Yeah, I know I can never come on any more and it SUCKS!! To say the least...
I have so much school work to do I feel like I'm going to drown............... *glug glug glug*
I'll TRY and update my blog but I always forget!!!! MESOSORRY!!!!! :(
But, anyway - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I hope you guys have a great new year, and the rest of the year and a 2014 but that's just me thinking ahead. Wow, I don't do that much...
Meh, anyway............................... I feel like writing something but I have no idea WHAT!!!! No new ideas are really coming up and hitting me in the face so I'll just go with something I thought of YEARS ago but never followed it through. It's a little rubbish and very confusing but bare with it!
WARNING: MIND SCREWING ZONE APPROACHING
Reality isn't what you think it is. It's a figment of your imagination.
Until you can except this, you're not really living, you just think you are. Follow me? Probably not but maybe you will eventually. Just hear me out.
The governments of every country try to hide this power from people for years - locking away the people who posses it, if they catch them.
UFO sightings? Some might be real, but most of them were seen by people who willed them into existence with this power.
All this can be very dangerous, as you would expect. It's a shame I had to find out the hard way...
Anyway, I'll leave you with that for now!!!

Don't forget me!!!!
I'm not dead guys!!!! And you aren't either because the Mayans turned out to be just ancient trolls... Great, I still have to do my GCSEs... So, to remind you all that I'm not dead and that my laptop is just broken (I don't know when it'll be fixed...) I've written a short little story!
Sparky Braginski sat down with her toast and flicked on the TV. Being part of the Australian Sanctuary was cool, but it also meant keeping up with mortal news. She sighed as another none-story went by on about how falling oil prices is bad for animals. Sparky soon finished her breakfast and was about to leave when a story did catch her eye.
"... and now we move onto a very odd story from all over the world. Appearances like this first appeared in England a few years ago but they soon disappeared but now they're back. These appearances take the for of what look like assassinations. All shot with a single arrow and bearing this mark on their face." the news reader said and an image flashed on the screen of what looked like two L's and an x. "These marks started to show up again two months ago all over the world. People are wondering if it's a copycat killer or if the original killer is back. We'll have more on this story in half and hour, but now..."
Sparky gagged slightly on her coffee and leaped across the sofa to the phone on the end table. She quickly dialled the number and prayed she would pick up. "Come on come on..." she hissed impatiently.
The phone clicked and a very annoyed voice sounded on the other side. "Hello?" it asked groggily.
"Robin!" Sparky shouted. "Did you see the news?"
Robin Snowscar yawned. "Sparky, it's three in the morning here of course I'm going to be watching the news." she snapped sarcastically.
"Seriously Robin!" Sparky urged. "Get your TV on or Google the headlines or something."
Robin grunted the there was a whirring sound followed by keys being tapped. "Right, which headline?"
"The one about the killings." Sparky said.
"'Kay..." Robin said, scrolling down the headlines. There was a sharp gasp when she saw the one Sparky meant. "Could it be...?" she asked.
"I think so." Sparky bubbled. "You'll have to meet me tomorrow. I'll fly over to you."
"Where about and when?" Robin asked, pen ready to write it on her hand.
"Erm..." Sparky thought, checking flight times. "Five pm at the riverside."
"I'll see you then." Robin hung up.
"Right..." Sparky said, opening her own laptop and going to the email. She selected everyone in the old group and sent them all an email telling them to meet at Riverside tomorrow at five.
"You're not getting away that easily." Sparky smirked.
The setting sun made the river look red as Sparky looked down on it. Robin soon joined her at the river bank, her the same colour as the river.
Soon, they'd all arrived. Zathract Mist, Nixion Strange, Eve (Sparky wondered why she had no last name...), Flame Phoenix and Ivy Animosity who was, of course, already thinking of ways to push Flame in the river.
"Did you all read the article I sent you?" Sparky asked.
They all nodded and Nix piped up. "How do we know it's her?" he asked.
"Who else carries a Sharpie and is an assassin?" Zath countered.
"They did say it could be a copycat." Flame interjected.
Ivy laughed. "What do they know?" she scoffed.
"They hope it's a copycat." Robin smirked.
"So let's get right down to it, is Lynxia back?" Flame asked Sparky.
Sparky was about to reply when a girl of about sixteen walked up. She wore and black and white striped top, black trousers and grey pumps. Her face was angular, her eyes white and framed by dark hair that fell to almost her waist.
"You bet I am." Lynxia Lost smirked at them.
Just a drabble I wrote up while I was bored the other day. Hope it's okay!!!

HAPPY BLOG-DAY TO ME!!
Okay, so because I've kinda been neglecting my blog as of late, I'll just post some PJ fan fic, it's not very good but it's filler while I perfect the next few chapters of the Chronicles.
(This starts a little earlier than the actual fifth book does. Seen as it's PJ I also get to use words like candy and mom!!!)
I woke to find Travis Stoll poking my cheek. "Hey!" I complained and swatted at his hand.
"Get up." he whispered.
"Why?" I asked, glancing round I saw Conor was the only other one awake and the rest of Hermes Cabin was dark. "What time is it?"
"It's three in the morning so be quiet, we need help with some revenge." he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
I sighed, they always came to me for revenge, just because I was the daughter of Nemesis. I got my nickname from that too - Nemmy, it started out as Nemesis Junior but then it was just shortened to Nem or Nemmy. My real name is Valerian Richmond but that's always sounded too fancy.
"What now?" I groaned, sitting up in my sleeping bag.
Conor produced a bag of eggs. "Athena Cabin is gonna pay." he smiled.
"No, I'm not trashing a Cabin. Forget it." I lay back down and rolled over.
"Please?" one asked.
"No." I said into my hoodie/pillow.
"But it's revenge! I thought you and your mom were into that kind of stuff!"
"Not at three am." I grunted.
"What's going on?" Another voice whispered from above me and on my left. I recognised it as Abi's. She was my best friend here at Camp and had been here since I first came.
"Nemmy won't help us trash Athena's Cabin!" Conor whined.
"What time is it, like three am?" Abi asked.
"Yeah." me and Travis said at the same time.
"Well of course she won't, it's too early!"
"Why are you up?" Rebecca Utanae chimed in.
"Nemmy's being a cow." Travis said.
"Shut up!" I snapped quietly and hit him.
"Ow" he complained.
"What was that?" Lance Williams had woken up now.
"This is your fault." Abi snapped at Conor and threw her pillow at him.
He took it to the face and went down, squishing his eggs. "Hey!"
"Are we having a pillow fight?" Adam's voice sounded from near the door.
"PILLOW FIGHT!!" Lance shouted and the Cabin erupted into chaos. I was hit with Abi's egg soaked pillow and I hit Travis in the face with it.
Conor began pelting people with half-smashed eggs and before long everyone was screaming and covered in egg.
"Freeze!" Adam shouted.
Everyone froze and looked at him. He pointed to the window on the left of the door and a shadow of a harpie was stopped outside.
Everyone shared worried glances, if we made a noise she'd rush in and probably eat us or something. Eventually the shadow moved and there was only a moment before eggs started to fly again.
Eventually, we did stop attacking each other with eggs and pillows and sweeped all of the eggs under the bunk beads and headed towards the pavilion when the horn sounded. We all crowded round the Hermes table for breakfast. There were always loads of people in Hermes so I had to sit on a small, plastic chair at the end of one of the benches.
Breakfast passed with the normal hub-bubb of noise, laughing and passing round of food plates but it all seemed fragile. There were less people than ever at Camp and we all knew what had happened to some of them, Percy had told us all of the Princess Andromeda where Luke was raising his army of monsters and turned demi-gods - including my brother, Ethan.
I realised I wasn't eating but Abi poked me and I jerked back to my senses. "Come on, we've got sword practice with Jackson." she said and pulled me towards the arena.
Inside we lined up against the back wall while Percy was demonstrating some moves we'd been practising this week. Then he called people up to practice fighting.
I, meanwhile, day dreamed, like I always do.
"Don't let your guard down!" Percy shouted but still got Adam in the ribs. "Sorry, dude. Bad luck."
"Gods damn it." Adam muttered and stepped round to the edge of the arena to wait with the rest of us.
Becky sighed. "He's so cute when he's fighting."
I rolled my eyes. "He doused himself in seawater first, I can smell the seaweed from here."
"I don't care." A dreamy look crossed her face as Percy started training with Neil. After a few strokes, Neil was down but Percy helped him up.
"You're getting better." he said encouragingly.
Neil muttered something about hating sword fighting and walked to the edge of the arena to wait with the rest of us.
Percy called out to me. "Hey Nem, you haven't been up yet, why don' you come up?"
I gritted my teeth but Abi pushed me forward. I gave her a death glare but stood in front of Percy with my sword, a heavy scowl on my face.
Percy took the first swing but I leaned out then slashed at his arm making him turn. I brought my sword back up and managed to make a small cut on his shoulder.
He gasped like he hadn't been caught out in a fight in a while then did a full turn and engaged me again. Pings sounded as our bronze swords clashed again and again, our feet pressing forward or skipping back to avoid the other blade. I pushed forward again when I saw a dark shape in the entrance to the arena. Nico di Angelo was leaning against the wall as if he had just melted up from the shadows.
I'd let my guard down and Percy managed to push me down with the hilt of his sword. I glared up at him but accepted his hand and he helped me up.
"Hate to interrupt but we need to talk." Nico said to Percy. He had been doing this since the summer session started, turning up, talking to Percy and each time Percy came back, he seemed even quieter and desperate.
Percy broke a smile. "Yeah, sure." then he clapped me on the back. "Keep practising you're getting better." he said then followed Nico out of the arena.
"I threw my sword point down in the dirt. "Stupid Nico." I muttered. "He had to show up then, didn't he." I grumbled.
Abi smirked at me. "Admit it, you're not sore you lost, you're just sore he didn't speak to you."
"Shut up." I snapped and kicked my sword.
Abi laughed.
Like? Anyway, these are the main three characters for my fan fic.

Oopsies!!
Sorry guys, I've been really busy as of late. Exams, art deadlines, coursework and more personal issues, but I'm still here!! Sorry!!
I've just really had zilch time to come on! Damn homework, it is my biggest bane... Well, that and maths or school in general!!
Anyway - stories and stuff because, let's face it, that's all that ever goes up on the Bubble.
Bad news, I have zilch. No Crescent, Patchwork, Fate, Chronicles - NOTHING!! I hate having writers block... Any suggestions of how to get rid of it? Pretty please??
Good news, I AM starting a new Percy Jackson fan fic. I'm not telling you who's in it yet, but if you have read the original 5 books then I could possibly draft you in... *thinking face* Leave a comment with parent, small history and appearance and I'll go from there, okay? No? Oh...
Well, other than apologies and disappointing news with all things story-ish, I have nothing else to tell you.
But I'll keep going, because I have no homework due in tomorrow!!
We should be getting snow soon!! Yay!! Apparently they've already got some further up and on the peaks, so that's something to look forward However, when we get snow I tend to go nuts. It'll be cold out and first thing in the mornings during holidays, I'll look up things related to my obsessions, right now, I'm writing them on a Christmas List (yes, I still make lists - problem?!?) and it ranges from the Death Note box set to a Percy Jackson Camp Half-Blood T-shirt
My archery club has also started back up after the field was flooded. We're back in the hall now, so inside target shooting for me!!
In other amazingly awesome news - IT'S GONNA BE MY BLOG-BIRTHDAY SOON!!! I shall be one blog-year old on November 3rd. That's the first time I ever commented and it was under the name Shadow9. It seems so long ago now...
One more teensy weensy thing, I've also been practising my manga and I think I'm getting better, but you be the judge!

'Tis all, me thinks!!

Crescent, Chapters 15 and 16...
Chapter 15 - Two Days Later...
"We're back on the scene, now, with Eric Arden, our crime reporter here on SNN, Eric?" the reporter on the television asked.
"Thank you, Kate, I'm here live with Sargent Bradshaw of Sudbinam Police Force outside the Lawson Bank where this commotion started two days ago. I say started but we really saw the first signs of the, uh," he chuckled slightly "Superhero group known as HATE back in the late eighties when a series of kidnappings across the country resulted in mass-hysteria. Since then, they had become a normal part of society, also showing up in other countries until they now seem to have international branches. This was until two months ago when the Thames Disaster occurred and three million people died. Not only were there riots here in England, but also across the world as people called out for their own forms of HATE to be disbanded and leave the countries. However, after disappearing, HATE have now shown up here, can you shed some light on this for us, Sargent?" he offered the microphone to the same officer who had lead the assault on the bank.
"I can try." he grunted. "When we got there, they were fighting amongst themselves and tying up their colleagues so they could take the money for themselves. They also-"
"That's a load of lies!" a woman roared, pushing him from view and taking the microphone. "I was a hostage in the bank that day and HATE were not associated with me and my child's captors! They saved our lives and then he charged in and took the real criminals who will probably escape soon!"
"That's not true, ma'am." he grunted darkly.
"I think we'll go back to the studio for now, back to you Kate." the reporter said as the woman jump-attacked the Sargent.
"Uh, thank you Eric for that-" Violet turned off the television.
"Well, HATE have certainly become celebrities again." she said, smiling slightly at Philip.
"That's a slight understatement, Mum, all people were talking about yesterday was HATE. It was all 'HATE this' and 'HATE that'. It's driving me nuts!" Sasha sulked.
Violet laughed. "I can imagine, now come on, school." she said and got a moan in return. "You too, Phil."
Philip grabbed his bag and joined his mum and sister in the elevator. At the bottom, he said goodbye and headed towards the train station. He swiped his card and boarded the train then sat in his normal seat. Only then did he start to wonder why he was being sent back to the school where he'd been found.
His thoughts were disturbed when Pixel sat next to him wearing the JMA school uniform (navy blazer, white shirt, blue and silver tie with a black skirt).
"Hey Phil." she said.
"You're coming to JMA?" he asked.
"Hm? Oh, yeah. You can't call me Pixel while we're there, you gotta call me Emily Hawkin. I hate my normal name." she sighed. She seemed to have tried to make herself look more normal. Her black hair was slightly curled and the streaks had been removed while it was also back offer her face rather than dangling in her blue eyes which were rimmed with less eye-liner than usual.
"Emily isn't too bad of a name." he said.
She laughed. "I prefer Pixel."
"Anyway, why're you coming?" Philip asked as the train started forward.
"Because Beam and Probe want to make sure Probe's mind blocks are working." she continued after Philip's blank look. "Probe blocked any memories Quake had about where he found you and placed the idea in his head that he want to wipe it off Shade's computer, too. I'm just here to help if any uglies do show up."
"Ah, gotcha." he said as the train stopped at the Redbrook Station.
"Yeah, I just can't be bothered to go. I mean, I was rarely at Hayfield because I was always needed at HQ so it's just going to be settling in."
"You'll be fine." Philip said. "You're gonna be the smartest person there, Haystack or not."
Pixel chuckled. "Thanks." she looked out of the window as the train stopped at HQ's skyscraper. "Wow, it's weird not getting off here."
"You'll get used to it. Next stop is us, anyway."
"Not too much of a journey then." Pixel, or Emily, said, looking out of the window at the city. "I've never been this far into the city before without Void or Probe before."
Philip stared as the train started to descend. "No way."
She nodded as they jumped off. "Mm hmm, not once." A few minutes later they had passed between the large iron gates of JMA and walked past the fountain and passed through the entrance hall.
"Don't know why you're thinking you're gonna have trouble fitting in, it's just a school." Philip said with a shrug.
"Just a school for the rich and snooty plus highly judgemental." she scoffed.
Phil laughed then another voice sounded from behind them.
"Who's your friend, Phil?" Andrew Lawson said, walking up with two of his friends.
"I'm Emily, you are?" Pixel asked and Andrew almost flinched at her accent.
"Andrew Lawson, nice to meet you." he said, turning the sleaze back on.
"The same Lawsons' who had their bank broken into?" she asked, her face innocent.
Philip turned away so Andy couldn't see him choking back laughs.
Andrew's eyes were like plates. "Uh, yeah."
"You should tell your dad to get better security." Pixel said matter-of-factly an walked away.
Andrew stared after her then looked at Philip for an explanation but he only shrugged and caught up with her.
"Did you see his face?" she giggled.
"Yeah, I think if his eyes had gotten any bigger they would have popped out of his head."
"I know! Oh this is gonna be fun!" Pixel beamed, the twinkle in her eye mischievous.
They were crossing a corridor to their form room when a boy in the year above Philip and Pixel came running through the fairly busy corridor carrying a bag and a spray paint bottle and sending people flying as he barged his way through. He knocked Pixel to the floor, too. "Oi!" she shouted angrily after him but he was gone.
"You okay?" Phil asked as she got to her feet.
"Yeah, fine." she said, scowling down the corridor. "I wonder what he was doing." she said, her brow creasing.
"Not a-" Philip was interrupted by Mr Harris the English teacher appearing at the end of the corridor, shouting. His thick glasses were askew, his bald head shiny and the wrinkles around his eyes very prominent.
"... little vandal! You'll all pay, you animals!" he huffed, charging through the crowd after the boy.
Pixel watched him go. "Is he always like that?"
"Pretty much." Philip shrugged.
The bell rang and the crowds slowly dispersed as people headed for form, one person to walk to Philip's form was Luna who walked up from the opposite direction to Mr Harris.
"Hey, d'you know what happened?" Pixel asked her.
"Hm?" Luna looked up from her timetable, her hair was tied into two, low pigtails but still had the crescent hair pin at the edge of her side-fringe. "Oh, someone wrote 'long live HATE' o a wall with bright pink spray paint."
Chapter 16 - Gossip...
It seemed that everywhere Philip went, the only thing to talk about was HATE. One of the main gossipers was Cassandra Wright. She had been watching through the window so, naturally, everyone wanted to talk to her.
Philip was sat next to Kyle with Pixel at the desk in front of them (Jess had broken a few ribs and an arm at the bank so she wasn't in) while Cassandra was chatting away to some other girls on Kyle's right.
"Well, who do you think is best?" Alicia Brown asked.
Cassandra tapped her chin and then her eyes lit up. "Haze, by far, he's tall and strong and controls fire. Imagine the heat, no what I mean?" they all burst out in fits of laughter and Ms Richards told them to shut up and get on with their work.
Kyle sat frozen, his expression mortified. His eyes were huge, his pupils dilated and his mouth was a thin, upside down U.
Pixel, on the other hand, was shaking with laughter and trying to write but she couldn't even hold a pen.
Philip was grinning too and resisting the urge to laugh by biting his lip, hard. He patted Kyle's back. "So, when's the wedding?"
"Shut up, Phil. Seriously, this isn't funny." Kyle snapped.
Pixel rolled her eyes, still smiling. "No, not at all."

Cassie and the other girls were still laughing when they left the classroom thirty minutes later.
"What you got?" Pixel asked.
"History." Kyles sighed.
"Biology." Philip said.
"I've got IT so I'll see you both later." she said and went down the corridor to the left. Kyle also went left while Philip went right, towards the newer science block. He came out of the back arch and crossed the small courtyard to the glass and redbrick building. It was only two storeys tall but it held eight classrooms, each had a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, and two preparation rooms filled with chemicals.
Philip had just climbed the few steps into the main corridor, like the other students going to science, when he heard a yelp of pain behind him.
"Ow!" came a girl's voice.
Philip turned to see Luna collapsed on the steps, clutching her ankle. Nobody else had even turned round. He scowled a bit and walked back to her. "Hey, you okay?" he asked, stretching out his hand.
"Yeah, I just fell on the steps." she said, taking Philip's hand and he helped her up. "Thanks." she smiled and took a step but collapsed again as she put her weight on her right leg. "Ah!"
Philip helped her up again. "You wanna go see the nurse?"
She nodded whilst gritting her teeth. "Mm hmm, will you help me get there, though? I don't think I could walk and I've forgotten where it is." she grinned sheepishly.
"No problem." he said and put her right arm around his shoulders and took half her weight.
"I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy!" she giggled. "I'm wasting your time."
"Hey, it's only biology, it's not like it's anything important." he grinned back.
She laughed. "I'm Luna, by the way, Luna Heart." she said as they entered the main school building.
"Philip Forster." he nodded and turned them onto a corridor branching to the right and up a flight of stairs.
"Yeah, I think I've seen you around but I can't quite remember. I still haven't settled in." she sighed. "I kinda miss London."
"Is it very different from here?" he asked as they climbed another set of stairs and turned down a wide corridor to the left.
"Not that much, just busier, but I miss my friends." she replied with half a shrug.
"You'll settle in soon." The stopped outside an office marked 'Nurse's Office' with three chairs outside. "There you go."
Luna knocked and opened the door when a voice replied with "Come in."
"Sit there, love." the woman said from behind her desk, gesturing to the small, medical examination bed.
Philip went to leave but Luna grabbed his wrist. "No, stay? Please, I won't be able to find my way back." she pleaded, her grey eyes big and representing her name sake very clearly.
He turned to the nurse. "May I?"
"Sure," she nodded. "Take a seat outside.
***
Fifteen minutes later, Luna hobbled out with a metal splint on her right ankle and a crutch.
"I've twisted my ankle." she said.
"Just on the steps? It wasn't slippery or icy or something, was it?" he asked, completely confused. She might say she's clumsy but it's pretty hard to fall on them steps dry, he thought.
"Not that I noticed." she replied, shaking her head.
"Weird." he said as they walked back down the stairs.
"Yeah, maybe. But thanks for helping me, nobody else even looked over." she said, her lamp-like eyes catching his again.
"It was no problem, hones-" his phone began to buzz in his pocket. "Hang on." he said and pulled out his phone, nobody ever called him in the day, ever; he didn't recognise the number but answered it. "Hello?" he asked.
"Falcon, we're back on business terms, me and Haze are at the gates. Stop cuddling up to Luna and get down here." Pixel rushed.
Philip glanced at Luna, hoping she hadn't heard that. "I am not cudd-"
"NOW!! Pixel roared and he dropped his phone.
He picked it up. "Okay, okay, I'll be there in a few minutes." he hung up and turned back to Luna. "I have to go."
"What? Why?" she asked.
"It's... Complicated. Biology is just down this corridor, into the science block and the second door on the left." he hurried.
"But why-"
"I'm really sorry, I just have to!" he called back over his shoulder. When he was round the corner, he jetted himself forward and was at the gates in two minutes, landing next to Pixel and Kyle. "What's up?" he panted slightly.
Kyle looked solemn. "HQ's under attack."
I promise it starts to get more intersting now, I'm sorry for the incredibly long build-up!!
I've started a shipping war between my friends. Some of my friends read this and now they've started shipping it! I don't know whether to be flattered or freaked out.
On one side there's 'Flaxle' so they're shipping Philip/Falcon x Emily/Pixel.
And then there's 'Fluna' (seriously, that's what they came up with, just... Just don't ask). That's Philip/Falcon x Luna.
I just stopped asking and let them get on with it.
As for in the last upload, in Paranoia's speech, those typos are meant to be there so you know what her accent sounds like. I wouldn't miss that many typos in one space.
