"Lenaleeee, did you know? Bookman reduced the amounts of books I had to read by just one. ONE SINGLE BOOK. How is that supposed to make any difference?! Normally I need to read 15, now 14".

"You can do it Lavi, don't worry!"

Lavi played with his hair as he looked into a tiny mirror he snatched out of Lenalee's bag. Lavi wasn't sure if he had to move some of his red hair under his bandana, leave it messy or not wear a bandana at all. Lavi tempted to ask Lenalee, but didn't since she was kind of busy. Lenalee decorated Lavi's living room with balloons and all kinds of things, making the living room look quite lively, had bought all the snacks and drinks for later,a few hours ago, then tried to sort everything out on a big plate with love. Lavi felt quite bad Lenalee already did alot of the chores. He had just been slacking off, looking at himself.

"Nehhh, L-Lavii", Lenalee panted while she actively carried a heavy table to the other side of the room, " it wouldn't hurt for a bit if you had helped out you know?".

"I know, I know Lenalee". He got up from the couch, sighing. Then hopped over to Lenalee, hugging her. "MAAH LENALEEE, You are my best friend you know that right?~ So sorry for letting you do everythinggg~ I'll help you now~", Lavi offered his help but Lenalee tried to shake him off, disappointed. "Aah mohh, Lavi, you do realize I just about finished everything?"

Lavi looked around the living room, letting go of Lenalee. "Seriously?"
"Yep! Which means I'll just let you clean everything on your own when the party is over", she smiled innocently.

He got on his knees in despair. "NOOOOOO! Lenalee, not cleaning!", Lavi immediately locked himself in an 'emo corner'.
If there was something Lavi really despised, it was cleaning up. He didn't mind helping out preparing for something- but cleaning no way in hell. The last time he ever cleaned was with his 16th birthday party four years ago; Yuu actually offered him to help him clean. First Lavi had thought it was out of kindness, but it was actually to make Lavi do everything under his command. While Yuu's murderous instinct kept on rising and rising if Lavi disobeyed, they somewhere got on a limit where Lavi was almost turned into a slave. It was such a disaster it gave him the trauma of his life. Lenalee knew this and was just joking around.

"Honestly, you silly Bookman Jr. really can't take anything I say as a joke can't you? Are you really twenty years old or what?"

"L-Lenalee, your jokes aren't really f-fu..nny..", he shivered already by the thought of what happened four years ago.

Lenalee went over to Lavi, kneeling down with a smile. "You know, I'm actually thinking if those two will ever get together".

Lavi recovered quickly, bringing his desperate face into a smooth gaze. "Who knows. Judging from what you told me earlier about what Allen said on the phone, it's almost like Allen has feelings for Kanda too. I'm cheering for Kanda, because I think he found himself some hope to cling on to".

Lenalee laughed. The red-head, surprised by her sudden laugh poked Lenalee in her belly. "Eeeh?! What's so funny Lenaleeee?"

"Lavi, when you say something like that; it's as if you suddenly matured!"

Lavi blinked at first, then grinned. "AAH LENALEE, you like me don't you?~"

Hearing this, Lenalee just facepalmed. "I should take that comment back, Lavi it's not like every girl fell for you if they just compliment you!"

"You're mean, Lenalee! Evil!"

Lenalee got up, walking to the couch. "If Nii-san heard that, you'd probably be done for by Komurin 3 right now".

..SHIT! He didn't place any voice recorder things in her clothes or something didn't he?! "Lenalee.. don't tell me..-"

"But I assure you, he didn't implant anything in my clothing!", she interrupted.

"How did you know I was gonna say that..?", he asked.

Lenalee moved a red cushion aside sat down. "I didn't. Experience", was all she replied with a blank face.

So s-scary.. I wonder how many times it happened..

"So Lavi~, shouldn't you call the lovebirds soon?", Lenalee's expression changed into a bright one.

"Pfff, why meee? If Allen doesn't pick up his phone I'll have to call Yuu-chan and if Yuu-chan doesn't pick up either I'll probably have to be the one to get them on the risk I might get thrown out of the window by Yuu-chan's evil side!"

"Well, that's alright isn't it? The rest still needs to come too-"

The doorbell rang.

"WAAA! Who might that be~". Lavi got up alive and kicking running to the door. He opened it, revealing Road Kamelot and Miranda Lotto in pretty flashy mini cocktail dresses.

S-...S-..STRIKE! "STRI- I mean, ehehe, welcome~". The red-head smiled awkwardly. In the background, Lenalee brought all snacks and drinks from the kitchen into the living room, placing them on the dining table. Then, turned on the sunglow colored radio.

"Yoooh Bookman Junior", Road greeted.

"L-Lavi. " Miranda greeted shyly. It was her first time ever attending a party, since she was such a clumsy woman. Hoping that she didn't wear anything that was too exaggerated, she decided to ask Lavi for an opinion. "Do I look alright?"

"Nyaaa Miranda!", Road hugged her, which got Miranda almost losing her balance. "Stop being so insecure! You have got nice semi curly haaair! All I got are 'purple spikes' on my head I can't even get curly with the curling irons!"

Lavi, that had no idea where he should look at, halfway blinded by the two hot girls infront of him simply turned around to walk back towards the living room.

"Hot.. hot here.. hot.. need-a-drink!", he muttered to himself.

Lenalee had placed a CD in the radio and pressed the 'play' button, dancing around the room to greet the arrived guests.

Not long after, Marie and Daisya walked right in, since the door was still open.

"OOH! NOISE MARIE! YOU'VE GROWN SO BIG!", yelled Road to him. "When's the last time I even saw you dude?! It's been like.. a few years!"

Marie smiled. "Oh.. yeah. Thanks I guess".

"Marieee!~", said Lenalee.

"Marie!". Lavi walked over to him with some beer. "You haven't changed at all, Marie!"

Lavi patted him on his shoulder.

Daisya grinned. "Maah party pooper Road Kamelot is here, tsumaranai!". (*tsumaranai=boring)

"Did you say something, soccer freak?", Road glared at Daisya which made him chuckle. He knew about Road's fights with delinquents.

"N-no..", he answered. Sweat dropped from his face, knowing he just had escaped getting beaten up like hell when Road turned her head, smiling at the nervous Miranda.

Marie and Lavi started a conversation about supermarket discounts, while the ladies got into their 'girl-talk' about sexy male artists from Japan.

Jasdero and Debitto barged in with their most emo look as possible. "EEEH! LETS GET THE PARTY STARTED!", the twins yelled in unision.

It was quiet for a moment, only the music was playing in the background.

"Ah..", murmured Daisya that thought Road wouldn't hear. "..the emo kids are here".

Lavi and Lenalee were barely able to hold their laughter because of Daisya, while Miranda looked at the situation completely clueless. Marie didn't say a word and Road threatened Daisya with a glare.

"One more insult about my family, and you're dead".

Daisya nodded in fear.

"Roaaaad! Who's that annoying boy?!", asked Debitto.

"Roaaaad! Who's he?!", asked Jasdero.

The boys stood next to her with a frown.

"Heh, just an asshole", she responsed and smirked.

Daisya wanted to comment, but didn't. He knew Road would do something terribly fearsome.

"S-so.. lets enjoy..the..welcome party.. nehh?", suggested Lenalee.

"Aren't we forgetting something?", Lavi wondered. What might that something be?.. something.. something.. thing? Someone! OH.

"Not quite, why?", responsed Daisya that soon after stuffed his mouth with salty popcorn.

Marie sighed. Sometimes Marie wondered if he was the only one really paying attention.
Then, he spoke slowly.

"Allen.. and.. Kanda".

haha enjoy xD
