Two chapters in one day. Go myself. Well hope you like. Don't own Gravi.

Dear diary,

Before every time I tried to remember the past it made me feel sad, but today was different.

Earlier that day

Shuichi and I were sitting in front of the place that taught swing-dancing lessons. I was about to head in, when Shuichi said something.

"Yuki, before you go in. I want to know… what is your favorite American song?

I answered without thinking, "'December' by the Collective Souls."

"I haven't heard that. Why do you like that song?"

"It is an old song. I heard it when I was in New York."

"I know there is a story behind it." Shuichi urged me to continue

"Okay… it was a week before the…incident with Kitazawa. Kitazawa said that he was sick and Touma had this important meeting to attend so he asked me if I wanted to stay alone in the hotel. I mean come on a sixteen year old alone in a penthouse suit in America, of course I said yes," I smiled at Shuichi and then continued, "So I was listening to the radio when that song came on, and I immediately liked it. It just made me smile and I was dancing around the apartment. Well after the song ended, I would listen to the same radio station hoping that they would play it again, but they never did. Every day I would try to listen to that song again, but it never came on. Then, that stuff with Yuki happened and I could not smile, I felt horrible. Like I wasn't supposed to live, that I should have died to. I felt so sad and…. I just couldn't help myself." Tears fell down my face as I took a deep breath and continued, "And then, when it came time to go home, as we were driving in the car to the airport, that song came on. It made me smile…I felt like everything was going to be okay again. That I had a purpose in life. That I was going to make a difference."

I looked over at Shuichi and noticed that he was crying, too, "You know Shuichi the same thing happens when I listen to the 'Rage Beat'. It reminds me of you and it makes me want to fall in love with you all over again."

"Eiri I love you."

"I love you too." A comfortable silence fell around us.

"So are you ready to learn how to swing dance?" Shuichi asked.

"Hell yes!" I smiled at him with all my heart.

"Me too," We got out of the car and started to walk to the doors.

"You know Shuichi; you still have to tell me your favorite American song."

"I don't know if I could compare to yours."

"Nothing could compare to anything that I do, but I am sure it will come close." I joked around.

"I will tell you, if you let me listen to that song."

"Deal," I shook his hand and then took off screaming, "Race you inside."

"Hey you cheater, you got a head start." Shuichi screamed at me.

"You snooze you lose." I screamed back.
