Allen stared up at the school. "I'm not sure if this is creepier or cooler than the Black Order's place." He was so distracted he didn't even notice a girl with platinum blond hair, pale skin, and bright green eyes until she fell into him. "Gah!" they both shrieked as they hit the ground. "Sorry! Sorry! I didn't see you."

Allen grunted as he sat up. "Nah. You're okay. I shouldn't have been standing in the middle of the walkway gawking." He glanced at the girl. She was wearing an Exorcist's coat.

She gaped at him. "You're an Exorcist, too?!" Allen blinked. "You must be that Exorcist Komui was talking about. How'd you manage to become an Exorcist without a weapon or being one?"

The girl frowned. "I had a weapon. He died." Allen sweat dropped. "I'm sorry I asked." The girl waved him off.

"Whatever. I'm Echo." Allen scratched the back of his head. "I'm Allen Walker." Echo stood and helped him up. Allen grinned. "Again, sorry." A bell rang and Echo cringed. "We'd better get going!"

<(-.-<)

"So, you don't have a Meister, eh? What, you too good for one?" A blue haired boy demanded. His weapon, a girl with long black hair, grabbed his arm. "Black Star! Remember what happened last time?!" Allen stared as the Meister grinned.

"Last time, I was using a weapon I couldn't resonate with. Now I'm going to use you!" The girl groaned. She turned to Allen. "I'm sorry about this. My name's Tsubaki, and this is Black Star."

Black Star screamed, "I am a god! And this god wants to fight! Tsubaki!" Tsubaki cringed. "Sorry!" Allen sighed. "All right. Let's go."

*ten minutes later*

Maka, Soul, Kid, Crona, Liz, Patty, and Echo (who Maka's group had met wandering the halls) walked outside to see Black Star screaming, anime tears pouring from his eyes like waterfalls, running from a white haired boy who's arm was currently a cannon.

Every step he took, Allen fired where his foot had been. He didn't want to blow the guy's leg off. "Give up yet?" he called. "Never!" Black Star screamed. Maka sighed and threw a book, sending the "god" falling, the aforementioned book lodged in his head with blood spewing from it comically.

Allen jerked his arm up before he could blow the guy up. He turned as Tsubaki returned to human form to check on her Meister. Echo waved. "You know, it's not nice to tease people!" Allen held his hands up. "Hey, I went easy on him so I didn't accidentally take his face off!"

Echo cocked an eyebrow. "Just because you had extra training as an Exorcist doesn't mean that you should underestimate these guys. They're actually pretty tough. Like how--Black Star, was it?--Black Star is right behind you, ready to take you out."

Echo threw a punch as Allen whipped around, narrowly missing the white haired boy's ear as her fist slammed into Black Star's face. Black Star reared back with a scream of pain, blood gushing out of his nose. Echo blinked and exchanged a glance with Allen. "Is it just me or do they bleed really easy here?"

"Not so much in battle." Maka said. "Actually, we're pretty durable. But when it comes to down time like this...." She sighed. "You should see Soul when Blair turns into a human."

Allen blinked. "Heh?" Echo put in, "Blair is her cat with magical powers." Allen's eyes widened. "Is that a thing?" Echo and the others laughed as they walked off, leaving Tsubaki to take care of Black Star.

Allen paused. "I just realized something." Echo glanced at him. "Komui didn't say anything about where I was staying." Echo froze, then facepalmed. "Neither did Mir! Or Lord Death, for that matter."

Death the Kid opened his mouth, but Maka said, "You two can stay with us if you want. We have a spare bedroom and a couple of beds in the attic." Soul nodded.

Kid opened his mouth, but Echo said, "If you don't mind, I for one would love to. Thanks." Kid opened his mouth, but Allen put in, "If that's okay, I would like to, too. Er, as well? Ah, you get it. Thank you." Kid's eye twitched. He opened his mouth, but before he could scream his frustration, Patty screeched, "Yay, new friends! Let's go get ice cream!!!"

Liz frowned. "You just want ice cream." she accused.

Patty simply shrugged.
