"I'm home!" Akane announced as she completed her morning jog. She quickly headed upstairs, and within barely a moment she was heading back down, and out to the dojo, dressed in her dogi. She stood in the centre of the dojo, but her mind was not on the bricks piled in front of her. Instead, her mind was on the next day. Because tomorrow, she would begin at her new school. Tomorrow, she'd be joining Nabiki at Furinkan High school. It was exciting, it was different, it was... kinda scary. She'd be making new friends, joining clubs, maybe even get a boyfriend. That was not likely to happen any time soon, due to her unrequited crush on a certain Doctor, but who knew? The future was uncertain, and she knew that all too well. Anything could happen.
Bringing herself back to the present, Akane focused her attention on the bricks, and with a slightly cliche scream of "hiiiiyaa!" cracked them all cleanly in the middle.

Except... the page wasn't quite so empty anymore. Words fell across the page, as if raining down from above. Those words became sentences, sentences became paragraphs... And yet, she hadn't even moved her pen one inch since putting it to the page. She gaped in shock, which turned to horror, which turned to curiosity... which turned to her putting down the pen and checking the rest of the formerly empty book. It was the same on every page. Writing was appearing on it from an unknown source, before her very eyes.
After a quick pinch on her arm to determine whether she was really awake or not, and rubbing her eyes just to be on the safe side, she checked again. It was still there. Defeated by the prospect that yes, this had really happened, she felt there was no other choice but to determine precisely what words had been written in what was supposed to be her diary.
