Okay so I decided to rewrite some of this. Its generally the same but a few things have been fixed. I hope it's an enjoyable story.

Once again it is my first Soul Eater fic. So go easy on me ok.

Soul Eater is not mine.

Welcom to Death City, home of the Death Weapon Meister Academy. Where students work to maintain order in the world by collecting the souls of Kishin eggs, and creating powerful weapons for the grim reaper himself. Although for one particular meister, that task was becoming more tedious with each passing day.

Nothing Special, thats always been Ayelis' veiws on herself. Not that it was ever a big deal, She never really minded being ordinary. She didn't have any other skills to boast about. She was just an average meister, attending classes at the DWMA. Or at least she always thought of herself as a sort of plain person. She wasn't overly good looking or anything, and she didn't have any particular charms with boys. Of course she had never really tried to asociate with anyone.

Though belittled by her own thoughts, she did however, look up to some of the others in the school. Like Black star and Tsubaki. The two of them always seemed to work well together. Not to mention How strong Black Star is. Maka and Soul were a great pair as well. The scythmeister had awesome soul perception. Probably the best the academy has ever seen. Soul was just cool altogether. A level headed kind of guy. Ayelis couldn't really compare to any of them at all.

Then there was the son of Lord Death himself, Death the Kid. Ayelis admired the bond he had with his weapons, and he was one hell of a meister. With Liz and Patty by his side, the three were incredible. Maybe it was envy, or maybe it was admiration. Ayelis was never really sure. All she really knew was, if she could even come close to what they had all achieved, she doubted she'd feel so out of place.

Vizy and Lyall Reinhard, were her two best friends, and her weapon partners. The former was always more than a handfull at times, but he was a good laugh, and the latter was the quiet one ninety percent of the time. Ayelis never really understood why the two of them were so different, but she had accepted it a long time ago. Both of them had helped her out through thick and thin. They were like her brothers, and she wouldn't trade them for anything or anyone.

So far though, the trio's soul collection count was zero. Ayelis was not the greatest meister, or she seemed to bring herself down about it most of the time. Her social skills, or rather lack there of, didn't really help her much. She had tried asking for help with her lessons, but she always seemed to get so frustrated, and overreact, no matter who it was she talked to. Professor Stein was more intimidating than Lord Death at times, and The only friends Ayelis really had were Vizy and Lyall. It was never her intention to come off as antisocial, but the way things were. Thats exactly how it seemed to some people.

"YO! Ayelis! Wake the hell up!"

"Vizy! Come on, leave her alone."

"Shut up, Lyall! She's gotta get up!" he shook the girl from her peacful sleep, "Ayelis! Dude, we're late for class!"

"Huh? OH NO! Sorry guys!"

The three of them started another day, at the DWMA. Ayelis grabbed her things, running out the door at top speed. Her partners following behind her. This was the routine for almost every day of the trio's lives. Very seldom was it that they were ever on time. Perhaps once in the previous year, they had been on time. Ayelis had been sure Proffessor Stein would love to do some kind of experiment on them ,to put an end to the three's tardiness. Half the time they were left to stand out in the hall for being late. it was no wonder the three of them were so far behind in class.

"Ayelis, you know, maybe you should set your alarm an hour earlier?" the boy shrugged.

"Lyall...why did you wait til now to suggest that? We could of had a better attendance the whole time!" she was frustrated again.

"Maybe cuz he's an idiot. Besides, if you're so smart, how come you didn't just think of it yourself?"

"Shut it Vizy!" Ayelis was not impressed. Vizy was always picking on the two of them.

When the group was finally allowed back into the classroom, Ayelis was taken a bit off guard to be greeted by Maka, and Tsubaki. she hadn't expected the pair to be waiting for her. She was curious of what the other two girls could want. The two of them would talk to her sometimes, but she hadn't really considered them friends. Even Liz and Patty had made the effort to talk to Ayelis every now and then. Kid, Black Star, and Soul too. They had all made the attempt at some point to be friendly with her. She would occasionally wave or greet them as they passed one another in the hallway, but that was about all.

"Hey Ayelis."Maka's voice was bright and chipper as she greeted her classmate."Listen, I know you're behind in class..." Ayelis cringed. Apparently her incompetence was a popular topic. Maka continued though,"Tsubaki and I were thinking, and we don't mind letting you use our notes to catch up."

She was quite surprised with their offer, "You don't mind? I... would appreciate it. Thank you."

"Sure, Its no big deal. We are your classmates." Ayelis sighed. Tsubaki and Maka were like that, and out of her two partners, Lyall was the only reliable one. Unfortunatley he was in the same boat as his meister... failing.

Both girls smiled at her, and handed Ayelis their notes. It would certainly help, and at that point she thought she should consider talking to them more. She did sit behind them in class. It wasn't like they were really overbearing, like their partners Soul and Black Star. Soul was ok, but when the two got together all hell broke loose. She had been watching out the window, the day the both of them had decided to take on Kid. She had found it rather amusing when they got their asses royally kicked.

It seemed to Ayelis the only male with any intelligence in the group would have to be Death the Kid, and even he was not all there sometimes either. Ayelis often wondered to herself, how anyone could be so obsessed over something like symmetry. She herself liked to be coordinated, but she was not obsessed with it. It was creepy sometimes. How Liz and Patty put up with it, she thought she would never understand. Although the memory of her own moron of a partner, made her think that perhaps she did understand in a way.

She thought back to it, the first time Vizy had picked a fight with Black Star. The idiot went in thinking he was going to whoop their butts. He lost of course. He had neglected to enlist the help of his own meister, and was easily beat to a pulp. That never really stopped Vizy though, and just pissed him off a lot that he kept losing. Maka was lucky. Soul could be a jerk, but he wasn't stupid. Kid is obsessive, not stupid. It just seemed like it happened at the worst possible times for Liz and Patty. In any case, Lyall balanced out any issues that ayelis had with Vizy, and vice versa.

Class had been dismissed, and Ayelis and the boys made their way to the door. It was nice of Maka and Tsubaki to lend her their notebooks, and it brightened her day a little bit. The girl had been lost in her thoughts, as she didn't notice Liz and Patty had blocked her way.

"Hey! Ayelis! Hellooo?"

"Oh! I'm sorry Liz. Uh... was there something you needed?"

"YUP! Liz was gonna ask if you guys were going to the party or not!" Patty spoke in her usual bubbly way.

Party? Ayelis wasn't fond of big social events, "Well I don't usually..."

"Come on Ayelis! You never go to these things!" Vizy grabbed his meister's arm, giving her a look that creeped her out more than anything. "PLEASE?"

"You know, it couldn't hurt. Why not Ayelis?"

Lyall even wanted her to go? "I suppose not. Where exactly is it?", Ayelis was sure she would regret the decision at some point.

"Where do you think? Kid's place!" Black star spoke up, seemingly proud of being the first one to answer her question. He and the others had been listening, and had already made their way to join the conversation.

"So we'll see you there then?" Liz was looking at Ayelis with pleading eyes. Why would she want her there so badly anyway?

Ayelis gave a defeated sigh, and nodded in agreement. The Thompson sisters seemed like they were overjoyed with the outcome. She on the otherhand, was a little uneazy about the whole thing. She didn't do parties. Vizy and Lyall had gone to a few, but she had never gone with them. Ayelis didn't hate fancy stuff like that, but she didn't really partake in it either. Hence another reason why she didn't go to these things, she had nothing fancy to wear. She always just did her best with Blacks and purples. Black slacks, and blouse, and a simple, purple vest. Her general attire, and there was nothing special about that. Ayelis apparently had no choice in the matter at this point though.

If you could call it luck, or their own evil plotting. Liz and Patty were up for a shopping trip, and Maka and Tsubaki were coming along for the ride. A girls afterschool shopping spree was exactly how things were turning out. Not exactly how Ayelis had pictured spending her afternoon. She had never done this sort of thing, nor did it interest her in starting, but the girls had insisted on it. She had a pained expression at the thought of Vizy laughing at her, and she had no idea what Lyall would think of her. Embarrassment was but a step away, and it was mocking the poor girl at every turn.

It didn't take long for Liz to pick out something for the smaller girl. Although Ayelis was not sure if she liked it. Short Red dresses were NOT her style at all. She shook her head at Liz, and continued looking around. Maka had found a nice white dress, with frilled edges, it suited her just fine. Tsubaki, had found a wonderful blue, silk dress, with a high collar. It looked so elegent on her. Ayelis only wished she had half the figure Tsubaki did. She didn't exactly have the body of a supermodel, and often felt awkward for having almost nothing to her. As long as she didn't look foolish, and her colors matched, Ayelis didn't really care all that much.

Liz and Patty had found themselves some nice outfits. The two sisters seemed to enjoy the time, browsing through everything. For Liz, a low cut top, and rather short skirt. Ayelis could swear if she bent over you'd see everything! For Patty, A simple red dress, down to her knees, with a pink frilled neckline. Patty's outfit seemed just fine, but Liz seemed like she was out to impress. Maybe Ayelis' own taste was just too different from theirs. She didn't see the point in showing off so much. Then again, if she had the shape to do it, maybe she would have thought about it a little more.

Everyone had already picked out something nice, but Ayelis still hadn't found anything she liked. She didn't care for a lot of what Liz would keep picking out. Showy and sexy tops and skirts were really not her cup of tea, and apparently Liz didn't seem to catch on. It was Tsubaki who finally pulled her aside, and showed her an outfit that she deemed suitable for the occasion. She held out a deep purple lengthy dress. Simple vine patterns decorated it in specs of silver and black, and the neckline was just above the collar bone. The sleeves were black lace, and it had lots of room to breath. It was a comfortable, yet ellegant dress.

"Thanks Tsubaki. I didn't think I'd ever find something I liked." Ayelis gave her a sheepish grin. She was getting more uncomfortable with the whole party idea by the minute.

"Sure. Its no problem." the taller girl smiled back.

"So are we ready to go? I have to get back and get cleaned up!" Liz seemed so worried that she may miss something if they didn't hurry.

Ayelis nodded her head, and the group of teenage girls were off. Maka and Tsubaki reassured, that Ayelis would have a good time. She was sceptical on it though. She could picture Vizy laughing his head off at her, saying she actually looked like a girl for once. Ayelis wasn't a tomboy or anything. She just didn't dress all girly. Lyall would go along with whatever she wanted most of the time. She supposed he was the one who helped her with her insecurities the most.

It was time to get ready for the party, and Ayelis was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Couldn't she have had an extra lesson or something to go to instead? They were all waiting though, and she had said she'd be there. It would have been stupid to back out now.

Both her partners looked like they were ready for a date. Dress shirts and slacks, made them both exceptionally good looking. If Ayelis had been any other girl, she probably would have swooned over them. However, to her it was just absurd to think like that about them. Beides, Vizy had a thing for someone else, and Ayelis never really knew what Lyall thought. He was a shy guy anyway. Ayelis had never considered seeing anyone. She just wanted to get through class every day without any distractions or problems, and get her grades back up.

When the trio arrived at the party, Kid was greeting everyone with a smile. Liz and Patty were with him at the door, both happy to see the lot of people showing up. Something told Ayelis, it was the girls' idea to have this party in the first place. She simply guessed they just got bored and wanted to liven up the night life or something.

Maka and the others were already there, and It wasn't surprising that they spotted the group, and headed in their direction to greet them. Even Chrona had showed up this evening, all dressed in a nice white suit. He looked better off than Ayelis did, and he had good reason to be nervous all the time. She was out of her element entirely. Liz had gone strait up to the girl with a huge smile plastered on her face. She was genuinely happy to see the her there.

"Hey guys! Glad you could make it. By the way, That dress looks awesome on you Ayelis."

"Uh yes, Thank you Liz." she was still not sure about all of this. Although she had to laugh, when Vizy's eyes nearly bulged out of his head at Liz's outfit. Despite that it had been trashy looking on the rack in the store, Liz pulled off the look perfectly. Ayelis now had a very good idea, of who her partner had a crush on.

"Ayelis! Wooo! Look at all the pretty dresses!" Patty was so clueless, but it was probably one of her best qualities when you really thought about it. It gave her an innocent personality.

"Well, shall we get this party started?" Kid's voice broke through Patty's laughter. Looking sharp as always in a suit and tie.

Ayelis smiled. It seemed like everyone was truely in good spirits that night. They all followed the trio inside. To Ayelis' surprise, Lyall had actually been teasing his brother about the small incident outside. Vizy denied every word of it, though the reddish tint on his face told everyone otherwise.

Ayelis scanned the crowd, and the room. She could see just how particular Kid really was with everything. Even the buffet and punch bowls were arranged symmetrically on the tables. Not one picture out of place, and the furniture was arranged perfectly around the room. Perhaps obsessive was too light of a term for him? She spotted Maka and Soul sharring a dance. Soul leading as his meister tried so hard not to step on his toes. Ayelis didn't have a clue about how to dance, and admired Maka's bravery for trying.

Black star was digging into the food and refreshments like he hadn't eaten in days. Poor Tsubaki, just smiled and laughed at his antics. Ayelis really did wonder how she managed to put up with such a character for a partner. Then she looked over to find Vizy stuffing his own face, and remebered that she had a similar partner of her own. Ayelis' expression turned to one of disgust as she watched her weapon gourg on the food before him. She was sure she'd be sick if she ate like that, and her stomache was turning simply from the thought of it.

She watched the students around the room. All of them seemed so happy and carefree right now. No wonder Kid threw so many parties for all of them. It was a good way to lift ones soul from anything that may be depressing them. She had to admitt, she was delighted to be there, and her nerves seemed to be calming down a lot as the party went on. Ayelis was no social butterfly, but maybe she could get used to being around others more. After all, she was only fifteen, and wasn't life for living?

She could see Lyall hanging around Patty, a quiet expression as always, but he was smiling. She could see the presence of affection on the corners of his lips. Ayelis dropped her gaze, as she felt like the only one without someone to linger around all night. The thought brought a frown to her face. It had never occured to her before that she was alone, not on such a deep level. She had Vizy and Lyall, but it was nowhere near the same thing. Ayelis was dissapointed in herself once again, as she made her way to a corner close to a window, and merely watched as the people all mingled and laughed with each other.

It wasn't untill later on that it really began to bother her, the lingering feeling of loneliness that seemed to follow her wherever she went. Vizy and Lyall, both had their partners to mingle with for the evening, those being Liz and Patty. Maka had Soul, Tsubaki had Black Star, Ox had Kim. Hell even Chrona was lucky enough to find a girl who would talk with him. Kid was busy with the majority of the guests, making his rounds and ensuring everyone was enjoying themselves. He had wondered in her direction once, seeing if she was having a goo time. Ayelis merely gave him a smile and nodded, and he was gone again. It just seemed... unfair in some way.

Who was she trying to fool anyway? Ayelis came to a party, where everyone had a pair but herself. She had been hoping, that maybe she'd find someone that wouldn't mind keeping her company for the evening.

"How selfish am I?"

She didn't even have the potential to make Vizy and Lyall into Deathscythes. Next thing you know, she would be expelled for being the worst meister in the history of the DWMA. Her failure would be the laughing stock of the entire academy.

"Maybe I should just go home?" she felt she wasn't going to fit in at the party any time soon. Ayelis sat collecting her thoughts, trying to decide on if she should leave or not.

"Maybe I should see Lord Death about some extra lessons?" or perhaps she should stop talking out loud to herself, as it was earning her odd glances from other people.

She could have used something to take her mind away from the subject of loneliness. Who knows, maybe she would collect a few souls this time around. As she stood up to leave her corner, Ayelis was lost in thought again. All the things she could be doing to try and catch up in class, instead of being there at a party. Self pity seemed to take over her once more, but she shook her head out of it. She would have to stop with that. Maybe she could learn a thing or two from Black Star on that topic. He should be giving a class on it, confidence 101.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, and Ayelis turned to find Maka and Soul, looking at her with such troubled faces. She felt guilty, for causing them to worry so much about her.

"Hello Maka, Soul."

"Ayelis, is something wrong?" Maka stared at her. She could see the concern in her eyes as she questioned her. "You look like somone important to you just died."

"No, I'm all right. Just tired, and I need to get some studdying done anyway." she gave them both a small smile, "I wouldn't want to waste the opportunity you and Tsubaki have given me." Ayelis was truely grateful to them both for lending her their notebooks.

"Hey, come on. Why not lighten up a little? Right Maka?"

"Soul's right, and normally he's the one moping around at parties."

She gave a meek smile to Soul. They really were trying. "It's ok really. I think I just need some air maybe."

"Okay, but if you need to talk, just let me know." Maka reasured her. It was really a nice feeling.

Ayelis nodded her head, thanking them both. She would have to call them her friends from now on. Every one of them had spoken to her all throughout the night, making sure she was alright, and that she was at least having fun. Ayelis had been having a good time, just a bit of a lonely one all the same.

She passed by Vizy and Liz, who were both giving her worried looks as she walked by. Vizy could be a jackass at times, but he did care about his meister. Tsubaki watched along with Lyall, knowing all too well that Ayelis wasn't feeling up for the celebration. She said her good-byes and good-nights to everyone, and headed on her way home, leaving her partners behind. She could have sworn though, the entire night it felt like someone was watching her. Someone other than Maka, or any of the girls. She couldn't really tell who it was, and it didn't seem like it was a bad or malevolent sort of feeling. More of an observing, and a sympathetic feeling resonated from it. Ayelis brushed it off though without a second thought. It was nothing new to her, to have someone starring her way for one reason or another. Even after all this, Ayelis still felt like parites, really weren't her thing after all.

And tada! Like it? don't like it? Tell how I can make it better, or whatnot. Leave me a review ^_^
