1. Chapter 1

"Maka!"

"No! Don't let go!" she yelled

"You need to save yourself, you aren't going to be able to pull both of us up."

"No! Soul- NO!" She felt his hand let go. She tried to hang on but...gravity got the best of it. "NO! SOUL! Soul..." Her cries turned to whimpers as she watches Soul fall from the 23 floor of their Manhattan apartment. "No..." She turned away.

Maka remembered this day, from exactly one year ago. Their apartment had caught on fire, Soul tripped on the fire escape and the stairs started falling, Maka grabbed him and the rail...but...he chose to save her. She stood by Soul's grave, thinking about how weak she was. Not being able to save him. He gave up his life... for her. She put down her flowers on his grave. White roses. Soul, she thought, I will always remember you. She turned and walked away, tears, streaming down her face.

Chapter 1

"Hey Maka! Ready for the trip?" She saw Black Star walking towards her with a smile. "Remember, this trip isn't for grieving, we will remember Soul, but you have to let the past go and move on." He smiled "Now let's get this show on the road!"

"Haha, I was about to say that that was the smartest thing you've ever said but then you killed it." She walked with Black Star to Kid's apartment. Liz and Patty where already there, living in the apartment below Kids, they were always first to here the news

"Hey Maka! Hey bullshit!" Kid greated them.

"HEY! Just because my initials are BS doesn't mean you can go around calling me bullshit!" Protested Black Star

"Freedom of speech."

"Not if its bullying!" Black Star crossed his hands and pouted.

""You guys still didn't tell me where we're going. You even told Liz to pack my bags so I couldn't tell!"

"ooh! Can I tell her? Can I tell her?!" Patty yelled. Kid nodded. "Yay! Ok ready?" She looked so excited Maka thought she was gonna burst "We are going to..." She paused dramatically "Snowfall Ski Resort!" She squealed.

"Oh cool! I used to love skiing, but I haven't skied in 6 years so don't you make fun of me!" Maka looked warningly at Black Star

"What?" He raised his arms in innocence.

"Anyway, who are we still waiting for?" Kid looked at Liz who made the guest list.

"Kilik with Fire and Thunder," Liz rattled of the names "Ox, Harvar, Taibaki, and Kim."

"This should be fun!" Maka said. But she couldn't help thinking Soul would've loved this.
