The wind ruffled maka's hair as she sat on a park bench thinking of how she should start writing her first story, she's always loved reading so she decided years ago someday she would write her own. Her deep emerald eyes were distant and she was deep in thought when she felt a person sit beside her, she was a little startled and hurriedly looked to see if it was someone she knew, as soon as she did she relaxed "hello tsubaki" the said raven haired woman smiled softly at the greeting "hello maka" maka and tsubaki started to talk about their day when tsubaki asked maka something "maka, when are you going to confess your love for soul?" maka instantly started stuttering and blushing at the question finally she managed to get out "i-I don't know!" tsubaki laughed lightly at maka's embarrassment and shyness "let's make plans for it!" maka was utterly dumbfounded "plans?! How do you plan something like that?" tsubaki thought about it for a second before saying "make a date! Me patty and Liz will set up a place for you to confess your love!" maka was thinking of every way things could go wrong "but what is soul doesn't like me like that?" tsubaki seemed a little taken aback as she realized that what if he didn't? She couldn't think of how crushed maka would, maybe planning it wasn't such a good idea after all. Tsubaki and maka sat there in awkward silence for a long while until tsubaki got up and bid her farewells leaving maka there to think.

Maka's p.o.v

I was walking home to my apartment because dusk was falling and I didn't want to get caught out after dark, but the shadows seemed to fall faster than usual making me a little on edge. Thieves and strangers were peering out from the corners of the alleyways, looking at me hungrily as if I was a piece of fresh meat the cat dragged in. I was becoming a more frantic as the seconds passed, and soon I was running down the street as fast as I could go. I could see my apartment but the faster I ran to get to my door the further away it got, I tripped over my own feet and the figures of the men from the alley were looming over me, this was it, I'm going to be used as there toy for enjoyment, they're going to try make my life a living hell as best they can, so they can watch me suffer. I closed my eyes, i was waiting for them to snatch me up and take me back to they're filthy alley… instead of feeling rough hands grab me up I felt warm arms envelop me in a hug, I opened my eyes to see souls orange shirted chest. I blushed and snuggled closer to soul, I felt so safe in his arms, I was drifting off to sleep and I felt him pick me up bridle style. That was the last thing I remember before being totally enveloped in a heavy blanket of sleep.
