Me: 'Here's the last chapter. You probably hadn't expected what Lavi and Allen are about to find out.'

Allen: 'What do you mean? It isn't anything bad, is it?' *shivers*

Lavi: 'Oh, come on, Allen. It probably isn't.'

Me: 'It'll be okay... You'll live.'

Allen: 'Somehow that doesn't sound really reassuring at all.'

Lavi: *nods* 'She picked her words far too carefully.'

Me: 'Readers, I hope you'll like the end, I always have trouble thinking of suitable endings.'

When the long, painful and exhausting day came to an end they stood before Lenalee's door with a basket of cookies, waiting for her reply after having knocked.

It didn't take long for her to open it. Her expression changed to a grumpy one when she saw who was standing there. "I thought I had told you to not show your faces again today."

Allen felt himself get even more upset now that they really faced her, but he didn't dare to mess up again. "We're here to apologize."

Lavi nodded. "Actually, we were here for that before too, but it just went a bit wrong, just like after that."

"A bit?" Allen asked sarcastically.

Lavi grinned as answer.

"If your were trying to apologize why did you let an akuma in my room?" The rage had vanished from her eyes and curiousity had taken place.

"Lavi thought a fight might cheer you up," Was Allen's dull respond.

Lavi grinned again. "I just thought it would show you that we're still friends before we talked about it."

Lenalee looked at their faces, her eyes stuck on that of Allen. "What did you do with your face! There are cuts all over it!"

"Tried to save Timcanpy," Lavi answered while it was Allen's turn to grin.

Lenalee chuckled when she imagined the scene of them wrestling with a cat. "You've got quite the day I hear. I already wondered why you started cooking. The whole order talked about it."

Allen felt himself turn red again and faced the ground. "That was my fault."

Lenalee laughed somewhat harder. "I already figured that. Come in."

They entered her room and sat down on her bed.

"Here," Lavi said while handing her the basket. "We hope you like them. Allen hasn't eaten any of them so we don't know if they'll taste good."

Lenalee wore the soft expression they knew again and took a bite of their creation. She must have been a good actor, because her face didn't give away any impression on how it tasted.

"Is it good?" Both the boys asked eagerly while Tim also came closer.

Lenalee burst out in laughter. "It's horrible," she laughed. "But I appreciate the thought. Even though you mistook the salt for sugar you probably put a lot of time and effort in it." She looked up and smiled warmly at them. "If you apologize now I'll forgive you."

"AAH!" Allen screamed. "We nearly forgot the most important thing!"

They jumped up and stood in front of her, then bowed down and finally handed over their well-meant apologies.

Lenalee put the basket away. "Fine then, I'll forgive you, now sit down again and show me the record," suddenly she turned all embarrassed again. "I want to know what exactly you saw."

Lavi scratched his head. "Well, actually, nearly nothing. We only saw feet."

"Tim, show her," Allen told his golem.

Timcanpy opened his mouth and showed them what he had recorded.

Suddenly Lenalee's look changed from embarrassed to confused. "But Allen, Lavi, Tim, those aren't my feet."

A short silence fell in between.

"HEEEHH!" Allen and Lavi screamed while a Tim showed an exclamation mark. "They aren't?"

"Now that you say so, they aren't indeed," Lavi said while deep in thoughts. "I should have known."

"Couldn't you have thought about that earlier!" Allen yelled at him. "We could have prevented all of this in advance!"

"It's still not good to even try to look at it," Lenalee responded, but they ignored her.

"Then whose are they?"

A frown appeared on Lavi's face as he dug in his memories again. Suddenly his face lighted up: "They are Yu's!" Then his expression changed to one of horror. "You don't think he noticed, do you?"

Allen turned pale and backed away at even the thought of it. He imagined Kanda finding out about it and slicing off their heads. "I don't think so, but let's keep it that way," he whined, suddenly being scared. "It would be a disaster if he found out."

Lavi looked at him and they could see they both thought about the same horrible scene. "Let's keep this a secret of our own. Tim, don't you ever dare to show that record again!" Lavi threatened. "I'll tell Allen you ate his food two days ago then after all." He jumped up in terror as his friend was suddenly burning, his eyes gleaming of madness.

"Tim did what two days ago? So that's the thief that took it that time!"

Timcanpy quickly hid behind Lenalee, but it wasn't needed. Allen was so exhausted that the flame extinguished again. He sighed. "Well, I could have known and I'm just too tired to be really angry right now. Let's go to bed."

"Yeah," Lavi muttered, sounding just as exhausted as Allen. "I could sleep for two days if I had the time to."

They stood up and turned around for a second to smile to Lenalee. "Glad that this is all over then. Good night Lenalee."

"Good night, Allen, Lavi, Timcanpy."

They left her room and walked through the corridors. But on the half of the way they encountered Kanda, just back from a mission, grumpy as always. They froze where they were, looking at him in horror. Hopefully, nobody else knew about the accident, it would be really bad.

"Get out of the way, moyashi, why are you both standing here?"

"Allen desu," Allen responded in a dull voice. "It's none of your business."

"Then get out of the way, or are you looking for a fight." Kanda snapped back.

Allen wanted to give an angry reply, but suddenly remembered what Tim had recorded that day and quickly took a step aside. "W... We're sorry, just go on, we won't bother you anymore."

"Tssk," Kanda answered. "I hope you two know nothing about the idiot that stalked me today in the shower, or I'll cut your heads off." Leaving that threat hanging in the air he disappeared out of their sight.

Both friends "eeeked" in horror, then sighed of relief and fell down on the spot. Just too exhausted to finish their way to their rooms. They grinned at eachother while lying their then fell asleep until Reever found them, woke them up again and sent them to bed after all.
