Exhilaration

So, I did something that my father would kill me for. My mother too.

I got a secret Oyster of my own, and I went out into London while Dad was at work. On my own!

I went to the Forbidden Planet-I remembered the way from going there with Thene! And I have a very talkative Aeris now in my pocket, and a new book in my backpack.

I watered some sad-looking plants in a church, and I looked at stones in a hippy shop. I'm typing this now from an internet cafe. Once I'm done I'm heading home again...for today, at least!

I just keep smiling and laughing. It's so great to be out like this!

London's open to me now. It's not just a city, it's my city.

I'm not trapped anymore.
