New Story!

This takes place after Chapter 63 of the Manga(I'm going to be an Angel).

Enjoy!

Stein stood in the Death Room on a Sunday night with Spirit, Marie, and Lord Death, discussing the current status of the Spartoi children.

"Well Stein? What is your verdict?" Lord Death asked.

"Well sir, the students and their individual abilities are coming along wonderfully. When they're in their two groups, they work fine with very few bumps, but when they are all together in a single group, the trust and teamwork is noticeably strained," Stein said.

"Really? I would think that my Maka would keep everything together perfectly," Spirit gushed. Lord Death sighed and smacked him on the head.

"What are the specific problems?" Lord Death asked as Marie tried to drag Spirit back to his feet.

"Well, Maka seems to have a minor academic rivalry with Ox, Killik has one with Black Star, the list goes on," Stein said, ignoring Spirits shouts on how his daughter couldn't be the problem.

"Okay then. What do you plan on doing about it, Stein?" Lord Death asked.

Stein smiled as he adjusted his glasses. "Well, I was thinking of splitting them up into new temporary partnerships with the person they have struggles with."

"Even a meister with a meister?" Spirit asked, surprised.

"Yes. They need to learn to put aside their differences and accept one another," Marie agreed. "If not, they could run into unforseen problems on a mission that could lead to deadly consequences."

"Thank you Marie," Stein acknowledged, thankful for his current partner's support.

"Who is going to be paired together?" Spirit asked, obviously concerned for Maka.

"That will be decided by me," Stein said. "When should I announce the changes?"

"How about tomorrow? After their classes, hm? That would be a good time," Lord Death said. He sighed with slight worry. "Kid will not like this."

"I know sir, but it is necessary," Stein said.

"I suppose," Lord Death said, already picturing his son having a nervous breakdown over the lack of symmetry in his temporary partner.

"Black Star will surely get a kick out of this," Marie sighed.

"Altogether, this will be a very interesting mismatched mission," Stein said with a smile as he twisted the screw in his head.

Alright, super short chapter, but it's for a very good reason.

THAT'S RIGHT! YOU, THE READERS, WILL BE SELECTING THE MISMATCHED PAIRS!

Only rule is no one that is currently paired up can be paired up, and you must create a full set of pairs from the Spartoi members.

Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Death the Kid, Liz, Patty, Killik, Pot of Thunder, Pot of Fire, Kim, Jacqueline, Ox, and Harvar are the ones that you have to use.

Liz and Patty can be separated if you choose. The same goes for Pots of Fire and Thunder.

Please tell all the authors you know. I want to see all of your ideas!

You can also suggest how you want the story to go (i.e., epic quest, hilarious shenanigans, romance and setting people up, etc).

Leave your choices in the review box or PM it to me!

I may post second chapters to enlighten people of the current lists.

Thanks,
