"So..." Komui started. "What do you remember before waking up here last night?"

The room was silent. Allen looked at his hands, glanced up at Komui for a second, then stared at his hands again, Lavi looked anywhere but Komui, as if trying to identify the familiar place. Kanda just crossed his arms and snorted, and Lenalee had a concentrated expression on her face while she stared a hole in a stack of paperwork.

All four had noticed the weird looks they had gained in the dining hall, but hadn't thought of it much. But now that Komui was questioning them, they started to take the looks into consideration.

Komui sighed. "Is there anything you noticed this morning?"

"W-well..." It was Allen who spoke. "I noticed the room I woke up in was a little familiar... And that Master wasn't there..." His voice was quiet, but everyone could hear just fine.

"Hmm..." Komui now had a calculating expression on his face. "Thank you, Allen."

Said boy only nodded, then went back into silence. Komui asked if any of the others had noticed anything. Lenalee mentioned the looks they got, Kanda didn't say anything, and Lavi said how the building was really familiar to him even though he had never been there before.

"Thank you for telling me." Komui said. "If you remember anything from yesterday, tell me."

Silence again. Then Allen spoke up. Again. "The last thing I remember is Master throwing me into a fight with Akuma. I defeated them and then we went to the inn we were staying at. When I woke up, I was here."

'Cross must've been rough on him...' Komui sweatdropped, then aloud said, "Alright. If that's all, you may go. Stay out of trouble. Allen, Lavi, I'll have Lenalee or Kanda show you around later. If anything comes up, head straight to me."

The four nodded before getting off of the couch and leaving the office. Lenalee led Lavi and Allen back to the dining area, Kanda going only because he needed to finish his soba.

When they got there, they noticed the looks had intensified. Lavi and Allen went back to where they were sitting prior to Komui taking them to his office, while Lenalee and Kanda did the same.

A silence dragged out in the dining hall. It was very awkward. Allen, not being one for awkward silences or stares, - it reminded him too much of his past - cleared his throat before standing and turning to face everyone in the cafeteria.

"Um... Hello, I'm Allen Walker. Nice to meet you all." he said, bowing in greeting. Lavi, quickly catching on, stood as well and gave his signature grin.

"Lavi. Lavi Bookman Junior." he said cheerfully, crossing his arms behind his head. "And as much as the four of us kids enjoy the attention, it's a little awkward being stared at. Alright?"

And half of the people in there half-died from what Author-Chan has dubbed as a 'cute-overload'. (Overload, overload, it's a cute-overload.) She couldn't blame them either. You try to resist an eleven year old Allen Walker doing that greeting, quickly being followed by a fourteen year old Lavi Bookman giving his signature grin and pose. Just. Try.

Despite that, half the people in the dining hall almost died from the amount of adorableness. A few of those people? General Teidoll, Miranda Lotto, and Arystar Krory.

Lenalee looked at the two, smiled, then turned to Kanda and whispered something in his ear. He just let out a 'che' and rotated his head the other way.

A second later, the red-head and whitette sat back down at the table. A few minutes later, you can only guess what happened. The door slammed open (let's just say the dining hall has a door, for the sake of the plot) and in the doorway stood a certain redheaded devil that Allen wouldn't mind not seeing ever again.

"Where's that idiot apprentice of mine, and what has he gotten himself into this time?" a voice, that sounded vaguely like Major Alex Louis Armstrong's, not that anyone in this universe would know that, grumbled. (REFERENCE! Oh, and unintentional rhyme.)

"Oh no..." Allen let out, sweating like he was in a furnace. Slowly, he stood and turned, a nervous smile on his face. "Hello... Master..."

There stood General Marian Cross in all his of his glory. Whether that glory was good or bad was beside the point. All Allen knew, was that was in some deep trouble.


End Chapter.
Oh, and so you guys know... This takes place during DGM Hallow, in a way, so expect to see some Link and Leverrier. Don't worry! Nothing bad will happen. I hope. Anyway, Ja-ne~!
