Æs! I hear Star pattering down the thin hallway. "Bye! I'm going out! See you guys later!" Hehe... there's only one place she'd be going with a bouquet of pink flowers... SHE'S GOING TO CORAL'S HOUSE! Eeeee that's so cute! My lil' sis, with a girl friend! I wonder if she'll bring Coral over for dinner sometime. Hmm. I'm hungry. AND bored. I step into the kitchen to get something to eat. I throw open the pantry doors. Oooh, rice cakes! I grab the pack and get some peanut butter and a knife. Sitting down, I grab one of the books Jubi's reading and look at the cover. "Your Name Is A Song." Hm. I open it and start reading. Ew, it smells weird. 

^-^Tofix's Diary^-^

^-^Yayaya! It's moving day! My room is a closet, but that's fine. I bet I'll be too big for it in a few months though. I'm growing so big! I open the door and step out. Where are all my sisters? I peek in the kitchen. There's Cem. "Cemmy!" She looks disgusted. "Don't call me that, Toey." Haha! "Then don't call me that!" "It's a deal," she says. "Do you know where Star is?" "Yeah, she went to Coral's." We both giggle mischeveusly. "Okay, bye!" "Bye," she says, not listening. I bang into Penny's room. "Hey, wanna play checkers?" 

End of my Æs accountings.  

Cem's Awesome and Fantastic Notebook

I wrote some poetry! Here's my favorite piece:

Isn't that SO depressing and mature? Oh, Penny got in trouble with Jubilee! Now she's grooouuunnn-deddd!

Penny Packer :( 

:( :( :( :(

Hi, Diary. :(

Yesterday I was asking Star if she wrote anything in her dia-journal. She flushed and said no, so I knew she had. So when she went over to Coral's, I snuck into her room and searched for her journal. After a long time, i finnaly found it in her dresser, next to her endlesss array of tights. I opened and started to read, but I didn't get two far because Stargirl came back and caught me. She got all red in the face and shook me. Then she yelled for Jubi and then Jubilee came and got all mad at me because I "invaded Stargirl's privacy" and that was "unnaceptable". (It was really just because Stargirl is her favortite. >:P) So now I'm groundedd and I'm not even allowed to watch The Masked Singer for a week! How am I going to find out who Miss Monster is? 

>:( This is so unfar.

Here come my AEs...watch out.

ZINNIA'S NOTEBOOK THAT EVERYONE CAN READ SO IS IT REALLY A DIARY? IDK

HELLO NOTEBOOK,

TODAY I LISTENED TO A TON OF BEYONCE MUSIC, AND NOW THAT'S STUCK IN MY HEAD...FOREVER...HELP. LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE DID I DO. AH YES! I ATE FOOD, INCLUDING A SANDWICH...UGH THIS IS SO BORING. NOTHING HAPPENS IN MY LIFE BECAUSE OF QUARANTINE. I'M GONNA GO BANG MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL. BYE

-ZINNIA

Sunflower's Diary

Dear Diary,

Zinnia's banging her head against a wall. WHY did Lupine insist on giving me a bedroom right next to hers?? Oh jeez, the wall is trembling. I'm gonna go yell at her to stop.

Okay, done. Well, today I had to pull Lavender and Zinnia apart several times, they keep getting in fights. I think that they're getting really sick of each other because they have to stay at home together all the time. I tried to get them to come to the river with me and Lupine, but they were too lazy. I am so tired of babysitting them all the time!

Thanks for listening to me complaining,

~Sunflower

Lavender's Journal

Zinnia has been getting on my nerves a lot. She's so loud and rowdy! She literally bounces off the walls. I swear I heard her banging her head against the wall a few minutes ago...I'm glad that Sunflower's bedroom is in between ours. Today I mostly read. I'm reading a book called The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise, and so far it's really good. I'm going to try to convince Lupine to let us get sushi takeout tonight! Hopefully Zinnia doesn't hog all of it. She does that a lot. 

I really don't want school to start.

Love, Lavender.

*sighs dreamily* I love this thread.

^-^Tofix's Diary!^-^

^-^Hi Diaryy! Well thats all I have to say. Bye!^-^

Stargirl

Hello Molly. It's me again. I need to get out. I think I'm going to take a walk. 

I head out the door, pausing to grab one of Cem tight fitting sweatshirts. Luckily I'm small, so it's not so TINY on me. "Bye!" I holler. Cem is waving me out when she notices that I have her hoodie. "Oh no you don't! Not with MY sweatshirt!" I protest. "It doesn't even fit you," I say calmly. Penny comes in the hallway and starts recording. "Say hi to the cameras, Cem!" Cem goes to knock the cam out of Penny's hands, freeing me from her grasp. Penny winks, and I think it's her way of apologizing. Taking the steps two at a time, I finally burst out onto the sidewalk. I spot Song.  "Hey," I whisper. Not that they heard me. I'm just praticing for when I have to talk... to PEOPLE... someday... I shake my head. Never mind that. Coral. Think about Coral. I wish I was with her. She's so pretty and smart. I remember the first time we met. PENNY IF YOU ARE READING THIS I WILL PERSONALLY  DESTROY YOU. ...I pick up a flower and tuck it behind my ear. This is so peaceful. What if I just kept walking...
