''Kanda?...Kandaaaaa!.…'' Allen's yell echoed throughout the house before he remembered what he had been told earlier. Yawning, Allen wandered down the endless hall of the mansion that they called their home to get a bit of much needed rest.

Kanda, Lenalee and Lavi were all in a hurry to prepare for the night of the big party. Allen had been told to stay home ahead of time by Kanda who sad that he'd needed to run a few errands and that he would be picked up afterwards. Oh how he'd just wanted to spend a quiet Christmas with Kanda. But Kanda would never understand that, he thought with a sigh.

''Hang that over there Yuu-chan~ Perfect!'' grinned Lavi as Kanda decorated the last of the party room. '' Don't all me that, stupid rabbit!'' Said 'Yuu-chan' scowled and the red-head could've sworn he saw a tick mark form under Kanda's left eye.

Lenalee, who was in charge of decorating the tree and calling all of their guests had had enough of their bickering every five minutes and intervened. ''Now now guys, let's not fight on Allen's birthday. '' she sighed rather exasperated. Kanda che'd and got back to decorating while Lavi smiled and continued to stack the gingerbread.

Banners of silver, red, green, and frosty white were strung all around the room that would later be used to host both Christmas, and a certain beansprout's birthday party.

''Done.'' Lenalee proclaimed as she wiped the sweat off her brow and looked over the festive party room.

''Now to get Allen-chan!'' shouted a hyperactive Lavi.

''I'm on it.'' Kanda grabbed his brown leather coat from a couch and headed out the door.

A lot of people were out on the road that night, and Kanda cursed the fact. He just hoped he wouldn't get stuck behind some idiots who were driving too slow or for it to be the holidays or worse, careless drivers and traffic in general. Kanda's 'fears' were brought to life when just as he was about to make a right, some elderly couple cut dead in front of him and consequently made him wait behind the red light. ''Well isn't this just wonderful.''

While he waited for the light to turn green, Kanda figured he might as well turn off the car to save fuel. I wonder what the Moyashi's doing at home..

Allen sat up on his bed and gazed out of the icy window at the slowly fluttering snow, as it added to the white sparkling utopia that covered the once green lawn. Just as his eyes began to slide closed, he felt the blue phone Kanda had bought him vibrating in his back pocket.

Flipping it open he looked at the screen and read the text that he received from Kanda.

''I'll be there shortly, so get ready Moyashi'' Pouting slightly at the use of his nickname, Allen willed himself to get up and started to change clothes for whatever event he was being taken to.
