3: Fangirls Are Always Right

(N/A: Okay, so I have kind of decided upon Cooler Than Me to be the song, but I would love suggestions if any of you think of a more fitting song! I chose this because of an AMV on YouTube for Shizaya, go watch it! )

"Dad, stop playing the cornet! This song doesn't have brass in it!"

"But son, you can never understand the incredible powers of such a great instrument! It's calling for me, Shinra." Shingen Kishitani sighed, but put down the instrument which looked like a small trumpet.

"Dad, how come the only instrument you brought was brass when this song could mix with a whole load of other musical genres EXCEPTING BRASS. Seriously, I told you specifically. No brass instruments!"

"I thought you were joking!"

Shinra sighed. "And plus, why are you wearing a gas mask?!"

"It's not a gas mask. It's white. And plus, the air in Japan is disgusting!"

"You can't play an instrument like that!"

"So what?"

"That's the one reason I asked you to come!" Shinra sighed again and took the cornet from where Shingen had left it.

"Ah well, I can still play the electric guitar." Shingen grumbled.

"But the electric guitar only has a tiny segment!"

"Well then, what about the drums? I can do them."

"..." Shinra paused. He gave his father a hard look, but sighed and agreed, "Fine, you do the drums, it's probably the most used instrument except for the keyboard."

"Yay!"

"But you're the one buying me sushi when this is over!"

"Of corse Shinra, of course."

...

Celty was on a mission. It wasn't a very hard one, and it wasn't at all needed, but she wanted to do it for Shinra. She knew he wasn't sure the lyrics he'd written were good, even after taking a lot of the suggestions from people over the Internet.

She was speeding on her motorbike, yeah, but what can you do? No cops around. Celty skidded to a halt when she saw just what she was looking for. It was a large van parked outside Russia DJ Dance Club and she knew exactly who it belonged to.

She left her bike parked outside and ventured into the dance club. The first thing she was greeted with was Simon.

"Dance! Dancing good, dancing relieves stress! Dance make you happy!" Simon was calling out so loud that passersby outside could probably hear him from miles off. He paused when he saw Celty, but quickly resumed his calls, presumably deciding to ignore her presence for the time being.

Celty scanned the room. Where's a fangirl hardcore yaoi-shipping otaku when you need one? She walked round to the dance floor, and what she saw made her think 'oh god...'

On one side of the dance floor was Togusa, Dotachin Walker and Erika. On the other side was Kida, Mikado, a very nervous-looking Anri, and Aoba. The music stopped- Vorona was sitting in the DJ's area with a bored expression on her face, what watching all hell break loose.

Celty wasn't prepared for what they were arguing over.

"You call yourselves otakus?!" Kida cried, "You have worse taste in anime than my MOM! You can't appreciate the wonders of Harem anime!"

"We're not hating on Harem anime! Can't you see School Days was a pile of sh*t?!" Walker shouted angrily.

"Come on Walker, calm down. It's just anime." Dotachin tried.

"'Just anime'?! Kyouhei, this is the most important thing you can argue about!" Aoba retaliated fiercely. Kida looked surprised- he wasn't exactly buddy-buddy with Aoba, yet here he was arguing along with him.

"Yeah Dotachin, do you not see how immensely anime morphs the entirety of Japanese culture?! Anime is what the outside world sees when they think of Japan, and such a horrid creation as School Days is ruining anime for everyone!" Erika argued.

"No it's not! You just don't relate to the main character because he's a boy so your biased!" Kida defended.

"Masaomi we should really calm down..." Mikado said in a weak voice. Kida ignored him.

"It's hopeless, Mikado." Anri sighed.

"You know what's hopeless? The fact that we're arguing about anime in here when anyone could be wrecking my van out there!" Togusa cried, pointing to the door.

"WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR VAN!" Aoba, Kida, Walker and Erika shouted in unison, making Togusa angry.

"You don't care, hmm? You want to walk home, then?"

"Togusa, they didn't mean it. You can check on the van, ok? You don't have to be here." Dotachin sighed. Togusa shot him a glare but walked out all the same.

"..."

Everyone was quiet for a second. Celty took this moment to interfere. She walked in the middle and pushed them away, the music started up again, and Erika looked a bit deflated.

"What do you want, Celty? It's been a while." Dotachin asked as they made their way to a quieter corner of the room.

[Shinra's done the lyrics for the song. I wanted Erika to check them over, she's a kind of expert on shipping and romance.] Celty thought for a moment. [At least, in anime and manga.]

"Awesome! Erika, you're a proofreader!" Walker grinned, all earlier venom in his voice lost.

[Here you go. You only need to have a quick look if you're late for something.] Celty typed, passing over two pieces of paper paper flipped together.

Erika looked them over. Her eyes widened at the first verse, before grinning as she turned the page to look at the second half of the song. Her eyes looked like anime stars and she did a classic fist-bump in the air when she was done.

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect! It portrays their absolute competition, but also their secrecy love and how they feel the same for each other but they can't think of a way to confess their love! And I love how the parts are divided, ten out of ten!" Erika made extravagant gestures in each sentence to let her exit emery come across.

"Tell Shinra it's fangirl approved!" She finished, giving Celty a thumbs up with one hand and returning the paper with the other.

[Thank you! Shinra will appreciate it.]

"And just imagine all the views I'll get on YouTube when I tell them I've seen the lyrics first! I won't leak them of course, but I'll get views all the same, especially since Shinra promoted my channel on TalkJapan! Thank him for that, will you?"

[I will. Well, I have to go, so have a nice time!] Celty went back out, a grin on her face, and raced back to Shinra with the good news.

(N/A: I'm sorry it's a bit short, I just wanted to get this out there quick. Btw, Celty has a head. It looks like it is in the anime, if that helps you picture her. She's just mute.

Also, anyone who read the last chapter before I updated it, I'm sorry I got Mairu and Kururi the wrong way round! It's fixed now. Thanks to DrowningInTheHourglass for notifying me! I know it doesn't seem like I considered your suggestions but I wrote this before I read the reviews and I'm too lazy to edit it at the moment.. Sorry. But the song is NOT fixed! If I get suggested a song which I think fits better than Cooler Than Me, I'll edit the story around it.
