In response to a review question, I don't think there'll be any pairings, just because I want it to be really funny, and it seems that romance just complicates things ;P Not that we've ever seen THAT in literature, oh no.

So, here's the newest chapter. Enjoy!

"Are you sure you can eat all that?"

Lavi had recommended that Abby go somewhere cheap, since Allen and Lavi didn't have their own money. Abby figured she'd have enough money for two teens and herself, so she compromised and decided on Applebee's and told the two to order whatever they wanted. She was wondering if she would regret that decision now that she saw the redhead wasn't exaggerating about his friend's appetite.

Lavi smiled at the six plates of food. "This is nothing! You should have seen a couple days ago. Practically emptied the kitchen in one go!"

"I didn't eat that much, Lavi." Allen was unrolling his silverware from the napkin.

"You don't remember? You ate enough to completely fill your bed and cover two tables in the cafeteria with dirty dishes. Not to mention the bag of food as tall as you are that you were 'snacking' on for the next while."

Allen lowered his head, turning away from Lavi in embarrassment.

"Well, eat up you two," Abby said. The idea of how much Allen ate scared her a little. She'd always heard that teenagers ate a lot, but that much was just crazy! But she wanted to know more about them, so she wouldn't let that fear hinder her efforts!

A waitress walked up to their table. "Does everything taste okay?"

Abby looked at her. "Yes, thank you." The waitress smiled and walked away.

She looked at the Exorcists, and her eyes went wide. All of Allen's plates were clean! They didn't have any little scraps of food left on them, either. They were totally and completely clean.

"D-did you eat all that just now?" The Exorcists smiled at Abby's question. "How is that even possible?"

"It's because of my Innocence type," Allen said, setting down the napkin he'd been using to scrape crumbs off his jacket. "And it's this big idiot's fault that I was so hungry."

Rather than arguing, Lavi just started eating.

"By the way, what's the year?" Allen's question seemed so honest, one would think he didn't know what was going on.

"Um, it's 2011."

The teens looked at each other, each looking shocked and horrified in equal proportions. Silence fell over the table.

"So, what do you mean 'Innocence type'?" Abby looked at Allen, as he wasn't eating. "What's Innocence?"

"Innocence is the material used to make weapons to fight the Millennium Earl and his own weapons, Akuma. He aims to destroy the world using his Akuma and the Noah family is all too happy helping him do it.

"Basically, you can be two Innocence types: Parasite or Equip."

"Orf Cryftal." Lavi said.

Allen looked at his friend, apparently annoyed. "I'm trying to keep it simple here, Lavi. Just go back to stuffing your face." He looked at Abby again, smiling. "Anyway, Parasite types are born with Innocence, while Equip types are found to be compatible with Innocence later in their lives.

"Each type has pros and cons. Parasite type Innocence is easier to activate, as it dwells within the user's body; on the flip side, it drains on their life force, shortening their lifespan. And I guess Parasite types need a lot of food to keep up their energy."

Abby was shocked. This story was unbelievable! Yet . . . seemed rational at the same time. There was one phrase that kept running through her mind: "shortening their lifespan." Allen said because of his Innocence type, he was hungry all the time. And, according to his explanation, Parasite types ate a lot. The same type that has a shorter lifespan. So Allen knew he would die sooner than his friend.

Abby's head lowered. "I'm sorry," she said almost in a whisper.

Allen's eyes went wide. "No, no! It's okay," he said waving his hands in front of him. "Chances are I'll die in battle long before old age!"

Oh yeah, that made her feel better.

Allen put his hands in his lap, also lowering his head. He must have realized he had better stop while he was behind.

The waitress brought the check, and Allen looked at Lavi, who was done eating. "You ready to go?"

"Go where? We don't even know where we are, Allen."

"On the way here we passed a shop I thought may have what Miss Abby is looking for."

Seriously? Miss Abby?

"What shop?"

"Olde Tyme Formal. Since we're more than a hundred years in the future, they may just have what we need." Allen smiled, and the trio got up to go rifle through the racks of history.

Thanks for reading the newest chapter! Sorry for the updates about as fast as molasses, but that'll change, I swear!

As always, review ^_^
