A/N: Well. I was going to work on a reply for an RP I'm doing…but Arashi, my character, is being highly uncooperative with me. It makes me sad. I'd smack him for it…but he doesn't feel pain so it wouldn't do anything.

Thank you all who review this fanfic. 3

ANYWAY. This chapter is sort of a filler one, but not completely irrelevant to the plot. Allen does need to learn how to use his Noah to the best of his abilities. As the Musician, he's going to have to know how to sing and play some musical instruments.

I don't know how to play the piano. So. Forgive me for it being so…simple and suckish.

The songs listed were composed by;
Frederick Chopin - Funeral March, Tristesse, Nocturne, Fantasie
Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata
Mozart – Lacrimosa, Requirem

I would also like to dedicate this chapter to one of my best friends ever. My friend Kat is headed off to college soon. So, I won't get to see her for awhile because it's far away. Thank you, Kat for being my friend, being an epic person, and always being there. Good luck.

Musical Training

Kanda wasn't the only one who had a meditation room; Allen had his own secret one in the Ark. It was where he and Neah could work inside Allen's subconscious on his abilities without harming anything else in the process. Or anybody else. Namely himself.

Although learning how to play the piano wasn't really going to hurt anything, however. The main grand piano in the 14th's room was the only piano currently held inside the Ark, and Neah deemed it easier to teach this way. It would allow him some play time with Allen's body while the boy concentrated on practice.

The two sat on the bench of the white grand piano, Neah calmly pointing out each key and then tapping it for him to show off the sound of each note. He would also use the foot pedals of the piano, although none of the songs he ever used really used it, but he wanted Allen to fully know how to make us of a piano.

"One ability of the Musician, nephew, is the ability to bewitch. Simply by doing anything musical, be it humming or singing, you catch the full of attention of any human or Akuma who hear it," Neah explained. "It can also be used to weave illusions, and although it can not fully control somebody, you're able to suggest for them to do things. It has to be something that they would normally do however. Like…Kanda…you can't tell him to go frolic in a field of flowers wearing a dress."

Neah then turned to Allen, swinging one leg over to straddle the bench. "Now. For your homework. You know the notes, and whatnot. Now, I have songs for you learn." A stack of piano songs was now being placed between the two. "I want you to learn Nocturne, Moonlight Sonata, Tristesse, Lacrimosa, Requiem and Funeral March."

Neah then proceeded to explain his reason. "There are the seven songs in all that control this Ark. Musician is the one creates the Gate and moves the Ark to certain places, it also creates the each room based upon the images in your head. Nocturne will destroy all current Ark Gates that are set, Moonlight Sonata will…it's fairly useless actually…but you see how bright everything is in the town? It'll create darkness. Tristesse will expel everything that is not a part of the Ark originally out…mostly just people. Lacrimosa will lock the Ark in place, not even allowing the Musician to move it unless played a second time; that's why the Earl could never move it after he killed me. Requiem will program the songs and then Funeral March…it will completely reset the Ark. All rooms and the songs I've programmed will be reset, and the gates will be destroyed. Any people inside the ark will automatically be expelled except the Musician. If Funeral March is played, then the first song you play after it will be the song that programs all the other songs."

Allen nodded his head wearily, already seeing all the work ahead of him. It would take weeks for him to learn all these songs, maybe even longer with other things to do.

"Don't worry, Allen. You're the Musician. It pretty much makes you a musical prodigy," Neah said brightly. "Have fun practicing though. Oooh. That reminds me…I forgot one. Fantasie, when played on any instrument will make that instrument the heart of this Ark, replacing the piano." Another piece was added to the ever-growing stack. "Later, I'll just think up a bunch of random songs for you learn. I'll also be teaching you how to sing, play violin, cello, viola…Before you ask, I can also play those instruments and I can sing." Neah beamed, and then just vanished; leaving Allen with a stack of songs he needed to learn.

Allen twitched, and then decided that Neah was just as bad as Cross was when it came to teaching.

A/N

Two chapters in one day. I ARE AMAZING. I always figured that the Neah would have more than one song programmed into the Ark. I just picked a bunch of pretty songs from famous composers. I know it's a bit shorter than normal...but I couldn't think of anything else to add.

Next chapter; Lenalee and Lavi's decision. Neah's sadistic side will also be making a debut against that Hitler-wannabe. Allen being distracted by practice means Neah can do whatever he wants until Allen notices. Levellier had a change of heart in chapter 205, but still…one act of kindness towards Link doesn't change anything.
