While I was running through my collection I came across this song that might be a possible way for Doug to move on to antoher world just not his home one.
Bob Seger - "Sailing Nights"
www.daily-lyrics-place.co...yrics.html

Like Doug needs _another_ flight song, but...
Fly Away (Lenny Kravitz)
I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
I got to get away
Feel I got to get away
Oh oh oh yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
Oh Yeah !
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away
I want to get away (4x)
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away
I want to get away (4x)
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah--

I remember, back in the late 80s, seeing a video from michael jackson, a badly animated video with him dancing with the Elephant Man's skeleton.. one of the lyrics scraps I remember appears to be the chorus
"Just leave me alone (leave me alone)"X3
but I can't remember the title, and I can't find it with a preliminary search of MJ Lyrics sites, and my skull hurts too much to continue, so I'm going to take some percoset and go to bed.

Okay, sorry.
So will this be before or after Buckaroo's second wife's death?

What in the world is DW IV? You skip right past it and I don't know why I never noticed it before.
-murmur

You know, having finished reading TokyoPop's Kodocha manga (haven't finished the anime because I can't find the anime. Grr. Darnit), a good point to insert Doug the Bodyguard would be just after or just before Sana's attack by Naozumi's crazed fans. It'd make sense that Rei would want more protection for Sana after that incident.
But how would that effect the rest of the series? After all, it's a big deal that Hayama goes alone to find the suicidal kid and would Doug leave Sana's side as she is his principal?
But that doesn't stop Doug from surrepitously healing Hayama of his nerve damage. So that could be the point in which the series diverges. What changes would build up as Hayama's father doesn't need to send his family to the U.S. and Sana's emotional break doesn't occur (or does it?)
And so on.
Something to think about.
-murmur
Doug: Hey, what's that!
Hayama: . . .
Doug: Just turn your head and look!
Hayama: Why?
Doug: Um . . . it's a dinosaur!
Hayama: Really?
*clonk*
Doug: Now for some covert musical healing, moo hoo ha ha!

I thought you'd like to know... I deleted 4K of song lyrics from the file before getting the count that's displayed tonight. That means the total written is 4K more than it appears to be...
Big scene. Big doin's. Hope the prereaders like it...

There is no spork.

Everyday is a new day
(Im thankful for every breath I take)
I wont take it for granted
(So I learn from my mistakes)
Its beyond my control, sometimes its best to let go
(Whatever happens in this lifetime)
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind
chorus:
I feel so alive for the very first time
I cant deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly
Sunshine upon my face
(A new song for me to sing)
Tell the world how I feel inside
(Even though it might cost me everything)
Now that I know this, so beyond, I cant hold this
(I can never turn my back away)
Now that Ive seen you
I can never look away
[chorus]
[bridge:]
Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
Now that I see you (I could never look away)
Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
Now that I see you (I believe no matter what they say)
[chorus x 2]

Barenaked Ladies - "Another Postcard"
You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail
I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas
But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees.
Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine
Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine.
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.
(CHORUS x2):
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me.
If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great
He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate
I'm losing sleep - and it's gonna be keeping me up all night
I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight.
Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang
Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang
A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth
A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath.
(CHORUS x2)
Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home
No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone
Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind
But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find
Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats, some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.
Another postcard with chimpanzees
And every one is addressed to me.
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.
Every one is, every one is, every one is addressed to me.
(CHORUS x4)
Some chimps in swimsuits, Some chimps in Jackboots
Some chimps in hard hats, Some chimps who love cats
I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair
I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear.
Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can
A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam.
Some chimps in Mustangs, Some chimps in chain gangs
I got a birthday wishin' chimp and I got the goin' fishin' chimp

Top Hat, White Tie and Tails
Fred Astaire
Words and music by Irving Berlin.
Introduced by Fred Astaire in the motion picture "Top Hat."
(verse)
I just got an invitation through the mails:
"Your presence requested this evening,
It's formal, a top hat, a white tie and tails."
Nothing now could take the wind out of my sails.
Because I'm invited to step out this evening
With top hat and white tie and tails.
(chorus)
I'm puttin' on my top hat,
Tyin' up my white tie,
Brushin' off my tails.
I'm dudin' up my shirt front,
Puttin' in the shirt studs,
Polishin' my nails,
I'm steppin' out, my dear,
To breathe an atmosphere
That simply reeks with class;
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust
When I step on the gas,
For I'll be there,
Puttin' down my top hat,
Mussin' up my white tie,
Dancin' in my tails.
Might put him into for the duration of one night by converting his present clothing. The clothes he wears may or may not retain their original properties (armor/tech?), but since the night does not exactly end at midnight they may not change back afterwards.
Since a tailcoat is worn after 6:00 PM or sun down (which ever is earlier) the song shouldn't do anything before that time.
