Dear Diary –

I was about to go out on my balcony tonight when I saw Chat sitting up on the banister looking all mopey. He's usually a pretty positive person (cat? hehe idk) so to see him so down about something almost makes it worse than seeing some grumpy person all glum and stuff. So instead of going out there, I decided to make something for him. I had to keep checking to make sure he stayed out there; he must have really been down to just sit out there and not go out roaming around or inside for snacks. When my "Chat-ified" flashlight was done (I am so proud of how the outline of his profile on the light turned out, it is so cool!) I propped it up so the light shone on the wall of the bakery by the trapdoor. Chat was still facing out toward the city, so I called out in the best 'help-me-I'm-a-weak-princess-who-needs-her-knight! voice I have (it's not very good, I admit). When he turned around, I put the back of my hand on my head and tried to swoon without smiling. He saw the light, I completely lost it, giggling. Oh, gosh, the look on his face! It made him laugh, and now I always have a sure-fire way to light up my little kitty's heart when he's feeling a little down: just turn on the "Chat Symbol". :)

And bring cookies, or he will try to "save" you in some way or another. And I can go out on trips around Paris on my own (yeah, I know he doesn't know that yet). Although I will admit, seeing the "Chat Symbol" flashing all around Paris was pretty fun. ;)

Alya's going to love those pictures. If she ever gets to see them...
