Allen trudged home down the worn sidewalk. Letting out a sigh, finally, he frowned as his mansion came in view. Cross had enough to buy a huge house, but not enough to pay off even half of his numerous debts.

Opening the front door, Allen quietly slipped in and up the wide staircase until he reached his room. Lightly closing the door behind him, Allen dropped his backpack into an ungraceful heap on the carpeted floor and threw himself onto the plush bed filling the center of the room. Burying his head into one of the many pillows and closing his eyes Allen drifted off to sleep.

His nap was interrupted with a loud boom as his door was thrown open. Standing in the door way was the one and only Cross Marian, who looked pissed. Allen groggily looked up at the fuming man.

"Yes?" He asked pointedly and Cross growled.

"Some kids came to the door looking for you. They are in the living room, so get down there before they annoy my… guests." Cross boomed and then stomped away. By guests Cross meant women, Allen mused and stood up, looking in the mirror above his chestnut desk.

Allen despised mirrors. All they did was reflect his hideousness back at him. But they were an important necessity when changing into his disguise. Allen straightened the wig and put his smile on, before trotting downstairs to where a nervous Lavi and Lenalee were stiffly sitting on the couch.

"Hey buddy!" Lavi chirped out and Lenalee looked sharply at him. "Hey buddy," Lavi whispered, looking warily at the door Cross had gone in.

"Hey Lavi," Allen said quietly and nodded to Lenalee. "You want to go upstairs?" He asked and the two nodded, following the brunette up the staircase. Allen opened the door to his room and closed it after his friends had entered. Lavi jumped onto his bed and Lenalee situated herself in Allen's hanging chair near the window.

"So what's up?" Allen asked, looking at the two.

"Oh, well a new buffet is opening downtown, and we were wondering if you would like to join us. We were actually about to go. I was going to text you, but Lavi really wanted to see your house. It definitely wasn't what I expected…" Lenalee trailed off and Allen smiled.

"Yeah, it is a bit, large." He commented and then looked at the clock on his bedside table. The neon numbers shone out 6:00 and he looked back at his friends. "Buffet… eh? Well sure, It will give me an excuse to get away from Cross." He grinned and a smile stretched across Lavi's face.

"Great!" The red-haired boy exclaimed enthusiastically. "Let's go" He said, dragging Allen by the arm, very quietly, mind you, down the stairs, with a silent Lenalee behind them. Closing the door lightly, the three gave a sigh of relief and Lavi ran over to the red car parked in the driveway.

"SHOTGUN!" Allen yelled and Lenalee pushed Lavi out of the driver's seat, taking reins. A gloomy Lavi jumped in the backseat and Lenalee pulled out and they shot towards the café.

Walking in to the small café, immediately a familiar face was recognized.

"YUU!" Lavi yelled and slid into the seat next to the stoic Japanese man. But he was pushed out of the booth by a well-aimed punch, delivered by a furious long haired man.

"Don't call me that." He growled and Lavi frowned.

"Sorry… Yuu-Chan!" Lavi giggled and Allen could see a vein throbbing on Kanda's head.

"Call me that again and I wouldn't hesitate to shove my sword up your.."

"Okay" Allen smiled warily, interrupting Kanda. "I know you, you are in my Chemistry II class, right?" Allen said politely, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, and you are the Moyashi I sit next to, right?" Kanda smirked and Allen clenched his fist, trying to ignore his strong urge to knock that asshole's lights out.

"Moy...a…shi?"Lenalee said sounding the word out. "What is that?"

"Beansprout…" Allen sighed and hung his head as his friends burst out laughing.

"He hit the nail on the head Allen," Lenalee giggled as she smirked at the fuming white haired boy.

"Did not!" Allen yelled and rubbed his head.

"Anyway," Lenalee said, slidding into the booth, sitting across from Kanda. Lavi quickly took the seat next to her, leaving Allen to sit next to… it.

"Did I tell you you could sit here?" Kanda asked as Allen took the seat warily.

"Yes." Lenalee grinned. Allen scooted closer to the edge of his seat.

"Che… whatever." Kanda said and Allen let out a sigh of relief.

A waitress came over and asked them what they would like.

"Three buffet meals please," Lenalee smiled and the woman wrote it down.

"Soba noodles." Kanda growled and the woman walked away, coming back with a pile of empty plates. Allen took a few and started running toward the buffet, this tongue hanging out and drool running down his face.

"FOOD!" he yelled and literally dove into the assorted meals.

"Wow." Lavi repeated, staring at Allen as they walked out of the restaurant. "Wow. I think you put them out of business." He said again, gesturing to the crying employees as they put the closed sign on the door.

"Oops," Allen grinned and a blush covered his cheeks. "I guess I was starving."

Kanda let out an annoyed sigh and glared at the three walking alongside him. "That was disgusting. You wolfed it down like some kind of retarded barn animal." He flung at Allen who growled back.

"Look Kanda, I was hungry." He pouted. "Unlike you who ate a tiny bowl of whatever that was. You acted like a girl on a diet."

Kanda's eyebrow twitched and his frown deepened. "You want to say that again?" he hissed and Allen stuck out his tongue.

"Gladly."

"Oh you are so dead Moyashi."

"My name is Allen, or are you too stupid to remember."

"Che, I see no Allen around here, only a tiny annoying little Beansprout."

"GUYS!" Lenalee interrupted them with a scowl etched into her face. "Allen, why I would never. I have never seen you be so rude! Apoligize right now!" She said and Allen sighed.

"Sorry… Bakanda." He mumbled with a smirk and Kanda's eyes blazed.

"Why you little!" Kanda started, but was interrupted when Lenalee grabbed the two teens by their ears and started dragging them to her car.

"Get IN!" She hissed, and pushed them into the backseat. Allen was sprawled over the backseat with Kanda on top, effectively squishing him.

"STRAP IN!" Lenalee said, pulling her own seat belt over her lap and putting her hands on the wheel. The two quickly separated, a slight blush on Allen's cheeks as Lenalee glared at Lavi, who looked like he was about to say something.

"Where are we going?" Allen asked as the car gave a lurch onto the road.

"The Noah Theme Park," Lenalee chirped, her happy demeanor back on. "Some guy there tried to say hi when I was there last week, so Komuli freaked and threatened to kill all the males in the park. But then the manger offered him a bunch of free passes, so now I have a couple extra to take you guys." She looked back at Kanda and Allen. "And no butts, ifs, no's, or whys!" She declared and Kanda and Allen exchanged looks.

Oh no.
