Hey! I'm writing this in the car. We're almost to the beach now, but we still have a little while to go. I'm so tired. Woke up at four. Been on the road for hours. We stopped to get lunch a few minutes ago, and I never knew how good shrimp was with pizza. O_O Well, let's get started!
Disclaimers: I do not own DGM, and never will.
The next day, the sun was shining and it had stopped pouring. The four of them had fallen asleep on the floor, sprawled out on the floor.
"Nng." Allen flinched as the light hit his face. He got up groggily and looked out the window. His face suddenly flooded of excitement.
"Guys, guys!" He called out shaking them. "Come on, wake up!" The three of them sat up lazily.
"Moyashi, what could you possibly want?" Kanda asked irritated.
"We fell asleep on the floor?" Of course, Lavi was the one that got distracted. Allen pointed out the window.
"Look outside!" He yelled. He grabbed a pair of shoes and flung them on. He then ran out the door leaving them behind.
"Hey, Allen, wait up!" Lenalee shouted as she put on her shoes. They followed Allen outside to see what he was blabbering about. They stared amazed at what they saw.
"It's a rainbow! I've never seen one so big, or clear!" Allen shouted as he ran through the grass. They couldn't help but laugh at their friend's enthusiasm. He looked like he was doing a dance under the lingering raindrops.
"Hey, wait for me, 'lil buddy!" Lavi yelled as he ran towards Allen to start dancing with him. Sooner than later, they all joined Allen under the rain. They slipped a couple of times, and they usually ran into each other, but it was a moment they'd remember. Unfortunately, the fun had to stop at one point. They went back inside the cabin to rest.
"That was….interesting." Lenalee said between breathes.
"Yeah." Kanda agreed.
"Well, what do we do now?" Allen wondered looking at his friends.
"Well, neither of us have taken a shower in a while." Lavi chuckled. "So, I'd say we go to the bathhouses." They all thought that was a good idea. As they got materials to wash, they went outside heading to the washrooms.
"I don't have any soap." Allen said. "I didn't think I needed it."
"Don't worry about it, beansprout." Lavi teased. "You can use mine." Allen shook his head vigorously.
"Oh no, you don't have to."
"Really, it's no big deal."
"If I'm using it, what would you use?"
"Ok, Camp Lesson #8, you never get any privacy." Lavi commented.
"Huh?"
"The showers in the shower room are open, you can see the person next to you." He said. "They do block off some areas, but what I'm saying is that the other person is in easy reach." Allen started to reconsider his decision. Lavi was smacked across the face.
"Stop freaking the kid out." Kanda demanded. Lavi glared at him.
"I'm giving him a lesson!" Lavi yelled. "It took you and me awhile before we knew anything. I'm just giving him a heads up!" As Lavi continued picking a fight, Lenalee separated to head to the girls section of the washhouse.
"See you guys later." She said passing them. At least they separated the girls from the guys. That was a plus. The three remaining headed to the guys section.
"Ok, so whatever you do, pick a shower at or near a corner." Lavi said specifically towards the youngest one in the group.
"Why?"
"Those are the spots that aren't near a lot of people." Kanda answered. "It gives you a bit more privacy." Ok, that made sense. The first thing they did before anything else, was getting undressed. As Allen was getting undressed, he heard a knock at the door. Maybe someone got locked out. He walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hello?" He asked. No one was there. He leaned out a bit further. "Hello?" He said a bit louder. Something probably hit the door, and he misheard it. Then, someone pushed him out the door.
"Huh?" He turned around to see Isaac shutting the door. "Isaac, no!" He yelled as he ran into the door. No, no, no, no, no, this wasn't good. He turned around seeing that he was outside…in his boxers. Ok, no big deal. He just needed to get back inside. He went to open the door. Clank. His face paled. He shook the door. Locked. Crap, crap, crap, crap. Ok, next plan, get back to the cabin without being seen. He looked around, and started hiding behind anything he could find. To his horror, he began to hear talking coming his way. He shifted his head to the direction of the talking.
"Not more people." He had to hide, quickly. A door, no, a room! Perfect! He opened the door and slid into the room. He put his ear against the door to listen to see when the people left. Phew. Now, he just needed to figure out where he was. He heard the sounds of girls giggling. His face either turned completely white, or completely red. He was in the girl's washroom.
"You have to be kidding me." Allen thought. He tried to open the door. Clank. Locked. "Damn it!" It's a fact now, Allen had the worst of luck. He had to find a hiding spot, which was his only option. Unless he wanted to be caught and blamed for something that wasn't his fault. He scanned the area for a place where he could hide. While he was searching, he found something in particular.
"A closet!" He cheered. "That's good enough." He carefully snuck over to the closet and got in. It felt like those scenes in a horror movie; where you had to hide from the killer and wait to see what happened. It was one of those moments. He heard girls giggling and gossiping.
"Hey, did you hear what happened the other day?" He heard a girl ask.
"No, what happened?" Another asked. She started snickering.
"Some kid lost his shorts in the water." Allen's face became tinted.
"Are you serious?" The girl asked.
"Yeah, I heard he deserved it though." He deserved it? Who told them that? He was humiliated because of that. Why would he deserve it?
"Well, do you know who the kid was?"
"No, I don't."
"Wasn't it the kid with the white hair?" She asked. "He's hard to miss."
"White hair?"
"Yeah, his arm's red to."
"Red?!" The way they reacted towards his description made him sick. They were making fun of him. It wasn't his fault he had a deformity. It wasn't his fault that he was different. But, they were acting as if he was disgusting. As the girls walked away, Allen felt like he'd been punched in the stomach. What an awful feeling. Then, he began to smell something. It wasn't a bad smell, it was actually quite nice.
"Wait, I know this smell." Allen thought to himself. Then, it struck him. He knew what the smell was. "Oh no, this is-"He was interrupted by someone opening the closet door. "Gaaah!" He yelled covering himself.
"A-Allen?!" Why? Out of all the people, why did it have to be her? He looked up at her, face as red as a tomato.
"Le-Lenalee."
"What are you doing here?" She whispered. Well, good news was she wasn't naked, in fact she was fully covered. Bad news was she saw him in his underwear.
"Don't hate me, it's not my fault!" He whispered back. "I was locked out of the boy's washroom and got locked in here!" She shook her head.
"Was it Isaac again?" He gulped, but nodded. She looked around. What was she looking for?
"Come with me." She insisted. Allen blinked.
"W-what?" She grabbed his hands. "Whoa, whoa, Lenalee! Are you nuts?!" She turned towards him.
"I'm helping you."
"You're trying to get me killed!" She gave him the, "Really?" look.
"Allen, I have a plan. You just need to trust me." Allen wasn't sure if this was going to end up bad or good. It could go either way, but he couldn't resist the face she was giving him.
"Fine." He said with his head down. "Just, please don't get me caught." She gave him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry!" He was getting worried already. It's not that he didn't trust her, he just didn't know what she was thinking. She guided him in a direction he didn't know. She opened a door and pulled out something.
"Here, put this on." He looked at it awkwardly.
"Isn't that a…..dress?" She pressured him to put it on.
"It's better than being half-naked!" He did agree with her. Well, he was going to lose all of his dignity by doing this. He took the dress and put it on, and just to humiliate him even more, the dress fit. Lenalee smiled.
"Ok, let's go." She grabbed his hand again and led him outside. "We just need to get to the cabin."
"Lenalee, I feel ridiculous."
"You're not wearing it the whole time!" She told him. "Once we get to the cabin you can take it off." Ok, he understood that, but how were they going to get there without someone spotting them?!
"This way." She led him through a patch of trees. "The trees will hide us for a while." As they made their way to cabin, Allen's respect for Lenalee grew. Most girls would consider him a pervert or a stalker if they caught him in the girl's washroom, but Lenalee had actually listened to him and didn't jump to conclusions. Not to mention she was helping him get back.
"There's the cabin, think you can get there without getting caught?" She let go of his hand and he nodded. "Good. I need to get back to the washrooms, good luck!" She ran off.
"Wait!" He called out. She turned around. "Th-thank you!" She smiled at him and went off. As he ran to the front door of the cabin he went to open it. Clank. Locked.
"Why are all the doors locked?!" He screamed in his head. You know what? Screw it. He went to the back and climbed through the window. "Ouch." He grunted as he landed on his face. He took off the dress and got in to more comfortable clothing. After a few minutes passed, he heard the door slam open.
"Allen!" He looked up to see Lavi and Kanda coming towards him.
"Allen, you were here?" Lavi questioned. "What happened?" Allen sweat dropped.
"I…..don't really want to talk about it." They already knew what that meant. Isaac did something again.
"Well, you need to go back." Kanda said.
"Why?"
"You stink." Allen frowned. He had to admit to that.
"Don't worry, we'll shield ya." Lavi said. "Besides, no one's going to be there anyway." Allen nodded and went with them to the washrooms. He needed to get his clothes back anyway. Once they got there, Allen got in one of the showers. They stayed there for a while before deciding to head back. On the way, he told them about what happened.
"So, you got locked out?" Lavi asked. He nodded. "Man that must've sucked."
"It did."
"And Lenalee helped you get back?" Kanda asked. Allen blushed.
"Y-yeah. She did." Lavi and Kanda looked at each other than smirked.
"Looks like someone wants to get with Lenalee." Lavi said. Allen's face flushed.
"Tha-that's not it!" He protested.
"Sure it's not." He teased. "I mean, it's not like you blush every time we mention her." Allen smacked him.
"Stop it!" Both of them laughed and Allen pouted.
"We're just messing with you, Moyashi."
"It's Allen, BaKanda." As they stepped in to the cabin, Allen noticed one thing missing.
"Oh no, where is it?!" Lavi and Kanda saw Allen start to search under pillows, blankets, even the beds.
"What'cha looking for?" Lavi wondered. Allen looked up at him with fear in his eyes.
"My journal, it's gone!"
That took me two days. I arrived at Hatteras yesterday, but I can only be on the computer for a short period of time. I'm not feeling well, so that's why I'm on the computer now. For everyone that's supporting this story, thank you. I didn't think this type of story would be this popular. It makes me happy knowing people like it. Well, see ya next time! :3
