'Soul?' Maka called from inside her bedroom, obviously concerned. 'I... uh... can't reach the zip to do up my dress... Can you zip it up for me?' Maka nervously asked Soul.

'Sure, I guess,' Soul replied, and with that, Maka's bedroom door unlocked and opened, revealing a petite, flat-chested young lady with long, straight grey hair wearing a gorgeous mini dress, coloured like the sunset, with radiant shades of purple, red, pink, orange and yellow gleaming in the light.

'Wow Maka, you look amazing!' Soul exclaimed, stunned at how beautiful Maka looked.

'You mean it? For real?' Maka quizzed Soul, surprised at his initial reaction as she turned on the spot so her back was facing Soul.

'Would I ever lie to you?' Soul replied, giving his signature shark toothed grin, as he stepped forward and grabbed the zip on Maka's dress, ready to yank it up.

'No...' Maka said quietly as she blushed at Soul's remark.

With that, Soul began to slowly pull the zip up, taking care not to catch Maka's skin. Maka giggled to herself as she could feel Soul's breath tickling her on the back of her neck.

'What's up?' Soul asked, persistent on an answer as to why Maka burst out in a giggle fit.

'Don't worry, it's nothing. Have you finished yet?' Maka inquired, wondering if Soul was done yet.

'Yep.' Soul finished, as he released his grasp and took a step back.

As Soul stepped out of Maka's radar, Maka twirled on the spot a few times, letting her little dress flow out like a blooming flower.

'Stunning.' Soul mumbled under his breath, trying to keep to himself.

'What's the time Soul?' Maka questioned. 'How much time do we have until the prom?'

'It's 8.45pm; we'd best be on our way if we want to make it in time.' Soul replied.

With that, Soul and Maka headed toward the door to begin their walk to the DWMA.

A few streets away from their apartment, Soul and Maka were greeted by Black*Star and Tsubaki, not long followed by Kid, Liz and Patty.

'Wow Maka, you look so pretty!' Tsubaki complimented in her usual shy tone.

'I love your dress! Where'd you get it?' Asked Patty with sparkles in her eyes.

'Thanks. I've had this dress a while, I just never wore it... but now it's a bit small.' Maka answered, sounding devastated.

'It's so pretty, I want one!' Patty shrieked in her high pitch, squeaky voice.

'I'm afraid that your boobs would be too big for a dress like that,' butted in Kid, with his usual calm attitude.

'HEY!' screamed Patty, not happy with Kid's unkind remark.

Within a few minutes of walking down winding streets and alleyways, the gang had arrived at the DWMA ready for Soul and Maka's leaving prom. They were greeted warmly by Lord Death at the doorstep and were quickly ushered inside the building into the main hall.

The main hall had changed incredibly since classes at the beginning of the day. The hall was decorated with banners, streamers and confetti and had tables dotted around everywhere, full of food: crisps, pizza, punch and anything you could imagine. You could tell Kid had set it all out, as everything was perfectly symmetrical, as usual.

The main focus of the night was Soul and Maka's graduation; within seconds of them entering, they were being greeted and congratulated by random people they had never even seen or met before.

The night sailed by and Soul and Maka were having the time of their lives, but one thing kept plaguing Maka's mind more than anything – what would the future bring for her and Soul after graduating?
