Chapter 1
"And now, the DWMA's graduating class of 2012!" Lord Death bellowed from the deep mahogany podium set up at the front of the campus. A thunderous applause boomed all around as the new graduates stood, chins held high.
"Please welcome this year's Valedictorian, Maka Albarn!" Again, a thunderous applause was heard from all around. Maka stood up from her seat at the very front of the congregation, her hair in its' usual pigtails. Her black graduation robes swaying as she walked towards the podium. Stumbling on the last step, she caught herself on the podium, her cheeks red as a tomato. Light snickers could be heard throughout the crowd. Her jade green eyes stared intently into the cluster-fuck that was her fellow graduates, waiting for them to calm down. She cleared her throat and silence filled the entire stadium.
"Today is the start of the rest of our lives." She began. "A great poet once said, 'Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I-; I took the one less traveled by; and that has made all the difference.' What Robert Frost was trying to say is, be different. Do things a lot of other people wouldn't. It will make a difference. Following the crowd will get you nowhere. This is the time in our lives where we discover ourselves as individuals. I challenge you all to take the road less traveled. Make a difference. Be unique. Being unique separates you from the rest of the world. It shows your true colors. Let's make our colors shine bright neon, not boring gray. Shine. Be a great beacon. I leave you with this quote 'Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations.' Thank you."
A deafening applause erupted all throughout the stands. Maka blushed, again, and made her way off the stage, straight into her partner's arms. "You did so well, I am so proud of you!" Soul praised, smiling and giving her a quick kiss on the forehead. He grabbed her hand, leading her back to their seats, never letting go. Not the she was complaining. Maka couldn't stop smiling. When they finally sat down, she quickly turned to him, giving him a small peck on the lips in appreciation and sat down. Smiling, they both turned their attention back to the ceremony.
"And now, the DWMA's graduating class of 2012 will receive their diplomas." Lord Death announced in his ever cheery voice they had all come to know and love. "Maka Albarn…Soul Evans…Death the Kid…Tsubaki Nakatsukasa…Patricia Thompson…Elizabeth Thompson...Black*Star…" the list continued on to the last student.
"I thank you fellow weapons and meisters. You are no longer students but from here on, we are colleagues. We come together as one soul to defend Death City and those who are in need." Death exclaimed, grinning behind his mask and bowing to the new graduates. The former students bowed back in return and threw their caps in the air, cheering and celebrating newfound freedom. "And cue the cheesy musical number!" Death proclaimed. An extremely awkward silence followed his announcement. "...NOT! You should have seen your guys' faces, haha!" Everyone erupted into extremely large guffaws, returning to their previous state of celebration.
Maka turned to Soul, jumping up, grabbing him around the neck, and kissing him hard, putting every ounce of love she had into the kiss. Soul, although surprised, responded eagerly, pulling her flush against his body. He licked her bottom lip, pleading for entrance. Maka, of course, granted his wish immediately. The pair fought for dominance whole heartedly, exploring each other's mouths thoroughly. Surfacing for air, Maka broke the kiss, resting her forehead against his, grinning like a maniac. Soul pecked her lips once more and just held her there in his arms. The couple only broke apart when they were bombarded by their rambunctious group of friends.
"We graduated! Fuck yeah! Look out world, here we come!" Black*Star bellowed to the group of teens. "Get ready to meet your new king! Hahaha!" He bellowed out, not knowing that Maka held her diploma in her hand, getting ready to Maka-Chop him. Black*Star didn't notice until he heard a crack and saw little diplomas flying around his head in little circles.
"That hurt!" he yelped in pain. Blood was starting to drip from his skull, causing to blow up in Maka's face. "You're gonna be sorry!" he started to stretch out his limbs when he felt another smack, causing him to fall, unconscious, and his head gushing blood.
"That's what you get for ruining my moment with Soul." She stuck her tongue out at the unconscious ninja assassin and turned back towards Soul. His ruby eyes stared at her emerald ones intently. He was smirking, causing his razor sharp teeth to show. After two years, he had changed a lot. His scar was starting to fade away but you could still see the white line that ran from his left shoulder to his right hip. He became stronger by settling with the black blood that had been lingering inside his body and after all the training he did with Professor Stein, causing him to fill out nicely. He had an athletic build, equipped with sturdy arms and legs. His chest was chiseled to perfection, hidden under the robes of his graduation gown…
"Maka, you're staring again." The death scythe reminded the young Meister.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Soul." Maka countered, but the deep blush that crept up her cheeks gave her away quickly.
"Mmhmm, sure, sure." Soul said, with a knowing grin, turning towards their friends, looking at her from the corner of his eye.
"Anyways, Professor Stein said he wanted to see us after the ceremony. And before you ask, no, I don't know why." Tsubaki told us, looking up at them from her position on the floor, next to the unconscious Black*Star.
"Okay, we should probably head over there now then. Everyone's almost left." Kid reminded the group.
They all agreed and headed off to the main entrance of the building. Walking down the long corridors, the group walked in pairs, coupled up as usual. Black*Star and Tsubaki lead the way, holding hands and talking animatedly. Soul and Maka were trailing right behind, their hands joined as well, whispering to each other with small smiles on their faces. Kid, Liz, and Patti brought up the rear, Patti and Kid talking about the only symmetrical giraffe while Liz filed her nails in sheer boredom.
When they reached Stein's office, Tsubaki knocked and waited for the professor to open the thick walnut door. Stein cracked the door open and ushered the group inside, shutting the door behind them.
"Good evening kids, congrats on your graduations. We are all very proud of you. Now, I've called you all here to reward you guys for your effort." He began, rolling across the room to his obsidian desk, opening the top drawer and pulling out a manila envelope. "Marie and I have decided that you have all worked very hard and deserve this award. Therefore, I would like to invite you guys, along with new demon swordsman Crona, to Vegas with us." Gasps went throughout the room. Stein held his hand up to silence them. "It's a weeklong trip, all expenses paid; each of you will be given a $5,000 credit card under your name and a room at the Palazzo Hotel." Again, gasps rung throughout the small office. "You are all of age so we expect good behavior, Marie and I will be 3 floors down if any of you need something. We have already informed Crona of this trip, he is delighted to come. We hope you all will do the same."
There was a moment of silence and then the room erupted into chaos.
Review damn you, or no SoKa awesomeness!
