Accomplice: I think I'm getting addicted to reviews... and coffee, but let's not go into that. Hotpocket Hunter has had to deal with me like that twice now... Anything to add, Hotpocket?

Hotpocket: Yeah! No one send virtual coffee! She's freaking psychotic And likes to dive-bomb people with her little brother's remote control shark-balloon thingy! And falls down the stairs frequently! Yeah, anyway, I've started on a friends vs. best friends fic for Lavi and Allen, even if all the other stories on my profile are temporarily being neglected in favor of D. Gray-Man.(Read:Allen Walker, Most Glorious of Plotbunnies.)

Accomplice: Anyways, hugs and kisses (well, it is Valentine's day, or at least it is now, but it's not gonna be tomorrow when I post it so... where was I?) and lot of appreciation go out to people who reviewed. Special thanks to AutumnMobile12, who provided me with the idea for rule 31 and CrazyAnimeOtaku198, who came up with rules 26 and 32.

Enjoy!


Allen raced into the Mess Hall, pink earmuffs covering his ears. Finders and exorcists stopped eating and stared as the white-haired teen threw himself into Lavi's arms.

"LAVI! YOU-" He stopped shouting as Lavi removed the earmuffs and then continued at a normal volume. " Have to help me! They won't shut up!"

Lavi and Lenalee exchanged confused glances, then Lavi looked back at Allen. "Who is it? What are they doing?" He could feel Allen's body shaking in his arms. "Tyki and Road." Allen whispered at last. Lenalee looked at him, concerned. "Allen, what did they do to you?" Allen just shook his head, muttering under his breath. Finally, "They won't stop. The singing. They said... they said they found a theme song. No more, please, no more!" he moaned. Invisible Kanda put down his chopsticks. "Singing?" Allen just nodded, still shaking. Then, from outside the hall, two deceivingly lovely voices could be heard. Everyone who had resumed eating immediately froze again, and Allen's shaking intensified. "They're coming." he whispered.

The first to go were the group of finders nearest the entrance. They ran out of the hall as the singing became more audible. Pretty soon, the whole hall was vacant, except for Allen, who was still shaking in Lavi's arms, Lavi, who was holding Allen, Lenalee, who would never abandon her comrades, and Kanda, who would never run from the Noah, as he had his image to maintain. Also, No one could see him as he was still invisible. And so they alone beheld the sight of Tyki walking down the hall with Road skipping alone beside him, the both of them singing "End of All Hope" as if their lives depended on it.

Lavi ran in fear, carrying Allen with him to safety, Lenalee tagging along to make sure they would be okay, leaving Kanda to deal with the Noah. Kanda waited until the sounds of his comrades fleeing had faded, before turning to Tyki and Road, both of whom were unwittingly approaching him. He silently drew Mugen and smirked. Stupid Noah.


24. "End of All Hope" is not our theme song

a) Do not sing it while at headquarters

b) Or on missions

c) The higherups fear us enough as it is

d) The whole "end all the innocence" part of it all hits a bit too close to home, especially when sung by Tyki

Reever was making a list of banned songs. It was currently 2 pages long and posted in the Labs. Allen's only comment was "It's opera... ... ..."

25. Allen is not allowed to sing "Slaying the Dreamer"

a) While chasing Road

b) With Crowned Clown

c) Nightwish is banned all together

Allen had finally snapped. Everyone blamed Lavi for obtaining the accursed CD. Although everyone appreciated Allen's sense of irony.

26. Do not anger Lenalee unless you have a death wish, or if you are Lavi.

a) We only have limited medical supplies after a Lenalee attack.

b) Komui does not approve. End of story...

Afterward, Lavi ended up covered in bandages after a Komui/Lenalee attack and now cries whenever he hears the word mini-skirt or boots.

27. Declaring the Asia Branch its own country is not permitted

a) Neither is refusing to rejoin the Black Order unless Lenalee marries Bak

b) Komui will kill you

No one was sure what was wrong with Bak anymore. And Komui had barricaded Lenalee and himself in the labs. Road and Tyki made frequent trips through the wall.

28. Sending Road to the Asia Branch is not an appropriate method of revenge

a) Even if she promises to videotape the whole thing and make copies for everyone

b) We are on the same side, people!

Road went to Asia. If asked what she did there to get them to rejoin the Order she would just shrug and say, "Tea-party." No one wanted the details.

29. You do not tell Skinn how to get to Candy Mountain.

a) It doesn't exist.

b) He's still trying to find Charlie.

Apparently, while telling Skinn about Candy Mountain, Lavi had neglected to mention that unicorns didn't exist.

30. Turning the river passage into a water-slide is not a good idea

a) We use boats, people.

b) One word: Budget.

No one had any common sense. Or even any sense. Or concept of money.

31. To whoever it is who has tapped the communications systems, CEASE AND DESIST!

a) Disturbing messages disturb

b) We need communications to communicate should, God forbid, anything bad happen to anyone *coughAllencough* and we need to be able to contact them!

c) Threatening people isn't allowed either

Someone had developed the habit of calling up finders and exorcists and either leaving them disturbing/borderline insane messages or threatening them. People were becoming concerned.

32. Do not tell Kanda or Allen about Lavi's new fear of mini-skirts and boots

a) Let's face it, the two of them will take advantage of this as a way of revenge!

b) Do we really want Lavi crying all the time? I mean, he is an idiot but he can't be that bad right?

A few minutes after this rule was posted Allen could be seen walking around the order smiling as if he had just won a poker game while laughing could be heard at random places. Lavi had mysteriously disappeared soon after...

33. Beware the practice grounds on the 4th floor

a) We are pretty sure the invisible homicidal samurai has taken up residence there

b) He may have helped us against the Tyki and Road singing attack, but Kanda still holds a grudge

After witnessing a sword hovering in mid-air on the 4th floor, Komui declared it off-limits in an attempt to protect people from their own stupidity. Such as pissing off an invisible entity.

34. Do not run through the halls screaming "Yuu-chan!"

a) No one is that impervious to mortal injury

b) Except for Lavi. Somehow.

Luckily, Lavi was the only one brave/dumb enough to try this. The invisible samurai was not amused.


Lenalee looked over Lavi's shoulder at the list. There were so many possible rules. They had only just scratched the surface.

"So, Lavi... mini-skirts?"

She was rewarded with a flinch and slight cower.

"Aw, but you looked so cute after that time with Road-" A hand covered her mouth. She met Lavi's desperate gaze with a look of amusement. And that was how Komui found them 5 seconds later when he burst into Lenalee's room. Lavi, with his hand over Lenalee's mouth, their heads close together, gazing into each others eyes...

"LAVI!"

Allen was walking down the hall when a red blur sprinted past. It was followed immediately after by Komui who was shouting, "Come back here, you pervert! My Lenalee!"

Allen stared after them, then shook his head and continued on to Lenalee's room, where there was sure to be cake.


Oh, Allen and his cake. Rules are fun... to break! YAY! Hotpocket had to put up with a candy and coffee hyper me yesterday so extra love goes out to her! (Because I figure that... today vs. tomorrow... it doesn't matter...)

And I'm gonna start naming the chapters... because I want to... so if anyone has any ideas for chapter names let me know and I'll make Hotpocket choose! Because adding to her stress life makes my life so much fun!
