"Road owes me alot of candy." Allen said with a small, smug smile.
Tyki stared at the small girl.
"How did that happen, Shoujo?" Tyki asked
"A jynx." Allen stated.
"Never thought I'd see the day." Tyki mused.
Allen laughed.
"Now you have." Allen pointed out.
"You're lucky no one can hate that face of your's Shoujo. Otherwise you'd have alot of enemies." Tyki told the younger.
"Even you, Tyki?"
Tyki looked at Allen with a ghost of a blush on his cheeks.
"Even me, Shoujo." Tyki said.
Allen hugged Tyki.
"Thanks."
Tyki just patted her back and Allen moved away from the older man. Allen stood up. The Portuguese looked over curiously.
"Help me with my Noah powers, Tyki!" Allen said eagerly.
Tyki dropped his cigarette.
"Y-you sure, Shoujo? You could always train with that innocence of yours."
"I know but I don't want to over use Crown Clown. Please, Tyki?" Allen pleaded, giving Tyki the puppy eyes.
Tyki sighed and agreed.
"Dang the Shoujo and her cuteness..." Tyki thought.
"Thank you Tyki! You're the best!" Allen cheered.
"You just keep surprising everyone, Dear Niece."
"It's good to see you happy Allen."
"So you really want to learn your powers as a Noah, Dear Niece?"
"I do, Uncle Neah! I really do!"
"And later you may be able to use me."
"Yeah!"
"To think, the first time we talked, you thought you had gone crazy, Dear Niece."
Allen felt a hand on her back.
"Let's go, Shoujo. Before you start talking to yourself." Tyki joked.
"That's so mean Tyki!" Allen complained.

"Little Allen-pon is growing up and wont need me soon." The Earl mused and wiped away his tears.
Road, who had her arms around the Earl's neck, sighed.
"Allen'll always need you, Melliniee~. You are a father to her~."
The Earl's tears refused to stop pouring down his face.
"I hope you are right, Road." The Earl said.
"You've really gotten attached to her."
{{{{{{{}}}}}}}
"Achoo!" Allen sneezed.
"Some one's talking about you, Shoujo." Tyki said, grinning.
Allen looked at Tyki skeptically. The older man laughed. Allen stared wide eyed at Tyki. The white-haired girl never really heard Tyki laugh. She was used to the poker player side that he always was around her. Allen shook her head.
"You're odd, Tyki." Allen stated.
"Only to you, Shoujo." Tyki said.
Tyki led Allen to the biggest room Allen had ever seen. Well, besides the dining room. The Portuguese walked into the room. Allen quickly followed Tyki.
"You should change into something more comfortable, Shoujo."
Allen shook her head. "I'm fine for today."
"Whatever you say Shoujo." Tyki said. "First off, Your 'black' side."
"Is it anything like when Road wants to play?"
"Sort of. Your's will most likely be different, Shoujo. Not as dark as mine or Road's."
Allen nodded and payed close attention.
"The more practice you have switching between your 'white' and 'black' sides, the easier it'll get to switch between." Tyki explained.
"Got it!" Allen was determined to succeed.
"Alright, Shoujo. Picture yourself with gray skin, gold eyes and seven Stigmata." Tyki instructed.
"Okay." Allen closed her eyes.
Allen tried to think of herself with the said traits.
"White hair bright against ashen gray skin... piercing gold eyes... exactly seven stigmata on my forehead..." Allen thought, picturing them one at a time.
Tyki watched in silence as Allen's skin slowly changed from the creme white to ashen grey and the stigmata appeared. The portuguese let out a low whistle. Allen's hair was blindingly bright against her now dark skin. The white-haired girl opened her eyes, which were gold instead of the usual silver. Tyki clapped.
"Good job, Shoujo." Tyki praised.
That earned a rather cheerful smile from Allen. Allen's stomach chose that moment to growl loudly. Tyki laughed for the second time that day.
"It's about time to get ready for dinner, Shoujo. The Earl won't be happy if we're late." Tyki said, lighting a cigarette.
"I know."
"I really don't want to end up lost here..."
"You won't get lost, Dear Niece."
"I'm doubting that right now. The Ark is huge! And let's face it, I get lost too easily."
"Trust Neah, Allen. He would never let you get lost or hurt."
Allen sighed and silently agreed. She walked out of the room and started walking in a random direction.
"Take a left up here." Neah told her.
Allen took the turn and kept walking. She followed Neah's directions and found herself at the familiar door to the dining room.
"Thanks Uncle Neah."
"You're welcome, Dear Niece."
Allen opened the door and quickly took her seat. She looked around for Tyki but didn't see him. Allen internally cheered.
"I'm not the last one in for once!" Allen thought.
"Hello Little Allen-pon~!"
"Daddy, i'm not so Little anymore." Allen pointed out.
"That's right, our little Allen is a beautiful young lady now." Sheril said.
"Melliniee was crying about how Allen wouldn't need him any more." Road said with a smile.
Allen got out of her seat and walked to the Earl.
"I'll always need you daddy." Allen said, hugging the Earl.
The Earl hugged the small girl.
"Better, daddy?" Allen asked.
The Earl nodded and shooed the Allen away. The white-haired girl walked back to her seat and sat down. Tyki walked into the room and shot a semi-glare at Allen that said, 'You did that on purpose'. Allen just gave him an innocent smile.
"You're late, Tyki-pon~."
"My apologize. I was helping Allen." Tyki explained.
Tyki lifted his cup to take a drink. Road caught Tyki's use of 'Allen' and not 'Shoujo'. Road grinned.
"Tyki has a crush on Allen~!" Road said.
Tyki almost choked on the drink and Allen stared at road. Jasdevi laughed and Allen threw something at the twins.
"So not funny Jasdevi!" Allen snapped, Blushing furiously.
All eyes were on Allen. The white-haired girl noticed.
"Stop staring at me!" Allen snapped before covering her mouth.
"I just snapped at my family! Oh man..." Allen thought.
Allen quickly got out of her seat and left the room. when she was sure the doors were closed, she sunk to the floor and covered her face in shame.
"It's alright, Dear Niece."
"That was so embarrassing."
"It being pointed out that Tyki might have a crush on you?"
"Yes! Not only that but... Ugh... I can't even say it."
"Do you have a crush, Allen?"
"Uncle Neah! Don't ask that kind of thing!"
"You do have a crush."
"N-no I don't!"
"Then why are you so flustered?"
"You can tell us, Dear Niece."
The door opened and Tyki stood in front of Allen.
"Shoujo?" Tyki asked softly.
Allen groaned. She really didn't want to face anyone after that little display.
"Shoujo, where'd all that anger come from?" Tyki asked, sitting down next to her.
"When I was little, I wasn't the nicest or mannered as I am now."
"I see. It was your old self coming out."
Allen just nodded. Tyki stood up.
"You've been slacking on your Poker face, Allen. Practice as much as you can."
"I will." Allen said.
"You definitely have a crush." Neah laughed.
"Shut up, Neah."
Allen sighed, stood up and put on her best Poker face before going back into the dining room and taking her seat again. Allen looked to Lulu Bell.
"Is Mimi around? I want to see if she'd do something with my hair later."
"I'll tell her you asked for her when I see her." Lulu Bell told the younger.
"Thank you." Allen said.
The Earl cleared his throat.
"Now that everyone is here and no longer having... emotional troubles, let's get strait to business~." The Earl said, clapping his hand
