Quote of the chapter...
"Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out the late-night record shop
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
When I'm surrounded I just can't stop..."
-Brian Wilson, Barenaked Ladies.
There, are, as I would suspect, more songs that remind me of Sen:
"Wild World" by Cat Stevens
"Ordinary World" by Aurora
"Take Me Home" by Phil Collins
"Can't Stop Loving You" by Phil Collins
"You Are My Dream" by Bambee
"Dammit" by Blink 182. (ROTFLMAO!!)
"I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne
"Is This Love" by Bob Marley (okay, even though Sen & Haku's love isn't THAT strong, ah, it's getting there sooner than you think)
"Like A Stone" by Audioslave (Definitely.)
Without further ado, here's another diaper dandy. Enjoy, minna-san!

One summer day...you're always with me.
Chapter 7
My pet dragon.
I guess you can say he's not a pet.
Or rather, not JUST a pet.
He's a good friend,
And he can read English!
But since when does my pet dragon
Becomes English-literate?
Am I amazed? No.
Am I not surprised? No.
Am I somewhere in between?
I guess you can say that.
He's one good mode of transportation.
He stretches my yen
Like rubber sapling
Ripe for the picking
Of the weak-hearted arms
That the gods call Consumerism.
I don't need an airplane.
I don't need to ride a fast train.
I don't need to even take a car
Or walk, cause he's always there.
He can give a nastier bite
Than any dog
That walks this earth.
And the best part is,
Well, make that one of the best parts,
He doesn't need to be spayed or neutered,
Or even given a rabies shot.
(Though he foams blood at the mouth
When he bleeds from the inside.)
When it comes to having fun,
My pet dragon and me go places.
He takes me to the zoo, the mall,
The beach, the World Cup, the Olympics,
The Tokyo Dome, Mount Fuji,
Shibuya, Roppongi, Akasaka,
And everywhere in between,
Any event, place, or happening
That comes to mind...
He can take me there,
And he has no objections.
When I ride on him,
He makes me not afraid of rollercoasters.
I used to be scared of them when I was a kid.
It makes Aladdin look
Like he was on E while standing on
His "Magic Carpet."
(Though indeed I was brought to a
"whole new world,"
but this world is brave,
as Huxley would suggest it.)
I guess you can say he's a slave to me.
But I don't use and balls and chains,
No whips, no dildos, no fetishes,
Cause he doesn't need any.
He's everything and more
Rolled up into one serpentlike
Package.
Whenever I feel like I need someone
To comfort me when times get bad,
My pet dragon always says,
Hey, Chihiro, you gotta put a smile on your face.
You didn't get that [permanent] pink blush for nothing!
And I believe him.
I remember when I was a little kid,
Spoiled and selfish,
Naïve, full or repercussions.
I lost my shoe in the river.
I tried to look for it,
But I tried to swim,
And I was only sinking,
Sinking,
Sinking,
Sinking to the point where I was about to drown myself in
My unhappiness.
And then, my pet dragon came and helped me find it.
Such a gentledragon, no?
He's such a nice animal.
He's been my pet ever since.
And when I get to Cloud Nine,
I will be riding on my pet dragon
Until the end of the world.
And no one will stop us,
Cause he is I, I am he,
We are one.
Eat your heart out, John Lennon...
