Hello everybody! OMG! We're totally back! It is so absolutely fantastic to see everybody again! Look at all of you, you've grown so much since the last time I was here!

... wait, where is here again...?

Oh, yeah, Psyhigh! My favorite place EVER! Second only to Grandma Jones' house. Because she makes us pancakes with SMILEY FACES!!!!! In fact, to celebrate our return to Psyhigh, I'm going to make everybody smiley face pancakes! Come over to Dorm 2332 and I will have a huge stack of flapjacks waiting for you! Don't be surprised at my new haircut btw, the LITEE kinda had to shave some of my lovely locks off to preform the surgery.... *awkward silence* ...But one the bright side, I look totally punk rock now! *tries to look tough* Grrr... I'll steal your lunch money and go against social conventions! LOL!! So, yeah, I can't wait to see you (yes, YOU specifically!) and give you a big hug and a big pancake and then we can all be besties!!!! Won't that be great?!?!

You know, I should go bring my BFF's @Morris the Worris and @Scilphy pancakes, they're always ready for a party and unburdened by the tragedies of life!!! They'll be so happy to see me again! Besties love it when other besties show up uninvited!!!!

Today was so much fun! My roommate/sister/robo-bestie and I started summer classes this morning to catch up on all the work we missed when --

*memory malfunction*

-- when we went... what happened? Did... did we go on vacation? I... think we did... OMG, we probably went to Disney Land. AHHHHH! I LOVE DISNEY! Do you know why? Because it's the happiest place on Earth, that's why!!!!!!

Anyways, getting back to classes was amazing, there is so much homework to do! Yay! And now that I influence good AND bad luck, I need additional tutoring because my bad luck freak outs keep destroying school property! So fun! My new tutor is so nice and patient and only yelled at me to sit down and stop twirling once! Shout out to Mr. E, my BFEAE (bestie for ever and ever)! Oh, just walking around Psyhigh again is the best thing ever! You never know what you'll see or who you'll meet! Like, when Pacifica and I decided to go grab some lunch. First, we saw a vampire boy with fire in his hands climbing rooftops. SO COOL! Pacifica was all "That's dangerous. Blah blah blah. What a show-off. Grump grump grump." But I thought he was AMAZING. Then we saw something even cooler. A cat playing cards by itself! THE CAT WAS SO CUTE! I ran up and gave it a hug and it was so happy and surprised that it hissed and scratched me! When I was cuddling the screaming cat, a student appeared out of nowhere and I was so excited because who doesn't like spontaneous besties?!?! They didn't really want to talk to me, but I made them anyways. Because besties help other besties come out of their shells so they can make more besties!!!!!! They said their name was @Nobody, but nobody should be named Nobody so I've decided Nobody's nickname is Nicky! Isn't that an adorable name?!? Then Pacifica waddled over (she's a really slow robot right now. She says she hasn't adjusted to the controls. And made me give Nicky's cat back and apologize and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Then Nicky disappeared. SO COOL! Kinda reminded me of Casper from DARC--

*memory malfunction*

OUCH! *clutches head* Oh... my brain... what was I talking about? *vending machine in the hallway has all its sodas explode at once, dousing an unlucky student in soda* Oh no... I think I caused that. Ugh... never mind. I'm going to go make happy face, pink frosted, sprinkle covered cupcakes now to bring to @Scilph. I'm also bringing a tuba. Tubas are the best at waking up besties!!!! She's going to be so happy to see me!!!!!!!!!!

Another beautiful day is dawning, bringing blue skies and bright sunlight to the world!!! How can you look at this weather and be unhappy?!? *Pacifica grumbles in the backround* Oh, shush Paci! You can't even sunburn anymore!

Don't mind her, she's still grumpy about falling down yesterday! After I dropped off my cake and tuba in Morris and Scilph's room and played with a walking black box of ominous-ness, I offered to help her up but she wanted to do it herself. Good old Pacifica, always fighting! Today I bought her one of those buttons that old people get so they can call an ambulance if they fall down (LifeAlert? Something like that) and I put glitter and smiley stickers all over it to make it look more fashionable! She didn't want it though. I think I'll wear it instead, it's just so sparkly and happy!!!!

Oh, and great great great great great news! My hair is starting to grow back!!!!! My BFFFL Tulka got me in contact with one of the local witchdoctors and he whipped up a hair growth potion for me! Yay! I can't wait for my strawberry-blond curls to waterfall down my shoulders again!!! So far though, the bald patch's hair is only about three inches long... but that's three inches longer than before!! It's so exciting! Mattie and I are going to a mall to by hair products in celebration! I invited Pacifica, but she said she'd rather be impaled on a stick! Isn't she funny?

Whoa! I think I just used my good luck influence or something, a pop-up just came up on my computer! It says I'm the site's 1,000th visitor and I won a FREE FLAT SCREEN TV!!!!! *jumps up and down in glee* All I have to do is download this file and they'll send me the prize! Okey-dokey-artichokey! *click*

"Wait, Atlantica don't that's a--"

I'm out of sugar. This is an emergency. I'm out of sugar. I've been baking cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, and brownies for the past five hours, and I've run out of sugar. Do you understand me? I've RUN OUT OF SUGAR!

*Claude the cat is seen falling past Atlantica's dorm window*
Oh no! I'm so sorry kitty! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!? He's okay. He's okay! Oh no, I did it again. *half-hearted laugh* See, this is why I try not to be a sad sack like Pacifica. Sure, I can control good luck like a super duper professional, but bad luck.... It's completely out of control. How did Pacifica live with this weight over her head? That any unlucky thing that happens was probably caused by her? Whenever I cry... whenever I get mad... whenever I go nuts... there's a risk I'll cause something bad to happen to somebody.

Which is why I need more sugar! See, I'm making a baked good for every student in Psyhigh! I've talked to 93% of the student body (btw, hi @slug master and @that kid! So happy to see you here, so sorry it's at a time of chaos.) and I know almost every person's favorite dessert. When all this is over, every student will get a treat as compensation for all the trouble my best besties and I have caused! Won't that be great? But I'm out of sugar. And you need sugar. Without sugar, the sad facts of flour, raw eggs, whole milk... it just weighs on you... and tries to destroy you.... *eye twitch* But sugar distracts you! Sugar keeps you happy! Sugar helps you face all of life's problems and push on in one great sugar rush! WE NEED SUGAR. SUGAR WILL BRING PACIFICA BACK!

...I don't know where she went. She was at the computer... then on the floor... then gone... and the only thing left of her is this weird 50's diner napkin with "Watch yourself Eralonia. Love, Fortuna" written on it. I don't understand any of this, but it must be my fault... it's all my fault... *eye twitch* *Somewhere in the school there is the sound of a small explosion* Oh no! No no no no no! It's happening again! Must stay positive! Like Pacifica was before she disappeared... that was so weird....

*@Matching by Mattie frantically knocks on dorm door*

Oh no oh no oh no. Who could that be? I'm probably in trouble now... *puts on brave face* but for my besties I WILL BE STRONG! If you have sugar, please bring some to Dorm 2332. I'd offer a money reward, but Pacifica always insists on holding our money because I always give mine away to the nice beggars on the street and anyone who tells me a good pun... but I have lots of sprinkles. Maybe that would work? Like a trade, one pound of sugar for one pound of sprinkles? *sniff* Hold it together Atti... you don't want to hurt anyone else....

Hahahaha! Hi journal thingy! Is that what this is? I think so! Well, you'll be my newest bestie, journal, and now we have a barber shop quartet! Isn't that right Shiney and Buzzy? *mechanical bug sounds* Hahahahaha! You guys are hilarious!

So, I was stuck in this room for hours! Just crying and crying and making soup (because soup is the saddest of foods. Sugar only makes it taste worse.) and feeling terrible. Not to mention, my bad luck influence was tearing the dorms apart! Oops! People's doors were flying of their hinges, peregrines were dive bombing windows, everything on the walls were falling, any summer homework was spontaneously disappearing or being eaten by non-exsistant dogs... it was very un-fun! But then Quin came! Quin is my best bestie! She came in and made me forget whatever it was that was making me so miserable! And now I feel GREAT! *happy twirl* I'm playing with her babies now, because they're cute and love me! Apparently, these little robot... cyborg... bug... things... um, I'll just call them EBIB's. That sounds right for some reason! Well, they apparently feed on happiness! And Quin (or Queen? or Quince? I can't understand her.) is totally stoked that I have an unlimited supply of happiness!!!! She's popping out babies like nobody's business!

I keep feeling like I'm doing something wrong though! Isn't that weird?!? But playing with babies and being happy... this is paradise! I just can't help feeling a little... sad... whennever I see the Forever Diner logo on the EBIB's back. Huh. I'm sure it's nothing! And nowhere! Or nobody! *sudden gasp and eye twitch* ... NOBODY! Where's Nobody? She should've been back-- *Queen Quin glares at Atlantica* oh... my head... what was I talking about? Oh yeah! Barbershop quartet! Except there's twenty of you little buggies now! We can make a whole choir!!! I should make some celebratory cupcakes! Hey... why's that buggie glowing?

*EBIB explodes, and projection of Pacifica appears*
"Oh, thank God! You're alright!"
What? Who are you? You killed Shiney!
"Attie! It's... it's me. Don't you remember me? Paci, the sad sack!"
Um.... a little.
"I can't talk long. We've been working for hours trying to reach you!"
*Mattie interrupts, "not true! She tried to talk to Morris first!"*
"Well, yes, but only because he's not insane like the others... ugh. Okay, Atlantica, listen to me. You need to get away from the Queen. If you keep fueling her, she'll start an invasion! Already they're targeting @Nobody and @Walls. Luckily Walls was able to help us project through this bug."
*Gretel interrupts, "She's coming back! Hurry!"*
"Attie, you need to get out of here. You need to stay sad. And you need to find the largest source of electrical power you can. And you need to find Nobody."
Omg... I'm remembering... Paci! Paci come back! Please! *Pacifica flickers and fades into nothingness* *Queen Quin growls and starts to move toward crying Atlantica* I can't find anything! I don't know what I'm doing! And these bugs keep making me forget to be sad! I... I... I NEED SCILPH! *Atlantica jumps out window* @Scilph, @Nobody, @Psyhigh, get ready! Because we've got a battle to win! Hooray! Er... I mean Boo Hoo!

Scilph won't be able to help for THREE HOURS? But but but I need her zip zap electric powers and smartness and ability to not get abducted NOW! Oh, yeah, I'm also being kidnapped by bugs right now. *annoyed mechanical chatter* Er, sorry, the politacally correct term is EBIBs. Aw! These guys are so cute when they're angry! GAH! No must stay sad! Focus on Pacifica! *starts to cry again* *bugs scream and skitter away* What the... oh yeah! Tears have salt! TEARS HAVE SALT! THIS IS-- uh, I mean this is terrible! Waaaaa!

Wait, hello there little guy! It's not often I meet an eight legged box of ominous nature! I'm going to name you... Boxie! Can you help me Boxie? I need to find salt, electricity, Nobody (also known as Nicky) and... possibly somebody mentally stable. Like @Morris! Do you know where any of that is? *Boxie/Blackie makes box sounds and starts leading the way* Yay! Good boy! I'll follow you and let the weight of our situation weigh on my shoulders so that I get super depressed! If anybody needs me, follow the trail of tears!!! *screws up face in a grimace* waaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Atlantica just stared.

She stood there and stared, tears still on her cheeks and EBIBs crawling frustratingly close behind her. Sitting in the cafeteria was a... hologram? Yes. A hologram. Of a boy. Eating pasta. Boxie crawled right through him, spun around in confusion, then went and sat on a pile of salt bags. Students were filing in and out of the room, grabbing breakfest and chatting. The end of the world came quite frequently to Psyhigh's doorstep, they were pretty used to it. Atlantica shook herself awake and walked up to the boy.
"Um... are you Wallace?"
"Oh, hi. No, the name's @Walls actually."
"OMG! Wallace! I'm so happy you're here!" *tries to hug him*
"Uh, yeah, I'm not really here. So you can't hug me."
"Okey dokey! Well, I'm glad you're here Wallace! I need you to follow Boxie over there to @Nobody! Then you guys can beat up the EBIBs with projected salt *mimes beating up baddies* and lead Nicky/Nobody to the generator with projected sprinkles! I'll get the generator set up and protect it with that salt over there! Understand? GREAT! Take care of Boxie! Bye Wallace, my bestie!" *tries to hug again, then sprints away*

"... the name's still Walls..."

"So, Attie," Scilphy says. "What do we do?"

That sentence spooked me to my core. Nobody looks to me to lead. Nobody! (And I'm not referring to our poor missing friend Nicky when I say that.) How... strange it feels to be responsible. Paci will be so proud of me when she gets back! ...If she gets back... *sniff* Gotta focus, no time for sobbing. I don't need to cry anymore, we set up a pretty awesome wall of salt in this generator room! Boxie keeps acting upset by all the smoke, but I can't do anything about that. So I just give him hugs! @Walls the Wallace keeps popping in and out to check on us, but his little holograms don't hang around long. Scilphy always seems sad when they appear. I think she is missing Morris. We're all suffering... but we can do this! We can do this! *puts on brave face*

Scilphy is focusing on getting the generator ready to explode with power. It'll be like fireworks! Boom! Pop pop! Bang! Once she's ready, all we'll have to do is lead Queen Quin down here and we'll put on a great fireworks show! Pow Pow Pow! Ka-Bloowie! We heard the EBIB's leave a while ago, thanks to all this salt. They really hate it, which is understandable. It looks like sugar, but when you try to eat it, it just tastes disgusting! (don't ask. Scilphy yelled at me.) We have a safe zone planned out where we can gather everybody during the EBIB blow up party time, but I'd prefer Nicky/Nobody to be here before we do anything. @Nobody, if you can hear me, head towards the cats! Listen for meows! Meeeeeow! Meeeeeeeow! ("Atlantica, is such noise really necessary for typing?" ...no... sorry Scilphy Zip Zap Power Girl. "Please stop calling me that....")

Oh, and it was so great to hear from you Paci! Make sure you come home soon! And punch the Tuna lady in the gut again for me, or give her a hug! Hugs seem to make people mad! At least, they make people made at me!

Judging by what we know now, we'll be ready to put on the firework show by 4-ish. I'm trying to convince Scilphy Zip Zap Power Girl to send Boxie out and help the kitty cats find Nobody, but she seems reluctant to let him go. I'll just have to get somebody else to help. Maybe that @slug master? I don't like masters... but I love slugs! That means slug master will be perfect for this job! ("Attie, that makes no sense at all." Shhhhhh! I'm typing Scilphy! Don't distract me!) So overall, we're way ahead of apocalypse schedule! We have a good chance of winning! And people say we're too mentally unstable to do this! Ha! Take that Tuna Lady! ...HEY LOOK A BUTTERFLY! I'M GOING TO GO CHASE IT!!!!!!
