Selfine: Hello to everyone! Please make sure to leave a review here so that the author will know whether to continue this fic or not.. This is a rewritten fanfic.

Suishou Yume: I hope you'll like this story. This would be in a 3rd person POV. Note: The timeline will be pretty much the same although Allen would be 5 years younger. There had been some changes made in here! FF title change from 'Dreams and the Musician' to 'Symphony of Dreams'!

Allen sighed. He was getting bored already. It had been snowing since yesterday and it still haven't stopped. He stared out of the window then glanced at the brown dog lying on the floor. He approached it and stroked its fur. Star wagged its tail in delight. Maybe Mana would allow them to play outside now. He got up and ran downstairs, Mana's dog bounded after him.

"Mana! Mana!", he yelled. Mana jumped up in surprise. Allen giggled at his reaction. Mana looked up from the newspaper." What is it, Allen?", he asked.

"Can we play outside?", he asked then held up Star's ball.

"I guess..", he said.

"Uhh.. Where's Roadee?", Allen asked, he was hoping that maybe she could also play with them.

Roadee has been living with them for three years. She had just came to their house one evening and Mana allowed her to stay with them. He faintly remember that night, it had been almost midnight. She had been soaking wet from the rain. When she first saw Allen, she suddenly hugged him. It felt strange being hugged someone you barely knew and yet she felt seemingly familiar. 'I shouldn't have trusted him that easily..', he remembered that she kept saying that as she hugged him. He'd been curious on who she was talking about but she wouldn't tell him, saying he was still young to understand.

"She's probably outside", Mana said." Allen, don't go somewhere too far... Remember what happened last time?"

Allen nodded then put his right arm across his left chest." I promise that I won't get lost again!", he said with a smile.

"Okay, you can go now but be home before lunch.."

He happily nodded. Allen ran outside, followed by Star. They bounded into a snow-filled street. He let himself fall backwards on the snow. The cold kinda surprised him. He giggled as Star licked him on the face. He sat up and smiled at Star."Let's play ball!", he said.

Star barked in response and ran on the opposite side of the street, Allen stood up and threw the ball. Star jumped and returned it. He tossed the ball again. Star jumped up again and tossed it back using his nose. Allen tried to catch it but it went a little higher for him to catch.

"I'll get it!", Allen yelled, even though Star wouldn't understand him. He ran to get the ball. It went so far that it had entered the forest near the town. Luckily, he easily found it. He picked it up and brushed the snow off it.

"Hello there..", a voice said.

Allen was startled a little. He looked up and saw a man dressed in a suit in front of him. "Uh.. Hello", Allen said uncertainly.

"What's your name, shounen?", the man asked. He hesitated. Mana and Road had told him not to just tell strangers his name. The man was gazed at Allen with a pair of golden eyes.

"Uh...I'm..uh"

The man smiled at Allen and ruffled his brown hair." There's no need to worry, shounen. I'm not a bad person..", he assured.

"Uhh..I'm Allen", he finally said.

"You seem like a nice boy", he said." Would you like to come with me?"

"W-where?"

"Some place fun."

"I don't know...", he answered. Mana had said that he shouldn't get too far from home and also he needed to return before lunch. Besides, he shouldn't go with people he barely knew.

"It will be alright..", he reassured me.

"Allen!", a voice called. Allen recognize it immediately. It was Road-ee's voice. He noticed the man had been muttering about something. Allen looked out of the forest and then back to the man."Umm.. I have to go..", he said, pointing at the town.

The man turned to him and smiled."I hope we could see each other again."

Allen turned and ran to where he heard Road's voice had came from. She was petting Star."Road-ee! Road-ee!"

She turned around and saw Allen. She smiled at him as he hugged her. Road had recently had her hair down. Her blue spiky hair reached down to her shoulder. Her purple eyes gleamed as she ruffled Allen's hair.

"Where have you been?", Allen asked, looking up at her.

"I was just walking around."

"We should go home now, Road-ee", I said."It's almost time for lunch."

Road giggled and picked up Star's ball that I have dropped."Let's go"

Tyki Mikk sighed. He just watched as the two left. He shook his head, he didn't like this mission. It would be nice if Road were to return to Duke Millenium's side and much better if the fourteenth would too. But they seem to like the way they were living now, away from the war.

He turned to face the forest. He knew that he wouldn't like what he was going to do next but have no choice. The Millenium Earl had made it clear to them. They needed the ninth and fourteenth disciples back at any cost...

"W~what's for lunch? What's f~for lunch?", Allen asked in a singsong voice as they entered the house. He happily skipped inside the house, following Road. Road giggled."Ne, Mana", she called." Allen's hungry!"

Allen ran towards the kitchen quickly. He figured that Mana would be there since he'll be preparing lunch. The moment Allen set his eyes on the kitchen, he stopped on his tracks. His eyes widen. It... was Mana. He was sprawled on the ground. And he didn't seem to be breathing.

"Mana...", At first he was too stunned to move at all but then he ran beside Mana and started to shake him. No response.

"Shounen..", a voice said.

"W-what happened?", he asked without looking up. He had already recognize the voice. Allen could feel tears run down my cheeks. Why isn't Mana moving?

"He's already dead", the man said, he lit up a cigarette. He was smiling as he said it." It's only natural. Humans die."

"N-no... t-that can't b-be!", he shook Mana again. His arms started to tremble as he shook him. Mana can't be dead!... He can't be!

"Get away from him, Allen!", he heard Road yelled. Allen suddenly found himself staring at Road's purple eyes. She looked at me with a pair of concerned eyes. His vision was blurry from the tears.

"Road-ee..", Allen sniffed."Mana..Mana is.." He can't get myself to say it. It can't be true! This has to be some nightmare. Star came by then licked his hand, maybe to comfort Allen. Road stood up and faced the man. There was something he can't describe the way Road stared at the man.

"Tyki Mikk.."

"Join back to the earl's side, Road", he said."or else the dead bodies might pile up."

Allen could feel something rising up inside him... Anger? Maybe that's what it is. Why did he killed Mana?.. He killed one of the persons that only cared for me. Allen stood up and wiped his tears. He glared at the man... Allen started to hear music then a memory flashed at him...

-Start of flashback-

Allen touched the keys of the grand piano. It was inside a store. The owner had allowed them to play it if they want to. Allen pressed one of the keys uncertainly. Mana approached Allen and peered over his shoulders. "Do you know how to play, Allen?", Mana asked.

Allen shook his head."Not much."

"Then, I'll teach you a song..", Mana said to Allen with a smile. He started to play the song. It seemed peaceful and sad to me. It sounded familiar to Allen in a way.

Allen looked up at him." What's that song called?"

"It's the Musician's song, Allen."

"Please teach me how to play it!"

Mana laughed then glanced at Road who smiled back."Of course, Allen", Mana replied.

-End of flashback-

~Symphony of Dreams ~Symphony of Dreams

Allen opened his eyes. It was like waking up from a dream. He sat up. Allen held up his head in sudden pain. When he removed his hand he noticed that there was blood on it. Where had it came from?

"Allen?"

"Road-ee..W-what happened? Where's the man earlier?", Allen asked as he looked around. Everything was in ruins. What had happened? Allen saw Star trotting behind Road.

"Y-you don't remember?", Road asked.

"Remember what, Road-ee?"

Road didn't answer. She just knelt in front of Allen and wiped the blood from his forehead."We need to go, Allen..", she said. Allen looked at Mana's lifeless body."Mana.."

There was a soft look on Road's eye as she stared at Mana's body...

Allen placed the white flowers in front of Mana's grave. Star was anxiously waiting while Road was beside Star. Allen touched the top of the tombstone. Who was that man? Why had he killed Mana?

"Bye, Mana..", Allen whispered. He turned to Road and walked towards her. Allen took one last glance at Mana's grave. Somehow, he have a feeling that they won't be able to visit him often.
