Dear Journal,
So for "breakfast" today Minuette made me a sandwich, not a normal sandwich though…
It had flowers instead of turkey in it, I think she used the daisies from the flower pot… It looks like she washed them so they weren't dirty or anything.
She was looking at me weirdly and I didn't want to disappoint her so…. I ate it.
It tasted good. I guess turning into a pony changed my diet more than I thought…
I don't know if that was her weird idea of a "prank" but there's no way in hell she's getting me to eat anything like that again. I'm not eating grass, I would love to keep the small amount of dignity I have left, thank you very much.
That "incident" aside, I made some kind of makeshift leash for Buddy using a belt and a pair of leather pants so he doesn't run off again.
He had a reason for it for this time, but what if it happens again? He could get hurt, or worse lost. No, I don't care about that damned mutt. I just don't want Alyssa to be sad, that's all…
I told Alyssa that she had to watch him. She understood and wasn't too angry about it.
The only reason why I keep trying to make everything by hoof is that I'm trying to learn how to function on my own, fast forward a couple years and we'll have to teach the new generation everything. So we gotta preserve human history somehow. (That's why I got all those history books at the library.)
I think I'm getting more mature, I guess that's what 15 days with all this responsibility on their shoulders does to someone. There's a lot on our plates, but I know we'll make it through this, together.
15 days… It doesn't even feel like that anymore… It feels like it's been years…
Sorry for getting a bit moody there.
Alright, so today we used the car parts we got from the car shop yesterday to fix up the truck a bit. Me and Alyssa helped with whatever John couldn't do.
Like I said yesterday, we'll be out of here in a couple of days. We'll follow the same route we were taking. It's that much of a detour but once we reach the hospital we'll either grab what we need for John and go or spend the night there.
His legs are starting to get better but he still probably shouldn't drive. I guess it'll be me and Alyssa doing the driving then, like old times! (Or me and Minuette if she wants to help out, I'll ask her later.)
Not a lot happened today so sorry for not writing much, but as always this is Emile, bye.
I ran out of ways to say goodbye…

Dear Journal,
Is it me or are Alyssa and John getting more competitive with each other? I joked about him being like a dad but now he's more like a big brother than anything. Maybe we're just getting closer.
But god, those two are like a pair of fiesty siblings. I needed a break from them, so today I went out on a little trot with Minuette. Just because we can.
I think I've really gotten the hang of this, I might even be ready to tackle cantering!
You know how I called Alyssa "peppy" in my earlier entries? Well, she is but she's more like a hot-headed daredevil if you, if you get what I mean.
But oh god, Minuette takes the cake for being "peppy." She's SUPER lively, super happy-go-lucky, I might even call her eccentric. I'm not saying this because I don't like her, I do. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken that trot with her.
It's just… Nevermind.
She's still pretty odd though, like she doesn't seem to know what 99% of modern technology is. This morning, I showed her the laptop and she was SUPER in awe at it. (Seriously, where did this girl grow up?)
She says things like "anypony…" Anypony… Is that what we're supposed to say instead of anybody now?
Things like everybody can be used for things that aren't human but we don't exactly have our bodies anymore so… Anypony… Everypony… Eh.
She still doesn't seem to remember anything about her past life though, I asked her about it. She just said she couldn't and whenever she tries to remember she feels this weird "stinging pain" in her head.
I shouldn't ask about her memories, I don't wanna hurt her. A girl with amnesia… How about that…
Well, don't worry Minuette, we'll find a way to get your memories back! I swear it.
Nothing else too exciting happened today though, we're still working on fixing the car so there's not much to document.
But…. I made this little shirt! It's pink and has a heart on it. Alyssa called it "tacky." (She doesn't have taste.)
I feel like I'm really getting better at sewing. Maybe I should be a fashion designer! (Nah…) I'm thinking of tackling knitting next, that seems fun. Alyssa will probably call me a "grandma" for it though…
Welp, as always this is Emile, bye everypony!
Yeah, I'm not saying that.

Dear Journal,
We found something interesting today, very very interesting but I'll have to tell the rest first.
Today we all went on a walk, me, Alyssa, John, Minuette, even Buddy.
Me and Minuette took this as a chance to teach Alyssa how to trot and John how to walk with his broken leg. Alyssa's got trotting down, kinda… I think….
John's walking pretty good so far. His legs definitely getting better, it still hasn't completely healed all the way though, so we had to help him whenever he needed it.
Here's the interesting part I was talking about, on that walk we found this weird graffiti in an alleyway. No, it's not graffiti. It's not even made out of paint, heck I don't even know what its made out of! These are runes! Like magical runes! It's not in English or in any language I've seen for that matter.
But some of the characters resemble old norse runes, I could probably decipher it if I tried.
Minuette said she recognized them but whatever she got close to them the stinging pain in her head just got worse…
She's doing fine now but we'll have to keep her away from stuff like that.
First we got turned into ponies, then animals were getting smarter, and now there's magical runes appearing?! What's even happening anymore…
Other than the magic business, Alyssas getting better at her guitar, it's not good but it's entirely bad either. It's "okay" to me at least. She's getting used to it. She'll probably be at the level she used to be at, eventually…
Oh, and we also finished fixing up the car! We'll be leaving out tomorrow! It's time to continue this road trip!
Anyways, not much else to write about so, this is Emile, goodbye!
Magic, huh….
