After a few days, nothing has changed in the town, and none of the akuma has soon their faces. So for the time being, Allen was helping Miranda sustain a job, while Lenalee went out on the town. The two were advertising for a show, "The Pumpkin and the Witch." Miranda was dressed as the witch, passing out flyers, while Allen was dressed as the pumpkin, doing all kinds of things he learned by being a clown. "Good job boy. Why don't you take a break?" The boss came out and told Allen. The whitenette accepted his offer. During his break, Lenalee came over. "Hi." Allen took off the head of his costume, and smiled.
"Wow, you're really good. I've never seen anyone so acrobatic." Lenalee chuckled.
"Thanks. I used to be a clown, so this is all natural for me." The whitenette softly sighs.
"Neat, sounds like you had a fun childhood." Lenalee smiled.
"Kind of… There were complications and stuff. You know being broke and what not." Allen pouted, thinking back to when he was younger wasn't pleasant.
"Oh, ok. *sigh* for me I've been at the Order for as long as I can remember." Lenalee also pouted.
"No need to tell me. You know if it makes you uncomfortable." Allen patted the girl's shoulder. Just then, a little girl walks up, "Hey Mr. Pumpkin, where can I get tickets for 'The Pumpkin and the Witch.'" Allen quickly puts his costume back on and then shows the girl the way. Though when Allen gets back to Miranda, she was being scolded for letting a pickpocket get away with all the money she and Allen had made. "Shoot, excuse me little girl." Allen again takes off his costume and figures which way the thief went and gives chase. During the chase, Allen learns the thief is actually an akuma. 'It was a trap!' Allen growls. He quickly takes out the level two and runs back to Miranda. Only to find out that she was no longer there. 'Damn.' Allen mental cursed and then let his nose lead him back to Miranda's apartment. Though when Allen reaches Miranda's room, all he sees is "Thank you exorcist" written in blood on the wall. Then, the whitenette is knocked unconscious.
