"Bleh, LA kinda sucks..." I sighed, roaming the halls of the building in a poor attempt to find my new apartment.
"Oh c'mon Hoshi! Aren't you happy to see everyone again?" My twin sister and roommate, Lenalee spoke cheerily.
"Of course I am! Kinda nervous though..." I trailed off.
"I'm sure you're plenty happy with the fact that you're local to Lavi again though, hm?" She grinned at me knowingly.
"I-I don't have the slightest idea what you're implying!" I frowned, silently cursing at myself for the stuttering.
"Yeah, what ever you have to tell yourself~!" She giggled and decided to drop it thankfully.
We had finally found the apartment and had started to unpack our tilting tower of boxes.
READY STEADY CAN'T HOLD ME BACK!
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK!
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK!
LET'S GET STARTED READY STEADY GOOOO!
"Oh, Allen's calling." I stated hearing the theme from my pocket.
"Really? You gave him the theme song from that anime?" Lenalee sighed and shook her head.
"Of course, him and Ed both have a short complex! ...Never tell him I said that though.."
I finally answered the phone and heard the cheery voice of our child-hood friend on the other end.
"Hoshi! I heard you and Lena are in town?" He asked excitedly.
"Yeah, we're in the process of moving into our apartment as we speak! Hold on, I'm gonna put you on speaker."
I fumbled with the small cellular device to activate speaker.
"Hey Allen!" Lena chimed.
"Hey! Why don't we all get together soon? We'll bring the whole group back together to celebrate you guys getting here!" Allen suggested, sounding pleased with himself.
"Everyone?" I asked, trying to mask my hope.
"Well...maybe not Lavi, I don't hear from him often...sorry, Hoshi."
"It's ok. Maybe he'll surprise us, and even if he doesn't we can have fun without him!" Lena patted my shoulder.
"ALLEN! BRING ME ANOTHER BEER...AND THAT SANDWICH YOU'RE MAKING!"
"BUT IT'S MY PRE-DINNER SNACK!"
"I DON'T CARE, I WANT IT!"
"BUT CROSS-! Ugh, I gotta go guys, I'll text you details when I know what's up!"
"ALLEN I'M HUNGRY DAMNIT!"
"I'M COMING YOU DRUNK BASTARD!"
*click*
"He hung up on us..."
"I guess Allen still lives with his dad's friend, Marian Cross." Lena spoke up.
Like I had told Hoshi and Lenalee I texted everyone: Kanda, Miranda, Krory...even Lavi. They had all responded except for the red-headed actor.
Staring at my phone I sighed and gave it one more try, my fingers hitting the screen to type out the message.
'Hey, I know you're busy and your Grandpa is strict but we all really miss you, so if you can show up tomorrow it'd mean a lot to everyone! No one's seen you in years.'
