"I found a rea—No, no, no," Lavi said, furiously erasing a piece of sheet music.
"Working on a new song?" Poe asked, leaning over the isle of the plane to look at her friend's work.
"Yeah…" Lavi said absently as he worked on the chorus. "Hey, tell me what you think of this:
"I found a reason for me,
to change who I used to be,
a reason to start over new,
and the reason is you.
I found a reason to show,
A side of me you didn't know,
A reason for all that I do,
And the reason is you~."
"That's really good," Poe said, looking at the sheet music. "But I think that you should put the second part of the chorus at the end of the song, just to give it that added layer of emotion."
"And that, Poe, is why your nickname is Edgar Allen Poe," Lavi said, erasing and writing again.
"And just Poe for short," Poe said with a smile.
"Hey, what was your real name, anyway? I can't remember…"
"Aiya."
"That's really pretty."
"Thank you."
"Here, look at this," Lavi said, handing the music to Poe.
Poe took the sheet and looked it over for a few minutes. As she read, her eyes went wide. Lavi wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, though…
"Lavi," Poe said when she finished in such a serious voice it made Lavi cringe. "I have to say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, and with no hesitation, that this is the best song you've ever written."
"Really?!" Lavi asked, perking up exponentially. "What makes you say that?"
"Well…" Poe said, trying to find the right words. "…It's… real. I mean, all the other songs you've written are well… they sound very fake. Like they didn't come from your heart. With this song… you wrote it from your heart, based on something that really happened. I mean, I can feel the emotions you must have been feeling when you wrote it. the pain you felt and the pain this other person felt. You said in the song that you changed, and this song is the change incarnate."
"Wow…" Lavi said in astonishment as he took a minute to reflect over what Poe had said. "That was really deep…"
"Of course it is," Poe said with a chuckle and a smile. She handed the sheet music back and said, "I'm a girl."
"How did I know that that was coming?" Lavi asked sarcastically as he carefully too the sheets and folded them, carefully, and put them into this carry on, carefully.
"Cause you know me too well!" Poe said as they both started laughing.

As Poe had predicted, Kanda was bored to tears. With Allen in Puerto Rico or Portugal or where ever the hell he was going; with Poe out in Europe on the tour; with all of his other friend following the tour; and all the teachers in America for a conference, Kanda had no one but the dog to keep him company. And since Poe was on the plane and Allen was out of service range, he couldn't text anyone either.
Thus, Yu Kanda was reduced to renting a few movies and staying indoors all day with something deep fried and smothered in chocolate. After the third movie, he got even more bored (big shocker there). So, he grabbed his sword from the makeshift armory and went out to the training field. He killed over half the day meditating and training. And just as he was about to go down and start with his rockets… his phone went off.
"Hello?" Kanda asked, having jumped on the chance of human contact so quickly he forgot to check the caller i.d.
"Hey, Bro, you sound like you've been inside all day!" Poe said on the other line. He could hear her smirking.
"Well, there was not much else to do…" Kanda said, walking down to the basement where he kept his rocket gear.
"Don't tell me you've been watching movies all day!"
"NO! It was Twilight, Disturbia, and then in the middle of Scary Movie 6 I turned it off and went out to train…"
"Awe! Too scared?!"
"Too bored was more like it!…"
"Well, just called to say that we landed about an hour ago in Paris and we just got settled in."
"Where are you?"
"In Paris, baka!"
"No, I mean where in Paris?"
"Oh, in Lavi's summer home! You should see this place, Yu! It's huge! I feel like a princess in a castle! And you know, that invite is still open! You can join us any time!!"
"NO thank you."
"Aaaw, I though you always wanted to go to Paris!"
"Yeah, with Lenalee! Not anymore though…"
"What about Italy? Or Spain, or England, or Germany? You know we'd be more then welcome in Germany!"
"Again, no thank you. I don't want to be anywhere near that Baka Usagi!!"
"Fine, at least watch the concert on TV in a few days! He's going to make an announcement that he and I really wanted you to hear!"
"……………I'll think about it…"
"GREAT!" Poe screamed, forcing Kanda to pull the phone away from his ear. "I gotta go, I'll talk to you soon!!!"
"Kay, bye Poe!"
"Bye, Bro!"
And with that, Kanda hear the familiar click of the phone disconnecting. And once again, he was forced into the hands of utter bordom…
