A cute omake for you guys for being such good readers and putting up with my cliffie addiction.

I would have posted it last night but then this guy who I like was on msn and…Anyway, we're going out now. Teehee….

Dedicated to my new boyfriend Dani, who totally loves my stories and can see there is nothing bad about anime yoai, which is rare for a guy.

I don't own dgm.

Five year old Allen Walker walked quickly across the playground holding two books he was taking to the classroom for his teacher. He kept his head down, trying not to look at the children playing with their friends, whom he was jealous of. No one ever let him play with them, with his white hair, strangely coloured arm and weird scar on the side of his face they thought he was some kind of monster.

Then, just as he passed the flying fox, a leg was stuck out in front of him and he cried out in surprise as he tripped. The books were flung a few meters away, and sheets of paper exploded from between the pages and blew around the playground.

'Oh no!' Allen tried to get up to catch them, but was stopped when a hand grabbed the back of his collar. He made a choking noise and gripped at the material. The kid behind him laughed and turned him around. He was a year two with an ugly sneer on his face.

'HA! So it's true! There IS a monster at this school!'

'I-I'm not a monster...' Allen said in a small voice, 'Please let me go?'

'Why should I? I reckon the police would pay quite a bit for a monster. Do you go out at night and eat people? Do you paint their rooms with their blood? Answer me!'

The bully shoved Allen and he fell over hard and bit back tears. It was like this almost every day.

'Aw? Baby monster gonna cry? You can't fool me! I-'

'You better leave him alone!'

Allen looked up in surprise as another kid joined him. He had scruffy red hair and bright green eyes, one of which was covered by an Eyepatch. Allen had seen him hanging around in the year one section of the bag racks.

The bully narrowed his eyes at him, sizing him up. Although the redhead was a year younger then him, he was a few inches taller. He shrugged.

'Fine, let the monster go and let it eat people.'

The bully left, hands in his pockets. The redhead bent down and offered Allen his hand, a smile on his face.

'Hi, are you ok?'

'I'm fine...' Allen stared suspiciously at the hand. After a moment of consideration, he took it and the taller boy pulled him up.

'Don't listen to what that meanie said,' the redhead grinned, 'I don't think you're a monster.'

'Y-you don't?'

'Nope. Anyway, we'd better get those books and stuff gathered up.'

The pirate boy chuckled and ran to catch some of the papers. Allen could only stare after him, completely shocked. He'd never met a person his age who wasn't afraid of him, or who was nice to him.

'Hey!' The older boy called, 'There's some paper at your feet!'

Allen snapped out of it and bent to gather up the papers. By the time he was finished, the redhead had gathered up the rest of the sheets, stuck them back in the books, and proceeded to hand them to Allen.

'Here you go!'

'Th-thankyou...' Allen bowed his head nervously.

'No problem! Anyway, I gotta go, so I'll see you later!'

Allen nodded. The boy grinned and ran off. Allen sighed.

Allen peered out from under the covered area of the front of the school. It was raining, and the other students had all gone him. As usual, his mother was late in picking him up.

The five year old wrung his hands nervously. He'd gotten in trouble with the teacher for dirtying her books. He hadn't told why he'd dropped them though, no one ever believed him when he said he was being bullied in the past.

'Hello again!'

'GAH!' Allen jumped and made a surprised noise. The redheaded boy from before had appeared next to him, wearing a big smile.

'I'm Lavi by the way,' Lavi extended his hand, 'What's your name?'

'I-I'm Allen...' Allen briefly shook his hand.

'Allen huh? That's a nice name; I have an uncle called Allen, though he prefers to be called Elaine for some reason... He likes wearing dresses too, weird huh? My cousin told me he's a cross dresser, what ever that means... He's funny.'

Unable to help himself, Allen giggled. Lavi's face brightened.

'YAY! I got you to smile! I've seen you around and you always look sad. Why are you sad?'

'I'm not sad...'

'Well what ever you stop being it. Are you waiting for your parents?'

'Yes, my mum's picking me up...'

'That's nice of her,' Lavi grinned, 'I have to wait for my grandpa. My parents died last year so I live with him now.'

Allen blinked in surprise. How could he be smiling like that if his parents were dead?

'Anyway,' Lavi continued, 'I'm new to this town actually, only got here last week. Sure does rain here a lot.'

'It does...' Allen nodded, 'B-but I like the rain.'

'Really?'

'Yes, it's pretty, and everything smells nice afterwards.'

'Heh, I guess you're right.'

Lavi stared out at the rain, silent and thoughtful. Allen couldn't believe it. He was having a conversation! Was he making a friend?

'U-um...' Allen's voice shook, 'L-Lavi?'

'Yup?'

'Um... I'm turning six on the weekend, and I'm having a party with relatives and stuff... Would you like to come?'

He held his breath nervously. Lavi turned to look at him seriously.

'I'd...LOVE TO COME!' Lavi suddenly pulled Allen into a bone-crushing hug. Allen blinked in surprised, then smiled.

'Uh.. Thankyou...

'So should I bring you a present?' Lavi pulled away, 'I'll bring you a present. What would you like? Do you like drawing or reading?'

'Uh...' Allen blinked, unsure of how to answer. Just then, he heard his mother's voice.

'Allen!'

Allen and Lavi turned to see Mrs. Walker trotting up the pathway, an umbrella over her head.

'Sorry I'm later sweetie... Who's this?' She smiled at Lavi.

'He's Lavi. Mummy, can he come to my party?'

'Of course he can!' Mrs. Walker nodded, then put down the umbrella to ruffle through her handbag, 'Hold on, I'll just find... AH! Here we go!'

She pulled out a card and handed it to Lavi.

'Me and my husband's numbers are on that, so get your parents to call us ok?'

'Sure thing!' Lavi saluted, 'I'll give it to my grandpa soon as he gets here.'

'You're... Granpa?'

'I'm living with him.'

'Oh, ok... Ok, Allen, we'd better go.'

'Kay...' Allen nodded as his mother picked up the umbrella and took his hand. He tuned back to Lavi.

'Um, bye Lavi...'

'Yeah, see ya!'

Allen smiled and he and his mother ran quickly down the path towards their car. Allen had never felt happier in his life. He'd made a friend.
