Lord Cynic: "Whoa, over 10 reviews already. I'm stoked! I didn't expect more than 5 at this point. And this is barely 2 days after the second chapter! I'm on a roll! That said; expect some delays with the next chapter. I'm considering where to go after this chapter. You'll see when you get there. Be gentle!
To clarify, these are lyrics, this is Rosette and this is Chrono. That's right, it's our ever-infamous demon-nun couple! Enjoy!"
"Princess of the Shadow Land"
Yep, I'm writing for the reviewers from now on. Well, to some extent. I've gotta stay true to my original concept and swap the POVs around. But, for the meantime, it's Rosette and Chrono all the way. I'm glad you enjoyed poor Azmaria's responses to the ever-watchful Rosette. I heard "First Date" over the radio, and I figure either Joshua or Chrono would be appropriate. It's a short but convenient song. Sadly, it would suit me too… if I were to have a date. Heh.
"Outsane"
I think one of your fluff bunnies needs to go on a diet… he looks like a furry blimp. Sorry, I'm just being observant! Um… yeah, I fixed up the mistake. Meh, I guess I gotta look more into Japanese words…
"Maiden of the Moon"
Heh… I try not to sing out loud in public. They don't need to hear my atrocious singing. Better to do it in an empty house, while doing the dishes, or while in the shower. … What? Oh, and yep, there's Rosette and Chrono nutrition here. Well, hopefully enough to satisfy for 3 minutes. Gah!
"Mase-chan"
Um… let's see… fluff… well, sorry, I'm not sure. It doesn't look like fluff at first glance. More like random ramblings, and a little angst on Chrono's part. Gomen nasai!
"InuObbsessed o.o"
I hope I typed that properly… um… Yeah, this was definitely quick. I hope you like it. Thanks for the support.
Lord Cynic: "I don't own Chrono Crusade. And now I'll have to wait a few weeks to get Volume 1 of the manga… aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Er… "Dizzy" is by 98 Degrees and "Bad Case of Loving You" is by Robert Palmer. Heh…"
Jukebox selection 3
I wanna know who you are
No more admiring you from afar
You walk by and I get weak in the knees
I get next to you and I get dizzy, dizzy
The way you look, the way you move
You're body's tellin' me that I can't lose
You and me, we were meant to be
I get next to you and I get dizzy, dizzy
It looks like Joshua's enjoying himself. He's lucky, he's able to mix in with everyone and be their friend. Well, to those who want him to be. I'm not like that, but that's my choice. I'm better off staying here, out of the way. Although, I kinda like the girl he's dancing with. She seems so gentle, so caring, even if she's still staring at me bewilderedly. Doesn't she know what a smile means? Well, maybe she hasn't received too many in her life. I guess I can't blame her, then. Maybe I'm so terrifying that she can't take her eyes off me in case I attack her from behind... nah, of course not. I'm definitely charming.
My head is spinnin' 'round and 'round
You've got me feelin' like my feet aren't on the ground
What is this power that you have over me?
I get next to you and I get dizzy, dizzy
I don't know just what to do
I've been in love but this is somethin' new
You're the one for me, it's plain to see
I get next to you and I get dizzy, dizzy
At least this music's better than the crap that was on before. I couldn't stand that slow, mushy romantic garbage. I had to keep my lunch down when I heard all the implied sexual... stuff. Ergh, it makes me ill just thinking about it. All that crap about crying and 'becoming one'... Oh Almighty Punch, please cleanse the dirty thoughts circling in my mind! Why couldn't they provide alcohol? I'd never get drunk... of course not.
When my eyes open, I wanna see your face
Spending my days in your sweet embrace
Just one night with you could set me free
I get next to you and I get dizzy, dizzy
You make me think of things to come
I'm dreaming day and night of making love
I don't know what you're doin' to me
I get next to you and I get dizzy, dizzy
Oh, crap! Now I've spilt it all over my dress! Damn, I just bought this stuff so that I could come. Well, I didn't want to come, but my parents are cheapskates, they wouldn't lend a dime. As a result, I had to buy this darn thing myself, and it cost a bundle! Aww, now I've ruined it... Damnit, damnit, damnit! This just sucks! What I wouldn't give to wreak all sorts of hell on this place right now. That'd teach them for having fun... heh heh heh... but first, I gotta clean this up. Grr!

Finally, I found the toilets. Where's a towel... ah, here we go! I still hear the music... and it took me 10 minutes to get here. How loud are they even playing it? I'm surprised my ears didn't burst out there, come to think of it. ARGH! The water's spurting everywhere! Nooo! Now I've looked like I'm had an accident! I hope no one's seen me. That'd be a nightmare... and I didn't even want to be here. Gah, I hate this! Someone up there has a grudge against me! All I need to complete this crappy part of my life is...
Down with 98 degreesGirl, do you wanna get with me?
'Cause sexually it's plain to see
The way you move is making me dizzy
I don't know just what to do
I need some lovin', girl, to help pull me through
I'm feelin' you, I know it's true
I got nothin' but love for you
DAMNIT! Satella's in here too! C'mon, Rosette... turn around so that she doesn't notice you. Remain calm... big breaths... big breaths... ah, screw it! I'll just knock her out with a cubicle door and get the hell out of there! Hahahahahaha! ... or maybe not. She's a horrible snitch, and for some retarded reason you can still get in trouble at a place like this. Geez, people, it's a dance function! We're supposed to be allowed to do whatever we want! Which means... heads up, Satella! Muwahahahaha!
So, baby, shake it from side to side
Your sex appeal can't be denied
Got just one chance to make it right
And, girl, you know tonight's the night
So, baby, up, down, all around
Shake your booty to the ground
Take my hand and follow me
'Cause the way you move is makin' me dizzy
Oh, that felt so good. Seeing her face smash against the cubicle door, ahahahaha! I haven't had that much fun in ages! I've gotta do it again someday. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it at school. Too many teachers there... and it's too crowded. I might hit someone who didn't deserve it... yeah, right. Well, actually, I wouldn't dare lay a hand on some people. Joshua for one, and his new friend too, it seems. I've gotta say, I can see why Joshua likes her. She's a small but graceful dancer. Her eyes seem to show kindness but also shyness. And that hair, it's so beautiful. I wish I had that type of hair... instead of this blonde mess. Gah! It's the cause of the perverts I have to beat up! Damn!
My head is spinnin' 'round and 'round

Hey, Joshua and the girl have disappeared. I hope they're not up to anything... of that nature. Oh, but that couldn't be. He may be a sneaky little brat, but I know he has morals. Still, he thinks he can blackmail me in order to 'earn' money from me. Pfft, as if. He plans to catch me with a boy, but I won't give him the satisfaction. If I can stay hidden for the rest of the night, I'll be okay. Besides, I've said it once, I'll say it again: Boys (other than Joshua) are idiots.
So dizzy
Dizzy, dizzy
Oh, baby
Dizzy, dizzy
Dizzy, dizzy
Girl, you got me dizzy, yeah
What's that grumbling noise? I hope it's not someone coming to perv on me I'll rip them to shreds. Grr, it's getting louder. They better not be behind me. I HATE it when people try to sneak up on me from behind, it really erks me! I'm not even dressed to deliver a jump kick to the idiot's head. Damn this dress and these shoes. They cost me a fortune, and they're not even useful for self-defence. Damnit, it's getting louder still! That's it! Whoever the hell you are, you're dead! Oh, wait, it's my stomach... eheheheh... I guess I'm hungry... I'd better step out of the hall and get something to eat in the foyer.
Whooaaaaa
The hot summer night fell like a net
I've got to find my baby yet
I need you to soothe my head
Turn my blue heart to red
This looks like so much fun. People dancing to the beat, or talking in small groups. Sigh... I wish I could do the same. However, I'm not like them, so I gotta lay low. But still, this wall kinda hurts. I dunno when the last time they did maintenance was, but I think it needs repairs. There's cracks in it everywhere... and nails hanging out. Oww! Gah, one of them caught my coat! Get it off, get it off! ... Phew, that was close. Thank goodness that no one saw that. I don't want to be alienated even more.
Doctor, doctor, give me the news
I've got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I've got a bad case of lovin' you
This is such a strange song. I don't usually pay attention to the words, most probably because I don't listen to this type of music, but it's all so odd. Patients treated for love? What does that mean? Is it a bad thing? Maybe the person's sick, and 'love' is the disease. But then, I thought love was something magical, something wonderful. Why would he need to be treated for it? It doesn't make any sense. Sigh... Maybe I should have stayed at home after all. I don't belong here.
A pretty face don't make no pretty heart
I learned that, buddy, from the start
You think I'm cute, a little bit shy
Momma, I ain't that kind of guy
Oh, that's good, there's a vacant table. Now I won't get a bad back from leaning on the wall. Oh, no, I guess not, someone's already taken it. I guess I should expect it, though. I'm an outcast, so of course I'll be pushed aside. Still, I'm trying to get along with people. Although, I guess I'm not trying very hard. After all, I'm just sitting by myself. But, strangely, it feels warm here, almost comfortable... as if I hadn't left home.
Doctor, doctor, give me the news
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you
Whooaaa
Home... I guess I miss it a lot. I don't even have any real parents, so I was adopted. I don't even remember them, and there are no photos of them anywhere. Don't get me wrong, I love my adoptive parents, but you can't expect me to believe they're my flesh and blood. I can't talk to them about everything, even if they're very caring and loving. They mean the best for me, and I guess that's why they insisted I attend this dance. But I don't think it'll help, especially after 'she' dumped me.
I know you like it, you like it on top
Tell me, momma, are you gonna stop?
'She' was very beautiful. She had eyes that would soothe the savage beast in everyone, and a smile that literally lit up an entire room. She would never get angry, and even when she was annoyed she wouldn't lash out at the culprit. Instead, she'd laugh it off and continue as if nothing happened. She was perfect in every way, and she loved me. But then, she didn't. All of a sudden, she'd told me she'd found another boy, and left it at that. Worst of all, she didn't express any sign of remorse or regret, and didn't even apologise. After that, I've given up on real love, since it all ends in heartbreak. It's just not worth it.
You had me down, 21 to zip
Smile of judas on your lip
Shake my fist, knock on wood
I've got it bad, and I've got it good
That's when I had to change schools, since I was psychologically unfit to continue at my old one, since 'she' still attends it. I just couldn't bring myself to go back, knowing that I'd still be seeing 'her' every day. I'm convinced this was the best choice, but it's tough being the new kid on the clock. Everyone looks at you strangely, and when you look like I do, they multiply ten-fold. Long, braided violet hair, crimson-toned eyes and pointy ears don't necessarily make for someone bound for popularity. At least I know how to get used to it.
Doctor, doctor, gimme the news
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you
Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. If they choose to talk to me, they can. I'm in no rush. After all, I have no recollection of my past, so there's nothing for me to reflect on. I should be grateful for the love my adoptive parents give me, but there's no denying that I would be much happier if circumstances were different. Alas, I don't have the luxury. I'm here now, without real parents, without friends, without a whole heart. But one thing's for certain, I won't let myself fall so easily into the trap that is love, not again. Whoa, that was a deep grumble. I guess I must be starving. Maybe getting some food into me will take my mind off things. I wonder if they have steak...
Lord Cynic: "I tried for a bit of humour and angst in there. I hope I haven't offended anyone. Again, expect some time before the next reply. This was done on the weekend in 6 hours… so… I'd be stuffed while doing it after school during the week."
