So, I am beginning a series of Soul Eater drabbles, mostly featuring the pairing of Maka/Soul and Liz/Kidd. I am fairly new to SE, so reviews are much appreciated. I plan to do about a hundred prompts, probably fifty-fifty between the pairings. If you have a prompt suggestion, send it my way!

Maka Albarn stood in front of the display case, gazing longingly at the absolutely adorable black puppy that was bouncing around behind the glass. He was tiny and playful, but the girl knew that his kind of breed grew to be large brutes, having the same genes as the fabled three-headed hound that guarded the gates of Hades. She didn't realize that she'd been standing there for a long time until Liz and Patti Thompson came wandering back to her.

"Cute choice, Maka. But do you think your apartment will hold him as he gets bigger?" Liz was almost two years older than Maka, but she sounded a lot like a mom. It must have stemmed from her practice of taking care of Patti and their Technician, Kidd.

"Ohhh! A puppy! Oh, Liz, can we get a puppy? I love puppies!" Patti was gazing in that same longing way and Liz had a feeling that her small family was going to get a bit larger.

"Well, remember when I said we'd talk to Kidd? Didn't he tell you that we could get a kitten? Cats are much easier to take care-"

"No! I want a puppy, 'Lizbeth! That puppy." Patti pointed a long manicured finger at one of the soon-to-be-monster-huge bundles of fur. Liz looked at her sister and her friend. She rolled her eyes as they gave up the fight and scrambled into the pet store. The oldest Thompson sister shook her head as she noticed her Meister strolling down the street.

"Liz! Where is Patti? We have a mission tomorrow and I need to go over the specifics to ensure that we are perfectly symmetrical!" He stopped in front of her with a huff. Death the Kidd was a wonderful Meister, but he was extremely OCD about little things, like poses and looks and hair and clothes and…

"Patti is inside the store, Kidd. Oh, yeah, and I think we'll need to stop and get dog food on the way home."

"Liz, why in the world would we need to purchase dog food? Have you finally tasted your own cooking?"

"Yo! You guys seen Maka around here?" Soul Eater Evans came to a stop in front of the crumpled heap that was Kidd. The black haired young man moaned in the negative, having come under the attack of his Weapon's hand.

"She's inside with Patti. How do you feel about pets, Soul?" the white haired scythe cocked his head as Liz began to chuckle.

"Pets?"

"Soul! Look what I just bought!" Maka came barreling out of the store, a bag of goodies in one hand and a squirming ball of black in the other.

"Maka, what the heck is that thing under your arm?"

"Oh! Soul, meet Cerberus!" Soul looked down at the dog that was being pushed into his face. Large brown eyes sparkled up at him, and a small pink tongue came out to bathe his chin.

"No, Maka." Soul tried to be stern as his Technician looked up at him imploringly. They had both agreed that Blair was all the pet they needed, and that their apartment was too small for another animal.

"Soul, he NEEDS me. You don't understand."

Liz watched happily as Soul was slowly worn down by the love of his life and the little puppy in his arms. It was then that she noticed that Kidd was no longer on the ground in front of her and Patti was nowhere to be found. The store's door opened again and Liz was shocked at what she saw. Patti indeed had her puppy, and she was cuddling and cooing and squashing the pup to her chest. That was nothing shocking to Liz, as her sister was prone to pick up any old stray off the street. No, it was KIDD. The future Reaper was also exiting the store, carefully cradling his own little ball of fluff.

"Kidd! What are you doing? We can't have TWO dogs!" Kidd glared at her before dropping his bags and hugging the puppy close to him.

"Liz, the asymmetry of having only one dog would drive me insane. This way, we are balanced. Patti has a dog, and I have a dog and you… have… You don't have a pet! We must purchase another dog! Oh, what trash I am to have forgotten you, Liz! Oh how will you ever forgive my horrible oversight? I am nothing, nothing!" Kidd was turning back to the store when Liz grabbed him by the shoulder.

"No, Kidd. If we buy another puppy, there will be three dogs. Then we'd have to buy one more to make it even. But, we'd have an extra dog and therefore it would not be even at all. Listen, we'll think of something, but two dogs are enough. Let's go home." Maka giggled at Kidd's face as he tried to process the information.

"You know, now that we have Cerberus, Blair will probably need a new place to stay. She doesn't really care for dogs." Liz glanced back at Kidd, who was not paying them any mind.

"Okay, sounds great. Send her over when you get home. I just hope these two are serious about their new pets. I'll be damned if I'm the one taking care of them!"

"MAKA! This thing just frickin' peed on me! DO something!" Maka's laughter rang out in the late afternoon air.

Sooo… yeah. New to Soul Eater, but I've pretty much fallen in love with it. Review and tell me what you think!
