A/N: YAY!

Trying too hard to be positive about this…

Allen was wary about this. Had it gone well last time? No. Was there much hope this time? Maybe. He got the song "Chapter One" by Lifehouse.

All the stars are out tonight

It feels as though I might

Make some sense of this mind

Maybe this'll turn out right

Who's to say where the wind will blow?

Time will tell us if we're

Out of answers when it stops

Climb back down to the beginning,

Take it from the top

Who's to say where the wind will blow?

What happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground?

Do you pick up the pieces all around?

And if the world should fall apart

Hold onto what you know

Take your pieces, turn around and go

All the leaves are turning and

The sky has faced decline

Funny how our lives are shaped

By the seasons of today

Who's to say where the wind will blow?

What happens when everything is lying on the ground?

Do you pick up the pieces all around?

And if the world should fall apart

Hold onto what you know

Take your chances, turn around and go

Carry on inside

Make the best of today

All I see is struggle

On the way

Maybe when the sun

Crashes, fades away

Maybe I can make it

Through today

What happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground?

Do pick up the pieces all around?

And if the world should fall apart

Hold onto what you know

Take your chances, turn around and go

Take your chances, turn around and go

There was lots of clapping. Duly noted, it was a sadish song with a happy tune, but it was good, like "Everyman". And so the clapping commenced. Along with a "Yay, Allen~!" from Road's general direction.

"Great job to Allen!" Komui gave him a thumbs-up, which Allen mirrored with a polite smile. "The last person before we start repeats is Tyki-Pon!!!"

There was tons of laughter. Like last time.

"That never gets old!" Lenalee gasped.

"Ah ha ha! Why didn't you tell us about THIS one?!" Laughed the twins. Tyki shot them a glare, his face turning red.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to EAT them.

I think it fits. In a weird, sad kind of angsty way. I also like that song. Please review!
