Disclaimer: If ever I owed D. Gray Man then.. Yullen, LaviLena, and other things would be thrown to the world like a confetti..however things like that only exist in dreams *sobs*
Lenalee woke up earlier than usual and was unable to go back to slumber. Bringing a hand to her slightly messy hair, she decided to sit up and stretch her arms and legs before yawning. The Chinese girl realized that yawning like that was unladylike and she somehow did it (thanks to Lavi's Habit of yawning like that) Lenalee giggled at her newfound action. Doing something freely like this was fine with her. She brought a hand to her hair and tried fixing the tangles in her hair.
It has been a week since she met Lavi, Allen and Kanda, and she proudly admitted that she really enjoyed being with them. She learned a lot about her friends during the past days. Lavi seemed to be a part of the newspaper club, though Lenalee had found it weird at first, and worked there as an article writer. The red head boy exclaimed about how he didn't want to join the club yet he was forced to when his grandfather, nicknamed as Panda by Lavi, threatened to take away his 'treasures' (aka female bikini pictures) and erase its existence out of Earth.
"That Panda!" Lavi had exclaimed back then, "He even talked to the club moderator to reserve a position for me and with some kind of spell I don't know he even made our hot, sexy principal (Lulubell) agree to his wish and thus made sure I could 100% enter the club."
Lenalee chuckled as she recalled Lavi's whining. He said that the 'panda' was probably some kind of evil sorcerer who control people's mind through black magic. Or a black witch in disguise who makes horrible potions and stir with pitiful people's minds and he started coming up with silly theories that went to the thought where 'Panda' was probably a hybrid of a panda and an elf who escaped from the science laboratory to spread its darkness and destroy the workd. Ah, Lavi and his over-active imagination.
Lenalee was finished with her hair when she heard a knock on the door and she glanced at the clock. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she hadn't noticed the time.
"Lenalee-sama, your bath is ready"
"I'm coming in a few seconds."
When Lenalee entered the bathroom she washed herself clean before submerging her body in the tub. As she was busying with the body washing, her thoughts wondered about her new discovery of Allen. Surprisingly, the white haired boy was working as a waiter on a cross-dressing café. Allen was so embarrassed at being caught that he turned so red and couldn't do his work without stuttering. Lenalee discovered that Allen only worked here during weekends, and she could still remember when Allen, like Lavi, complained about his job…
"It's all that Cross's fault! If it wasn't for him, then I wouldn't be working here!" Allen had whined like a child in pink maid dress, "He wanted me out of the house during a weekend so he could spend time alone being drunk and satisfied with his whores. I hate him!"
Lenalee finished washing her whole body, including her face, head and hair, when she finished her reverie. Grabbing a towel, she dried herself before putting on a bath robe and walked out of the bathroom towards her own room. As she arrived, immediately, she started preparing herself for school and her mind wondered, once again, to another trance and this time, it was about the-scariest-man-on-Earth-with-a-long-hair-tied-in -pink-ribbons aka Kanda. It really wasn't much of a discovery though, just a few… 'Accidents' actually...
They decided to spend quality time together a few days ago, Saturday, as an effort of making Allen talk to his friends without stuttering and cursing Cross all over and over again. They decided to ride on Lenalee's car, due to Komui's insistence that there must be butlers to watch over his beloved sister because he wouldn't forgive the 'octopus' that would taint his precious Lenalee, and spent time together. Somewhere on the ride, Allen and Kanda fell asleep together. Allen's head was leaning on Kanda's left shoulder while the latter rested half of his face above the moyashi's silky hair.
Lenalee took a picture of it while Lavi decided to mess with them while they were still vulnerable. And Kanda woke up in the middle of Lavi's make-up process.
"Oh, Good Morning Yuu!" Lavi cheerfully said holding a lipstick in hand, "Had a nice dream?"
It did not take long for Kanda to realize that he's face was covered with make-up and his hair tie was substituted by a pink ribbon. As for the moyashi… thank goodness Kanda woke up before Lavi had even started to mess up with the poor boy. However, it didn't mean that Lavi did not end up with a few bruises, bleeding gums and broken nose. Lenalee finished everything and ate her breakfast like lightning before she sped to school as if she was about to be late yet in truth she was one hour and 30 minutes away from the class time.
"Lavi?"
"Yes, Leanlee?"
"Why is everyone so busy?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot that you're still new here so you don't know. Sorry I forgot to tell you!"
"Tell me what?"
"Within the coming two weeks, the school is going to have its school fair. Each homeroom will be assigned to participate in having its own event."
"So what is our event?"
"We still don't know but it will be announced later at the class."
"Well, what event do you want?"
"Me? I'd like our class to be the ones assigned for the Maid Cafe! We have plenty of gorgeous girls in the class after all."
"Truthfully, you just want to see girls wearing short skirts, don't you, Lavi?"
"Ouch! That stings Moyashi-chan!"
"It's Allen!"
"Yes, but Moyashi suits you."
"Shut up, Bakanda!"
"Here we go again, Lenalee, should we head to class first?"
"O...Kay"
"Everyone, I have an announcement to all of you!" The class mayor Lou Fa, a girl in round eye glasses and braided hair, announced, "It seems that the event we'll be participating in is the drama."
She received collective complains and groans as a reply.
"We can't do anything about it because Miss Lulubell personally assigned us so we can't complain." She sighed, "The genre we'll be role playing is romance, we already have the story and it's Snow White. But of course the faculty allowed us to change the story a little to make it more entertaining!"
"I wonder what kind of change it is." Allen whispered.
"Probably something sappy." Lavi snickered.
"That's rude, Lavi!" Lenalee hissed, "How about you Kanda?"
"Che"
"….."
"The story goes like this." Lou Fa breathed, "Once upon a time, there in a kingdom was rumored to be the most beautiful princess of them all. Her name is Snow white. She was more beautiful than anything in the world, but the queen who was once the most beautiful maiden of the country envied Snow White. With the help of an evil magic mirror, she created a curse for Snow White; every boy who courts the princess shall suffer pain. Days later, all of Snow White's suitors met an accident, and it spread throughout the world that the most beautiful rose had the sharpest thorns and no one dared to court the princess for fear of being hurt. "
"This is boring" Lavi whispered
Allen sighed, "But once Lou Fa makes a decision then you can't argue back."
"So I guess in the end, we'll have to role-play this, right?" Lavi sighed.
"The queen, still envious of Snow White, wanted her to be killed. She sent two of her most loyal servant to kill Snow White. In the end, Snow white was shunned out of the castle and into the forbidden woods. There she met seven dwarves who helped her and a prince who caught her heart. The prince, too, was captivated by Snow White. However, she feared that the prince would get hurt because of her so she rejected the prince's advances." Lou Fa paused before continuing, "On the other hand, the horrible queen discovered through her mirror that Snow White was still alive. Angry, she decided to kill snow white herself and she succeeded. The prince saw his princess, already dead, and he was heartbroken. The mirror pitied the two lovers so, through magic, he told the prince that Snow White would wake up through true love's kiss. The prince kissed Snow White and she woke up! Then they lived happily ever after."
"Yay." The class said unenthusiastically.
"Okay, so now! Let's go on with the cast!" Lou Fa said, "And I'll be the narrator."
"But Lou Fa-san!" A blonde haired girl raised her hand, "There are too many of us in class and only few characters."
"The extras shall be assigned in the back stage for props and all, Lala-san." Lou Fa said, "Now Let's start with the queen! She should be very beautiful!"
"I suggest Lenalee-sama!" once of the students said and everyone agreed.
"But shouldn't Lenalee-sama be the princess?" another one of the said and a few arguments were heard.
"Maybe we should ask Lenalee-sama." One of them said, "Lenalee-sama, what role do you want?"
Lenalee wondered for a bit, she was always the main character during her dramas so why not try to be villain for a change? "I'd like to become the evil queen."
"So, are there any complaints about Miss Lee being the queen?" Lou Fa paused asshe waited for an answer and there come none, "None? Then Miss Lee shall be the queen." Lou Fa listed the role on the board.
"And now for the mirror!" Lou Fa said, "Who would like to volunteer themselves or would you like to volunteer someone else?"
"How about Lavi Bookman?"
"Yeah! He'd probably do well at that!"
"Okay! So are there no complains?" Lou Fa asked, "None? Okay so Mr. Lavi is our Mirror and take note that it will no longer be changed once the role is written on the board."
Lavi just grinned, "Well, it seems that I'll be your reflection, ojou-sama."
Lenalee giggled,"Let's try this." Lenalee breathed, "Mirror! Mirror, on the wall! Who's the fairest of them all?"
"You, my queen, is the fairest among them all." Lavi laughed and then Lenalee followed.
"Next! The role of the seven dwarves.."
After 15 minutes…
"Okay, so our results so far is on the board" Lou Fa said, "Let's see…"
Seven Dwarves
Bashful- Howard Link
Doc- Chomesuke
Grumpy- Lala
Happy- Road
Sleazy- Daisiya Barry
Sneezy- Timcamnpy
Stealthy- Lero
Evil Queen- Lenalee Lee
'Seriously, I think they're not that serious with the casting. Howard Link as Bashful? Seriously?' Lou Fa sighed.
"Um Lou Fa-san," Moore said, "Aren't you missing two important roles?"
"Huh?" the class mayor glanced at the board and asked, "What's missing?"
"The prince and princess."
'Oh great, the main characters. How could I forget!? 'Lou Fa mentally screamed, 'this time they better be serious in the actors'
"Okay guys, any ideas for the main characters?" Lou Fa asked.
The classroom started getting noisy and random pairings were heard.
"Mei-Ling and Archie!"
"Eeze and Elda!"
"Kawamura and Leo!"
"Mimi and Michael!"
"Leo and Jan!"
"Allen and me!"
"Elda and Kanda!"
"No! Kanda and Me!"
'I feel a headache coming.. Seriously? Jan and Leo? I do have to admit I'm a yaoi fangirl but none of them two would fit the image of Snow White and the prince.' Lou Fa pinched the bridge of her nose as if it'll help her.
Lavi and Lenalee watched as the class has gone wild. If random pairings were being thrown and went unnoticed afterwards then why don't they join the fun?
Lavi screamed, "Banana and Ketchup!"
And he went on...
"Sausage and spaghetti!"
"Panda and Elf!"
"Lenalee and Lee!"
"Yuu and Kanda!"
"Walker and Allen!"
Lenalee chuckled as she heard Lavi. She looked at the class that was now a mess and decided that maybe joining Lavi in this won't be that bad, right?
'Now, let's see, who should she pair up… oh silly of me, I forgot about them.'
"I want to suggest some people!" Lenalee clapped her hands twice together and stood up, effectively got everyone's attention. Lenalee felt a little nervous at her so-called joke because this is a first, after all. She cleared up her throat before saying..
"I suggest Kanda and Allen."
I am very very very very very sorry for giving you guys such an upsetting chapter.. please be patient with me..I'm still learning...
