[hr]

Diana was a bit annoyed at the frustration coming from Luke, all she did was glare at him because it was a bit annoying. However, a slight smile came across her face when she saw Inès come to help out Franz, since he definitely needed it. However, what Luke said made her a bit more annoyed and couldn’t help but stare at him in her mask with a definite look of seriously. She didn’t want to insult him or anything since Jean did tell them not to get going again. But how she was staring at Luke was please can you calm the fuck down you twit. [color=FFB6C1][i]”God damn… I know he’s exhausted but can he please not piss anymore people off today? We have the Imperials on our ass we don’t need in fighting. I don’t want to piss off Jean.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, with her definitely staring directly at Luke.

She saw Jean go ahead since there was clearing in the gas. She definitely followed her squadmates as closely as possible since she didn’t want to be separated from them. It made her think about certain things while running through the streets, buildings and other things to stay away from the Imperials that wanted to kill them. For specifically the Federation’s superiors did, however, it was definitely annoyance for her. [color=FFB6C1][i]”...I fucking hate this shit… I hope my family is alright back at home...”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, while she was deathly afraid while wearing her mask. However, how she was running felt like what happened during her Conscription Training with that prick of a Drill Sergeant, which was the grandfather of her childhood friend.

[hr]

In terms of certain things, Diana was definitely a bit better off than she had been during that specific day that will live in infamy with her. The Day the world went mad, civilians, imperials and federation all went mad that day, which was on Luke’s birthday it was a bit of a sad tale really. Everyone was trying to kill the other side and civilians in the end were cut down in their prime of their life by toxic gas. She was grateful she’s still alive, after all that craziness. It was pretty much obvious, that the silver pendant necklace she always wore during everywhere she went was still around her neck. She was comfortably wearing her clothes, where you got to see the necklace and she wasn’t wearing her helmet because this was an area that had friendlies. In terms of certain things, how she was dressed was a bit causally looking. She walked by where Luke was taking a head dunking challenge and heard what he said and rolled her eyes. However, she wasn’t looking at him when she spoke, however. [color=FFB6C1]”How can a hangover be nice? I do like the peaceful day though it’s definitely better than most things I suppose.”[/color] Diana spoke with a bit of a sarcastic tone in her voice, which was basically about the first thing she asked. It was pretty obvious she’s trying to lighten the tone from what it had happened back at the White Hart Inn.

She sighed in relief that this was a comfortable day, because of the fact. It was her feet that made her somewhat sprint ahead of Luke who didn’t put on his shirt since she didn’t see if he was shirtless anyway. She was smiling mostly because of the fact, it was an obviously beautiful day, however. It was nice to see everyone was being quite jovial, playing cards and other such things but she was one of the more active people. She felt a slight bit a new person even though it was definitely odd but after a battle like they’ve been through was definitely needed. It took her a bit to look back at Luke and she noticed he was under dressed in terms of his shirt being off. [color=FFB6C1]”The mystery of the world can’t handle you it seems Luke. But I guess I should say Happy Late Birthday I suppose?”[/color] Diana asked with a slight smile and a giggle leaving her mouth at what she said. It took her a bit to remember Ines also had a birthday but didn’t really want to bother her right now. She’s somewhat annoyed her birthday is in November of all things. [color=FFB6C1]”My birthday is on November 15th...”[/color] Diana said, with a slight annoyance to her voice. It was pretty much obvious she accidentally blurted that out since now everyone knows her birthday is in November. Her family is all about birthdays it seems since she loved each and every single one of her birthdays.

Diana stopped in fear when she heard Captain Grumpus yell out Michael’s name. It was definitely a terrifying thing to hear him be completely furious about what’s going on. However, it clicked it was all about Lucia and Middleton’s obsession over her. It was definitely unpleasant conversation between Michael & Middleton but it seems like the raging inferno of Middleton subsided by the calm and collective of Michael. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I didn’t think that would be possible… but I have a feeling he’ll be back to give us things to do.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself. She waited to move or even sigh because Middleton was definitely a big deal, she wouldn’t want to die by someone wanting to blow off some steam. It felt like an age but she finally was able to breathe easier and she looked at Michael, it was in her eyes of [i]thank god he’s gone.[/i] She did notice all the people who was reading letters, it made her a bit sad. She walked to where she was sitting down before she walked in a direction for a bit. It took her a bit but the soldier that was being bothered by Luke was finished. 

The Soldier in question walked up to Diana, who was sitting down with a depressed expression on her face, however, he stopped and looked at her. “Ma’am are you Diana perchance?” The Soldier asked curiously because he did ask some of the people in the squad if they had seen Diana. It was definitely nice he caught up to her finally since she had a pretty big package. 

[color=FFB6C1]”Yes, I am her… why?”[/color] Diana asked, curiously. She didn’t really was prepared for what was coming for her. The soldier in question gave her a package with the New Vastergoth Bakery’s Seal, which is the family seal of the Vastergoth Family themselves. It was definitely a shock to see the package, and attached to it was a letter. She instantly knew who it was from and wondered how or why it was here she hasn’t ever sent a letter back home. [color=FFB6C1]”Uhhh, how?”[/color] Diana asked, shocked at what’s going on. The Soldier looked directly at her and just smiled with a bit of an oddity. This soldier in question just walked away and allowed her to open the package because he decided to get out of here. It was obvious why he got out of here he had to deliver the rest of his packages he had to the other soldiers that aren’t in Squad 1.

Diana sighed and looked directly at the package, since the New Vastergoth Bakery packaging works very well to keep everything fresher as if it was just baked. Nothing is left to chance for these baked goods, she opened the seal, which allowed her to get the Letter in question. She wanted to open the letter right away but she opened the package and saw something she thought she never would see again, her mother’s chocolate chip cookies. [color=FFB6C1]”Mother… you shouldn’t have… I know I can’t eat all these cookies by myself.”[/color] Diana said, with a slight bit of shock in her voice while looking at the cookies all neat and tight in the packaging.

She noticed an oddity with the letter in question, as if it has an extra piece of paper in it. It specifically meant that her mother specifically wanted her to write back as soon as possible or else type of deal. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Uhhh.. Shit… I don’t like how my mother is so prepared with her letters… It’s like she wants this letter returned to her as soon as possible.”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself, which was obviously a terrifying thing. She was definitely a bit flabbergasted and shocked all at the same time but she calmed down and opened the letter so she can read it.

[hider=Rebecca's Letter][color=98FB98]Dear Diana,

Hello Daughter, it's your mother Rebecca. The one you've probably been constantly saying to everyone in your platoon or squad. It's sweet of you to do that since you've always been a talkative child about how sweet your family is and how they act towards everyone in Castleton. Gavin got something he's been working on, which shocked me some to see Amanda Reese Donster, Ashley's own daughter hanging around the Bakery as if she was homeless. However, it's pretty obvious your father told me that Amanda's own mother told her to change her beautiful black hair and I didn't believe him for one second. Why would my childhood friend do that to her own kid? It was a bit shocking to hear Gavin outright say to adopt the poor girl since the only people at the Donster Estate are literally the staff that are hired by the Donsters to work there. It saddens me that my childhood friend Ashley changed from being the kindhearted girl she was since she followed me everywhere to who she is now. It doesn't help that Derrick & Ashley are living in Vinland, I think their mansion is in the Darport Area. We've only been taking care of Amanda on the weekend since she said that Astra is staying in the Donster Estate. It's frustrating that Astra cut ties with us right after you were shipped out to EW1. I've been trying to figure that out ever since she had left us. 

If you want to know about the New Vastergoth Bakery, it's doing very well. Ever since we've made it more streamlined it's been getting business from everywhere in Edinburgh. Been getting great sells from our 13 year old contract from the Factory in Castleton, the Fredrick Barr Association PLC, which manufactures the Carbonated Soft Drink that's orange in color. It's called Irn Castle, named after the city the factory was built in, still amazes me that that factory has been around for 13 years so far. Besides that Susan outright sends her best wishes to you, she's going to be married next year to a beautiful woman by the name of Dorothy van Ritter. It's going to be a wonderful time really when that happens, however you won't be able to see it since you are still in that blasted war.

Now the important topic I've been trying to neglect. But Diana, I am really angry at you for not saying goodbye to me when you had to leave to that Conscription Camp. I've been wondering why you left without saying goodbye and getting the Journal I bought for you before you had to leave. It is definitely pains me to say this but I miss you but can you think about your family's feelings before you do something stupid again? I'm extremely angry with you because I wanted to give you a hug before you went out to EW1 and tell you I love you. I'm telling you this, I do hope you come back from this awful war so we can be a family again.

After all, you are pretty forgetful and usually forget to write back every now and then even though you should have. Diana, I love you as a daughter and will never forgive the military if you die in the field. Promise me you will write back to me, after you are finished reading this letter I've painstakingly written out.

With Love, 

Rebecca Liana Vastergoth

PS: I hope you haven't ruined our anniversary I will freaking yell at you when you do come home. It's a pretty important thing to keep going, no hangovers. If you did have a hangover oh so to help me god I will freaking yell at you for at least six freaking hours straight. However, your father will stop me before I get to six hours since you are officially all grown up when you will return to us. 

PSS: Oh yeah please share those cookies I made for you, with your squad.[/color][/hider]

Diana finished reading the letter, which caused her to cry a bit uncontrollably because she didn’t know anything about what’s going on at home for one. It hit her all at once, all the emotions swelled to her because of the fact her mother wrote her and definitely made her feel bad for not saying goodbye or grabbing her journal. She slowly calmed down but couldn’t help but stay crying but she smiled when she definitely realized her mother wanted her to share her cookies with everyone. It filled her with a bit of a relief. [color=FFB6C1]”M-Mother… why do you have to do this to me? I was actually having a good day but you ruined it… thank you for the cookies… at least.”[/color] Diana said, with a shaky voice to her whole thing. She knew she forgot something before going to the Conscription Camp that day but she couldn’t go to her mother Rebecca at that moment. It took her a bit and looked at everyone in her squad, however, she did notice that Lucia wasn’t here that made her a bit saddened. [color=FFB6C1]”Uhhh… Do you want to try my mother’s chocolate chip cookies… they are one of the select choices from the New Vastergoth Bakery...”[/color] Diana said, addressing everyone in her squad, however she was fighting what she wanted to do. In terms of crying and sleep her day away since she couldn’t handle this at all.

She did notice on the package there was a pen, which was from her journal. Her mother was definitely a bright mother, however, it definitely made her feel slightly better since she didn’t want to borrow anyone else tools to write. She couldn’t help but shake a bit and waited for people to come up to her and get the cookies she has, however, she did start eating one of her mother’s cookies. It was definitely a cookie she missed and hopefully she’ll never miss one of these again. She definitely needs to get the recipe from her mother, however. It took her finishing the cookie to clam down and focus on what she needs to do, in terms of writing a letter to her mother Rebecca. It was definitely a shock that her elder sister Susie was going to get married next year to a very prominent Darscen Family in Castleton. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I don’t know what I feel about our family adopting a Donster… but if Gavin taken a liking to Amanda… I’ll be a good older sister to her. Even though that story feels so false, why would a mother be that awful to their own child?”[/i][/color] Diana thought to herself with a confused look on her face. She couldn’t help but give out a sigh while sitting down where she was sitting trying to be a bit happier. It was obvious, she wasn’t smiling anymore this shocked her a bit too much.
