An awkward question

(A/N: I always wondered this, and I think that all of us deserve to know the answer. My first Soul Eater fic, I don't own it, etc, etc.)


At Kid's house, a party for the DWMA was going on, and the whole gang was there. Maka walked from the buffet with a full plate and a strange expression. She didn't usually look like that, as she was a nerd who did nothing but read, so she knew everything, Soul thought.

"Soul? I had a question for you. Well, for all the weapons in general, really."

"What is it, Maka?"

"What happens to your clothes when you become a weapon?"

Silence. Not a good silence, but the awkward kind that makes everybody wish that some idiot would jump in and add a stupid comment so that the quiet would STOP.

Tsubaki spoke for all the weapons when she said: "Uh?"

"Well, when you are in weapon form, you aren't wearing anything inside it. Do your clothes like, morph into the weapon, or are you in some random room where clothes aren't allowed? Do you know why?"

"I never really thought about that", Black Star added, "So what's up with that?"

Liz sighed.

"Do you really want to know why? If I tell you, it will kind of… derail your thoughts."

Maka nodded fervently.

"Yes! I want to know!"

"Fanservice."

"What?"

"I said fanservice."

All the weapons nodded, while Maka looked more confused.

"How do I explain it? We are in an anime. And the people that watch it really like seeing us do strange things, like not wearing clothes. So, to please the fans, we have to do things like, not wearing clothes, or being in hot springs, or basically doing things that would be considered sexually provoking. Got it?"

Maka nodded and sat down.

"You mean we're in an anime? We aren't real?"

"No, we are not. We're just characters that someone made up, and as soon as this story is over, we go back into nonexistence."

"THATS NOT TRUE! I'M REAL! Right, Soul?"

Soul just patted her on the back and looked sympathetic.

"It's OK. You will get used to it. Not existing isn't really that bad, and we get to do whatever we want!"

"Even flying on rainbow penguins?"

"Yes."

And all the weapons and meisters went to Brazil and flew on rainbow penguins until this story ended.

The end.


(A/N: Yeah, I'm sorry. I am guilty of breaking the fourth wall. Well, I'm not really sorry. If you want reality, go outside. Review! I want to know what other unanswered Soul Eater questions people have!)
