I stand there in the rain staring at what had befallen my friends. This was suppose to be a time of joy and happiness, not grieving and sorrows. The world had seemed to fallen apart as I wonder what are we to do now?

The Requiem Of Shattered Dreams.

This was most surely the happiest day in Maka's young life. She had been waiting for his moment ever since she and Soul had fallen in love and started to date. He had proposed to her. It was no real surprise to many though they have been dating for many years now and their love had been put to the test on a few occasions as well. They didn't plan on getting married right away, Maka's father would literally blow a major fuse. No we would seriously lose his mind to know his little girl was getting married. They merely wanted to take their love to a new level and engagement seemed like the perfect step.

On this beautiful night, Soul had taken Maka out to a wonderful expensive candle-lit dinner then to the movies. For the grand finale he took her to the very top peak of Shibushin to go star gazing. It was there under the full moon that he asked her to marry him. Needless to say Maka was speechless. She eagerly accepted his proposal and smothered him with kisses. They spent several hours in pure bliss before returning home.

The road back was under construction so they took a detour. It was a twisty and hilly road but Soul was a pretty good driver. This seemed a bit familiar to Soul but he didn't really worry about it. That's when all hell broke loose. One of the tires blew out and he lost control of the car. It began to swerve on the road when it crashed through the barricade at the edge of the road. As the car fell to the ground this is when it hit Soul. This is exactly the same place where his parents died a long time ago when was little. He remembered seeing it on the news that one night he was told to stay home while his parents went out for awhile and he was left with his brother. That was the last thing that went through his mind before he was enveloped in the darkness.

CRASH!

A passing by car had stopped seeing the wreak and called for an ambulance. A few minutes later they arrived and pulled the two from the ruined car and rushed them off the hospital.

Chrona was on her way out of the hospital. She had gone for her monthly check up and have a quick little chat with Stein and Marie who now worked there. She was almost to the door when it suddenly burst open. Paramedics were rushing through carrying two stretchers. Things like this had happened before, but something caught the pink haired girl's attention. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a glimpse of a familiar pigtail of blond hair. The paramedics where gone in a flash as Chrona ran over to the emergency room desk.

"Um....e-excuse m-me.." she said a bit nervously. "C-Can you tell me who...those two...patients were? The ones just carried into the emergency ward just now!"

The desk attendant looked up.

"Are you friend or family?"

"Fr-Friend..."

"I'm sorry but unless you're family or their names have been released, I cannot give you that information." with that she coldly brushed her off.

Chrona turned away sadly rubbing her arm. She quietly muttered to herself about the damn hospital policy. The pink haired girl then suddenly got an idea and carefully snuck back down into the hallways to look for Stein or Marie and hopefully they could help her in what she wanted to know. The pink haired girl was careful of not to get caught by anyone continuing to make way down the long corridor.

She finally came to some stairs and quickly rushed up them before bumping into someone.

"Whoa Chrona...what's the rush?" A female's voice came.

Chrona looked up, there stood Marie looking down at her worriedly.

"I need...your help!"

"What do you need help with?"

Chrona explained what she saw and what had happened at the front desk with the attendant. Marie's eyes slightly widened giving the pink haired girl a nod.

"I'll help you come with me!" Marie said leading her into the back room.

They finally reached the room where all the record of the patients are being kept in many draws of files. Marie opened one of them and went through it mumbling random peoples last names that beginning in "A" when she suddenly stopped coming to see one familiar name in the files. Albarn Maka. Pulling it out Marie looked through it and read through what information they had already.

"Chrona...you were right. Maka is here and it seems she was with Soul and they got into a horrible car accident." Marie said sadly.

Chrona's eyes went very wide and instantly filled with tears starting to cry. The blonde haired nurse pulled her in hugging her tightly.

"It will be awhile till we'll know the full damage of the accident. Come back tomorrow and I'll let you know everything ok?"

Nodding her head Chrona turned and walked out the hospital her head hung low. The poor girl really didn't know what to think about whats happened to her dear friends. But on that night she couldn't sleep a wink. Sitting in the corner of her room Chrona hugged the pillow to her chest crying into it afraid of what the outcome will be tomorrow.

Morning came fast, Chrona was so very tired not having slept a wink all night long. The sun shone through the window and let light shine into her room. When she saw this and realized it was already daylight the pink haired girl stummbled to feet nearly falling heading out the door back towards the hospital. She arrived moments later, Marie was waiting for her at the same place they had met but her eyes showed sadness in them.

"Marie...? What is it...?"
