Chapter One
Soul walked the abandoned halls of DWMA. He was upset, it was a weekend, and nobody would hang out with him. He couldn't find anybody; No Maka, no black star, no Blair even! He was so desperate, that he was hanging around the school on a Saturday night, looking for Dr. Stein!
All of a sudden, Patty was running up to him. He couldn't help but watch her; he's been paranoid around her ever since they took the mid-term test together. (Just in case she decided to "Break his neck") "Hey soul! What are you doing here?" she said in a musical little tone. He didn't respond, he wouldn't want somebody to think a "Cool guy" like him would come off as a loner. "Kyahaha! Forget it, wanna hang out with me for a bit? " He took a moment to think about his answer….The image of her tackling her giraffe-test project thing was horrific for him. "Um…Right…Giraffe girl, um…sure."
As Patty skipped and twirled through the halls, Soul followed slowly behind. But then, he ended up running into Patty when she had suddenly stopped right in front of him, as if she had an epiphany. "Omi gosh! Soul! We should play Hide 'n' seek!" Soul was just about to tell her how stupid and un-cool Hide 'n' seek was, but then he saw how serious and enthusiastic she was. "*Frustrated sigh* fine! I will play Hide 'n' seek with you, but only if you PROMISE to take a chill pill afterwards.' She jumped a foot in the air, clapping spazz-tasticaly, and ran off into the distance. "Count to ten!" she said, and then disappeared completely.
Soul found a little bench in the hall, and he sat on it, wanting to give his tired legs a rest. (Figuring since Patty is so easily distracted, she would just go back home to Kid's place.) "I don't hear you countiiiiiing " Patty said from some far off place. So Soul drew in another breath, and began to count. "One…Two…TH-" "Ready!" Patty had said again. And just as soul went to get off the bench, all the lights in DWMA had turned off. "What…the hell…just happened?" Soul whispered to himself. "I thought Hide 'N' seek would be more fun with the lights off! Great idea, Right?" Now, Soul was really scared.
For some odd reason, Soul thought that maybe Patty was hiding in the library, across the hall. So he walked slowly into the library, without making a sound. He saw a faint light in the back of the library, which was quickly blown out, followed by Patty's distinctive giggles. "Patty?" Soul called. And his immediate response from her was a slammed door, and a hysterical laughter. So once again, he set out to find the strange…hyper…'little girl.'
