"Neo, is that you?" A whispery voice asked. I stopped moving.

Turn around.

No.

Just-

No. I refuse. I bet it's one of your ghost buddies, or better yet: You managed to get death to come and take my soul so you could have my body for yourself.

Of course I didn't! If I really could do that, do you think you would be here today? You insufferable child! 

I tilted my head and thought about that. I guess she had a point. I decided to turn around. And was meet with the sight of an older version of Lavi. I gaped at him. "Oh. My. God." I said. "Dude, I know your a ghost and all, but your pretty hot. I think I know your great times (Insert Number Here) grandson. I think I seriously need to think about Lavi as a boyfriend." He gaped at me.

Terra, why would you say something like that?

Haven't We been through this before? My name is One, Neo.

Doesn't matter. Why would you say that?

I looked at the person in front of me and realized he was blushing. O.o Ghost can blush. That was when I realized he looked everywhere but me. No, not me. Neo. It was my turn to gape. "Oh my gosh! You two, you two.....dated?" I screamed. "Oh my gosh, Neo you had a child? Lavi really is his relative. Dude, did the Black Order find out? Is that why you died so young or was it the Millennium Earl? I bet it was the Millennium Earl. He is Neo's older brother."

One, that is not what happened! He just chooses to look like this. 

I nodded and looked at the ghost. "So do I just call you bookman or do you actually have a name?" I asked.

"Bookman is fine." He said. 

"Okay then." I nodded and looked around. "So is there a reason I'm here or was it really just a coincidence that I fell?" I asked.

That was totally a coincidence. Though very convenient.

"How was that convenient?" I yelled.

You made it. Your Christmas present is here.

I paled. She really is going to kill me. Death is my present. Wait a minute. Since when is it December?

Since twenty-three days ago. Think of this as an early present for it and your birthday.

I totally forgot my birthday. I hadn't celebrated it in such a long time. It was Christmas Eve as I was the eldest and born two minutes before Allen making our birthdays different. Tomorrow's Christmas Eve. How do you forget your birthday?

You forgot, didn't you? I can't believe I'm stuck inside you.

"Whatever." I muttered. "What are you talking about anyway?"

"I believe she wants me to give you a volume of pictures of your...family lineage, I suppose. I've kept a record going back as far as I could. Neo asked me when you first came here." Bookman said. Suddenly, a scene shifted in my memory gaining my attention.

~~~~~~~~~~~~(Vision)~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was me walking through the order. Someone was holding my hand; leading through the empty halls of the darkened order. I looked up into crimson red eyes and smiled. Surprisingly calm for a child my age, I knew I could trust this woman though I knew I hadn't met her before. She smiled as she lead me into what was now Komui's office. Here, though, it was a large library and many books. Neo scooped me up and climbed a ladder and pulled on the torch. The book cases jutted out and she climbed the stairs and we both fell into darkness. As we landed on the soft cushions she laughed at my startled face. She lit a candle and the room illuminated and I saw all of its glory. There were beautiful paintings, statues, and books all over. I spun in awe as examined the room with as much curiosity I could muster.
