Allen was minding his own business and eating his breakfast, when all hell broke loose. Lavi, his best friend and (as he says) adopted big brother, ran into the room, tripped over something, and went flying through the air towards Allen’s mountain of food. Following, a crash rang, and a ton of food went flying through the whole cafeteria. Allen glared at the unfortunate boy who had interrupted his meal. Knowing the exorcist’s views on wasted food, Lavi shrank back and attempted to blend in with the remainder of the food left on the table, he said in a small voice, “Komui wants to see you Allen.”
Allen left the table, still glaring at his friend. Unspoken promises of pain and torture for wasting food caused Lavi to shrink back even more into the uneaten food. As Allen left the cafeteria, he couldn’t help but laugh at his friend’s expression. It was too funny. As he made his way up to the office where Komui would probably be, he ran into Lenalee. Allen felt sorry for the girl, as she had just gotten her innocence back, but Komui would probably never stop lamenting the loss of her hair.
“We get a mission together, Allen! Can you believe it?” the excited girl exclaimed.
“A mission?” Allen asked, “I was just told to go see Komui…”
Lenalee didn’t let him finish his sentence, grabbed Allen’s arm and proceeded to drag him to Komui’s office. When they entered the room, Komui waved for them to sit down and handed them their black folders.
“You two will be going undercover to the town of Karmel to find and retrieve innocence. You will also be going as a married couple…” Komui trailed off and looked at Allen and Lenalee, “But Allen, you will be going as the wife and Lenalee will be going as your husband.”
Lenalee jumped up. “WHA-” Lenalee started to exclaim, when Komui put a hand over her mouth.
“But Lenalee!! I want all those nasty men out there to stay away from you!” Komui cried, tears rapidly falling out of his eyes.
Allen, now familiar with Komui’s attitude towards his younger sister, shook his head and placed his hand on Lenalee’s shoulder. “Why don’t we just do as he says? It’s not like you are going to change his mind,” he spoke softly, smiling gently. He turned towards the older man holding on to Lenalee, with an evil look on his face, leaned in close to whisper into his ear, “I’ll dress up as a girl this once for Lenalee’s sake, but if you ever decide to make me cross-dress again…” Leaving his threat open as the man already looked incredibly scared, he turned towards Lenalee, smiling once more. “Let’s just get this over with,” He said as he plopped down onto the couch, ready to hear more details. Lenalee followed Allen’s lead although she did not look too excited now.
Komui, not wanting to face any more of the white haired exorcist’s wrath, said, “Allen you need to go down to the medical department, as the Matron has your clothing and everything else you need to get ready for this mission. Lenalee you stay here, as I need to talk to you.”
Allen frowned, but left the room. Komui shut the door behind him. “Lenalee, you cannot tell Allen, but he’s going to be getting a shot that will effectively hide his innocence, but he cannot fight for the next few months. His innocence will look and act like a normal arm. Please watch out for him.”
Meanwhile, in the infirmary, Allen was sitting down in the back room. Out of every one in the Order, only the Matron knew that Allen was a girl, and that was only because she got caught sneaking sanitary items out of one of the medical cabinets a few weeks after she arrived. She was also the only one that knew that her name was Ellen. The matron knowing her secret turned out to be a good thing, since Ellen got herself injured on almost every mission she went on.
Ellen decided that it was time to get changed into her disguise. She took off her wig to reveal thick, white, wavy hair that went past her butt; she got undressed and unwrapped the bindings from her chest and put on the dress the matron had given her. It was a very modest, high necked, light purple gown. She also slipped on the small pair of heels. Next was the makeup. She put some on the left side of her face to see if it would cover the curse and looked into the small handheld mirror. To her surprise it did. After that she continued to apply her makeup. Then she looked around the room for a mirror to see if there was anything else that she needed to do to complete her disguise. Not finding one she opened the door, and walked out of the room to find Lenalee talking to the matron. Both turned to see Ellen trying to sneak back into the little room.
Lenalee grabbed Ellen’s arm and dragged her into the room. “I’m Lenalee! Welcome to the Black Order…” She turned to the matron to find out the girl’s name.
The matron had covered her mouth with her hand and was trying hard not to laugh as Ellen pulled her hand out of Lenalee’s grip and exclaimed, “I’m Allen, you idiot!”
Lenalee’s face was the picture of shock. “But how…?” She mumbled and then realized what their mission was again, “Oh!”
The matron, still trying not to laugh, went over to Ellen and told her that she needed to get a shot. Ellen pulled up her right sleeve to comply with the matron’s wishes. “Not that arm,” the matron said, “It has to be the left arm.” Slightly confused, Ellen pulled up her left sleeve. The matron took a syringe and found a vein in the crook of Ellen’s arm. After the shot was administered, a loud growl came from the direction of Ellen’s stomach.
Pointedly looking at both women, Ellen said, “What? Lavi interrupted my breakfast and-” Ellen broke off her sentence as both the matron and Lenalee were howling with laughter. “Fine! I’ll go by myself!” Ellen exclaimed as she left the room. Lenalee ran to catch up with her friend as she went to join her for a snack.
Lavi was still in the cafeteria, as he had to clean up the mess he had made that morning. He saw Lenalee enter followed by an unknown young woman. “STRIKE!” He exclaimed, and ran over to them. Lavi went right next to the woman and started to introduce himself, when he finally noticed the murderous expression on her face.
She grabbed the front of his shirt, got right into his face and said, in a too familiar voice, “If you ever flirt with me again I will not hesitate to hurt you, Lavi.”
Lavi’s face went white as he realized just who he was talking to. This was not good. Along with this morning’s catastrophe, he had just flirted with Allen.
Dropping the death grip that she had on his shirt, Ellen went to order some food from Jerry.
