A/N: Hey, everyone! Here's another chapter for this fic! Yes, yes, I know, I updated this so soon. But hey, this is the advantage that one has whenever they're writing their fic in a diary/journal format. Your chapters can be shorter, simpler, and more to the point. Sounds pretty nice, am I right? :D

In other news, I'm still continuing my "Soul Eater" anime marathon as I'm writing this. At my current pace, I'll be done with all 51 episodes soon. I've also been able to read the final chapter of the original manga in its entirety via online source. Therefore, I have a lot more context as to how different the manga ending is compared to the anime. I might have to read another couple of chapters for some additional context, but other than that, yes, I have a clearer idea.

Why'd I mention this, you ask? Well, as I continue my progress with my "Soul Eater" marathon, I've been thinking of writing another fic for "Soul Eater" (yeah, I know, so soon), and this time, it won't be a fic that's in a diary format like this one. No, I'm talking about a basic fic with the third-person narrative that I'm more used to. I'm still thinking about what exactly it'll be about, but it'll likely be a continuation of some sort of the anime-exclusive ending. Even after contextualizing myself on the manga ending, I still think the anime ending might be better, at least for nostalgia reasons (no offense, manga fans), but there are some details from the manga (details that the anime definitely didn't touch on) that I might implement in that fic. We'll see... ;D

But in the meantime, as I continue to brainstorm, I'll keep on updating this fic. There's a story that I do want to tell here as well. It'll be a pretty unique presentation from me given the diary format, but hey, what good would I be as a writer if I don't experiment?

Alright, enough of this pointless rambling! Let's get on with the chapter. ENJOY!

P.S. #3: The coronavirus advisory that had been attached to my opening Author's Notes since 2020 is no longer posted there beginning May 11, 2023. The advisory's removal coincides with the lifting of federal emergency declarations in the U.S. on the aforementioned date.

In the meantime, please continue to stay healthy and stay safe!

P.S. #4: Beware reviews and PM messages from users describing themselves as artists who want to create artwork for your stories if you have any. These are nothing but scam bot accounts, and if you respond to any of them, this will trigger them to bombard you with additional spam.

Entry #2
Date: March 30, 2009

Dear Diary,

It's me again. Crona.

Maka tells me to start all of my diary entries with "Dear Diary". She says that everyone does that when they write in a diary. I don't know why, though. It's not like a diary like you is a real person. I'm not writing letters to anyone.

It sounds like when you write in a diary, you're talking to an imaginary friend. Like you're all alone in the world and no one wants to be your friend. No one wants to love you. You're so starved for love that you need a book to love you and like you and be interested in you. How sad is that? Getting an object that's not alive to like you? It's crazy.

Maka is with me right now. She wants to watch me write in you. She read my first entry and didn't like it. She says that I need to write longer entries, and that I need to write with my heart. Well, that's what I'm doing right now, and she doesn't look happy.

Maka just told me to start writing about all of the people in my life and what I think about them, honestly and accurately. Well, here goes.

Ragnarok is my Weapon. He got melted into me and became my blood. My blood is black because of him, you know? Ragnarok's also very mean. He likes to beat me up, flip my robe, and pull on my cheeks. I tell him to stop all the time because I can't deal with being naked and having stretchy skin, but he just keeps on doing it. My skin is like putty because of him. I don't like it.

Maka just did her Maka Chop on Ragnarok. I still don't know where she pulls that dictionary out from. It just comes out of thin air. Is she a Witch?

But Maka is kind. She's my first friend, and she's definitely not a Witch. She's more like a grizzly bear. She's strong, and you don't want to see her when she's angry. But she's also warm and kindhearted and loyal. I know that sounds like a lot of things for one person to be. But now, I sort of understand. She compared her mom to a grizzly bear once. I guess that means she's like her mom. She likes being like her mom. I'd like to meet her mom. She's missing, though. Maka says she's somewhere out there, traveling the world. I don't know why, though. If she's supposed to be warm and kindhearted and loyal, shouldn't she be with Maka, protecting her? Her dad's weird and creepy and very obsessive, but at least he's there for her when she needs it. I wonder what kind of animal Maka would compare her dad to?

Soul is Maka's Weapon and her closest friend. He can change into a big scythe with a scary eye on it. I don't know how to feel about him. He's nice but he's quiet around me. I don't know how to talk to him. I don't know if I can deal with talking to him. And he's always talking about being cool. I don't know what being cool means. If I show him that I don't know what it is, then he might not like me anymore. If he liked me to begin with. Maka just said that I can ask him what being cool means when he comes back. I guess I could give it a try.

Blair is a magic cat that lives with Maka and Soul. How does a cat have magical powers and be a girl but not be a Witch? That doesn't make sense to me. But Blair is nice when she's a cat. Her fur's very warm and soft. And her hat is cute. I like petting her. But when she changes into a human, she keeps hugging me so tightly and her boobies squish my face so hard. I can't deal with boobies. I guess Maka can't deal with it either because she keeps using her Maka Chop on Soul whenever that happens. I don't know why. Sometimes Soul isn't the one getting hugged and she still does it to him.

Black*Star is one of Maka and Soul's friends. I don't know how to deal with him the most. He laughs so loud all the time, he fights everyone, and he keeps talking about how great he is. He's the opposite of me. I'm not special. I'm not able to surpass God. Black*Star scares me, honestly. I can't deal with being more powerful than God. But sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be him. To think so highly of yourself. Everyone keeps telling me that I need higher self-esteem. Black*Star has that. Sometimes I wonder. Maka just said that I can try asking him. She doesn't like the idea, but I guess I could give it a try.

Tsubaki is Black*Star's Weapon and one of Maka and Soul's friends. She can change into all sorts of things, but Black*Star likes to change her into a sword the most. They call it the Enchanted Sword. She's so nice, warm, and gentle, and she makes such good food. She stops by once a week to drop off stuff she made for us. Even though Ragnarok likes to eat most of it, I thank her all the time. She's like a mom to everyone, even Black*Star. I don't know how she can deal with Black*Star every day. I think about that every day. To be able to deal with someone like Black*Star. Is that also high self-esteem? I wonder.

Kid is another one of Maka and Soul's friends. He's nice, I guess. He loves symmetry, though. I went on a mission with him once at an abandoned library, but he spent an hour rearranging the books and bookshelves. The Kishin Eggs we were hunting got away and made a mess of the library. They were conjoined twins, kind of like me and Ragnarok. Kid freaked out because of the mess, and I didn't know how to deal with it. Sid the scary zombie had to come and pick us up. I think Kid and I are alike. We don't know how to deal with stuff. He just knows how to deal with more stuff than me. I should talk to him more about that.

Patty is one of Kid's Weapons and another one of Maka and Soul's friends. She's like a kid. She's so cheerful all the time, but she gets distracted by the weirdest things. And I think she's actually scary, deep down inside. When I was at the library with Kid for that mission, and Kid started freaking out about the mess the Kishin Eggs made, she started yelling at Kid with this very terrible, horrible, frightening voice. It reminded me of . . . i dont want to talk about that i dont know how to deal with Patty i don't want to do something thatll get her mad at me i dont want that to happen i dont i dont i dont idont idontidontidont

I'm calm now. Maka just told me to write that. She wants me to write that whenever I get scared of something while writing. She also tells me that she'll talk with Patty about how she acts around me. I hope she doesn't Maka-Chop her, though. I don't want Patty to get mad at me. If she gets mad at me, I hope Liz will be there, at least.

Speaking of Liz, she is Kid's other Weapon and another one of Maka and Soul's friends. She's Patty's sister, actually. But she's the opposite of Patty. I don't know to describe it. I guess she always has this way of dealing with things and helping other people deal with things, even when we're in the middle of a battle. I really don't know how to describe it. I really, really, really don't. All I know is that she can deal with things, even Patty when she's mad. The only things that she can't deal with are ghosts. I agree with her on that. Ghosts are really creepy. I mean, they're going to stay on this earth and float around forever and ever and ever and not go away? I don't think I can deal with floating around the world and watch it change while I'm still me. Liz has the right idea about ghosts. I like Liz more than Patty. I can deal with her better. She's very nice to me, anyway. I don't know, but she's very nice and I like it.

I'm sorry about Ragnarok. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be his diary too. Maka tells me that this should be my diary only. But Ragnarok's just going to beat me up if I don't share it with him. And his name's on the front of the diary. So I guess it's his. Maka keeps saying that it shouldn't be. I don't know. I don't know how to deal with not sharing something with Ragnarok because he's always attached to me.

Ms. Marie is one of the teachers at Maka and Soul's school, the DWMA. She's the nicest person in Death City, besides Maka. I'm staying with her now. She takes such good care of me every day. Every time I return from the DWMA, she asks me how I'm doing and how my lessons went. Every time I get scared of something or become doubtful of myself, Ms. Marie always has something wise to say, like Maka. And when things get really bad for me, when I need to hide in my corner, she sits with me and hugs me until I get better. It doesn't matter if I try to push her away. She hugs me and won't let go until I stop shaking. She's stronger than she looks. Maka tells me that Ms. Marie's like the mother that I always deserved. Well, Ms. Marie is like Maka's mom. She's strong, and she can be scary when she's angry, but she's also warm and kindhearted and loyal. I think I know how to deal with Ms. Marie. I like her, actually.

Professor Stein is another one of the teachers at the DWMA. When I say that I'm staying with Ms. Marie now, I mean that Ms. Marie and I are staying with Professor Stein now. Professor Stein is the opposite of Ms. Marie. He's so scary. He's one of the scariest people in Death City. He's very wise, though. He watches us when we do our Soul Resonance training. But I can't deal with living with a guy that's got a big screw in his head. He's always turning it until it clicks. What does it mean when it clicks? Ms. Marie really, really likes him, though. I think Professor Stein likes her too. Are they going to marry?

And then there's Lord Death, Shinigami. He's Kid's father and the headmaster of the DWMA. He's so cheerful all the time. He reminds me of one of those inflatable people you see at the front of those places that sell cars.

Maka's laughing right now, but I don't get it. She told me to write about all of the people in my life and what I think about them, honestly and accurately. Isn't that what I'm doing right now?

Anyway, I don't know how to deal with him. Is the skull his actual face, or is it a mask? Kid has a skull mask that looks just his father. And how does Shinigami have those big hands of his? They're bigger than his head and most of his body, and I don't think that sounds healthy. It freaks me out, seeing those hands of his. It makes me want to hide my own hands. Even worse, Shinigami has his own Chop, the Death Chop. I wonder if Maka learned her Maka Chop from him.

Well, that's it for all the people in my life. I really don't know anyone else that well. I just stay close to Maka, Soul, and their friends. They're all so nice to me. But sometimes they're not so nice to each other. Maka and Soul argue all the time, Black*Star keeps telling the others about how better he is than them and everyone else, Kid yells at everyone whenever things aren't symmetrical, Liz yells at Kid for caring about symmetry, Patty can get scary. I may not know a lot about friends, but I feel like friends shouldn't yell at each other and insult one another. That doesn't sound very friendly.

Maka's not watching me right now, so that's why I'm writing this. Maybe I'll ask her about that. One of these days.

As for what I think of everyone, I think they're nice. I know I wrote all about how weird they can be, but they're nice to me. They try their best to make me feel welcome. I try to feel welcome, but I always get left out of their conversations in the end. I still don't know how to deal with other people. Maka's the only one I can deal with. But I don't want that to be the case all the time. I don't want the others to try so hard all the time. I want to be their friend, I really do.

I just don't know how to deal with other people. I don't.

A/N: And that marks the end of this chapter! Looks like Crona's making good progress in writing more fleshed-out diary entries, but right now, Maka's supervising him. Who knows if he'll be able to pull off writing diary entries on his own? Stay tuned to find out, I guess!

Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter! TheCartoonFanatic01 is out. Watch out for the next chapter, or I'll take your soul!
