Me: Do I have to do this?

Magical Red Panda in my head: Yes, otherwise we'd confuse people into thinking we believe we own the copyrights to Series X. Or getting in trouble. Whatever comes first.

Me: Okay… whatever you say, Red Panda. I don't own Danny Phantom… or any series that's not called KoInu-Chan Kurokuso, Remember Jennifer, Stephanie and Mew, yadda, yadda, yadda. I also don't own "Shinjitsu no Uta" by Do As Infinity, an awesome Japanese band.

Magical Red Panda: Very good, Kady. Now will you bring me the bamboo offerings?

Me: Yes, your Highness!

Kate-chan 91's tidbits (A/N): Yes, I'm really convinced a magical Red Panda is in my head, and (s) he rocks: -D Anyway, here's the next chapter!

"To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent." –Buddha 3 October 2005

Ugh, today's Monday- the day where I have to meet and talk to Mr. Baum, my psychiatrist. I have to talk with him once every week for over two hours because my parents think I'm suicidal since I'm a Goth. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM! I'M NOT EVEN SUICIDAL, I'M UNIQUE!"

Anyway, the session was pointless and boring as usual. First, he asked me how I was and all the other useless crap that you know they just want to say for the sake of getting more money by the minute. What seemed like hours later, he eventually actually started doing his job; he asked me if anything was on my mind. For some reason, I suddenly blurted out one word: Danny. Weird, huh?

Well, Mr. Baum didn't waste a second asking me about, as he put it, 'Who the hell Danny was." I jadedly explained everything to him, everything: Danny in general, Cubby's murder, the vandalism, the first verse of "Shinjitsu no Uta" playing over and over again, the whole nine yards from last week to today pretty much.

Since he's pretty much a dumb psychiatrist, he just tried to baby and explain the reasons for everything. For instance, the idiot said I must have had a scratched CD repeating the first verse of the song over and over again. (How is that even possible? It would have skipped at some point instead, not repeat it!) Also, he tried to explain to me Danny was just the product of me grieving over Cubby's death and feeling guilty for the vandalism. (Guess what? Danny is not my imaginary friend! Grr!)

At that very moment, I wished my little "imaginary friend" Danny would appear in the office and torture the guy. I think I got my wish- immediately afterward, papers flew everywhere in the office and the pencil cups on his desk fell over. Baum ran out of the office in fear for his life; serves him right. Very shortly afterward, my parents sent me home with a refill of anti-depressants, one of the many things I do not need. At least I got out an hour early… I think Danny is getting along with me better each and everyday. Maybe I have broken his curse?

In response to the last sentence of 3/10/05: I don't think I have yet; I keep hearing the second verse of "Shinjitsu no Uta" everywhere now (Thanks for the lyrics!):

"Motto ima ijou ni hadaka ni natte

ikite yuku jutsu oshiete yo

honno sukoshi dake watashi o yogoshite

mawari o najusite to shite mo

shinjitsu no uta wa kono mune ni nagare"

I think I may crazy soon if that doesn't stop… .

And with that, Keith turned the page and resumed reading.

End of chapter three

A/N: Nothing much other than the fact I intentionally put Sam writing down where I got the lyrics since it is a good source. I just hope you enjoyed it and review before you go. Thanks for reading up to the current chapter.

Ja Ne!
