Years pass.
Hallucinations slow. Time slows. No donkey.
Sam tries talks, sleeps. Dreams. Sits Sam stands.
Sam comes, goes. Stops to tell. Looks. Stay. Company nice, always. Same language
Sam shares mouth words. Not like before. Okay. It's a start. Let's the end. Happy ever after. No rainbows, please. Sam spits rainbows. Paint red town.
Smiles. Sam laughs! STARS! Danny laughs!

Sam says okay.
Okay then. Danny okay.
Everything okay.
ooo
Time passes.
Not years, Danny thinks. Days? Maybe. Time passes, but time slows.
Sam and Danny talk. Laugh. Share.
Danny always listens
But Danny looks. Danny puts on thinking cap.
Sam is really color horse. Different likes, different hates. Different, things, people. Change.
Sam goes again. New mission.
Time passes. Danny rebuilds his World. Talks to clones. Fight. Base touch. Ignores them annoyed. Plants, build, eat. Danny looks around. Looks Outside, different. Talks to Mr. Spork the knife. Goodbye.
Still Danny thinks.
Sam is cheese-chalk. Danny different too. Away with faeries? More clueless. Shut up, hallucination Tuck! Bad luck! Bad-luck Tuck!
Ha.
Yeah. Sam is very different. Like puzzle. Jazz loves puzzles. Miss Jazz. Blues…
Possession? No. No blue, no ghost. Eyes purple.
Same purple. Different purple Different Sam. Hmm…
Not Sam?
Not Sam.
Who is not Sam?
Friend. Nice, not nice. Like Sam. But not Sam.
Who? Not Sam comes. Ask!

"Not Sam?" Danny mumbles as soon as Raven walks in. Raven drops her book.
"What?"
"Not Sam?" Danny tries again, squinting at her likes it's the first time he's seen her. "Right? Not Sam? Wrong? Sam?"
"Right," Raven confirms. Danny droops a little, sadden by this answer, but he does not break down. She wait until his emotions calm. He looks up to her.
"Who? Name."
"My name is Raven." She answers.
"R-raae-vve-nn." Danny rolls the name, testing it out. Tasting it. "Rae-venn."
Seeming he would probably be distracted by that new word for a while, Raven sits down and begins to meditate.
Azarath Metrion, Zinthos...
Azarath Metrion, Zinthos…
"Raven?"
She opens one eye. "Yes, Danny. That's my name. Raven."
"No-no." Danny shakes his head, but then rubs the back of his neck. "Hold, yes. Raven. But not name not- arg! Bone air!"
He pulls his hair before sighing. "Slow 1,2,3. Breathe. 1,2,3…"
"Raven." He looks up at her. "I, uh… thanks."
Raven lands hard on the floor and stares at Danny. The boy in the mirror snickers. She glares and he stops.
"Thank you. For," He continues, grinning shyly this time. Gratitude wafts to her like incense. "Everything. Thanks for everything."
She inhales and graces him with a smile.
"You're welcome." She has never been good with words, but this means a lot to her. He knows this, and he nods.
"So, Raven." The boy sits down to get more comfortable. "How was today?"

R2R:
To Amy and Guest: Thank you for the demands, because: Ta-da! Here's the update! Hope you liked it!
!
A/N: So fun to write. Who else is loving this crazy Danny?
I wanted to let Danny have his turn in what's going on and how he's taking it. Don't worry, Raven-lovers! We'll probably get to see more of her p.o.v next time.
Now to the Challenges.
!
Last Challenge's Answer: In Danny's terms, pink elephants = hallucinations. People in isolation tend to experience these often (probably not in the form of pink elephants), and Danny is no expectation. He usually knows when he is, but he doesn't catch them all the time.
I was so sad that only two people tried the last challenge. Thank you for both trying, Amy and muney73. I hope you guys got to open your invisible presents I gave Santa to leave under the tree for you guys, because they contain my love and cool stuff I think you'll like. (by the way muney73, I'm glad you are enjoying your pink elephant! As you can tell, they love to mess with peoples head's and are hard to get rid of [they sneak up on you when you least expect it!]).
Thank you also muney73 for your favorite ice cream flavor! There have been studies on how a person's ice cream flavor reflects the person's personality. This is why colleges and/or scholarships have this as an essay question sometimes. If anyone is interested in looking this up, Google: ice cream and personality. Read a few articles. It doesn't have every ice cream flavor, but it's really interesting! (Sorry muney73, they did not show what Napoleon usually reflected, but they do show the usual personality of chocolate lovers and strawberry lovers as well.)
Now to the next challenge!

New Chapter Challenge(s):
Since no one guessed the pink elephants correctly, I didn't get to hear any good hallucination stories. So if you feel comfortable doing so, please share one or more stories where you experienced a hallucination or something close to one. Don't worry, I will be telling one of my own as well in the next chapter.
Or:
Tell me your ideas/ what you would like to happen in "Broken Hearts, Shattered Souls. Mind you I already have the story planned from start to finish so I probably won't stray from my outline, but like Danny, I love to listen to others and what they have in mind!
!
Participants will earn an imaginary penny for your thoughts and for your stories I will pay an imaginary six Grubfars.
