Allen came back inside almost two hours after she left Cross. "Enjoy your workout?" he addressed her in a tired tone. "What do you think?" Allen replied half-heartedly as she walked into the kitchen to grab a cold water bottle.
"I think you should find another way to express your feelings besides constant practice." Cross replied "Its not good to overexert your body like that." Allen chugged half the bottle before giving a relieved gasp. Then went to stand in front of her uncle "Are you suggesting I go back to music?"
Cross gave an amused smirk "I'm not suggesting anything but I've heard you sing before and I was wondering if the last song you sang was new. I hadn't heard it before." Allen paused and half glared at him. "You consider calling Tara again I'm sure she'd love to hear from you." He said lighting another cigarette. Scoffing slightly Allen left to wash the days stress off her body. "I might consider that." Cross nodded.
"Tim do you think I should try calling Tara?" the golden bird tilted its head at her as if saying 'duh'. She sighed and went into the bathroom not really caring that Tim was inside with her.
"Hey Tim can you play The Worst Carnival for me?" Tim nodded and played the song as Allen turned on the water and got behind the curtain. Undressing before she turned on the showerhead as the music played.
"Thrown to the ground like they were trash at your feet
All the letters I wrote you, love you're turning your back to
I've heard it said that burning love doesn't last
Still kinda shocked it blew away so fast
Just gonna stand there or have to something say?
Oh don't let me be the hold up when you're dying to move on
I know the story and it plays out like this
Soon you'll be gone to search for someone else
Left behind, again I'm thinking of sky
How I loved watching daytime fly by
Laughing smiles passing through annoy me
Can't keep down this demon glaring
Hey welcome to what's been worst day of my life
Beating from the chains and laughing 'til
I cry I'll rub the tears from out of my eyes
And kick it from this dancing carnival
I'm done wanting to be "just anyone but me"
If I couldn't burn, then maybe I can gleam
I'll say goodbye but why not let it last the night?
Blaze through the dark like hell, this carnival!
Sooner or later all the night melts away
Pouring the sunshine all over, other worlds never closer
Speaking of dreams that make your life living hell I guess I'm one as well but time will tell
Done my scheming and my plotting alright
All the hearts that I played, got played back
So I'm finally giving in and letting go
Throw them down; we're starting up my last show
They shoot across the sky as if they wanna fly
Grab one in my hand, at least I gotta try
Then maybe I can force it to hear
And grant my wish, just one for real
From Yokohama skies to Tokyo, stars align
Close enough to taste but still too far too find
I wait for sun to come and fill my world with light
It dances with no end, this carnival!
Hey welcome to what's been worst day of my life
Beating from the chains and laughing 'til
I cry I'll rub the tears from out of my eyes
And kick it from this dancing carnival
I'm done wanting to be "just anyone but me"
If I couldn't burn, then maybe I can gleam
I'll say goodbye but why not let it last the night?
Blaze through the dark like hell, this carnival!"
"Thank you Tim, I needed that and I think I've decided what I'm going to do." She said turning off the water. She then grabbed the hanging towel from the rack and dried herself before wrapping the towel securely around her.
She stepped out and Timcampy flew onto her still wet hair. "I think I might call Tara and see how good or bad this decision is. If things go well then I'll stick with it if not then I'm sure Cross can pull some strings for me.
She explained out loud as she entered her room. She placed her companion on the bed and placed a small part of the blanket over his head to hide his eyes. Changing into an angel sleeve purple shirt and black leggings and flats. She then removed the cover from Timcampy's head and headed downstairs for dinner.
She noticed Cross talking to someone on the phone and ignored the conversation for the most part. It was most likely about his business and she didn't really care unless it affected their life in some way. Hearing Cross sighed heavily after hanging up.
"Bad news?" Allen half commented, half asked. Cross looked at her a second and then smiled and lit another cigarette. "How'd you guess?" "You only sigh like that when you know that something is going to cause you stress." "Yeah, well something's come up at Judgment and they need me there right away, will you be fine on your own?"
Allen gave a him a rare mischievous glance "Careful uncle, you keep acting like that and people will start to think you care." She gave his broad chest a reassuring pat, "I'll be fine, promise. Go help the office before the place burns down."
Cross watched her for a moment before pulling her into a one armed hug. "You know where all your weapons are?" Allen rolled her eyes at that "Cross alpha is underneath my pillow, Cross grave is in my dresser next to the bed. Cross beta is underneath my bed, palling is right next to it. Cross spear is in the closet don't worry I'll be fine."
"Okay then I should be back tonight, late." He told her "Okay I'll be here." Allen replied as she went to the fridge. Cross nodded, grabbed his coat and ran out the door. Once he disappeared Allen had pulled out her phone and searched for a number. After two rings a woman answered the phone.
"Hello Tara Becker speaking." "Hello Tara its me Allen-" "Allen as in Allen Walker?" she cut of Allen's introduction. "Uh, yes its that Allen." The woman nearly squealed in what could be described as happiness, relief and excitement. The poor woman was have fan-girl moment. "Oh my gosh Allen have you reconsidered my offer of making you famous?"
"Yes I've had time to think about it and I think I'll take you up on the offer if it's still available." Allen stated. "Of course the offer is still open, Allen. I'm so glad you said yes. Don't you worry I'll make you a known around the world." "Thank you Ms. Becker. Won't we need to meet?" "Just call me Tara and as for the meeting how about meeting at the Grand Café on Saturday at noon for lunch and some tea?" "That sounds just fine, I'll let my uncle know so he can take me. Thank you very much Tara for giving me this chance." "Its my pleasure Allen, I'll see you on Saturday."
They hung up and Allen sighed deeply, she could practically hear her soon to be manager shouting in victory. "Well that wasn't as painful as I thought it would be." She said to Timcampy rubbing his head gently.
After eating her meal, feast, as some would call it, she went back upstairs around 7 and lay down in her bed. "Timcampy, I wonder if becoming famous is a good idea. At the same time I wonder if tomorrow will be better for us." She yawned and laid underneath the covers to calm herself. "I hope things will be better by tomorrow."
