A/N: Well, it's be a good while before I actually left a little author's note but I am going to now. (Not that you guys probably want to read them though, lol) But here is the next chapter, inspired by a request from SuperMangas92. Hope you enjoy!
P.S: Replies to reviews at the end of the chapter. I like responding to people, but I think it would be easier for me to just do it this way, so if you left a review for chapter six, there will be a reply for you!
"Him, well I guess your first time seeing a demon was pretty rough, neh?" Lavi said, as yet another memory of their snowy haired comrade faded, and his golden golem drifted over to the young boy's shoulder.
Allen sighed, patting Tim on the head as the golem nuzzled his cheek. "Yeah, it was pretty rough. But I guess it was expected either way." He said as he looked at his red headed friend.
"Yeah, I guess so." Lavi said, going silent after for only a moment before he busted with excitement and enthusiasm. "Alright, so what should we see next?" He asked, once again looking all around the cafeteria whilst listening to the suggestions. Once again, it ranged from times with Cross to some of Allen's past that didn't hold quite a humorous quality. The red head liked getting to know his comrade more by his past, but he needed something he could laugh at again, and none of the suggestions were doing it for him.
"Hmm, what about you?" He asked, gesturing to a female exorcist who dared to even sit next to Kanda. He had never seen her before, and so when the young girl looked up his eyes grew wide and he exclaimed his signature, "Strike!"
Several people in the cafeteria rolled their eyes, including the young girl. She seemed annoyed by Lavi's sudden exclamation, as did many others within the room. Possibly because not only did his high pitched voice irk some of the others, or disturb those who were trying to enjoy their breakfast meal, but because some were tired or just simply annoyed by the excited fit he always had whenever he saw a pretty woman.
"She's totally my type!" Lavi mumbled excitedly to Allen as he grabbed the young boy's arm and shook it slightly with excitement.
"Well too bad, you aren't my type Lavi." The girl said, looking away from Lavi to glance down at her food, which she poked at with her silverware. She was as uninterested in Lavi as Kanda was in the safety of the finders, Allen thought.
Lavi's face instintely fell, and Lenalee giggled at the look that twisted his features at what the girl had said.
"Baka usagi," Kanda muttered, shaking his head with a look of annoyance on his face, obviously irritated by his red haired comrade.
"So," The young girl began, looking up from her food to glance at Lavi. "Lavi, You wanted me to pick something that Timcanpy could show us, eh?" Her face twisted into a mischievous smirk. "Alright, like Kanda, I would like to see something embarrassing." She said and chuckled.
"No," Allen said, causing everyone to look at him as he shook his head. "No, no, no, no, no."
"No more embarrassing memories." He said, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Lavi, who still held onto his arm.
"Aw, Allen, come on." Lavi whined, pushing out his lower lip as he pouted and slowly he let go of Allen's arm.
"No, no more embarrassing memories. It's horrible." Allen said, his voice holding a tone of both annoyance and a whining quality.
"Horrible for you only though." The young girl commented, and snickered. "For the rest of us it's amusing, and great." She said.
Allen sighed and shook his head, not noticing that Tim was beginning to lift himself off of his shoulder. The golem flew to his spot above the table and opened his mouth, letting a memory begin to form above him in the little bubble it always did, and it was sure to be one that would surely be embarrassing for Allen.
When the sound of a younger version of Allen interrupted the silence of the room, Allen looked up to Timcanpy with his eyes going wide. He recognized what Tim was showing them almost immediately, and he wasted no time in standing up and snatching his companion from the air.
"I said no!" He said with his voice raised by the irritation he felt.
"Well Tim obviously doesn't mind showing us." Lavi said as he watched his comrade, hoping the boy would let the golem go eventually so they could enjoy the show Tim had tried to provide.
"Well I'm not going to let him show you, not until at least one of you share an embarrassing incident." Allen said, but then, before anyone could even try to share an experience, he grabbed a bit of his breakfast and gave it to Tim.
He whispered to his companion as the golem consumed what he gave him quickly, and Allen smirked as he sat back. Tim would always give into him if he gave him some of Jerry's delicious food and sweets, and he knew it, as did some of his friends. So, when they saw what he was doing they knew Lavi wasn't going to get what he wanted.
"There, he'll show you something but it won't be embarrassing." Allen said and smiled smugly.
Lavi, along with the girl who had requested an embarrassing incident, huffed. Obviously they were looking forward to seeing something that would make their comrade squirm with discomfort, and turn a deep red from embarrassment. But it seemed that now, it wasn't going to happen.
As soon as Timcanpy was finished eating what Allen had given him, he drifted back to his usual spot and opened his mouth, once again starting the show of memories for those around him.
The first thing they all saw was Cross, who sat against the headboard of a bed that was in his and Allen's hotel room. He had a glass filled with wine in his hand, sipping idly from it as he and Tim heard Allen complaining from within the little kitchenette across from the room.
A small smirk was on the man's face, half covered by the long locks of red hair that hung in front of his face. He seemed amused, for whatever reason, but everyone was sure they would know eventually. They were right, and soon discovered that his amusement came from something Allen was doing, when he chuckled as Allen released a squeal from the other room.
"Seems Roseanne does not like Allen very much." Cross said as he glanced over at Tim. His golem revealed his jagged teeth as he smiled, and he flew over to his master and perched himself on the top of his lopsided hat. Krory, who had just come into the room, seemed to be surprise to hear the name of the flower that Cross had given him, and that had led him to the life he lived now. He sat down beside Lavi, and he began to watch with them, becoming curious about how Allen acted with the carnivorous flower.
"Allen! " Cross suddenly shouted, startling a few people. "Make sure you give Roseanne enough food, or she will be having your fingers later for dinner." He yelled, making sure his apprentice could hear him over the sounds the plant made in the other room.
"Humph.. It's not like she's not going to bite my fingers off anyways." Allen called by, sounding exasperated as he tried to water the plant and feed it, but the damned thing kept trying to bite him.
Timcanpy looked to his master before he flew away from him and went into the kitchenette, revealing Allen as he cried out. He sat on the floor, tears in his eyes as he grimaced at the pain the flower caused when it bit him.
"Oww, that hurt.. Dammit, stupid flower." Allen muttered, feeling irritated. It was Cross's flower, why should he have to take care of the stupid thing while his master relaxed in the other room? The answer? Because Cross was a lazy, drunk bastard, and since Allen was his apprentice he had to listen to him. That was it, sadly.
Allen sighed and slowly stood up, looking over at Timcanpy as the customized, mechanical creature flew over to him and nuzzled his cheek. He sighed and raised his hand to pat the golden orb with wings, smiling slightly as he turned to look at him.
"You're always cheering me up Tim." He mumbled in a soft, gentle tone.
He sighed once again and stood up, making sure the fingers he latched onto the edge of one of the counters were not close enough to the flower for it to bite him once again.
Once he was on his feet again he glanced over to the flower that still sat on the counter, making odd growling sounds as it twisted and unfurled it's beautifully decorated petals.
"Well, let's get this over with." Allen said before he began to try and feed the plant again.
For a while it went well, but soon the plant was starting to nip at him again. And the more it nipped at him, the more annoyed Allen came. And the more annoyed Allen became the more it tried to bite him.
Eventually the flower managed to latch it's teeth onto Allen's finger, and the young boy yelled at the flower to let his finger go as he pushed on the vase the plant reside in, and tried to pull his finger from the creature's mouth.
Tim even tried to help Allen, and began to hit the plant with his tail and wings, and nip at the stem of it. Roseanne certainly did not like that, and she released her hold on Allen's finger so she could turn and bite Timcanpy.
She managed to grab the golem between her teeth, and in seconds she was trying to actually swallow Allen's companion!
Allen's eyes widened and he grabbed onto Tim's tail, which hung out of Roseanne's mouth.
"Dammit, let go you stupid plant." Allen shouted, pulled with all his might on the poor golem's tail.
Tim squirmed inside the plant's mouth, trying to free himself from her tightly closed mouth. But no matter how much Allen pulled or Tim struggled the little golem couldn't get away. Finally after some time Tim got the idea to just force her mouth to open and in seconds he was growing from the size of a baseball to the size of a watermelon.
Roseanne couldn't keep her mouth close as he continued to grow, and she reluctantly released the golden creature. Tim shot out of her mouth, and both him and Allen went flying into the opposite wall from the force of Tim's release.
"Ouch.." Allen muttered and touched the back of his head as he stood up, and he looked at Tim.
The golem seemed angry, with his teeth revealed and the tips of his mouth upturned. Before Allen could even assume what he might do, the golem shot forward and grabbed Roseanne by the stem, lifting the plant and flying away with her.
"E-ehh! Timcanpy! No!" Allen shouted as he ran after the golem and plant, but Tim made sure he couldn't reach him. Around the hotel room they ran, sending the whole dining hall into fits of laughter as they watched Allen shout at the devious golem, which carried a writhing carnivorous plant.
Eventually Tim flew to one of the windows, flying right outside with plant and out of sight. Allen turned to Cross with wide eyes. "What should we do?"
"We?" Cross laughed. "Don't you mean just you?"
"No!" Allen exclaimed, looking irritated. "You have to help me stop Tim!"
"I don't have to do anything." Cross said.
"But if you do not get Roseanne back then you can sleep out in the hallway." Cross added.
Allen just looked at him and blinked, staying silent for a long while before he groaned and ran out of the room. Cross laughed and shook his head as he glanced out the window, watching as his apprentice ran down the cobblestone road.
"Stupid boy." He said as he poured himself another glass of wine.
