Hello! ^.^ Thanks for reading my story, I want to say before it begins that this is based off from the disney movie Beauty and the Beast, man I love that movie. Hope you enjoy! ^-^

Disclaimer: I sadley don't own Soul Eater or Disney, i mean like seriously do I look old enough to be Walt Disney XD.

Any who on to the story...

Maka woke up at the sound of the birds singing(a/n I know a bit cliche .). Today was a new day in Deathville, and she couldn't wait to go to the library. Most people thought it useless for women to read or have an education and most girls followed that 'rule', all except Maka. Although she didn't know it, people found Maka beautiful, yet strange for choosing to have an education. Maka loved books, they were basically the onely friends she had(a/n sigh, I used to be like that too .). Maka had decided that she would leave town but there was one thing that always held her back, it was her father. Her father was a scientist but his inventions lost year after year to a mad scientist named Stein, each time he lost he would get drunk and would become a womanizer. Maka sighed, because of her father they were quite poor. I just don't know what to do with him anymore, Maka thought, Should I accept Soul's offer? She scoffed. Hah! As if! Anything but that. I'll manage somehow on my own.

...

"Well well well, if it isn't Maka Albarn. You are mine." muttered Soul to himself.

All the girls in Deathsville found Soul handsome for some reason but Maka couldn't see how. She tried to walk quickly past him while burying her face in a book only to be held back.

"Maka are you trying to avoid me? You know you can't do that." said the albino. Maka scoffed.

"How did you know it was me?" she said.

"What other girl wears pigtails and buries her nose in a book?" Soul said, his amusement showing in his eyes. Maka blushed slightly at his comment, "Besides, don't act like you don't know me. We used to be best friends."

"That was until you started acting like a jerk, along with that sidekick of yours." Maka retorted.

"I'm not a jerk, It's called being cool." Soul said "And Black*Star would beg to differ about the sidekick thing."

"What does 'cool' even mean? Well whatever, get it through your head I won't marry you." Maka said almost laughing.

"Of course. I would never do that to you without your permission, I know you don't feel about me that way." Soul sighed, "It's just my dad's been pressuring me into marrying some one. I thought confessing to you was worth a shot."

"Oh, Soul. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry, and all along here I was trying to avoid you. Please forgive me." Maka said "Friends?"

"Friends." Soul said smiling gently hugging her. The moment was soon interrupted by a certain blue haired boy. "Hey Soul. What are you doing?"

"Oh uh. Hi Black*Star." replied Soul. Maka noticed his tone changed.

"Who's this? Hah? Is that a book in her hand." he asked.

"I'm Maka, and yes this is a book. What are you blind?" Maka said irritated by his comment.

"She's a litttle pretty I guess, but damn she's got a loud mouth." Maka's eye started twiching. "But seriously Soul? At of all the babes in the town you chose her? She's a bookworm and has no chest." That's it.

"MAKA- CHOP!"

Black*Star fell on the ground, a small blood fountain sprouting from his head. Soul said nothing just stood there in shock. Then he grinned,"Glad you haven't changed."

"Hmmph! That idiot had it coming." Maka said. Soon after both started laughing.

"I'm glad we are friends again" said Maka. "Yeah." replied Soul, Oh Maka, *snicker* I will make you mine.

[Gallows Castle]

The young raven haired prince looked at the smiling green eyed girl through a hand mirror. Soul you are so lucky, he thought, but treasure her while she lasts, I won't let this perfectly symmetrical girl escape my sight. I don't plan on sharing her, you think she is yours? Stupid. She'd independent. But if anyone makes her swoon it will be me. Her by your side won't last long.

"Stein!"

"Yes, young lord?" said the scientist.

"I can't wait any longer. I want her here tonight! Make sure everything goes as planned." said the young lord.

"Of course." the scientist's glasses glinted creepily (a/n Like in the anime XD). "You should know by now young lord, I never fail."

I hope you liked it! Mua ha ha. Did you think it was going to be all sweet and happy like the disney movie? (maybe it is) But I also have other plans... ^-^
